If Canadian ports are 1 to be built up by the preferential trade, and the Intercolonial has to be run at a loss, let it be run at a loss; it’s the peoples l enterprise, and one that. no matter how r friendly we may feel to the other railroads, Canadians of every phase of politics should take care of. That railroads bonused by the people are to kill out the traffic of a milroad owned by the people, is a scheme which we cannot listen to for a moment, and yet it is exactly what we have to con- template now that the Government is face to face with the idea of scndmg all our ex- port business in the winter time to Port- land and Boston. For years it has been obvious to everyone that the C.P‘R. has been sucking the road dry. Let an Order in Council be passed. if that be sufficient, to make preferential trade come to prefer- red ports, and those preferred ports must i be Canadian, and we can have a fast At- lantic service, we can build up great Can- adian seaport cities. This should be a part of the Government's policy, and if they cannot accomplish it by an Order in i Council they should Call Parliament to- gether and pass a law, and there should be no evading of the very great questions at issue. Of course there will be great rail- road opposition, and must he expected, but Canada will look with interest to see whether this country owns the railroads or the railroads own the country. i ,â€".»A ~.~l The remedy is suggested by Saturday Night in the following words.â€" ; e way to block both the Canadian P citic and the Grand Trunk in their present opposition to the Inter-colonial, .’ which is owned by the people. and owned 1 by a people who could well afford to run it 1 at a loss rather than build up ports which ’ have no use for Canada and which are lo- icated in a foreign country, is to use the ’ preferential tariff of thirty-three and one- ; third per cent which exists between Great ' Britain and Canada, shall only apply to I goods landed direct from Great Britain at 2 a Canadian port; that if the traffic comes .' through a foreign country it will be sub- ject to the same tariff which is imposed on the goods of the country through which it ‘ is hauled. Nearly $40,000,000 worth of imports. much of which now goes by way of New York, Boston and Portland, would thus he directed to Halifax or St. John and this would make quite a business for a railroad. The discrimination in favor of Great Britain wuuld thus he used. not only for the benefit of the countrv which origin- ates the imports, but for the upbuilding of Canadian ports.

The London Expféssfiaéas begun a h crusade against the ‘ ' a fi ' e which are used in shootingt‘toumaments in ‘ England. The practice of disabl‘az the birds to make them more arailsbl’ use by some marksmen appears to be more general in England than the Express be. ‘ lieved, and it has no difficulty in finding evidence to suit its case. The blinding of‘ a bird in one eye seems to be a common practice. “Suppose a. sportsman,” says the Express. “finds that he can only hit birds that fly from left to right, how can he ensure his birds taking this course? There are two methods. In a few cases the right wing of the bird is slightly clipped, so that the course naturally trends away from the stronger wing. This oom- paratirely harmless method is rarely made use of for the determination to eithe right or left is not suffcient. Our civilizet barbarians therefore burn out the poor pigeon’s eye with a red hot wire, and as the bird always flies towards the light, it takes the desired course. Birds thus doctored are sold as ‘right hand course guaranteed.’ Another method quite as cruel, but which leaves no marks, is to pinch violently the 'joint of one wing or the other with a pair. . of nippers or a pair of blunt scissors. Fly- ‘inz‘is thus a progress of agony for the bird, and the desired' result is obtained. Other plans are followed to make the bird tower when liberated, to keep it low or to make it start quickly,, each of which Lor- tures it. The crusade is supported by many men who are deeply interested in sport. Live pigeons are Used by trap shooters in this country, but we never heard of sportsmen over here maiming birds to make them easier killed. The above article is from the News, of London, Ont.
