If the Com:

The House of Com- mons has not, this year, passed anything more tangible or practical than wind; aud the Senate has bad nothiag to do,—conses quently it has adjourned. The blame does not lie with the Senate, but with the Goverament which brings forth the most of its measures through the House of Commons,

WHAT IS IT?

Some members of the Legislature seem to think that the bill entitled ‘‘An Act to amend an Act to impose a direct ‘ax on certain Classes of Traders” is not really a; license law. That they are wrong in this regard is evident upon the slightest con- sideration of the matter of the bill. The bill provides that those commercial travellors and liquor dealers who may pay certain sumsof money inte the public treasury and comply with certain condi- tious, sheli have the right and pr.vilege of selling their ‘‘goode,” “wares,” **merchin: dize”’ and “liquors” within this province and city, respectively, while those who do not pay the fee and comply with the condi- tions shall be puniehed by fine and im- prisonment, If thisis not a licets: law, pure and simple, we cannot imagine aoy law that could be so described. “‘License,” ‘** wonopoly,” and “ the protection of law,’ are given those who may pay tae tax and comply with the conditions, All others are outlawed in sofar as the liquor busi- ness in this city isconcerued. The bill is, to all intents and purposes,a measure of “license,” and it is a bad measure of license, though it may, perhaps,we hope it will, result in a smaller measure of drunk-~ enness than has been.

Many euch Liberals, including the Guar» vot toresent “ the slap in the face’’ received at the knightly hand of Sir Wilfrid But the floutiog of the plebiscite majority has been followed by the sudden, unexpected and perfidious desertion of the Hen.

DEATH OF TALMAGE McMILLAN.

We announce to-day, with the greatest possil le regret, the death ef Mr. Talmage McMillan, of New Haven. Mr. McMillao was a brilliant and distinguished student at Prince of Wales College and at McGi'l Uuivers.ty, graduating firet in hie class aud winning an Oxford scholarsbip. A year ago be was looked uvon as one of the most promising of young Canadians, the pride of his Province and his family. He was the son of Hugh McMillan, E-q., and a nephew of our esteemed fellow citi- zens, Mesers Renald MeMi-lan and J. K. Ross.

NOTES AND COMMENTS.

- Our Liberals will soon begin to find out that political honesty pays best in the long run.

—Mr. Gabriel McDonald is naturally glad that the Hon. Doaald Farquiarron has come around to his wey of thinking,

—-Many honest men are in favor of “li- cense;” butall despice the hypocrite who adds to his hypocrisy the darker sin of perfidy.

—It makes us laugh to hear the Hon. Donald Farqubareon using the very argus ment in behalf of bis “tax” which did service in favor of “iicense” ten yeara ago.

—Favoured I'quor ,dealers—those who can concilate the government by the pays ment of $200 a year— are permitted to have the additional attraction of pretty barmaids.

—Whenthe Lieutenant Governcr ehall have asserted to the actentitled an act to impose a direct taxon certain classes of traders all the conditions of “the deal” will have been fulfilled,

—The licence “corner”? was too sharp for The Guardian to turn with the Pre« mier, so it keeps right along. But we may look out for the herring that will te drawn across the track of the Liberals at the first oppertunity.

-—All liquor dealera whocan afford to pay the $20) fee to Premier Farquharson & Co., may sell, whisky, brandy, ziv, beer, etc., ad libitum; and make their fortunes, but those whe can’t afford to pay thetax are tobe punished for selling a glass ofeithkr. Yet our Liberals in the Legislature maintain that they have not pussed a license law.
