We are pleased to note that our own member, Mr. M. K. Rich- ardson, was the first speaker to come out boldly in opposition to the expen-' diture, and as we give his remarks in full from the Hansard we do not think it necessary to go into an extended i comment, more than to say that we gagree with him that “we have much 2 more practical things to give our at- ; tention to.” The following is Mr. L Richardson’s address, and we think it ‘ contains a good deal of practical com- Kl U [1108 88089.. THE ADDRESS : speakers who have addressed it, and I have n0° doubt that the encomiumsi that have been bestowed on Captain Bernier are Well deserved, but it does not necessarily follow, because we rec- ognize his courage, daring, skill and general fitness for an enterprise of this kind, that we should give encour- agement to an enterprise fraught with so much danger and having so little practical utility in view. ‘Vhen we look at the history of polar enterprise in the past we must concede that it has been one long sad story of disaster suffering and loss. Nothing so far has been attained. The loss of Franklin and his crew, the voyage of Captain McClintock in search of Franklin, the expeditions of Scoresby, Kane, Greely and others down to Nansen and'the ill-fated Andree. fill out a long story of disaster and intense suffering. \Vhat is gained by it all? \Vhat is proposed to be gained for Canada by this enterprise? Nothing more than empty fame: and I hold that at this period of our country’s history this is not something that we should strive very hard to attain to. We have much more practical things to give our at-i ‘ tention to. It has been urged that it‘ i might add largely to the territory of I l Canada; but I hold that additional territory is not one of the pressing s wants of Canada. \Ve have now more ' i territory than we know anything about. \Ve have large regions pract- ically unexplored and as yet untrodden by the. white man. If our attention is given to utilizing what we have with- out aiming beyond that it Will result in greater benefit to the people of Canada. There are immense fields of enterprise opening up in this country in all directionsâ€"enterprises that are full 3! promise and practical utility for this new country, and that ofler re- wards in more certain than polar ex- peditl'ons. as \Vhat advantage would accrue to| this country, even supposing the North Pole were discovered ? Would it bring us more immigration? Would it at- tract more capital? Would it open up new avenues for trade and commerce ? Is there anything practical to be got‘ out of itâ€"anything except empty fame? I am not denying that some practical results trom a scientific point of view might beattained, but we have not reached that period of our history when we can afford so much attention to questions of this nature. There are ‘ many other practical questions with which we have to deal. It is said that the discovery of the North Pole would he a great advertisement for this coun- try. \Vell. we unfortunately have too much advertisement of that character §â€"too much advertisement of Canada I l l I t I I l i I I i i as Our Lady of The. Snows. \Vhat we require to do is rather to dispel the yrnm'amce which exists regarding Can- ‘6 ada’s present territory and her climate, resources and prmluctions. In doing ’this. we would be doing something which Would produce practical results. I need not. mention the hundreds of openings there are for practical enter- prise in this countcyâ€"openings in all directions. ‘Ivcrywhere appeals are l . made for goverzunent asSIstance to i legitimate enterprises. I quite admit that to mm who have. a surplus of ill:!; to max who have a surplus of' Wealth. the prujwt n1" (‘ziptziin Bernim' is an interestingone. anxl by all means let them expend some of their surplus| Wealth upon it. In other countries, . such us Great Britain and other 1311-; ropean countries. which have exhausted ‘ at home all new avenues for enterprise this scheme may he a ligitimate one on which to spend government moneys. But in Canada I think there are far more pravtieal ohjer-ts demanding our {attention and lying Tight Within our reach. Appeals are made to this gov- ern ment again and again forassistance, which the government does not feel warranted in granting, extensive as ' are our resources. I did notintend to isay but a few words on this subject, and I would only add that we should not forget that in contributing out of the national exchequer to a scheme of this kind, we are voting the mOney of the poor as well as the rich, the money ' of the toileras well as the money of the man of amuence. I do not'seehow we can well defend an expenditurefol this kind. which can only result, at the best, in. our acquiring a little empty fame, and which is far more likely to have the same fate that; other similar enterprises have suffered, and furnish another and story of a nation’s folly. Will the honest electors of Ontario submit to such disgraceful methods? The “ Globe” by defending such out- rages on public morality advances the strongest possible argument for defeat- w -v--°___ ing Ross. When the leading organ of the Liberal party endeavors to educate the young men of Ontario to counten- ance crimes which should have sent the