NOTES AND COMMENTS Mr. J J. Rueter, editor of the Kiu- oardiue Reporter, hes been nominated for the Legislature by the Liberals of Centro Bruce I, will be a battle be- tween the two Kinaardine editors, Mr. Hugh Clark, of the Review, being the Censer vative candidate. During the last three years the Whitney Geverament have spent $'et36,- 945.73 on investigations and commis stone, and during the last three years of the former Admni tratiou $50.083 76 was spent in similar objects. Monday in the Legislature returns were present ed by the Provincial Secretary, giving the cost of each individual commission. Judge Mabee has been appointed chairman of the railway commission in succession to the late Judge Killam. His appointment was made by the cabinet Saturday afternoon, the pro- vision being allowed that he shall be entitled to his pension as a judge. This was the main reason for his previously declining. The salary of $10,000 will not be inere toed. Oa Tuesday of last week, Hon. Mr. Fielding, Minister of Finance, present- ed his budget and delivered his annual statement of the condition of the finen- ess of the country for the last fiscal period which was for nine months. Mr. Fielding, amid the cheers of the mem- iesrs,annouttced that the surpins for the nine months was larger than the surplus of any fiscal year since confederation, and was nearly half the total revenue of the Conservative government when they went out of offi:e in 1896 Total reven- ue for nine months ending 31 Marob list amounted $67,969,303 and expendi- ture on consolidated fund for ttio same period amounted to $51,542,161. The proposed redistribution of the ridings for the Ontario Legislature was made public on Tuesday, except in a few ridings. In a number of ridings no change will be made and among these are the three ridings of Bruce county and North and South Perth. In Huron the provisional divisions are: South - Townships Hay,Stephon, Usborne, Stan- isy and Godericb; villages of Exeter, Hensel! and Bayfield. Last -Townships Grey, M.Iiiilop, Tuckersmith, Hallett, Celborue, and towns of Godench, Sea - forth and Clinton and village of BrusseIe. West -Townships of Howick, Morris, Mulberry, East Wawauosh, West Wa- wanosh, Ashfield, town of Wingham, villages of Blyth and Wroxeter. • The country expected an agreeable financial statement, bat the one present- ed by Mr. Fielding was far in exoess of what the most sanguine anticipated. A surplus' of $16,000,000 for the short period of nine months, and a surplus for the year of $19,000,000 should canoe a 1 reasoning men to acclaim the present government as the best in the history of the Dominion. With great public works in progress, a decrease in the public debt of $3,371,117, with generous appropria- tions for the pnblic service, with a great- er Canada to govern, the per capita pub - lie debt decreased from 50.82 in Conser- vative days to 42.84 to -day, surely these are fasts which will appeal to the elec- tors of Canada, and stamp the adminis- tration of Sir Wilfrid Laurier, as efii tient and intelligent, and in the inter- ests of all the people. After an unusually quiet and peaceful day in the House of Commons Monday, dealing with private bills and motions, the serenity of the Chamber was rallied jest at the last by the introduction of a Does Your Fiectrt Beat Yes. 100,000 times each day.

The nnwisdom of bringing up a question fraught with so much danger in a country like Oen, ada was shown in the tone and temper of the discussion whioh folio wed, and Hon. Messrs. Fielding, Graham and Ayleeworth strongly deprecated any ac- tion whioh would revive the old and unfortunate fends. On motion- of Sir Wilfrid Laurier the debate was ad- janrn:d, iu the hope that wiser coun- sels might prevail after maturer reflec- tion Mr. Meredith, on the other hand, thinks it is a mistortnae to live to bo eighty, He iereported as saying that "a man's life ought to end when he is sixty-five," for "he toast atop working then, or else do work that is inferior," and "when a man stops working, nature is fiuished with him, and he ought to go." ... Mr. Meredith is unoonecious- ly exaggerating the gospel strenuosity. Work is not an end, bat a means. The end is happiness, sell development, cap- acity for social service in the larger sense. The man who "mast stop work- ing" need net stop meditating, guiding his younger fellowmen, contemplating the proelems of existence, pondering hie experience„ giving the benefit of it to society, Moreover, he is entitled to rest and peace after the battle of lite. There are books to read, music to enjoy, a world to see, many pleasures, indeed, which the man in harness must deny himself. Why Is not old age, if vigor- ous and serene, the time for such enjoy, ment? Certainly the east does not share Mr. Meredith's idea of death after discharge from work and the west is learning to appreciate more and more the vaine of the contemplative and rest- ful life. Society is too human to wish to get rid of its old. Is wishes to see them comfortable and happy. And this wish is quite as "natural" as the insistence upon work and usefulness.-Chioago Record -Herald. Mr. W. E. Stave t, trustee for the Sovereign Bank, has entered an action for $110,000 against the former man- ager, Mr D. M. Stewart. Live Stock Markets. Toronto, March 24 -Prioes were good and firm at the City Cattle Market to- day, in some oases of extra choice butcher cattle, 20 to 25o higher. Choice butcher, however, are still scarce. Good light export cattle are bought up for the local bnt.her trade, rat prices, of course, correspondingly high, so that in a few instances wholesale butcher bnyere were paying as high as $5 to $5.25 for beef cattle for the local market. The run was again light, and is likely to continue so until country roads are in a more pas- sable condition. Under these circum- stances the higher prices may be expected to rule steady for awhile. There is a large proportion of cattle, however, of the common and inferior grades, whioh does not share very materially in the enhanced prices due to the shortage of good to choice butcher cattle. Export cattle were firm at $3 to $5 25, with only two or three good loads offering. The etocker trade has scarcely yet started but there is a steady market for anything of fair quality. The hog market is firm and quote■ ten curs higher than last weer;. To•day's run was 44 care and included 755 head of cattle, 126 sheep and lambs, 206 calves, and 600 hogs.
