-'fore than 1,000 black men, in
charge of European engineers, have
been engaged for more than a year in
grading the roadbed, laying the track
and doing all the rough work ou the
new railway that has just been opened
along the upper Congo. The line was
opened a few weeks ago, and it is the
pioneer railway iu tropical central
Africa. In straight lines, its southern
terminus at the bead of the rapids is
about 1,070 miles from Zanzibar, and
970 miles from the Congo moutb. By
building this new raiiwa.y the Congo
State has added 201 miles of steam
transportation to the 1,325 miles al-
ready in operation between the Congo
mouth and Stanley Falls.

Minister expressed the 'tope that
there would be no increase in the net

!natter of fact there was last year: an
increase of over $800,000 in the debt
of the country in spite of the alleged
surplus of $13,0(X),000, It is a great
thing for a government to have a sur-
plus, but the kind which Mr. Fielding
produces always goes with an increase
of debt,

-In the Divisional Court on Thurs-
day last, the appeal of the supporters
of Local Option iu Owen Sound was
heard, with the resnit that the vote
of the electors in favor of it was sus-
tained, and the bylaw remaius in
force in the town, It will be remem-
bered that Mr. Justice Mabee quashed
the local option by-law, which was
passed by the electors of Owen Sorted
last January. The grounds for quash-
ing the by-law were irregularities in
publishing the by-law, and the refusal
to allow property holders who had
property in more than one ward to
vote in every ward wirer* they bad
property, Chief Justice Mulock has
reversed the decision of Justice Mabee
on the following grounds -"Every
election appears to have had the free
and fair opportunity of voting for or
against the by-law, and out of the
total number of two thousand votes
cast, there was a majority of 470 in its
favor,"

-An eminent New York engineer
and practical builder who has to his
credit many of the finest sky -scrapers
of the metropolis states that a one -
hundred story building, built of rein-
forced concrete and towering more
than 1,000 from the ground, way yet
be seen by people who are living and
even reached middle life. The 50 -
story buildings, which are now being
seriously considered as a future possi-
bility, will constitute but a stepping
stone to the 75 -story buildings and
tben to the 100 -story buildings. The
principal drawback which now pre-
sents itself is said to be the impossi-
bility of providing elevator accommo-
dations for even a 50 -story building
for the reason that the weight of the
cable to support a car in the numerous
30 -story buildings now in commission
is enormous and some other method
of utilizing the upper floors will have
to be invented and introduced before
the skyscraper can be built any high-
er. The limits of the elevator, as un-
derstood at this time, have already
been reached.

-Thos. Murray, ex -M. P., defeated
Liberal candidate in the recent North
Renfrew by-election, says, that in
that constituency alone during the
last ten years between the candidates
for the House of Commons, there has
been expended over $200,000 to cor-
rupt the electorate. He is out for
clean elections. He says -"Give us a
patriotic national party for the Do-
minion. In my opinion the whole
machinery of government to -day, and
procedure of parliamentary elections
in Canada, is simply a mockery on
patriotism, religion and Christianity.
The question is -What is to be done ?
What can be, done? Will the people
of Canada further tolerate such work,
or will they unite as one man and as-
sert their manhood -yes, assert their
rights as free citizens? I would sug-
gest a revision of the constitution
with a view of more practical, eco-
nomical and honest government ; abo-
lition of the senate, or if it is to be in
existence, for my own part I do not
think it should, then let it be respon-
sible to the people."
-The Toronto Telegram says : "The
coereionists at Ottawa could not get
a verdict on the rnerits of their policy
in June, 1905, from the electors of
Loudon or any other English-speaking
constituency in Ontario. The coer-
cionist Government at Ottawa had
either to accept defeat or buy victory
in London. The evidence now being
dragged out before Col. Denison shows
which of these alternatives was chos-
en. Defeat in London meant the
abandonment of the whole coercionist
plot -it meant the destruction of the
conspiracy against Hauitain and Na-
tional schools. Coercion could not
survive an adverse verdict, and there-
fore had to purchase a. favorable ver-
dict."
-This is the way the Hamilton
Herald (Independent) views the mat-
ter: -"The Laurier Government has
been not only too strongly entrenched
in power, but too conscious of its
strength. It has sometimes shown.a
certain degree of contempt for public
opinion. In the disclosures made last
session there was evidence of a care-
lessness of administration -the natu.
ral result of long tenure of power. A
rebuff like that which the Govern-
ment received in North Renfrew is
likely to have a wholesome effect. It
is a danger signal, a warning to the
Government that continuance in office
depends on the will of an electorate
which must be convinced that con-
tinuance in office is deserved."

-The Montreal Star remarks : "The
case against Mr. Hyman does not
depend upon whether or not he "is
involved in the rascalities of the Lon-
don campaign" at all. He holds a seat
which was procured for him by prac-
tices which are making even this
politically hardened community blush;
and, as a man of honor and a member
of an honorable party, he ought to
resign it at once -precisely as a man
of honor would hasten to return stolen
goods which had reached him through
seemingly honest channels. He would
not wait to see whether they could
prove that he helped to steal them ;
neither would his friends or "organs"
fail to advise him to make haste to
get rid of "the unclean thing."

