The follow- ing story from Bucharest, if hue, would go far to prove that the al- mighty dollar has played a. leading part in the disaster that has over- taken the Ottoman arms: Office. “Turkey was sold to King Ferdin- and before he took th 1» field. He had. used part of his enormous private fortune through his agents in Con- stantinople to such efiect that not only was he in possession of the most treasured secrets of the Turkish war office, but he was assured of the mas- terly inactivity of some of the lead- ers of the Turkish forces.

After nearly two years experience in taxation and land values, exclusive of impro“ ements, Mr. Edwin C. Smith, of Victoria. (B. C.) wrote to the Tax Reform League of Eastern Canada: “As far as I can observe, there is no movement whatever in- this city toward going back to our previous method of taxation. Our land assessment value of 1912 was $25,156,095 in excess of 1911, and the improvement assessment rose from $13,491,780 in 1911 to $17,071,360 in 1912'. As Victoria is growing very raâ€" HON. G. E.

Mr. La- vergne was offered a cabinet position, but he declined. He now declares si cabinet members from Quebec, Pel- letier and Nantell he declares, have been bought by patronage and port- folios, and have forgotten their prinâ€" ciples. Mr. Lavergne, who was urged by Mr. Borden to enter the cabinet, has recently been summing up the bal- ance sheet between Great Britain and Janada, with the result, according to' him, that the balance is'very much against Great Britain. “What has 1‘ England done for us?” he asks.’ “They gaVe us the right to make our I own Commercial treaties. They ceded s to the United States Maine and Ver- mont because they were afraid of be- ing beaten by the United States. They ceded Oregon, Ohio, Illinois, Michigan, because they were afraid of being beaten by the» Americans. They ceded all the ports of Alaska within the last ten years, because they were afraid of- being beaten by the Ameri- cans.” He says many more things of similar import, and argues that the debt of gratitude is not from Canada -, to England but from England to - Canada. Evidently Mr. Borden want- . ed Armand Lavergne in the cabinet 3 to modify the enthusiasm of the v flag-flappers and ultra Tories, who 5 would have- “no truck with the Yank- V '1‘ 7n . ees.” Never, says the St. John Teleâ€" graph, in the history of Canada has there been such an agglomerate as , this unholy alliance by which Mr. .- Borden seeks to govern. It is kept 8 together, .in so far as it has held to- ‘_ gether, by the hunger for patronage.‘ Some one has written the cry of1 “The Bread Line” in the United States; it is what we have been hav- ing in Canada for the past thirteen months. This is it, changed to suit: We’re coming, Father-Borden, a hun- dred thousand strong; They’ve kept us out of office for iii- teen years too long. We’re hungry and we’re thirsty, but ,e n ie 3.. v )f n- as a manna you’ll supplyi; From messenger to cabinet the heads will surely fly. ‘ We’ve waited and we’ve waited to hear the big horn blow; And now we’ll feast on plenty while others eat the crow; From Sydney to Victoria, You’ll hear our battle cryâ€" We’re coming, Father Borden, we’re coming for our pie." There are not lacking indications that the cabinet may fall to pieces. It is possible that some ministers may put honor and principle before patron-age and pie, and when this happens they will follow the example of Mr. Monk, and get out. Even the most hardened politician cannot :11- ways succeed in making an accom- plice of his conscience. Disappointment and indignation will be felt throughout the Dominica that the Speech from the Throne has omitted all reference to the redistri- bution of the ridings consequent up- on the census of 1911. Ever since Con- federation it has been the practice to have a redistribution as nearly as possible the first session after the census. The desirability of the prac- tice is easily apparent. With the rapid growth of populaâ€" tion inequality in the principle of “rep by pop” always springs up be‘ tween each 'decennial census, and these inequalities have to be smooth- ed out by redistribution. The custom has been to lose as little time as possible. The reason is obvious. Parliament always has an uncertain tenure. At any time some crisis may develop demanding an immediate appeal to the country, as was sh’own in Great Britain, when two general elections took place within a year. Such a condition might arise at any time in Canada, and if no redistribution bill‘ is passed the election would haVe to be held under the old divi- sion, which Would practically distrau- c‘nise a con ider able proportion of the people ard be most unfair to rarts of the Don1i1 ion which haxe ad- parts of the Dominion which have aa- ded large numbers to their popula- tion. There is the less-excuse for this delay since the present census was taken in 1911 While this is the sesâ€" sion' of 1912-13. If no redistribution is mad-e at this sessicm it will there- fore probably be 1914 before any law can go into effect which will equalize mnmcnvntatinn (n a ju'st‘basis.

