A yearly deficit of two millions has been changed to a large surplus, and the population in twenty-five years has increased fifty per cent. *** —The Toronto Telegram believes that—"Died from an overdose of flat- tery and bad advice from the party organs," would be the certificate that truth would write as the cause of death in the case of every government that ever perished in Canada, *r* —A huge silver nugget was taken out of a mine at Cobalt last week. It weighed 800 pounds, and Professor Parks says it will easily run 70 per cent. silver. $150,000 worth of silver nuggets will be exhibited at the Cana- dian National Exhibition for the next two weeks. —In the past hundred years 4,000 lives, 200 ships, and $100,000,000 have been sacrificed in a futile effort to reach the North Pole. Is there any possible gain in sight from the hoped- for discovery that is at all cominensu- rate with the certain cost and suffer- ing caused by the effort to discover ? *** —The Mail -Empire says : Canada paid out in Bounties last year no less than $3,088,407, Pig iron received $687,632, steel $2,004,340, coal oil $291,- 157, lead $90,107, and binder twine $15,079. With the grants reaching so high a figure it is becoming a question whether we ought not to abolish them and to give tariff protection instead. * * —The last day of August broke all heat records in London, England. The official instruments registered 91 degrees in the shade and 129 in the sun. A number of heat prostrations in the streets were reported. The heat in England in general is so in- tense that in some places the judges presiding over the dignified county courts are reported to have dispensed justice in their shirt sleeves. * —The baseball season of 1906 has been marked by many fatalities in the United States. In the past three months 12 men have met their death as a result of the game, and over 20 have been very seriously injured, some fatally. This is but a partial list, gleaned from the various press dispatches from day to day. And this list of those hurt does not include the innumerable broken legs, fingers, arms and noses received every week. * * * —The first and second Federal Grand Juries returned ten indictments against the Standard Cil Company before Judge Bethen in the United States Circuit Court. The indict- ments, which contain 0,420 charges, are all in connection with the grant- ing of rebates. Each of the 6,420 counts in the ten indictments covers an alleged offence and is based on a tank-car shipment of petroleum pro- ducts from the refineries at Whiting, Indiana. *.* —The iron and steel bounties earned by the various companies in 1905-0 were : Pig iron --Canada Iron Furnace Co,, $10,256 ; Deseronto Iron Co., $13- 604; Hamilton Steel and Iron Co., $2.40,353; Nova Scotia Steel, $65,075; Londonderry Iron Co., $51,525; Al- goma Steel Co., $167,420. Steel ingots —Hamilton Steel Co., $07,850, NoVa Scotia Steel, $96,803; Dominion Steel, $108,571; Algoma Steel, $307,770.

About the time the system was completed the Canadian Pacific Telegraph Co. offered to take it over and operate the lines, paying the government four per cent. interest on its cost. 'This offer was rejected, the Minister of Public Works predicting that the line would earn more than $80,000 net profit for the people of Canada. It was a 'very large and expensive misealculation. But now comes the statement that a huge part of the system will be abate. timed and the wireless method adopt- ed for the Yukon business. Take it altogether this record is a fine Illus- tration of the wary riot to do govern. tr Waken. --As an example of the steady growth in value, dote an investment of the Pity of New York. The city pall $12,500,000 for Central Park, and has expended enough more in im- provements to brim; the cost up to $15,000,000. It has paid off from time to time iuost of the bonds issued to snake the payments. But even if the whole bonded debt had been kept afloat at 0 pee cent, and had to be paid oft now, the total cost would amount to about $00,000,000. The land is to -day worth. $200,000,000. And that is typical of real estate invest- ments in a big city. * * —Last spring there was an advance in the price of leather of nearly 15 per cent, and now another increase is pre - dieted. This is accounted for by the fact that the number of beef cattle killed so far this year is much smaller than for the corresponding period for the past eight or ten years, and that leather is now used for so rnany other purposes than footwear. The prices of findings has also advanced, and it is stated that by next spring there may be even a greater advance, so that the public may expect to pay a much higher price for their favorite footwear or be content with a cheaper grade at the old price. *y* —The intimation is made, with offi- cial confirmation, that the present is the richest agricultural year Ontario has ever experienced, An immense yield of grain of excellent quality is everywhere reported, and even better times than the present are heralded. The August crop bulletin issued by the Agricultural Department eviden- ces this fact. With natural conditions no more favorable than in former years the average yield per acre in all grains shows a substantial advance over all previous records. This is due to a kind Providence and improved agricultural methods. Barns are filled and prices in all products are at high water -mark. * * —This is an electric age, and steam power is giving way to electricity. It is reported that the Canadian Paci- fic Cotnpauy has decided to await the outcome of experiments by the New York Central and New York, New Haven & Hartford Railway Companies before taking steps for the electrifica- tion of any part of its system. Both the latter railways are spending enor- mous sums upon experiments, the for- mer with a direct and the latter with a single-phase alternating current. The line from Montreal to Quebec will in all probability witness the first in- stallation. All the