The Finance De partment seems to have changed for the better, at least, as far as practical results show, and the Oppositionist has yet to appear who can point to any ocher Department where the same statement is not equally true.

The statement (l tl e C. P. ll. land sales " the first nine months of this year are just as indica- tive ot'the. lupid strides with which the country is opening up. In law the Company disposed of 48.234 gen s ot'its land during the fimt nine months i ofthat year, the price obtained being $168,406 and in the first three-quartets of man, 114.496 acres were sold for the total ot $383,281, but this year up to Sept. 30th. no lese an area than 288, 395 acres has been disposed of for the total of $930, 974.

Mr. Foster evidently im- agines that Canadian electors have mighty short memories. Moreover, in spite of unusual and unexpected ex- loss. and a dozen other pre election undertakings which have been faith- fully carried out during the brief two years that the Government have been in power. He declared that the two things upon which the next election would he decided (decided of course in a‘manner, favorable to the Opposition) Were "the honest square policy of the Conservatives and the disregard of principle shown by the Liberal party since its advent to power." Two Policies Compared. Ot'tllelntterenough has been said above ; asto "the honest Square policy" Mr. Foster gn re no pttrtiettlars, possib- ly he was thinking of the Langevin Block mu_lChwron Bridge steals, the Section B and Caron scandals, the Sheik's Island Dam, the Galops Chan. nel and Little Rapids Lock jobs, and a score of other boodling scandals which wr-rc unearth and admittedly proved, ahsoltttely, not by irresponsible news. paper investigation but by the sworn The formal opening of the new Con- servative head quarters in this city on Thursday night was made the occasion of a characteristic address by the Hon.

He de. clared the Liberal party and failed to keep ante election promises, but in this connection omitted to call atten l tion to the repeal of the Franchise Act, l the radical remodelling of the civil service superannuation scheme, the taking of the plebiscite, the tariff re- ductions, the rushing ot the work on the St. Lawrence Canal, the reorgan- ization of several departments which are now ran at a profit instead of " a OUR OTTAWA LETTER their with and hard To mwmn'ngn new sulrstti!ters to these two grout journals wr' oihu. both from dan- In Janis: "o, fur $1.50.

" Just One Little Spasm, By the way there Was one little spasm the other day in the Mail- Empire, where a paragraph appeared to the effect that the Minister of the Interior, having pretty well provided tor all his relatives, had now arranged for the entryof his brother into the North Wcst Assembly. Of course the fact, in this instance. Mr. A. T. Silton contested the seat held by the leader of the Opposition. a gentleman who had sat in the House from the beginn- ing and was regard as one of its fix. tapes. all this counts lor nothing with the dear old Mail. ht any rate the electors seemed to be well pleased with the oppm'tnnity afforded them to return a relative of the Minister of the Interior (seeing the opposition insist upon puttingit that way) though as a matter of fact any unbiased observer knows that the candidate was elected on his own merits and not on his fans ily connection. £1,250,000 cufngpfi 's Nlii00ll8,Wliihk, " T DISEASE) was a“ NO CURE- N0 PAY g" Already indications are appearing that the time of Parliament wiilbe much occupied next Session with the consideration of numerous enterprises looking towards the furtheropening up and developing ot the gold fields.
