--The eleventh report of the Su-
perintendent of Neglected and De-
pendent Children of Ontario is to
hand. Its perusal causes a feeling
of sadness at' the thought of so
much suffering and neglect among
the little ones ; so many east out
upon an unsympathetic world. Yet
there is hope and encouragement in
the work that has been performed,
under, perhaps, many difficulties..
Children have been rescued from
surroundings the most wretched
and depraved; they have been pro-
perly cared for and placed under
proper moral influences, with the
result that they give every indica-
tion of growing up to be useful and
respected young men and women.
To be left as the Society found
them would mean that many of
them would swell the population of
our prisons and reformatories, or
become a nuisance to society. The
Society is doing a good work, and
there is plenty of room for its
operations.
—This is the way the Toronto
Telegram puts the case.: --The
Grand Trunk Railway shareholders
in London assembled were with
difficulty persuaded to risk $]5,-
000,000 of their own money in re-
turn for the ,use of $150,000,000 of
Canada's credit. The Dominion of
Canada shareholders at Ottawa as-
sembled are willing, by a large and
partisan majority, to risk 150 -mil-
lion dollars of the country's credit
to secure 15 millions' private' capi-
tal in the Grand Trunk Pacific
scheme. The Grand Trunk share-
holders hesitated to risk 15 million
dollars in order to secure a trans-
continental railway for themselves.
The Dominion of Canada share-
holders do not hesitate to risk 150
million dollars of their country's
credit in order to secure a trans-
continentaI railway for other peo-
ple. It is a pity that the Grand
Trunk shareholders are not legis-
lating at Ottawa and the Dominion
of Canada shareholders discussing
Grand Trunk Railway schemes at
London.

—Several families of Frenah Ca-
nadians from the New England
States have removed this Spring to
Edmonton. It is expected that at
least 300 families will remove from
those States to the Canadian North

—Articles of incorporation have
been filed for the National Farmers'
exchange, with South Dakota head-
quarters at Pierre, and offices in
Chicago, with a capital of $50,000,-

purpose co-operation in the hand-
ling of all products of the farms ;
or, in other words, a "farmers'

—There are 1,800 churches in

—It is reported that Hon. James
