This does not look as if race suicide was very prevalent among New Yorkers. HAVE YOU SEEN THE Russwin Food Cutters ? •• four THE CATTLE MARKET. (The Weekly Sun.) The situation in regard to cattle is undoubtedly ane of the most uncer- tain and unsatisfactory in the whole range of market conditions. To begin with, there were few farmers in On- tario who were not caught short of feed last spring. The natural effect of this will be to induce the average man to lean a little towards the other ex- treme in the coining winter—in other words, to reduce his herd below rea- sonable limits. Then we have, in the facts set forth in this and previous issues of The Sun, evidence of which makes it clear that feed supplies for the coming season of stall feeding will be below the normal. In some sec- tions—in Leeds, Lanark, the Bay of Quints District, North Bruce, and Manitoulin—the situation is acute. How acute it is may be seen from the reports of good milch cows going at ten and twelve dollars, and feeding bullocks at eighteen. All this points to the marketing of a lot of unfinished cattle before snow Ries, with the de- pressing effect on market conditions which such a movement always has. It would seem to indicate with equal clearness a limited supply of really well finished beeves for the Christmas and Easter markets and next spring's export trade. With the prices likely to th st a dr --There are vacancies in the House of Commons. They are St. John and County, where the vacancy was caused by the death of Dr. A. A. Stockton ; Northumberland, caused by the death of Edward Cochrane ; Wellington, caused by the death of Thomas Martin, and London, vacated by the resignation of Hon. Charles S. Hyman. It, is rumored that the bye - elections are all to be held on the same day, perhaps sometime in Sep- tember. • —Mr. Bourassa is continuing his meetings along independent political lines in the province of Quebec, but as yet has not obtained any great follow- ing. In his attacks upon corruption, graft, immorality and extravagance in Government circles at Ottawa and Quebec, Mr. Bourassa is doing a good public service. Whatever differences there may be between him and the Conservatives, the opposition party must have some respect for him on account of the enemies he has made. Mr. Bourassa remains and will remain a Liberal, but the dominant Liberal- ism of to -day has greatly departed from the standard to which he still adheres. * —"Bystander" inthe Weekly Sun sees danger in the rapid influx of Japanese and Chinese into Canada and the United States, and adds— "The influx of Japanese into Canada is now stated to be at the rate of eight hundred a month. Since January last over four thousand had arrived in British Columbia, two hundred and thirty-three of them in one week, while two thousand more were en route. During July one hundred and thirty-three Chinese paid the poll tax of $500 on entering. Of eight hun- dred and fifty-eight Japanese arriving at Victoria, seven hundred and eighty- one were males and only seventy- seven were females. It is needless to say what moral dangers such a dis- parity of sexes, which is still greater in the case of the Chinese, involves. Will Government ever pay attention to this matter? * —There are in the State of Georgia one million, one hundred and eighty thousand white people, and one mil- lion, thirty-four thousand blacks. This is certainly not a desirable con- dition of affairs, and the social phase of the question presents dangers, which fortunately, we in Canada do not meet with. The Legislature of the State recently passed an Act which practically disfranchises the negroes. This may seem like an arbi- trary action, but possibly under the circumstances, it may bo a necessity. In a State like Georgia, to have the negro vote about equal the white may be fraught with danger. At the same time, there is a prejudice against the black, that may form a factor in the struggle. Prejudice is always bad, but when it is that of race against race, it is bitter, unyielding and dan- gerous. • —The Marine andFisheries Depart- ment is straggling with its book-keep- ing. It has a good many high priced book-keepers and clerks but they seem to have got things into a bad jumble. About a year ago, the Minister engag- ed Mr. Kenneth Falconer, a profes- sional accountant, to supervise the work of putting the books in shape. He was paid $40 a day for this service, and by April of this year had received $3,671 though he had not nearly finished his work. The Department sent to New York for two other ex- perts paying them $75 a day. Still more expert work was required, and Mr. W. F. Russell was paid $50 a day for 40i days, G. E. Fawcett $50 a day for eight days, two other gentle- men $30 a day each for 70 days work, still two others at $25 a day, one at $20 a day and two at the rate of $15 a day each. The total bills incurred in this book-keeping school down to April of this year was $23,000, and the Minister at that time stated that the whole work would cost $30,000 to $35,- 000. The Marine department is one out of a large number, and the Gov- ernment was not able to explain last session whether the others were in any better shape.
