With\nblinding tears, burning their way down\nher cheeks, which from ashen white\nflushed crimson, she admitted that after\n.her flrst experience with Stanford White,\n'. her relations with the architect continued months, but that was not all. There\nwere other confessions, which while\n\u25a0 damaging to her character accentuated\n\u25a0ithe more the terrible personal sacrifice\n;Bhe Is making lu the effort to save her\n.husband from death in the electric chair.\n1 The case has progressed to the point\nwhere the defeudant has been all but\nlost sight of. His girt-like wife is the\n: figure upon whom the stress of the trial\n.is the greatest. She, whose past has\n.been searched and who Is being held up\nito scorn by the prosecuting officer.\n'Thaw, his face buried In his hands,\n: might easily have been out of the court\n\u2022room picture today for none would have\n.missed him. All eyes were turned toward the witness, the slight woman in\nIblue, during the morning. Today at\nall times Mrs. Thaw has had to rest on\nithe edge of the chair in order that her\nifeet might reach the floor. To make her\n\u2022more comfortable, a footstool was provided during the afternoon.\nAt the close of the most eventful day\nof the trial, Mr. Jerome announced tha*\nprobably he would keep her under fir;\nfor two more days. Adjournm . >. has\nbeen taken until Monday morning, although during the day justice Fi.*ntr:tM\n\u25a0aid that to accommodate out of town\nWitnesses, he would hold court both tomorrow, a holiday, and Saturday.\nThere was no subject affecting the wit\nness of bo intimate a nature that th'-*\ndistrict attorney hesitated to hold it\n.before the gaze of the world, all the while\nrequiring that she recognise and own\n-the fault ln her own damning words.\n\"When Jerome waB flaying the witness\n--with questions as to her relations with\n' White, carrying her from place to place\nand demanding to know every detail and\n\u25a0while bitter tears were swelling in he\n\u2022eyes, two newspaper women, accustom-\n\u25a0ed to harsher scenes of life, left their\n-places in tjje court room and made a\nVhasty retreat through the big portals.\nAt last the prosecutor himself relented\nsomewhat and suggested that the proceedings be suspended, Mr. Delmai\n\u25a0thought he detected an unfavorable slant\ntto this and protested that the w)tne33\n-would be able to proceed. Mrs. Thaw\nwiped her eyes, stiffened up a bit anl\n\u25a0nodded to Mr, Jerome to go on. After\nbringing out that her relations with\nWhite continued for some time, Mr.\nJerome went deeper. Mrs. Thaw admitted that in 1903, after the return\nfrom Europe, she spent a night at\nThaw's apartments in New York and\nfor three weeks he and sh\u00ab occupied\nconnecting apartments at the Orand\nhotel in this city. Mrs. Thaw admitted,\nwith astonishing frankness, that the\nchampagne which sne had declared\ntasted bitter the night she lost consciousness tn the mirrored bedroom, was\nno more bitter than any champagne she\never drank. In fact, she declared lt\ntasted like all the rest. She denied that\nnhe Intended to assume otherwise.\nWhat was considered, perhaps, her\nmost damaging statement to the defendant, was when she said she showed him\ncopies of cablegrams that were being\naent to Stanford White from Europe astt-\nlng him to use his influence with a certain man In London to prevent Mrs. Nesbit from \"raising a fuss\" and from Inter-\n;fering with her daughter Evelyn, remaining In the company ot Thaw, Mrs.\n'.Thaw was also forced lo admit that when\n\u2022.she and her mother went abroad with\n'Thaw in lbu-3 they were still drawing\nupon the bounty of Stanford White, She\ndeclared that she had a letter of credit\nfor $400 or $500 which was given her by\nWhite, which she turned over to Thaw.\nThere was still a balance In the Mercantile Trust company to her order, she also admitted. \"But Mamma got all of\nthat,\" said the witness.\nMr. Jerome dwelt for a long time upon the cablegrams which Thaw is said\nto have sent to White, He brought out\nthat the cablegrams were sent after\nThaw knew of the relations which\nbud existed between Miss Nesbit and\nthe architect. Mrs. Thaw would not\n-admit that she knew positively who sent\nthe cablegrams or whether her name was\n.signed to them.