ignore the fact that à great issue overhanging the country is protection, that the only concrete form in which that principle has so much as dared to present itself to the country\"is in the protection of farm stuffs, and that the rural interest has at all times been protectionist.M in park } At all events, | men of Montreal, to associate such conduct with men of their class.We presume that the Cleveland carmen are just as nice people as one would like to meet, and that the most of them hate tbe present discords as much as Mayor Johnson does.Yet they find themselves making war upon the public in connection with the most beneficent public movement ever carried through by a public spirited mayor.The trouble seems to have grown out of the fight f maintained by the street railway company that charged five cents against Mr.Johnson\u2019s scheme for acquiring the system and charging three.That company, thinking to secure a large interest in its favor, had given the men a promise of a rise in wages should it maintain the control of the lines, and the present strike is a demand upon the new owners for that rise, just at a time when, for the most part, wages are going down.Cleveland has a golden-rule mayor, and stranger still, a golden-rule chief of police, one doing all he can for the public good, and the other doing all he can for the good of the naughty.It is strange that whoever essays to do good to the people seems bound to meet with conflict at the hands of those they set out to befriend.WHAT IS SOCIALISM ?- The advocacy and discussion of socialism are so prevalent just now the world over \u2018and especially on the continent of Europe, that many will be surprised to learn that the word was coined in England so late as 1835.Under the auspices of Robert Owen, a society was formed in that year bearing the ambitious title, \u2018Association of all classes of all nations.\u201d It was during the discussions which took place in connection with the formation of that association that the words socialist and socialisiy were first used.Owen and his disciples dissociated themselves from the political in the\u2019 protection\u201d of foodstuffs \\ country, what With the desperate reform of the period, and laid all em- \u2018best views of Socialism, however, radical social reform which disturbs the utilizing all the latest improvements in industrial technique.All excellent objects, which show thal Owen.in these respects, at least, was far iu advance of his time.The causes of his failure, apart from the difficulties inherent in socialism, were that he went out of his way to attack the historic religions and the accepted views on marriage, and his refusal to see that for the mass of men the steps from an old to a new system must be gradual.He had too great a faith in human nature, and did not understand the laws of social evolution.He thought that he could Break the chain of continuity, and create as if by.magic a new set of circumstances which would forthwith produce a new generation of rational and unselfish men, Owen\u2019s ideas and the word Socialism were soon adopted on the continent of Europe, and inevitably underwent changes in evolution.Reybaud, Saint- Simon, Fourier, Laveleye, Von Scheel, Karl Marx, Louis Blane, Kingsley, Maurice, George Ripley (of Brook Farm fame), Proudhon, Lassalle, are among its many disciples and teachers.The h are associated with Owen, Saint-Simon and Fourier and the cognate opinions which have since appeared.Since then.however, and especially in our day, the word has been used with à great variety of meanings, not only in popular speech and by politicians, but equally so by.economists and even learned critics of the cult.Kirkup says that the general tendency is to regard as socialism any.interference with property undertaken by society on behalf of the poor\u2014any limitation of the principle of laissez-faire in favor of the suffering classes, and present system of private property as \u2018regulated by free competition.This application, he asserts, is not accurate, but it is use.and wont that determine in the minds 4i-4 Morgan, Mre.Black, and

Well, that might be as it may, but it was certain that when they were asked to take a dose of their own medicine they refused the ordeal.The government\u2019s proposal as outlined by the Premier was quite reasonable.He did not wish to administer even the law of the province of Manitoba on partisan lines, but proposed to merely place the administration of that law, so far as it affected the Dominion, in the hands of an independent registration board, instead ot in the hands of men appointed hy the local government.Mr.Bergeron contended that the Aylesworth bill was at once unconstitutional and unfair.The very least the government could have done, if it was, dissatisfied with the provincial lists, would be to pave the way for federal lists in all the provinces.But the proposal to single out Manitoba and British Columbia was without a shadow of justification.MANITOBA GRAIN ACT \u2014\u2014 BILL TO BE INTRODUCED IN THE SENATE EMBODIES MANY IMPORTANT AMENDMENTS.Ottawa, May 19.\u2014The Minister of Trade and Commerce has introduced In the Senate a bill which embodies a number of important amendments to the Manitoba Gruin Act designed to better the conditions governing the nandling of grain by the various elevators and the transportation of grain by the railway companies, and to ensure to grain growers a sutficient supply of cars to meet their requirements.\u2018The bill is based in the main on the report of the Mani toba Grain Commission and on the representations which have been made by the Grain Growers\u2019 Associations, but has since received the endorsation of the grain growers and of their parlinmen- tary representatives.