Why should there not be a revision of the provincial voters' lists before a dominion election ? That is the ques tion one asks in view of the tour of Hon. Mr. Rogers from Winnipeg to Ottawa, there to protest against Mr. Avlesworth's election bill. Mr. Rogers, belore leaving his home, gave it out as a fact (whereas it is a fiction), that under the federal pro- posal hundreds of voters may have their names strutk off by paid, _bench- men, and the names of others added. How can that be done ? It is provid- ed that the revision shall be conduct- ed by a judge, and that he must have the evidence before he ran order the removal of any name or the addition of another, Mr. Aylesworth is probably aware of what has been done in Manitoba, by the Roblin-Rogers combination. He has the facts with regard to the last alleged registration for provincial purposes. Then one man was appoint. ed for each constituency and he sim- ply drove over it, calling at certain places, but not remmining long enough to do effective service. The minister of justice has been also informed, in all probability, that unless a proper revision has been provided there will be an army of voters in Manitoba disfranchised, as many as a thousand i Winnipeg alone. What Mr. Rogers is aching for he may get--a proper trimming--and the man for the emergency is Hon, Mr. Aylesworth. There is a limit to Mr. Rogers' audacity. GETTING OUT OF THE RUTS. Some evidence was ofr hefore the Public Accounts committee on Wednes- of the need of reform in the man- of keeping the public accounts. The experts of the marine department found some of the procedure at Que- bee, at Sorel, Prescott, St. John, and and defectiye. There was an incompleteness about it which was very striking, The point raised by Mr. Foster was important, and it brought out the answer one would expect. The changes suggested by the experts were along the line of practical accounting, and they were quite within the eompre- hension of men were skilled in There never was a man who did not feel that he could under- take the k when the improvement had been .dected. The experts admit that the department had men who were capable of doing better things, but the fact that they were equal to higher service and did not perform it is not to their credit. The average government official .is not looking for hard work, He does net usually, and for the glory of it, reorganize systems, and out of the competition for better plans and methods is not apt to be familiar with them, The marine SJeurtinant may be pay- ig high for the labour of the experts. but it js getting a rpport the adop- tion of which will revolutionize its ac- counting branch, The original plan was to study the service, to ascertain what it wanted, and to inaugurate the changes that would bring about a complete reform, | Without the stimula- tion of the experts the object aimed. at may be delayed. day ner elsewhere ancient who book-keeping. » NOT IN GAOD FORM. The attack of thy Toronto World on the leader of the opposition is not in good form. - Mr "MeKay, it learns, is enjoying a stipend from his party, and it is worried lest the man is not free to do as he likes, or as his judgment dictates. The World is afraid that some per. sons are contributing to this salary under Circumstances which will make them a menace to the public interests, What it wants is the names of those who provide the money so that, after a study of them, it will be able to fs AL a A A ah Lined pr upon Mr. McKay's indepen- During the time Sir Jobn Macdon- ald was in opposition--from 1874 to 1878---he was enjoying the income which his political friends supplied. The list of the subscribers was not published, and no one asked\ for it. Mr. Borden is enjoying a salary at Ottawa, and no one supposes that he is (as some one suggested he would be) under the thumb of the govern- ment, The World opposed the salary in thie case, and insinuated some bad effects, but they have not been realized, - The men who, like Messrs.
