Strenge as it may seem, Sir Richard
Cartwright, altitough a strict eon -
Mt in fOrmer days, is the most ex-

Hie office is an absolute sinecure, and
the Wary a $7,000 is a pension. The

sojourning at Battle Oreek, Michigan,
where the frank would not work. Un-
like Mr. Sifton, who has a splendid.
stable at Ottawa, Sir Richard floes his
outdoor exercise in cabs. Down it goes
in the public accounts—"Oab hire at
Ottawa, $160,25." Sir Richard has a
Deputy Minister to do his work, when
there is any, and a secretary, and a
staff of messengers to wait on him.
This outfit costs $10,000. Altogether
the gallant knight costs the country
$80,000 annually. Sir Richard has a
most luxurious time, and his speeches
now breathe that strong feeling of con-

that Sir Richard is one of them, we
