in doing so they would but discharge a bounden duty.o attempt \u2018to work upon the feelings and emotions of parents and children, whose hearts have been stirred by thd heroic eelf- sacrifice_of the late Sarah Maxwell, in the hope of advancing the cause of this enterprise, is, however, a Sorry misuse of so eplendid an act of faithfudn and devotion.here is a genuime desire on the part of people of all classes to recognize this déed of hefoism; but they want the deed recognized.for the deed\u2019s sake.This is tbe only spirit in which proper recognition can be made.We owe a duty to the General Hospital, but that duty and the just demand for recognition of Sarah Maz- well\u2019s heroism have no relation the one to the other.Recognition of cur debt of gratitude to Sarah Maxwell may be most fittingly expressed by the \u2018erection of a splendid monument in one of the public squares of the city, a monument that shall perpetuate the name of Sarah Maxwell and the story of ber heroic devotion and unfailing - love \u2018for the children in her care, and a source of inspiration to this and future generations, -Objections against the eree- tion of a monument on the ground that a monument would, serve no useful purpose, are nearly akin to the complaint made against the women who anointed \"the Saviour\u2019s feet with precious ointment, when it might have been \u2018sold for three hundred pence and given to the poor\u201d We must do our duty to the sick;

March 4.\u2014 The executive council of the I.O.F.Was in eession to-day arranging the details of the funeral of the late Dr- Oronhyatekha.The members were all present, with the exception of Mr.Victor Morin, of \u2018Montreal, and Mr.J.D.Clark of Daytan, Ohio.The anhouncement was made that the body would reach the city at 10.50 Wednesday moming.At the Union Station it will be met by the members of the executive council and head office staff, also: a uniformed guard, composed- of.Royal Forestérs.The 48th Highlanders band will furnish the funeral music.~The cortdge will proceed.to Massey Hall, where the remains will lie: during the afternoon, when an opportunity will be given to the members of the -order to take a last view.of the face of their lamented chief.An public memorial service will be held n y evening in Massey Hall, when, in all probability, a eulogy will be pronounced by Rev.Dr.W.J.MecCaughan, of the First Presbyterian Church, Chicago.When Dr, Me Caughan .was pastor of New St.Andrew\u2019s Church, Toronto, he was one of the closest \u2018personal friend of the deceased, and continued \"so.up to the end.: \u2018 As regards Dr.Oronhyatekha\u2019s successor, Supreme Secretary Mathison said this subject - had not been considered by the executive council, and no step would be taken in this diree- tion until after obsequies had been completed.In the meantime, the executive council has itself all the powers of the supreme chief ranger, and will be required to fill the vacancy in the chortest possible time.It is said to be untrue, as alleged in a morning paper, that Mr.Victor Morin is temporarily the head of.the order.There are certain conditions under which he would assume charge, but those conditions, it is said, do not exist now.x \u2018RALPH CONNOR

the William of to-day, though a war lord, is not the totem of any Brit.J ish faction.Ke is the nephew of the King, and the worst his statue is likely to suffer is that some very naughty little boys

sucosssfully \u2018kept out of the papers\u2019 Can nothing be done to prevent this daily crushing to death apd injuring of human beings?Instead of the past horrors impelling the companies to

inérease when compared with the one before it, and ao -On.Dismay and indignation are expressed on all sides, but nothing in the way of amendment seems to be attempted.In Jess than two months of this year, in the United States, nearly two hundred people were killed in railway wrecks, and over four hundred were injured.In seven disasters on five railways in January a hundred and twenty-fhree were killed and three hundred and thirteen were maimed.During July, Aujust and September of last year, the bulletin of ; the Interstate Commerce Commission | states that there were 1,182 killed and, 18,668 injured.And nearly all railway\u2019 \u2018accidents\u2019 are preventable; nearly all of ; them are que to errors or carelessness of employees or the failure of signals to] act; confusion of erders and heedliessness account for some of the worst of them.But even where criminality is proved, nobody is ever punished.As a remedy | the Interstate \u2018Commerce Commission suggests making the block system universal on all lines.Our own Railway Commission announced that it would make a rigid inquiry into this matter some time ago, but that is the last anybody seems to have heard of it.It ie | now suggested thai government should).eppdint a bureau, or court, to {avesti-|- gate all railway di §, as miabine dis asters\u2019 are investigated and judged.One is certainly as necessary.as the other in

