DRUMMOND RAILWAY DEAL.

| Ix the House of Comm »ps, a few dava | ago, the Minister of Railways was ccn- | etrained to admit that the action of the | Senate in throwing out the meagure last session bad resulted in a saving on cue item of $6,000 year, representing a capi~ tal sum of $200,000. This is the first time | the Governmert bas openly confessed that | the present bargain is in any way better 'than the first, Incidentally, it was dis- | covered that Mr. Blair did not know whe- | theror not the contract bound

Drummond County Railway. This is a matter of $50,00@ or thereabouts, but the present Administration seems to think that a Jitile thing like that is not worth bothering about.

THE GERRYMANDER.

Tus Mail aod Empire puts the case o¢ P. E. Island in thie way ;

“There are five constituencies there now, baving the following population :

“It is a fair distribution into constitu- encies.

“The new scheme altera the boundaries and forms the following constituencies :

MR i aisc os pba aaibas 26,633—1 member SOOO. «+ i abveias. acckan 45,788—2 members Priuce.................36470—3 members

“There is one member for 26,633 pecple in Kings aed one for 18,235 in Prince.

“It is calculated by the Government that by thus shuffling the constituencies into irregular units as to population five Liberals will be returned from the Island and the Conservatives will be entirely un- represented,”

The Mail and Empire has bit the nail preity squarely in the head as to the | Liberal calculation, Bui it is not at ai! likely that their calculations will be bouvae cut. P. E. Islanders may be tutipulated if they don’t know it; —not if they do,

_—_——

The Montreal Gazetié rcmarke that “the object of the ekilful gerrymander is to get as much political advantage as is possible with a superficial appearance of fairness, ’ But so faras this Province ie Cdicerned not even the appearance Of fairness is maintained. Continuing the Gazette says :

“The fact that the Government scheme creates obvious and startling inequalities is in itself enough to condemn it, whether ‘the constituencies which are deprived of | their fair share of representation are | Conservative, or Liberal, or | uncertain. All the talk about | city voters being given less power

because they have not as much “stake in the country” as the “honest and indepen- dent farmer” i¢ mere poppycock. Re» { presentation by population is the founda

NOTES AND COMMENTS

— Commenting upon thre Gerrymander, the Montreal Gazette remarks that “So long as there is a remnant of pudlic opine ion in Canada, a plain cace of steal will always doa party harm at the polls.”

—The marrisge of Dr. Gregor, of Mer Gill College, is announced in another col- unin. Dr. Gregor’s friends in thie Pro- vince wi l,we ere sure, unite with Tar Ex AMINER ip wishing bim and _ his bridea long life of happiness and prosperity .

— Sir Louis Davies has brought iv a bill to amend the act respecting the protection of navigable waters. As the law stands tiie dumping of ship refuse is prohibited in waters of less than ten fathoms. Harbor cominissioners allow ships to dump ballast in certain parts of harbors, and Sir Lwuis’s bill will make this legal.

— The school trustees of a Massachu- setts town have issued a decree that under no circumstances must teachers appear at~ tired iv short skirte or attenuated trousers. The order 's of course aimed at those who ride bicycles. The trustees give as a rea~ sen that besides bordering on the impro- per the wearing ofshort skirts by women “lowers the dignity of the teacher.” As forthe men, they say, “they should have better sense than appear in the etreet in knee breeches and lond stockings.” The order bas given rise to much indignation among the teachers.

—Sir Henri Joly Lotbiniere has brought down areturo to Parliament showirg the number of factories established since 1896 for the manufacture of Canadian tobacc>, or of Canadian and foreign tobacco mixed. The statement shows that from July 1891, to February, 1898, tweaty~three factories } had been established for the macufaciure wt Ganadian tobacco, of which number fiftee’ had been discentinued befove Jane, 1398. Since July, 1898, fuut factore have been established for the Manufaccave of Canadian and three for (hs manufacture of mixed tobacto, fone of whch have been discontinued up to the present.

cmThe Hamilton Spectator says all | Glens pointe toa general electioa in Sep- tember of this year, or thereabout, the date depending im some measure whether or not the international conference is resumed, and the length of time it wil! be in session, if resumed. The haste of the Government in pressing the gerrymander through, the expectation of a short crop in Mazitoba and the Northwest, and the good times which now exist, combine to make Sep- tember a good time for a general election— a good time for the Government.

—-A colony is being formed on Station e Island by the School of Psychic Philoso- phy organized in the spring of (898. A tract ot 150 acres in Meiener avenue, near the village of Richmond, bas receut]y been bought, and preparations are being made for the erection of a house of worship and many emsli cottages. The site is on Richmond Hill, and it commands a fine view of the lower bay. A great part of the property is wooded, and the clearipg away process has begun. The object of the school, as stated in its constitution, is “the investigation and study of psychic pheno- mena aod the relation of such phenomena andtheir underlying principles to daily life.” The eociety proposes to begin in July to hold meetings every Sunday morn« ing and afternoon in its place of- worsbip, in which will also be given lectures aud psychic demonstraticns.

—Mark Twain has come to the conciu- sion that the books he Las written will not live, and he has declared bis intention of writing a work in an entirely new atyle for the benefit of posterity. It will not be published for a bundred years, so tbat there will be no danger of the authors Opinions being warped by fear of the re~ viewers, or hope of personal profit. Iu it he propores to give his sincere and unre served opinicn of the people he has met, not concealing their liule weaknesses or the errors of their private lives. The Mootreal Gazeit2 remarks that it wouldb e of so muchjmcre interest pow than a but- dred years hence that the ris« of prema. (ure publication would be great. One would be more interested in the proposal if {one were quite sure that the veteran humorist had left off joking. It is a bard habit to get rid of.

Kingston Times: The parliamentarians at Ottawa can hardly be regarded as an overworked lot. At the approach of every national and church holiday they adjourn, go home and remain away for several! days. They thus kil] time, unnecesearily prolong the session, and waste the public money.

Montreal Gazette: A tunnel between England and ireland, the idea of which is vow being promoted, would be a stu- pendons engineering work, and might have important political as weil as commercial effects. It would hardly be as useful, though,as a tunnel to France. Like the proposed tunnel from the .Canadian main- land toP. E. Island, also, it is open to question if its traffic powers would enable it to earn enough to pay the cost of main-~ tenance and interest on the construuction expenses. It is very likely to remain for along time an engineering dream like some echemes Canadians are familiar with.
