Recent estimates of the wheat field in Manitoba, Sas- katchewan and Alberta placed the total at 88,418,000 bushels. ** -Mr. Frederick Shaughnessy, son of President Shaughnessy of the C. P. R., and party, are making a tour of the world. They are travelling by the C. P. R. steamers and trains, and will complete thirty thousand miles travel. entirely on the Company's steamers and trains. This is perhaps the only transportation Co. that can furnish the same extended facilities. Good for Canadian enterprise. -There are 85,553 Indians in Cana- da, of whom 20,850 are living in On- tario. They are making some head- way in farming, and the report says that in so far as it has been possible to keep a record of them the aggre- gate earnings of the Indians from all sources exclusive of interest moneys, annuities and rentals, have reached the considerable total of $4,524,773.00, and thus exceeded those of the pre- ceding year. * * -Of all the deaths in the Dominion, between the ages of twenty-five and thirty-five, nearly one half are due to consumption. It is calculated that in Canada, at the present time, between 30,000 and 40,000 persons are suffering from it. It is now believed that the disease is preventable. It is contract- ed by taking into the system chiefly by inhalation, the germs or microbe of the disease. These germs are only derived from consumption, or some other form of tuberculosis. caliy brought about; it restores the Met command in India to the civil instead of the military authorities --a policy that would have sustained and re ,aimed Lord. Curzon ; it will forbid the further importation of coolies into South Africa, where a practical slave- ry has been established in the alines ; and it would cnt down military ex- penses. A strong cabinet and a policy of decision under a prime minister whose chief quality is blunt strength rather than brilliancy --with these the Liberals have auspiciously returned to power. R** -In addressing the jury in a per- jury ease, Judge Mabee said that there was a great deal of wilfully false testi- mony, and that, the crime, if proved, ought to be seriously punished. Jus- tice Tierney, of a municipal court in the Bronx, Greater New York, has abolished the use of the Bible in his court. Explaining his action, he said : "I have removed the Bible from use in buy court. It was a desecration to use it there. The lying words from the mouths of witnesses made its use a mockery, it travesty. I was brought up to regard it with veneration and reverence as the Word of God. It is shocking to find men calling upon the deity to witness the truth of what they say -'so help me God' -with a lie in their ,hearts and upon the lips by which they profaned the Good Book. I now swear, or affirm, a witness with uplifted hand, but it really has no significance to my mind, I would pre- fer to let every person tell his or her story without either oath or affirma- tion, and then do the best I can to- ward ascertaining the truth," * * -The expenses of the Province of Ontario under all heads last year, were borne out of the revenue, and still a handsome balance was left in the treasury. This is as it should be. The Treasurer, Col. Matheson, has an- nounced that the receipts for 1905, apart from the $100,000 received from the operation of the Temiskanning & Northern Ontario Railway, which was reported a few days ago, would be $000,000 more than the expenditure. The bonuses on timber will be $520,000 in round figures, so that the ordinary receipts have paid both ordinary and capital expenditure. 4' -It may not be generally known that litigation is in progress between the Dominion of Canada and the Pro- vince of Ontario. Last week, when the suit of the Dominion against On- tario, for $1,500,000, was adjourned at the Exchequer Court, the suit of On- tario for an increase in the interest on trust funds held by the Dominion, from 31, per cent. to 5 per cent. was begun. This is a long-standing dis- pute, involving the question whether certain sums agreed upon were really trust funds, which might be paid off in cash, or simply a basis for a per- petual annuity, calculated at 5 per cent. In the aggregate the amount involved is immense. The case is pro- ceeding. .4' -In referring to the frauds perpe- trated in the recent election in Sas- katchewan, in order to ensure the re- turn of Liberal candidates, the Regina Standard says -''The end is not yet. The people of Saskatchewan have heard enough to sicken and mortify them but the ground has only been scratched. When the complete story is told, the West Elgin manipulators, and the Minnie M. navigators, and the North York machinists, and the North Norfolk bribers, and all the other election crooks who made the Ross Government infamous in On- tario, will shake their beads and mournfully acknowledge that they were only novices.