Legislature which establishes in principle the referendum the Montreal Citi zens\u2019 delegation went to Quebec to ask for just a week ago.The Prime Minister is to be congratulated in thus exactly interpreting the wishes of the people, and in.giving further proof that the confidence reposed in him has not béen misplaced.\u2018Government for the people, \u2018by the people, that is my law,\u2019 he told the deputation last week, and that is the basis on which the measure stands.There will, of course, be some interested obtery of an attack on the~qutonomy of the City Council; but in the light of recent.events, the people plainly need to be put in a position to protect thémaelves even, from those who were chosen to represent them.The next move of interest will come from the Montreal Light, Heat and Power peaple, What will they say mow in reply to Ald.Pay- ette\u2019s offer?Then will come the reference of the whole agreement to the people and the same contest between the public and private interests and resources fought out on a broader field.\u2014\u2014-attzt The British House of Commens bas voted for disestablishment by over two to one.No action is proposed.It is simply the expression of a pious or impious opinion; according as we may.view it.This is remarkable as being the first time parliament has failed to support the venerable relationship between church and state, if venerable that can be called that,in its present form, dates from Henry the Eighth, who dethroned the Pope and set himself up in his place as head of the church.The last parliament would have given a larger majority on the other side.There is & curious synchronism between this action and the movement in France, and\u2018 in lesser dégree in Spain.But it is probably, for the most part, only a coincidence, as the movement far disestablishment in England has been a steady] and growing one for generations.It is not like that in France, a mere non-reli- gious revolt against a denstionalising influence, but is due to the increase of religious convictions against the principle of establishment.No one tan easily doubt thet the -conuiction expressed in FE = tend \u2018a titled gentleman who has been |ly.and that all religious privilege and preference will be removed from the constitu- sion.But the English people move slow- There is many another inconsistency besides this one in their constitution which they Jove and cling to.Threat ened institutions, like threatened men, live long.Disestablishment will not weaken the church either in France or England.Undue privileges are not an aid to, but a clog upon, real spiritual influence.Mr.Birrell says of the Anglican Church that far from harming it epir- itually, disestablishment would restore it to a position of spiritual authority throughout the land.Mr.Birrell cannot see how the continuance of the Established Church can be justified; but says the government\u2019s hands are too full to set about disestablishment just now.None need wonder at that.It will be mo child\u2019s play, but a battle of giants when it does come.; =e are The killing of the United States Ship Subsidy Bill, although, of course, a tragic event, had ite humors.The bill has been before the Senate for two years, and its final despatch was a hu- milisting one\u2014it was \u2018talked out.\u2019 Nena.tor Carmack was one of the \u2018talkers out,\u2019 and he and his friends seem to have managed the matter int a.way that would have done eredit to the late Joseph Biggar and the degignedly ob structionist Home Rule party.Sexator Carmack only talked nominally, it seems, about the bill in question\u2014as Biggar once read through a book which he insisted was pertinent to the issue\u2014 and, when he got tired of talking, He had friends to interrupt him, so the he conid rest his voice.The gem of the story is that Sepater Frye, the aroh- advocate of the ehip subsidy bill, \u2018glared * balefully and fidgeted impotently.\u2019 * But 1

has always been a difficult subject for governments to tackle.Not that ministers desire to re- U tain the patronage system, for none know better than they de how vexatious and unsatigfactory it is.At the eame time, .{it must be admitted that politicians whe can bring influence to'besr are uawilling to deprive themselves of a power which figures largely in the management of parties.In his address before the Ot- taws Canadian Club last Saturday, Mg.J.M.Courtney, formeriyDeputy Minister of Finance, did not refer spevifically to this.aspect of clvil service regulation, but his whole discourse was directed towards the abolition of the patronage system and the embetitution therefor of en independent commission, , whose duty would be to deal solely with matters relating to the civil service.His view that the whole service should be utterly divorced from politics is founded om the only true principle.It is the one on which the British and East Indian eer- vites are conducted.The result is a highly capable and efficient claæs of oi- ficials trained in the duties of administration and free from the vicissitudes of political party strife.The Dominion civil service, ad well as all other in Canada, is, and always has been, managed on the principle of patronage, a circumstance which brings both government and ser vice inte frequent contempt with [man whose \u201c er THE MONTREAL.DAILY

the right men are selected for certain positions requiring special or technical qualifications, but, as a rule, appointments are made on recommendations founded on party services.These range from

to have their names enrolled.He wôpld need to be a strong man who would undertake to abolish it, The existing Civil Bervice Act is full of holes, made designedly, one must think, on reading it, to admit of the exercise of patronage.Ministriea of both parties | have always provided for their friends in.this way.A survey of the civil service list will show how successive ministers have taken care of their own and their wives\u2019 relations.The same may be said of many members of parliament.This is not fo bad, however, as the ceaseless expectancy and claim of every one who serves a party to be

