He is not anxious | for an office, and for the very excel- | lent reason that he has a larger field | of usefulness outside of it. He is the | one man, too, who commands atten- | tion by his abiity. | He is not able to spend all his time | the house. He has had to go abroad on account of his health, and in connection with engagements of an imperial character. Some men of small in minds have misjudged him, and said things of him that were not deserved. He has returned to his place, how- ever, just when it was expedient that some one should giye a new turn to public discussions.

The facts have to come out. The scandal cannot be suppress- The Globe boldly charges crook- edness in with the case, and intimates that the plan is to keep the scandal under. cover until the lo- cal elections are over. The scandal was discussed at a pub- lic meeting in Fast York, by Mr. Cur- ed. connection He took all the conse quences of his statement. According to Dreany, on May 5th, 1905, he and his prospector tried to file a claim to Cobalt Lake, but were told that the government had not decided what to do with it. Then Chapin was taken into partnership by Dreany so that the claim might be filed. Afterwards Lamarche, a member of the. legisla- ture, was admiitted into the partner- ship, and the understanding was that if he should resign his seat the claims of the partnership to the lake would be considered, standing. Lamarche did resign, and Hon. Francis Cochrane, minister of mines, was elected in his place by acclamation. In Mr. Dreany hail stated the claim was recorded in pursuance with the illegal bargain, but in December, 1906, the government sold the claim for $1,085,000. Yet the government refused to allow the. in vestigation to proceed in the Public Accounts committee, and Chapin had refused to answer questions upon the June, advice of counsel The people can have their own con- clusion. The fact that the govern ment will not permit of a scrutiny of the records' justifies the conviction that a great wrong has been commit- ted, THE INFLUX OF CAPITAL. The Edmonton Bulletin has a most interesting estimate of the value of last year's emigration, or rather the emigration doring the seven months ending with October, for which com- plete returns have 'been had. There was spent in advertising--in spreading abroad information regarding the re- sources of our lands--the sum of $600, What a lot of money te go into printers' ink, some one will say. Yes, a lot of it, as money and its values are sometimes considered, But the advertising paid. During the seven months referred to there were 211.839 arrivals, At the modest sum of ¥30 éach--and the law requires that they have enough cash to pay their expenses to the point of destination--there would be a total of $10,550,000. Ot the newcomers, however, 39,000 were from the United States, and 'at least 5,000 of them sold their farms in the south to buy others in the north, and they carried an average of $5,000 each. Thus they collectively carried into Canada Shout. $40,000,900. The single persons, t , artisans and labourers, about 19,000, had an aver- age of $100 each, or a total of 81, 900,000. Thus the American contin gent had al about $41,900,000, The oi across . the ocean--numbered 108,000, all told, and as they had an average of $100 each their total money was $10,300,000. From all other sources there both sides of the house, and the opin. ion has become urgent that he should be giving his country the benefit of his judgment, Rumour has it that he has be:n ask- ed to take the direction of the trade and commerce department. Sir Rieh- ard Cartwright may be desirous of relief from its oversight, and the lib- eral party will remember him for his stalwart service. The government would, in that case, have a great advantage in the return to it and the house would have the abiding influence of his personality, which is strong and dominant and patriotic, -- EDITORIAL VIEWS, If there is to be a redistribution of the constituencies in 1910, what is the sense of a gerrymander now ?

In two recent cases Police Magis trate Clark has sentenced prisoners to a term of two years in the peniten- tiary at Kingston, and Sntimated that the punishment in part was for the crime of perjury, which the accus- ed had in the witness: box added to the original offence. In the Toronto police court, Col. Denison astonished a woman charged with keeping a dis- reputable house, by sentencing her to a term of six months in the Mercer The prisoner had insisted upon giving evidence in her own behalf, and the magistrate in naming the penalty, added, "that will cover the periury, too."