--Friday, Oct. 26th, was the fiftieth
anniversary of a most noteworthy
event, both in the history of Canada
and also in that of the two largest
cities now within the confines of the
Dominion, Montreal and Toronto. It
was on Oetober 26th, 1850, that the
Grand Trunk Railway veers opened
through from Montreal, through To-
ronto westward to Stratford. Through
eonannnnieation on the 1?. T. P. had
been established between Toronto and
Stratford on October 9th, 1856, there
only remaining very little to be done
towaree conneeting by rail the two
exetrepolitan cities east and west, re-
speetively, 'Montreal and Toronto. As
a matter of feet the first train through
from Montreal to Toronto ran on
Oetober 23, 1850, but it was merely Tut
experimental trip.
--Mr. Fiehling's Budget speech of
last session proves to have been a gonad
deal cut of the way. It wcaaa neatly at
the end of the fiscal year when he
il eke, but his estimate of the expendi-
Ntare for 1£05-0was $1,1500,300 too Lahr.

AN ALARMING FINANCIAL SITUATION.
(Weekly ,Sun.)
An Ottawa tlespe.tch to the Globe
informs us that the total expenditure
of the Dominion Government for the
year ending June 30th last will aggre-
gate about eighty-three and one-quar-
ter million doliars. Despite the enor-
mous increase in Customs and inland
revenue our outgo for the year was
three trillions in excess of the receipts.
The outgo for 1900 was four and one-
ludf millions beyond the expenditures
of 1005. There is an extravagant Gov-
ernment across the line, too, bet still
the expenditures of the national Gov-
ernment at Washington were - two
millions less for the three months
ending with September than for the
saute period lest year, At Washing-
ton the trend of expenditure is down-
wards, with us it is upwatds.
The most alarming feature of the
situation is, notwithstanding the fact
that money from taxation has poured
into Ottawa in a fiood, that the debt
continnes to grow. Alarm becomes
all the greater when a comparison is
made here again with the record of
the United States. Our national in-
debtedness alone is almost double the
amount per head represented by the
combined Federal, State, and munici-
pal indebtedness of the United States.
In 1904, to be exact, according to the
Canadian Year Book, our debt per
head was $65.12 ; in 1002, according to
a census bulletin issued from'Wash-
ington, the total of the national State
and municipal debt of the United
States was $35,49 per capita, The na-
tional part of the debt of the United
States was $11.77 per head, only e
little over one-sixth the national debt
per capita in Canada.
Surely it is time we had rnore men
at Ottawa, representing the people,
who know the value of a dollar by
earning it.
-In the November elections in the
United States, women will cast their
ballots in twenty-seven States and one
Territory. Wyoming was the first
State to grant Woman suffrage, and
they vote there et all elections, Colo-
rado has elected ten women to the
Lower State Legislature since 1893,
and three have occupied seats in the
Legislature at one time. Four years
ago, Colorado bad three women Iegis-
lators, tet county school superinten-
dents, 508 school directors (trustees)
one county clerk, one county treasur-
er, one assessor, one clerk of county
court, and one district court clerk (all
these were women.) In four States
women have full political rights; in
23 other States they vote on certain
questions only, In Australia, New
Zealand, Finland and the Isle of Man,
women stand on absolute equality
with men in the ballot and holding of
office, In Great Britain, Sweden,
Norway and Iceland, they vote in all
elections, except those for members of
parliament. In Canada, widows and
unmarried women may vote on muni-
cipal questions, provided they are pro-
perty otrnere.

---A few Liberal newspapers are
speaking out very plainly just now.
The Woodstock Sentinel -Review, one
of the best of them, says :-"The deep-
er the probe goes into the London
election business the more evidence of
corruption there is brought to light.
There is no use seeking to escape the
facts. They must eventually be faced
and dealt With. It mill not do to say

WORK.
Some men work for honor,
Some men work for fame ;
But they take the mouey
They must justly claim,
And are glad to get it,
Just the same.
Some men labor daily,
Urged by gainful lust,
Some because the doctors
Tell them that they must,
Some because they cannot
Buy on trust.
Some men work for others
Who are near and dear ;
Some men work for art's sake
So it would appear,
Some displaying courage,
Some in fear.
Some men labor nobly
For the public good,
Some because the Bible
Tell them that they should ;
But if no one had to
No one would.

THE "BIG STORI3"
Don't Use Greasy Liniments.
A. century ago they were popular.
To -day people want sometbing easy to
apply, certain in results, and above all
a clean liniment. When Nerviline is
applied aches and pains disappear as
the pores absorb its soothing healing
properties. Nerviline penetrates to
the core of the pain, eases instantly,
and leaves no oily bad smelling
memory behind. Good to take in,
capital to rub on, and five times more
powerful in destroying pain than any
oily liniment, Don't fail to get a
large 25c bottle.
