TIIEO. HALL, PROPRIETOR,
—A statement giving the building
operations of the principal cities of
the continent shows that Winnipeg
leads them all, exceeding even New
York in the aggregate value of per-
mits issued by over $8,000,009.

—Hon, E. J. Davis, M. P. for North
York has been unseated for corrupt
practices. The loss of the Soo, North
Perth and North York leaves the par-
ties in the Legislature, a tie. Hon. G.
W. Ross' fight has been a disaster to
the Liberal party.
* *
—His Honor the Lieutenant -Gover-
nor says that he will not interfere in
the peculiar situation that has arisen
in Ontario politics in consequence of
the unseating of Hon. E. J. Davis, and
the consequent disappearance of the
Government's majority in the House.

—The opening of the regular session
of the Normal school in Toronto the
other day was notable because the
pupils number 142, the Iargest on
record, of whom no fewer than 139 are
females, a complete reversion of con-
ditions which existed up to a few
years ago.

—Germany is paying $750,000,000 a
year for beer and other alcoholic stim-
ulants, and there is a growing senti-
ment that that is too much, and those
high in authority are considering how
best to lessen the thirst for such
stimulants.
*
—The North Bruce Liberal conven-
tion held on Thursday, nominated J.
E. Campbell, of Hepworth, as the Lib-
eral candidate for the riding in the
House of Commons. The contest was
between Mr. Campbell and John Tol-
rnie, M. P., the vote standing 83 to 79
in favor of the former.

—The list of the Czar of Russia's
relatives includes a brother, an uncle,
four cousins of the first degree, ten of
the second, thirteen of the third, and
a great-uncle. Ali of these except the
thirteen cousins of the third degree
must be addressed as "imperial high-
ness." These thirty-three male rela-
tives of the Czar are a great financial
burden to the empire, as each of them
receives an annual income of $460,000.
They moreover own in the aggregate
5,000 square miles of land and. 325
palaces, employing an army of 20,000
servants.

--When speaking in Brampton, Mr.
R. L. Borden, the Conservative leader,
said that he would rather see any
young man ally himself with the Lib-
eral party and do what he could to
improve it, than to sit silent, inactive
acid take no share or interest in the
public life of the country. "The way
to improve public affairs," he added,
"is by associating at once with that
political party which best commends
itself to your judgment. The Con-
servative
ornservative party had made mistakes in
the past, and if returned to power,
might make mistakes in the future.
We were all human. No man could
profess to be immaculate, but ask
you—whether the Liberal party, hold-
ing the reins of power at Ottawa, and
in nearly every Province in Cana da --
I ask you whether these Governments,
if they desired. to do so, could not have
stopped them methods, these bends,
ballet switching, ballot -startling, the
election stealing, which have so often
prevailed in this Province during the
peat Atilt ,yat,ttre P
--The Toronto News says : The On-
tario
Government now has No majori-
ty. For it to continue to transact
public business when not in possession
of the confidence of the Legislature
would be an abuse of the constitution
grosser than any hitherto practised.
I+`ailing resignation—the correct course
---or a sdissolution—the, next. best alter-',
native ---tire Government should as-
suredly hold the bye -elections for the
three vacant seats as speedily as. possi-
ble, and on the saute day. An at-
tempt to admittster the province with-
out as majority, or manipulation of the
bye -elections, should be resented by
public opinion with the utmost stern,
ness,

--Yet another "cure" for consump-
tion has been introduced into England
sand is about to be investigated by the
medical authorities of the Brompton
Ifospital. The idea emanates front
Australia, and takes the form of a.
machine whereby the patient, inhaling
hot air, combined with certain chemi-
cal gases, is said not only to secure
immediate relief, but is absolutely
cured within a very short period. The
treatment is extremely simple, the
patient having merely to sit or recline,
holding and inhaling from a tube at,
tached to the machine. This is to be
practiced twice or thrice a day, and in
the course of front . six to eight weeks
—even in very bad cases—the cure is
said to follow.
• M • e.
—Passing through Montreal on his
way to Newfoundland, Hon. Mr. Root,
ex -Secretary for War in the United
States Government, was held up by a
reporter, who wanted to know what
he thought of Canada. His reply is
given as follows :—
"What do I think of Canada and its
future? It is a moral country and
must grow, We in the States are
anxious to see it grow, for prosperity
for Canada means added prosperity
for the United States. Its resources
are wonderful, and practically with-
out a limit, so I cannot see where its
prosperity should be limited in any
sense. As for the 'American Invasion'
of Canada, I don't wonder at it, for
Americans are usuaIIy quick to grasp
an opportunity, and in Canada they
see a great one. It ought to be a good
thing for you, too, for you need the
people and the money here to develop
your country, and we can furnish
both. Canada is, to my mind, a coun-
try for young men, and, mind you,
when I say that I don't mean that we
are so old ourselves that we are in the
least stage of decay in the States. We
are more developed than you only be-
cause we have the start over you.
Eventually Canada will become just
as prosperous and just as powerful as
the United States,"

