Mr. Dawson took decided issue with the suggestion that the cost of com- Pensation should be capitatized bo cause that plan necessitated the col lection of the présent value of all moneys needed during the continuance of one's incapacity, and the. communi- ty should be called on to pay only the sums required plus a reasonable 1 nee for fluctuations. ihe chiet feature of Mr. Dawson's argument was against the agency system of com- Fpensation insurance as being the more expensive, as involving a diversion of at least twenty-five per cent. of the money for the purpose for which it shoul he applied. ; New York had been quoted as possessing a law of the most desirable character, snd My. Dawson warned Ontario against it because it entailed a diversion of at least fifty per cent. of the contribu- tions to legal and other expenses, A plea has been offered for a delay of the Compensation Bill because it is not: as completa as it should be made. It is opposed by the manufacturers on the ground that it easts too big a burden on the industries. Mr. Daw- son, the expert, says the bill as it stands is not only excellent, but far in advance of the exceedingly defec- tive legislation which has already been enacted in several provinces of Can ada, and of more than twenty of the states of the union. It is, therefore, a pretty good measure, and the soon- er it becomes law the better. EDITORIAL NOTES. Mr. Lancaster, M.P., says there is Tar Rowever, and a to dispense the patronage.

His career as a politician began whea he was only twenty-seven years of ago. At thirty he had become attorney- general of Manitoba and at thirty-five he was called on to join the new Liberal Government at Ottawa as Minister of the Interior. He broke with his colleagues over the autonomy bills and came out in active oppo sition to his party on the trade question. - SB CANDIDATES FOR JUDGESHIPS Appointments to Oncri> Dench At Early Date. | 'Ottawa, March 10.~Though no 'af- ficial -announcemient ' has yet heen made of the appointments to the Vacant Ontario judgeship, it is un- derstood that these will go through at any time now.

It only shows how little one man knows an- other man's business, If he had any knowledge of the milk business he would know that the samples he is taking are of no use to show the standard of the milk supply of Kings- ton. Being interested in my old business, I made a few inquiries among the milk men, and found that what 1 suspected was true. Every one has been short of milk this winter and . some had had to send long distances to get enough to sup- ply their customers. One man told me Mr. Gordon had a sample he had shipped in from Bath. Another one had just bought ten quarts from an- other milkman while waiting for the stage to bring him in another sup- Ply.. They are anxious to see if the samples of milk out of the same can will tally the same in Mr. Gordon's report. Now if Mr. Gordon would wait till about May when they have their reg- ular supply, his report might be of some benefit to show the standard of the milk supply, but now it is not worth the paper he writes it on as any one who understands the busi- ness will tell you . Some have to get their milk from three or four farmers. My milk man told me yesterday that my milk came from Collin's Bay, and would for two weeks longer, and never found better milk than is supplied in Kingston, and it is from one to three cents a quart: cheaper here than in other eities. If other things were as cheap accordingly as our milk, there would not be so much talk about the high cost of living.

T. 014- rieve, chief architect of the govern. ment office of works in Edinburgh, who, twe years ago, discovered at the rear of Holyrood palace the foun- dation of ene of the earliest Chris. tian churches, has announced that he has discovered remains in Edinburgh castle of the ancient fortress known as King David's tower. He has also found the well which supplied the castle and garrison with water, _ Excavations revealed much of King David's tower still standing, its walls eight feet thick, and rising to a height of nédrly fifty feet above the original rock Surface. On one fide the. structure had evidently suf- covery from thé Misi ioc wa +hiocann. of many articles, including cannon balls. The disappearance of the tower is explained by the fact that the Half Moon battery, a feature of Edinburgh castle, which has existed for nearly 350 yéars, covers it up en- tirely. Stalagmites rising from the ground, some exténding to seven feet 6 inches long, and the size of the stalactites' from tle roofs show that the vaults of the tower have not been disturbed. for a very long time. This discovery led to the finding of the ancient well, which Mr. Oldrieve regards as one the most interest- ing in Britain. ater was found in it to a depth of sixty feet. The well vas pumped dry, cleaned . out, and thoroughly surveyed. TRADES' UNIONS THREAT London Worknién May Building Trades.
