The food supply is all important ness, even life itself, the winter season, as it makes which some men fairly revel. Granted, however, that be marketed, it follows that the city, and especially the health authorities, cleanliness. The market clerk had, un- der the law, very particular duties to perform, and a public officer is sure- ly wanted to make frequent inspec: tions of shops, carts and shamblos-- not once a year,' or month or even week--and" 56 guarantee thet the care of fish or flesh is conducted ucrorimg to the best regulations.

How can fresh beef or mutton, under' these circumstances, be preserved from taint. The council may, in a spasm of eco- nomy, do without a market clerk, but the city cannot do without a meat or shop inspector. The best law that municipal body can draft or pass becomes useless when there is no one to enforce it. And the police eommis- sioners are invited to give this qucs- tion their early and respectful consid- eration, : Insurance Funds In Stock, There may be something in the con- tention of the insurance wen, that the act pestricts them unduly in the investment of their surplus, that thoy are obliged to ~o outside of the list preserihed by the law in order to make the higher interest. There is some risk in the handling of speculative se- curities, but the interest is high, and in the stocks in an ascending market, there are very large profits, But the offence of thosé 'who are in- clined to break the law is not mitji- gated hy the temptations they encouy- ter. They should obey the law in all points. If that law bears unduly upon them they have their recourse. They can repeat the operation for which they are so well qualified, and ask foe amendments to the law, and the amendments will be effected when they make good their case. There is no ex- ouse for the violations of which con- fessions have heen made withoit a twinge of conscience. The performance of getting rid of objectionable seouri- ties on December 31st, and receiving them back a few days later invites a supervision the more exacting and it presents a species of effrontory which does not admit of palliation. " Worse still--more remarkable' and surely more suggestive of leval reform --is the admission of one leader in the insurance world, that he has used the funds of his company in strengthening of bracing up a weakened stock. Granted that the company had hold: ings that would be affected. The insur- ance act never meant that insurance mongys should be used in speculation in anv' way or to any extent, and the law in this respect will probably be " also in one time, : Job Offices in Canada : rapid, sty- Hoh ph cheap "work : nine improved wrinting p lh THE DAILY WHIG. nin.

But. the. opposition makes in- sinuations. and it should be foreed to prove them or take them back. ---- Not Scared'By Screams. The refusal of parliament to reveal the membership of the North Atlantic regarded as ga serious offence. The gonservative press applauds the attitude of Mr. Borden on the subject. He would not look at the list of names as it has been con- fidentally sent to the premier. "How faudhe telly; aske ong papec--and i s Tairly representative. of all of . its class--""whether they were honest men or mere commercial pirates." He could not verify the information He would be completely gagged. The original grievance, bear in mind, was that this company was a gold mine, in which Mr. Preston had a personal and financial interest. Mr. Jufy's quarrel is said, by him, to have had its origin in the fact that he refused to tell what he knew about tho waste of money in immigration literature, though he gave: Mr. Pros- ton, in the first place, the data he had upon the subject. To the people the "scrap" dated from Mr. Jury's failure to get into something which was supposed to be making money out of the immigration business. Mr. Preston swore. that he had no fiman- cial interest in the tfading company, and Mr. Jury had no evidence to offer to the contrary. Now the disposition is to black- guard the government, and every member of it," because, the opposition has not made anything out of the scandal. Mr. Sifton, Mr. Smart, and Mr. Preston have been exonerated from censure, They have not given out for publication the names of the company, and they have on this point been justified by Strathcoaa. In dis- cussing the immigration business, in 1899, he approved the booming of it until it could get along without spe- cial ail, and he counselled Mr. Siftdn that "the new arrangement must be regarded as very confidential, and must not be made public in any way." The' issue is not, therefore, one that concerns the immigration commission- er or any of his helpers, but the honor of the government and the ad- vive of the high commissioner. Look- ed at in this light the screams of some conservative politicians and pressmen will not terrify anyone. Editorial Notes. The Scout explosion, at Kingston, is costing $40,000.

Nowhere, perhaps, 'in the world, has electricity been applied under condi- tions more difficult and exacting than those in the St. Clair tunnel; condi- tions which 'have heen carefully stu- died for some years both by the rail- way authorities and by electric ex- perts. The railway 4s busy on the new installations, which it is reported will cost $700,000. The installation will be a credit to the Grand Trunk railway svstem as well as to the electricians who have solved the problem, just as the opening of the tunnel itself was, over fourteen years ago, to the Grand Trunk railway and its experts who cut. the tunnel. Since then the Hudson at New York City is being tunmelled, and the Detroit river is about to be tunnelled, following the Grand Trunk's pioneer example in this important sub- marine work. The length of the St. Clair tunnel proper is 6,025 feet, and of the open portals, or approaches 5,603 feet additional, or more than two miles in all. It is a continuous iron tube twenty feet less two inches in diameter, the total weight of the iron used being 56,000,000 pounds, The tunnel cost $2,000,000, and pas- senger trains began running through it on December 7th; 1891. The electric Igcomotives to be used will employ 'the alternating current, and will be capable of hauling a passenger train on the grade at a speed of twenty to twenty-five miles an hour; and a 10+ 000-ton freight train at ten miles an hour, Damage By Lightning.
