. -A reliable writer in the Chicago
Record -Herald states that in New
York State alone there are 12,000
abandoned farms, comprising over
half a million acres, and the rural
population of. the State has decreased
100,000 in the last 20 years.

-The "All -Red" line, which threat-
ened to load the Canadian tax -payer
with an additional burden of one mil-
lion dollars per year for the sole pur-
pose of inciting a little artificial senti-
ment in the breasts of Canadians, has
(fortunately for this country) been
dropped from the political program,
and henceforth it will take its place in
history as one of the bubbles which
was puffed into existence, and explod-
ed, happily, without, dangerous effect.
-(Bruce Times.

-The Dominion of Canada now has
22,452 miles of railway, or a mile for
every 289 people. Even in Great Bri-
tain, the figures are 1821 persons to
every mile, and in the United States
381 persons to the mile. Ontario leads
the provinces, with 7,367 miles of rail-.
way, compared with 8,515 in Quebec,
the next highest. Three thousand
miles more are under construction in
the Dominion. The immense sum of
$588,563,591 is invested in Canadian
railways. Compared with the popu-
lation this is a record for Canada.
-Manitoba now owns her Telephone
system, the province having purchased
the business of the Bell Telephone Co,
for $3,400,000. For a young province,
Manitoba has set a pace for the older
provinces, and when the Government
getti the matter well in hand, there
should be a reduction of charges and
rates. There should be no valid rea-
son why such public utilities as the
Telephone, Express, etc„ should not
be as successfully managed by a Gov-
ernment, as the Postoffice business of
the country. The success or failure of
Manitoba's efforts along this line will
be watched with interest,

-The 400th anniversary Of the
founding of the eity of Quebec by
Samuel de Champlain will be celebrat-
ed in Quebec next August. The cele-
bration is expected to be a memorable
and unique one in every respect, and
the most gigantic festivity ever wit-
nessed In Canada, His /loyal High.
Hess the Prince of Wales will psobab-
ly visit Canada to assist at the cele-
bration, as well as imperial and
colonial ministers, There will also be
fleets front England, France and the
united Sts e
t s, which wilt afford op-
portunity of great naval and military
festivities. The occasion will be ono
of historic interest,
-`1'he Weekly Sun points out that
the income rooeived by the Dominion
Government in the form of Customs
revenue is just os surely a tax on the
i;ldivialual as is that collected by the
municipal tux -collector, The average
rate per head of township taxation is.
less than $1 per head, In the 9 months
ending with Marcia last, the Dominion
Government collected thirty-nine and
three-quarter million dollars in Cus-
toms taxation, and eleven and three-
quarter millions in excise taxes, This
was at the rate of over $8.50 'per
capita for the nine months, Domin-
ion taxation for a full year is, there-
fore, more than double that imposed
by the municipalities.

-Tenders have been called for by
the Grand Trunk Paelfie Railway for
the construction of one hundred miles
in British Columbia, from Prince Ru-
pert eastward through the coast
range, Experts declare that the cost
of a great part of this section will be
at least -$100,000 per mile, and that
some miles will even exceed this
figure, ds there will be a largo amount
of rock -cutting, tunnel and side -Lill
work. The management has still un-
der consideration tenders received for
building of the line westward from
Edmonton to the foothills of the
Rockies, and it is probable a contract
for a portion of the work will be set-
tled very shortly. It is now thought
the whole line from Red River to
Saskatchewan, over eight hundred
miles, will be completed and ready for
traffic between Winnipeg and Edmon-
ton by next fall. Spring will also see
work started on the extensive shops
to be erected by the Grand Trunk
Pacific at Winnipeg, and within two
years the new Transcontinental ex-
pects to employ between fifteen hun-
dred and two thousand mechanics and
laborers at the Winnipeg shops.

-A recent writer in an American
Journal points out (what is a known
fact) that wealth flows to the cities,
and mentions New York as an in-
stance. In the cities, lives the million-
ait es ; there too are the vast accumula.
tions of capital ; there also are the
large banking corporations; in the
cities'wholesale firms with immense
capital do business. It cannot be
otherwise, than that the cities should
be the centres of wealth. Perhaps
this has something to do with the con-
stant drift of population to the cities.
In the hope that some share, be it ever
so small, come his way, the foreigner
lands in the city, and the ran boy
from the country also hies himself to
the city in hope of prosperity and ad-
vancement and yet, in the city, as
perhaps no where else, poverty and
actual want have their constant dwel-
ling -place. Perhaps it is well that to
some extent wealth drifts to the
cities, As a rule, a nation's prosperi-
ty and stability may be gudged by the
members, size, business and wealth of
its cities. It is said that during the
recent panic in the States, New York
capital assisted largely in restoring
confidence in the country. In five
weeks of that period of unrest, New
York alone sent into the, small towns
of the country eighty-three million
dollars or nearly seven times as much
as in the same period of the previous
year. As one writer observes, "A
great financial centre is as necessary
as a centre of general government.
Both are what the people make them
or permit them to become."

-This year will be full of excite-
ment for the voters of the adjoining
republic, because of its being the year
of Presidential campaign. Those who
have never lived across the line,
scarcely can realize to what extent
a Presidential election disturbs the
public mind and disarranges business;
in fact, it becomes the absorbing
topic, and to a greater or less degree
soars above every other interest. Not
until the election is over and the
nation has chosen its President, do
matters social, political and financial
resume their normal condition. In
the coming campaign, the candidates
are not as yet clearly before the
people. For the Democrats, there ap-
pears to be no possible representative,
except Wm. Jennings Bryan, and at
present (to us here in Canada at ledst )
there does not appear to be any
chance of his election, The Republi-
can party is in the ascendancy, and as
President Rosseveldt has made him-
self popular, the party he represents
is not likely to go down to do defeat
just yet. Rosseveldt will not (so he
has stated) be again a candidate.
Only two other names have been
mentioned seriously, viz. Secretary
Taft, and Governor Hughes of New
York State. The excitement and up-
roar with their effect upon business
interests, will not begin until States
hold their great conventions. To the
American, however, the Presidential
catnpaign will be an absorbing topic
for many months.
