MILLS .ens -n'+•e r...s 4.4.10 "Ilit��lllll��;lllilli�.�ltillitflttltti�tits�illttftttiltlltititlilltltli� —Statistics prepared by the Uni- ted States Census Bureau show that upward of 502 million dollars is iu- vested in the electric light and power undertakings of that coun- try, which number 3,619, and that the gross yearly earnings of these amounted to upwards of 85 million dollars. —It was recently announced that a train from London (England) to Plymouth on the Great Western Railway bad made a run of 246 miles in 2831 minutes, thus estab- lishing a world's record for a long- distance run. The officials of the Lake Shore & Michigan Southern have promptly given out figures which disprove this claim. On May 21, 1903, the Twentieth Cen- tury Limited left Cleveland at 4.02 a. m. and arrived at Elkhart, Indi- ana, at 7.23 a. m., making 246.12 miles in 221 minutes. —Among the calculators on the Government side there is consider- able disparity as to the cost of the Grand Trunk Pacific to the coun- try. Mr. Fielding estimates the amount at the low sum of $8,000,- 000. Sir Wilfrid Laurier had pre- viously figured it out at $13,000,- 000. According to John Charlton's reckoning it is $68,000,000. Mr. Blair, who bas always been regard- ed by his late colleagues as a great railway authority, puts the total at $120,000,000. From Mr. Field- ing's eight millions to Mr. Blair's one hundred and twenty millions is a long road. • —Valency E. Fuller of NewYork, recognized both in Canada and the United States as an authority on Jerseys, paid a high tribute to Ca- nadian cattle as shown at the In- dustrial Fair, Toronto. "The ex- hibition of Jerseys here is not equalled anywhere," he "said. "They are the best I have ever seen. The Guernseys are away ahead of any previous year at the Fair. There is a better showing of Jerseys here than at the World's Fair. In standard herds I really think the Dominion is ahead of the States. Canadians are better stock men, better feeders, and feeding improves the breed. This climate is better for the constitution of stock than any other part of the world." —A gerrymander is a system of representation which unfairly les- sens the power of a Tory set of votes, and unfairly increases the power of a Liberal set of votes, or the reverse. Quebec for Dominion purposes, and Ontario for Provin- cial purposes, are examples of the gerrymander worked out by adher- ents to county boundaries. Ontario under the Sir John A. Macdonald enormity of 1882 was an example of the gerrymander worked out by a departure from county bounda- ries, County boundaries hive the Tories in Quebec worse even than the Grits were hived by the gerry- mander in 1882. And the natural gerrymander which adheres to county.boundaries is just as unfair in its effects, and is an evil that calls for remedy as urgently as the artificial gerrymander which de- parts from county boundaries.— [Toronto Telegram. }. The Scientific American says :— The general -public, we fear, is not acquainted with the dangers aris- ing from arsenic coloring matter in wall paper. A recent death in Pal- mer, Mass., is directly attributed, .by the medical authorities, to this cause. The trouble which resulted so disastrously made its appearance a year and a half ago in what seem- ed to be nervous dyspepsia. Two months of travel abroad seemed to greatly improve the patient, but on returning home he soon grew worse again. On account of certain con- flicting symptoms which could not be readily accounted for, a special- ist was called in and gave it as his opinion that there was arsenic poi- soning in the system. An investi- gation was then made which re- sulted in the discovery of arsenic colors in the wall paper of the sit- ting room. This room bad been papered shortly previous to the ap- pearance of the first symptoms. The wall paper was at once remov- ed, but the disease had by this time progressed so far that it was impossible to save the life of the unfortunate man. Y —Some of the defences made of the Government's Grated Trunk Pacific scheme have been little short of insane. Sir William Mu lock, for instance, accepted as true a statement made by Hon. W. S. Fielding, to the effect that the rail- way which the Government pro- poses to partially construct and partially subsidize will cost the country $13,000,000. Some 1,826 miles of road are to be built out and the bonds of another 1,800 miles guaranteed out of such an amount. In the next breath the postmaster -general estimated that 360 miles of railway