In the late lieutenant govarnog of Ontario, Sir Oliver Mowat, Canada hyd the honor of giving to thQVEm-l pire one of its ablest and puiat statesmen. ' â€"-- A nun-oat It was much that. constitutional lawye islator, but far more that he Was a man of unblemished character. In that he leaves to the public megmoi the province an example of what they most need, for the lack ofihese‘ days is not so much ability as upâ€" rightness. That with his Puritan ideas he became the record officehol- der of the Empire, is a large lesson tp the shifty, trickster politician who is so much in vogue to-day. No doubt Sir Oliver was a son of {ortuntu He was a lucky man. To few is it given to attempt so much may prizes in the lottery of life. But he was a worthy winner and bore honorably his successes.‘ He Was fit to be entrusted with. .the' best things and often their coming was quite as much the result of=his‘ own skill as of fate's cornmand. Through a ion-g career he was true to his own endowments and the confidence of‘his iellowmen. The remembrance of his life, and deeds will not soon fade, nor the fragrance of his name dch along career endowments E fellowmen. 1 life, and dee‘ nor the ffag- part. As And leave There are good reasons Why :this town should not make any consider- able grant to the Ross Memorial Hospital, but that urged by some alderman the other night is not (me of Lh‘em. These aldermen objected beCaUS:} everybody could not, get in- diqent’s rats at the hospital. No weaker and more inconsistent g‘round could be taken. To refuse to pay a deficit hemuse the rates were not so low as to make it a good deal big- ger one is certainh not a display of the wisdom an alderman ought to have. “hen a man with sufficient property to qualify for a town counâ€" cillor duel-axes that, unless he can be treated at the hospital for less than ha}: of cost price, he is not an “mum m‘ admiration. Why an hos: than half of cost price, he is not an oijct of admiration. Why an 1108-. pit-(11 should make people paupers within its walls who are property- owners outside of them is hard to see. Thegma-intenanCe of reasonable rates is the hoslfital‘s only defence against total dependence on gifts,and the Board of Governors are to be complimented on the policy they have laid down in this respect. We think, in fact, that ii‘all patients treated at the expenSe of municipal- ities were charged at least the cost of their maintenance, it would be better than charging less than that and coming to the municipalities for a direct grant. It, would be more businessâ€"like and add. immensely to }0€S the independence and self-respect of the hospital. Why should it be re- quired to ask as charity that for which it has in reality given full value ‘? Charity Will begin soon enough and have evils enough with- out. being begun before it needs to be. There is no escape from paying in some way the cost of maintaining the patients, and in so far as the municipalities are concerned, the more business-like their method of payment the better. Charging the town less than the cost of maintain- ing its patients there ,can serve no purpose unless as an excuse for ask- ing the town for a lilyeral grant, and leverage of that sort is neither pleasâ€" ant nor efl‘ective.
