-The Montreal Witness, Liberal,
has been revising Sir Wilfrid Laurier's
statement, made when the scheme
was proposed, to the effect that the
section of the Grand Trunk Pacific
railway to be built by the government
would be built at a cost to the people
of Canada not exceeding $13,000,000;
and the Witness has come to the pain-
ful conclusion that the actual cost of
construction of this section will not be
less than $125,000,000.
-New York's mortality statistics
show an average of 240 murders per
annum. Only sixty-five persons are
arrested for these crimes, or a fraction
more than one arrest for four mur-
ders. Thirty-three persons are brought
to trial, which is about one-half the
number arrested, or one for every
eight murders. Of the thirty-three a
little more than half -twenty --are
convicted, This makes one conviction
for every twelve murders,

-Col. Lamb, who has charge of the
Salvation Army Immigration work,
states that the Army will do its best
to secure ten ships for Army immi-
grants alone, and expects that next
year 25,000 people will be brought
over. The policy to be pursued will
be to bring the men `over as early as
possible, and bring the wives and chil-
dren after a place has been prepared
for them. Ten agents will go to Eng-
land during the next few weeks, and
five will leave immediately to com-
mence the work of organization.

-Regarding the Conservative vic-
tory in Brockville, the Globe says
"The expected has happened," but
does not say who expected the victory.
If both sides expected it, then there
was no disappointment. We rather
thought from the Globe editorial that
there was a very great disappointment
in some quarters. The victorious can-
didate gives the following explana-
tion :-"I won out because I fought
my own battle, unassisted, in an abso-
lutely clean election on the record of
the Whitney administration. The
people want honest government."
***
- Women all over the world are be-
ginning to look upon 1007 as a red let-
ter year for their sex. Their first
notable step ahead this year was the
granting of Parliamentary suffrage to
the women of Norway. Then Swedish
women were made eligible for muni-
cipal office ; next came the granting to
the women of Denmark of the right to
vote for and serve as members of
boards of public 'charities, and now
the British Parliament bas just passed
the bill making women eligible as
town and county councillors and al-
dermen. It is expected that, ere long,
the British Government will have to
yield to the persistent demands of the
Suffragettes, and grant there the full
franchise.

- According to statistics, the sea
trade of the world incurs an average
total loss every year of 2,172 vessels
and 12,000 lives, and the estimated
value of lost vessels and cargoes is
nearly $100,000,000. One of the five
year charts gives the localities Where
056 vessels were wrecked on the At -
hurtle coast of North America, with
the position of 332 identified vessels
abandoned at sea, besides 625 derelicts
that could not be identified, making a
total of 057 derelicts in five years, or
an average of sixteen to each month.
The average time that the derelict
remains afloat is about thirty days,
frotn which it is evident that at least
sixteen derelicts are constantly afloat
in the North Atlantic,

-Rev. Canon Welsh of Toronto
took occasion recently, in the sermon
Which he preached to the troops of the
Toronto garrison and the Ancient and
Honorable Company of Massachusetts
in Massey Hall, to sound a note of
warning against the evils of intern
peranee. He said the increase of in•
temperance was an alarming feature
of Canadian life as shown by the fact
that arrests for drunkenness in Toron•
to alone have doubled hi six years.
Ile characterized a man addicted to
intemperance as one unfit for respect.

Welton was touched upon, and on
thele fell the blame to a great extent.
"'.The women of society can atop in-
temperance at social functions if they
choose," mkt the Canon.
Truly this is an age of rapid pro-
gress, Tho monster steamship Lusi-
tania, capable of carrying the whole
population of Winghain at one voy-

age than another step in advance is
proposed. Plans are now being pre-
pared for the building of a ship fifteen
feet longer than the Lusitania, and

000 tons, In addition to all the ordin-

forts, there will be on this new queen
of the ocean a complete equipment in
Turkish baths, a tennis'conrt, a thea-
tre, and the passengers will be sup-
plied with a daily summary of the
world's, news received by wireless tele-
graphy as the mammoth floating
palace passes from one continent to
another,
* *
--Wireless telegraphy is one of the
wonders of this wonderful age of pre.
grecs, Had our citizens twenty years
ago been told that messages could bo
sent and received from land to vessels
hundreds of miles out on the ocean,
they would have refused to believe it.
Mr, Marconi announces that within a
few days he will be prepared to flash
messages across the Atlantic at one-
half of the present cable rates, and
then the inventor of wireless telegra-
phy will turn his attention to trans-
mitting aerial messages from Cape
Breton to the station he proposes
erecting in Vancouver, from which the
next step will be sending messages di-
rect front Ireland to the Pacific Slope.
That this is possible Mr. Marconi is
confident, and he is just as confident
that eventually he will be able to en-
circle the globe,

