Theo. Hall, Proprietor. WINGHA.M, MARCH 6, 1902. C bit oxh Z Botts --The C. P. R. will build two hundred miles of new railway in Manitoba next summer. * * —The Spring demand for farm hands in Manitoba has already started, and it is feared the supply will be insufficient. * * —The sudden break-up of winter has been disastrous to the logging industries in Michigan, Minnesota and Wisconsin. Several firms will be bankrupt. —Illinois Central Railway offi- cials have experimented successful- ly with a telephone designed to supplant the telegraph instrument in the transaction of railway busi- ness. * * —Prohibition will never be a se- rious factor in politics until it stops writing its language in resolutions and begins to write its mark on ballots. So saith the Toronto Telegram. * * —General O'Grady-I-Ialy's term will expire on June 20th, and it is expected that Lord Dundonald, who commanded the. cavalry at the relief of Ladysmith, may succeed him as commander-in-chief of the Canadian militia. * —Mr. Fisher, inthe Dominion Parliament, said it is not the inten- tion of the Government to discon- tinue the compulsory use of the test for tubercolosis, nor to abolish the ninety days quarantine against English pure-bred cattle imported into Canada. * —The Windsor Record says :— "Deep regret will be felt by the friends of Mr. James McMullen, ex -M. P., over the unfortunate condition' of his health. He has been compelled to enter a hospital for political incurables. That is what he called the Senate." —"To your tents, 0 Israel," is the cry of Dr. Carman to the pro- hibitionists. "To the ballot boxes" is the advice of F. S. Spence. But Dr. Carman says, the ballot boxes for the referendum are stuffed al- ready, by the referendum being Ioaded. Poor Ontario 1 thou art to be pitied, for thy ballot boxes are not safe from spoliation. s. a w —Twenty thousand requests have been made to the Ontario Govern- ment for the forms to be filled in by the veterans for the land grants which the Government proposes to give to the men who have fought for the country. Already 10,000 properly filled have been filed with the clerk who is looking after these land grants. It is believed, how- ever, that not more than 8,000 of the applications wi]1 be found to answer the requirements of the offi- cers of the Government, despite the great number of the applicants. * —The Gothenburg') system for dealing with the liquor traffic, of which we are hearing a good deal at the present time, takes its name from the city of Gothenburg, Swe- den, where it was first put in oper- ation, It does not mean Govern- ment ownership ; it is the power given to municipalities to grant li- censes to companies to manage the liquor traffic for the publie benefit —Under its operation, social drink- ing in public places is done away with, the hours of sale are shorten- ed, drink -selling has been divorced from politics, there are no sales on credit, and gambling in connection with public houses is abolished --- no liquor is sold to persons under eighteen—the profits of the trade, instead of going to private parties, are used for the establishment of counteracting agencies and lessen- ing taxation, --'It is said that the work of painting the Forth bride in Scot- land never ceases, except, of course, on Sundays. There aro thirty-five men continually employed on this work. They commence operations at the south end of the bridge, and proceed steadily to paint their way northward, their laborious journey occupying just three years; then they begin again. * * —After the recent interview with Premier Ross, the Ontario W. C. T. U., in a letter to the Ontario Alliance, declared that if the refer- endum asked anything more than a bare inajority, the W. C. T. members would devote themselves exclusively to the provincial elec- tions and take no part whatever in the campaign on the referendum. The Alliance will organize system- atically after the bill passes, to try and elect prohibitionists to the Le- gislature. * —Dan McGillicuddy, in the God- erich Signal, urges the Ontario Go- vernment to hurry up and fill the Huron registrarship, which has been vacant three years, and the Dominion Government to appoint a postmaster at Clinton, a job that has been open for months. The Signal remarks : "No position should be left vacant in any con- stituency longer than thirty days, and when we see how quickly simi- lar appointments are filled in other places we begin to wonder if there is not a screw loose in the Huron representation." * —Four new constituencies aro to be created in New Ontario. West Algoma will be divided into North and South. The populations by thisdivision would be 12,649 for the south, and 13,156 for the north. East Algoma is to be divided into three electoral districts, Sault Ste. Marie, Manitoulin and Algoma. The first will inclnde the Soo and the south-western portion of the present district. Manitoulin will include Manitoulin and the islands with a portion of North Shore. Algoma is to include that portion not taken in by the other two elec- toral districts and including the is- land of St. Joseph. The popula- tion of these new districts will be : Sault Ste. Marie 14,448, including the Indians; Manitoulin 14,236, and Algoma 18,096. Nipissing is to be divided into East and West Nipissing. In regard to the east riding, three townships of North Renfrew are included and some townships south of Algonquin Park, separated by the Canada At- lantic Railway, which formerly be- longed to Nipissing, are added to North Hastings. Should the Bill pass, it casts another Liberal prin- ciple to the winds—viz., "Repre- sentation by population," iloasrauch as it will give 14,000 people in New Ontario the same representation as 55,000 in Old Ontario. The pro- vince is so completely gerryman- dered now, that it can be made no worse, hence an effort must be made to save the Ross outfit, by casting another old-time Liberal principle to the dogs, and creating four more constituencies. SUPERFLUOUS. (Toronto Telegram.) A referendum might supplement the workings of responsible govern- ment, but was never meant to ex- empt a dominant party from the responsibilities of office. Any majority which might be polled in favor of protection in a referendum would be ineffectual if the system of protection chosen by the people was subject to the con- trol of a free trade Legislature and G overnment. If the people are in favor of pro- tection in a referendum, the Legis- lature and Government cannot re- fuse to give them what they want. This is the argument, which is at least no better than the answering argument that when the people can elect a Legislature and oleate a Government, they can get what they want without the help of a referendum. To say that prohibition is not strong enough to smash party lines and create a Legislature to execute its will, is to say the truth that prohibition is not strong enough to put its ideas on the statute book. The referendum is objectionable because it is a trick and an evasion of this truth. RAILWAY TAXATION. Peter Reid, formerly of Elderslie township, is now County Commis- sioner for Cavalier county, North Dakota. The following is from the Cheeky Enterprise, based on an in- terview with Mr. Reid :— There are 50 miles of railway in Cavalier County, and the amount paid by the railways into the coun- ty treasury is $7,000. Oh, for such a law in Canada ! There are about 175 miles of railway in Bruce coun- ty, and if the North Dakota law applied here, the revenue from rail- ways would be $24,500. What a happy time the municipal officers would have raising the balance of taxation for local improvements if the G. T. It. and the Teeswater branch of the C. P. R. had to hand over $24,500 every year to the county treasurer for distribution amoung the various municipalities! In Dakota the railway track is as- sessed at $6,000 per mile, and in addition the ootpp; ny has to pay taxes on station houses, side tracks and telegraph poles and wires. Ili - stead of wasting time debating the speech from the throne, our Cana- dian Parliamentarians wotilci ren- der good service to their constitu- ents by placing a law on the statute books that would force our rail- ways to return some of their im- mense profits to the municipalities that have so heavily bonused rail- way lines. RELIGIONS OF CANADA. According to a census bulletin, just issued, the number of specified denominations and sects in Canada is 142, embracing a population of 5,326,716. But, besides these, there are 30 other sects, represented by one or two individuals, each in a Province or territory, and number- ing in all 149. The rest of the population (44,188) is classed as unspecified, more than half of them being in the unorganized Territor- ies.
