While farmers do not seem specially {papers THE ACME HEAT PRODUCER. grat arose | AT od in rural mail delivery there is a subject, we are told, in which they are vitally interested. This is the extension of the parcel post sys- tem. This reform wgs urged at the late meeting of the Dominion Grange, and the carrying out of what is call od for would be a substantial benefit to the agricultural interest. It would enable the farmer to send his butter, ogee, poultry, or fruit direct to a city customer at a moderate charge, and put him in a position to obtain small bulk supplies from the city in the same way. By conceding what is ask. ed in this case, the postal revenue would be increased 10 an extent at least qqbal to the cost of the increase in the service called for. The farmers knew what they want better than the city folk, and the politicians. They (demand . parcel post, and they must get it. " ' CHECK THE PESSIMISN, John C. Eaton, the manager of the T. Eaton company, deprecates, in a Winnipeg paper, the talk of the day, and about the times in which we live. "The only danger," he says, "to Canadian interests is that the keep talking about 'money stringency,' and other such nonsense, and il they do not stop they may bring on a crisis. Toronto and Win- nipeg and all the rest of them have no cause to be anything but happy if they will only try to see how well off they are rather than how poorly off." There is a grain "of sense in that. Some people are scared unnecessarily about the outlook, and they have suc ceeded in alarming others and in per- potuating the tightness in money for which the banks are more or less re- sponsible. The depression is not some- thing which exists in the mind. It exists to some extent in the country as well. There is a lack - of employment, be- cause business extension has for the time being stopped, snd a lack of money because the banks will hoard it, but the less said about it the bet- ter. Confidence is returning, but it will not be hurried by the pessimism which some people ave doing their best to cultivate. WHO CAN SUGGEST REFORN ? There is a growing sentiment in favour of senate reform. It is long years since the demand originated for it, and the object aimed at--a cham- ber so perfectly poised politically that no one can question its judgment--is as far of as ever. La Patrie, Mr. Tarte's paper, is engrossed with the subject, but Mr. Tarte's pen is not writing anything on the subject. He i= not at all well--the more's the pity land so not lending his personal aid to the lightening of the issue. There is really no acceptable pro- senators are said to have expressed themselves as f{avourable to some- thing being done, but neither Mr. Ellis nor Mr. Perley nor Mr. MoMil- Jan drops an ides which can suggest that he has any definite plan in hand. The truth has been clearly expressed by one paper.when it says that thus . ltar, beginning with . that led by Sir John McDonald, the party with each change of government, has been busied for the time being in adjusting the senate so that they could do busi ness. When the obstructive stage has been overcome there is no desire for experiments. Life tenure is the great defect 'of the senate. If members had a limited reign, and had to show an approved rd before seeking re-appointment, there would be some occasion for re- form. As it is now the average sena- tof regards the upper chamber as a {pleasant resort. At times he diverts {himself with the legislation of the HHlower house, and attempts to improve it. Some change for the better is {eommonly looked for, but no one, on be government side or in the opposi- 'has been able to outline it. i i Semmes! What do you think of the rational [Sunday ?

Edward VII had a long apprenticeship in public life, and was so much identified with the royal du- ties that no change was visible in his direction of national affairs. The Prince of Wales is passing through the same exacting course and so pre- paring for the exalted duties which will later on come to him. It is the lack of this training which makes any change in the presidency of the United States a serious mat- ter. Mr. Roosevelt is going out of of- fice in a year or 'so. With him retire all the members of the government, The civil servants remain, but not all of them. New men will wont new officials, and the marvel is that civil does. The only correct plan is one of Preparation, men reaching high places only as they have shown that they possess the qualifications which these places demand. EDITORIAL NOTES. Mr. Macdonnell, M.P., like Mr. Cock- shutt, M.P., wants more protection. Why don't they move for it in parlia- ment ? Does Dr, Pyne really believe that the federal government is going to vote him money which he spend on technical education ? Is he so new a that ? 3 . Queen's College will not object if the Whitney government puts something substantial into its stocking for the School of Pedagogy. Its grant of $5,000 should be supplemented. Mr. Foster went to Hamilton to en- lighten the natives in party questions, and did not say a word about the Halifax platform. What is the mat- ter? Is he unable to fully defend or endorse it? Representatives of both parties have declared in favour of civil service re- form. Could not both governments-- those of Toronto and Ottawa--make definite announcements on the sub- ject ? Then something would be do- ing. The conservatives of Centre York are asked to elect Thomas Wallace for his father's sake. By the way, "Tom" says he opposed the late government, before 1896, and we know that the late Mr, Wallace had occasion to ex- press non-confidence in it. During the late conservative admin- istration the corporations got 31,500, 000 acres of land in the North-West, and the settlers 8.000000. During lib- eral rule the settlers got 20,000,000 acres and the great corporations 2,000,000. Quite a difference. Claude Macdonnell, M.P,, in Centre York, was lauding Australia as a woan- derful country under a peculiar tariff, but when some one told him that the people of Australia were starving he switched off upon another subject. It's not what a man knows that counts. We what he asserts.

The trade in ardent spirits is steadily on the increase in this city, and all through the island. The leadng Church of England clergyman of Charlottetown openly declares denounce it publicly. Its only defenders are the fanatics who prefer to force a people to drink grossly by stealth, instead of openly in moderation. 'When any community has well-regulated bars, it drinks in moderation of mild beverages. When the law becomes sumptuary and oppressive, the drink evil grows and people use adulterated liquors and in greater quantity. Prohibition in Prince Edward Island is tyrannical, is grossly useless, --since the drink evil, as an pvil, is actualy increasing, --and serves no other purpose than to transfer the liquor traffic from the grip of the law to the caprice and greed of the individual.