\u2018When the measure.is taken up in committee a number of further amendments will be made with the object of bringing the grain trade of the Canadian west under the control of Dominion Government inspectors from the time the grain goes mto elevator in the west until it reaches the ort of destination in the Old Country.here is ut present a measure of government control over the elevators in the west, but the present proposal will bring a similar control into force as regards not only the elevators at Port Arthur and Fort William but those at Midland, Montreal, St.John and all other lake and ocean ports which are engaged in the grain trade.It is provided in the government bill that \u2018the identity of each parcel, or lot, of western grain shipped to an eastern transfer elevator shall be preserved, except that different parcels or lois of the same grain may be binned together when there is not sufficient space ign the ele- | * + neat.wator to keep the parcels or lote separate.: In the case of small stations in the west, where grain is shipped, power 1s iven to the grain commissioner to or- er that the railway company shall provide a suitable person between Sept.15 and Jan.15 to deal with applications for Cars.0 .As the law now stands a shipper can bave but one order for cars at a time on the books of a railway company.But the bill will allow .of individuals ordering cars ahead according to their respective requirements.A new clause is added which provides that the grain commissioner shall have power in hig discretion during a car shortage to direct the railways to make an equitable distribution of empty cars to all stations in proportion to the amount of grain available for shipment from such stations, as shown in their respective order books.Steps are taken to prevent country elevators from pooling their interests, and thus virtually robbing grain-growers of any competition in the storage of their grain.The bill will be taken up first in the Senate and will be pressed through into law if the deadlock which has occurred in the House of Commons over the Election Bill does not result in a dissolution of parliament before this and h#l: à dozen other items on the ministerial programme have been dealt with.THE CONSERVATIVE PLATFORM.Outlined by the Hon.Mr.Leblanc at Monument National Last Night SAYS THERE NEVER WAS MUCH CAUSE FOR COMPLAINING OF A GOVERNMENT.SO The Conservative mass meeting, held in the Monument National last night for the purpose of hearing the Conservative leader, the Hon.Mr.Leblane, outline the platform of his party, attracted an overflowing audience, and the.various speakers were greeted with much enthu- 81am.The programme which Mr.Leblanc submitted as the policy of his party may be summed up as tollows:\u2014 Respect for our constitution.Improved methods of colonization.An immigration pohcy.Aids to primary education.Abolition of highway tolls.Free lands for free settlers.Protection of forests and pulpwood.Better paid teachers.Protection for dairy industry.a er administration of the license aw.\"Decreased taxes on commercial corporations and insurance companies.NO POPULAR CONTROL.The Hon.Mr.Leblanc, who had a very flattering reception, said that not since the days of 1837 had there been 80 much reason to complain about the government as now.For eleven years there had been no popular control.The sentiment that led the government was not patriotism but eguisim; it was said, indeed, that the government had become a \u2018comproir publique,\u2019 where everything was bartered.\u2018Take the administration of lands and forests and the shameful traffic of public domains to the profit of our neighboring country and to the detriment of our treasury.Toe government gives its adherents the opportunity of getting public lands and selling them 10 the people to the south of us.\u2019 He referred to the organization known as the Montreal Life & Death Associa tion, which, he said, received authority from the government to issue stock to the value of $215,000, when as a matter of fact the stock was not worth the paper it was written on.\u2018They sold their stock.The signature of the Hon.Mr.Weir is there.The man connected with that transaction is row Treasurer of the province, after being Minister of Public Works and Labor.That is the proof of the shameful traffic for a charter carried on under the gcvernment,\u2019 FALSE SETTLERS.\u2018 .Taking up the administration of public lands, he said the Conservative party wanted the separation of lands destined for colonization and those destined tor simple forestry exploitation.To this end, classification of land by canton, and not by lots, was needed, and m colonization regions there ought to be government ofhcers who would distribute the land co that the settlers would become indisputable proprictors.\u2018We want to put an end to a disastrous system\u2014a system of encouraging false settlers to the detriment of worthy ones.We want to distinguish between the good settler and the lumber « merchant.If you have read independent newspapers, you will have seen that in the region of the Gouin road, good settlers could not take our lots last vear.Why ?Because those lots were taken out by speculators.One hundred such lots were taken out for the simple purpose of cutting wood.That was pillage, systematic robbery put in practice under the patronage of the government.We wish to put an end to the system.\u2019 Good colonization roads to precede settlers and the immigration of people animated by the same ideas as they were were also needed; present immigration from the large cities of Europe only encumbered the jails and ly he declared.penitentiaries, SCANDALOUS BOODLING.Touching on agriculture, he said that the Conservatives gave a start to the dairy industry in this province, but little bad since been dome by the present + ovérnment.Of course they would be told that the government had established an agricultural school at St.Hyacinthe.