Prince County will, if no: atthe preseut time certainly at au carly day, lose the position held ty the Hon. Angus McMillan, as it is the intention of the new governmentto put into effect the law to abolish the Laod Office, and to give the Premier a salary as Minister of Agriculture. Hewever the result of the caucus is uncertain. Indeed it may be fairly placed ia the same category asa horse race.

THE HUDSON BAY ROUTE.

Jcporxe by the reports of members of the Hudeon Bay Expedition of this year, there is no good certain prospect that the Hudson Bay route will ‘be utilized as meaus of communication between the Northwest of Canada and Great Britain. It is stated that the steamer, one of the strongest in the sealing fleet ot Newfound- land, only escaped being crushed by the ice by being lifted bodily to the surface and that this occurred on the first and fourth of July! The exploring pariies accompanying the expedition were, we Jeara, unable to discover in the vicinity of Hudson Bay anything of value as an article of commerce. There are some fish in the bay aid some deer on the land surrounding i. But there are, apparectly, no valuable minerals, timber or anything that can be utilized by civilized people. The report of ‘he officers in charge of the expedition will probably be decisive as to the folly of expending millions of money (which must be borrowed) upon the construction of always and steamers to convey the pro-

duce and people of the Northwest to the Mother Country by way of Hudson Bay.

SOME WILL BE DISAPPOINTED.

Tuz members of the Federal Govern- ment are making promises right and left, and every conceivable scheme for which aid is sought is promised the desired assistance. It is clear, however, that some ot the aid promised will not be forth. coming, and that the party of broken promises and deception i bound to sustain its reputation. Montreal,as is pointed out by the Gazette, has received at least an implied piedge that its three million har- bor improvement scheme wil] be favorably Booked on when money is to be distributed, Sir Wilfrid Laurier’s reported words at Quebec plainly indicate that he will, if he can, secure by means of public aid, the construction of the bridge that has been so At St. John, W.B; Mr. Blair spoke of spending six or seven hundred thousand dollars on ime provements to fit the harbor for the winter traffic of the Dominion. Ottawa people say they heve a promise of public aid for the Ottawa and Georgian Bay waterway of problematic usefulness. Goderich» Port Stanley and other places of minor importance baye pledges of expenditure ov their harbors. In fact, adds the Gazette, there is hardly @ place and certainly not a province, that bas not preferred some claim, the granting of which means

PO Oe NOTES AND COMMENTS.

—The Montreal Herald remarks thet “the Gleaner is gleaning, an! the Witness witnessing in the interest of the Conservative party these days.” It should be added, interjects the Gazette, that this is the result of contemplation of fifteen months’ work of the Laurier-Tarte Gov- ernment. In the days when the Liberal party was in Opposition, both papers were energetic and etiective critics of the Con-

servative party, and supporters of the Liberal party programme, —The Ottawa Free Press claims that

the Toronto reception of Sir Wilfred Laurier was « knockout blow to the Tories. The Free Press made much the same kind of claim in regard to the Montreal demonstra- tion in honor of the Premier. Before both events local Liberal papers and workers strongly urged that the welcomes should be non-partizan, aod asked Conservatives to take part in them,which many Con- servatives did. A few more of such cases and tbe Liberals will probably be allowed to run their own non-political demonstra- tions.

—Montreal Gazette : The financial statement for the first quarter of the fixcal year shows the receipts to have been $8,- 314,747 or about half a million less than in the correspondi.g three months of 1896 -97, when they were $8,846,208. The ex- penditure for the period, on the other hand, amounted to $5,477,672, or $800 000 more thao last year, when it was $4,662.- 350. Gathering less and spending more than they did in their first year of power, it is not difficult to judge what the out- come of the Liberal ministers’ second year will be. The firat showed a deficit and an increase of debt.

—The Halifex Herald points out that the Tarte-Grenier libel trial was con- ducted under such conditionsand procedure that if the defendant had made, Bay, one hundred charges, and had succeeded in proving the truth of ninety-nine of them, yet if he failed to prove the truth of the one hundredth charge also, he would be copvicted. A verdict for the prosecutor under such circumstances of course would not show that he was not guilty of at least nine-tenths of what was chargad against him. So it was in Tare’s case. The evidence was overwhelmingly against him from every moral point of view; and the most astonishing revelation was Tarte’s own confession of extracting money from contractors and others, and yet professing inability to see anything wrong in it. If tbat profession is to be accepted as correct, then Mr. Tarte is simply a moral lunatic, and fit for no position of trust.
