We've just opened out our New Goons for Spring

shown here, is putting it pretty strong. But really, the
Battings are beautiful, both in design and material. The
prevailing oolkrs are elephant grays and browns, in stripes
and plaids. Of courser blacks and blues are always cor-
rect, and we have a large range of these goods.

—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.

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.

—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.
