In the pessimistic spirit there is no possible good. A grumbling discontented man in a neighborhood is a positive evil neighborhood and check his business by drawing a long. face and complaining `of hard times. `In just the same way the blue ruin politician aided by partisan news papers may dolasting injury to the coun- try by depreciating its institutions and despair. Such men as Goldwinl Smith and Sir Richard Cartwright do almost irreparable injury to the people by the pessimistic spirit in which they indulge Mail which send their. whiuings abmd.

The evils for which the Week wants a remedy have been brought about very largely ` by the course _wh1oh-it`con- demns. A - rk ` ' . _ THE POSITION IN QUEBEC. The new commission In Quebec is un- earthing transactions which ought to con- 1 sign the Mercier Government to ever- . lasting condemnation. In no other coun- try, nor in any other age, are such scan- = dalous and corrupt acts and bold robberies of public money by Ministers recorded. Two letters of credit for $30,000 each 0 were issued by this precious Government to, J. A. Lsnglois, bookseller. Quebec, for stationery to be, or not to be at some future time to be shipped. These letters of credit were cashed by the Oaisse D Economic, a savings bank in the city of Quebec. On the day this was done, Pacaud despatched $25,000 to Mercier s account in Montreal, and Pacaud placed $25,000 to his own account. The $25 ,- 000 sent to Count Mercier it is alleged was used in the elections last March in attempting to defeat the Ottawa.Go_vern- ment. And while this was going on` the plundering hypocritical scoundrels were i crying out `against what they called Tory corruption, boodling and bribery. The ` pity of it is, that lots of Grits in Ontario and elsewhere are so blinded by party that they cannot see the moral iniquity and the danger to the common weal of these transactions. The pure patriot who leads the Opposition in the Dominion ' Parliament is also so blinded by the ad- vantages accruing to him from these steal- ings, that instead of `coming out, from among the corrupt horde and proclaiming His love for political honesty, he addresses I public meetings and condemns the Lieu- tenant Governor for the way` he dismissed the plunderers. The whole thing is not only enough to sicken a horse but to make even a well fed, hog throw up its last meal.

' A Z - ` ` RAILWAY uorzoromr vnnsus "rm: PUBLIC INTEREST. We notice that the Railway Commit- tee of the Privy Council has given judg- ment agaiust the Ontario Express Com- pany whose case is thus dismissed. This decision is based upon the alleged fact that the Grand Trunk Railway Company _has purchased" the Canadian Express Company's property and business, and the assumption is that it is going to do the express business itsevlfvaud to refuse to afford any other express company the richt to use- its lines of railway. This practically puts the express busmess of the country h under the control .of -the Grand Trunk, giving still more power to i this huge monopolizing corporation The ` Ontario Express Company ,was started.iu ` the interest of thepeople and as a check to ` the exorbitant rates charged by existing 1 companies, but by the action of the 1 (1:--`J-'l`_.._I_' "5 "` The country has reason to .'viev'rwith alarm the increasing power of `its two gtgentiofrnilwsy corporations and it is the msnifest duty of the government to stand between them and the rights and interests of the people.

Thus peace is .for 1 present secured. The people of East Simcoe are deeply interested in the completion of the Trent Valley Canal. Most important is_ it that that great work should .be nished, and that a man favorable to it should be their represenlative in parliament. I Let the people of East Simcoe remember that when` the question was under the con- sideration of parliament last` Session, Dr. Spohn was signicantly absent. When the delegation to urge the completion of ' this work on the Government went to , urge itscompletion. Let every elector Ottawa, Dr. Spohn the member for the riding,was not to be seen.7 It will be well tor the electors seriously to consider whether a man so oblivious to the inter- ests of the riding is in any way worthy of their condence and support.< Mr. Ben- nett is in full sympathy with that great work, and being a supporter of the Gov- ernment would have every opportunity to think of these things and than vote as his judgment directs. ' The Chilian navy is in a highly efficient state, the oicers being mostly-English- men bearing Spanish names. Suppose there should be war, what would he the effect on Canada? With the American ports blackaded by the cruisers of Chili. the United States would have to ship their exports by way of Canada, prices would go up and the Grit pulse would go down. This veries the old saw that it is an ill wind that blows no- body good. , Chilians hold the position 1-of being a the only nation in the world that has tactics suited to attack, , when an enemy of" "gt-ate? Asilwellt as hav- ing -the best modern ries the yet put into practice the new system of is` armed with _long range ries. The last battles of the Chilian civil war .were models of the zone formation of at- tack as distinguished from the old system of tactics. The principle of the zone system is to separate an attacking force into units and attack in waves, so as to develop strength for the nal charge with the least danger to the attacking party. The Observer says : In the last great battle in Chili the Government torces under the eyes of English and German tacttcians, employ- ed this system, and. roved that it could I be as effective in attac mg a force armed . withamodern ries as the old system was in the days when the range was only three or four hundred yards. Besides the Chilians have been at war with them- selves or sune other South American country foryears, and war is the rule 4 there, not the exception, as in the case of 1 the United States. wxm. cnru AND ianornnn JONA- ~ THAN FIGHT `I: I V 7 About every other day, the story comes of the near approach of the big and the little Republic, to pointing their .gI_ms at each other. It is to.be hoped the diffi- culty will be settled without waste of powder and the more serious consequences of using it. It is `said Britain is doing all in her power to bring about a recon- ciliation without any tarnishing of na- tional honoron the part of the belliger- ents. - Should it come to war, Chili would necessarily in the end haveto yield, but it would not be till after a plucky strug- gle and doing -Uncle Sam considerable damage. _The Chilians are ghters and they have the very best war material of the day.
