oil FRIDAY APRIL Protest At every now or unexpected turn political kaleidoscope we fre quently hear the exclamation won ders will never cease and this was expression of people at the market ou Saturday as the be came noised abroad that a protest had been entered against the return of Hon J Davis Provincial Secretary as member for North York in Pro vincial Assembly That the action was unexpected was emphatically em- by the fact that many leading local politicians oven among those who stand politically opposed to Mr Davis knew nothing about legal proceedings taken until so in formed by the intimation given in the papers tho morning after pro- test was entered Considering that Provincial Secretarys majority was about and that a if one by any possible technicality should bo held would almost certainly increaso rather than lessen that majority it quite within range of probability that this action is not at all serious The charges filed are of tho omnibus char- actor common to all petitions noth ing speoifio thereby giving color to the surmise that the whole business is little short of political guff and we therefore venture to predict that pro ceedings will never be carried beyond the initial stages Money is not so plentiful or the prospects sufficiently to venture the squandering of a thousand dollars to attain un attainable in North York This among other protests however seems a part and parcel of the scheme de cided upon at the Whitney caucus im mediately after the election and if the Riding must go the farce of an election trial we suppose the in convenience will have to bo endured but that is all it will amount to We have no idea that Mr Davis oppon ent is a party to tbeseelection proceed ings and verily believe our Conser vative friends are making a big mis take by their action Since the foregoing was put in type word has reached us from city that the protests in both North and East York have fallen through on account of the nonpayment of the de posit into court Fortyseven elec tions have been protested forty have been accompanied so far with the by law brunch which is now entirely at Ottawa In presenting thin measure for the consideration of Parliament Pout- masterGeneral culled attention to some of principal changes propp ed and offered therefor With respect to reduction of letter rates ho took occasion to nay that it was not intended that tho bill should take effect until next year the issue of a proclamation and also further intimated that two propositions of reducing late and tho im- of postage on were contingent one upon other With regard to second feature of the bill suggestion for the reimposition of ft rate of half a cent a pound on newspapers the measure to come into force in two during Mr further stated that it was not intention to absolutely wipe out the free transmis sion of newspapers but to the free postage to a ten mile zone that is papers to go free within ton miles of of publication Just here with regard to this propos ed ehunge we must lake occasion to that policy of the in the for many makes it hard on publishers now to return to a system Taking advantage of not having postage to pay publishers have gone on reducing the price of subscriptions to the low- est possible figure and now to add this burden will reduce the of pub lication to the lowest possible margin on all subscriptions outside the ton mile zone while to increase the price of publication after once be ing reduced woufd almost be fatal to further success Wo therefore take he liberty to represent to the mister- funeral the propriety of in creasing zone limit free postage to at least twenty miles This will help the country press out of the woods while the imposition of flu preposcd rate of the twenty mile limit will bo equally effective in reaching the mushroom publica tions which Mr Mulock complains lias taken advantage of the law with out occupying the field of legitimate

it renders the country there is no good reason why it should not bear some share in meeting the cost of With respect to the third feature viz the decentralization of the dead- letter branch of the PO Department we regard it as a change in the right direction Hon Mr explain ed that at present if a letter is put in the post office and if the writer omits to stamp it or otherwise make it im possible for it to be delivered it has to be sent to Ottawa The result is often loss to those interested or very great inconvenience to others A let ter of this kind dropped at Victoria BC or Winnipeg in the
