LB for ita object the standardizing of the : | we ight of bread in mupicipalities where ithe council so wills it, is causing {some heart-burning" in Toronto, "The | porary, government,"' says a contem- "sees the need of some halting betwixt its such measure, but is ¥ | conscience and a host of angry hakers, {The breadmakers, so 'tis said, are [nearly all Whitneyites, this \revelation being an 'adequate explandtion of thow the 'dough' is raised for' conser: vative cawpaign funds. The public, {bowever, which 1s always to be reck- | oned with in election matters, hos a stubborn regard for the weight of bread, an attempt to foreshorten it being regarded as oquivalent an attack upon the British constitution." In the year 1901, so history goes, the bakers were given the privilege of making any odd loaf so long as they stamped it properly. 'As a resutc the bread men have gone in for bread of fancy sort and fancy sizes. They have installed new pans, and claim that it would cost some of them $1,000 to get back to pld requirements. In the meantime, the Toronto Star says, the government is listening to the bakers with one ear and the people with the other, to -------- SOME OF THE RECEIPTS. Mr. McKay, in the legislature, told the origin of some of thé boasted sure plus of the government. From succes- sion dues last year the receipts were $500,000, and the act which author- ized the eollection had been passed de- spite. the opposition of the conserva- tives, The proceeding was called "a rob- bery of the dead," and when the pass- age of the act could not be prevented it was moved that the fees he reduced by one-half. Alter the change of gov- orument the act was made more stringent and ite demands more ex- acting. Then the supplementary revenue act; designed to eollect from wealthy cor porations the taxes the municipality could not reach, added $773,000 to the receipts, and the act was opposed by members of the present government. They were not entitled to any credit on that account, There had been a receipt of 875,000 from the Brewers' and Distillers' act, which the conservatives could not tol erate when out of power. Mow they reconciled themselves to gladly, gleefully, the money they for- merly regarded as extortion, it is dil receive ficult to imagine From five acts, the work of the last government and all dendunced by the now compose the ministry, the treasury has by $0,162,204, and this sum represents a legacy for which thanks have not been expressed, men who been enriched A VERY IMPORTANT FINDING. When the Quebec bridge fell the at tempt was made to pat blame on the federal government, because it did not assume the responsibility of supervise ion. It' had (its inspector, and he had not been aware of any defect in the workmanship' or material going inte the hridge. The commission which the ment appointed--composed of three of the best Canada affords -- has made its report, amd it is said to be govern men a vindication of all who had to do with the work in Canada. The weak- ness was in the design which was made by the engineer of the Phoenix Brigge company and approved by the highest authority in bridge construe- tion in America, Mr. Cooper, of New York. It was 'accepted by the gov- ernment, and no fault can be found with the manner in which it was care vied out. In an undertaking greater than ever before attempted in bridge construe- tion it appears that [the cngineers failed - to recognize that the usual working formulae as to, Sight and strain wore mot applicible without considerable modification, in the pre. rsent instante. The design was a beau- tiful one, and the details of ponstrue Ajon were worked out with the finest vire, according to the best principles of modern bridge-building, but the weight of the great middle span was too, great for the supporting mem- bers, hence the collapse. In view of this finding the conserva. tive croakets will bave to double again and revise its policy on the question. 5 ------------ by \ "The World endorses the new electric deal and demands, as the first essen: tial for the success: ul: the power scheme, the ownership and contral of { he chilled the liquor men when {appealed to him for protection from | WHITNEY IN DOCILE MOOD. Mr. Whitney was very adroit whea | catfed im by a big ddegation from the the Ontario Temperance Alliance.

Last week the council of Toronto, He brasquely informed the committee that the only recourse was to, the people, who had the power of correcting every griey- ance and every injustice at the polls, temperance men called upon him. Dr Carmen bad announced that the tem perance men were in politics and they were going to stay in them until the reforms they sought had been secured It is possible that the main idea was somewhat obscured by the talk of prohibition and the abolition of the bar, The point of protest, important for a while, was the three-fifths clause, to. which the alliance objected most strongly. The premier was soft and seductive in his reply. He did not assert him- self with the usual bluntness. The three-fifths clause had been resorted to for a purpose, but ite removal would be considered in connection with the arguments which had been advanced. The government would not be moved by threats or cajolementg perish the thought--but it would respect the re- presentations that had been made to it. The government is fencing a bit on the subject. It could have referred the temperance people to the polls, as it did the liguor people, but it could not forget the to use the franchise in getting its de- mands. Nor is the alllance to be fool ed by the government. It has adjourn- ed until the end of the parliamentary seasion, then to be summoned to take such action as the circumstances war rant, resolution of the alliance, EDITORIAL NOTES.

In such a confederation the Unitarian church must of course be included, In taking the recent church censue of Kingston, the Unitarian church was conspicuously and foolishly omitted, for there are very many Unitarians in Kingston, as in al} university cities, though they way not have a church building. It is not the building but the fellowship of Christian spirits which makp a church. Anyone who has 6 the history of reli- ion and of theological thought dur- ing the nineteenth century must ad- mit all the churches, Bs the opinions of nearly all educated men, are con verging towards Unitarianism.

ALICE CHOWN, Here's Another View, Kingston, Feb, 27.--(To the Editor) Whoever wrote - the letter in last night's Whig, signed ?Unionist,"' is a historian of merit. He could not have been truer to life had he presented a film of moving pictures of the religi ous development of those whom he so accurately. described in their antagon ism towards church upion, 1 thought christendom © fuvored church union, but it seems I am in error, in so far as some of the members of St, An- drew's are concerned. But the action of the thirteen who supported the freaks resolution is not to be wondered at when one thinks of the past, Although under the hali century mark, 1 can recollect the commotion in the same congregation when it was proposed to displace the tuning fork with an organ, to introduce the sitiging of the hymns which are so popular nbrw, and not to insist on the congregation' standing during prayer. I saw the resolution that was carried at the church meeting It is unique but worthy, [he general assembly asked for suggestions.
