CLARK'S I Turkey | ell the Etec., Ete. ¥. CLARK, Manufacturer, AONTREAL J OUR SPECIALS : Saguenay Salmon, Brook Trout, conservauve got voters' lists, by the co atives that Hon. Mr terrible mischief to their eatise. the provincial franchise would be ig nored by the liberals. and the vote re- This to the conservative = mind, | should not have been so Hoturiiug. A conservative government had tried it to its complete satisfaction, and it is something, that, suggesttd or re. commended by_the conservative par- ty, would not bo condemned now. But as. a liberal proceeding it was simply shocking ! Some days age Sir Wilfrid Laurier gave a sketch of the business which itmained for the House of Commons before its adjournment. The election 1 law was referred to. It was to be ain ended in some slight particulars. Cer- tain elections in Quebee, Ontario and British Columbia were not held iu the same "day as the elections for the fest of the dominion, and provision was to be made for them under the Redistribution * Act. - This and some changes in Redistribution Act, as re gards the number of repitsentatives in New: Brunswick, were all, and, ac- cording to néwspaper report, Sir Wil frid said it very softly. Mr. Clark, Tgronta, asked about the Manitoba lists, The premier said whthing would be done. "Oh, that is dropped," said Mr. Clark. "No, not dropped," re plied the premier; "it was never in- tended." But the conservative press will not have it so. It was given out that Mr, Sifton had planned to rob the enemy of their advatitage in the provincial lists, and "one of the bitterest fights in the history of parliament was Fright in sight." When it was stated there was gio round for alarm there was yet doubt, and the Gttawa cor- respondent of a Montreal paper says "the situation is still felt to require watching." The men who are bound to have trouble sometimes get all they want of it. -- THE MILITIA OF CANADA. The most serivus charge of Lord Dundonald against the minister of wilitia is that he suppressed a part of the report which the commander of the forces preferred in 1902, It had tag do, it seems, with the defences of the country, and, in the opiniin of Sir Frederick Borden, should be considered confidential. It resembled the report of a special committee, which 'acted in 1808, and whose work was then before the Canadian imperial governments, Lord Dundonald says his report was not analagous with the report of 1898, and it was not marked private, but Sir Frederick Borden in 1903, speaking in, the commons, and in reply to Col. Tisdale, said he thought he was the best judge whether it should be re garded as confidential. The report' in volved a scheme of defence and should not be published to the world. At the sam¢ time he offered to show it to the, leader of the opposition or to any meinber of his party, Por did the explanation end there, and Sir Frederick Borden went further and said that there were some parts of the report which should he publish- ed, that others involved a heavy ex- penditure which the goveroment had not decided to make, and that it Would be highly improper to give out the whole. Such a thing would not be done in England or any where cbse, | The motives Ff the minister were, therefore, good, and they cannot be questioned now, The improvement of the militia * an- der the present government has been gradual and steady. Sir Frederick Borden is credited with being {he bist minister of , militia that Canada has had in many a year. He has had that reputation from his opponents. He re established the annual camps for in- struction, (drill every vear), equipped the infantry forees with the modorn Lee-Euficld magazine rifles, and the artillery with new guns. He also founded the Army Medical and Army Service corps. Later there came the Army IntMligence and Army Signal ling corps. "In the last six years," says Col.