which the Conservative party propose to build in the settled portions of Ontario will cost $16,000,000. The 14over11a Malt scheme which in part involves the laying of 1,826 miles of rails tbrou h ail almost impassable conn THE W iNGIIAM ADVANCE. try is to cost $3,000,000 less than a road which will pass through au inhabited territory for 360 miles. The claim is so preposterous that it is not worthy of contradiction. It is useful, however, because it serves as a sample of the ridiculous criticism of the opposition policy and the defence of the Government policy adopted by Liberal leaders and their supporters. —War between Turkey and Bul- garia appears to be inevitable, The massacres committed by the Turk- ish troops in Bulgaria have caused intense indignation. A large sec- tion of Bulgarians and Servians, who are in sympathy with the Ma- cedonians in their struggle for au- tonomy, have all along been urging their respective governments to take up the insurgents' cause: But the authorities of both Sofia and Belgrade.have maintained a neutral attitude. Bitter jealousy exists be- tween the different Balkan states, and ,prevents any joint action against Turkey. Bulgaria is afraid, in the event of Macedonia being freed from Turkish rule, that part of it might fall into the hands of Servia, and the Servians are simi- larly fearful of a Bulgarian advan- tage, Bulgaria, like Servia, Mon- tenegra and Roumania, is in some respects an independent princi- pality, and in a sense is tributary to Turkey. It was constituted as a separate state by the Berlin trea- ty of 1878. It is governed by a Prince, advised by a Council of eight Ministers. The Macedo- nians are fighting to secure a simi- lar relief from Turkish rule. It is believed in well-informed circles that the Porte is aiming to again bring Bulgaria absolutely under the authority of the. Sultan, and that is why the Bulgarians have been pro- voked to the point of declaring war. MR. BORDEN AS LEADER. The following is the Toronto Star's estimate of Mr. Borden as leader of the Conservative party. As the Star is a Liberal paper, its opinion of Mr. Borden will be ap- preciated :— ' Both sides of the house will be glad to hear that Mr. Borden's health is restored, and that he will be able to resume his duties in parliament very shortly. As leader of a party Mr. Borden outdoes in assiduity his most diligent follow- ers, and as leader of the Opposition he has shown a splendid endow- ment of fortitude. When he took the leadership there were many wounded ambitions to heal. He has healed them as far as a man can. In some cases he has won over a faltering allegiance through his likeable qualities. He has the gift of friendship, and some who refuse to admire him as a party leader are attracted by his cordiali- ty. Mr. Borden has .accomplished a fair amount of discipline under circumstances in which discipline was difficult. His even temper and abiding courtesy have com- manded respect from friends and opponents alike." A REDUCTION DUE. (Weekly Sun.) The number of passengers carried by Canadian railways has increased from thirteen and aquarter mill- ions in 1891 to twenty and a half millions in 1902. The number of tons of freight carried has increased in the same time from twenty-one and three- quarter millions to forty-two and a quarter millions. The increase in revenue has kept pace with the expansion in busi- ness. The gross earnings of Cana- dian railways in 1891 were forty- eight million dollars. Last year the total was nearly eighty-three and a half millions. The net income has increased in the same time from thirteen to twenty-six million dollars. The business of the roads has expanded much more rapidly than the mile- age of the same has been extended. While the net income has doubled, the mileage has increased from 14,000 to less than 19,000 miles. The fact call be expressed more clearly in another way. The earn- ings of the roads are $1,000 per mile greater to -day than eleven years ago. The facts given present an un- answerable argument for reduced freight rates and reduced passenger rates as. well. The time has arrive ed when, in Old Canada at least, a passenger rate of two cents per mile should be the rule and not the ex. ception. It is absurd that the same passenger rates should be charged to -day as were charged fifty years ago, when traffic was nothing to what it is now, and when the cost of ranch of the material used in construction and maintenance was three, four, and five times what it is at present.