perpetrators to jail, it is time for parents and young men of honor to resent the insult and degradation. John M. Davis comes out in East and ' Centre Grey as an Independent Candi- date against Mr. Lucas. There is a strong suspicion of an underhanded Grit alliance, though some of the latter party deny the existence of any agree- ment. It is known, however, that John M. as soon as he became the self constituted candidate, sent a message immediately to a prominent Grit in Clarksburg, and the cat has been let out of the bag. Such conduct, how- ever, is not sanctioned by the better element of the Liberal party, and only the rankest kind of Grits can help to carry John M. into the local legisla- ture. Let not such men be trusted. The “Toronto Globe” is endeavor- ing to prove tha)’the Ross government is wholly innocent of any wrong-doing in so far as ballot burning, ballot box stuffing and other machine methods are concerned. On June 26th, 1899, Donald McNish, Mr. Ross’s candidate in ‘vVest Elgin, confessed over his own signature: that persons in the employ of the Liberal party were sent into his riding to secure his election by fraud- ulent and corrupt means; that such persons acted as deputy returning offi- cers without authority and in the names of reputable local men; that grave irregularities were carried on in many of the polling subdivisions of the riding; that large numbers of per- sons were brought into the riding to act as impersonators, and did person- ate qualified voters and cast ballots} for Mr. McNish; that the declared number of votes for McNish largely exceeded the number of bona fide votes cast for him ; that many votes cast for Mr. McDiarmid, the Conservative can_ didate, were manipulated in a nefari- P ous and corrupt manner ; that agents ‘ of Mr. McNish concealed in their homes the criminals who were paid large sums of money in return for the crimes committed. The generosity of Hon. G. “7. Ross, when it comes to giving away the property of the people of Ontario, is amazing. To Mr. N. W. Rowell, a di- rector of the Toronto Globe. a paper that is calling upon heaven and earth to bear testimony to the righteousness of the election crimes of paid Reform heelers, was given 2,500 square miles of pulp lands. Other Ross camp fol- lowers were equally lucky and the dis- tribution of pulp limits aggregates 15,660 square miles. In Quebec pulp- Wood lands sell for $25 to $66 per square mile with an unusual rental of $3 per square mile and a stumpage charge of 40 cents per cord. The Quebec government derives a large percentage of its revenue from this‘ source. Quebec, would have been $1,990,000 better off by disposing of the pulp lands which Mr. Ross saw fit to give aWay. Moreover, when a man or company pays for land, there is a guarantee that it will be developed to the utmost. The same cannot be said of the millions of acres of pulp lands which have been handed over to the. friends of the Liberal party in Ontario. \\'ill the people stand for such unbusi- nesslike methods ? \Ve do not think they will, and we hope May 20th will Fsee Mr. J. P. “'hitney returned to “power, in order that such deals may l he no more. (‘onneil Chambers May 5, 1002. I Council met at regular meeting. Members present: N. McIntyre, Esq., Mayor: Alex.

The New Free Consumptlve Helpltal Will Admit Consumptlven Absolutely Withoutmharge. The appeal being made on behalf of the new Free Consumptive HOSpital, built under the ausPices of the National Sani- tarium Associationâ€"the first Free Con- sumptive Hospital in Canadaâ€"is one that touches closely the heart-strings of every 'vuv-nwâ€" 'vvâ€" man, woman, and child the broad Domin- ion over. Where is the community, far or near, without its suflerers from this dread white plague? We are all in- terested in bringing these relief and re- storing them to health, family, and active citizenship again. One important step in this direction has been taken in the erection of the new Free Consumptive Hospital, due to the beneficence of two Toronto citizens. and which is now nearly completed. “hen the workmen go out of the building, and that will be almost immediately, all that is wanted to make it ready to receive the consumptive is that it be supplied with beds and other furnishing appointments, no charge whatever being made for admittance. The National Sanitarium Association are already carrying too heavy a debt to undertake the furnishing themselves, but the way is open for each one to help in raising the $0,000 needed for this purpose. The sum is not a large one. Ten thousand individual contributions of $1.00each out of a population of nearly 6,000,000 peeple would accomplish this end. Some, of course, with their hearts racked by the sufferings of relatives, friends, or fellow-citizens, will. outof their abundance, do hotter than this. Fifty dollars Will furnish a lied. \Vhatis needed is that the amount be raised quickly. that the many knocking at the doors of the National Sanitarium Association may find a place open for them. ‘. AA Contributions for this purpose, $1.00 or more, will be received by Sir Wm. B. Meredith, Chief Justice 4 Lamport Ave... Toronto; W. J. Gage, Esq. 54Front St. \Vest, Toronto; or National Trust Co. ., Limited, Treasurer, 22 King St. East, Toronto.
