The principal item under ,this latter hbead, which has materialâ€" ized this week has been the charge | made by Mr. Monk of Jacques Cartier |against the Militia Department of purchasing worthless emergency raâ€" tions for the South African contingents, | to which reference was made last week. When the worthy member | first launched his tirade against the | Minister ot Militia, he was evidently | not pl‘(‘pul‘cd for the very prompt man ner in which bhe was taken up by the | € | Modifying His Charges. So specific was the challenge that Mr. Monk had no alternative but to accept it and in due course his indictâ€" ment was presented. It was at once seen that the hon. member had most materially modified his accusations, for instead of fraud,. malfeasance of office, and sundry other high crimes and misdemeanors, which were either definitely charged or broadly insinuâ€" ated in his first harangue to the House, the most serious accusation that he dared definitely make against the Minister was one of "gross and culâ€" | pable negligence". But this is serious | enough of course, and the Governâ€" } ment. promptly implemented their | promise of a committee of in vestigation. ! The opposition now has one more ’ chance to squander public time and | money in a wild gocose chase after an | election ery : their success at this | sport has not been strikingly manifest | in tha nust it remains o be seen what Government, and promised his comâ€" mittee of inquiry if only he would lay before the House something detfinite to inquire into sport in the luck : ‘The ingenuity of Oppositionists is being seyerely taxed these days to discover those signs of disintegration in the ranks of the Tiberal party which are being so earnestly hoped for but which so obstinately refuse to manifest themselves.

So too, the intimaâ€" tion that the Minister of Customs may not offer bimself for reâ€"election in North Grevy, is taken as an indication that he fears the result of a contest t t] tenc that suff; fall vacant, by member, at the CGovernment, i by a majority biesest majori Tory time his 1 L V Humanity stands a greater chance of being ‘staggered" by Chinese atâ€" rocities, than by anything Oom Paal may or can do. The long suppressed hatred to "foreign devils" has found vent and as the native ‘devils‘ are not guilty of much diplomacy, their overâ€" whelming masses may in moments of madness crash the life out of the seattered European groups in their empire. A ‘‘Concert" of the Powers has again to be invoked, European no longer since Japan and the United States must be consulted, but before they can overawé¢ an Empire, not very responsive to its rulets rapine and bloodshed may violently rage. They dont‘t want us there and we don‘s wart them here, but what a position it is to be a "dying nation." If they weren‘t they would take a leaf out of Canada‘s book, and put a tax of $100 on every foreign devil entering their kingdom and thus make A financial profit out of them. _ If $1000 was necessary they could do it, but being a weak nation, exasperation leads to deeds of blood instead of deeds of diplomacy. @rC is predecessor over nt two months betore Late news report the taking of Taku forts by the Powers. _ These are on the sea coast.

Seemg none I venture to give my opimon as entirely in favor of the abolition of this wasteful system of road improvement. The British force besieged in As hanti on the West coast is in danger ous straits. Relief is pushing to their help. They have got to know Britain would like to be free to attend to China and their opposition is stiffened. The end is near however, and any day may come news of surrender. In an acquaintance of these roads for about 46 years I haye been a witness to the improvements, sometimes supposed imvrovements, made upon our roads, and it will scarcely be questioned that much has been done that had better been left undone, and much undone that was their duty to do,. _ Part of the gravel road between Durham and Hanâ€" over is not better than it was 40 years ago, though perhaps hundreds of days of Statute labor haye teen put on it, We pronounce against the old system. 1. Because while some sections do their duty others are very much deâ€" licient, consequently there is an inequalâ€" ity of burdens that is as unfair as it is unprofitable. 2. Because of the constant change of pathmasters. _ It is no uncommon 0câ€" currence to see good work done and a Baden â€" Powell and Hunter are now in touch with Pretoria from the west, Buller will also be from the east so that a British cordon cuts off the Free State from the Transvaal. Carâ€" rington is supposed to be pressing on the north and the Delagoa Bay Railâ€" way is expected to be cut soon, thus isolating the Boers. The British position is still improvâ€" ing, defeats are being inflicted here and there, pacification is progressing, Badenâ€"Powell has captured a few hundred of the enemy, but still no guns are taken. at Uc a day as poin Dougall, a sum of secured that would tulness the present secured that would far exceed in useâ€" tulness the present hapâ€"hazard system. ] have talked with many in Bentinck and Glenelg on this question, and_ all agree the present way is wasteful, The appointment of overseers to apply the money would be necessary and the right man continued in office long enough would in a few years confirm the value of the change. More machmery such as road graders, is also needed, but enough has been said in this letter.
