They might have struck another 'soft
snap against their friends in Office by
deseanting upon the disappearance OF
$23, 900 of the smallpox expenditure for
which no voucher was produced, and
which could not be explained. When
the subject was raised in the Legislature
the Hon. Mr.. Bishop came to the rescue
by the remark that no one could be ex-
pected to keep vouchers for money spent
in the purchase of oranges, lemons, ice
and the like. And this apology satisfied
the subservient Legislature and again
the Administration was happy. But
$23, 900 does seem rather steep percent
age upon 100000, the total alleged ex-
penditure to grapple with the last small
pox epidemic.

Opposition finance is peculiar. When
its model Administration was in Office,
resolution of Cabinet $3.50 600 was is
sued from the Treasury to a private
banking firm, the head of which had
ERen Cabinet officer, to be loaned by it
at high rates of interest upon security
which the firm in question, under its
otpn hand, pronounced to be so specu-
lative that it would not advance
any of its own money upon it. But the
model Administration had no objection
TO its specializing with the public funds.
This is the kind of finance the Opposition
would inaugurate if it got hold of the
Treasury again. If the Gibson Admins
tration were to do such an illegal and in
defensible act what howl the Opposi-
ton would raise. But circumstances
alter cases. What was entirely right in
1880 would be as entirely wrong in 1886.
A change OF demand makes q change of condition
And everything's nothing except by position.

When the Opposition candidates and
press were on still hunt after expendi-
lures of public money without voucher,
and without explanation that would sat
isfy child that everything was "On the
square, they might have struck a veri-
table gold mine of examples by referring
to the financial exhibits of their own
Ministerial friends. For example, there
was that very considerable sum of
$l47, 600 to $149, 900 alleged to have been
expended on the new palace, for which
there was not only no voucher but no
explanation. A special committee of the
Legislature was appointed to investigate
the matter, but it did not investigate. 1t
brought in a whitewashing report, stat
ing that doubtless the money had been
applied to the building fund as alleged,
and that there was no necessity for fur
ther inquiry. The Legislature was salts
fed and the Whitewashed Ministry
happy. But if such thing had happened

an outcry would be made by the very
men who covered up the tracks of the
defaulting Ministry.

shattuc,s Oppor,unttics

At the meeting of the general committee,
which has for its business the task of adopt
ing plan Tor the gross money pooling of
Southwestern passenger business, held in
Chicago Thursday. no action was taken
towards appointing commissioner to sue
coed E. p. Wilson, recently resigned.
1t is rumored in railway cir
cles that if General Passenger Agent
Shattuc, of the Ohio & Mississippi, accepts
the position of arbitrator for the Central
Traffic association, he will not get the COM
missionerShip of the Western. Northwest
ern or Southwestern passenger pools when
they are organized. He is an avowed can
didate for this Office and it is said he would
not arbitrate for the Central Traffic if the
triple commissionership was offered him.
The organization of the Western and
Northwestern pools is question of but a
short time if the Southwestern pool is sue
cessfully effected. Probably the meetings
of both committees will be held early next
week.

CHICAGO. Oct. 22.-At the meeting of
the Southwestern Passenger association to-
day the members succeeded in agreeing
upon the manner of pooling business to and
from the South, passing through Cairo and
st. Louis. They also wrangled three or
four hours over the class Of local bust
ness in the Southwestern Passenger pool,
which should be reported. This consumed
the entire day, and adjournment was taken
until tomorrow without taking action on
the choice of a commissioner. The contract
will probably be perfected and adopted to-
morrow, and it is believed that the affairs
of the ASSOCIATION will be temporarily placed
in charge of j. w. Midgley, at present
commissioner of the Southwestern Railway
association. until the Western and North
western pools are fixed, when a permanent
commissioner will be chosen.

The prospect that the Manitoba Pacific
road will cut rates to Puget Sound points is
not pleasant one to the Northern Pacific
road, and it IS probable that that iue will
give its competitor a lively war before the
matter is settled.
Referring to the claim made by the Man
itoba people in Yesterdays Pioneer Press,
with regard to the alleged necessity for
reduction of the rates to Victoria via their
line. to meet the rates via competing lines.
a Northern Pacific officer said:
The figures would indicate that the rates
had either not been very carefully figured by
the Manitoba people or that they were trying
10 mislead public opinion and throw dust in
the eyes, of other lines interested IN the
rates. Here are the figures: Present rate,
Chicago to Victoria is. hrst-class unlimited,
SS7 so; frst-class limited, $3.50; emigrant,
$3.50. Proposed rate, Chicago to Victoria via
Winnipeg. first-class unlimited, S16.oO; first
class limited, S66. so; eInigrant, S44. Cut.
tirst-class unlimited, S11; frst-class limited,
SII; emigrant. So. The reduction does not
appear to be forced by any competition, nor
will il have the effect of increasing business.
1t merely cuts the rates at present In effect
without doing the Manitoba-Pacifc any good,
but forces reduced rates TO interior points on
the Northern Pacific, as well as to coast
points. The rates from Chicago to victoria
by combination of the lowest rates to and
from San Francisco are as follows: First
class unlimited S91 .65; frst-class limited,
SS1. e5; emigrant, S56.65. AS the present
rates from Chicago to Victoria via St. Paul
and the Northern Pacific, are respectively
S4I5 on first-class and 1913 on emigrant less
than the above rates via San FRANCISCO, the
claim by the Manitoba that reduction is nee
esSary to meet this combination is ABSURD on
the face of it.
The Manitoba officials do not deny that
they intend to cut Puger Sound rates, but
make defense by claiming that they have
discovered that the Northern Pacific road
had offered passengers less than tariff rates
to Pacific coast points. They charge that
the Northern Pacific is holding rates higher
than any other tranScOntlneDtal line, and
that passengers have been able to go to
Victoria from Chicago via Detroit and
Toronto, over the Canadian Pacific, for less
money than they could 90 over the North
ern Pacific via St. Paul. They say that
the distance to Victoria from st. Paul, via
the Manitoba Pacific road, is 100 miles less
than over the Northern Pacific. and the
former road has the right of custom to
make rate, being the shortest route. They
also claim that they never agreed
to the Northern Pacific rates,
and had they not already been
in the rate sheet. they should have objected
to them.
The greater part of transcontinental
traffic has been oyer the Union Pacific and
southern lines, and the Manitoba claims
that its object is to divert some OF this
traffic by the way of st. Paul. On Nov. 1
they will adopt the rates presented to the
Passenger association at its meeting last
Wednesday, which are as follows:
Limited. first-class 55
