An examination into the Canadian rail-
road scandal has commenced, but it is so
utterly one-sided that its action will have
no weight upon public opinion. 1t is one
of the worst features OF the whole thing,
that the government party of Canada is
unwilling to have the chargee fairly inves-
tigated, but must make the Commission
entirely partizan and unfair. If the
charges made were not in some measure
true why this fear about a clean and
thorough examination?

How THE OLD AND INFIRM ARE SUPPORTED

expenditure of the power of the mind (Which
is the real seat of mans strength is balanced
by activity of the nutritve functions, withou,
the aid of science.
But Time, the everlasting dissipator ofreason
