Java is not the only neighbour that has been causing trouble. Mongolia, a dependency of China, has declared its independence. It was sub- missive enough so long as the Manchu government ruled. When it surrendered Mongolia rebelled. It appears to have been cited to this action by Russia, which has undertaken to play the friendly part. Hartless as Russia has been, it is said by the Mongolians that they would prefer its government because an absolute monarchy than China under republican rule. The provisional government sees the wisdom of nipping in the bud the re- volt of the: dependencies, and within the next few weeks there will be nota- ble doings. Kingston has as good laws for the goveinment of the city as any muni- cipality, it is presumed, in Ontario, The consolidated laws which were is sued a few years ago, after a re- the repre- vision which was very much to credit of the city solicitor, sents, in legal phraseology, all the authority which can be desired, and fittingly and clearly expressed. There had been, through the work of a spe- cial some years ago, a division ofslabour so far as the offi committee cials were concerned. A certain number of by-laws were assigned to the police department, the head of which supposed to see, among other things, that the people get the proper weight when they are 18 buying bread and coal. There may be some explanation of why the coal men and the bread men and others have escaped the inspection so long, and there may be an explanation as to why the little activity of the po- lice force in one week, or one day, has produced such a commotion, The result of this excitement must ,the Charities and poor societies how dif- ficult iv is for some people to meet the conditions the winter season, and live decently, Many ctses could be died where, but for the relief which is rendered, the suffering of the ppor would be intenge. lhe circum- stanoes would be infimitely worse but for the extent to which some thrilty women are able to supplement the earnings of their husbands. Of course the family realizes what this means. The enforced absence of the mother makes against the home lile and all that it implies. The children miss the parental care they so much need, Some of them miss the schévling they can not have because they are kept at home to nurse the baby or protect the smaller ones, 2 Winnipeg has had an experience There the charities The Associated of the city know of of its own, have agers and members met to" discuss the situation, The result of that meet- ing will not be forgotten.

Our laws must be enforced, and with some degree of vigour and impartiality. Kingston cannot afford, in these revival times, to continue village life in any form and to any .extent. It is for the po- lice commissioners to enquire why the laws that have been transferred to the police department have not been enforced. The coal and wood and milk men are not the only people, who need attention, and they may not be so much at fault after all. The trial of the coal cases will establish all the facts. To-day a Whig representative saw half a dozen dogs untagged on Prin Cess street. Several of them chased after every. vehicle that passed them, and barked and snapped most vicious. ly. There is a by-law which demands the licensing of these dogs or the annihilation of them. Why should the citizen he pestered with vagrant curs? Go to' any city--mark the phrase, any place calling itself a city--and note that not a dog can be found running at large. Must King- ston's reputation suffer through the inactivity of any official ? DEMANDS A LIVING WAGE. r------ the mother, and freqdently the older children, to augment, by @ontinuaj and exacting labor, the pitifally in- sufficient eeraings of - the husband, at best not more than $12 or $13 a week, and in the winter time often considerably less. As one speaker forcibly stated, for these classes ex- istence in the winter is nothing less than a continual fight with the cli- mate, and al! too frequently a hope- less fight. The demand ng followed for this liv- wage, but how to secure it was the question, Education would do something, appeals to reason would help iu the change; but only some kind of compulsion, back of which stood the stale and ts Power, could make men realive the claims of humanity, imately a committee was appoint- ed to secure further inlormation and report to a meeting to be held in the near future, at which a definite plan of action be outlined and suitable Steps taken to secure the interest of fhe government, the municipality, and ali sympathizing with the object view towards the solution of problems touched upon at this liminary discussion.

Manitoba Free Press. lH the arrangement for the settle ment between the dominion and Mani- toba. goes throught as announced, it is plain that after the outstanding pay- ments due the provincial treasury from ties who have purchased provincial ands have all been paid, in the course of a few years, then this province will cease to have any revenue whatever from lands. On the other hand, the annual subsidy which the province will receive from the dominion treasury in lieu of lands will be some $400,000 more than it receives under the pres- ent arrangements, amount of money which has come into the provincial treasury, year by year, since 1900 from provincial lands, is shown in the following state- ment : 1901 | 1902 1903 .... 1904 | 1905 1906 900... 1908 1909 1910 ...|. . 446,752 . 543,788 ... 463,254 . 427,867 241 16,260 arrangements, Total ..... .... If the proposed new a8 announced, becomes gn accomplish- ed fact, the outstanding payments due on provincial lands already sold will be the only land revenue accruing to the provincial treasury, as the pro- vince will have no land to sell. The lands will be taken over by the do- minion. The continuation of the above table for the years to come will thus show a tapering down until, in ten years, the vanishing point is arrived at. Then Manitoba will cease to real- ize revenue from lands. But the provincial governments in power in those coming years will have to grapple with the problem of how to make provision for the heavy ex- penditure that will be necessitated by the administering of that immense ter- ritory to the north that is to be add- ed to Manitoba--a territory greater in extent than the province as it stands to-day. Roads will have to be built, and bridges constructed: there will be, on a far iarger scale, the problem that is presented now by the portion of the province betweerd the lakes, which is calling so insistently for Necessary ex- penditures. The aspect of the propos- ed arrangement is one that calls for serious thought now by all who have Manitoba's future welfare and progress at heart, WHITNEY CALLED DOWN Hon. Mr. Mackay on the Manitoba Boundary Line. Toronta Globe, Nothing could more effectively em- phasize Ontario's lack of able advoca- ¢y in the boundary negotiations than Hon. A, G. McKay's speech of Mr. Rowell's resolution. In cogency of argument, in complete citation of facts, in grasp of legal and ethical principles, in vigor, force and elo- quence, the contrast with the Premier's two defensive addresses was impressed on every member in the legislature and every visitor in the galleries. The se- rious aspect of weakness in the cahin- et is now shown in the practical re- sult of the weak and negligent presen- tation of a strong case at Ottawa and the consequent victory of Manitoba. Sir James Whitney emphasized again and again the fact that the Laurier government decided in favor of a boun- dary diagonally across the hinterland of Ontario to Hudson Bay. Against this decision a claim while emphasiz- ing the weakening admission that the Province had no legal right to the territory in dispute, The provincial government also emphasized the posi- tion that the dominion was giving the land to the provinces, and a gift horse must not be looked in the mouth. % Hon. Mr. McKay did not say or in- sinuate that the Ontario government weakened its plea so that a defeat with consequent loss of territory could be made into political capital against the Laurier government. His more charitable conclusion was no doubt correct that the feeble presentation of Ontario's case was merely a result' of general weakness. That weakness was as conspicuously apparent in the de- bate as nthe final division of the territory by the dominion government. While Manitoba has been creating pub- lic sentiment and memorializing every member of the dominion parliament the Ontario government has been idle and indolent. It was an issue on moral and not legal claims, and the creation 5f a strong and sound opibion was vital to the final decision. The Ontario government violated the most ele jmenitary rule of legal practice in talk- ing law when having a moral case. Laurier government was willing DR.
