"But some sphere of usefulness," says the Globe, "should be found in which the judicial position of the se- nate could be utilized. It now deals with divorce bills, snd as such mat- ters have no conmection with party questions, its attitude is judicial as! well as its funcrions. While the substi- tution of the senate for a court of law in dealing with divorce , may not be regarded as a success, it suggests a sphere of usefulness for the senate that should be considered by con structive statesmen, It may be found possible to transfer to the senate some business now taking nu) the tine of the commons, without in the east relaxing popular control over the course of legislation." The senate has to adjourn occasion- ally because it has nothing to do. That contingency ought to be got over somehow. The senators should be given more work when they are willing to do it in their own way aod time. A ----_---------- 4 WRITING ON THE WALL. The Whitney banquet -- the monstration which was caloulated to show how popular the leader of the opposition is--is declared by the con Jervatite press to have heen a great success. .

In the memorable debate upon the membership of the senate committees Sir Mackenzie Bowell made the sur prising announcement that never, at least since he had entered the upper chamber, had the guestion of politics influenced him in his appointments. And yet in twenty-eight years a liber- al bad not been a chairman of a standing committee in the senate. He got on the committees because he could not be very well ignored, but he had not a place of honor. Now all tees have liberal chairmen and the house is so evenly balanced political- ly that there cannot be any more ob- struction for its own sake. The thought comes up that now would be a good time in which to ask for a change in the Act of Confedera tion, so that the senate can never again become the registering machine | of any political party. The original intention was, according to the re sorded sentiment of the late Sir Jol political §:i. sk that is changed. The senate commit- | movements to and some one, Mr. Maclean marked, who will start the people cheering. Mr. Whitney holds his place simply because there is no one else in sight, who is willing to accept it< re sponsibilities, or who is wanted by the as workers, gnd a man can stand only a limited amount of adulation, under these conditions, without ment. The Star pictures the banquet sort of revival of Belshazzar"s feast, but embarrass: as a There was revelry by night, the midst of it there was a scene. Mr. Whitney had declared that Mr. Ross had got himsell into a stew and he could stay in it, that the opposition would not keep him out. In other words the conservative party would avoid the agitation, and on the walls appeared the awiul enquiry written in big letters and by an invigible hand, "What are you going to do about prohibition ?" It is an issue which Mr. Whitney cannot dodge. He must speak upon it, and he must voto up: on it, and by both he will be judged. in EDITORIAL NOTES. Mr. Whitney is going to be neutral on the prohibition question, if he can. He wants to stand in with all parties on this question.

Montreal, Feb. 2.---In the past few months the shares of the Dominion coal company have risen $6,900,000 in value, making one of the most spec- tacular advances in the history of the stock exchange. Many fortunes have been made, of course, one of the lucky men being Alphonse Turcotte, of this city, and director of the bank of 'Hochelaga. In November last Mr Turcotte bought. 2.000 shares of Dom: inion coal common at forty, paid for them and laid them away. The other day he sold out at a clean profit of 46,000. It is stated on the "street" that James Ross and penator Cox, Toronto, by reason of their large holdings are the biggest winners, but the other directors must also find themselves a good deal richer than they were six months ago.

Soldier's Bones For Sale. London, Feb. 24.--An unpleasant sensation was caused in the house of commons on Friday by the statement that the bones of British soldiers kill- od in the Aighan war of 1842 were announced to be sold by auetion in London. . Mr. Ritchie, whose attention was drawn to the matter by Mr.. Norman, said that assuming the relics were genuine--a large. assumption--no breach of the law would he committea by their sale. He had no power to interfere. Such a sale, however, he' conwidered Wighly improper, if not indecent, and he would take care that his view of the matter reached the auctioneer. Mexican Railroad Plans. New York, Feb, 24.--Railroad cir- clos are deoply intevested in the trip of E. H. Harriman, who left to-day for the city of Mexico. The coinei- dence. of Harriman's Mexican trip at this time, when Paul Morton, of the Atchison, is there, gives rise to the belief that the transcontinental rail roads, especially those in the sonth west, are looking out for Mexican connections. The Mexican Central, irom J.1 Paso to the citv of Mexico. is reported for sale, and it is expected that Mr. Harriman will personally look over the railroad situption in that tesritory.
