The per capita expenditure for Ontario is less than one-fourth that of the Dominion, and our net Provincial indebtedness is less than one-seventh per head that standing against Confederation. But. if our position is maintained Mr, Matheson must sit a little more tightly on the lid of the Ontario strong bon.}, * —About three hundred thousand bushels of oats which were shipped front points in Europe for seeding pur- poses in Manitoba and the North-west have arrived at Fort William. It was intended to stop the shipment there to be recleaned, in order to insure its being free from weeds, but it was found on inspection to be so clean and absolutely free from all kind of dirt or weeds that this was dispensed with. Grainmen say that it is the finest sam. ple they have ever seen. = It was grown principally in Scotland, Eng- land, and Belgiutri. ** —The census returns of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta, taken last year, are to hand. Between 1001 and 100¢ the population of Manitoba in- creased from 255,211 to 305,688 ; Sas- katchewan from 91,279 to 257,703, and Alberta from 73,022 to 185,412. These three provinces almost doubled their population in five years. In twenty years from now the. West will have more representation in the House of Commons than Quebec, and sturdy Western members will hold the bal- ance of power in Canada. It will per- haps be a 'good thing for Canada on the whole, if this should' be the case. 444.4144.411441144.444********** •••••••4444.11444....•••••• 'I Coal Coal i We are solo agelits for the celebrated Scranton Goal, wliloh has 110 equal, ,Also the beat grades of L th1ng,• launch and Do. medic cioal and Wood of kinds, always on hand, stdefiloe Phone, +• N 44 r! rti1, 55 i t ..

Medals and trophies will be given as prizes. —In closing the debate on the bud- get, in the Legislature, on Thursday last, Hon, Mr. McKay accused the Government of introducing the spoils system. Premier Whitney said, in reply, that he had a story to tell :— Up in North Grey (Mr. McKay's con- stituency) some time ago four ballots were improperly taken from the bal- lot box and were found in the posses- sion of a certain man, wi' h crosses put in on them. "That man," said Mr. Whitney "was Mr. McKnight, regis- trar and returning officer for North Grey, and I here and now apologize to the people of Ontario for not hav- ing had that man horsewhipped out of office and the public employ long ago." One of the evidences that Premier Whitney has endeavored to be fair is seen in the fact that in some cases both parties are dissatisfied. Take (trey county for instance. 'At the last rearrangement of seats by Liberals., the county was so arranged, that Leader McKay was returned. North Grey Conservatives declare that Hon. Mr. 111c1Cay's seat is the result of a Liberal gerrymander, and that it does not conform either to geographical or municipal lines, or to the census, which determine the general character of the redistribution. They naturally expected that the unfair arrangement would be rectified. But Mr. Whitney has declined to interfere, and thus dis- turb the opposition Leader, and per- haps cause his defeat. The result is, North Grey Conservatives are up in protest. (:Huron county seems to be another storm centre. At the last election, South Huron was strongly Conserva- tive, East Huron strongly Liberal, and the West riding so close, that the Liberal majority was only two, and hence that riding might be regarded as extremely "doubtful." By the pro- posed arrangement, the South would be Conservative, the North good fight- ing ground with chances in favor of the Conservative (though Mr. Proud - foot, the Liberal nominee, is said to claim that he could win it), and the Centre a Liberal hive. Regarding the Centre riding, it is saki that Goderich Conservatives strongly object to being placed in a riding where their votes, will be swal- lowed up, and we can scarcely blame them. —In dealing with the Dominion's in- debtedness the Finance Minister says that while there has been an increase in the total, there has been an actual reduction per head. Owing to the ad- dition made to population in the inter- val the per capita debt of Canada stood at $12.81 in 1907, or nearly $8 less than in 1800. The Weekly Sun however, points out that the per capi- ta indebtedness is still alarmingly high, amounting as it does to over four tittles that of the United States. Moreover, the Americans are rapidly reducing their indebtedness per head, the amount to -day being only about one-sixth what it we.s in 1870. 