THE GUARANTEE BUSINESS. The position of the Hamilton Herald on the guarantee companies is a real ly sound ene. + These companies go in to the assurance business upon ita They agree, for a certain consideration, to become the surety of the individuals in their dealings with the employers, They make such en; quiries, confidentially, about the per sons so assured as scem to satisfy them, and they can take the risks. Thus, for a certain premium per an- num, they agree to see that the em: ployers perforin their duties faithful ly, and, above all, that they give a correct accounting of all the moneys that pass through their hands. I every one were exact and careful and honest there would be no need of the but because one merits, guarantee company, here and there fails in his service the company has a reason for its exist: ence and a reason to pay out some of the money it collects. There is a law of average which is exceedingly instructive. It indicates that in a certain total of experience there in a percentage which is peculiar, and this percentage in the guarantee business represents the lapses from grace, the defaults and the defects. The guarantee company wisely makes allowance for them all, and it usual- ly meets the losses promptly. It ex- pects them, and without them all ex- perience would be discounted. Should the defanlter be prosecuted, then ? Assuredly. No man should have his dishonesty condoned, but he only should be troubled His friends were not by the company. assured by the company, and they should he spared the effect of any proceedings which carry with them a great moral lesson. EXPANSION OF 'RAILWAYS. The rumour now is that the Ameri can syndicate which Dr. Webb repres- ents seeks the purchase of the Great Northern milway, and that it, in connection with the Canada Atlantic railway, will give increased import ance to the Parry Sound route. It moans that the Americans the advantage of - transportation equipment which will facilitate the removal of Canada's immense grain crops from the North-West to the sea- board. Last year's yield of wheat, was about 40,000,000 bushels, and the railways, according to the com- plaint which the western men made in parliament, were unequal to the task of moving it along as its purchasers desired. The future is ominous of in creased difficulty unless the car service be most wonderfully developed. The Webb party seems to see the opportu- nity for a business foothold that will become firmer as time goes on. The Canada Atlantic has been a' great competitor for the grain trade in the past. It will become a still greater competitor, and will probably under- take, in the natural order of events, a Canadian alliance that will give it a control of trade from the North: West to the seaboard. The Canadian Pacific is waking up to the necessity ol expansion, also, and has the power to issue millions of new stock, and with the money improve all the conveniences which it poseesses for the divectiop of trade. The Webb syndicate has been suspiciously defended by some people, It cannot do harm so long as its tendencies are not mono- polistie. It ean do good if it puts new life into the railway business, and makes it equal to the demands of the country. are seeing STARVING THE POOR, The New York Commissioner of Charities has asked for about $300, 0 increase over the sum allowed to his department by the Van Wyck board to make good what he termed the deplorable conditions of the chari- table institutions and to provide ade quate supplies : "There has been pot only a scarcity of food," he said, "but alvo of clothing, amd new beds and bedding aie wanted, Last year the inmates had only cofiee and bread lor breakioht, stew for dinner, and tey and bread for supper. They had neither sugar nor butter at breakiast or supper, nor had they had any vegetables with their dinner." "Do you mean to say that these pour people practically lived on coffee or tea and bread ? asked Maver Low. | "Yes," replied Commissioner Folks, on they will not add to the vitality of the body any more than some siftings of coal will add 10 the heat which is necessary to generate steam. The ing, however, that in Brooklyn the They get meat and vegetables, and butter end sugar, and accasionally they realize that the christian spirit is very much alive, that in the chari- tably disposed it suggests 5 dinner which evokes a real. thanksgiving. And this is only what it should be. The government gives aid 1o the charities according i number and residence of their intites. That aid should be dependent, also, upon the provision of a certain stipulated fare, GETTING AT THE FACTS, The papers which undertake an edu- cation of the people, politically, should be careful to state the facts, and the eonservative press has begun the local campaign in rather a reck- less way, For instance a local print has al- leged : "Bix great concessions have been carved out by the Ontario gov- ernment in the last three or four years and conveyed to private par ties, and not one of these is yielding a ton of pulp or a pound of paper to-day. And not a single cent of re- venue is being derived from them." The facts are that concessions do not convey to the companies gifts of any kind. The land belongs to the people, and can be sold or settled as hereto fore. The timber belongs to the people and can be sold or used as before, excepting the spruce on every bit of which the cutter now pays the govern ment 40c, per cord. In unsettled re- gions this is all it is worth, and without the pioneer service of the syndicates referred to it is not worth anything. In the six cases referred to there has to be a capital investment, according to