But the SUIT THAT SUITS is the one made by MAN..WELT. & HILL., There is also a difference in Tailor-made Suits and TAILQR,AIA.DE SUITS, Every sunt on the market is in a sense tailor-made, but the phrase is sometimes mis- leading. The only truly tailor-made suit is the one made by the individual, made by band and fashioned into shape, instead of being rushed through what we eel a "sweat- shop," from one machine to another, without any real tailoring being done on it ; and the material inside is not intended to keep the garment in shape any longer than to sell it. We have the Iines and styles of material that will interest anyone who is wanting an up-to-date Suit. We always keep in touch with the latest New York styles, although we do not advocate extremes in style, but leave that to the customer. We are here to make YOUR SUIT TO SUIT. OUR MEN'S FURNISHINGS DEPT. Is filled with good things for Men and Boys. We wish just to mention a few lines, such as—HATS, SHIRTS, TIES, GLOVES, UNDERWEAR. We have the ELLIS SPRING NEEDLE RIBBED UNDERWEAR. This underwear is different from all others, because the spring needle ribbed machines on which the Ellis fabric is made are the only ones used in Canada. We handle this make. l�axwe__ 41111 Tailors and Men's Furnishings ...1 Spring at Last. Our Stock of Gardening Tools, Hedge and Bush Pruners, Lawn Mowers, Rakes, &e., is complete.

MeLEAN ig1 m Theo, Hall Proprietor. Ebitoriai —Nothing short of a full-grown earthquake could jolt a political graf- ter loose from his job. r 41. —The Standard Oil Co. has been found guilty on 1,463 counts of the in- dictment for rebating, and becotnes liable to a fine of $20,240,000 under the Ekins law, But the fine has not been collected yet. Even so large a fine can easily be made up by adding a few cents to the price of oil. • —That keen observer of events, Prof. Goldwin Smith, spoke truly, when he said :--"Front causes with which the Government has no more to do than it has with the weather, the country has prospered, the people have been thinking only of their crops and their bankbooks, the public con- science has slept, and • we have been sliding dozen that moral slope the re - ascent of which is proverbially so hard." This is the dark day on the horizon, and leads the thinking elector to regret that national prosperity and political morality do not always ac- company each other, *** —Hon. Mr. Fielding announced to the Commons that Mr. Hyman bad resigned again. It seems too bad to add to Mr. Hyman's troubles by hav- ing him resign so often. Some men try to get in and fail ; others, who have been in and want to stay, are hustled out ; but Mr. Hyman's trouble seems to be the other way—he appar- ently wants to get out, but can't. It is now well known by what means the poor man got in, but up to April 20 no method he has devised has succeeded in getting bim out. It must be very annoying to have a Cabinet minister's salary of $7,000 shoved on to a fellow against his will, and to be forced .to spend so long in California's inhos- pitable climate. *** —How fortunate that Canadians enjoy liberty and personal rights. It is far different in despotic Russia. Since August last, 1,080 men and wo- men have been hanged or shot in Russia, under sentence of the military courts, mostly within 48 hours of ar- rest. This fact has been gathered from official figures. During the same period 1,242 wearers of the Czar's coat, of high and low degree, have died at the hands of assassins. The manner of executing prisoners has been to proceed with a band of them at mid- night, under military escort, to an iso- lated station, where the victims one by one were hanged to trees. Wait- ing their turn they must witness the death agonies of their comrades. * * --There seems to be scarcely any limit to the work undertaken in this 20th century. Battleships larger than ever; flying machines reaching the point of successful flight ; wireless telegraph and wireless telephones. One of the latest projected buildings in New York is a building 700 feet high with forty-one stories. Thirteen elevators will be continually at work conveying business men to the hun- dreds of offices on its various floors. Rising 625 feet above the curb, the wind pressure will be enormous ; so the structure has to be literally tied to its foundations by an ingenious ar- rangement of steel rods three and a half inches in diameter, going down nearly fifty feet into the vast concrete slabs, which in turn rest on solid bed- rock, ninety feet below the surface, ** --Prof. Ravenstein, of the Royal Geographical Society, has estimated that the fertile ]ands of the globe amount to twenty-eight million square miles, the steppes to fourteen millions, and the deserts to one million, Fixing two hundred and seven persons to the square mile for fertile lands, ten for steppes, and one for deserts as the greatest population that the earth could properly nourish, the professor arrives at the conclusion that when the number of inhabitants reaches about six thousand million, the earth will be peopled to its full capaeity. A`t present it contains somewhat more than one-quarter of that number. If the rate of increase shown by the la- test census statistics should be uni- formly maintained, Professor Raven - stein shows that the globe would be fully peopled about the year 2072. * —It seems as if it was the inevitable tendency for expenditure to increase. This