—Toronto Saturday Night has this
to say ;—"The redistribution bill is
before the public, and notwithstand-
ing the complaints made by the Lib-
erals, the general view will be that
the redistribution was conceived in a
spirit of unusual fairness, No doubt
the bill fails to equalize conditions in
some districts where they stand in
need of adjustment, but such changes
as have been made are made with
some respect for the principles of fair
play. Those who criticize the bill
mast look far and wide for an
example of anything better in the
same line."
—Last week in the Commons, Bon,
Geo, P. Graham, minister of railways,
gave a summary of conditions relating
to the National Transcontinental Rail-
way. From Moncton to the Rocky
Mountains the present cost of the
trunk line is over $85,000,000, made up
as follows ;
Under contract $14,880.393
Not under ogntract. , ... , ,

•
—The net Federal debt of Canada is
about :02 per head, or $210 per every
family of five, That of the United
States is $11.30. Our per capita ex-
penditure at Ottawa is considerably in
excess of that at Washington, though
for various reasons it is difficult to
make a precise comparison ; our Pro-
vincial debts are greater by far than
their State debts, and our municipal
debts than their municipal debts ; in
fact we have been going at such a pace
for, some time back, inflated outlays at
Ottawa moving the Provincial and
Municipal administrations to greater
and greater extravagance, that we are
certain to feel the pinch now that we
have entered on a period of depres-
sion.

These figures are estimated upon
which contracts have been or will be
let. In the West, the Grand Trunk
1'aciflc has 1,011 miles under contract,
of which 415 miles aro returned as
completed. The Grand Trunk Pacific
authorities have completed a prelimin-
ary survey of the mountain section to
ascertain what grades can be secured,
and are revising the results with a
view to the final location. It will be
noticed that the estimated cost of
1,227 miles under contract on the east-
ern division is $44,000,000, over $30,-
000 per mile. •
—Of the 27 banks reporting business
in Canada 40 years ago, 11 have disap-
peared, some going out of business,
and some being merged with other
institutions, or having changed their
names. The total assets of these 27
banks in October, 1808, were $82,754,-
960,
82,754;960, an amount barely 9 per cent. of
the aggregate total assets of the 35
chartered Canadian banks reporting
last month, and which amount was
$901,500,000. The total amount of
notes and bills discounted in October,
1868, was $53,500,000; in October, last
year, $580,000,000. The financial busi-
ness of the community serves as an
excellent index to our progress.
Canadians have reason to be proud of
the showing.

—The Weekly Sun .thinks that
Leader McKay failed where lie might
'have scored, and says :—" When the
Whitney Government proposed to
grant 5,000 acres per anile for 115 miles
to the Ontario, Hudson Bay, and
Western Railway, and to guarantee
the bonds of the Canadian Northern
to the extent of $2,500,000, Mr. Mc-
ICay had an opportunity which comes
to few men. Another opportunity of
almost equal value was presented
when Mr. Clarke demanded the yeas
and nays on amendments to the auto-
mobile law. It was open to Mr. Mc-
Kay to speak strongly and clearly on
all these points, and to compel a divi-
sion of the House on each of the ques-
tions involved. He failed to seize the
opportunities offered, and by that fail-
ure showed an utter lack of the genius
required of one in the position he oc-
cupies."
***
THE CIVIL, SERVICE.
-Canmdi:af lair Restorer
--Statistics show that Andrew Car-
negie has given nearly fifty million
dollars for libraries in the United
States, Canada and elsewhere.
—At Mount Forest the spring flood
carried away about forty feet of Mar-
tin's mill dam, including the flood
gates. Considerable other damage
was also done around the town.
—The Dundas Banner notes that in
the sixties better lumber could be
bought for $8 a thousand than now
for $20, Best clear pine sold for $20
then ; it is now worth 1$40, or even
more,
Here is what the Windsor Record, a
staunch Liberal paper says of the Civil
Service of Canada :—
"Everyone knows what the customs
branch of the civil service is, but the
condition of the inland revenue de-
partment will bring a shock to such as
were not on the inside."
"The inland revenue service is a
costly farce, but it is as good as the
country deserves. Partisans lacking
the first business qualification, and
frequently lacking even natural apti-
tude, are pitchforked into jobs to
please the machine, while the real
duties are loaded on a regularly quali-
fied and devoted few. One has no
'need to go beyond Windsor to find
flagrant examples of this wretched
system or lack of system in a depart-
ment that maintains the pretence of
impartial examination for admission."
"Theyank exposure made by the
Commissioner's report has brought
great joy to the small circle of quali-
fied though underpaid drudges who
keep the doors of the departments
open. As a result of the revelations,
.many of the barnacles will have to
qualify or let go. The housecleaning
should be thorough—another Aegean
stable job."
"The day should be hastened, too,
when men entering the customs de-
partment shall have to undergo an ex-
amination worthy of the name."
—The.export trade of the United
States halmost doubled since 1806.
Great Britain buys more than any
other country. Germany is second,
and Canada is third. Last year Can-
ada bought five and one-half million
dollars' worth of corn froin the United
States, and nearly all the anthracite
and bituminous coal consumed in the
Dominion. Canada prefers the Amer-
ican make of builders' hardware to
British -made hardware, but it buys
largely of the class of goods that is
manufactured in Canada. Canada is
also a large purchaser fropi the United
States of all kinds of machinery,
books; automobiles, twine, tobacco
manufactures, paints, soap, clocks and
watches. During the year 1907 Can-
ada imported from the United States
$5,800,000 worth of lumber. India is
the largest purchaser of British manu-
factures ; Germany comes next, and
the United States third, Canada
stands down seventh on the•list.

