A PROBING IS NEEDED. | H there is ground for contending | that the people's aflgirs in the could he managed more economically land more successfully there iis the | greater ground for concluding that the peoples affairs in the county could be improved by a change. Things have taken m serious turn, when a man of Mr. Calvin's standing feels compelied to do or say thing which will attract the people's attention. What is the matter ? There must be something amiss, and the sooner the people demand an enquiry the better. , First, "it is alleged that the re venues of the county from taxation are inadequate. Every year there isa forecasting as to the wants of the county. A budget is prepared. Does it show everything ? Is there upon the face of the document the informa- tion to which the people are entitled-- that the business of the county is be- ing carelully and economically admin- istered ? For every legitimate expen- diture, known and anticipated, pro- vision should be made, and in the contemplation of the facts there city some- ors of our climate, and the chances are that the further emigration of thein will be discouraged. The conclusion that the British Col- ambians do not appreciate British in- stitutions The people "at the coast in the past have ben go much British. that they were sometimes supposed to be against Canada, or that part of it lying east of the Rocky Mountains. The idea that they are anti-British becanse they have opinions the immigration question "is certainly erroneous. -------------- DICTATING TO THE PARTY. Mr. Hughes having intimated his willingness to become a candidate for the presidency of the United States was waileomed by the republican club of New York city on Friday last, and made a speech of gpecial mi rit. In it he practically enunciated his idea of what the party platform ought to be. Is there a parallel for this ? Yes, in the case of Clevéland. At the end of his first term, and when he was found is certainly unique, on to be the only available democrat with a hope of success in the pending election, the partly was practically sidetracked, while the president out. lined the programme of his liking. In other words the president was stronger than the party and knew better what it could carry, He out- lined what he approved, on an appeal to the people, and the committee on resolutions found it easy to act ac- cordingly, The democratic président in the last election, Judge Parker, made it a condition of the campaign, 80 far as he was concgrned that the silver question should be dead. considered The party agreed to its dicta- tion and yet it suffered defeat, In Canada Mr. Borden, in the elec- tion of 1904, wobbled in his attitude on public ownership, He hesitated at what he should do. He finally made lost, He is again playing the doubtful part of advocat- ing a policy which is his own. There does not appear to be any evidence that he is more popular now in bis contentions, and there is no evidence that he represents' now, afiy more than he did some years ago, the minds of the people who call themselves con- servatives, the plunge, and A ------ MR. TARTE LEAVING OFFICE. There is nothing new in the extracts from Mr. Tarte's private papers which are now finding their way into the press.- The essence of what has "been published is that Mr. Tarte did not begin a new political campaign while the premier was out of Canada, that what he said in certain addresses--so should be no doubts and misgivings. A cursory glance at the auditor's report is suggestive of this condusion --that a great saving in county ex- penses might be effected if the public supplies or needs or requirements were covered in every case by @ontracts, Why should hundreds of dollars be spent in repairs to roofs or furnaces year after year ? Cannot a report be procured irom some architect as to what is really wanted, and ean the work not be covered by a specifica tion, a tender and a contract? The roof or the furnace that is forever in the hands of the repairer had better be replaced at once, on the ground that the larger cost will be a saving in the permanence of the service.

The premier lost no time in calling attention to the case as soon as he arvived from England, and Mr. Tarte realized the situation by under- taking at once to retire from the gov- ernment. The premier suggested that the matter be made the subject of a conference with his colleagues. To this Mr. Tarte at first assented, but next day concluded that his resigna- tion had better go through, and mailed it. Mr. Tarte attributed some ulterior motives to his colleagues, but there is wo evidence of this; and though he went out of office untramelled, and free to speak his mind, be said no more to elucidate the question. That he was impetuous and overestimated his persenal power goes without say. ings As the ally of Sir Wilirid Laurier he was very influential. Alone he was not so influential.