agreement, of $4,350 000 and an employment of men to the number of 1,800. Large expenditures have been made and it is calculated that in a few years instead of four million odd dollars there will be many millions put info the pulp business and thousands of men will be employ- ed. A : Note this Clergue and con: cessions were unopposed by the con servatives in the house. They did not see anything wrong with them. There was some objection to the Spanish River concession, but Mr. Marter had occasion to remind his party that it was therein both unreasonable and inconsistent, and "he thought the house would be ériminally negligent of its duties if it did not allow the great development - to take place." The province, said he, has the timber, further fact: That the Sturgeon Falls but it is of no value unless it is used. The government must go into the business to get the value from it, or give other persons concessions so. "Honorable gentlemen had argued that the Spanish River concession was a gold mine," Mr. Marter added; "if they believed that he would like to know how many of them had invest ed in the stock which was so widely a short time ago," and loud laughter to do advertised that solely produced and no reply. The Toronto News, too, a conserva tive paper of prominence, endorses the stand taken by Mr. Marter upon these soncessions. It is the only common sense stand. It is the one which even Mr. Whitney in his heart approves, if he be at all sincere in his desire to soe New Ontario opened up. EDITORIAL NOTES. The London Advertiser has it that eight seats were lost to the liberals in the last local election by reason of too many aspirants for parliament. That experience will not be repeated. The Whitney party will fight it out man for man, and suffer the usual de- feat. Gen. Miles has succeeded in holding up the U. 8S. government in its de sire for army reform. The idea was to dismiss the general for his intedfer- ence, that it is given out that if he is disciplined the bill will be heaton. Sec- retary Root is up aganst the biggest kind of 4 difficulty. A Hamilton coal contractor, upon whom the county judge seriously re flected during a recent enquiry, is not to be prosecuted. A local election is on, anl everything goes for political effects. On dit that Sir Oliver Mowat will be given gu second term as lientesant governor of Ontario. He has adoin- ed this office, as he' has gdorned every "public office he has oceupied. m------ Hon.

What the Dominion Department of Agriculture Does For the Farmer And the Exporter-- Attractive Source of Invest- ment, Chica ro Tribune. While primarily we do not live to eat, we must eat to live; and a coun- try gains its highest dignity in pro- duction where it can not only feed its own population, but export all its swpdus produce at reasonably re- munerative prices to feed other na: tions, This is the justifiably proud position of Canada to-day: Less than a decade ago, the province of Nova Scotia paid annually $100,000 to On- tario, for butter and cheese; to-day Nova Scotia does not-import any cheese, and only a small quantity of butter during the winter when the dairies are not working up to their full capacity. The dairymen of the maritime provinces are not only sup- plying their own markets, but are taking a share in the great foreign markets, as Ontario and Quebec have long been doing. The latest report of the minister of agriculture of the do- minion, demonstrates that during the past six years Cdnada, has exported >332,086,319 worth of such farm pro- duce as wheat, flour, oats, oatmeal, peas, cattle, cheese, butter, pork, ba- con, hams and eggs. We give the va- lue of each product in 1896 and 190]. 1806, 1901, Wheat ... .. .. : $6 871 Flour .. ..'.. 718 433 015 3 Oats. . . i 2 490 Oatmeal § 467 Peas...

Too much emphasis cannot be laid upon' the necessity for owners of crea meries to provide cold storage ae- comodation at them, to protect the butter in cold storage from day alter it is made; and the minister of agri culture has induced the government to grant a bonus of 830 per creamery for every creamery at which the owner will provide and keep in use a refri gerator room according to plans and regulations which will be forwarded on application to his department, This system of bonusing commenced in 1897, has heen taken advantage of by the owners of about 500 creamer ies; and, to the owners or lessees of creameries who have not hitherto on tained the bonus of $3), the govern ment will grant a bonus of that am- ount per creamery, if and when its owner provides angl keeps in use are frigerator room, according to the plans and regulations during the cur: rent year, and further bonuses of $25 each for 1903, and 1904, if and when the refrigerator room has been kept in_use according to the regula- tions during these two seasons. Thus the owner of a creamery who provides the necessary refrigerator room and und keeps it in use during the three years may receive altogether a bonus of $100, The cold storage system devised and directed by the dominion depart ment of agriculture has done much to expand - Canadian commerce in food products. It has taken into account the various interests of the produc ers, the collecting buyers, the carriers or transportation companies, the dis tributing merchants, and the consum ers. By preventing losses by deteriora tion in quality, it has increased the profits of the dealers and augmented the wealth of the country. The dom inion government led the way to all this; cold storage in every phase has been tried and found effective; but as at first the volume of trade might not have heen sufficient to induce business men to put up cold storage