HIS SPIRIT LIVES. There are some reflections which follow the death.of the late Sir William Van Horne, and they are of the greatest inspiration to the world. He made the most of his opportun- ities. He was not born into great- ness. He was not helped along bv the pull of influential friends. He rose to influence and power upon his merits. He made xood in any posi- he occupied. He was successful because he used his time and talents fully, and until the end of his life. Sir William had time for many interests. He had, in his railway connections, as the head of the C.P.R, System, and during its con- structive period, enough for an aver- age man. But he had a mind for many 'other things, and was one of the busiest and best men of his day. He made way for others, as they qualified to follow m his foot-steps and assume his responsibilities, He was "wise "jn his day and generation and so did not retire from ail the activities of life and rust out and die prematurely. Right up to the last hour he was a useful man, and he certainly wrote his name large in the 0 | popular { with them the dangers of the hour. { { One reads of the German officers {shielding themselves behind a screen | | of women, or of prisoners, or-uf sol- | diers, and driving them on in battle | with threats and thongs. These | German officers are reported to have | fired upon their own men, or fired at | them, while they skulked behind, and of course their losses must be light. The British army despises sort of fighting, and British officers will never be guilty of participating in it. MORE ABOUT RATES, The Civie Commission dependéd upon the judgment Sof . the | Electric Commission' in 2uggesting | new power rates, and it has been embarrassed more than enough by the experience with the new The .Whig at the time suggested to the public officia's that a certain { area, or class of houses, or indus- tries, be taken into account and cal-| culations made as to how they would be affected -by the change. Before this could be done the Council sprang the referendufi upon the] people, seeking a #snap verdict | against the Commission, and the Commission in order to appease clamor had to accept the proposition on trial. The new domestic tariff means too large a reduction in revenue. | one altogether out of expectations, and one perhaps the plant cannot stand. In view of present conditions a reduction of 10 per cent. or 15 per cent. on the old rates would have satisfied the consumers, and it may be that there will have to be a return to this basis yet. The Com- the fullest and fairest trial, especial-| ly as the representatives of the Fin {ance Department, on their westetn| | trip, found eps wisre overwhe.m- | {Ing evidence in Javor of the change. | Of course, Hydro power in the west | and from Niagara, is very cheap and] sweeping reductions In the rates ara in order from time to time. The power consumers had 'their| hearing before the Civic Commission | on Monday, and some progress was | made towards a settlement of their grievances. It will be unpleasant tn understand, as they were told by the expert from Toronto, that at the old] rates they were being supplied with power at less than cost. They were induced to go into the experiment They were using steam or gasoline or gas power. Electricity was pre- | ferable, of .course, the cost being | reasonable. It can never be brought down tothe Tost of Hydro power in| the west and can never be made the! substitute for steam if the lower] charge is to be $32 or $35 per H. P.| The Hydro expert has suggested | that the consumers be shown the utmost consideration while the Pro-| vincial Commission makes further experiments. All the consumers, with' more than one motor, will be asked to estimate the maximum pow- | er which they use, and a special rate! will be made for them by reducing! the monthly rating for overhead char- | ges. The adjustment will be made] after the use of the Maximum.

Rat Hole Diplomacy. s Weekly Last March it excited some com- ment that the German Government raised about. $25,000,000 in this country by selling war bonds and short-term treasury notes. What for? It could not be safely sent to Germany nor could it be used to fin- jance the export of war materials to that country. The question seems to have been, answered by the New York "World's" eclamorous exposure of what is probably the clumsiest and dirtiest propaganda-ever under- | taken in the United States. The detgils given put are only confirma. tion of what has been generally thonght.

Four hundred of- ficers 'have been killed and a great many have been wounded. This sort of thing, says our contemporary, has been reported from the western They represent 'condi- tiong which circumstances do not jus- tity.

To throw away a life like theirs is a " kind of treason. +pass judgment upon them. it represents are. not wanting The British oMcers lead their men, and in so doing "show themselves deficient in common sense." Only the most stupid reverence for tradition," says the Post Standard, 'can see in it anything but wanton injury to thé British cause."

Some of Kingston's engineers, at! the front, could have been employed In the munition factories and head: quarters' offices, and they preferred to serve their country in the field. A splendid =pirit and one worthy of all praise. The 59th Battalion does not like the idea of sending away from time to time some of its best men while it goes on recruiting.