1907.We have had a reminiscence of bygone\u2019 days this week in a debate extending over two nights in the House of Commons on be question of protection.The ques- \u2018tion was raised in the form of an amendment to the addresa in reply to the s speech, regreiting that no reference was made to the approaching col- .Jonial conference and to the opportunity it offered for promoting freer trade within the Empire on a preferential basis.The amendment was the concession made by the Opposition leaders to the Cham- berlainite wing of the party.It was.rejected by a majority, remarkable even the debate was notable as being rather a debate between one wing of the Opposition and another 5 between erialists and Opposition.) The government, by the mouth of Mr.Asquith and Mr.Churchill, amply showed t the colonial conference and the interests of the whole Empire were no mot- ters of party and as important to them en A t ° Opposition.Mr, alfour, a long speech, poin refrain.od from advocating taxation oF soe for preferential purposes, while Mr.Austin amberlain as significantly pressed the point that any serious scheme of imperial preference would necessitate the taxation of food.In a parliament expressly ted a year ago to voice the nation\u2019s determination to have no bread and meat es such a debate Is singu rly unreal.q chief practical interest of the debate was the occasion it offered for the\u2019 expression of the official views of the O Position on the question which bro ic them such ill luck at the general .tions, Mr.Balfour's efforts to repress the ardent tariff reformers and keep his y together sttained a certain success, ut the latent dissatisfaction wis ex- ressed with exhilarating frankness by .Rowland Runt, the Chamberlainite mamber for the Ludlow division of Shropshire, His speech ended with a personal attack on his leader, on account of which, the Press Association now reports that he has been officially ex sfrom the party, his name havi struck off the of those to whom party notices are sent.He was certainly plain-spok- en.He mid the chief drag on the party wheel at the last election had been the grace ! gentleman has what \u2018in which Mr.Balfour joined), \u2018the conditions .of.b tual :apabilities they all so much admir- ed\u2014the leader of the Opposition.He had declinea to put forward a policy which any ordinary person could under stand, and so, many constituencies were filled with \u2018wobblers,\u201d quit: unable to give a straight answer to a straight ques- Toxsnar, Marca 5, 1907 DIED IN CARRIAGE MR.D, ANGEVINE PASSED t Y JUST AFTER ATTENDING 4 FRIEND'S FUNERAL, 1 tion.This greatly delighted the Min- M \u201cne ç ;

surplus.Taking the guarantee of ti percent alone, it means that the.Steel \u2018Company wonld.suffer lose unless the Coal Company ean, in good and bad times alike, pay out $1,210,000 a year for.bond interest, dividend on preferred and dividend on common stock.when the sinking fund on the bonds.begins, the ann fixed -eharges: in this way will be materially increased, - There is nothing in the past history: of the company, or in its present position, which would make such à guaran- \u201ctee as this anything but a serious Te sponsibility.tint the: .\u2018The suggestion that the: sharghcliem; would \u2018be parting with.a \u2018good gecurit for a doubtful ane, is based on\u2019 ccutity apprehension.The bonds and stock they would receive would carry all the ssecwrity and earning power of their own coal stock, with the guarantee of the steel company in addition.The value of their new securities would.be dependent in he first | Dace on_the eaming power.of the coal company.that is so certain as Mr.Wilson thinks, the bonds would be a and the preferred st valuable.| he should ibe mistaken, \u2018the steel.company would bave to make the bonds good.2A The whole discussion as to a holding company is, however, premature.When the parties promoting it wish the shareholders of the Coal Company à to consider it, they will -no Tombt neue à prospectus.\u2014 COBALTORE* - SHIPMENTS Toronto, March 5.\u2014 (Special)\u2014Last \u2018one of the biggest precious metal, weighing nearly 300 tons where shipped, the O'Brien and Nipissi shipping three each.Following ie the list in pounds:.Feb.25\u2014NIpiseing .ra.vo ne oo 81,280 Feb.25\u2014O'Brien .oq co as.00 ao.oo 85,500 Feb.28\u2014La Ro#® .4 cus 00 ++ 0.- 57,480 \u2018Feb.23T\u2014O'Brien .se oa ss vos4 Fed.27\u2014Silver Queen .> vo oe oo Feb.28\u2014Buffalo \u201cer bé seb tes ee Feb.28\u2014N1ipissing .+.ve ou -00 oo \u2018March 1\u20140\u2019Briea co es va es.ses ipiseing March 2-Green Mechan 0.0 00.TOE 0.Li vurvartauce ove 588,410 eee C.P.R.FEBRURAY t+ GROSS EARNINGS.The following table shows gross earning for the Canadian Pacific Rallway £ys- tem for the month of Febuary.It will be seen that increases were made during the last two weeks of the month: February.© 1987, \u201c-_ 1906.$.£36,000 $1,033,000 x$197,000 te +6 se aw ve es Inc.1-17 .ue 8\u201414 \u2026' .\u2026 .£74,000 1008000 x34,000 15\u20142t .,.1202000 1,007,000 195000 22-28 .L207,000 1,135,000 72,000 Total .$4,218,000 $4,183,000 $36,000 x Decrease.\u2019 \u2014_\u2014\u2014\u2014 INTERNATIONAL COAL & COKR CO.MEETING At the annual meet! of the Interns- tional Coal & Coke Co.of Coleman, Alberta, held at Spokane, the statement pre- acnted to the shareholders was an eminently satisfactory one.$23,000 was paid on Feb.1 of the present year, and tle surplus at'the close.of was $198,192, being over 7 percent on Outstanding capital.During 1906, 334,230 tons of coal were produced, and of this 49,638 teus went to the c&mpany'a \u2018coke OVPhS, tiie.balance being disposed of on the mar ket.The directors elected were:\u2014H, N.Galer, Coleman;
