EACH The Pointed all been opened in parts of the Dominion not previously enjoying postal accommodation areorganiza tion of the railway mall service and office has been effected and by adoption of business methods in awarding of mall contracts and contracts for supplies political has been suppressed and large savings to the country thereby effected Previous to accession of Government to power vory grave complaints were made through the press and on floor of Parlia ment of methods under which contracts for mail were award ed The system obtaining had become positively Economy was domanded Every department of the public service was charged with ex travagance On assuming office Mr at began an examination into details of PostOffice de partment and to his astonishment ho found dozens of instances whore actually carrying the mails wore simply Bubcontractors with a political gobetween receiving part of tho con sideration paid for the service dor such a system partisans of the Government of day wore being at public This viscious system Mr Mulook ended by letting all mail contracts by tender and although the News condemns this action wo aro quite tho Post master Generals supporters in North York will entertain a different opinion Why should our cotempaoncy find fault with Mr Mulock because he ac cepts a tender of for carrying mail a of forty miles or to another of 1 12 for making a round trip of miles men were not compelled to tender at these figures it was their own business end probably they understood it better writer for the News At any rate the PostmasterGeneral did not set the price at which service was estimated by the contractors and be sides all this the contract price for carrying the mails is not in most in- stances the only consideration con tractors receive Oftentimes the pas senger and parcel service of these several routes are treble the mail contract This feature our con temporary appears to have entirely overlooked We therefore must con clude in view of all circumstances that the animadversions of our aro pot only ill timed but un just to the of Post Tub Ontario Legislature adjourned foot Wednesday to at coll of The- principal work the session was- a bill amending the and odd dealing with Fisheries explanation by Hon Mr Davis in bo Assembly last Friday It turns oat that all of Opposition respecting of an aged ram tor Model Farm by Hon Mr was without tion Government did not tho animal question and Mr was not Minister Agriculture at time the alleged was said to been made Tho story was and arose from mistaken Identity FRIDAY AUG A from Vancouver dated Aug 17th sayBMr now Com missioner for the Klondike at a farewell banquet tendered by So ciety last night said that ho would do to all men Irrespective of nation ality Ho said In tho Yukon country gold is found everywhere Half will pay anyway labor Is cheap thawing will bo done by gold tract of the has not boon A vast of mother will yot bo found In the next ton years Klondike will greatest gold area in tho world Wo must husband all the timber The Americans no will bo permitted to out it on British soil and float it down What wo wo will keep tho members of tho Legislature had their little Bay about the naughty Con stables who voted at tho Provincial they had a sort of over tho Bill The filar thus re ports the For first since that little misunderstanding last March member joined With member around one table and talked out Fishery Bill as men who represented a province which had something worth having and by the same token something worth pre serving A man who dreams not a legis latormight have outlined a pretty pic ture and without recourse to much of his imagination pointed out a crowd of legis lators smoking calmly too pipe of peace and deliberating for good of a common cause devising ways and moans for ensur ing tho future existence of a harvest of the waters Criticism favorable financial showing the PostOffico Department since Hon Mr assumed control ia matter for congratulation rather than adverse criticism The Toronto News however appears to think otherwise and takes occasion to advise the Trades and Labor Council not to eulogize him as- the friend of man and cham pion of tho masses True it is ad mitted he put a stop to sub contrac tors working their employees under a sweatshop scale of wages and also assisted those unfortunates who toil for a mere pittance This was com mended by the Trades and Labor Council but the News would rob the PostmasterGeneral of being influenced by worthy motives and tells the working classes that Mr was simply masquerading he was playing to the Our then proceeds to assign reasons for the conclusions reached and in order that the people of North York may be able fairly to judge for themselves of the worthiness of attack upon their representative we quote the following extract from the News article of hie cheeseparing record in the matter of stage mailcarrying would the devotees of the Trade and Labor Council Mr be called the friend sjid champion of poor when he doles Out to a poor driver for carrying the mail a distanco of forty miles A unfortunate receives the magnificent sum of for taking a round trip of miles in all sorts of Weath A crowning instance of his love for the masses and the toilers is seen in bis great stroke of finance in reducing the stage driver a pay from twelve to eight cents for nuking a journey of three miles along the Worth Shore where the tempests rage and the way is hard But the rooky wilderness of the north is not so hard as the skinflint of now who pours countrys gold into the maws of railway companies and shows unexampled meanness to the man struggling forexia IAD Before commenting upop the above extract we will take occasion to call attention to the fact that for the fiscal vear ending about the time Hon Mr Mulock become Postmaster Gen eral there was a deficit of 700997 The next year under his management 18907 reduced that deficit to and for the past it was further reduced a total reduction in the annual deficit of the Department of This avertible worthy of special commendation the more especially as it has not been accomplished by starving service to cut down expenses Tho service has been extended new NOTES this Hon Mr ox- Minister of Finance is airing bis political views up- if North- West Territories The bard of is playing second fiddle at his meetings It announced that the new school book entitled Agriculture by Mr James Deputy Minister of Agriculture for Ontario is in press and will be pub- lished by Mr at an early date The price will be At the Reform last week Johnston of Sarnia was nominated to contest the Rid ing for the Commons rendered vacant by the appointment of Mr J Lister to a Judgeship in Court of Appeals Constables of this Province no doubt feel like falling down and worshipping Mr Whitney and his followers in the Legisla ture for their vigorous attempt to disfran chise them Great is the Diana of the Opposition but the Hon Minister of Edu cation completely unhorsed him Grit majority with Speaker Evanturel and Mr Craig who is ill not counted Actual majority for the Government eight too high a wall for Mr Whitney to jump over and as for Messrs Willoughby and John theyre not in it either Oar PERSONAL POINTS Commerce disturbed by the late Ameri canSpanish war between Britain and other countries will now assume normal condi tions Since the cessation of hostilities between the United States and Spain the disabilities imposed upon British and Can commerce by the observance of the neutrality laws have been and an instruction has been out to collectors by the Customs Department advising them that clearance may be granted In com pliance with the provisions of the law for coal arid other cargoes which were contra band of fcar destined for St Pierre Mi- the United States Cuba the West Indies and other places in the usual without reference to the department for special instructions unless in doubt on any particular application for The argument of Mr MPP for Centre Toronto against the action of the Government and which the Mail so highly commends simply displays a weak at tempt to play upon words nothing more He pointed out that constables have not been mentioned in any of the petitions by Conservatives All that was done was to that section of the Election Act had been violated This reminds us of the story told of a merchant trading vessel having on board an Quaker and being attacked on the high seas by pi rates The Quaker was averse to fighting but when one of the piratical attempt ed to up the sides of Mr Quaker told the robber that he was going to shoot presently and that said robber was right In the of the That Is the