\n\"Surety,\" remarked Mr. Jerome, \"you\n.don't mean ta say that he signed hla own\n\u2022name?\"\n\"No,\" replied Mrs. Thaw, \"I don't\nmean that at all.\"\nA letter written by Mrs, Thaw ln 1904\nitelling of her gay life In far'e wtth\nHarry Thaw and \"a bun i from the\n.-tenderloin,\" was read to the jury by Mr.\n-Jerome. This brought out more te.it.-\nxnony as to the Rat Mort, a PariaUn\nwitness' past' life of which the pros wt-\ntor was not Informed. He seemed to be\nable to trace her every step and this\nseems to be largely due to the typewritten statement of the young woman's\nmother, which he nearly always held in\nhis hands, when hurling telling questions at the daughter. Written in single\nspaced typewriting the statement\nseems to cover fully 75 pages. But the\nsensations did not all come from the dl-J-\ntiTct attorney. Mr, Delmas sent a thr-'l\nthrough the courtroom by declaring that\nhe was informed it was the purpo*.* of\nMr. Jerome to indict Mrs, Thaw. M*.\nJerome denied that any such statements\nhad been made, but he did not deny\nsuch a purpose. This Incident happened near the close of the forenoon session\nwhen Mr. Jerome, in an effort to make\nthe defence produce certain letters from\nStanford White, which Mrs. Thaw hal\ndeclared were In the possession of Cllf\nford Hartrldge, one of her husband's attorneys, called Mr. Hartrldge to the witness stand. The lawyer declined to answer all questions relating to the letters\nand when lt became necessary for him to\ngive some better reason than the mere\nfact that he was attorney of record for\nthe defence, Mr. Delmas explained that\nMr. Hartrldge had been retained by Mrs.\nThaw to protect her interests when she\nheard that she was to be Indicted. During the afternoon when Mrs. Thaw had\nbeen recalled she declared she was perfectly witling that the letters be produced.\n\"They are your property are they\nnot?\" asked Mr. Jerome.\n\"No, I gave them to Mr. Thaw\"\nMr Jerome directed his assistant, Mr.\nUarvan, to have a subpoena issued for\nMr. Hartrldge. When this was done, Mr.\nJerome again demanded the letters.\nMr. Hartrldge said that he had no intention of complying because he had received the letters from the hands of the\ndefendant. Mr. Jerome appealed to jus\ntlce Fitzgerald. He had neglected to\nhave an affidavit made as to the service\not the subpoena and justice Fitzgerald\nsaid that there was nothing upon which\nhe could act. Mr. Garvan was directed\nby tils chief to draw up the. affidavit.\nThere the matter rested, however, for\nMr. Jerome made no further move In\nthe matter.\nJust after the luncheon recess, the dls\ntrict attorney sought permission to dls\nontlnue the cross-examination of Mrs.\nThaw long enough to take the testimony\nof Drs, Deemer, of Kitauntng, Pa., and\nBingham of Pittsburg, both of whom are\nto testify to traces of insanity in both\nbranches of the defendant's family. Mr.\nJerome said that he was informed the\nphysicians were about to leave the jurisdiction of the court.\n\"They are returning to Pittsburg to\nnight,\" said Mr. Hartrldge, \"but they\nwould be back at any time they are\nwanted Mrs, Thaw is u u\". a futisL severe strain, and the examination should\nbe concluded at once.\"\nIu view of the district att-j' _cy\"s statement, justice Fitzgerald ::.\u00ab\u25a0\u25a0.\u25a0*._\u25a0. ----curs\nDeemar and Bingham shoj\\l be ki-arJ.\nThey were called to the stand and said\nthat while they were anxious to get\nback to their patients, they would stay it\nnecessary.\nMr. Jerome Insisted that their testimony be taken and Thaw's counsel insisted that Mrs. Thaw's cross-examination proceed.\n\"We will settle the matter by sitting\ntomorrow and Saturday,\" said judge\nFitzgerald. Just before adjournment Mr.\nJerome weakened. He laid that he felt\nthe physicians would be available when\nwanted and asked tbat the recess over\nthe holiday and until Monday be taken.\nCounsel for the defence said they would\nconsent, for their position in tbe matter\nremained unchanged. Mrs, Thaw will\nbe upon the stand ail of Monday and\nprobably all of Tuesday.\n&.C.

