Fancy 683 politicians in Ontario wiped out in one year. We would not chose poli- tics for a business, if we were so un- fortunate as to live in Servia. *** -The mineral resources of Ontario are amazing, and the people are only beginning to be aware of their value. Another rich silver vein was discov- ered on Friday, and is one of the rich- est. It is 34 inches wide, and the sil- ver can he taken out of it in slabs with an ordinary crowbar. Gold has also been found in the district, that assays $17,000 to the ton of ore. *** -Mr. Tucker's wide sleigh bill has been amended almost beyond recogni- tion. As finally passed by the com- mittee to which it was referred, it provides that all new sleighs after 1907 shall be of a width of 3 feet 7 inches, It does not deal with the case of old sleighs at all. It is just possible the measure may be dropped altogether at this point. ** -The importance of care in washing milk utensils to rid thein of the ubi- quitous microbe is indicated by the number computed in an actual experi- ment, according to an exchange. Iu the first washing were found 7,389,000 bacteria ; in the second. washing, 157,- 000 ; and in the third washing, 58,000. We are not told how many washings it would take to snake the pails really clean. Presumably steaming or scald- ing would be the only way to disinfect them, and then one might expect a few germs to be left around the corners. *4* -Galalith is a new horn -like pro- duct from cow's skimmed milk, .lade by a certain patented process of hard- ening, superior to celluloid, in that it is absolutely odorless, not at all in- flammable, and produced at lower cost. It takes the finest and most brilliant colors. The imitations of turtle -shell, amber, corals, etc., can hardly be distinguished from the gen- uine. It is already used for the manu- facture of an endless variety of useful and ornamental articles, combs, hair- pins, cigar holders, handles for um- brellas and canes, boxes, buttons, paper knives, seals, dominoes, dice, etc. *** --The Government of the new Pro- vince of Alberta is taking a decided step in advance, and seems inclined to prevent telephone -monopoly from get- ting a hold on the Province. In the estimates, last week, the Government provides twenty-five thousand dollars for undertaking preliminary work to establish aProvincially-owned tele- phone system. Attorney - General Cross, at the same time, notified the House that he would bring in a bill empowering the municipalities to en- gage in the telephone business. The Government proposes establishing a long distance system, leaving the local lines to the municipalities. *♦* -The Daily -Mail Empire says : "To- day the Upper House tests us nearly three times svhat it did in 1893 when Sir Wilfrid Laurier proclaimed his in- tention of reforming it, and it is abso- lutely useless, owing to the partisan- ship of its membership, as a branch of the legislative machinery. It is no safeguard against hasty legislation, as witness its endorsement of the un- tailed -for Grand Trunk Nellie scheme and it offers no protection to the weaker members of the Confedera- tion, as its ready consent to the coer- cion of the Western provinces proves. The Senate is snore expensive and less useful than it was prior to the coming of the "Senate reformers" to office. sus M 1 S in Apvoters rilof Chicago, in a special eleetfon , voted for the muni- - eipal ownership of the street railroads but against the municipal operation �+ ti1M## iKiN1�M11�1114N/#life#NiNliEiii#NMS##i#A� of them, The vote was d gourd deal smaller than the vote whereby Mayor Dunne was elected on a general, and somewhat vociferous, platform of municipal ownership ; but a smaller vote was, of eomse, to he expected in an "ori:" election, especially at au elec- tion when no candidates were voted for, but only propositions, Whether the proposed .method of securing municipal ownership, by the issue of $75,000,000 of epochs' certificates, will he pronounced practicable by the courts remains to be seen, But a fair interpretation of this vote is that it shows !a CO ti (1 earnestness for1 municipal ownership. - Speaking of earthquakes, that ex- cellent authority, the Scientific Ameri- can says :-The land on which we live and build our houses -the land, which the sea -writers of the early part of last century confidently and almost affectionately termed smuts .l. ri1(n;A-- is well nigh restless as the ocean which washes its shores. Even in the north some seventy unfelt earth- quakes, each having a duration vary- ing from twenty minutes to several hours, inay be recorded yearly. Our buildings rock incl sway, if we could but see them, as the masts of a ship on a heaving sea. To be sure, the in- cessant rising and falling of the waters is more violent than the motion of the land. But the difference between the two is largely a difference of effect - the difference between a, billow and a ripple. We, who live far north of the equator, never perceive the feeble tremors of the earth beneath our feet. But the man who spends his life in studying the movements of the land, great anti small -seismologist he calls himself -knows better. . -Hon. Peter White, M. P., of Pem- broke, died at Clifton Springs, N. Y., last Thursday morning. He was a son of the late Lieut. -Col. Peter White, of Edinburgh, Scotland, who founded the town of Pembroke in 1828, and was one of the great lumber merchants of the Ottawa valley, a business in which the late Speaker was also en- gaged. He was born in 1838 and edu- cated in the local school. For some years reeve of Pembroke, in 1874 he was elected member for