clement of comedy in what was fromised and what lina resulted under viberal administration, If Richard ould be himself ngaia for an hour or Mo wo khoull have à performance vhich ould contribute greatly to the niety of this nation.It would be in- ructive also, as well as interesting.{he old Liberal financier had a genius or stating tconomie principles ax well E à iucility in the urt of

government would be wep ud foolish 16 be bound by pledges } which through Inpee of time and thanging conditions could not be tively obwerved, A party, however, thould show some reasonable contin- kity of purpore.end make some attempt to accomodate itself to its pro- mxions and principles, But during the ast twelve or fourteen years the Libnal politiciane at Ottawa have written an amezing chapter ol oppxortun- fan.and to-day rem to glory chiefly in the practires which they denounced às vices in Conservative governments.In 1596 the cunsolidated expenditure was $38,819,000, In 1908 the con- eolidated oxporliture will be 873,300.tr.Ju 156 the total disbursements were $34,500,000.In 19S we shall spend on consolidat«l fund and on eapitnl nccount over $110,000,000.Vaxation and expenditure has increas- ol from $00600 à week under Conrervalive government to 22000000 a week Under | Liberal administration.l'ur next recor the estimates already Issucd provide for total dishursements of nearly $i20,000,000, and it is expected that, supplementary estimates, iailway subdidies and bourtion will raite the totni to 8135.000.000 or Kio 0,000.Of thie amount 330,- 00.00 will be devated to: the con- ktriiction of the Trunscontinental Railway, upon which enterprise, by the way, $26,000,000 aigpady has been cx- pended.It is not expected that the revenue will exceed 200.000.000 and thus the public debt will be increased hy 840,000,000, 4 Probably the country will agree that there should be vigorous construction of the Tranecontinental Railway.We nee committed to the project and Conrervative Governments, when revenues ¢ were far less abundant and the national outlook far less promising, never failed in courage to [ace great coneituclive undertakings.In truth when we lgok backward we cannot fuil An he impressed with the faith ned optimism of Conservative statesmen and inspired by what they ac complished with slender revenues and a thin and reattered population.It ie not to be expected, therefore, that the succes seek to delay the constriction of the new Transcontinental Railway or to discredit vnnecessarily n great on- terorise to which the country ie com- ritied.Events have proved the un- wisdom of the liberal attitude towards the Capadian Pacific Railway and the Conservative leaders are not N\\ likely to make a similar mistake.They may be exporté to keep the cafntry thoroughly informed ax to the methods and details of construction and to exercise all necessary virilance in order te prevent waste and johberv, p Tt ie whispered that the cost nf the

Montreal papers which vois every op- \u201cportuaity of vvibcing @ jealous and | antiondty spirit towards Quebec.but, {us a general rule, treats her with calm impartiality.We may, therefore, ; conclude that itx remarks on the pre- |xent situation in this port are intend- ad to be taken in a friendly spirit, as they certainly are just and well found- wd, Our confrere says: \u2014 \u201cln former times, when the port of Quebee had a flourishing shipping tinde, the \u2018longshoremen destroyed it by their exactions and, when the trade | was ruined, they disapprared, but the prier remained to mourn the conse- riences of their action.Now Quebec [ins a prospect of fevival of its ship- {ping trade, My making it their ter \u2018minal the Empress steamships have given, the port nr new start, but the \u2018iongshotemen, repeating the error of tieir predecessors, are making de mands with which the steamships are !unable comply and threaten, should {hewe demands he insiated ugk, to give Quebec the go by.and wake Three Rivers their terminal.With that object in view ample dock facilities have heen secure nnd the 'long- «horemen will have to chouse between lowering their demands

eventually Lo Montteal, whether they remain here for the present or go to Three Rivers.That will depend, ax the Witness peinte out, largely on the harbor accomodations and shipping facilities, and also, in sume measure on the further enlarge nent of the ship-channel, and before these two thinge can be realized for Montreal it in not impossible that the C.P.R.may have entablished its footing so securely either here or at Three Rivers as to render it hardly worth while to change ite base.If jt goea to Three Rivers now it is toler.ubly certain to have all things ite own way.and to provide its own facilities thoroughly to its own satisfaction: but if it remains here, there will be a necessity tu equip the port, not only for the tral- fic of the Emprosses, hut also for that tof other lines, which may be reason- | aby hoped to follow the example set \u201cby them.Our confrero argues that the | permanent establishment of the C.P.R.line of ateamers depends on the traffic necomudations, and any port that desiren their\u2019 presence must be prepared to-furnish them with suitable { conveniences.Herr is where the pro- vrastination of the \u2018longshorsmen in acting injurionaly.It is acknowledged by ail that the port ie at present only a third-rate one as regards tral fie facilities, that these must be increased if we desire to increase the trade, and that no time should bn lost in doing so, but until we know whether the Enipresses are going to an at Quebec, or will remove to ree Rivers, it in useless to further agitate for improved tern inal facilities, and the decision depesds on the \u2018longshotemen.If their décipion in adverse the terminal facilities wa havo now will be sufficient, or vearly so, for all the demands :hat are likely to he made upon them.~and wr