Undoubtedly hlB declaration at Strathroy\nwill do Ontario and Canada a great service. Even now neither party will deny\nthat a non-partisan civil service Is highly desirable. But adoption of the principle has been prevented hitherto, because of the political advantage to be\ngained in the manipulation of public\noffice to party ends. Mr. Whitney missed a great opportunity for public service wheu he allowed patronage committees and members of parliament to select\nparty workers for vacant government positions. He and his followers rightly\ncondemned the Ross government for this\nsort of peanut politics, and it does seem\nremarkable that they did not signalize\ntheir return to offlce by changlug a\nsystem provocative of so much dissatisfaction and corruption.\nIf Mr. Graham will have the courage\nio make civil service reform the main\nplank In bis platform, even though the\nfederal liberals regard him as the propagator of a vicious heresy, he will gain\nenormously In the estimation of rlght-\nihlnking people In Ontario, both liberals\nand conservatives, and will render the\npossibility of his accession to tho prem-\n.ershlp somewhat more definite.\nThere can be no defence for a policy\nwhich uses the clerkship of a division\ncourt as u reward for side-line canvassing. Ii Is illogical and thoroughly Improper. If Mr. Graham pledges himself\nio do everything possible to change this\nevil system it will be a proof that, so\nfar as the Ontario liberal party Is concerned, old things have passed away,\nand, behold, all things have become new.\nIt Is intimated that among the chief\nmatters to be dealt with at the coming\n.-esslon of the leglslaure will be increases\nin the ministerial salaries and in the\nmembers' Indemnities. The Idea is that\nihe prosperity brought about ln British\nColumbia by the McBrlde government\nnultles the ministers to an additional\n$1000 a year each for their services and\nalso warrants an increase In the sessional Indemnity from $800 to |1200.\nNOVEL LIBRARY CONTEST.\nHandsome Collection of Books and Oak\nCase for Winning Organization.\nP.

These men opposed\nthe Imposition of any duty and now took\nthe first opportunity to get the tnrlff lowered.\nS. S. Fowler said the imposition ot the\nduty hud steadied the lead Industry. It\nhad tended to Increase the manufactories\nIn Canada. The duty had been ti per cent\non dry white lend, which was increased to\n22 1-2 per cent. Tho Carter White Lend\ncompany l*nd been established.

Macdonald thought there wus no\nJustification for lowering the duty.\n8. S.

Thaw for the murder of\nStanford White Is being held. Sometime before the hour for opening of court\nthe room was crowded and a long line\n\u25a0was waiting at the -door. Thaw entered\nthe court immediately after the jury\nwithout waiting to be formally called\nto the bar. His hair was crushed and\nhis manned was eager and nervous. He\ncarried a large pad of paper and utter\ntaking his seat proceeded to make notes\nof his wife's testimony. When judge\nFitzgerald had taken his place on the\nbench there was a conference among\nthe attorneys and lt was decided mere\nwould be no session tomorrow, Washington's birthday. When Mrs. Thaw was\n-called to the stand she gave her usual\nglance at her husband and smiled, then\nshe glanced to justice Fitzgerald and\nsmiled a little bow at him, but the\njustice failed to notice.\nMr. Jerome called Mrs. Thaw's attention to her closing testimony of yesterday in order that she might pick up the\nstring of the story.\n\"Did you continue to believe all women were unchaste as Stanford White\ntold you until you talked with Thaw in\nParis in 1903?\"\n\"Yes, sir,\" replied Mrs. Thaw, meekly.\n\"Do you know a place called the Rat\nMort?\"\n\"Yes.\"\n\"Where Is It?\"\n\"Somewhere in Paris.\"\n\"Have you ever been there?\"\n\"Yes.\"\n\"What sort of a place is It?\"\n\"A cafe.\"\n\"Is it reputable?\"\n\"I don't know.\"\n\"Did It seem reputable to you?1\n\"I don't know, people were\nabout eating.\"\n\"And somebody dancing?\"\n\"I believe so.\"\n\"Was it 2 o'clock in the morning?\"\n\"Possibly.\"\n\"Did you see a cake-walk?\"\n\"No, I think there was a Russian\ndance.