THE HUDSON BAY ROUTE.

The provincial election of last week in Sas-
katchewan would not ordinarily have been Of
much interest outside of that province or at
most outside of the Dominion. But it was IN
vested with somewhat wider Importance by
virtue of the chief issue upon which the cam
paign was fought That was the immediate
construction by the government of a railroad to
Hudson Bay. The existing government, Of
which Mr. Walter Scott is Prime Minister was
strongly committed to that undertaking, while
the Opposition. led by Mr.. Hamilton, was against
it, The government won handsomely wherefore
we may expect the railroad project to be vigor-
ously pushed.
If ever there is to be railroad to Hudson
Bay there is little doubt that it should be built
from and by Saskatchewan, to which 1t would
be of far greater than TO any other prov
ince Of the Dominion. Ontario and Quebec, it is
true abut directly upon James Bay, which is
the southern extension of Hudson Bay, but
their natural and best water route to the At
lantic is by way Of the ST. Lawrence. Manitoba
extends little nearer to Hudson Bay than does
Saskatchewan. but it is still nearer to the head
of the Great Lakes and the St Lawrence sys-
tenn But the magnificent domain of Saskatche-
wan is much nearer TO Hudson Bay than to the
lakes and it could find at Port Nelson during
that part of the year in which Hudson Strait
is navigable its best outlet to the Atlantic.
Back of Saskatchewan also lies the great
province of Alberta, and beyond il lies British
Columbia, both of which would probably find
advantage in using the Hudson Bay route.
There are moreover, reports of vast possbl-
tiles of settlement and agricultural development
in parts of the Northwest Territory, especially
in the Churchill and Nelson valleys, i'll Kee-
watin and perhaps also in the southeastern part
OF Mackenzie, and these regions would, of

regarded as belonging not to the people but 10
the administration or to holders of concessions
The result has been practically a system OF UNI
rersal slavery. The administration or the con-
cession holders have had a monopoly OF the
land of products and of trade, and have COM
peIled the natives TO work for them at such
wages as they have seen fit TO grant From TINS
system of forced labor" substantially all the
abuses Of the country have arisen.
The hope is that under Belgian controi tnls

be abolished and that the inhabitants OF tne
Congo will have that UNLIMITED right TO buy
and sell' which the Berlin act guarantees Inc
world may be reconciled TO the abandonment OF
all the rest of the act and all the high designs
and resounding professions of the founders OF
the Congo State. But it does persist in ITS de-
mand for common humanity. Thus far, I'M
happily no guarantees to that desired end nave
been secured. But it is obvious that there VIII
be q much better chance of getting them as
our London correspondent suggests to-day, from
the responsible Belgian government under IN
ternational conventions, than from the 1rrespon-
sible system which has hitherto prevailed IL
is an auspicious circumstance that the British
Foreign Office and the American state De
nartment have been and are in entire accord
on the matter and that they are both watcnful
and resolute in their determination 10 enforce
the humane requirements of the Berlin ana

NO BRITISH CABINET CRISIS.

Adequate and doubtless accurate explanation
of last weeks rumors concerning the British
Cabinet is given by our London correspondent
to-day in his special cable dispatches There
has been no "crisis," and there is not likely 10
be any. Two of the younger, more energetic
and less conventional members are endeavoring
to Justify in the sight of their radical constit-
uents their recent promotion, and In so doing
have entered upon courses which If seriously
pursued might infringe upon the exclusive pre-
negatives of the Foreign Office But they Will
not pursue those courses to any such embarrasS-
ing extreme nor have they had any thought
of doing SO. Mr.. Asquith is far too masterful
a disciplinarian and too astute party manager
to let his Cabinet get away from him at this
stage of the administrative game. and we may
be quite sure that no minister wishes either TO
resign to be forced out
It Is easy to understand the feelings of the
two ministers who have been suspected of trop
de zele The Chancellor of the Exchequer real
ICES that the framing of the next budget will be
particularly difficult task with the new bur
den of old age pensions laid upon him. He nat
urally wishes to frame in advance some excuse
for the increase of taxation, perhaps for the
abandonment of the sacred principles of Cob
denism which will be necessary to make books
balance. and it will be grateful relief to aim
to be able to say a year hence: "Ah, If only
'the cost of our naval ornaments could have
been reduced as wanted them to be-" So. too.
the President of the Board of Trade may find
IL convenient TO refer hereafter to his earnest
efforts to promote cordial relations with Great
Britain's chief commercial rival, and, anyway,
Mr. Churchill would not be his fathers son If
he were not aggressive and even pugnacous
economist. But neither he nor Mr.. Lloyd-George
will repeat that historic lapse of Randolph
Churchill when he forgot Goschen"
That Sir Edward Grey's tenure of the For
eign Office Is or will be either voluntarily or in
voluntarily imperiled is, of course, simply I'M
thinkable No minister is ever quite indiSpen-
sable but Sir Edward comes about rs close to
being so as any in recent years has done.
His marked success in all that he has under
taken and the substantially universal confidence
with which he Is regarded by Government and
Opposition alike mark him as an exceptionally
valuable member of the Cabinet, and 1t is no
reflection upon any possible successor TO him to
say that his retirement would be regarded with
something very much like dismay throughout
the British Empire and with profound regret
throughout the world. Happily, he is likely, as
our correspondent assures us, to remain in his
place, with not only the King, but also the Brit
ish nation, as his powerful supporter.

STOPPING HOSPITAL TRANSFERS.

Another blow has been struck In the interest
of humanity by the action of the Coroner S
court on Friday in censuring two of the hos
pitals of the city FOR criminal negligence IN
permitting the transfer of man with broken
back who had been taken to one of these in
stitutions but who was transferred four days
later when the seriousness of the case was
discovered, and later removed to the Metropoll-
tan Hospital on Blackwell's Island, where he
died IN order still further TO demonstrate his
displeasure over the action Of the first two
hospitals in refusing to allow the dying man to
remain with them and accept the responsibility
for his death, Coroner hamburger declared that
he would send the testimony and the YER
dict to the District Attorney, and would request
that action be taken against the two hospitals
which had transferred the man.
If there is any part of the machinery of a
great city which should be conducted on
high plane 1t is its hospitals. There may be
some logic In the statement that if the average
citizen doesn't like the way the affairs or
city are conducted he can 90 elsewhere and
find something to suit him, but when an indi-
vidual Is stricken suddenly in the city, as any
one is likely to be- there should be nothing to
prevent his receiving the best possible treat
nent at the NJ arrest hospital. He should not
be confronted with the possibility that lnstltu-
ton after institution, in order TO keep GOWN
its death rate will either refuse to receive him
or else will shift him after he has been re-
ceived.
While to the superficial observer the efficiency
of such an institution may seem TO be Indicated
by the proportion of deaths TO patients, 1t Is
difficult to understand how any advantage can
be gained by the methods which led to the
passage of the Hamburger bill, which provides
that persons seriously injured or dangerously
i'll shall not be hurried from one hospital to
another in order to keep down the death rate
of the institutions and enable them TO make
favorable showing. The intelligent public VIII
not be msled by figures based on such methods,
and it is pleasant to observe that vigorous steps
are being taken to complete tie reform already
begun