Renfrew North, but was unseated. He was again elected January, 1876, and sat as one of Sir John Macdonald's "old guard" till the end of the 3rd Parlia- ment. He was re-elected in 1878, and retained his seat till 1890, having been chairman of the Standing committee of the House of Commons on Agricul- ture and Immigration, and Speaker of the 7th Parliament, 1891-96. He was opposed to the Government policy on the Manitoba school question. The late Speaker had a reputation as a forceful and able debater, with a busi- ness -like grasp of public questions. * -The followingfrom the Stratford Herald is of importance to farmers :- The intelligent farmer knows that it does not pay to cultivate poor or ex- hausted land. Profitable agriculture implies a fertile soil to produce bonn- tifnl crops. If the farmer's land is ex- hausted he must treat it as a physi- cian would an invalid, and nourish it to convalesence and vigor. Live stock, clover and crop rotation will soon bring exhausted land back to average productivity. Deep plowing and an occasional subsoil plowing will bring new mineral elements into utili- ty for crops. Deep cultivation allows the soil to hold larger quantities of water to feed growing plants. The extermination of weeds is accom- plished by frequent, thorough cultiva- tion, which reduces the surface to a fine mulch that will prevent the evap- oration of moisture and stimulate plant growth. Intensive farming on small holdings near large cities now produces profitable results. The Rev. M. Detrich, on a 15 acre farm, near Philadelphia, in six years paid off a loan of $7,200, besides supporting his family, from the sales of his products. Many other illustrations are on record to show that what farmers most need is intensive agriculture and not more Iand. RAILWAY TAXATION. The Matheson Railway Bill, now before the Legislature, doubles the tax on railways. The Bill provides that all railways over 150 miles in length, in organized counties, shall pay a tax into theProvincial Treasury of $60 for each mile of single track, and $20 for each mile of additional track. In unorganized districts the tax will be $40 and $10. On railways under 150 miles in length, the tax will remain as at present -$15 for each mile of single track, and $5 for each mile of additional track. A change is made by imposing a tax of $10 on each mile of electric railway track on public highways. The revenue received by the Pro- vince from railway taxation last year, in round figures, was $192,000. It is expected that the new taxation will bring it up to $382,000. In arranging for the distribution of the money so raised it is provided that $30,000 is to be set aside to meet the cost of the Provincial Ittailway Commission, which is to be created, and to cover the expense of collecting the tams, Of the balance, half is to go to the Province, and half to the lnnni- cipalities, distribution to be based ac- cording to population, las shown by the Dominion census, Mr, Matheson figures that this will giveeight cents per head of population to the munici- palities. The Weekly Sim contends that the increased tax is not large enough, and tnaatiy prominent f`anrmerit argue along the same line. On the ether land, the railways complain of being taxed too high by the new Bill. .A deputa- tion waited on the Government re- cently, and stated that the rate was excessive, particularly when compared with taxation its States of the United States, where the net earnings nings were three tinges as much as in Ontario, With the Provincial and municipal taxes, and the coal tax, Canadian rail- ways were paying neatly one-half as much again as the taxes in the United States, over and above the interest on bonded indebtedness and the amount required for paying dividends. There was no desire on the part of the rail- ways to shirk taxation, but they did feel they were being hit too bard un- der the present measure, THE SESSIONAL INDEMNIFY. (Toronto Star). The fact that stands out in the de- bate on the sessional indomulty is that the members will not give np the in- crease. It has been generally sup- posed that public opinion was against it; this has been admitted even by some svho believed that $2,500 was a fair recompense for the work of a session. Either the majority of the members do not take this view of public opinion, or they believe that by the time the next election comes round public opinion will have chang- ed. In any case, the result is that the $2,500 indemnity stands for this Par- liament. It may or may not be a live issue in the next general election. Two questions will then be consid- ered -whether members of Parliament had aright, -without a mandate from the people, to increase the indemnity ; and whether $2,500 is a, fair indemnity, or if not, what sum is a fair indemni- ty. Undoubtedly "the thing that was most questionable was the act of leg- islators in increasing their salaries without the consent of those who pay the salaries. But in the general elec- tion, as the people will resume their power of control, this point will be less important than it is to -day, though it may cause certain members of Parliament to be severely heckled. The people, therefore, will have to say what sump is a fair recompense to a member for his work during a ses- sion of Parliament. And in all pro- bability the candidates will defend the indemnity of $2,500, and that will become the standard. It will be re- garded as a liberal, if not an excessive, recompense, and the people ought to see to it that it goes to none but to earnest and industrious men, who will make their duties seriously.
