purnINa II up ro CANADIANS.

PUTTING iT UP TO CANADIANS,
Not few people are. doubtless, at
a loss TO understand why the Jaurer
Ministry with a majority of forty
five in the Dominion Parliament,
should have prorogued that body. with
a view to appealing to the electorate
to choose a new parliament to ratfy
the reciprocity agreement with this
country The explanation hes in the
difference between the governmental
system Of Canada and the United
States
Tia this country a new house OF rep
| resentatives is elected at regular
specified intervals, its members com
ing fresh from the people every two
years; wnle the senate, although
continuous body, may change its per-
sonnel regularly as the six-year term
OF its members successfully expire.
ia Canada on the other hand mem
bers OF parliament are chosen for
no specified period The Dominion
has had but eleven parliaments since
the establishment OF the present
form of government, and the one JUST
dissolved was chosen three years ago
Reciprocity was not then a live is
sue and parliamentary opinion on the
question may or may not square with
popular sentiment, In the absence
OF any direct popular instruction in
the matter the opposition to reci-
procity would have felt justified In
taking advantage of the lack Of clos
ure Of debate to abstruct a vote on
the agreement. and 1t was doubtless
these facts which influenced the min
istry to prorogue the old parliament
and summon a new one, to be elect
ed after a campaign involving ratifi-
cation OF the pending reciprocity pact
with the United States as the only
issue.
The outcome or the elections. which |
have been set for Sentember 2l. are
oi course, more or less uncertain. !
though the Liberals feel assured Of
Victory. Had this confidence been
lacking, II is probable that the I.aur- |
Ter ministry would have been In no
haste for a dissolution of parliament |

democratic victory in 1912.
 A feature of the report of the sec retary of the senate which has hith- erto been overlooked reveals that more than 800 officeholders of the senate from Clerk Bennett down, received a bonus of cne months extra pay, amounting in all to s64.- 364,2S. The day on which this dis tribution occurred was Aug. 6, 1909 Then on June 27, 1910, according to the report another months pay was voted by the senate for it's officers and employees, amounting this time to s72.09094. Both of these prize pack ages were passed out within the fiscal year 1910 winch covers the period between June 30, 1909, and July 1, 1910, although it is probable he latter bonus was intended for the year 1911. The senate employees do less work than most any other gov ernment employees, many of them be- ing away from the Capitol during the summer months when congress is not in session. But as these places are p-iitcal stations. the senate is willing to be liberal. Government employees who really work but who are not part of the republican machine. do not participate in the easy money.
 The policy of the standpatters who are in charge of the peoples money is to spend it principally among individuals and in districts where it will do the G. o, P. the most good this policy is not especially con ducive to economy.
 Standpat Republicans take it for granted that President Taft will be re-nominated for the presidency in 1912 President Taft is running strong. with special privilege servers like Aldrich, Stephenson, Guggen- helm, Cannon and Dalzell. He has also been endorsed by Senators Warn ed of Missouri, Hale of Maine, Bur kett of Nebraska and Carter of Non- tana, all of whom have been defeat ed for reelection. Taft is being op- posed for renomination by LaFollette of Wisconsin Bristow of Kansas, Clapp of Minnesota, Bourne of Ore gon.
 Gilson Gardner, who accompanied Roosevelt home from Egypt and who is looked upon in newspaper circles in Washington as being a sort of semi-official press agent for the ex- president. declares positively that Roosevelt will never endorse Taft for a renomination. The reason he advances is that Taft carried cut RooseveIt's policies only to extent Of depositing them in the ditch But it is generally held that it doesn't make any difference whether Nil. Roosevelt is for Taft; that President Taft will draw down the rencmina- ton whether his former friend lends a hand or not.

Democrats Viii Demand Re- moyaI of Tariff Protection
 10 the Combine
Plays Fast and Loose With Both the Farmer and
 Consumer
tBy Clyde II. Tayennerl

WASHINGTON Jan 10-One Of the first things the new democratic house will consider will be the ad- visibility of placing beef on the free list. If beef does not go on the free list the tariff on this comm7d win at least be greatly reduced.
 The following facts make such act ion imperative:
 l-The packing business in the United States is controlled largely hg a trust
 2.-The firms in the trust, as well as such alleged independent con cerns as schwartzchild & Sulzberger have been making profits of from 20 to 45 per ent on their preferred stock for the last several years, while ad- vancing prices every So often by agreement.
 3.-The legal department of the repl3u,an administration Eas gre. tended for the last ten years that it has been endeavoring to break up the beef trust, but has utterly failed.
 4.-The trust is paying the trans portation charges on American beef to London. and there selling it for two cents less a pound than in the
Bisbee daily review., 1911-01-11

United States.
 5.-The beef trust does not regu- late its selling prices by buying prices. frequently raising the price Of beef t1 the consumer while paying less 10 the farmer.
 The department of justice has long taken the position that the beef trust is in existence in violation of the law. yet it has either not desired to dissolve the trust or has been in- competent to do it. This failure to get relief for the consumers would indicate the only way left lies in g. deduction of the tariff on beef Both Australia and South America stand ready to give us cheaper beef if this

portance to the nation, before the
close of the Civil War. under Bishop
P. F Stevens. Bishop Stevens was
soldier before entering the ministry
he ordered the first shot of the war
fred on the Star of the West over

even more prominent as warrior In
times of peace, fighting for the uplitt
of the colored race. At the time of
his death, a year ago last January.
there were 10 colored clergy and $500
colored communicates in his diocese.
This work is now under the superin-
tendence Of the Rev. A. L. Pengelley

ed as an entertaining, but at the same
time a very earnest speaker. He will
speak here Of southern life in the
church and among the negroes as he
saw It at the oonvocation last De-
cember.
