The Rrantford i have been re- sisting the alloged, tions of the lo- enl coal ring. It is complained bv some that they. have been put upon the "look out" or "black" list, and eannot get the conl they want in con sequence, They believe the retailers to be in a conspiracy against them. What can be done about it? Any thing * It seems not. The coal men are not the only ones who combine for mutual protection, Mechanics unite upon the wage they will demand for their labour; mer chants agree upon the prices they will ask for their goods; railwav and steamboat men decide upon the tariff for fares and freights; and syndicates of all kinds determine what the mea sure of their profit will be. The coal men may be acting strangely enough, bit they de not plead guilty to the charge that they are conspiring ugningt the people. They say they are regulated by certain rules and have to pay for every violation of them. It is to be feared that these business compacts are being made injurious bv their conditions. The principle that is meant to be helpful may become verv harmful. Tt is all a matter of cir cumsétance and application. A CASE OF INFERENCE, The conservative papers point to the resignation of Mr. Davis as an evi dence of the coxguption of his party. He is alleged to have made a confes sion of wrong-doing, but he did not. It is only inferred that had the elec tion trial gone on, with scores of wit nesses, more acts might have been de tected, on' the part of agents, that would have unsorted the member-elect. The process of discovery was alto gether too expensive for peaceful con templation, Hence the consent of Mr, Davis to an arrangement which open ed the constituency and left him and his opponent to contest it afresh. What the people of [North York think about the proceedings they put on re cord at a public meeting. Here they declared that "they did not believe {that any dishonorable act had been performed by Mr. Davis in any of his election contests." The fact appears that had the case the appearance some people aver the conservative party's managers would not, on sever al occasions, have undertaken to swap it off against a conservative case. The only bar to such a senti- ment was Mr, Lennox's protest, when he agreed to the new election, accepting such a sum as a third party named for some of his expenses, the corruption of which he originally com plained, seems to have been more imaginary than real. and TAXING THE RAILWAYS. Under the heading, "Dou You Know Thesa Facts," the Toronto Star gives some very important informa tion on the taxation question. It ie marks : "In the state of and Michigan the 305 miles of road, thereon $185,086 in taxes, which is over #50000 more than is paid by the Grand Trunk on ite 2,653 miles of tracks in Ontario. "In Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine the Grand Trunk operates 172 miles of road, which pays $49,100 in taxes. The same mileage in Ontario would pay only $8,600, "Im New York the Grand Trunk hus a branch line of twenty-two miles, which pays taxes of 8131 per mile Some of ite branch lines in Ontario pay le s than 88 per mile. Hlinois, Indiana, Grand 'Trunk i has and in 1901 paid Bottles, Nipples, Food Warmers, tle Cleaners, Nipple 'Cleaners, Teethin Rings, Teething Neck- la Soothers, Talewm Powders, Diapers and a full line of ; Infants' Food. a to keep everything that be nesded in the nursery. 343 if too busy to coe "The lian Pacific railway oper ates in Michigan, Wisconsin and Min nesota 1.300 miles of road, on which it pays S241 5809 in taxes, while in Canada the «ame road pays only 8142222 in taxes on 7,300 miles of track. "the St. Clair tunnel is Canada and hall in the States. Our end pays 753 in their end pays 86,362. "Ihe International bridge over the St. Lawrence at Cornwall is assessod on its American end for 840,000 and pays taxes, while the Canadian end: is neither assessed nor taxed. On the American end the fare is two cents per mile; on the Canadian end it is three cents. The American end got no pub lic aid; the Canadian end received grants amounting to £125,000 from the Dominion and Untario governments.' Here is a subject which will stanl careful consideration, and at a time when the provinces are looking about for increased revenue. The power to tax is not confned to one state or coimtry, and the contrasts presents ed hy the Star carry with them thei lesen. The great railways' are mak ing money, They are subject to tax ation. Are thoy fairly dealt with in the United States ¥ 1 so they should contribute moré of their half' in United taxes; earnings io the cause of good government in Can ada. ---------- The Spectator is persuaded that the electors of Hamilton are satisfied with city goyernment as they have it now. They must be easily pleased. THE AJORITY GROWS, Mr. Whitney