George Rowley, ex -Manager of the

who was sent to penitentiary for twelve
years, has been pardoned.
Taxation Reduced.
Notwithstanding the fact that enor-
mous sums have been spent on Public
Works and other improvements, since
the Liberals came into power, the ac-
tual debt per head is lower to -day than
when they took office in 1896. Here are
the figures which cannot be disputed.

1905 per capita 45.83
1906 per capita 44.63
1907 per capita 42.84
Here is the evidence of irrefutable
figures to prove that instead of the
present Government burdening the
people by increase of debt, there has
actually been a decrease per capita of
$7 98—from $50 82 to $42.84 slice the
Conservative Government was deposed
from office in 1896.

Professor Alexander Graham Bell
gave an exhibition of his new flying
machine, the Redwing, at Hammonds -
port, N. Y., on Maroh 12th. The ma-
chine started from rest on the ground
and flew about 300 feet at a height of
about ten to twenty feet from the
ground. After travelling this distance
at the rate of about 30 miles an hour,
the tail broke, and the machine had to
be lowered. This is said to be the first
instance in which a machine has made
a successful flight.