--In the past flee,. years there has
been an increase of 10 per cent. in the
number of foreigners admitted to
Ontario asylums, the cost of maintain-
ing them having increased in the
same period from $21,613.20 to $51,-
744.30. It is estimated that, taking
into consideration the probable length
of life of these patients, the cost to the
province of maintaining only those
admitted daring 1907 fivi11 be $1,4$7,038,
without including any proportion for
capital expenditure, Foreign 'stipula-
tion in the province Is about 20 per
cent, of the whole, and JMI commit-
ments show 88 per cent. are Of foreign
birth, the east of providing for them
being $21,1 . These authenticated
figures should give the people cense
for serious thought. It is evident
that the Dominion immigration laws
are either not strict enough Or are
badly enforced. Clearly not every
immigrant coming to Canada is an
added aesot. The records allow that
too many are an increased liability
upon the people.
HURON'S POPULATION.
--Exeter ratepayers .carried two by-
laws on Friday by good majorities.
The Gibb by-law was to grant a free
site to the Gibb Evaporator Co., and
the Connor by-Iaw to grant a free site
and fix the taxation for ton years to
the Connor Machine Company. The
vote resulted : For the Gibb by-law,
332; against, 52. For the Connor by-
law, 338; against, 46.
County Clerk Lane has completed
his returns of the population of Hur-
on county, which is required by the
Educational Department. The popu-
lation, as shown by last year's returns
from the minor municipalities, was
54,372. This is a decrease from the
year 1906 of 1,529 and comparing the
figures for the year with the figures
for the year 1897 a decrease during the
decade of 6,356 is showy No doubt
the exodus to the Weit is largely
responsible for the loss, The popula-
tion of Huron in 1897 was 61,228; in
1905 it was 56,381 ; in 1906, 56,401, and
in 1007, 54,872. The figures for the
various minor municipalities within
the county for the years 1907 and 1906
are given below for comparison.
TowNsmes.
—A by-law was passed in havelock
on February 21, raising the hotel
license fee to $750. At first the liquor
party tried to quash the by-law.
,They then said they would not pay
the high fee, but would shut up their
houses,•but the hotelkeepers in town,
three in number, have made applica-
tion for licenses at the high rate. The
former rate was $250,
ITCH, Mange, Prairie Scratches,
Barber's Itch, and every form of con-
tagious Itch on human or animals
cured in 30 minutes by Wolford's.Sani-
tary Lotion. It never fails. Sold by
A. L. Hamilton,
—Colborne Tp. will erect several
new bridges this year. The township
has decided on a new method in the
construction of these bridges for in-
stead of inviting tenders from the
builders for the abutments, they will
hire a mixer with his outfit at so mach
a day. They will also have an over-
seer, who will be held responsible and
is also expected to take off his co.
and go to work like the rest of the
men on duty. The council will fur-
nish the material.
—The managers of Attwood cement
mill are busy these days making many
changes in the mill, which will mean
a great advantage in every way. A
new engine is being installed for pur-
pose of keeping the kilns going steady,
also a clam is being put in the marl -
beds so the cars can be loaded far
quicker. The road -bed is being bal-
lasted, so as the road will be in excel-
lent shape for fast time. Another
time-saver will be built this summer, a
coal -chute being erected on the south
side of the coal mill, The first marl
train consisting of five cars of marl
and one car of clay, • was pulled into
the yards on Friday of last week.