is true in family, business and government matters. In 1003 the provincial ercpenditure was less than five millions ; now it has increased to over seven nlilliong. Additional funds were required for education, anct the opening of New Ontario has neeessi- tated enlarged appropriations for roads, civil government, administra- tion of justice, etc. Fortunately, as in the Dominion, so the Province brig had a buoyant revenue, We hope this tact will not make our Provincial Government reckless, They should avoid the mistakes of the Dominion Government, that has yearly increased the expenditure front 87 millions in 1808 to nearly 118 millions in 1007. XGeep the brakes on, Mr. Whitney, but tontine to give us efficient ttdmi.nis. tr&tion, —Tile house of Commons, by a vote of 87 to 44, defeated the notion offered by Mr. It. L. Borden to secure greater purity in elections, The resolution de- plored the existence of corrupt and fraudulent practices, as shown in the revelations front Loudon and other electoral districts throughout Canada. It asked for an amendment of the electoral laws, for the more effective suppression and punishment of bri- bery, to prevent fraudulent marking, counting and substituting or switch- ing of ballots, and also to prevent the accumulation of huge campaign funds and to prohibit contributions thereto by corporations, contractors and pro- moters. Mr, Borden supported his motion in an exhaustive address, in which he dealt with the practices in question as revealed in the election conrts and before commissions of in- quiry. It is a formidable list of crimi- nality, which should call the blush of shame to all implicated. Yet by a vote of 87 to 41 (with 80 members ab- sent) it is declared that there was nothing wrong 1 Whither are we drifting, morally, in the political phase of our national Iife? —The question of Provincial rights has again come to the fore with the action of the Dominion Government confiscating land in the Petawawa district for mi)itary camp purposes. The land in question is in northern Ontario. It has been selected by the department of militia as the site of a military camp. In all, the area of the proposed camp is 78,000 acres, 55,000 being the property of this Province, and the remainder owned by settlers. The negotiations between the provin- cial authorities and the minister of militia have extended over two or three years. The Provincial Govern- ment offered to lease the land to the Dominion authorities for 90 years at a nominal rental; but the situation is complicated by the fact that many licenses have been issued for timber cutting in the district. These licenses are valuable, and the province is en- titled to its dues on the timber cut, It has been estimated by the provin- cial experts that stumpage value of the timber is about $100,000, and that the province is entitled to at least $25,000 from the cut, Premier Whit- ney has announced emphatically that he will oppose the high-handed pro- ceedings of the Dominion Govern- ment, and, if necessary, carry the case to the Privy Council. MORE RAILWAY SUBSIDIES. (Weekly Sun) The main estimates of the Dominion Government for the year beginning with the first of this month amounted to nearly $106,000,000. By the time the supplementaries for the year are added the total will doubtless reach at least $110,000,000. But this is not all. In addition the Minister of Finance has introduced re- solutions providing for the granting of subsidies to twenty-three lines of railway, with an aggregate length of 1,057 miles. The total amount requir- ed to meet these subsidies will be close on $7,000,000. Eight of the lines to be subsidized are in the Maritime Pro- vinces --Provinces which have been settled to a greater or less extent for over two hundred years. One of the Ontario lines is a thirty-five mile sec- tion of the Tilsonburg, Pacific, and Lake Erie Railway, running either from Woodstock to Berlin, or from Ingersoll to Stratford—a line that in either case will pass through one of the best general farming districts of Ontario. Among the subsidies going to Quebec lines are votes for three lit- tle branches from three to seven and one-half utiles in length—small sec- tions eations of road which cannot by any stretch of the imagination be classed as national undertakings. It is quite clear there is no Macken- zie to stand guard, with gun in hand, over the treasury 10 -day. The door has been blown off the safe, and every man with a pulI is helping himself at will. •r - Fort William, April 17.—The eleva- tors are filled to the roofs with wheat and the Canadian Pacific yards are al- so rapidly filling. The British America House at Port. Arthur has re- fused to take any more cars from the Canadian Pacific, and the Empire is also in about the same position, —Mrs. M. J. Kendall, one of the most prominent and influential ladies in the charitable and educational or- ganizations of Nashua, N. H., has re- cently been appointed a deputy sheriff of Hillsboro County for the purpose of giving her more power to enforce the laws for the prevention of cruelty to anitnals. Treherne, Man., April Ia.—Traffic between here and Holland is held up by the Worst snow blockade on the line this winter. No passenger trains have been over the line since Satur- day, There is no kerosene fn town, and the light plant is about to shut down for Iack of coal, A large num- ber of visitors are snowbound.
