MILLS .463.0 .00 Obitorial gam -When the Liberals were in opposition, one of the things they delighted to talk about was the abuormal number of civil service employees at the capital. They promised to reduce the number, but instead they have multiplied the staffs many times over. -During the year ending June 30th last the total number of peo- ple killed on Canadian steam rail- ways was 420, divided between 53 passengers, 186 employees, other persons 181. For the year previ- ous the number was 19 passengers, 146 employees and 165 others; total, 330, '1 -It is claimed that a bullet proof waist -coat has been invented for President Roosevelt. The waistcoat is one-fourth of an inch thick and weighs less than half a pound to the square foot. It is soft and flexible and is to be worn under an outer waistcoat. The process of making the garment is kept a secret, but it is said to have withstood every practical test. -The Manitoba Legislature pas- sed the following resolution :- "That this House strongly com- mends and endorses the policy advocated by the Right Hon. Jo- seph Chamberlain, involving certain fiscal changes within the Empire, and is of the opinion that the in- auguration and putting into practi- cal effect of such a policy would be of paramount importance and benefit to the people of Manitoba. '1 -Modern methods and perfected instruments have made accuracy in engineering truly remarkable. Think of digging a tunnel two and one-half miles 'pug by working from opposite sides of a mountai. and finishing in the middle with an error in alignment of less than one-fourth of an inch. That is what has been accomplished in the construction of the second largest tunnel in the United States. -The East Bruce by-election, to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Mr. Cargill, is dated for February 16th. A. W. Robb, edi- tor of the Walkerton Telescope is the Liberal candidate, and J. Don- nelly ex -warden of Bruce county, is the Conservative choice. The riding, for this election, will not, be affected by the Redistribution Bill of last session, but will be the same as at the last general election that is -the Townships .of Brant, Greenock, Carrick and Culross, with the Towns of Teeswater and Walkerton. ,)i)1,1INkM>M 1,N• , -The Canadian Clydesdale Breeders' Association met iu To- ronto ou Thursday last. A. resolu- Con was adopted asking the Do- minion Government to place a minimum specific duty of $30 on each horse that is imported into Canada when the value is under $150, and when the value is above that amount the duty be 20 per cent., always excepting registered horses for breeding purposes. These shall be admitted free of duty when owned and imported by British subjects, bona -fide residents of the Dominion, and registered in the recognized stud books for the different breeds of horses in the country in winch the breeds origi- nated, and in the stud books recog- nized by the Agriculture Depart- ment of Canada. The decision of breeders not to exhibit at St Louis and the proposal to establish a na- tional live stock association were endorsed. .1: -The report of the Electric Lighting Act inspectors shows that at the end of last June there were in existence in the Dominion no less than 324 plants, with 14,780 arc lights and 1,212,861 incandes- cent. Of the 324 electric lighting plants in use throughout the Do- minion, Ontario possessed no fewer than 203. Thirty-four municipali- ties supplied themselves with elec- tric lighting. The province of Quebec, in spite of its enormous waterpowers, has not adopted this system of illumination to anything like such an extent as Ontario. It had 53 plants, 3,853 arc lights and 409,503 incandescent. ' *I' -One of the leading financial reporting agencies says :-"After the phenomenally good showing made by the ,Dominion of Canada last year as to insolvencies, it is not surprising that January should have brought a considerable in- crease as to amount of defaulted liabilities. Total commercial fail- ures in Canada during 3'anuary were 130 in number, against 120 last year and 140 in 1902, no maee terial difference occurring in this respect, but in amount of liabilities. The commercial failures in the 'United States during the month of January numbered 1,406, with an aggregate defaulted indebtedness of $18,483,573,, as compared with 1,269 failures ba the Corresponding month of 1903 for $12,978,970. For some time past Bussia and Japan have been. on the verge of war. Roth are well prepared and ready to fly at each other with terrible fury. It is impossible to forecast the result of a war be- tween these two nation. Russia's army is numerically larger than that of japan, but the navy of the latter is superior to that of Rustle. The danger exists that other na- tions may become involved. Bri. taiti is practically pledged as an ally of Japan, and should she be. 00MO involved, Russia would be sure to stack India. The possi- bilities of sueh a War are awful to Ontein Tate. Both Britain and Japan have for lome time expected that sooner or later