It opens up several other questions, but is in line with the plan proposed by the Dominion Alliance. It may or may not be, the best way to reach the end desired, but there are a great many people in the Dominion whq would be glad to see the experiment tried.

Mr John Charlton, the able -member from Norfolk, has been repeatedly taunted by the Opposition, as "the member from Michigan." simply be. cause he happened to be interested in the lumber business. During the con- tingent discussion, no man has deliver- ed a more loyal, patridtio or helpful address, than bas Mr Charlton, who in his speech of an hour, was repeated- ly applauded:by both sides of the House, and even Opposition papers are compelled at last to admit that it was a masterly effort. Now let them be honest enough to drop their sland- ers aga net a good man. E�IDENCE OF PROSPERITY. The railway earnings are one' of the best evidences of the prosperity And development of a country, and the earnings of the C. P. R. show in a striking manner the rapid advance being made by the Dpminron since the Liberals came into power. In 1895, the last year of Conservative rule, the receipts were $18,941,036. But when the Liberals took charge of affairs the earnings rose as follows :- - - 1898-$26,681.5116 1897- 24,094,531 1898- 26,188,977 • 1899-'29,230,038 rase of nearly 000 An increase y $ $11 , ,000 in four years of Liberal rule. There's . not much "decay andruin" consolation our Exeter flea(' had adopted the Johnston,Johnston, W.A. 'c fcr our Opposition friends in this, steam method.

Mr Flint, (Yarmouth) has given not- ice of the followingresolution :-•-'That this House has affirmed the principle that the prohibition of the liquor traffic is the right and most effectual legisla- tive remedy for the evils of intemper• ance,•and has also declared that assoon as public opinion would sufficiently sustain stringent measures, it was pre- pared to sustain such legislation :--.

This is adeseryed tribute to' his'worth and recdanition of'hi.m as an authority on agricultural matters, and no man -in. the. House will discharge the duties of Chairman more satisfac 'torily. . The Opposition press have been shouting that the. French-Canadians, are disloyal, because an individual here or there; expresses views that are not general. -Sir-Charles Tripper's in dignaptc'enial of viewsattributed to him no this connection, should stop the mouths of these Opposition papers, or they will get their party . hopelessly tangled up in such a way that they will not know where they are at. In Manitoba, Hugh John Macdonald is dismissing Liberal employees of the hate Government, not because they are offensive partisans, but, according - to his own statement, "by way ot revenge." If the Ottawa Government should retaliate, there would beagreat grist of vacancies in the Civil Service staff. It is a common complaint here that Conservatives by the hundred are retained in ofliicial positions, even though it is known many of these men are not in •the confidence of their superiors. The Ministers are condemn- ed by their own supporters tor retain- ing these men in positions Lf tenet, and we doubt if such things would be by a Conservative Minister U toleratedy for twenty-four hours. • Among the members who may vol- untarily retire at the close of the pres- ent parliament,is Mr D. K. Erb,the Lib- eral who. -represents South Perth. Mr Erb is an able and well-informed young man, capable at any time of •taking a creditable share in parliamentary de- bate, but he has no particular liking for public life,and in deference to his own feelings he may decline re -nomin- ation. Should this be the case, we do not know who will be his successor, but we know one man who is entitled to recognition at the hands of South Perth Liberals., This is Mr Race, editor of the Mitchell Recorder. That he is an able man will not be disputed, even by his opponents, and that he bas strong claims on the party is equally true. No doubt South Perth has many able men in its borders, but in our opinion we known of 'no one who would represent it more ably or efficiently than the gentleman whom we have named.
