The gold °output of the Transvaal for the lust good year before the war broke out was valued at $57,000,000. Thus the cows and pigs of Canada have a prodatingpower worth within $17,- 000,000 of as much money every year as the gold mines of the Transvaal. The gold output of the Transvaal will of course increase.. So will the pork, butter and cheese output of Canada, a country which, thanks more to the industry of the people than the wisdom of her poli- ticians, promises to become the richest land on earth. * * * —A. deputation of seven or eight hundred dealers representing the liquor trade waited on Premier Ross on Friday, in opposition to legislation along the lines of Prohi- bition. ** —During the year 1901 the debt of the Province of Ontario increas- ed by $655,342, or about $2,000 every working day.

TILE WINGUAM ADVANCE. SUNDRY POINTERS. t1rom Toronto Telegram.) \Vhat IIon, G. W. Ross wants, to discover is a referendum that will fool the prohibitionists With- out offending them, If $5 bills really do carry dis- eases, the recent bye -election will be responsible for an awful epide- mic in West York. The Globe is another "life-long prohibitionist" which is open to argument iu favor of the referen- dum or any other method of kill- ing off prohibition. It is a pity that West Huron did not give Hon. J. T. Garrow some- thing to cry for instead of .,ending him to the Queen's Park to weep over the woes of the poor, down- trodden corporations. The Ontario Legislature will spend days in exploiting its own ignorance of the provincial finances and then grumble if it has to spend minutes in defeating corporate at- tacks on the public rights which. it is paid to protect. —The Mayoralty election in London, Ont., seems to have suf- fered from similar tactics to those that prevailed inWest Elgin, North Waterloo and West Huron Domin- ion elections. According to the Free Press, the ballots in the poll- ing sub -divisions show that one hundred votes were polled more than the poll -books show electors who voted. One poll clerk is in jail, charged with adding twelve names to his poll -book, of men who never were near the booth that day. The Free Press sees clearly that similar disgraceful tactics prevent- ed the election of Adam Beck at the last Provincial contest. Tho authors of the West Elvia.,. and other ballot frauds, and the politi- cians who have shielded the wrong- doers, have brought election ras- cality to such a point, that the bal- lot boxes no longer reveal the will of the electors, but that of the tricksters who manipulate the ma- chine. Honest men of both politi- cal parties should unite to stem the tide of electoral corruption that has been let loose in Ontario.

Mr. Garrow has strong views on the question of bringing so many expert witnesses' into court to testify in civil cases. Frequently a dozen expert witness- es have been called in legal actions. This causes much expense. Mr. Garrow's bill is to limit the calling of expert witnesses to three for each side. —The parliamentary reporter for the Toronto Telegram reports thus- ly:—"Day after day since the Le- gislature opened petitions praying for prohibition have been presented to the House. Those prayers ceas- ed yesterday afternoon, when after some fifty petitions had been ,pre- sented, the time for legally receiv- ing such documents of state expir- ed. No more shall behests for pro- hibition delight the heart of G. W. Ross. The dry spell is broken." * * * —His Grace Archbishop Bru- chest has given notice that there are not to be any more municipal or electoral meetings on Sunday in Montreal. This is a result of the recent campaign in St. James' Di- vision and the municipal meetings which candidates convened on the Lord's Day. There is a law per- mitting such meetings to be held in rural districts of the ecclesiastical Provinc3 of Quebec, but in cities the practice is forbidden. ONTARIO FINANCES. When Sir Wilfrid Laurier recon- structs the Ontario end of his Cabi- net by the infusion of a still larger percentage of smooth mediocrities, he will have an outfit that cannot be excelled by any County Council in the province. (Guelph Herald.) The method of book-keeping adopted by the Ontario Govern- ment renders valueless the annual statement of the accounts as inter- preted by the Provincial Treasurer' Casually reading the abstract pub- lished on Monday, one would be inclined to •the belief that the finan- ces of tha Province were in a pros- perous and improving condition. An examination of the details of the statement shows conclusively that such is not the case. The or- dinary revenue was $3,949,043, and the ordinary expenditure 84,038,- 834, a deficit of about $90,000. When our expenditure was less than three millions the Toronto Globe said it was time to call a halt ; the limit had been reached. But, regardless of the Globe's warn- ing, the expenditure has gone on increasing ever since. In 1899 it was $3,710,420. Now it has passed the four million mark, an increase of over three hundred thousand in three years. To meet this increas- ing expenditure, and show a bal- ance on the right side of the ledger, the license fees have been largely taken from the municipalities; mu- nicipal taxation of corporations has been diverted to the Provincial treasury, and our timber assets sac - rifled to a greater or less extent as the emergency of the situation de- manded. The ordinary revenue claimed by Mr. Ross, and set off against ordinary expenditure, con- tains an item of $517,000 received from the sale of timber limits. Imagine a farmer disposing of ten acres of his land for $500, and at the end of the year, finding he had $200 to the good, boasting of his surplus on the year's transactions! He had $200 in money, 'tis true, but he was the poorer by $500 in land. Mr. Ross claims a cash bal- ance of $427,209, but the Province has been denuded of timber to the extent of $517,000. Nor is that the most serious phase of the ques- tion. The Provincial Treasurer, in striking his balance, takes no ac- count of the railway expenditures for the year. To meet those ex- penditures we have had to borrow $655,342. Our railway debt now amounts to $5,870,040, an addition of $2,600,000 in ten years. It looks, indeed, as if it were time for a change. ° * —Speaking of the uselessness of petitions, the Seaforth Expositor points out their inevitable fate, thus :—We notice that the Legisla- ture is being inundated with Prohi- bition petitions ; each sitting there is a new shower. It is a pity there should be so much wasted and mis- directed effort as these petitions re- present. If those getting them up could only realize how little good they do, they would scarcely waste the time and effort necessary. The title of each petition is read in the Legislature by the member who re- ceives it ; it is noted by the clerk ; is placed in a basket and carted off to the lower regions, where it re- mains until the close of the session, and then the whole lot of them are burned in the furnace, They have no more influence on the members than so much waste paper. If these petitioners want to have their case heard in the Legislature, they must get at the individual member in their own. constituency, That is the place to make the impression. If they can secure sufficient power in this way they will soon notice a movement in the Legislature. Pe- tition:,' won't do it, and those who get them up and send thein in are simply wasting their time. A et - directly to the rncieber is worth a :al more than all she pe- titions that could be framed. CHOICE SEED GRAIN.

Minister of Agriculture another distribution will be made this season of samples of the most productive sorts of grain to Canadian farmers for the im- provement of seed. The stock for dis- tribution is of the very best and has been secured by the Director of the Experi- mental Farms from the record-breaking crops recently had in the Canadian North-west. It will be worth while for farmers generally to renew their seed of oats when varieties which have pro- duced more than 100 bushels per acre can bo had. Tho distribution this Spring will consist of samples of oats, Spring wheat, barley, field pease, Indian corn and potatoes. Every farmer may apply, but only one sample call be sunt to each applicant, hence if an individual receives a sample of oats lige cannot also receive one of wheat, barley or potatoes, and applications for more than one sample for one household cannot be entertained. These sainpies will be sent free of charge through the mail. Applications should be addressed to the Director of Experimental Farms, Ottawa, and may be sent in any time before the 15th of March, after which the lists will be closed, so that all the samples asked for may be sent out ill good time for sowing. Parties writing should mention the sort or variety they would prefer, and sh.ould the available stock of the kind asked for be exhausted, some other good sort will be sent in its place. eel= Imperial Dutch Cocoa.
