The, government - of Manitoba is go- | ing to the people, after the next ses- sion, and the trump card igre to play is. public ownership telo (Phones. The iden is to drive out the Bell Telephone company, which has now covered the province pretty. well with its lines, anid to establish a sys: tem at the instigation and request of the manicipalitics, but ufider the con- trol of the government. In other words the people will vote ~dr be asked to vote--for municipal lines, in the villages, towns and town- ships, and the government will do the rest--erecting the lines and putting in the service at the people's expense. The government of the province feels that it must have something with which to dazzle the people. It has not 8 power commission like Ontario, and 80 cannot offer the municipalities cheap power at the councils' expense, But the telophone offers an opportuni- ty for a little advertising. the, fact that the farmers are interest: ad, and they have not been given any very definite information upon the subject. They desire, telephone com- munication between each other and the business contres, but they will only sipport 'the proposition when thoy have been given an estimate of the cost, and this has not yet been figured out, The peculiar feature is the erection of the telephone system in Winnipeg, Brandon, and Portage La Prairie, by the government. This means that the whole province will be taxed for the benefit of the three places named, and it is an arrangement whioh is neither reasonable or popular, and will not take with the rural voters.

Has the confession been published ? -- The council which is elected by the ward svstem is declared, by the St, Catharines Star, to be superior to the council which is elected by the people af large. Strange, isn't it? -- No children of school age are em- ployed in the factories of Woodstock. Are there ne children of school age employed in the factories of Kings- ton?

It is mentally intoxicating. Mr. Berrill, the president of the British Board of Education, says the educational bill will stand and that the lords must go. But suppose they won't? They cannot be forced to commit political suicide. The Spectator wants to know why the Whig is so much interested in the East Hamilton bye-election. Why was our contemporary so interested in Kingston's Sorkin Shwuld the Whig not return the compliment ? } em---- The Manitoba contingent, headed by Hon, Bob, Rogers, is persuaded that Keewatin will not be divided up and assigned, in pieces, to the other pro- vinces. It may be converted into a new province, and probably that will be the best thing for Keewatin, The World favours legislation which would make the man serve in the office to which the people elected him. This scheme, it is thought, would put the party hack and chronic officcholder out of office. But would it? The ma- chine, in Toronto for instance, would work even then. SPIRIT OF THE PRESS.
