Attention was drawn the other day to the lack of roul lcpn-KCtitation of tho people, in our parliaments, and the immense power of corporate! interests as compared with the influence of tho people.

Along the same lines the Toronto Hentiuel prints an admiral article under tho heading "Cor porations and Parliament." The Sentinel Fays: "I icmocratie govern ment is brought into contempt in Canada by the subservience, of leglsla tors to corporate influence. More and more the several provincial legislatures are being swayed by the great railway corporations, ami other allied interests. Matters are even worse at Ottawa. As a prominent 1'rcnch-Canadian said the other day, members representing his own race may be induced by a cigar or a glass of champagne to sacrifice the rights of municipalities. The happenings of the last year afford ample proof that English-speaking members are almost equally willing to serve the purposes of private greed.

One party is as had as the other. Members on both aides arc willing to purchase the favors of corporations by away privileges which only communities should have, the power to exercise. "The majority of the people's representatives are such in name only. They are paid by the public, hut their service is given to interests hostile to the public, und very often, indeed, to thoso who have designs on the public purse as in the case of contractors who arc defrauding the people of mil lions of dollars by over-charging the cosst of railway construction. lie situation that has grown up during recent years is most discourag ing to those who have at heart the pubiic welfare.

We fear that nothing short of the creation of a new party or at least, of the promulgation of a new policy by which one great political organization will pledge itself to maintain and extend municipal and provincial rights, will waranl any expectation of a material improvement. "The Liberal party at one time could reasonably claim to be the provincial rights' party, and lo have at heart the good of tile municipalities. Today, it Is largely dominated by political brigands, who wrest from the municipality its most elemental rights and dlstrlhuto them umong their friends, and then have the effrontery to taunt those who resist their plundering with selfishly seeking special privileges. "Vested rights are respected, but they are the vested rights of capitalists the people have none. If to respect tho former Is Conservatism, Sir Wilfrid Laurier is the biggest Tory In Canada.

The Under of the Federal Opposition in hia Halifax platform Incorporated a public ownership plank, but his followers are found lighting tooth and nail as henchmen of the notorious Jim Conmee in the ntfack on the remnant of municipal and provincial rights." Mr. liorden Is not known to have rebuked them, and he never appears to cheer on those who nre found fighting with their backs lo tho wall imalhsl the hungry homes of franchise seekers. In no way has he made It appear that lf and his party are tho friends nnd the Liberal members tho foes of the mjnlcipalitlcs. has acted as though the mutter una one which did not concern him personally or warrant the formulation of a policy by a great party. On other questions members must be whipped Into line, but where syndicates aro concerned, every man may bo his own master.

"A national convention of Conservatives Is heiluled to take plai In Ottawa this ear. The moment Is op. portunc for cieuriy-di fined policy as affecting provincial and municipal rights. Th" local legislature are aroused by the freipient Interference with matters properly under their Jurisdiction, and the municipalities arc even more Indignant our the gross violation of their I iindaiiicnlal The hour tails for a strong man."

committed an unpardonable sin by aiding in the escape of a negro? And this was but one of hundreds of incidents which Illuminate the pages of Mark Twain and make them of value to the Ktudent of people and customs as well as entertaining to the reader who merely wishes to be amused. As a literary man Mark Twain was a product of the American newspaper. In his later years he could attach a long string of letters to his name M. A LU L. H.

I.itt. IJ. The hist of these degrees was conferred by no less an institution than Oxford. Yet he never went to school after he was twelve years old. He picked up his education by reading and by working in newspaper offices, it was In a newspaper office that he learned to write.

The style which ho carried Into the higher literature was the perfection of the light, clear. plain-English diction at which the best American newspapers always have aimed. So man has so fully demonstrated Its possibilities when developed hy a writer of sufficient genius. It was because Mark Twain developed hi-nself In this manner that hf? was one of the most American of America's great literary men. If he had been trained in a classical style and taught to think along stereotyped scholastic lines, he micht still have become a great writer, but ho never could have caught the American pub-lie as he did.

It was because the necessity of taking care of himself had taught him to keep his eyes open that he was enabled to see so much to write nhput, and the natural gifts of humor and optimism did the rest. The world knew and admired him Mark Twain. Samuel Langhorue Clemens had a much narrower eir.ao of friends. He never could havo become a successful humorist under so dignified a namo as that.

Mr. llaughton Lennox, who has made a careful study of the expenditure upon this part of the lailway. gave in his recent speech some startling llgures on the subject, all of them derived official sources. One set shows that the mere cost of unsung rock as paid Tor by the politicians who are building the railway is rather mole than the sum which Mr.

Fielding said the entire completed road would call for. The figures are us follows; Cost of rock on coiitrn ts already being carried out 1 19,320,778 Cost of rock on contracts yet to be issued Total cost of i Fielding's estimate completed win 51.300,000 1 leidiug estimate exceeded by outlay on rock 1311,438 Another Important fact brought to light by Mr. Lennox is the ciroum "iiim ii nun contracts were let lor a lower sum than they are actually tost nig. l.veivo contracts were let lor According to the olllolal returns the umouiii that will be paid under thosu contiucts Is 1 i ins is an increase of cii p(-r cent.

Then stand while the white moon's shining on the beauteous Point Du Bols; And gaze on the pine clad, rocks, that for ages their shadows threw.

To blend with the star's rellection on the waters deep and blue; And amidst the dark pines peeping, like myriad spectres white. The silver poplars rear their heads like ghosts In the somhro night. But, hark! 'midst this tranquil splendor, hear turbulent waters roar; Wrtthing and seething In anger, they dash on the rock-bound shore; Perchance they're guarding a secret ot fabulous wealth untold, They may know here the rocks are hidlhn deep veins of precious gold; It mav be they're writhing In anger to know their power is chained; Their force must yield to tho empire, their tyrannous freedom reined. The pines In their ceaseless gossip, nre whispering how Father Time, Gunrded for ages tho secret, the birth of this spot sublime; I'ntil the builders of the empire hud chanced to come this way, And, lo! the troubled wnters must now yield to the empire's sway. They built their dams and trestles to ear the angry waters' test, IVor the pqwer of p.

great white city, the gateway to the west. Tleem you this a haunting silence, where solitude's shafts are flung? Then list to the voice of nature, her sllv'ry echoing tongue. Winds whlsp'rlng low to the grasses, the gossiping pines ne'er cease, The angry waters murm'rlng never a moment nt pence. The rocks echo hack their answer, and waft their greetings of Joy, To the builders of the empire, and the powers of Point Du Bols. Song ST.
