Bome Exchanges proposed! Yukon "airs, Mr. Gumw’s appointment. The ioke of the week, and indeed “Several weeks. has been the recep- tion given in some quarters to a pro- posal made by Sir Jae. Edgar in a letter to the Globe last Monday, in which he refers to the proposal oi Sen- ator Chandler of New Hampshire that the United States should hand over the Philippine Islands to Great Britain receiving the. Dominion of Canada in return. The only proviso that occurs to Senator Chandler as necessary to qualify this modest proposition being that Canadians thmnsdves should be Willing. "which" he adds, "they won will be." After go: (l-naturcdly hunt- erlng the worthy Senntw, Sir Jumps Blgnr humm'ously [relaxes :mntin-r exchange viz r---Jouvttico, for the Son- ator's own State of New Hampshire, adding that no doubt the New thun. shh'itcs Would be just as agreeable to the chahgc as the Canadians, in the previous proposal. 5 Khan: or Fool. How anyone, reading the letter could hare taken it seriously, or in;- agined that there was anything but good natured banter in the letter, passes eo1nprehenssiov,. llut apparent- ly some intelligent Montreal corres- pondent of' English papers has bren badly fooled, for he cabled his pap I' the item in all seriousness. and the suggestion is indignantiy repudiated, in the Old Country as it unquestionably should be if serious. The English pipers are notto blame, ior they ap- pirently have been entirely misled, but it is difficult to get away from the iinpressimi that the Montreal CON'es- pondent is either a knave or a fool, or what is even possible, both. Of course one or two Canadian ODDUSiiiUH papers led by the Mail, have followed along the same lines, it suits their purpose to pretend to believe that the Speaker of the Commons was serious. This enn- ltention hurts nobody, however, and if ‘ it amuses them it is an innocent pastime. He Says Its "All Rot." There is a lull just now in the tor. rent ofcharges against the AdillilliS-i tration and its oitieials at the gold) tields, whether because the alarmists have exhausted themselves or have at length realized how little effect their fulminations Were having upon public opinion. it is unnecessary to discuss. It is however interesting to notice Captain 1Iealey'sviews after fourteen years experience in the Yukon, the last half of which has been spent at Dyea, Skagway, and Dawson. lIe declares that the stories of bribery &e against the omeials are "all rot." lie has nothing bat good to say of ex- Commissioner Fawcett, "I never saw a: man in my lite" said Captain Heady, “who kept his head so well, and though he had bitter enemies, I non-r I heard him accused of dishonesty,” and “I wonder he did halt as Well as he did." As to the charge ol undue favor- itism and so iot'rh, the Captain ab. :olutely asserts that there was none to his knowledge, and situated as he was, he would be among the list to benctit, had any such been gun g. Bat, Captain llculy explains, what did happen “as that he, amongst others, found that Mr. Fawcett had LO sattieient time to make oat Abstracts of titles tor use in sales ot claims in which he was interested, and he paid the clerks to make out these abstracts in their own time. That was done irequently and was the cause ot the complaints. The Sole Cause of Trouble. A similar explanation applied to the complaints against the Poet thm e. "Ridiculous charges,” Captain Healy said had been made, and he farther characterized them as “simply rot," He never heard of anything like brib- ery among the Mounted Police. 'Slow, over-taxed, and over-worked they might have been," "I never saw men in my life do so much work for so little money" he added. As the Captain explained in general critisism of the whole situation," the sudden awcsszcn of population from a couple of thousand to twenty or thirty thousand in a. _ territory where rapid communication l with head quarters was impossble L would demoralize any organization, it was the sheer physical inability to keep up with the tremendous increase of work that. caused all the compla me against the oftieials, The staffs ol t e various departments have been gutti b ently augumented since, and now th t the cause for complaint has been re.. moved everythtng is working smooth- ly. All of which fully satxcantiatetr the contention of all other unbiased ob. servers, 3%"?- OUR OTTAWA LETTER. Can't Please Them Anyway. The old sehool-hoy principle, "E ' ' 'Heads T I win, tails you lose.” largely predom- inates in the Opposition criticism of the appomtment of Mr. Gan-ow of Goderich an. member ofthe Ontario Govern- ment. A legitimate vacancy occurred through the retirement of the late member for Ottawa, ch. lil. H. Bron. ion, some one had to fill it, lor even if there were any grounds for the cou- tention of the Opposition, that there was no necessity for the appointment, it hurts nobody. as there is no salary attached. Mr. Garrow is not only in every respect as thoroughly Wcll rpoalified as any member of the House, but it was universally understood for months past that he was the next for cwbinet promotion. His appointment is announced at the moment he IS seek. ing reelection at the hands of his con stituents, consequently the endorsatitn which. while not required by law whvn tlwro are no emoluments, is gen emlly sought by custom, (could be given or witrdicld. Tlw opposition prpel'sat oncvdwlaw that the "e p"intlm:nt is made just now, for He sale purpo§e of adding prestige to Mr. Garrow's c'uulidaturo, it it had becn withheld till after his election, they would have howled their exeeratiot 5 upon the Government, declaring that it was afraid to seek cndorsation of the appointment. sothe1t ls no pleasing them anyway, ovd after all, Is it worth while trying to do so ?