\"\n\"Was It before or after Thaw proposed\nthat you went to the Rat Mort?\"\n\"After.\"\n\"Was it In 1903?\"\n\"No, I think lt was during the second\ntrip in 1904.\"\n\"How many times were you at the\nRat Mort?\"\n\"1 think only once,\"\n\"Wilh whom did you go?\"\n\"With Mr. Thaw and Mr. Hubert, a\ntheatrical man, and another man.\"\n\"I will whisper a name to you and\nask tf the man was there.\"\nMr. Jerome whispered and Mrs. Thaw\nshook her head.\n\"Were there auy ladies in the party?\"\n\"I think there were, with Mr. Hubert.\"\n\"Did you see many ladies of the\ndemi monde at tbe Rat Mort?\" began\nMr. Jerome.\nMr. Delmas objected.\n\"1 am using the witness' own expression,\" said Mr, Jennie,\n\"I never said that,\" ejaculated Mrs.\nThaw Indignantly.\n\"Didn't you use the expression lu a\nletter?\" Again Mr. Delmas objected and\nwas sustained,\n\"Don't you know what I mean?\" asked\nMr. Jerome of the witness, \"when l say.\ndid you see many of the bunch from tho\ntenderloin there?\"\n\"I think- so.\"\n\"Have you any doubt?\n\"No.\"\n\"Do you know Miss Winchester?\"\n\"Slightly.\"\n\"Did you see her do a Cakewalk at\nthe Rat Mort that night?\"\n\"I don't remember.\"\n\"In whoBe handwriting is this letter?\" asked Mr. Jerome, handing her several written sheets,\n\"Mr. Thaw's I think.\"\n\"Have you any doubt on it?\"\n'i don't think I have.\"\nMr. Jerome then offered the letter in\nevidence. Mr. Delmas objected that It\nwas a mutual letter and the date was not\nfixed,\n\"Do you know of your own knowledge when this letter was written?\"\n\"I have not the siigbtost Idea\"\n\"Will you note the pageing of that\nletter?\"\n\"Yes.\" -~ -\u00bb\u25a0-\u2022-:,\u25a0;\n\"Did not you and Mr. Thaw, while ln\nPari-, write joint letters to friends, yon\nwriting part and he the rest?\"\n\"I cannot say positively, very likely\nwe did.\"\n\"Had you changed you opinion in regard to the general chastity of women?\"\n\"I had.\"\n\"Before the time you left Paris, hnd\nyou any appreciation that meretricious\nrelations between men and women wore\nimmoral and wrong?\"\n\"Not until after my talk with Mr, Thaw.\"\n\"Before thnt you illil not believe It wns\nwrong 7\"\n\"Oh, yes; 1 knew people snld It was\nwroiiR.\"\n\"Did you think it very Indelicate and\nviilgnr?\"\n\"That Is nil.\"\nyttl Pnrla It Wim Impressed upon you thai\nWhite hnd done you a terrible wrong?\"\n\"In a way.\"\n\"Hrul you come to n full understanding\nof the Infnmoiis charaoter of White's net?\"\n\"Yes; but not ho much ns I luiye now.\"\n\"Yet It wns this that Induced your re-\nmmclntlon of Thaw's great loveV\nMr. Delmas objected to what he tlioua-nt\na sneer In the question and w-jir sustained.\n\"Did you refuse Thaw Holely because ol\nthe occurrence wltli White?\" .\n\"-Because I hud been round out.\"\n\/Who told you you hnd been caught?\"\n\"Friends of White.\"\n\"So It wns not becuuse of the occurrence\nbut becauie you had been found out?\"\n\"It was both together.\"\ntions in Pianos\nMust be Sold Before February 28\nOur announcement of the last few days that we were blocked with pianos has had the effect of clearing outsome of our bargains,\nbut we must make room for our regular line of Mason & Risch Pianos that are now on the way from the factory,so we have decided\nto offer the entire lot of American Pianos at prices that will never occur again in the interior.

The\nacta Beemed horrible to her then.\nReverting to her letter to White written\n\u25a0from Boulogne, she repeated that .har\nmother had made her write. She had -not\ntold her mother about her ravishment.\n\"You would rather write to this gTeat\nbrute, this monster, as you believe .him,\nthan tell her?\" remarked Mr. Jerome.\n\"I'd imher have died than tell her,\"\nwas tho reply,\nMr. Jerome then read scraps of a letter\nwhich Mrs. Thaw had snld waa ln her\nhusband's writing. It read: \"He couldn't\nkeep his eyes off n pretty girl. There was\ntrouble because we went there to dinner.\n(Several beautiful girls were here !>>st week.\nNobody paid any attention nnd she went\naway In a few minutes. The first time she\ncame to Evelyn she never spoke. Eve yn\ncried. For some reason Bhe did not perform well. I introduced tlie ladles to her\nand she grinned sweetly.