Russian aggro' siveness would provoke eonfliet In Aefa. Monday brought aio news that diplomatie relatiOlta twebn Rods and Zawt kid "kw pricisiteelk* I • _The Tonto Mail -Empire re- ports as follows :-As soon as the present session of the Legislature is concluded Mr. Ross will proceed to reorganize his Government. Every one of his colleagues will place his resignation in the hands of the Premier and then Mr. Ross will ask his Honor the Lieutenant - Governor for dissolution of the House. The resignation of the Ministers does not necessarily imply that none of them will go back into the Government. But Mr. Ross wants to be in a position to go to the Lieutenant - Governer with a reconstituted Ministry and claim this a reason for dissolving and, House of Assem- bly. By this trick Mr. Boss hopes to circumvent the Opposition and strengthen his own following in the Legislature. He has a thorough understanding with the Dominion Government in the carrying out of his plan, 'and the fullest energies of the Federal Government will be devoted towards assisting Mr. Ross to secure another lease of power. Tho Dominion authorities are di- rectly interested in the outcome, - as if Mr. Rosa wins again they think it will influence the province in favor of the Laurier Ministry when the Federal Parliament is dissolved. The next Ontario pro- vincial election will take place in May or June. -Dui ing the last session of the Dominion Parliament, the Opposi- tion fought hard against the Grand Trunk Pacific deal, on the ground that it was impracticable, and was a wilful waste of the people's money. 200,000 electors petition- ed the Government to delay its decision until full information as to survey, cost, etc.; was available. But this was a pet scheme and was pushed through. Now the whole scheme has either fallen to pieces, or will have to be entirely revised. The Company decline to build the eastern section. They did not want it in the, first place, and on -the ground that it will he tin ex- pensive to build and will not pay if it was built, they want nothing to do with that part of the line. Events of the past few weeks have borne out with convincing empha- sis Hon. A. G. Blair's criticism of the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway bargain. Mr. Blair characterized the project as "an ill-considered proposal, a grave mistake, a dim - ter, a defective and unjustifiable measure, a grave and egregious error, a senseless suggestion, a sheer unjustifiable appropriation of public money." This damaging criticism is justified by the Grand Trunk Railway Company's de- mand for important modifications. The Grand Trunk shareholders evidently regarded the scheme in the light that Mr. Blair viewed it, ill-considered and senseless. Per- haps the Co. will be offered further inducements, or perhaps the Gov- ernment willswitch round towards Mr. Borden's plan, adopt his sug- gestions and call the. new plan their own. This is exactly the method worked by G. W. Ross in the Ontario Legislature. SMALLPOTATO POLITICS. ••••••••••••••••......1 (Toronto Telegram.) Ontario Liberalism has degene erated when its representatives supply applause to the quibbling of Malcolm Graham Cameron, M. P, P. Ontario ,Liberalism mice held fast to the principle that the re- turning officer, the clerk of the Crown, and all other instruments itt the 'working out of popl114r sovereignty were mere details and that the people's votes alone could make or unmake a representative of the people. IsTow the people's votes seem to count for nothing with the Liberals who Cali 005 much to admire in the halt -splitting niceties of Mr. Cain. eron's law. Common month and eommon jus. tice are greater than the quibbling of all the quibblers in the sect of legal Pharisees.

GO ? •••••••••..•,,••• "Politivel Pointers, No. 2," the second official political handbook of the Liberal party, contains some funny etatements. On page 4 the following appears: "During the seven years the Lib- erals have been in power the gov- ernmeut only added 61, million dol- lars to the public debt -whereas the Conservatives in their Inst Elev. on years added 21 millions." On page. 5 one reads: "Surpluses to the amount of 27 millions were recorded for the years 1901-02 and '03." In another paragraph on page 5, enrplusses of 58i millions are claimed for the Liberal party dur- ing its seven years of rsae. With surpluses of 581 millions, millions were added to the pub - lie debt. What has become of the surpluses? And where has the 6i millions, which were added to the public debt gone? In Ontario the question that has been agitating the people for the past year has been : "Where did the money come from ?" In federal affairs the puzzle is to find out the direc- tion taken by 65 millions ? The electors should be informed as to who the favored individuals are, who received this immense sum. During the coming campaign an explanation should be asked of every Liberal speaker in every rid- ing in Canada. ROBT. li, GARNISS BLUEVALI ONT. Auctioneer for Huron County Terms reasonable.