\u2018That is true.ln 1902 the Quebec government was authorized to spend $15, 000 o: that school.Almost $85,000 bas been spent on it.Go to St.Hyacinthe and \u2018hear of the scandalous boodling that was at the bottom of that.What is wanted are agrœultural schools as in Ontario.We wantÿ county schools, where the graduates offour agricultural collegez may go and give people in each county the benefits of 1ne- thods applied in the colleges.We have had promises from Messrs.Gouin and his followers\u2014unrealized promises.We want something else.Mr.Leblanc spoke of the agricultural schools of Oka, L'Assomption and Compton, and others established by 'Conservatives, two of which had been obliged to close down since.\u2018You have heard of the philanthropic work of ®ir William Macdonald, who founded the Ste.Anne's College.Agri culture knows no race or creed.It has not even a religion.Already the goud results oi that college are being felt in Nie.Anne's district.Farmers are al ready improving their methods.\u2019 Mr.Leblanc claimed that the present government had utterly neglected the rural roads.He also said that tolls on gates and bridges\u2014those relics of a former age\u2014ought to be abolished.COMPLAINTS OF EDUCATIONAL NEGLECT.Coming to the question of education, he said the government had been promis- Ing to provide technical and commercial schools for the past «leven years, and at last had commenced to build one in this city.to put the electors of Nt.James in a good humor before elections.He considered, however, that the Catho- lie Commission ought to be flowed to build this institution, follow: the example of the Protestant Commission in providing their splendid commercial and technical school on Sherbrooke street.Otherwise the government would be both professor and proprietor of the school.As regards elementary educa tion, this never would be satisfactory until teachers were paid proper salaries.Teaching ought to be one of the best professions in the provinte.THE JOYOUS LIFE.Mr.Leblanc asked what the government had to show for an increased expenditure of $600,000 a year\u2014a total\u2014of six million dollars more than the expenditure of the Conservatives.\u2018Nothing,\u2019 he declareq, \u2018but the joyous hfe members of the government have been leading, and the numerous trips to Europe at public expense.\u2019 Arguing for a better enforcement of the \u2018liquor laws, he said there were honest liquor dealers; some of whom he was not ashamed to call his friends; but, on the other hand, there were abuses throughout the province.Theee should be suppressed.In some districts, however, license dues had been 60 raised that dealers were led to sell out of legal hours to make up the difference.In conclusion, he emphatically de clared that the Hon.Mr.Gouin had twice broken his word given to the speaker during last session.One solemn promise was that elections would mot be until June 20.Another was that the Railway Subsidy Bill.giving away three million acres of public lands.would not be passed in Mr.Leblanc's absence.It was passed in his absence and put through all stages in five minutes at 2 o'clock one morning.Other speakers were Mr.C.E.Gault, candidate for St.Antoine: Mr.P.Cousineau, candidate for Jacques (ar tier; Mr.J.M.McDougall.of Hull, who will oppose the Hon.W.A.Weir, in Argenteuil; Mr.J.Alfred Labelle, and Mr.Thos.Chase Casgrain (who presided.) 20 SUPREME COURT JUDGMENTS RENDERED IN MIXING AND CRIMINAL LAW CASES.Ottawa, May 18.\u2014In the Supreme Court this morning judgments were de livered as follows in cases argued this session on appeals trom the Exchequer Court: Smith vs.the King and Frocks vs.the King\u2014Both cases on appeal trom the judgments of the late Mr.Justice Bur bidge in the Exchequer Court of trials held at Dawson City last summer.Lhe appellants claimed to be entitled to hyaraulic leases on Flat Creek, a tributary to the Klondike river, in Yukon Territory, on their respective applica- ticns therefor as free miners in April, 1900, and as having complied with all the necessary regulations in respect iv payment of rent and performance ot duties.In the Exchequer Court the petitions of right filed by both appellants were dismissed on the ground that their regulations were subject to certain amended mining regulations which came into force since the dates of the apph- cations, the conditions of which had not been complied with.In both cases the appeal was dismissed with costs, Ede vs.the King\u2014An appeal from the decision of the Supreme Court of Nova Scotia on a Crown case reserved.A preliminary point was first dealt with, namely, whether or not the application for a reserved case was made \u2018during the trial,\u201d as the Criminal Code requires.it having been made after verdict, but He- fore sentence.Appellant\u2019s counsel was heard on this point, and directed to proceed with his argument on the merits.the objection being still open against him.The main question was whether or not the prisoner, having been indicted for forging a promissory note, could be convicted on proof that he had signed a blank note, the date, time and amount being filled in, but no payee named.If he could not, was it matter vhat was cured by the verdict.The trial judge refused to reserve a case, and was ordered by the full court to do so.The latter court subsequently upheld the verdict.The appeal was dismissed with costa.Tuzspay, May 19, 1008 Villages FIFTEEN HAVE NATI\\ OFFEI Simla, May 15S.- British punitive heart uf