-Mr. Dick, of Vancouver, is suing
for two cents, and it happened thusly:
When Mr. Dick paid the amount of
his taxes at the wicket, the cents
column ended in the figure 3, and out
of curiosity to see what would happen,
having paid an even amount, he asked
for two cents change, to which he was
entitled. The clerk at the wicket told
him that five cents was the lowest
legal tender in Canada and there was
no change coming. Mr. Dick began
to count, and found that by collecting
"avers" of 3 cents each from 500 tax-
payers, the clerk would get $15 more
than his cash book would have a right
to show at the end of the day. To
show a discrepancy an the city's book
between the proper amount of taxes
collected and the money actually re-
ceived would upset the auditing de-
partment dreadfully. The question
then arises what happens to the
"overs" ?
*
-Socialism has increased in Eng-
land to such an extent, that measures
are being taken to prevent its farther
spread. On a recent Sunday there
were no less than 1,500 Socialist meet-
ings held throughout England. That
the laboring classes have grievances is
true. That there is (and probably al-
ways will be) a great disparity be-
tween the conditions of the poor and
the rich is also true. At the same
time Socialism is not the great panacea
for the ills that labor has to contend
with. With legitimate agitation for
the removal of grievances and better-
ment of conditions, few will find fault.
But Socialism is destructive, and dos-
truction as a rule is not an aid to pro-
gress. With this rapid increase of
Socialism, it is not to be wondered at
that there should be a counter move-
ment. Preparation for organized re-
sistance has been undertaken by the
British Constitution association, which
is non-partisan in its aims. A na-
tional appeal has been issued by its
president, Lord Balfour of Burleigh.

-At the approaching session of the
Ontario Legislature, there Will no
doubt be a Redistribution Act, provid-
ing for a rearrangement of the con-
stituencies. The Whitney Govern-
ment is strong, and a "gerrymander"
is not needed to bolster it up or un-
fairly keep it in power. So far the ad-
ministration has done well and acted
fairly, and as a result has impressed
the electors favorably. We hope that
the redistribution will also be fair ; we
expect it will be. The old way of car-
ving out constituencies of every line-
ginable shape and variety to suit
party exigencies should be relegated
to the past. We believe Premier
Whitney is an honest man, and we ex-
pect to see an honest and fair distribu-
tion. Of course no change can be
made without stepping on somebody's
corns; but an absolutely fair and hon-
est redistribution would very soon re-
commend itself to the whole people.
The last redistribution, during the
Premiership of Hon. O. Mowat, was
very unfair ; in Warty respects glar-
ingly so. We expect a very different
Act this time.

---The Toronto Star is a bright pa-
per. Although it is Liberal, it under-
takes to give the Laurier Government
some good advice, which it 'would do
Well to heed, The Star says :-.I5 is
expected that the revenue of Canada
this year will reach the high figure of
one hundred million dollars, This is
more than the Government needs, or
ought to need, It is true that the in-
crease hi revenue is not due to increase
in taxation, but is the result of the ap-
plication of a lower rate of taxation to
a greater volume of imports. But
that is no reason why the Govern.
meat should continue to Collect more
money than is required`, When a
Government collects a hundred million
dollars, it la altogether likely to spend
a hundred million dollars; if it is in
any doubt as to how to get lrld of the
money, it will reosive plenty of advice
directed to that end. In good titres
such Ideas an economy and low taxa.
Hots are not fashionable, and are men
held to be the marks of a timid, un-
progressive, and unenterprising dispo•
sition. When hard times come every-
body will be talking economy, but it
will be found that it is much easier to
scale expenditures up than to scale
them down again, Na bolter use can
be made of an overflowing treasury
than to reduce debt and taxation, and
to enforce economy by keeping the
revenue down,

SIMPLE HOME RECIPE.
Get from any prescription pharma-
cist the following :
Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half
ounce; Compound Kargon, one ounce;
Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three
ounces,
Shake well in a bottle and take a
teaspoonful dose after each meal and
at bedtime.
The above is considered by an emi-
nent authority, who writes in a New
York daily paper, as the finest pre-
scription ever written to relieve Back-
ache, Kidney Trouble, Weak Bladder
and all forms of Urinary difficulties.
This mixture acts promptly on the
eliminative tissues of the Kidneys, en-
abling them to filter and strain the
uric acid and other waste matter from
the blood which causes Rheumatism,
Some persons who suffer with the
afflictions may not feel inclined to
place much confidence in this simple
mixture, yet those who have tried it
say the results are simply surprising,
the relief being effected without the
slightest injury to the stomach or
other organs.
Mix sorne and give it a trial. It cer-
tainly conies highly recommended. It
is the prescription of an eminent au-
thority, whose entire reputation, it is
said, was established by it,
A druggist here at home, when
asked, stated that he could either sup-
ply the ingredients or mix the pre-
scription for our readers, also recom-
mend it as harmless.
