-Farmers and large manufacturers
in the United States are asking per-
mission of the American immigration
commissioners to permit them to ar-
range with General Booth for the
transportation to the United States of
from 15,000 to 20,000 emigrants of a
similar stamp to those now being sent
out to the Dominion.

-Servia is a little kingdom in
Europe with about the same popula-
tion as Ontario, and yet during 1905
there were 683 cases of political as-
sassination, and in most of the cases.
the assassins went scot free. Fancy
683 politicians in Ontario wiped out in .
one year. We would not chose poli-
tics for a, bnsiness, 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 3i inches wide, and the sil-
ver can be 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 them of the ubi-
quitous microbe is indicated by the
number computed in an actual experi-
ment, according to an exchange. In
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 make the pails really
clean. Presumably steaming or scald-
ing would be the only way to disinfect
them, and then one .night expect a
few germs to be left around the
corners.

-Galalith is a new horn -like pro-
duct from cow's skimmed milk, made
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 cif 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 a Provincially -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 costs us nearly
three times what it did in 1803 when
Sir Wilfrid Laurier proclaimed his in-
tention of reforming it, and it is abso-
lately useless, owing to the membership, f opartisan-
ship pas a branch. of
its
the legislative machinery. It is no
safeguard against hasty legislation, as
witness its endorsement of the un-
called-for Grand Trunk Pacific scheme
• and it offers no protection to the
weaker tnembers of the Confedera-
tion, as its ready consent to the coot. -
cion of the Western provinces proves.
The Senate is more expensive and less
useful than it WAS prior to the coming
of the "Senate reformers" to °lute.

-The voters of Chieago, in a special
election in April, voted for the muni-
cipal ownership of the street railroads
but against the municipal operation
of them, The vote w*Ii a good deal
smaller than the vote whereby 1►layot'
Dunne was elected on a general, and
somewhat vociferous, platform of
municipal ownership, but a smaller
vote was, of course, to be expected in
an 'off" election, especially at an elec-
tion when no candidates were voted
for, but only propositions, Whether
theo s c
pi po c 1 rltetliod of securing
municipal ownership, by the issue of
$75,000,000 of special certificates, will
be pronounced practicable by the
courts remains to be seen. But a fair

- 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 tertned =amt. FIRMA -
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, may be recorded yearly. Our
buildings rock and 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 lire far north of the
equator, never perceive the feeble
tremors of the earth beneath our feet.
But the man who spends his Iife in
studying the tnovements of the land,
great and small -seismologist he calls
himself -knows better,

-Hon. Peter White, M, P„ of Pem-
broke, died at Clifton Springs, N. Y.,
last Thursday morning. Ile 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 1896, 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 fanner knows that it
does not pay to cultivate poor or ex-
hausted land. Profitable agriculture
implies a fertile soil to produce boun-
tiful 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
th'e 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 tliat what farmers must need
is intensive agriculture and not more
land.
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 the Provincial 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 rnilvay taxation last year,
in round figures, was $192,000. It is
expected that p ha t the new taxation will
bring it up to $382,000.
In arranging for the distlibation of
the money so raised it is provided
that $30,000 is to be set aside to meet
the cost of the Provincial Itailway
Commission, which is to be treated,
and to cover the expense of collecting
the tax. Of the balance, half is to go
to the Province, and half to the muni-
cipalities, distribution to be based ac-
cording to population, as shown by
the Dominion census. Mr. Matheson
figures that this will give eight tents
per head of population to the mink'.
panties.
The Weekly Sun contends that the
increased tax is not large enough, and
many prominent tamers argue along LEI LEIBICIMPITOURIS
the sante line. On the other hand,
the railways. complain of being taxed
too high by the new Bill. A deputa-
tion waited en the Government re-
cently, and stated that the rate was
excessive, particularly when compared
with taxation in States of the United
States, where the net earnings were
threetimes much t' ties as n Lclt as in Ontario.
o..
With the Provincial and municipal
taxes, and the coal tax, Canadian rail-
ways were paying nearly one-half as
much again as the taxes in the United
States, over and above the interest on
bonded indebtedness and the iLntollirt
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 hard un-
der the present measure,
TIE SESSIONAL INDEMNITY.
(Toronto Stile),
The fact that stands out in the de-
bate on the sessional indemnity 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 who believed that $2,500 was a
fair recompense for the work of a
session. Either the majority of tate
members do not take this view of
public opinion, or they believe that
by the time the next election collies
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 a right, without at; mandate from
the people, to increase the indemnity ;
and whether $2,500 is afair indemnity,
or if not, what stun 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 sum 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.
