-The prohibition convention,
held in 'V'Vinuipeg last week, was
the greatest gathering of the kind
ever held in the West. The dele-
gates decided to have nothing to do
with the Referendum, and the gov-
ernment may go down to defeat as
a result of their trifling with the
expressed wishes of the electors.
Meu of all shades of polities at the
convention say the Roblin Govern-
ment has behaved treacherously
toward the people, and the temper-
ance people, while favoring arefer-
endum on principle, say it is only
a subterfuge in this case, as the
Government would not Liston to
the referendum proposition when
the railway deals were being con-
sidered. Evidently the Western
electors are not so easily hood-
winked as those in the East. Talk
about subterfuges - Laurier and
Ross could give these westerners
some eye-openers along this line, �.

-The Dominion Statiscian states
that there are 1,181,778 Canadians
in the United States. Now we can
understand why the States do not
go to the bad (morally) altogether.
It is probably because the Canadi-
ans there, numbering over a mill-
ion, act as a sort of preservative --
a "salt of the earth," so to speak.
In many places in the republic
south of us, the desecration of the
Sabbath, looseness of the marriage
tie, and the saloon open night, day
and Sunday, are proving terribly
deteriorating influences that cannot
fail to weaken the foundation of
social safety. Canadians know hot-
ter and act differently, and young
men from this country have no dif-
ficulty finding good situations in
the States, because of their training
and the fact that, as a rule, they
are reliable and trustworthy. The
evils referred to are slowly but
surely weakening the moral pulse
of the country, and endangering
the foundations of national security
-for "Righteousness exalteth a
nation, but Sin is a reproach to any
people." Let every Canadian in
the States stand true to the Right.
-So vast is the official organiza-
tion of the United States that, al-
though President Roosevelt had no
desire whatever to create vacancies,
and had no especial fondness for
exercising the appointive power, he
has nevertheless had to sign, on an
average, thirty official commissions
a day, or nearly two hundred a
week, to fill vacancies that occur in
the natural order of things.
* * *
-So great is the world's pro-
gress, that things thought wonder-
ful a few years ago, now appear to
be commonplace. The tunnel un-
der the St. Clair river was a great
idea, successfully carried out, hut
it is a small affair to the tunnel
now being projected from Long Is-
land city, under East river, and
underground through the city of.
New York, thence under the Hud-
son river to Jersey city.
-If it is true that "the world is
getting better" from a moral stand-
point, then New York must be an
exception to the rest of this mun-
dane sphere. Here are two items
that do not speak much for the
moral progress of the great com-
mercial city of the United States: -
The Broadway Tabernacle, one of
the city's famous churches, was
sold last month for $1,300,000. It
is proposed to tear it down and
erect a twenty -story hotel, costing
three million dollars. Mr. Jerome,
the district attorney for New York,
strongly advocates the opening of
the saloons on Sunday afternoons
and evenings.
*

-So little is known or written
of South American events, that it
would not be surprising to find
many that are not award that a
civil war has been raging in Colom-
bia for nearly two years. Yet that
war has paralyzed the business of
the country and has sacrificed fifty
thousand lives. There is at pres-
ent danger that Venezuela may also
be a scene of revolutionary strife.
The President allows no criticism
of his actions, and rules like a des-
pot. Prominent citizens who dare
to criticise his arbitrary acts are
cast into foul dungeons, without
the formality of a trial. Life in
South American republics is neither
safe nor desirable.
-It is now clear that the recent
election in West York was not so
great a "Liberal victory" as at
first appeared. Proof is now at
at hand that two bands of young
men left 'Toronto on the rooming
of the election, paid to "plug"
votes for Campbell at the Junction.
The Telegram is authority for the
statement that these two parties
"pingged" fifty votes, and swal-
lowed the oaths without any scru-
ples. They were promised ten dol-
lars each, but as the pay has .not
been forthcoming, there is likely to

