Prejudices against immigration to a country un- der a monarchical forth of government have almost disappeared. This is a result of the experiences of American settlers already here, who And that the Gover•ntneut rests absolutely with the people. -Reports front the • Kenora (former- ly called Rat Portage) district are to the effect that wolves aro becoming very numerous, and night travel is rendered very dangerous, or almost impossible. Large numbers of deer have attracted the beasts, and it is felt that the bounty should be increased. Last week, Hon. Col. Matheson, Pro- vincial Treasurer, paid a cheque for $210 to Ernest Appleton, of Kenora, for haring decapitated fourteen wolves at $15 per each. -A Washington despatch says the War Department is making prepara- tions to send another regiment of in- fantry to the Philippines in anticipa- tion of an outbreak in China, which will necessitate armed intervention. There is no effort at either the War or State Department to conceal the fact that the administration regards the situation in China with grave anxiety, and is deeply apprehensive of having to make a campaign there in the coming summer. The second session of the eleventh Legislature of Ontario opened on Thursday, 15th inst., with the usual show and ceremony. The Speech from the Throne, as read by Lieuten- and-Governor Clark, outlines consid- erable legislation bearing upon the welfare of the Province, and the ses- sion promises to be one of the best, so far as practical results are concerned, that has been held for some time. The session of 1905 took place soon after the change of Government oc- curred, and hence very little new work could be taken up. Now it is differ- ent; the Government -has had time to look around, find out the needs, and the electors will expect an intelligent grasp of the needs of the province, and legislation to meet the necessities of the times. In this we do not think they will be disappointed. So far the Whitney Governmet has created a good impression, and mucin will de- pend upon this, the first session of constructive legislation. As the To- ronto News remarks - "The Whitney Government has done, on the whole, admirable work for the Province. Large measures of reform are to be in- troduced during this session, the Educational System is to be re- vised, the Mining Policy is to be more clearly defined, and generally the members of the Administra- tion seem to be devoted to the public interest." Among the subjects on which legis- lation is promised are :-The Educa- tional system, and in connection with this, the appointment perhaps of a Superintendent of Education, the re- moval of the Model Schools, and other improvements not yet definitely made public. A forward step is to be taken for the agricultural community. The teaching facilities of the Agricultural College are to be increased, and efforts will be made to secure for the farmer better results from the training that is given. There are to be amendments to the mining law, the details of which have not yet been finally settled. The municipal law is to be altered by the restoration of the relations of Town- ship to County Councils. There will be important railway legisiation,nota- bly a measure to control electric rail- ways. A measure consolidating the liquor license Iaw, and strengthening its provisions, and a scheme having relation to the taxation of railways will be brought down. The indications are, that the session of 1906 will be full of practical legisla- tion in the interests of the people. Criticism will no doubt be offered, but that will do no harm if conducted with a view to improvement. At pre- sent the outlook is for progressive, practical and needed reform, for which there is room. -The official figures of tie live stock exports from the United States during 1905 show that during last year total export of hogs amounted to 82,- 843, and of this number 67,739 cause to Canada, or a little over 81 per cent. Ira 1934 we only took 1,107 United States hogs. .* -Referring to the question of tariff - and the Tariff Commission, Mr. Bor- den, leader of the Opposition, said re- n y� Coillfort n Ralle�Vj1�1�ij longed than usefnd, and the Govern- ment has been successful in getting together a great many conflicting opinions.

The Review says :-"Enough has come to light to show the necessity for a full investiga- tion. No political party can afford to tolerate such conduct as the officials are charged with, and, whoever may suffer, it is the duty of those in au- thority to see that justice is fully vin- dicated. It is not a good beginning for a new Province to make." .�. -The Ontario Government has de- cided, beginning with the approaching session of legislation, to bring down the estimates before the budget speech. They can then be thoroughly discussed and disposed of in the earlier part of the session in conjunction with the public accounts, which it is under- stood will also be distributed early. This will obviate the waste of time and the delays usual to the first two or three weeks of the session. It will also allow the latter period of the ses- sion to be devoted almost entirely to government and private legislation. • * * -The leading railroads of New Eng- land have for a considerable time sold a thousand books of utile tickets for $20, 2c per mile. Up to a recent date, these books were good only to the person to whom they were issued, but now they are made transferable. Thus a man who buys a thousand -utile book can now allow anyone he chooses the use of it. Why should not Canadian railways give the same privilege. In many cases they have been bonused and aided by a patient, tax -paying public, and some concessions are due, and would be appreciated by the tra- velling public. .: -There will be a conference between Hon. Nelson Monteith and represen- tatives of the thirty-eight county councils in Ontario on Friday of next week, to discuss the new County Councils Act, which was introduced last session and laid over until this one in order to give time for public consideration of it. The main object of the bill is to secure on county coun- cils the presence of more men who have had experience in township work by providing that, they shall consist of reeves and deputy -reeves. Large mu- nicipalities will also be given more reasonable representation than they now have. • r • -The members of the Grange want radical changes, and are especially se- vere on the Senators. At a recent meeting a prominent member said :-- "I -- "I move, then, that we request the abolition of the Senate." "We have men there who couldn't get a seat in any constituency in the country, who couldn't even get a seat in a county council, and yet they are there draw- ing large salaries and are maintained at agreat expense to the country." The motion was heartily endorsed by other tnerbers of the Grange and was carried unanimously. It was decided to recommend that the Dominion Government be urged by the Grange to rescind the legislation of the last session regarding salaries, pensions and indemnities. An annual expendi- ture of $30,000,000 in Canada for 6,000,- 000 people was also condemned. The County Councils were also pronounced useless. .. naval expert says:- "Nothing as de- vastating as this concentrated destruc- tion has ever been conceived in the brain of than. It 18 impossible to pic- ture 1 di- rected '1 tore the result of one minute's rected fire at an enemy's ships, and when one minute is followed by othere the effect would be too terrible for words to describe. .�• -The Dominion Government, it is announced, contemplates making int- mediate improvements lit transporta- tion facilities, both at the lake ports and the ocean terminals. It has not yet been decided whether they will build the Ottawa and Georgian Bay Canal or not. If they determine to undertake that work, it means an ex- penditure of front eighty to one hun- dred millions of dollars, spread over a period of years. An engineering diffi- culty is in the way of the construction of this canal, in providing sufficient water at what may be called the "summit" of the route of the canal, to ensure a steady and continuous supply for 21 -feet navigation. The building of the new departmental block, the estimated cost of which is to be two and -a half millions, is to be deferred for the present. This and other like works must give place to important and costly undertakings for the im- provement of the transportation routes. Lake and ocean terminals roust be improved, and the Govern- ment finds that the Transcontinental Railway is an expensive proposition. Only pressing public works, it is an- nounced, will be proceeded with for the present. --Great Britain has Iearned lessons from the naval battles in the Russo- Japanese war, and has already, it is said, put some of the knowledge gained to practical account. Reeently a new war vessel was launched that eclipses anything afloat. She is called the "Dreadnought," and in a sea battle Will be able to discharge every minute ten projectiles weighing 8,500 pounds with sufficient velocity to send theist 5 miles, or to penetrate about sixteen inches of the hardest armor at a, range - of about two miles.
