In another house, not far from this, a corner window on the first floor is held at $5,000, and a slightly less desirable window at $3,000.

When in Gay Paree he boasted that the French in Canada numbered half the population, and that they would soon have the majority con- trol. When the census time came he had Mr. Cote appointed as spe- cial French commissioner—no oth- er nationality had anything of the sort—to look after the proper coun- ting of the French, and there is evidence that every man in Canada who had a French name was inclu- ded in the French figures. Bnt the additions have been made, and, lo 1 the total French' population of Can- ada, as scraped together by the vigilant Cote, is but 1,649,352, out of a total of 5,371,051, a little less than 232 per cent.

(Toronto World) There is more or less indefinite- ness about the immigration statis- tics that appear in the press from time to time, but there is nothing uncertain or indefinite in Presi- dent Shaughnessy's statement of the land recently sold by the com- pany in the Northwest. During the last eight months the C. P. R. disposed of 778,903 acres for about two and a half million dollars. This is at the rate of 1,200,000 acres for the 12 months. In addi- tion to this we must acid the sales made by the Dominion and Provin- cial governments and by various land companies. If only 50 per cent of the land purchased is set- tled on and cultivated, the increase in the crops of the Northwest will be enormous. Land almost any- where in the Canadian Northwest now possesses an actual commer- cial value, and that value is in- creasing. The C. P. R. will probably realize as much from its land grant as would pay off its capital stock. The government has lands enough in the Territories to wipe off the national debt if it chooses to handle them commer- cially. —Regarding the Referendum, Rev. S. F. Dixon, a Methodist minister at Seagrave, writes to the Globe as follows:—"Tho convic- tion is growing that the Govern- ment has sought to evade respon- sibility and has made a mess of the whole affair. It is because I am. a Liberal that I cannot support a Government that has been recreant to its trust, and has taken a course which I believe to be out of har- mony with the historic- record of Liberalism."

During the year 1900 Canada sold to Great Britain goods valued at $107,736,- 368, while in 1901 the sales to the Motherland were only $105,328,- 936, a falling off of $2,407,412 ; during 1900 Canada bought from Great Britain $45,472,294, while in 1901 the purchases fell to $43,164,- 297, a drop of $2,307,997. This means that the aggregate trade of Canada with Great Britain in 1900 was $153,208,662, and in 1901, 8148,403,253, a decrease of $4,715,- 253. The puzzle is, find the pre- ference.

From the report of a speech of the Attorney -General in the Toron- to papers, it appears that the au- thors of the "referendum" are seeking shelter for it under the general category of "conditional legislation." Of conditional legisla- tion, that is, of laws made to take effect on the occurrence of particu- lar contingencies, instances of course abound. But in these cases there is no delegation or division of the legislative power ; there is no shifting of legislative responsi- bility from those on whom it con- stitutionally rests. If the present is merely a. common instance of conditional legislation, why is it called by the name of a very pecu- liar institution? Our constitution may be suscep- tible of improvement. It might be improved by the institution of the referendum. At present it lays the responsibility for all legislation on the Legislative Assembly, and on the Government by which that as- sembly is led. This "referendum" is an expedient devised to evade this responsibility. By favor of the Government at Ottawa it may succeed, but it will not be consti- tutional. a * * —No doubt now exists as to the success of wireless telegraphy. In McClure's magazine for April, the following appears from an eye -wit- ness on board the steamer Philadel- phia, which while in mid -ocean re- ceived messages from Cornwall, England, 1,551 miles away :---"At a, prearranged hour, a transmitter at Cornwall shot a message through the air. Marconi and the ship's officers and others on board the Philadelpllis heard the tick, and looking at the tape saw the dots and dashes which you, or I, or anybody still eau see. .A. great number of signals and messages were sent at this distance, and sig- nais were received up to 2,001 miles.
