First\nhe lost Manitoba, then Ontario, then\nNew Brunswick. A straight Conservative government has taken the\nplace of a mixed organization in\nBritish Columbia. Today more\nthan half of the people ot Canada\nare under Conservative provincial\ngovernments. Those of Ontario,\nBritish Columbia and New Brunswick have been established since Sir\nWilfrid last appealed to the peoplo.\nllo has made it impossible for these\nadministrations to be neutral in the\ncoming fight. Moreover, the premier will find that the various machines which in times past manipulated ballots antl stole elections will\nno longer have the protection ot the\ndepartment of justice in the provinco where they have carried on the\nmost successful operations. Twice\nsince 1001 the peoplo of Ontarii\nhave condemned and sontenced this\n| machine and the party to which It\ntics. Mr. Mackenzie and Mr. Uluke belonged.

'Ihut does not onset what the people huve dono. It\nonly shows thut Sir Wilfrid is not\non iho side of the people,\nA Load to Carry.\nSir Wilfrid is further embarrassed\nwith tho presence in his cabinet uf\nthe chief personage of the iale i\ew\nBrunswick government, .which last\nMarch weut down In disgrace, be-\nl'ure an indignant population, and\nhas been still further discredited by\ndisclosures made since in the examination of the public accounts. Probably there was never in an orgau-\ni/.ed community outside of South\ntfuieriea, Turkey or higypt, such a\nrecord of private dealings with public funds. Ministers used the public treasury as a private bank, draw\ning money when they needed it, paying part of it book when Ihey were\nin funds, und then drawing more at\nelectiontinies. These transactions\nnever appeared in tho public accounts, and it was not until the\ngovernment was overthrown and auditors appointed that tho public understood what a \"suspense go-\ncount\" meant in New lir__wi_~ finance. Mr. Pugsley is busy explain\ning that he gave value in extra services for all the overdrafts which\nhe has returned to the treasury\nsinco the change of government.\nSome of these services were rendered\neight or ton years ago and wero\nsupposed to be settled for. Most\npeople thought they were excessively\nrewarded at the time, seeing that\nMr. Pugsley with\nof $2,100, was in the habit of draw\ning six to ten thousand dollars a\nyear from the treasury tor legal services.\nBather Cowardly.\nJust beforo parliament met last\nNovember Mr. Pugsley, speaking in\nNew Brunswick, made certain charges against Mr. Borden in regard to\ncampaign funds. When the houso\nmet ho was challenged to make his\ncharges there lo Mr. Borden's face.\nAmong others who made this challenge was Mr. A. E. Kemp, of Toronto. It camo naturally from him\nbecauso Mr. Pugsley's attack on Mr.\nBorden was in the form of a reply\nmade in Toronto by Mr. Kemp.\nWhon Mr. Kemp faced Mr. Pugsley\nin tho houso he said among ...othor\nthings':\n\"The Hon. Gentleman (Mr. Pugsley) has resorted to the lowest sort\nof a campaign in this mattor. He\nhus gone beforo public meetings of\nhis partisan supporters and ho has\nmade statements which I challenge\nhlm to make in this house face to\nface with us. Now I hope\nthatthe minister of public works will\ndeem it his duty to make good what\nhe has stated outside thc houso.\n. . if the Hon. Gentleman refuses\nto go further, if he is satislied to\nmake statements and insinuations in\na way he has done outside of this\nhouse without taking stops to make\nhis position good, I cannot but feel\nthat he Is condemned boforo tho\ncountry for making statements that\nlie know were untrue. Sir, he has\ntalked of these things on the hustings, but he hns sat in this house\nliko a whipped spaniel not dnring to\nnpen hls mouth. He is now at the\nbar of public opinion and let him\nchoose his course.\"\nMr. Pugsley continued to sit like a\nwhipped spaniel during tho seven\nmonths of the session, and though\nrepeatedly challenged, made no attempt to substantiate in Mr. Borden's presence what he said about\nhim when Mr. Borden was thousands\nof miles awny. But, strange to say\nnn the second political meeting when\nthe minister nddrcssed tn his own\nprovince nftor the session wns ovor,\nho returned to the old slanders, nail\ninly explained bis silence in tlio\nhouse by easing thnt Mr. Komp was\nunworthy nf his nttontlon, though it\nwns the same Mr. Komp whoso remarks called forth Mr. Pugsley's original statements.\nLibel Suits That Failed.\nIt may be further remembered thut\nwhen Mr. Pugsley .made his first\ncharge a Toronto newspaper pointed out that Mr. Pugsley himself hud\nbeen accused of conspiring a m\nyears before for the overthrow of\nthe Laurier govornmoul, whloh he\nwos then pretending to support. Mr.\nPugsley ut once gave notice of a\nlibel suit, which tho paper welcomed\nas likely to throw somo light on a\nmysterious chnpter of Cnnudlnn political history. Mr. Pugsley never\nproceeded with this suit, nor with\nnoy others thnt he threatened. It\nwas Mr. Pugsley, who as Mr. Em-\nmerson's adviser, instituted proceedings for criminal libel In tho\nwine, women and graft\" . affair.\nThnt suit also collapsed, together\nwith three civil libel suits instituted\nin th\u00C2\u00A9 samo matter, Mr. Pugsley and\ndenly appearing afterwards as Mr.\nIs: LEAGUE OPENS\nJSUiNJDAA\nNanaimo United Meet \ aneouvor in\nuponmg fJunio tm urioivot\nti rounds.\nThe Pacific Uoust Association\nji'uuilmU League opens on Sunday alternoon .

