If Mr. Borden, therefore, real- ly intends to remove to Toronto and to stand at the' next electicn for South Ontario he will probably take good eare to be also inated for some other and safer constituency, otherwise he might find himself out of parliament. - The constituency of South Ontario as it was created at confederation was contested by the Hon. George Brown, who was defeat {ed by soventy votes." Tn the light of these facts one can understand why Mr. Borden took the matter into his serious consideration. He knew there was a redistribution bill coming down and he w to see what it propos- @l. If the "boundaries of South On- tario are changed he will not be a candidate in it. ---- INSULTING THE JUDGE. A conservative member of the legis- Inture, aéting on behalf of his party of courde, and with the concurrence of his leader, has asked if any mem- ber of Sir John Boyd's family is an employee of the Ontario government, and at what salary. The same mem- ber wants to know how much Sir John Boyd has drawn from the pub- lic funds 'for various services as a referee, arbitrgtor ox commissioner, The object of the mad is 'quite ap! parent. It is to show that Sir John Boyd has been a beneficiary of the | government, directly or indirectly, and that he may be personally in: clined towards the government at this time. The idea is simply insulting, 8go referred to as a man of fine judi- , & man who, though a libe- never beén a politician in the acceptance of the term, and for whom the whole legal pro: has had the greatest regard. t a son of Sir John Boyd been appointed to the civil ser- , and that Sir John has acted hitherto in various 'public capacities, i : lr FET £ £ the Gamey charges? Do they dis- qualify him from sifting the scandal with the thoroughness that is so characteristic of him? Surely not. Then why 'the insult ? FREEDOM OF SHIPPING. Among thé"issues which will come before the government next month, which the marine men are pushing to bolish, with all the energy they can command, is the abolition of the ca: nal tollsc A toll of any "kind is a hindrance to trade. It is sometimes a means. of recouping a company or large sum in a public improvement, as argued that the government can ever be repaid for its canal outlay by tolls. The capital invested in canals am- the revenue from them amounted to one-fifth of one per cent. This per- well be abandoned, especially as it falls upon the Canadian ship owners and adds to their oppression when brought, as they are" into the warm- ost competition with Awerican vessel men. Even the Canadian grain, the donuval movement of which is becom: erican route, because the canals are 250. 'and 30c. a bushel from Chicago \to Kingston, the canal charges, the spection. fees, and the customs' penses would net be mended, but they represent a serious * imposition: 'when el. "The city' council has passed resolu: tions, endorsing the position of the board of 'trade on this and kindred subjects, and public opinion will be will visit Ottawa for an interview with the government on April 7th. 'The agitation for the reform began in | Wingston, and very fittingly since this port has been' affected by the diver | ¥ sion of trade to other routes than the Anke and river.

The pre- mier intimates that the British Col. umbiand were informed that if they amended their legislation, so as to make it applicable to the Chinese only, it would be allowed. The limit will probably be acted dh, and the Chi as a q e, become scarce in the land. He is an industri ous person, but always an aMlen, al- ways incompetent to act as a citizen, and with no {terest in the land in which be lives and makes his money. In a sense he is a degenerate, and scarcely seems to Know it. EDITORIAL. NOTES. 'The council = has recommended the paving of certain streets, but will the people consent to it being done on the local improvement plan ? That is the question, -- The opposition in Ottawa Has it that divisions in the cabinet have oc- curred over the railway question. Mr. Blair says he has not heard anything of the trouble. -- Hon: Mr. Martin has threatened to leave British © Columbia if he is not recognized: as leader of the liberal par- ty. There are some people who hope he will put his threat into execution. Dan. McGilleuddy has retired from the newspaper business for the time being, and is now alternately resting and studying nature. Must 'the public see no more of his wit? It is hoped not. Parliament has authorized the judi: cial commission and the government is going on with its work despite the wails of the opposition. The waste. of time and money by the non-action o the legislature is very great. ---- Mr. Blair has denied that any deal has been made with the Grand Trunk railway in regard to the proposed Trans-Continental line. The government is not committed to the company in regard to either land or coast -: sub- sidy. ------ Admiral Dewey has heen talking about the Germans, and in a way to give them offence. The Germans may, not be as cute as the Yankees, but they are rn fighters, and William IV. has sea dogs with very sharp teeth. y The Liverpool Mercury cannot ima- gine that a political party in England desires Mr. Tarte for a seat in the Imperial parliament. It imagines that Ireland must want him as a running mate for Mr. Blake. That is really good. -- The beet sugar makers want a coun: tervailing duty to protest them against foreign sugar. There is now over $2,000,000 invested in the busi. ness, and the product of the factories this year will probably 'be 60,000,000 Ibs. of sugar. ---------- OBSERVATIONS. Is Prohibition Waning ?

Trenton, N.J., April 1.--Back of a suit which came up for preliminary hearing in this city, to-day, is a story dating: back to royalist days. The action is brought by the "'des- cendants of the original proprietors of the lands in the province of East Jersey," and is to regain possession of Ellis Island, Robbins Reef, and Oyster Island, all contained in New York Bay. In the early colonial days the dividing line between the owner: ship of public lands by East and West Jersey was drawn sharply across the state from Delaware, Water Gap to Little 'Egg Harbor. This organiza- tion"has been kept up to the present day. In the present suit the com- plainants aver that the immigration commission has no right to Ellis Is- land, that it does not belong to New York State, but to New Jersey, and that Elfis Island is their property.