When the war began Japanese 4 per cent. bonds were quoted at seventy-seven. Since the war they have risen to ninety- four. A new foreign 4 per cent. loan was sold two months ago and the money was used to retire. a 6 per cent. domestic loan, by which transaction the government saved a million dol- lars a year in interest. And their financiers have played their game well in this respect. When the great Heb- rew bankers of Paris became offended with the Russian Government, and, of course, later distrustful of it also, a Japanese loan of $02,500,000 was ne- gotiated with them. The total in- debtedness of Japan contracted since the war began is $675,000,000 -by no means an excessive sum in comparison with what they won. The people, frugal by long training, now with the whole force of their patriotism turned to industrial and commercial con- quests, will doubtless become rich as fast as is good for their national char- acter. .1; THE "REVOLUTION" IN CHiNA. Goderich. At the meeting of the County Conn- ell last week, the resignation of D. C. McKay as high constable for the county was accepted, and Major W. H. Gundry, of Godorich, was appoint- ed in his stead. Those parts of the washed away trestle bridge that can be collected are being hauled on to the tracts and used for trestle work, starting from the south of the abutments built for the Maitland river bridge. On the lath of March, the R. W. Provincial Grand Orange Lodge of Ontario \Vest will meet in Goderich. Tho jurisdiction comprises over 600 lodges, so that the attendance will not be less than 300 and possibly might run to 500. There has been no appointment of an assessor made yet by the 0,ouncil, and several schemes are on foot for an improvement in the assessing and col- lecting system of the town. The peo- ple at large are much dissatisfied with the existing arrangements. Mr. Goldthorpe, the proprietor of the new power scheme on the Mait- land river, is actively hustling his - scheme to develop about 2,600 horse power from the current of the river, abort 3 miles from here, using a darn about 80 feet, which floods about 1,200 acres of land of the townships of Gode- rich and Colborne. The estimated cost of the plant is $250,000, ready to sell power. The many friends of Neil Mclvor, who lives near the summer hotel, will be sorry to hear that he had to have his leg amputated at the knee on Sat- urday last. He has had disease in the bone of the leg for over forty years and has suffered more or less all that tine. During the past three years he has undergone three or four opera- tions and had all the diseased bone re- moved. Just when it was thought it was finally cured, as the bone had grown up new and solid, he developed skin cancer over the part and had to have the leg removed. He is doing well and it is hoped he will soon be around again. Although a large sum of money was set apart many months since for the C. P. R. station at this town, its style and composition has not yet been de- termined. Three styles for the pas- senger depot have been prepared, but which of them will be used has not yet been decided on. The station will be at the base of the Lighthouse hill, facing north probably, and the freight depot will be to the north front of the station, so as to be accessible to lake or vehicular traffic. The last few miles of the road will show features of engineering skill in railroad build- ing and lovely scenery that will be added attractions to a visit to the healthiest and prettiest town in Can- ada. The Russian revolution stands out big, not only because of the intolera- ble condition from which the people seek to free themselves but because there are so many millions of them. The populations immediately affected by the French Revolution and by the American Revolution were mere handfuls in comparison. Now, if the news that conies from time to time out of China be true -that there is a stir among rulers, and perhaps the people also, which looks like the be- ginning of a revolution in their policy and tendencies -then about one half of the whole human race is in revolu- tion ; and men now living will witness such wholesale changes in human so- ciety as perhaps no preceding genera- tion has seen. The stir in China -and all trust- worthy observers agree that there is a stir -is not directly to change the relation of the masses to the classes but to change the attitude of the em- pire to all foreign nations. "China for the Chinese" is the cry -in other words, an end of exploitation and of spolitation by anybody, and the build- ing up of such a national power and spirit as will enable the Chinese them- selves to develop their country, and to hold their own among the nations. Such an ambition has been awakened partly by the success of Japan, partly by the restriction of Chinese emigra- tion to other countries, but most of all perhaps by the defeat of Russia's grabbing policy and the now neces- sary holding aloof of other European nations from the same game. The Chinese are asking themselves, too, why the Japanese should exploit their commerce and industry. Why should they not develop theta themselves and make the profit? They have been from immemorial times better mer- chants than the Japanese. Why should they not Iearn the use of mod- ern industrial methods and machin- ery? The trade of the Japanese with China, is yet small, as ours is small-- insignificant in comparison with the trade that must be developed by some manufacturing people. For instance, nobody knows the quantity of cotton ' that is grown in the interior of China, picked and spun and woven by hand and:lsed wholly at home. It is conceivable that by such a study of modern military, educational, commercial and industrial methods as eome of the leaders in China are now making, the nation may in time be modernized by Chinese as Japan hits been by Japanese.
