R —The largest cheque ever received by the Ontario government for succes- sion dues, and perhaps the largest, ever received by the provincial treasury, except from other government sources, carne into the possession of Hon.

Notwithstand- ing this promise, on the 28th of June last, the Dominion Government sold nearly three hundred and eighty-one thousand acres of Iand in southern Alberta to the Robins Co. The price was $3 an acre, but this price is sub- ject to a reduction of $2 if a. quarter of the land is placed under irrigation. .a. —The total number of members in Canadian Fraternal Societies on De- cember 31, 1905, entitled to sick and funeral benefits was 78,0775.

What an example is being given aur growing youth, the boys who will be called on to replace the men of to -day in handling the helm of the great ship of State and steering it through troubled waters to a port of safety. To what end will the lessons tend which are being given them day after day? Are they not bo*and to absorb some of the evil at least, and, if so, can we hope for a purer life with a higher ideal from 11 them than we have from their fathers? I, It Honor is to be a thing thrown to the winds in exchange for power, poli. tion or wealth, then we say "fled hely our country." • —Sonia evidence .tending to show why school books have cost so much in Ontario was presented before the Text Book Commissiont 1 tecently. Ar• 3' —A k new system of communication has recently been installed on the line of the Canadian Pacific Railway Com- pany. The system is called a telegra- phone, and by its means itis possible to telephone and telegraph over a single wire at the sante titne without interference, Through the courtesy of the company controlling the sys- tem, the following facts have been furnished to tate department :—The telegraphone instruments are for the use of railroads, and connection is made with the ordinary telegraph wire used by the iailway company for directing trains. It is possible to talk for a distance of from 60 to 75 miles through sin telegraph instrurnents on the regular despatcher's wire. If the wire is not so heavily Ioaded it is pos- sible to talk for any distance up to 200 miles. A set of instruments may be carried in the baggage car of the train and by its use the train crew can talk to the despatcher from any point of the line. The time required to make connection is one minute. The tele- graphone is connected to the tele- graph wire by means of an extension pole with a clamp on the end which hooks over the wire without damaging it. The method may be learned in one demonstration. * 4 --Prof. Goldwin Smith, over the signature of Bystander, says in the Weekly Sun :—The most cool-headed and competent observers telt us that corruption reigns at Ottawa. The edi- tor of the Government organ there leaves the place in disgust at the shameless dishonesty which prevails. "The callousness and carelessness," be says, "of the public men of to -day, in- duced by a seeming belief in the ad- miration of the people for smart trick- ery and corruption, is offensive to any icon who hopes to find statesmanlike ability, common honesty, and straight- forward dealing in the chief council - house of the country." He contrasts the present deadness of the public conscience with the horror shown at the Pacific Railway scandal. Since that time opportunities for graft, es- pecially in connection with railway companies, have greatly increased; while in both parties alike any sort of distinctive principle such as might give moral life to a party organization has faded away. In what other legis- lative assembly could be found an es hibition of corrupt influence so general and so shameless as that which we were called upon to witness in the las session of our Canadian Parliament. What greater misfortune can befall community than total loss of puhli respect for its national council and i Government ? lf BEGIN AT THE TOP TO -DAY. (Toronto Star, Liberal.) The men who can do most to stop fraud and corruption are the parts leaders, and especially the leaders of the party in power. The best toursa that the members of the Dominior. Government can take at the present moment is to admit this responsibilit fully and frankly, and act upon it. The Government of the day is abso lately responsible for the character of the election officers, the returning offi ter, and the deputies. It can insist or these being men of good character, just as it insists on the honesty o1 clerks hi the post -office. It can insist on the returning officer maintaining his independence, and refusing to sub mit to the dictation of politicians an patronage committees. It is withit the power of the government to elimi nate fraud and • tampering with tht ballots with almost absolute certainty The Government can put a stop tc public corruption, that is, to the offer of public works in return for votes, It is not enough for a Minister to sad that he is not personally making these appeals. He can repudiate there, not generally, but specifically, to -day is North Bruce. He can declare as often as the appeals are made, that the Gov ernment -will treat North Bruce with impartial justiee, no matter nhether it may support or oppose the Govern went. He can declare that the Gov eminent respects the independence of the electors of North Bruce, and will not seek to destroy it by threats or b bribes. He can declare that the Minis ters are servants and trustees of the people, and have no right to use the trust funds for purpose* of bribery He can repudiate all those who see t nold W.
