In 1903 the value of the land mortgaged to loan com- panies was less than $215,000,000, and the loans overdue represented less than one per cent. of the whop In 1895 the value of the real estate mort- gaged to loan companies in Canada was $238,000,000, and the percentage of loans overdue was 3.65 per cent. It looks as though we had passed the "crest of the wave" of good times, when the mortgages are increasing and the amounts overdue are also on the increase. -A special despatch from New York gives the following to the daily papers : The scandalous news of graft at Ottawa is no news to United States contractors, who have bid for con- tracts from the Dominion Govern- ment. The other day a number of contractors of government jobs were together, when one of them said - "You talk about graft in the United States," said one, and his views were backed by the others. "Why it isn't a circumstance to what I found in Ot- tawa and that very recently. I have tendered for contracts in every coun- try on this continent but I never faced a fiercer proposition of graft than I did at Ottawa. Graft stands out on Parliament Hill like free silver in Co- balt." *** -Hon. R. L. Borden has done his duty well in attacking and exposing the grafts in connection with the Northwest lands. In an excellent speech on Wednesday of last week, it pointed out that during the time Hon. Sifton was Minister of the Interior, T. A. Burrows, M. P. (brother-in-law of Sif ton) secured timber limits amounting to 4781 square miles, or 305,920 acres, at 16e cents an acre, thus making hint Canada's biggest land- owner. Thus it is that while there are lots of young Canadians would be pleased to get land, speculators and government favorites are loaded down with government favors and benefits. It looks as though the "graft" evil will awfully besmirch the record of the Laurier administration. TUE DOMINION EXPENDITURE. (The Weekly Sun). Our total expenditure for all pur- poses, for tete year ending with next month, will, according to Mr, field- ing, aggregate $82,000,000, while our revenue, great as it is, will fall $3,000,- 000 short of this sum. The figures for the coming year are still more startling. The Government is changing the financial year to end with March 31st, so that appropria- tions are being made for nine months only. For the nine months ending with March next, $68,236,000 have al- ready been voted, and Mr, Fielding says supplementaries of $2,000,000 are still to conic, tines making the total over $70,000,000, or, say $7,700,000 a month. This is very nearly a million a month more than for the year now about concluded, and the total expen- diture for the nitre months ending with March will exceed the revenue for the same period of last year by $13,000,000, Mr. Fielding naturally claims some credit because of the fact that for the nine years- ending with June the in- crease in the net debt of the Dominion will amount to less than seven and three-quarter million dollars. But the real question is, has the Government done as well as it might have done with the means placed at its com- mand, as a result of the years of pros- perity which have come to Canada in common with all other countries ? In the year in which the present Govern- ment attained power the combined re- ceipts from Customs and Excise tax- ation amounted to $28,000,000. In the nine years since then the average has been over forty-three and a half mil- lions. The present Government has thus had a revenue from taxation, on the average of $15,500,000 a year in ex- cess of that of its predecessors. It could therefore have spent $10,000,000 a year from taxation in excess of its predecessors and still have had nearly $50,000,000 to apply to debt reduction. Instead of reducing the debt by $50,- 000,000, it has increased it by well on to eight millions. The facts as to the present financial condition of the Dominion may, per- haps, be more clearly brought home by a comparison with that of our neighbors across the way. The net debt of the United States represents less than $12 per capita ; ours is about $45 per head. The interest charge on the United States debt is thirty cents per head of the population ; ours, over and above interest from investments, is about $1.45 per head. The total annual expenditure of the United States Government is equal to $7 per head of the population ; ours is nearly $14 per head. The demand for rigid economy, and the spending of public money only for legitimate public purposes, is impera- tive. -The reports of all the life insur- ance companies doing business in the United States indicate that the expos- ure of the perversions of the great companies have had the effect not only of benefiting the public, but of greatly increasing the business of the many honestly and economically man- aged companies. Instead of the ex- posures and the consequent public en- lightenment doing life insurance harm, they will do it good. But hereafter the successful companies will not be investment bureaus or shelters for syndicates or allies of stock specula- tors. The field for pure, straight life insurance was never better than to- day. The people are the greatest gainers but every life insurance com- pany which is honestly and economi- cally conducted will get benefit from the popular awakening. It is likely that the same results will follow in Canada, if the