13e - sides our neighbors are aceoinplishing this with en expenditure for all par- poses of $7 per heart of their popula- tion, while one national expenditure is equal to $14 per head. ** —A, paper recently presented at a meeting of the i3reneh Biological So- ciety by Dt. L. 13, Xiobinoeiteh has caused a sensation. The author, who is a lady physician, mato the start- ling claim that she has discovered a method of restoring to life persons who have been killed by eleetrieity. tier Method. is ,to give the patient a series of rhythmic electrical impulses, thus re-establishing respiration and cardiac reaction and restoring sensi- bility. The carne treatment has been. successfully applied where the subject bad been suffering from a syncope produced by ehloroform. She propos• es to cotyle to New York and obtain permission to try her remedy on the next murderer electrocuted in prison, If she obtains permission end succeeds in restoring en executed murderer, the courts would be pu led about his standing. Ho might demand to be set free having submitted once to the • punishment tireserlbed, number, have been really doing Fifth class work. These will now be termed Giftli classes, and financial induce- ments to extend and improve their courses, will, it is hoped, cause them to multiply rapidly. The design is to secure to the rural parts and to the small urban centres better facilities for secondary education. With the object of supplying teach- ers, having the special qualification in elementary agriculture and horticul- ture and in workshop training needed in rural schools and in snna11 industrial centres, courses will be provided at the Ontario Agricultural College, sup- plementary to the Normal school training, Each course will be one of three months and the travelling ex- penses and board of the candidates will be paid. The amendments also give the Min- ister of Education power to establish Model schools, the intention being to assume control and financial support of such Model schools as are to be re- tained, these being situated in such parts of the province as require, for finanoial reasons, teachers with the new third class certificates, which wilt take the place of tbe present district certificates, but of a higher grade. The Model school examinations will, therefore, in future be conducted by the department, its are ' the Normal school examinations, and all certifi- cates of qualification will hereafter be issued by the minister. Another important amendment pro- vides for the payment of the new ad- ditional grant to urban schools (to be voted this. session) on the basis of the grade of the teacher's certificate and the length of his successful experience. The experience of the teacher will also be a factor in paying the grant to the rural schools. Personally, the editor of this paper does not approve of "hiving," but per- haps it cannot be avoided in some cases. To make a Liberal hive of Centre Huron (or any other constitu-' ency) is to discourage all spirit and life in the local Conservative associa- tions. They are apt to conclude, it is no use to fight, and so lay their armor by. On the other hand, the opposite party, seeing this, is apt to become arrogant and overbearing. This is perhaps only human. A good fight- ing chance in such ridings tends to keep alive the spirit in both political parties. Big Surplus, Yet Borrowing. A couple of weeks ago, the Toronto Globe came out with the following glaring headlines— GREATEST SURPLUS CANADA EVER SAW. Now, the truth begins to be seen, The Government is near the close of a financial year, and has no money. Hon. Mr. Fielding has iesited a call for funds, and so over fifteen million dol. lars was placed at his disposal. Or- dinary people will wonder how two weeks ago there was the "greatest .sur- plus Canada ever had," and yet within a few days the Government was "hard up." Here 19 a despatch to an inde- pendent daily paper, that "tells the tale. Ottawa, March 21—To-day has been devoted almost entirely to the voting of money. We are getting very close to the beginning of a new finan- cial year, and unless a supply bill steps through very soon, the Govern- ment will find itself with empty poc- kets, for appropriations lapse at the end of a fiscal year. Indeed, there are signs besides that the heel of the year finds the Government hard up, and in need of a bit of relief hese and there. Here is another point worthy of notice :-'--if this "biggest surplus that Canada ever saw" is really a fact, is it not strange that Finance Minister Fielding should have had to borrow so much recently, and still be "hard up." Here is a at of tnoney he has borrow- ed within the past few months :— In August last Mr. Fielding .bor- r;owed $2,500,000 for It year at four and a half per cent. Tn Deeereber last lie borrowed $7,500,000 for five years at four per cent, la January he borrowed $5,000,000 for a year at four and a half per cent. Last month he borrowed $2,000,000 in x3'i'anee for a year at four per cent. Ile has completed, negotiatiotle for 1t $15,000,000 loon for forty'two years at three and It half per cent. During part of last year Mr. Field. Ing was paying ,is high es site per cent to the flank of Kngland on oyer drafts amounting to $1,500,000, Meanwhile the Canadian depositors in the savings bank, from tvlaon the ' ov'ernu ettt lute $0'J,000,000 borrowed, are reeelving only three per Dent.
