—Hon, W. S. Fielding estimates I
that during the current year his ex-
penditure will reach the enormous
dimensions of $05,250,000. Ile
proposes to disburse on consoli-
dated fund, $51,000,000, an in-
crease as compared with 1000---01
of $4,133,632, His capital outlay
will amount tc $14,250,000. The
prospective revenues of the country
are placed at $56,$00,000. This
means a deficit of at least $8,-
450,000,
—The world's total production
of sugar has reached 8,500,000 toes
per annum. In the United States
the consumption of sugar has dou
bled in the last twenty years, and
they produce from cane and beets
one-tenth of the quantity used.

—Last year the refined sugar im-
ported into Canada from all coun-
tries amounted to $1,428,683, as
against $84S,222 for 1900. The
importations of raw sugar amount-
ed to $6,665,855, as against $5,-

made in England to view the pro-
cession on the day of King Ed-
ward's coronation, and enormous
prices have already been paid for
the use of windows for the purpose.
For the third floor of one house,
consisting of three large bay win-
dows, $1,750 per window has been
paid. 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. In Whitehall two compa-
ratively small windows have been
engaged at a price of $1,750.

—Says the Hamilton Spectator: -
Mr. Tarte must be all broken up
over the census count. 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. But that 231-
per
32per cent. govern this country.
—The trade of the Dominion
with Great Britain for the year
1901 shows a decrease of $4,715,253
as compared with 1900. The trade
with the United States, without re-
ference to coin and bullion, increas-
ed in 1901 as compared with 1900
to the extent of $6,762,833.

—May 20th, 1902, is the new
date fixed for turning over the
Island of Cuba to its people. This
date should be a memorable one in
Cuban history, for it will not only
mark the acquisition of full inde-
pendence,but will be the Cuban In-
auguration day, it having been de-
termined that President Palma
shall be inaugurated on the same
day the American control of the
Island ceases.

—According to a statement pre-
pared by the Ontario Public Works
Department, it is shown that the
Government during the past two
sessions had voted aid amounting
to $35,190 for the draining of 260,-
000 acres, the total cost being
$300,000. Twelve drainage schemes
have been aided to the extent of
$25,590 this year. These projects
are to make fit for agriculture

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."

—The much -extolled preference
granted to England by Canada
seems to be a delusion. 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.

(Bystander in wecldy Sun.)
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.

—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. All this happened on a ship
steaming away from England at 20
knots an hour,"
