He told the electors in clear cut language his attitude on the questions. The ¢li- mdx of the evening, however, vas reached when Rev. John Bennett An derson, a Church of Englanl min- ister, rose to his feet and called out with passionate energy: I have been a Conservative all my life, but 1 can no longer keep silent. Mr. Dewart is right in what he says about nickel. | knew it ever since the war commenced. Canadian nickel has been going to Germany and it bas been coming back from Germany to Canada in the dead and mained bodies of the boys we have sent to the front." The scene that followed beggars description. The audience drose en masse, cheering wildly. Many sur rounded the venerable \Crergyman and fairly carried him to the pla.- form.

New York is going to spend $150,- 000,000 just to hide the unsightly tracks and coal sheds of a steam rall- way alongside beautiful Riverside Park Drive. The railroad company has agreed to spend $300,000 to make certain changes such as mov- ing away a high coal shed, and tun- neling under the hill on top of which stands Grant's tomb. The railroad has also agreed to do away with _steam locomotives along that stretch of road and use noiseless and 'clean electric engines instead. ; A model four hundred feet long has been built to show how the tracks will be hid from view of persons on the dr In places the tracks will be roofed over with acres of steel and concrete upon which earth will 'be put and Jawns and gardens laid out and trees and flowers planted. ! These alone will surpass in extent and beauty the historic hanging gar- : dens of Babylon, that were one of * the seven wonders of the warld. New York is doing this because she has learned that beauty is one of the ~ greatest assets a city can have, and that it is worth spending $150,000, soners, and the seaman whose crime was that he did his duty as he saw it? And has' it paid the militarists to carry off to Germany some thousands of French girls and young women un- der circumstances and for purposes which have called forth the solemi protest of the Pope? Has their use "lot liquid fire and poisonous gases paid? Did the Lusitania atrocity pay them, or the sadistic carnival of lust and cruelty in Belgium? Does any oneé believe that, human nature be- ing what it 1 these infamies will not be paid for, not in kind perhaps, but in a more relentless prosecution of the war, more rigorous peace condi- tions and trade boycotts when the fight with guns is at an end? Pro- bably the merciless men and nations always lose more than they gain, and bring their own destruction on them when passion overrides compassion and reason yields to wrath, THE BURDEN OF THE WAR. £. T. McGrath, who is the presi- dent of the legislative council of Newfoundland, writes to the Review of Reviews of the wonderful things Canada has doné during the war. This great disturbance of the world's international business found Canada, like Britain and France, and all the other Allled powers, unprepared But the call to arms was followed by extraordinary developments. In Oec- tober, 1914, this dominion sent 30,- 000 troops across the sea; in the spring of 1915 the number had in- creased to 60,000; at the end of a year there were 90,000 men in the service, or more than the mother country sent into the Crimea; at the end of a year and a half 120,000, or twice as many as the United States sent into the Spanish war; and in April, 1916, the Canadian army had swelled to 310,000, or a larger army than Britain sent to South Africa during the four years of the Boer war, and a larger" army than she sent into France at the beginning of the present struggle. : Mr. McGrath pays a high compli- ment to Canada's treatment of her soldiers, in the matter of pay and care, and to the efficiency they had shown. in all the engagements in which they had participated. In the matter of finances, 'the coyntry has assumed great responsibilities. The public debt was $336,000,000 in the year before the war. In February, 1917, it will probably. be $830,000,- 000, and when the war is over, if it ends next year, the debt will be at least $1,000,000,000. This means an annual interest tax of $60,000,- 000, and a pension tax of $20,000,- 000, a total of $70,000,000, or about half of the ordinary expenditure for all the public services in 1914. In anticipation of the strain of the war an appeal was made to the farmers in \1915, and they respond- ed with a will. The crop of 1914 was a failure. In 1915 over 37,000,- 000 acres of land was tilled, and the productions were valued at over a billion of dollars, or 50 per cent. more than was received for the pro- ductions of 1914. 'The industrial facilities were also Increased in order to meet the demand of the hour. Last year's exports were returned at $600,000,000, and about half of this amount represented the materi- als carried by war orders. Interest in the article centres in that part of it which deals with what will happen after the war. There will be less export, because there will be no more war orders; there will be less imports, because our soldiers will be home to provide for their own wants. For a few years there will be greater business' activ- ity, during the reconstruction in Europe, and then will come the period of greatest danger.

Canada has anticipated the future in railway construction. It has the land, however, and it will be occupied by the agriculturists of foreign lands. The centre of govern- ment will be shifted from Ontario to the prairie provinces and bilingu- alism will have ceased to agitate the people, for there will be a perfect babel of languages. One more the naval question will become an issue.

Of course this involves. co-operation with the admiralty, and these and other great subjects will call for statesmen who will be equal to the demands of the hour.

THE HOBO The hobo is a modest member of society who is too proud tc work aw to tired to bathe. One of the mo: refined acts of cruelty that can be perpetrated is to lead a confirmed hobo up to something that iooks like work or a shower bath and watch him faint dead away. The hobo is usually somebody who ran away from home in early youth in order to escape pailing a few cows or hoeing the potatoes. This tendency could have been re- moved at the proper time by love and a careful cowhiding, but the chances are that tha hobo's patents thought they were rearing apiece of mural decoration instead of a human derelict. The home where the children are g&pected to perform a few acts of kelpful industry once in a while is a poor recruiting station for the hobo army. The hobo goes South in the winter and flits North in the spring, aloug with the bow-legged robin redbreast. Unlike the robin, however, he does not go North to work, but to rest. There is not enough rest being manu- factured at the present time to satisfy the cravings of two stout, prohibition hobos, to say nothing of those who have been resung ever since the Civil War. 'All over the North, in the summer-time, are to be able-bodied *hobos who are three- fourths appetite and one-fourth snore. Now and then the hobo will sally forth to the home of some kind- hearted housewife, who imagines she is entertaining an angei unawares, and return with bulging pockets and stomach. If it were not for the ten- der heart of woman the hobo would vanish off the face of the earth faster found cosy rest resorts inhabited by than the Progressive party. The hobo is a great traveler, and jumps from place to place just ahead of the town marshall.

Brantford Expogitor. The announcement that H. F. Gardiner, principal of the Ontario School for the Blind, has tendered his resignation of that high office in order to devote his time to literary pursuits, will not occasion surprise to those who know his training, his lifelong associations, and his special qualifications in that direction. At {the same time there will be genuine and widespread ;regret on the part of the people of Brantford over the probable loss of a distinguished citizen, and more especially one who has been devoted to the interests of the blind population of the province and has labored industriously to im- prove the means of instructing them, Before coming to Brantford Mr. Gardiner had acquired for himself a foremost place among the journal- ists and writers. of the province, and was also widely known as a public speaker. With more leisure at his command, and vigorous health, it is easy to predict for him many years of usefulness as he treads pathways with which he is familiar and which have always been to him a source of delight. It 'is gratifying to have Mr. Gar- .diner's. statement that his resig- nation was not prompted from any quarter outside his own family, and that his relations with the Depart- ment of education have been entire- ly satisfactory. It is to be hoped government will be guided by no other consideration then that of find- ing the 'man best fitted for a po- sition which requires tact, patience, and a sincere love of the work, in addition to administrative and edu- cational qualifications. The appeint- ment is not one of local patronage, and therefore the choice is by no means limited. wv . THE.
