During the year past few subjects 1

of Canadian administration have re- ` ceived more attention in the news- ipers lli-in the royalties cwllecletl "ly the government on the gold mined in the Yukon country. The adminis- tration proceeded on the principles

D liiiii iii which lie gays, but without argument or evi- dence in support cf his statement, that our retereiice to the meeting of the D.iirymen’s Association was "mis- leading" We are quite willing for Lil-.me ali.) were Pmseui :md ll" Im " lic generally to be the judges in that matter. There it might rest so far as this journal is concerned, were il? not for some remarks in the Examiner of yesterday.

Our esteemed contempcrary speaks

of “Tris GL'.iRD1.».N and The Patriot, supporting the government.” This phrase is entirely misleading as far as this journal is concerned. THE Gusunisx is in no proper sense of the word ai supporter or an opponent Of the government led by Hon. Mr. Farquharson. It is entirely inde- pgygrlent nf the atiministration and quite '-is free as is the Examiner, to condemn any adininistrative act whicha sound judgment eaunot ap- prove. On the other hand we are not bound, as our opposition contem- porary appears to be, to always place the action of the Premier, or the gov- ernment. in the worst possible light. Somuch premised, we come to the matter immediately in question,- `Mr. Farquharson’s interruption of Mr. Dillon. The Examiner claims “that the chair- man or presiding oficer is the proper person through whom the conduct of the speakers and the character of their speeches are regulated.” With this we entirely agree, but this in no way conflicts with Mr. Farquha.rson’s right and duty to call the ch »irman’s atten- tion. as he did, to what he conceived to be an irregularity. This is done almost every day in our parliament or legislature when they are in session. It was open to Mr. Dillon to have taken exception and to have called for the ch-airman’s ruling upon the point raised by Mr. Farquharson. This he did not do, and by the omis- sion todo so tacitly admitted that the Premier’s point was well taken.

The Examiner raises the further

point that the five minute limit did not a.pp‘y to Mr. Dillon because he spoke before and not after Prof. R;»bertson,and the five minute rule was only to take effect after Prof. Robertson,had concluded. Most per- sons will think that to take up the time of the meeting needlessly, or at too g__rea.t length, before the principal .speaker of the evening had been heard -would be quite as objectionable as at

.a later stage. The Examiner says

.that if the Premiers motive was merely to forward the business of the .meeting he took the wrong way to accomplishit. This may be a matter of opinion, but we think he took the .right way. In what other way ac-

.eording to parliamentary usage could

,the object have been eHected ‘I

'su-in-_---W--1-In

There has been so much discussion

about t-he mails of late, that we feel sure our readers will be interested in the statement on our first page to-day, giving particulars of the ice-boat service during six years past. It has been carefully prepared from official sources by Mr. Horace Hasz- grd, and affords good material from which to judge of the comparative efficiency of this service in different years. GU.iRD1.iN readers will feel under obligation to Mr Haszard for the valuable information therein sup- plied.

' the world. i- really the -pi~opei-t_y of I the people. oi Canad i., and that a irevenue ought to be derived from it lsutficient to pay a large pairt of the lcost of administering and providirg iacccss to the new territory. This icost has been necessarily large, be- ; c .use of the distance, the extreme Icold, the absence of lines of communi- 1 cation, the sudden in-rush of a large ,and mixed population, and the sud- * den need of a police and mail service , that could only be provided at great expense. i It is to be observed also that the . larger half of the miners, prospectors and speculators who have gone into the Canadian Yukon country to win the golden harvest are not Canadians, or British subjects. Ought the Canadian people at large to pay all f the cost of the expensive administra- . tive service required, merely in order its afford facilities and protection to laliens and foreigners to come in and lcarry olf Canadian gold I Of course ithe alien miners have complained against the Canadian royalty of ten , per cent on the gold they mined and lthey found a plenty of Canadian newspapers willing to aid them in de- ` nouncing the “outrage” But a little- rellection must satisfy any disinterest ,ed and patriotic Canadian that the p royalty system is in itself eminently ijust and proper. The only question Q that can fairly be raised is as to the rate, is 10 per cent too much for the government to ask 'l 1 Some light is thrown upon this ,question by the prospects of The Mc- yl Donald Bonanza Co. as printed in the ‘London Times of Feb. 16. Mr. Mc- , Donald, who is a. Klondikelmillionaire, states, that during the year 1897 and 1898 there was taken from his claims non Bonanza, Eldorado and Hunker. lcreeks, 39,269 tons of gravel, which yielded £454,299, ($2,207,893), Two ,London mining experts sent out to "E report are agreed that the cost of . working and recovering the dust does ,not exceed 10 per cent.. of the value " of the gold. So that, after dedlict- y ing the government royalty, McDon- ald has netted but$l,766,3l5.

Doubtless this case is an excep-

tional one, but those who fail to find gold, or who find it in limited quanti- I ties pay no royalty. It is really those who strike it' richest who complain the most, and they can hardly be con- ‘sidered proper subjects for commiser- ation.

WHAT ARE THE NET PROFITS? l

Sm,-In your Weekly of March-

second, I notice a statement by Patron of the. business done in the Crapaud Creamery in the years 1894 'and 1898. which shows a very creditable increase in the business done. Patron winds up by telling us that ten of the patrons sent 487,000 lbs of this milk, and he would like to know if there are ten patrons of any other factory on the Is1and,, that have done better. I am not prepared to answer that question, but in order that 'we may get some useful , information as to the ~ best system of farming. for prolils, I would ask Pat- ron to give' a statement of the amount of capital-I these ten farmers have in- vested in farming, with a full detail of all the expenses (not forgetting any extra feed they may have had to buy) and include all these other prolits from the farm, with their 487,000 ‘lbs. of milk, and tell us what amount of profit they have on their capital, or in other wordS,te1l us what They have netted from the year 1894 to 1899. And then let him ask any other ten farmers on the Island to compare notes. That may lead to 'a discussion that may be of some benefit to farmers in general. »