warehouses for the accommodation of products intended for export, a grant was offered to those who would pro vide cold storage buildings at ventral points such grant being in the nature of guarantee that the earnings from the cold storage business at these points would yield at least five per cent. on the cost of buildings and plant. Obviously, the rates to be charged were to be satisfactory to the department of agriculture, and the grants from the government were not to be called upon except to make up any deficiency between the net earn ings and the sum of five per cent. on the cost as mentioned. Advantage was taken of this offer at Quebec only. That capital put into eold stor age warchouses will prove a sound re munerative financial investment. is not now open to doubt, for this svs tem has passed far beyond the expéri- mental stage, and without the realm of probable failure. In Great Britain, private enterprise has Bot been want- ng in providing cold storage ware houses for at least the Jast ten years, and substantial dividends have been declurnd upon working resnits. Here in Canada with the greater need and the lesser working cost such ware houses ought to form an atiractive source for capital investment. / THE DAILY: WHiG, TUESDAY, AFRIL 1 MAN STILL ALIVE. {He Is Charged With Taking $10,- 000 Bribe Money. Butte, Mont, April 1L.--A sensation has been caused by the declaration in court of attorneys aod a former as- sociate and business partner of John C. Panlscn, former state architeet, that the latter had aot coruwitted suicide five years ago us reporied and generally believed but that he is still alive and probably residing with hs family in Germany. Paulsen was charged with having collected nearly $10,000 in bribe money from contractors, who built state edu- cational buildings nd subsequently promised to make restitution, He went 10 his home in Helena for the alleged purpose of procurin the money, but the following day was reported dead, the statement being made that he bad committed suicide. The body was at once placed in a vault. There was no inquest and friends were not permitted to see the re mains. A few days later the widow departed for Germany, taking with her to New York, the coffin that was supposed to contain the remains of her husband. An insurance company paid a policy for $6,000 of life insur- ance carried hy the architeet. The statement that Paulsen «till lives was made during the trial of a case growing out \of the alleged build: ing frauds. PERSONAL MENTION, Eovements Of The People -- What They Are Sa And Doing. Mise F. M. Thutston and Miss Flos- sie Reid left Friday for New York, on a visit to Mrs. A. D. Reid. Robert Gaskin left this morning for Buffalo, N.Y., to take an appointment on the Davideon line of steamers.

Denbigh, March 20.--A very pleasant event took place on the 26th inst. at the residence of John MeCoy, Snake Creek Settlement, it being the marri age of his daughter Milly to Thomas Bruce, of the township of Mayo, Rev. C. W. Barrett officiated. Charles Stein, sr, laid up again with a seriously sprained ankle, is able to move about again. Edward Fritsch, ill for a long time, has lately been rather worse than usual. Edward Petegold, suffering from a cancer in his stomach, has lately also been worse again. The members of Theo dore Thompson's family, including himself, who were down with diph- theria, are all improving satisfactori ly. The case was so serious that two men ahd to be engaged as nurs es. The disease has so far been con fined to the house and family in which in broke out. An item was first pub lished in the Toronto Globe, and copied hy many local papers, that a death from small-pox had occurred in the township of Denbigh, and «that four more members of the same family has the disease. This was a grave and regrettable error, as there has never been a case of small-pox in this muni cipality since it was first incorporat ed in 1866. The secretary of the local board of health had reported to Dr P. H. Bryce, Toronto, the breaking out of the cases of diphtheria above referred to. The publication of this happily false report has already caus ed considerable annoyance. Boilermakers' Happy Assembly. The boiler makers and iron «hip builders of the city conducted their third annual assembly in the city hall last evening. The attendance was large and the old hall echoed to the peal of merry laughter, happy voices, tripping feet and dreamy music. It was 5 pleasant event, into the spirit of which everyone ontered with heartiness. Thornton & Cros by's orchestra supplied good music for the occasion At midnight an od journment was made to the Grand Union hotel, where choice refreshments were partaken of. Dancing was after wards resumed, and kept up till an earlv hour. The committee in charge of the event included R. Carswell, sr., president; A. Serutton, P. Keenan, R Carswell, jr. D. Fitzgerald, W. J. V1opry, Joseph Hipson and J P Smith, secretary. They worked hard to ensure the success of the even ns's eniovment, and they succeeded ad mirably. Call It A Circus.

ROYAL FAMILY ON A PICNIC. King Of Italy Spending Easter On Island Of Monte Cristo. Rome, April 1.--For the first time since Rome has been the capital of Italy the king i» spending Easter away from the eternal city, and the fact is causing much comment. The king and queen and the little princess Polanda, dowager queen Marguerita, the king's mother, the duke of Abruz zi and the count of Turin, are all spending the holiday season in the tiny island of Monte Cristo There are probably no iohabitants on the island, but rather elaborats precautions are taken to ensure the safety of the roval picnickers.