SECCOMBE Another old minister Was called to his eternal reward Sunday, December first in the personal Rev. Wm. B. Seccombe. Rev. Seccombe died prac- tically in harness, as it were, hav- ing been supplying at Dunsford till he was taken. with a. paralytic stroke. He was born sixty years ago at Gunnislake, Sornwall, Eng., being'the eldest on twelve children, six of} whom are still living. In his early days he came to Canada and before' his ordination spent a few years as missionary to the fishermen on the coast of Newfoundland, [{e was the fishermens’ doctor, lawyer and mis- sionary all in one. From there he moved to Sackville, N. B., Where he took his theological course at Mount Allison University, 1 returning afterward to Newfoundland, ‘where he was ordained in 1880 at Carbonear. Later he came to Ontario, and in 1883 married Miss Jennie Wilson, of Hastings. Shortly afterward he was sent as a. missionary to the extreme western coast of British Columbia, where he served for five years, doing noble work in that region. On account of the ill health of Mrs. Seccombe he was forced to return east and took up work in the Bay of Quinte Conference of the Methodist church. Among his many appointâ€" ments were Havelock, Carrying Place, Milford, Odessa, Greenbank, and Thomasburg, where. Mrs. Sec- combe died in 1906. Subsequently he, married again, taking as his wife ,Miss Nettie Faucett, of Sackville, N. ’3. They took up the work of Mar- mora. circuit, but on account of Rev. Seccombe’s ill health were forced to leave for an easier circuit, and went to Pontypool. In 1909 Rev. Seccombe was superannuated and came to live in Lindsay. He was thirty-five years in the work of the ministry, and eyed Iafter superannuation was ever ready Ito supply at dificrent pulpits and in other ways help along the cause of his Master. Of the immediate family, three surâ€" vive him, his wife, Mrs. Nettie Secâ€" combe, two sons, A. W. Seccom‘oe, manager of the Uniou Ban}: at Carâ€" roll, Man., and a. younger son, Ber- son Seccombe, besides an only daugh- ter, Mrs. (Dr.) H. A. Nesbitt, Bond- st. The funeral will be held from the residence of his son-inâ€"law, Dr. H. A. Nesbitt, Bond-st., on Tuesday, De- tember third at ten o’clock, and proâ€" ceed to the G.T.R. station.

Methodist church, Lindsay; Rev. Thos. Brown, Lindsay; Rev. Robins, Little Britain. Rev. Dr. S. J. Shorey will conduct the service at the house at 9.30 a. m., and the Oddfellows will follow the body to the station. The late Rev. Seccombe was a member of .the United Workmen, a Forester, a Mason and an Oddfenow, and there were many beautiirl floral tributes from his friends. Heat and ?owe§ An application has been made to the city of Vancouver by ten pron:- inent saw-mill owners for a. franchise to sell steam heat, and electric light and power generated by burning sawâ€" mill refuse. The application came im- mediately after the report of a com- mittee of the City Council dealing with the smoke and . saw-dust nuis- ance due to burning mill refuse in the city. - It is proposed to install plants for burning refuse at each of the various mills, thus permitting a wide zone of distribution and enabling steam heat to be furnished at much lower press- ure than from one central plant. The intention is to establish an auxiliary oildbu-rning apparatus at each mill for use in case of accident to the main plant and also whenever the supply of refuse runs low. The problem of disposing of refuse without a loss has conironteh mill owners for years and with coal sell- ing at $7.50 a ton retail in Vancouv- er, it is thought that this scheme for utilizing it will prove successful. It is estimated that these mills have 114,000 cords of refuse and sawdust to burn each year. The approximate cost of installing each burner is placed at $93,0f‘0, and the annual iron“: I: fluffy.
