Canada's Finance Minister, lion, W. S. Fielding, is floatîng a new Canadian boan lu London, England, te meet obli- gations, largely the resuit ef thc late Conservatîve Government's operafiens, and twicc as mnch money as he requires has been subscribed althioug the rate oTntcrest is less than 2ý per cent. Trhe cry at last clection that the Liberal pol- icy would muin Canada's credit because of its opposition te the N. P. bas been proven as bollow as a November wind. Liven the Toronto Worid, the stauncbcst protcctionist organ lu Canada, says " We find ourselves possessing sncb ad mirable credif in Great Britain that wc can borrow monev at about a hait per cent less than we ever could before, and suggcsts that the Goecrment devise 50u15 schemîe whereby 3 per cent money can bc obtaincd for farmers' use in im- p roving their farms and conditions. Up te a certain limit mone y can bc lan- ed on farm lands in Canada with ab- solute security. Many farmers are payinz 5, 6 and 7 per cent on proerty THE SENÀTE VICA-NCY.

Sir Oliver Mowat 'was appointed to fill a sea-ýt from Central Ontario, and it is a proper time now to restore it. Mr. Kerr is a, distinguished mani of ability in iaw,pol- itics and university affairsin ail of which he bas risen to-anri--impairtant position. 11e is an astute,skiiful and able platform speaker as well as an effective debater. THE STATE SMAN has known Mr. Kerr for about twenty five years and can voucli that bis party dlaims are very strong, as during this period he has donc valuable and arduons work in Cen- tral Ontario. Hec bas contested West Northumberland five times for, the Do- minion- buse, twice successfully by large majorities,and tbree times unsuc- cussfully by narrow majorities. His appointment would greatlv strengtben tbe Liberais in the Senate and be most popular with both sides of politics. We feel assured that no other name 110w mentioned from Eastern Ontario would be received with the same degree. of favor and approval. LETTER PROM YUJKON.
