If economy be the object of the present Government's interference with our Railway mauavement, amd they reaily belicve that they can eject any saving, how comes it that thes have dieeined it necessar/ to put $30,000 in the estimates for that service, over and above

what it cost last year ?-—Journad.

Wirg a view probably to suppor pretentious claiuns to the practice o economy in the public service, it would seem that the Grit Ministry regularly made a practice of inserting in the esti- mates asum consideravly smaller for the Government Railways than they could be run fer.

The temperance issue does not come up in this election ; and we have, therefore, no desire to urge-—and have not urged— the rejection of Mr. Morris on the ground that he is interested in a brewery.

rect, and that there was a difference of more than $100,000 between the vote taken and the amount expended.

In the case of our own Railway, a sum of $500,000 was voted during the past three years for working expenses and renewals, while the three year’s expenditure exceeded this amount by $65,125.17.

The present Minister of Public Works prefers to deal more honestly with the people of Canada, and places in the Esti-

mates the sum which he thinks will be re- quired to conduct the railway service economically and efliciently. In the vote for the ensuing year is included a larger amount than previously for steel rails and fastenings.

A STAUNCH suPrPorTER of Messrs. Davies & Morris told us, a few days ago, that the editor of the Putrivt was doing far more harm than good to his Party, and that Mr. Davies might, with truth, make use of the expression, ‘‘Save me from my friends.” | We have no doubt that the ex-Attorney- General used the same expression with double force when he read the short para- graph in last night’s Patriot questioning
