TAKING ova1i,'ri-in nnaucnas.
\_..._..
Hon. Mr. Einmerson's argument in
Parliament in favor of the Govern-
ment taking over the brunch _lines
in connection with the Intercoloniul
is u strong and well-reasoned pre-
sentation of the case. The tabular
statement introduced in his speech
shows that there are four of these
brunch lines in Quebec, makin: six
hundred and eighty-one miles; thir-
teen branches in New Brunswick with
a total length of four hundred and
Bfty-six miles and ten branches in
Nova Scotia of seven hundred and
fifty-three miles. These making a
grand total of some one thousand
eight hundred and ninety miles, or
considerably more than the length of
the lntercolonial itself, so thut if
the branch liiies were acquired the
mileage of the Government Railway
system would be more than doubled.
Most of these' branch lines have
been aided by Dominion, provincial
and municipal subsidies. The total
oi Dominion subsidies paid them was
six million seven hundred and fifty-
two thousand eight hundred and
forty-four dollars, and with the pro-
vincial and municipal subsidies add-
ed makes a total of over twelve
million dollars. The taking over oi
these lines is presented as ii business
proposition. It has been the policy
of the great trunk systems in Can-
ada, the Grand Trunk,Canadinn Paci-
fic and Canadian Northern, to nc-
quire by lease or purchase as many
of the branch lines connecting with
their systems as they could, und they
operate these lines together with
their niuin lines ns one system.
It would appear that what is good
for one of thc great company sys-
tems ought to he good for thc Inter.
colonial in the same way and some
years ugo the taking over was begun
by the Intercoloniul acquiring
thc company line from Cha-
tham . to Fredericton, u line
one hundred rind ten miles in length,
An entire system can be operated
tercolonial to the great lakee. and
ultimately to prairie country, also
advocated by Mr. Emmerson, would
‘settle once and forever any question
lof selling out the Intercoloniul to a
gcompnny. We bel@ve the people of
the Maritime Provinces very general-
ly favor the retention of Govern.
lment control and management oi the
existing system, as a check upon the
big company systems, and no doubt
,they also would view with an open
,mind the acquisition of the branch
roads. '
AERIAL FLIGHT.
Balloons are more than a hundred
years old. So are kites. The princi-
ples by which they ascend and re-
main in air are well known to al-
most everybody. Comparatively re-
cent improvements are to supply mo-
tive power to balloons to drive them
from place to plnce and steering
gear to make them dirigihle or direct-
uble. But there is a wide difference
between the dirigible balloon, _ the
kite and the aeroplane or flying ma-
chine proper. The balloon must have
its gas-bag; the kite must have its
string, but the aeroplane supports
itself on und in the air like a bird,
unconnected with support from above
or with the earth below. _ .

exhibitions. the nights achieved by
tbe aeroplane have been compara-
tively lbort. The best on record
took place not! very long ago in
France when Henry Farnham public-
ly won a prlle of $10,000 for success-
ful night. The conditions required
were that he should ily half a kilo-
meter, (one third ofa mile) then
turn a goal and return to the start-
lns' Point without touching ground.
He did this successfully,covering in his
oval course full three quarters of a
mile, and has since made a circular
night three times as long, or, con-
siderably over two miles. A bird
that couldsonr in the air as far _ae
that would surely be credited with
the power of flight. .
Farnham’s /aeroplane is driven by
a propeller like that of is steamshlp,
except that the blades are long and
broad, and these are set in motion
by a light. but powerful engine. It
resembles neither the balloon, the
kite nor the bird in appearance. Its
motion is described by an observer
as a flight through the air in long
rising and falling curves, as the mo-
tor varies its power, and graceful be-
yoil~d‘ri1e§s'iTreT*It'is-the_c°oT1'quest of
the 'air.\Once man can thus fly half
a mile, or two miles we may rest as-
lsured he will yet Dy n hundred miles,
perhaps a thousand without allghting
and it may even be that in the time
ol men now living the Atlantic will
be crossed by some adventurer thus
"upborne by indefatigable wings" a-
`bove its vast expense. So the pow-
:re of man increase and the world
moves on.
ATTORNEY GENERAL PALMER.
The appointment of Mr. Palmer K.
with general favor within the Libe-
ral party and with fair-minded men
outside. He has unrloubted legal at-
Lalnmenfs-nhd-hKgh_;haracter irad-
dition to a good measure of personal
popularity. Although not nt pres-
ent holding a sent in the Legisla-
ture a sent will no doubt be found
either at a by-election or at the
zeneral election which is near at
Hand. Party policy might have in-
dicated the propriety of an immedi-
ate appeal to the people before the
meeting of the Legislature and so
have found a seat for the new min-
ister and disposed of some existing
vacancies in the representation.
Such a course. could have been
fairly justiiied*in view of the forma-
tion of a new Administration which
dillers materially from that which it
succeeds. We ure not informed
whether or not further changes are
to be made in its personnel. But an
inppeal to the people might have
been objected to by the Opposition
on the ground that there should be a
full accounting made as to financi-
al conditions before appealing to
the electorate. Premier Haszard has
,taken the holder course. whether
from the purely party stand-point it
be the wiser one or not and the
,political courage exhibited is li. qual-
ity that will appeal with some force
to the country. How the accounting
will turn out remains to be seen. In
the meantime The Guardian extends
congratulations to Attorney Gene-
ral Palmer on attaining deserved
promotion. -

]oe Mai tin who hasisuccessively figured

position in each of the two latter Prov-
inces, only to be reduced lo the ranks
again, is now trying lo float again on the
anti Asiatic cry.
If ilie Salvation Army succeeds in
placinggthousunil settlers in the Mari-
time Province lliis spring, it will have
the Dominion iniiiiigrniimi nnllioriiies
easily beaten. Caimrla is spending $800,
ooo a year on iiiituigraiioii and so far
with but the nierest fraction' of benefit
to the eastern portion of the Dominion.
Manitoba which six or seven years
ago had a prohibitory liquor law
and repealed it is now stiflening up
its license law in several ways. The
Government bill now before the Leg-
islature provides for the repeal of
the clause requiring a three fifths
vote to enable n municipality to re-
fuse licenses. Herealter, if the new
law passes, a majority vote will
govern. Provision is also made that
in case of those frequently convicted
of drunkenness the convlcting mag-
istrate may in his discretion sen-
tence the oilender to a full year's im-
prlsonment or less.