will now be heard from. He will not admit. that Mr. Gamey has deserted bim without some 'consid- eration. Mr. Gamey represents Mani: toulin in the leginlatiape, He was «l coted as an independent conservative, and has been persistently counted an a supporter of the opposition. Mr. Gamey has been visiting Toron- to, and he has taken the pains to an nounce, publicly, that he is for the de velelopment of New Ontario--which means the development of Manitoulin ~mnd that he will support the Ontario government because it is firmly en- trenched in power and so in a position to carry out its policy. "I will not be a staunch supporter of the govern- ment," he said to the Globe, "hut will stand by it on all questions where they need my help to carry out every good development policy. | 'want to see the government in power by a fair ly strong support, and will stand by it on all questions which may involve a vote of want of confidence in mat- ters that 1 am satisfied with." ~ This will give the government a ma- jority of seven, with the house as it now stands, and without counting Mr. Davis, who will presently resign his seat and recontest it. North Renfrew and Centre Bruce are vacant, Lennox, South Oxford and Sault Ste. Marie are affected by proceedings in the courts. The government may have a mujority of ten when the house meets. Good enough ! SAFEGUARDING THE PROVINCE Hon. Mr. Stratton has made an im portant statement in regard to the Niagara Falls water power. He says that three companies have been given franchises, --and that (without any monopolistig, tendencies), to develop electrical energy for general companies have expended third has been they are free use. Two large sums, and the laying its plans on an extensive scale. The enterprises already authorized in volve an outlay of between fifteen and twenty millions. "If," says Mr. "the of Toronto desires to go into the busi electrical Stratton, city ness of developing energy there is plenty of reserve power avail able for the purpose at the falls, but it should be remembered that with the power companies in operation there will be a supply of electric pow er far in excess of any probable de mand for years to come." It is understood that the Falls Park Commission, who have to do with the control of power, are fa vourable to the last application for a franchise, on condition that there is a guarantee given against the pooling of results and the raising of charges. The fear is that these franchises will some day becomie a source of anxiety to the province. Hence it should make sure that its rights cannot be ignor- ed nor defied. Kingston has had its experience on the franchise question. The province will have its experience in the course of time unless it is par ticularly careful now. The point must be guarded that the province will never be asked for com pensation should it require, in the public interest, a surrender of the franchises it has been giving so freely to the companies which are operating at the Falls. Niagara SAVIOUR OF HIS RACE. The news will be agreeable to most people that the Doukkobor trouble is nearly at an end. The last heard ab out this misguided very assuring. They had gone on an extended pilgrimage, in search of a Saviour, and suffered many and privations by the way. They had been finally rounded up by the govern ment, forced into a train, and taken back to their settlement near York ton, where they were deposited in a people was not mishaps discontented frame of mind. The in formation was that it was only a question of time until they would move out again. The general convic tion was that the country was going to be cursed in place of blessed by their presence, But a change has come ovet them, and it has been brought about under the trmpicetits, of one man. Peter Veri gin is a born leader of men. He had beén a stalwart among the Doukho bors in Russia, and had sufiered in consequence. He was in exile when his countrymen and when given his liberty followed them. He reached the North-West soon after the episode referred to. At once his in fluence was felt, He realized the free dom which they enjoyed, and was not long in contrasting it with life in Russia. As a result he began to teach the gospel of peace. According to a let ter, addressed to the Winnipeg Free Press, he has declared in favor of ob serving the laws of the land. If the Doukhobors act on his advice, and it is the expectation that they will, they will . came to Canada, enter for their homesteads, obey says the Free "hat of gh Jong #un Canadi- ans ho ve 4 van no reason to regret that their eowntry (gave these peculiar peo- ple a home." Verigin is a saviour of his race, and one who has been de designed by Providence for useful work. EDITORIAL NOTES The Methodist revival services begin a very tomorrow.
