ONE THING AND ANOTHER.
Hon. Israel Tarte is making good use
of his tenure of office in providing for
relatives far and near. The latest to
profit by the connection is his son's
father -in law, a real estate agent, who
bas been given a dredging contract.
Practically the ntan knows no mune
about dredging than he does about the
creed of the man in the union, but
what matters that as the contract was
given him to fal,r•m out and he has acted
accordingly. under the benign rule.
of Laurier and the delectable Tarte
this is the kind of farming that pays
best.
Abdul "the Unspeakahl Turk" may
consider that his creed calls for the ex-
termination of the Armenians who
dwell outside the pale of Mahomet,
while Weyler "the Butchers" was pro-
bably animated by patriotism in his
severe treatment ot the Cuban rebels,
but it was love of the almighty dollar
alone which prompted the C.P.R. con-
tractors to practice barbarities upon
the navvies employed in the construc-

The treatment of those poor fellows
was simply shocking and if severe
punishment does not follow it will be
because of the influence of the C.P.R.

monopolistic corporation may do as it
pleases and there is no one in authority
to say them nay.
Attacks are being made upon Han-
satd, the official journal of the debates,
votes and proceedings of Parliament
and it does appear that an agitation is
to be set afoot for either its abolition
or curtailment -one is no better than
the other. Hansard like everything
else about Parliament Bill is some-
what expensive, but it enables us to
know where the members are at and
with the tab thus kept upon then
they cannot very well tell one story
in the house and a contrary one on
the Hustings. With no other record
than that furnished by the party
press there would be confusion worse
confounded.
Governor Cameron is probably by
this time at Regina and into the "cock-
ed hat" in which the Toronto Telegram
pictorially represents him, so soon
may we all look for evidences of his
fine Italian band in measures for the
growth and prosperity of the Terri-
tories. The Indians, no doubt, will be
the Governer's special care, and if call-
ed in his official capacity to report
upon the aborigines for the Blue Book,
its may be taken for granted that, as a
matter of course, he will take ell pos-
sible precautions against garbling and,
as is well known, no one can so well
guard against the practice as a garb-
ler himself.
It is said the Laurier Government
would like nothing better than a con -
filet with' the Senitte'and Men 'go to
the country on the issue. For their
own sake they should think twice for
at no period since Confederation has
the Upper Chamber stood so high in
public estimation as at the present.
If for no other reason, the country is
indebted to the Senate for its veto of
the Yukon Railway deal and if it con-
tinues to stand on guard against the
exploiters there is but little danger ot
the agitation getting much beyond its
present dimensions.
.**
The Dominion Parliament yoted sev-
eral hundred thousand dollars to Manito-
ba, on one pretext and another. This is
to be deprecated for a two -fold reason.
In the first place it is a re -opening of
the better terms or raiding agitation,
and secondly it is the payment the
Greenway Government gets for play-
ing into the bands of Laurier on the
School Question. It is a "sunny" way,
to be sure, but as the effulgence is cast
at the country's cost, the query quite
naturally arises, why should the tax-
payers be called upon to pay for the
pulling of Laurier's chestnuts out of
the fire?
A . deputation waited on Premier
Hardy last week to impress upon him
the need of retaining Hon. John Dry-
den in his present position. The depu-
tation, it may be said, was worked up
by a retainer of the Agricultural De-
partment ; there was nothing
whatever spontaneous about it.
What with hanging on to the
emoluments of office and hunt-
ing for a constituency these he
working days for Mr. Dryden. Per-
haps after all the attempts to foist. bin
upon East Huron may end in his fur-
ther discomfiture, but really it is a
pretty state of affairs when a Cabinet
minister can not secure a seat and
finds even his portfolio slipping away
from him.

The family compact grows apace.
Sir Louis Davies has appointed his
brother an immigration agent in Min•
nesota at $2000 a year. If there is a
member of the Laurier Cabinet who
has not already given one or more of
his relatives a place in the public ser-
vice, then it would he news to hoer it,.
By the way immigration agents must

States. As there are no very visible
results, a statement of how they eel•
ploy their time would he quite inter-
esting.
The first crop bulletin of Manitoba
for the year is very encouraging.
There are 200,000 more acres of wheat
under cultivation than last year.

Acute Rheumatism
Pains In the Foot and Limb -A
Complete Cure Accomplished by
Hood's Sarsaparilla.
"For a number of years I was afflicted
with scute rheumatism in my lett side
and all the way down my limb into my
foot. I live five blocks from my work and
had to stop and rest several times in going
and coming. I could get no relief from
my trouble and was on the point of giv-
ing up my job when I happened to hear of
Hood's Sarsaparilla. I purchased a bottle
of this medicine and a vial of Hood's Pills
and began taking them. Before I had
half finished them I was relieved and it
was not long before I was completely
cured. I never lose an opportunity to
praise Hood's Sarsaparilla, for my cure
meant a great deal to me, as I have a fam-
ily and must always be at my post."
