PROPRIETOR I'HE DAILY WHIG. Opiter per Orbem Dicor.' MONTREAL'S SALE OF BONDS. Montreal has had a sale of deben tures and is dissatisfied with the re sults. For its two million loan there was only one tenderer, and he went inet one-twentieth beyond the limit which the council fixed, namely, "Everybody," says the Herald, "whe has followed the history of Montreal loans will be convinced from the out- set that in a very short time after the city accepts the offer the deben- tures will be on sale at prices fairly representing their value as a gilt-edge security. It ldoks very much as though the financiers had made up their minds that it is neither desir- able nor necessary to pay to Mont- real the real value of its debentures. It might be worth while to wait and see whether means cannot be devised to alter this condition. Montreal wealthy enough to be just as inde pendent as the people with whom she has to do business." The debentures referred to are 34 per cents., and they could not be sol | at par. Why ? Because money is worth more than 3} per cent. The commer cial enterprises of the day are de manding capital, and for it a better rate is fixed than the municipal bentures call for. The current rate on is de municipal debentures is 37 per cent the price--and so Montres! has done well to get 98 for its bonds mistake is to offer $2, at selling Montreal's 000,000 in bonds to the people one time. Only a wealthy man, cor voration or syndicate can buy them, and at the rate which will guargntee a margin of profit. If the issue divided, and if the small mo holders could buy the bonds as pe sonal security or investment, the in terest in the sale would be very much increased, and to the advant age of the city. The English people are regarded as very slow, but they have a way of their own for issuing municipal loans, and it is worth con sidering. A MUCH-NEEDED LESSON. J. D. Whelpley, in the June number of the North American Review, points out that America has control of Eng land's food supply. It has been fig- ared that the United States furnishes 27 per cent. of the total value of the meat and other animal products im ported into the united kingdom, but the percentage of cattle and sheep, alive, beef, fresh ahd cureq, bacon, ham, lard and pork, runs from 28 to 85 ana 90 per cent. With the exception of mutton, says Mr. Whelpley, all of the items in which the United States has a small wreentage of the trade could be ais wneed with--the milk, eggs, butter, cheese; -and-oleomargarine--in England without actually starving the people into submission, but the items which we furnished by the United States in the largest proportion are those which are actually necessary to a con The principal grains food are wheat, of which the United States furnishes 47 wr cent.; wheat flour, of which the United States furnishes 83 per cent. md oatmeal, of which the United States furnishes 83 per cent. These large quantities include the shipments of Canada through the United States. Last year, for in- stance, Manitoba raised 40,000,000 bushels of wheat, and perhaps the half of it found its way to Europe vin the American routes. Probably a considerable proportion of Canada's lour and oatmeal went to England hy the same way. The future will alter all this and the lesson will be sooner learned as men like Mr. Whelpley in «ist that England is dependent upon America dor her fodd supply and practically at her mercy. It is observed that in no direction, at home or in the colonies, is any ei- fort being made to increase her food FRSOUIoEs or secure any preference in the distribution of the existing food supply. Time was, in Mr. Whelpley's opinion, when a proferential tariff might do something, but it is now tinnance of life. imported for THR DAILY SCHOOL BOARDS V8. COUNCILS, The Ottawa Journal notes the trou ble that has ocourred between the council and school board of Toronto, and remarks : "To have two masters in one hotise is not usually satisfactory or safe Neither is it to have two masters of municipal revenue. Common sense would seem to indicate that the which is specifically elected by the ratepayers to administer the munici- pal finances, namely, the eouncil, should be the decisive court of resort as regards all expenditure. out of the present fuss in comes some legislative action either to make municipal councils supreme, or to take from them altogether the responsibility of imposing and collect- ing school taxes, the outcome will be an improvement on present condi tions." There is no actual conflict between powers of the council and school board now which the law can recog The school board is elected by as to If nize, the people, and its function is to certain how much it will require run the schools efficiently during the year, and notify the council of the fact... The eouncil is not responsible for the school rate, and has no apol- | ogy to offer therefor. It simply adds the school rate to the public municipal rate and collects both, through the one department and its officers, as a mat ter of convenience. The legislature could not give council the and the council could not assume the the finances and not the these the control of work and responsibility which finances represent.

EDITORIAL NOTES The voung man problem is enguging the attention of the church. It is not to be solved, however, by the passing | of resolutions and the organizing of new societies. The church is burdened with machinery already. In Montreal no one can vote in the municipal elections who owes for personal taxes or water rates. Such a disqualification works miracles in securing an early payment of dues before voting time. It helps the lectors' department very much. col Peter White, jr., is pining for an other dressing down in North Ren frew, and. he will get it, too. Mr. Mackie, M.P., may not resign from the commons to run for the local house, and he may. In any event Mr. White is not at all likely to be the new member, There is no evidence that the = bal lots cast in the election reftwmns were "tampered with after they were count- ed and before the boxes were sealed The conservative party had its scrutineers. Did they see anything done to the ballots ? The returning officers in Lennox were reliable men. ---- The Toronto News uses language in regard to the Lennox election which circumstances do not warrant. Some marks on ballots cannot be .aecount ed for, and the inference is that they have been spoiled by black guards. Judge Wilkison did not get or give any such impression in his re up." count. The society-editor of the Mail has had to make a queer correction. It reads : "The gown described in this column Monday morning as worn by Mrs. Patterson, of Embro, at the Woodbine, on Victoria Day, was the toilette adopted for the occasion by Mrs. Hugh Guthrie, of Guelph, who is the guest of Senator anf Mrs. Melvin Jones. Mrs. Patterson was not pres sent." Oh! -------- Enterprise Etchings. Enterprise, June 9.--Arnold Smith, Yarker, spent last Thursday evening with the band.
