Mr." Maclean, M.P., talks so much that it ixdoubtfal whether he can re- call or identify the half of what he ways. But the following extract from a speech "which he made in March, 19002, willbe a surprise to those who have heard him orate on the autono- mvyhills ; "Speaking of the provinces, T have not a moment's hesitation in saying that the result of provincial govern- ment in Canada has been detrimental to the progress of the country. I say that 'the interpretation of the law that has been given by the English privy council in regard to the distri- bution of rights as between the pro- Vinors and the federal power Jas been so against the interest of courtrv. as a whole that I regret I agree with the honorable for Lanark (Hon. Ee some day we will have the whole jurisdiction in this parliament and in some way we will work it out, and in some we will inevease the federal power and wipe out gradually the provincial power." Provincial rights are only sacred] sometimes, Just now, for argument's sake, they are all-important. In 1902 it ldbked to Mr. Maclean as if the feder- al govegiment had' to concentrate its power and usurp the functions of the provinces, FT ---------------- Cost Of Street Lights. Mr. Rust, the city engineer in Tor onto, reporting upon the cost of a munidipally owned electric plant, for street lighting, estimates it at $007. 297. He figures that each lamp will cost $8030 per annum--$40 for run- ning expenses and repairs, $38.30 for depreciation at 5 per cent., and $2 for insiramoe, The figures are high, in view of lat- or _experientos. Detroit, when it began municipal 'management of lighting, charged up $00 per lamp per year as the cost. but now it is only $06.45, which figures cover all charges against the plant. Chicago, on a 1,100 light plant, in 1899 paid $96. per lamp, and now. pays $06.93 and the sum. woul bo small but for the midonial. As. advantage 'of political interference. Aevording to the report of the com- missioner of labour in the United Staten, in 1890, street ares cost from LT to $BR.56 per lamp per annum. There is an explanation for this re- duetion in cost. In 1889, the dynamo used cost $32.20 per are, while the lamps' cost $50; in 1902, the dynamo only cost $19 per arc, and the lamp 822.50. In the same period the cost of carbons was reduced from $40 to £50 per thousand te only $10 a thousand. In Kingston the charge per lamp per annum is $70, It means that the city cannot, at this price, afford an "ex- tension of the service, It may be that the plant, as it stands, will not per- mit of much reduction, but there should be a reconsideration of the matter, under present conditions, and the fire and light committee should ask for this without further delay, Pub icity The Safe Guard. Mr. Hyde, of the Equitable Life As- surance company, has assented to its mutualization, conditionally, as a means of making peace and of restor ing harmony among the policy hold- ers. But he has a decided objection to leave an office which has brought him $100,006 a yoar in salary, and op portunities to double that amount in speculation. The company began its operations with a paid-up capital of £100,000, and the holders- of it con- tinued to direct its affairs, including its immense resources of nearly $500, 000,000. That any man should, by owning or controlling half the stock, have access to so much money, and the use of it in any way, is enough to suggest the steps 'whicki.are bein, taken for a change, y Against this change in the manage. ment there is a protest by some of the directors, and for the reason that they have heen able to influence in- vestments in which they are concern- ed. For instance the railway opera tors are largely represented on the boards of the larger insurance cor- .porations, and they have been inter ested in the investment of $315,000, 000 in their stocks. Mr. Harriman's lines have about. $25,000,000 of the Equitable's money, and he is a direc 'tor with a pull.' Indeed it is asserted, that the enquiry which has been de manded by the management and the {policyholders cannot be quite satis: factory, because of Mr, Harriman's position as a general director. The of. ficial who has begun the investiga: tion has been, it is charged, | con- | scious of what has heen going on, and the fact that he has been silent, is alleged to be due to his association J with friends of the Harfiman tribe. A here es would appets evr Good will follow the upheaval. At tention will be, called to the manner in which trust funds have been hand- led, and a demand will be made that all the monies of the men, invested in life insurance, be fully accounted for, It may be the requirement of the in- surance department that annually the investments of the insurance com- panies be overhauled, and that the statement of the examiner be publish: ed for information of the public.

Augustine Davies, president of the International Acetylene Association, writes the following letter to the Tor- onto World "for the purpose of giv- mg some correct information about acetylene and to show that the King- ston disaster resulted wholly from its use in direct violation of the condi- tions prescribed by the insurdnee au- thorities."" He savs : "Hi i tobe a few days in your city, I deem it my duty as presi- dent of the Internationa Acetylene Association, in view of the newspaper reports. of and comments upon the terrible accident, which recently oc- curred on the government steamer at ) to remove any erroneous Impression as to the dangers of acety- ene as an illuminant. which may have ; arisen in consequence thereof.

The Toronto Telegram is wrong in saying that Queen's College Quarterly was suppressed in order to silemce Prof. Cappon on the autonomy bill, He has not been silenced. His article appeared in the Mail, or the gist of it, and it has since been issued in pamphlet form. It was rejected by the business manager of the Quarterly be- cause that publication is not political in its character. SPIRIT OF THE PRESS. On Danger Line. Toronto News.

Early in the history. of acetviene this practice was 'largely followed, the ori- dinal idea beitg to supply consum- mers with acetylene, compressed in steel tubes, just as carbonic acid gas is supplied for soda water fountains. The result was that, in filling these tubes several terrific explosiohs oe curred, and a most rigid investigation followed. It was proven by the testi mony of experts that when acetylene is placed under two or three atmos pheres--30 to 45 pounds pressute--it becomes an explpsive, The result was the prohibition of the use of com pressed acetylene by the insurance an- | thorities, "This same board of insurance ginieers, which strictly prohibits the use of compressed acetylene, permits | the use of automatic acetylene gen- erators in insured buildings without additional charge for insurance, when such generators are built in accord- ance with their rules for construc- tion."
