The Globé and othef Reform papers are pointing out that; the Tuppel‘ Government are making desperate attempts to raise a corrnftion fund for the approaching elections. It is claimed they have an order-in-council passed subsidizing 58 liailway com- panies to the exten‘t of about $13,000,000. \Vhat would the Tup~ per combination not do in orderpto retain power. Hnw The Mail-Empire of Friday unâ€" bonsciously did good service for the Liberal, party by a cartoon on the front page. The cartoon shows the late Hon. Alex.’ Mackenzie sitting,r with musket in hand carefully guard- ing the Government strong box in 1875. If The Mail could only repre sent the present premier in a similar position there might have been a point gained for the Conservative party, but such a representation would be too absurd, because who can imagine a Tupper protecting any treasury except his own. The car- itoon was a truthful representation, and Mr. Laurier is the noble follower of Mr. Mackenzie who will guard “the strong box ” aftel: the 23rd of this month. i was cleverly shown by The Globe’s ‘carton'ist a few days ago. In the centre of the picture was the premier with an arm lovingly thrown over 'each of his boon companions. As every one knows Mr. Thos. McGreeVy was liberated from prison a few months ago because it was claimed ’that prison life Was endangering his health. The otherâ€"Mr. Rykert=~ Was some time ago expelled the House, or rather resigned in oréer to save his expulsion. Both these notables are now candidates for par- liamentary honors in the interests of 1 Sir Charles Tupper.

With regard to the Royal Military College at Kingston my opinion is [lI'IL the object which Parliament had in View In establishing this cull: go has been ubandnned, and instead of this institution having been conducted purely as a schonl for imparting scientific ullllt‘try education it has become largely an ordinary Col legiate Institute and engaged in doing ordinary educational work, which, under the Confudcrssion Act, is assigned h: the Provinces, and it, is no part of the duty of the Dominion Government, in my opinion, to establish ordinary educiltlmml institutiuns. This View I have ennnciat ed in Parliament on mare than one no. casiun and have been taking an active part in endeavor-lug to impress upon the public the unwise expenditure ume the college. Experience has abundantly shown that when a new land IS being opened up and people are gatheling there from all pans of the w‘urld, a Visible sign of authority exercises a most. beneficial efi'cct upon all incomers. It. is to be. remembered ihat wry many thousands of Indiana are still being looked after, and that. in addition thereto the mounted police are obliged to \vatch the long frontier between Canada and the Unile States for the prevention of crime, the smugglng of liquurs into thu country and generally to secure reapccc for British laWs. l With regard to the mounted police I should be glad to see the time arrive when the expense cunnected will) this service may be gradually curtailed or ended, but I think the present cunditiuns are not such as Wuuld warrant the ab”. lition of this branch of the public service. Whether it is unneces‘suril? ezpensive I am not possessed of sulficient lufunnation to express an opinion. The mounted police have dnubtless rendered valuable service in prutecting life and property 1.) the North West and in giVing the settlers that confidence and sense of security so necessary in order to the development nf that great country.