F.nough\nwas discovered last session iu dredging contracts alono to show that\nthis minister is an easy mark for\ncontractors. That was illustrated\nin the new contracts given on tho\nlakes. It wus also found that one\ndredging company, working in the\nSt. John harbor, in ten months received $375,000, and it is stated on\ngood authority that $100,000 of\nthis covered nil operating expenses,\n$150,000 purchased and repaired the\ndredge, leaving the company $125,-\n000 i roiit and the dredge to the\ngood. The chief member of this\ncompany is tho son of a member of\nparliament and obtained tho contract without tender. Just now\nMr. Pugsley finds It necessary to\nuOquiro for his party a newspaper in\nSt. John, and it is a significant\nfact that tho chief movers in that\nonterprlso are mon with dredging\ncontracts.

Mayor Nlchulsun describes it\nus a dilllcult problem, and there Is\nlittle room for doubt that whatever\ncourse of action tho Council takes,\nwill be bitterly and severely critici--\ned. l-erjiape it is all the better\nthat opinion on tho subject is\novenly divided, for it at toast places\nthe aldermen in au easy position.\nAnd really we aro unablo to see any\ncause for hesitation. As-the matter stands tho city cannot interfere\nany further with tho sidewalk, nor\nwill it be in a position to assume\nthe obligations of lowering it for;\nyenrs to come. This fact alone\nshould bo justificution for the alteration ol the original grade to tlml\nat which the sidewalk is now laid.\nThe profile prepared by Mr. King\nand exhibited at the Council meeting\non Monday evening, shows that tho\nsidewalk requires to bo lowered a-\nbout two feet at tho curncr of Blair\nand Adam's store, over three feet in\nfront of the Europe hotel, and over\nfour feet at the corner of High\nstreet. Now, supposing the sidewalk was lowered to this level, tho\ntho obligation would legally full upon the city either of compensating\ntho property-owners affected, or of\nputting down the houses and business premises to the same grade. It\nneeds no expert nt figures to see\nthat in its presont state the city\ncould never undertake such an enterprise. That being so thero is really\nnothing to be said against the proposal to establish tho grado of the\npresent sidewalk as the official city\nlevel. If in thc future the city should\ngrow in extent and in wealth then\nit will be Just ns easy for the council of thot day to again altor the\ngrade and restore it to its original\nlevel. Howovor, for the present thero\nis renlly no grounds for argument,\nand the only possible solution consistent with n propor encouragement\nto building, is to fix tho official\ngrade of the street ns that at which\nthe present sidowalk is laid.\nchell, the hitherto unbeaten middle'\nweight champion of tho world, went\ndown and out to Billy, 'Papke, t\\nfighter from Milwaukee whom Stanley had already onco defeated.\nTho first result is that Stanley's\nhard won fame and ruddy glory have\ndepartod from him.