Heavy seas quickly pounded\nthe vessel to pieces. She broke In two,\nher forepart sinking immediately while\nthe doomed passengers and crew could\nbe seen for a brief space clustered on the\nafterpart. Then the latter slipped off\nthe ledge and disappeared In the mountainous water. Tugs and lifeboats promptly put out to the assistance of the\nBerlin, but the violence of the gale and\nthe heavy seas made It Impossible to approach the wreck, and the helpless spectators saw the steamer break up and the\ncrew and passengers washed away without being able to render the slightest\nassistance. One man, an Englishman,\nwas saved. He was unconscious when\ndragged out of the water and taken\nashore and had not regained consciousness when he was carried to a hotel in\nthe neighborhood. By 11 o'clock iu the\nmorning 25 bodies had been washed\nashore.\nThe Berlin left Harwich at. 10 o'clock\nlast night upon the arrival of the London train with the greater number of\npassengers, who subsquently lost their\nlives. The steamer should have reached\nthe Hook of Holland at 6 o'clock thiB\nmorning and would have proceeded for\nRotterdam. A great gale was biowiug\nIn the North Sea when the Berlin started, but the weather was no worse than\non the previeus night when similar vessels made the trip without mishap. As\ntne Benin was entering the waterway at\nthe entrance of the river, however, she\nappeared to become unmanageable on\naccount of the force of the wind and was\ndriven ashore. The alarm was giveu\nand lifeboats from the shore proceeded\nto the assistance of the stricken steamer,\nbut the seas were so high that the boatt\nwere unable to approach, the lifeboat\nmen had to stay helpless while the\nsteamer pounded until she broke in two.\nEvery soul on board was carried down.\nShe apparently struck about amidships,\nas her forepart broke off and sank immediately while her after part could be\nseen for a considerable time afterwards.\nThe waterway in which the disaster\noccurred ts a uew one on the north s.ue\nof which is the pier and railroad station. The steamer must have been\nwithin a few minutes of tieing up after\nher rough passage across the North Sea\nwhen Bho was overtaken by the disaster.\nLand was but a few yards away aud excepting the rough weather, those on\nboard the Berlin could havo been rescued without difficulty, especially as the\nwaterway is navigable at all times.\nThe Berlin was a steel steamer, only\n12 years old and popular with the travel-\nlug public to the north of Europe. In\nsummer Bhe usually was crowded with\npassengers, but at this time of the year\nthe average was about as It was last\nnight, the number equally divided between first and second class. One of\nthe Inspectors of the railroad, who saw\nthe steamer train off at the Liverpool\nstreet station, said last night that he\nthough there were more flrstclass pas-\nsougers than second class, most of them\nbeing commercial men or persons having\nprofessional business engagements on\nthe continent, or Inhabitants of the continent, returning home from business\ntrips to Great Britain. Much difficulty\nIs being experleuced In obtaining tbe\nnames of the passengers as the tickets\nwere purchased from many agencies in\nLondon and other cities, while some of\n\u2022the travellers may nave had'return tickets. The only names the company are\nsure of are those of passengers who secured reserved berths and the company's\nagents are being asked to send in immediately to headquarters the names ol'\nall such persons. The members of the\ncrew totalled fifty, and were mostly\nEnglishmen from Harwich. The officers were captain Precious, flrst officer.\nC. Morsley, second officer J. Whatt.\ncnlef engineer Bennan, four assistant\nengineers and four stewardesses.\n\u25a0Rotterdam, Feb. 21\u2014-The agents of the\nwrecked steamer Berlin say that although they are not positive regarding\nthe numbers, they believe that the vessel carried 120 passengers and a crew Of\n60 officers and men.\nLondon, Fob. 21.\u2014The Great Eastern\nRailway company officially confirms\nthe loss of the steamer Berlin with all\non board, off the coast of Holland. The\nBerlin carried passengers and crew to\nthe number of 141. Among those drowned are 19 members of the German Opera\ncompany, who had jiiBt concluded their\nseason at Covent Garden. Arthur Herbert, one of the king's messengers, who\nwas joucneylng to the continent, waa\nalso lost. The manager of the Covent\nGarden opera house confirmed the statement that 19 members of the German\nOpera company left last night on the\nsteamer Berlin.\n\"So far as wt*\u00bb know,\" he said, \"these\ndid not Include any of the star artists,\nas the party was made up of members\nof the chorus returning to their homes.\nThey made arrangements directly with\nthe railway company, so we are not yet\nable to get an exact list of their names.