Two inferences as it stood before its revision, namely, follow the proposal the senate began that the federal government desire to interfere in pro vincial affairs when political expe dieney suggested, and that in the distribution of federal bounty the in terests of the party will be duly con- sidered, The plea of 'the Montreal Gazette is A SQUARE DEAL SECURED. that provincial funds are wasted by provincial governments, and it is not desired to waste federal funds. Yet everything points to an expenditure under party machinery, and no one expects for a moment that it means economy or efliciency. The end will probably be that federal parliament will distribute bounty. as it does its subsidy the its money, according to" population.

The commission was of eight members, ists, and all composed them scient- of them believers in, if of, 'vivisection. The lobsided nature of the commission sug- gested that the report of it might be biased or partial, and W. T. Stead in advance pronounced it a failure and a farce. And lo and behold it is a prac- tical endorsement of what the vivisec- alleged.

Vivisection in monstration has been justified, and yet the commissioners appear to have given away the case. They have ad- mitted in their report about all that has been JLClaimed by the antis, name- ly, * 'that' certain results claimed from time to time have been proved by ex- periments upon living animals, and allezed to have been beneficial in pre- venting or diseases, have on further investigation and been found to be leas." © This report will strengthen the hands of the anti-vivisectionists in America, who have been protesting against some of the practices or experiments made by medical men the alleged interest of science, and with revela- tions of the most revolting kind. curing experience fallacious or use: in There was a revival of the dis cussion on reciprocity when the - re presentatives from Alberta and Sas katochewan appeared before the senate, and opposed the grain bill in ts present foem, The minister of trade had said in the com- mons that the bill was, in some spects, framed in order to meet the views of the grain growers of the west, but wile the measure was still and commerce re- commons the officers of the grain growers' as sociation appeared before the' com: mittee and for amendments which Mr. Fosterideclined to accept.