electric power ne- cessary can be obtained from the Shawinigan Falls. * * —Seaforth Expositor : So long as the people estimate the value of the services of their representative by the amount of public money he is able to procure for expenditure in his constit- uency, just so long will governments and representatives pander to that sentiment, no matter which party may be in power. When the people become honest their representatives will be honest. When the people reach that stage of moral purity that they will not ask for nor accept a grant of public money to which they know they are not justly and equita- bly entitled, they may demand and Iook for Government reform in that direction, and not till then. * r* —Prof. James of Harvard Universi- ty cites the case of an Ohio dipso- maniac who cut his hand off for a drink. This man, crazed with a de- sire for liquor, was in an almshouse. Within a few days he had devised various expedients to procure rum, but had failed. At length he hit on one which was successful. He went into the woodshed of the establish went, placed his hand on the block, and with an axe in the other, struck it off at a single blow. With the stump raised and screaming he ran into the house and cried, "Get some rtun. Get some rum. My hand is off." In the confusion and bustle of the occasion a bowl of rum was brought, into which he plunged the bleeding member of his body, then raising the bowl to his mouth, drank freely, and exultingly exclaimed, "Now I ane satisfied * * * —It is generally known that On- tario Liberals desire a new leader, if Hon. G. W. Ross could be induced to resign the leadership. Among the names mentioned are' McItay, Graham and Preston. The last named is an able newspaper man and has a clean record. It is also rumored. that Rev. J. A. Macdonald, of the Globe, will be the man for the place. He is known among his friends to have a "weak- ness for the platform and polities," and is looked upon as a sure candidate in one of the Toronto ridings when the redistribution is made giving To- ronto six or eight members. Premier Whitney has intimated his intention to do this and it is thought that Mr. Macdonald, who has no past to but, den him in a political sense may re- ceive serious eonsideration, whet' the question of leadership comes to be settled, �.*. --It1 Japan there were already in 1902, 1,828 newspapers, dailies and others, the highest circulation of any one paper reaching about a quarter of a million. Among the looser classes one paper is read as a rule by five or slx persons. A very few of the older people cannot read, but all the young- er generational east.

Discussion runs high among people far below the voter's level, though every male over twenty-five years of age and paying a direct tax of ten yen (five dollars) is entitled to vote. The rights of discission, public assembly, and publication are as full and as fully taken advantage of as in England. —The late Russell Sage, a promi- nent United States business man and financier, left a fortune of one hun- dred million dollars. tie was born on a farm, and began life as a clerk, at $4 to month and board. Not long before his death 11e said :—'4I have always endeavored to act justly, and be pet'- fectly honest in all my dealings with my fellow -men. If I could live the last sixty years of my life over again, I would hardly vary it at all. I might change a, few little things, but the great framework would be the same. I have always tried to do my duty to my brother -man and to the communi- ty in which I lived. and this will be a great comfort to me when I depart this Iife. I have been guided by my Heavenly Father, and my own limited means of resource. My aim in life has been to do my share in developing the material resources of the country. I have spent millions, tens of millions, and hundreds of millions on the rail- road systems of the United States." •1'' MR. FIELDINfi'S CASE. (Weekly Sun.) A good deal of sympathy is being expressed for Hon. Mr. Fielding over the result of the election trial, by which he was unseated for corrupt practices by agents. These expres- sions of sympathy are a natural tri- bute to a man of many excellent qualities, genial manners, who has de- voted himself earnestly to his public duties and has been clear of the scan- dals by which some of his colleagues have been besmirched. Personal sympathy should not, how- ever, blind us to certain well-known facts. There has been growing up in this country for years past. a system under which the control of elections has been passing into the hands of then who keep outside the limits cov- ered by the public view—of men who do not come in personal contact even with candidates for election. These perform the crooked work, and candi- dates, in whom the general public have confidence, with eyes wilfully shut to what is going on beneath the surface, accept the fruits of the work performed by agents operating in the dark, Members of Parliament, no matter how clean they may be person- ally, must be held to strict account for what is done in their behalf by -these corrupt agencies. In fact, the law, or practice, should go further than it goes now. Whenever evidence is pro- duced that proves anything like gen- eral corruption by one of these dark - lantern brigades, personal disqualifi- cation should be the penalty imposed on the man elected by their aid. It cannot be contended that this would be inflicting on one man the punishment for sins for which others were alone guilty. These corrupting agencies are not maintained at the expense of the corruptionists themselves ; they are kept up in the main by levies upon subsidies and franchises improperly voted by Parliament and out of the profit on public contracts, which are so arranged as to meet the end in view. Let Parliament and the Gov- ernment shut off the source of supply, and the agencies of corruption will perish for lack of the means necessary to their support. FALL TERM OPENS SEPTEMBER 4th.