\n\"Tbe disaster has aroused the most\nIntense alarm among the other members\nof the company owing to the friendship\nand relations existing.\" Among the\nmembers of the German Opera company\nknown to have been drowned, Is Mrs.\nBertram, wife of the well known baritone, Theodore Bertram, who sailed for\nRotterdam a day previous to the departure of his wife.\nWith the exception of the opera company, there were only four women and\ntwo children among the passengers, the\nother travellers being chiefly business\nmen. Among the latter were several\ndiamond merchants who doubtlessly carried valuable parcels of diamonds and,\nbesides, the purser had In his safe packages of diamonds valued at several thousand pounds sterling.\nFAVOR PUBLIC CONTROL\nINTERESTING DEBATE AT CHURCHMEN'S CLUB\nRELATION OP PUBLIC OWNERSHIP\nTO PUBLIC SERVICE\nThe principal feature of a very enjoyable smoker given by the churchmen's club\nInst night was ;i debute on the following\nresolution: \"Resolved thst lhe public ownership of public utilities ln the present\nstate of the civil service, would not be productive uf public good.\" This was supported by R. J. Clark and Rev. K. H.\nGraham, while A. W. Dyer and John\nFraser spoke on the negative side.\nMr, Clark. In opening for the resn.mion,\ndefined public utilities to mean such thing-*\n-ih telegraphs, telephones, railways, light,\nwater and sewer systems, hut declared\nthat coal, at present, was not In that category. He admitted the postofflce was\nrun everywhere by the government and\nthat no mutter what the state of the civil\nservice, there could he no return to private\nownership. Hut If the principle there involved were extended It would mean that\ntlie largest employer of labor would be\nthe public, ft would then bo absolute y\nnecessary Khat the civil service be holiest,\nThat wns not at present Its characteristic.\nWholesale dishonesty was charged ngalnst\ngovernment officials, and not soilously\ndenied. Hence the civil service cou'd not\nmaintain an efficient administration of\nnubile Utilities, Nor was there a remedy\nin the public themselves, as the youth of\nCanada wero blunted In their moral consciousness by the sight of graft in politics.\nA. W. Dyer, replying, suld that the\ntrouble was the civil service. There was\nun efficient civil service In other parts of\nthe empire and In Prance and there existed no reason why lt shou'd not obtain here.\nIf all preferments were taken out of Uie\nhands of the members of legislatures, a\nnon-political set of commjBslon-a'ra appointed and a competitive system adopted, Canada could at least do as well us other\nplaces. The way to force such a change\nwould be by the adopt'on of the principle\nof public ownership for if the civil service'\nwero not reformed such a condition or\ncorruption would arise as the nation would\nnever permit.\nRev. P. H. Qraham declared the last\nspeaker's plan was extraordinary, it was,\nIn effect, to give the government of the\ndny enough rope to hang themselves and\nwhen they had been swept away by an Indignant people then would come tho mll-\nlenlum. It was admitted that the governments were mado up of politicians seeking merely their own advancement, like\nmaster like man. Such men could only\nappoint men like themselves, and corruption wou'd bo ten times worse than at\npresent. There was an Instance of public\nownership In tho postofflce whero It was\n:in even chance whether a. letter was or\nwas not received. Another Instance, the\nIntercolonial, Mr. Graham had also experienced, and found the food bad and the\nprivacy of the sleoperB conspicuous by Its\nabsence.\nJohn Praser, closing the debate, admitted\nthe bad state of tho civil service. Ho instanced tho contract on the local court-\nhoufjir which wns given by a conservative\ngovernment to a liberal contractor. Many\nconservtlves had declared this bad politics.\nWhat was morally wrong, however, could\nnot be polttlelly right. But the remedy\nlay in tiie entire divorce of the civil service from politics. Mr, Graham had said\nthat If the government were the employers\na strike against them would be a revolution, but strikes had not happened under\nthe management of lhe postofflce. The\nadministration of railways lately hud\nshown coal being shipped from Kootenay\nand the coast to American points when the\nCanadian smelters were tied up tor tho\nwant of fuel. Public ownership cou'd not\nho guilty of such an error. As to the administration of the Intcrtoolontuli, the\nspeaker related Instances he had seen on\nprivate railways, relating also to the separation of the sexes, which were at least\nequally bad. Mr. Praser ended by stating his opinion that if the civil service\nwere reformed, all other things would\nfollow.\nun a vote being taken ihe resolution \"'as\nlost hy an overwhelming majority.\nC. P.