A YEAR OF PROGRESS.
IMPORTANT TO FARMERS.
F. W. Hodson, Dominion Live Stock
Commissioner, has sent the A.dvanee
the following, which should be of in-
terest to stock raisers ;
Trade in live stock between .Eat,tern.
and Western Canada has been grow-
ing rapidly within the last few years.
This increase of trade has. been pro-
moted, and in fact made possible, by
the wise and generous treatment of
the O. P. R. During the month of De -
comber and the first eight days in.
January, forty-six cars of grade and
pure-bred cattle were shipped from
Eastern Canada to British Columbia..
These cars contained 2,223 head, and
cost in the East something over $30.-
000. Besides these, a considerable
number have recently been sent to the
North Nest Territories, and orders are
now in hand for additional shipments
to be made to the last mentioned Ter-
ritory. In order to promote this trade
which has proved very profitable in
many districts in Eastern Canada,
farmers should use first-class Short-
horn bulls. By careful selection, and
wise treatment, females sired by such
bulls will prove excellent dairy cows.
Ib is a noticeable fact that seven -
tenths of the stock used for dairy pur-
poses in Great Britain are Shorthorns
and Shorthorn grades. Probably the
most suitable dairy cote for the aver-
age farmer is a Shorthorn -Ayrshire
cross. Steers whose dams are strong
grade Ayrshire cows if got by a Short-
horn bull prove excellent feeders -and
very desirable shipping cattle, As
dairy animals there are none, in the
hands of the general farmer, that will
excel the Shorthorn -Ayrshire cross,
(Review of Reviews.)
The most marked characteristic
of the first year of the new century
was the rapid growth of friendly
human intercourse and co-opera-
tion. Never before has the long-
distance telephone been so much
employed, and never, apart from
war news emergencies, have tele-
graph lines and submarine cables
bad so much business thrust upon
them. In no previous year have
newspapers and periodicals been so
widely read. Never before have
beneficent ideas been so ably propa-
gated, and in no previous year has
public opinion been so well instruc-
ted, so earnest, and so effective for
human advancement. Inventions
of every kind have made extraordi-
nary progress. Wireless telegra-
phy has achieved entire success for
moderate distances, and there was
announced, last month, an initial
and partial success in the attempt
to communicate across the Atlantic
Ocean by electric signals conveyed
through the atmosphere. This
hopeful experiment was conducted
by Signor Marconi, who received at
a temporary station on the coast of
Newfoundland certain signals trans-
mitted from his corresponding sta-
tion on the British coast. Mr.
Tesla, meanwhile, spent the year
in carrying forward what he has
cgi}fidently assured the public
would be a complete and mai:ure
success in this same field of long-
distance telegraphy without wires ;
and other experimei:ters, in both
Europe and America, have made
valuable inventions toward a like
end. These promising experiments,
though not scoffed at in any quar-
ter, have apparently caused no
stagnation in the industry of con-
structing and laying deep-sea ca-
bles ; and projects have been well
advanced, during the year, for both
a British and an American cable
line across the Pacific, the Ameri-
can plan being to connect our coast
with the Philippines via Hawaii.
A few years ago, the laying of a
new bit of submarine cable was re-
garded as a matter of uncommon
interest ;; but nowadays the increase
of the network of wires that cross
oceans or connect islands with
mainlands goes on with compara-
tively little notice. The great ad-
vantage of wireless telegraphy will
be in the cheap service it promises.

SHOORING AOOIDENr.-On Wednesday
afternoon, Lorne Tabb, aged 4 years,
son of Thomas Tabb, of 6th con,, Col-
borne, was accidentally and fatally shot
by his cousin, Ernest Stevens, aged 9.
A rifle had been loaned and returned the
day previous, and Mr. Tabb, having only
one cartridge, placed it in the rifle, an
old Snyder, and stood it in the corner of
the upper hall way. On the .day of the
accident, Mr. and Mrs. Stevens, with
their son, Lorne, visited their relatives
and the children played together. Mrs.
Tabb, noticing her nephew near the rifle
told him not to touch it, but he replied,
"It is not loaded, as it was fired off yes-
terday," and the next thing she heard
was the fatal shot that drew her to the
hall way where she found her son dead.
The charge from the -rifle entered the
boy's mouth and blew away a large por-
tion of the head. Death was instan-
taneous.

E Do you like Pan-
Slowly Dying From Catarrh.
Thousands are in this terrible condition
but don't realize their danger. if you
have the slightest taint of Catarrh,
would it not he wise to commence Ca-
tarrhozone treatment now and be per-
fectly cured in a short time? This plea-
sant remedy cures without the use of
drugs, atomizers or snuffs. You inhale
the medicated vapor which spreads to
all parts of the breathing organs, kills
the germs and heals the inflamed sur-
faces. Catarrhozone clears the throat
and nose instantly, and never fails to
cure the most obstinate catarrhal, lung
and throat troubles. A trial will de-
monstrate the value of Catarrhozone,
which sells for $1.00,' small size 25 cts.
