escape. Later news states that he
has actually escaped among a drove

—The Ontario Government will

--The Pan-American Exposition
Company is so deeply embarrassed

company is unable to meet.
—In New Zealand the franchise
was granted to women in 1893, yet
the dear creatures are not satisfied.
Now they want to be eligible to
serve on juries, fill public offices,
and sit as members of the Legisla-

seem to want everything in sight.

—The election frauds practiced
in the recent Dominion election at
Montreal, where ninety-four votes
were east at the polling place whore
they were only eighty-four voters

statement in the House of Com-
mons that there exists in the coun-
try "a system deep and well or-
ganized carried on for years of tam-
pering with the ballot," The
failure to punish. any of those who

to the people of this Province.

nected with this latest fraud in
Quebec will receive the punishment

--Prof. Goldwin Smith, who
writes over the name of Bystander
in the Weekly Sun cannot be ac-
cused of being a Conservative. On
the contrary, ib is well-known that
he is in polities a Liberal. Yet
this is what he, has to say of the
depletion of Ontario's natural re-
sources by. the Ontario govern-
ment :—
"Mr. Ross' vindication of the practice
of treating the proceeds of the sale of
timber as laconic, instead of reserving
them, or a part of them, as capital,
would seem hardly to hold water. The
timber constitutes the whole value of
the land, and will not bo renewed at all
events for a long of series of years.
For a government and a joint stock
company the rules of bookkeeping aro
the same; and the directory of a joint
stock company would hardly be held
justified in soiling the company's estate
and dealing with the proceeds as divi-
dend. IlIr. Ross says that the money
has been laid out in purchases, but un-
less the purchases produced an equiva-
lent amount of income, this is no more
than saying that the Inoney was spent.
Year after year, for a number of years,
we were told that we had a surplus,
that is to say an excess of revenue over
expenditure for each current year. Our
affairs, therefore, appeared to be in a
very flourishing condition, Yet it turns
out that all tho time the source of our
revenue was being exhausted and we
Were drifting inevitably to deficit and a
succession tax."

the escort became. Xn those clays
Exorbitant Railway Charges.
(Toronto World./
Mr, A. F. McLaren's recent ex-
posure of the exorbitant charges
of the Canadian railway ought to
form the basis of parliamentary ac-
tion of some kind. He finds, after
close investigation, that the rate
paid Canadian railways for the
transportation of cheese, butter,
bacon, apples etc., is more than 25
per cent. higher than for a relative
rail haul on United States lines.
The farmers of Ontario last year
were overcharged $175,000 on the
cheese they exported; $40,000 on
butter ; $150,000 on bacon & hams ;
$105,000 on apples, and $184,000 on
cattle—a total of $057,000. But
this is only a partial statement of
loss to Ontario producers through
railway rate discrimination. For
want of proper shipping facilities
and despatch from Montreal, a
large portion of the produce ship-
ped to that port bad to be reship-
ped to Boston or Portland, there-
by bringing up the total loss to
quite one million dollars. In the
matter of wheat, Mr. McLaren
shows that while the rate from Buf-
falo to Liverpool is 11I cents the
rate from Western Ontario points
is 21 cents. On cattle, the rate
from Toronto to Portland is 28c,
while from Chicago to Portland the
rate is the same, and from Chicago
to Montreal 25 cents. From the
Counties of Bruce, Huron and
Grey, the rate is 33 cents to Mon-
treal. A carload of cattle from
Listowel or Kincardine to Mon-
treal will cost $1.2-3 per head more
than from Chicago, Mr. McLaren
thinks a remedy is to be found in
the encouragement of steamships to
handle the traffic from the lakes to
the St. Lawrence ports. Ile at-
tributes the disparity between the
rates in the United States and Can-
adian railways to the fact that the
former are subjected to effective
competition from the ninny steam-
ship lines that aro engaged in the
inland traffic to Buffalo, "If this
great problem of transportation,"
says Mr. McLaren, "is solved up-
on true commercial lines, we will
have two families where there is
now one, we will , quadruple our
exports and we will double our
farm land values, and railways will
have two cars of freight for one
they have now.

A Gentle Hint.
In our style of climate, with its sud-
den changes of temperature,—rain,
wind and sunshine often intermingled
in a single day,—it is no wonder that
ovr cllildren, friends and relatives are
so frequently taken from us by neg-
lected colds, half the deaths resulting
directly from this cause. A bottle of
Boschee's German Syrup kept about
your horse for immediate use will pre-
vent serious sickness large doctor's bill
and perhaps death, by the use of three
or four doses. For curing Consump-
tion, Hemorrhages, Pneumonia, Se-
vere Coughs, Croup, or any disease of
the throat of Lungs, its success it
simply wonderful, as your druggiss
will tell you. Eegular size, 75 cents.