investigation is thor- ough and all abuses are corrected. *** -The Dominion Government is be- ing criticized for the provisioning of the steamer Arctic for her trip to Hudson's Bay. Among the articles purchased, were -500 Havana cigars, 4000 Laurier cigars, 4000 other cigars, 5000 cigarettes ; 805 lbs. extra best smoking tobacco at 05 ets., 200 lbs. chewing tobacco at 78 cts., 1005 lbs. tobacco at 39 cts.; 100 gross of match- es; ten checker boards and checkers at $51.90 ; of playing cards there were 55h doz. packages at $3.95, 6 dozen at $2.55, and 51 doz. at $3.20 ; also 331 - dozen of pipes from $3.20 a dozen up- ward; this was all from one firm. Another firm supplied 600 lbs. tobacco at 76 ets, a lb., 144 lbs. chewing tobac- co at 69 cts.; 342 lbs. extra smoking at 80 cts., 102 lbs. Navy Cut at 75 ets., also 70 lbs. of Wigwam at $1 a lb. and 50 Ibs. of choice at $1.00 ; in all there was over a ton and a half of tobacco. Lest the crew should be thirsty, there were 10 cases Pomery wine, $320; 1081 gallons Jamaica rum at $4 a gallon ; 110 gallons alcohol at $4.50; best lime juice, 108 gallons ; 5 cases Cognac brandy, $00; 5 eases of old port wine ; 21 casks. These figures are from the auditor's report. The crew must cer- tainly have fared well. Hosts of other delicacies and "comforts" ran the bill up to $118,000, all bought front govern- ment favorites without tender. So goes the country's money, under an extrsomput government. ON THE RIGHT TRACK. case of cabbages and cauliflowers grown in gardens. 1?or turnips, the, two remedies are 1 (1) The prompt treatment of the colonies which may be found on young turnips about the time they are being thinned in July and August, This may be done eith- er by hoeing out the plants which are affected and tramping them under- foot, or, if they have spread over two or three rows, probably the easiest - a way is to spray them with a lump- sack tt i sack sprayer, using the ordinary kero- sene emulsion (1 to 9) or a whale -oil - soap solution, One pounce in five gal- lons of water ; and (2), the destruction of the eggs in autumn. It is paiticu- larly this line of attack which 1 wish to draw the attention of turnip -grow- ers to at the present time. 1 have found that the eggs are laid in large numbers beneath the leaves of turnips late in autumn, and when these leaves are left on the field, as is often the case, the eggs hatch in spring and at- tack any plants growing near their hatching -place. When root crops are taken in, therefore, it is important either to turn in stock to feed on the turnip tops, or, if this is not conveni- ent, to have these plowed down deep- ly in the autumn, so that when the eggs hatch in spring they will be un- able to reach plants which they could injure. I need hardly point out to Canadian farmers that turnip or cab- bages should net be grown on the same laud two years in succession. JAMES FLETCHER, Dona. Entomologist and Botanist (Toronto Telegram). Ontario is $300,000 richer in -money because all comers have been invited to come in and bid for a section of her pulp lands. A gain of $300,000 is not to be des- dised, but Hon. J. P. Whitney has en- riched the province with something more precious than money when he has identified his Government and his party with a policy of simple, direct, straightforward courage in the ad- ministration of the public resources. The moral downfall of Canadian Liberalism dates from the moment the Laurier Government allowed the opportunities presented in the public wealth of the Crow's Nest Pass to be perverted to the profit of a lot of party magnates. Starting front its betrayal of the people in the Crow's Nest Pass bar- gain the Laurier Government has gone from bad to worse. The public resources under the con- trol of Hon. Frank Cochrane are not the raw material out of which a lot of Tory magnates can work "snaps" and "hand-outs" and Crow's Nest Pass gifts. The Whitney policy, as illustrated in the treatment of the Gillies' Limit question and in the sale of pulp wood, is in shining contrast with the deals and dickers and secret treaties which a degenerate Liberalism at Ottawa and Toronto has not been ashamed to call "statesmanship." The rank and file of the Liberal party in Ontario believe in the politics of public honesty. Hon. J. P. Whit- ney is showing that it is possible for a man to brave the frowns of the party magnates who expect to control a Government in return for their con- tributions to the support of that Gov- ernment. So far Mr. Whitney has contributed the virtues of courage and public honesty to the defence of the people. The people, irrespective of party, will contribute their votes to the support of Hon. S, P. Whitney. The Whitney Government seems to be great enough to be honest and honest enough to be great, t THE TURNIP APHIS. Although this serious enemy of the root -grower did perhaps not quite so much harm last year, in most parts o etitne the ease, Canada, s of anad , , nevertheless some fields were very much injured, and the crops of others practically ruined. The turnip aphis attacks not only turnips, but also cab- bages, and is particularly destructive to cauliflowers. The usual remedies recommended for plant lice of all kinds, sttch as soap washes, etc., will answer for this insect also, when they orifi be applied, es, for kidney, in the The Root Of Neuralgic Headache.