--According to the annual estimate
of the drink bill, prepared by the
American Grocer, the total retail cost
of alcoholic and other stimulating
beverages for the year ending June 80,
1903, was $1,451,833,379. The annual
average cost for the past five years
has been $1,293,903,358, The record
shows an expenditure for stimulants
of $18.15 for each of the 80,372,000 in-
habitants, or $90.05 per family of five.
There has been a steady increase in
the quantity of stimulating beverages
used, notably in the use of alcoholic
liquors, which has arisen in twenty-
three years from 101 gallons to 20 gal-
lons per capita. The per capita use of
tea for six years past is much below
the average for the same period, while
the consumption of coffee has increas-
ed from 81 pounds in 1881 to 101
pounds inr1903, and is over 50 per cent.
greater than the par capita use from
1866 to 1880, The total revenue de-
rived by the United States Govern-
ment in 1403 from spirituous and malt
liquors, licenses, etc., was $170,501,328
—a per capita tax $2.24.

—The New York World has the fol-
lowing on the increase of crime in the
United States :—"According to the
last census the criminal class in the
United States has increased from one
in 3,500 population to one in 786.' The
annual number of 10,000 murders is
greater than in any other civilized
country. In a recent address by
Judge C. J. St. Sohn befofe the Ten-
nessee Bar Association statistics were
quoted showing that in Georgia alone,
twenty-two people are killed to one in
England. In Georgia but one in a
hundred is punished, while in Eng-
land, one in three suffers, The prose-
cution of Criminals in the United
States is fast degenerating into a
ghastly farce. The murderer whose
means permit him to retain shrewd
counsel it almost Certain to escape
punishment. Trials extend over weeks
and often over months. A verdict of
guilty gives no assurance that the
criminal will pay the penalty. Ap-
peals are multiplied, based upon tech-
nical and frivolous objections, for the
mere purpose of prolonging Iife, and
if the law is finally permitted to take
its course it is only after years of de-
lay. The crime liras been forgotten
and the lesson intended to be conveyed
almost lost,"
This is how the scheme is worked ;—
Premier Ross subsidizes a railway, and
his two followers, Contnee and Bow
man, members of the I3ouse, appear
at once as middlemen, and are given
the right to collect a "hake -off" of 10,
per cent. upon contracts issued for the
building of the road. Without doing
as tap of work, these legislators become
entitled to no less a sum than $400,000,
in virtue of the contracts that have
been let. The company falls into dif13,
arnities, and the "rake-off'" is imperiled.
The Legislature is therefore railed so I
far to help the collo as to enable it
ter play out of public money loaned to
it. the $400,000 "rake-off" which Con:

' THE SAULT SCANDAL.
In the Sault election sonic facts
were brought out with blackboard.
clearness.
It was proved that a steamer and
train belonging to the Sault industries
were furnished for the purpose of
carrying a gang of pluggers to outly-
ing polling divisions, where they
might;, in the names of absent electors,
vote for the Government candidate,
It was proved that the steamer and
train were sent by order of the acting
manager of the Sault industries, after
consultation with the Liberal organi-
zer ; it was proved that false votes
really were cast at two divisions, and
that the voting in one case occurred
at a division{ where a Provincial con-
stable was deputy -returning officer
it was proved, finally, that Ron.
Gibson, Attorney -General for Gimtario,
was formally notified in advance of
the intended plugging and was called
upon, in his official capacity, to pre-
vent it.
Ali this, following the West Elgin
scandal, calls for something more than
the unseating of the man whose elec-
tion was secured by such a monstrous
outrage upon the sacredness of the
polling booth, The Attorney -general
ought to ansiver for what he has done.
He is the special guardian of the law.
HAUNTS FOR ma GAME.
The season is fast approaching when
the hunter will be getting ready for
his annual outing to the woods in
search of big game, and the present
time is opportune for' making the
necessary arrangements for a suc-
cessful hunt. From reports received
by the Grand Trunk Railway System
'deer are plentiful in several districts
of the "Highlands of Ontario" and
Moose abound in the "Ternagaami.' re-
gion. In one day recently eight in-
dividual Moose were seen by a canoe-
ing party at different points in this
region. The open season for deer and
moose in "The Highlands" is from
November 1st until November 15th,
and from October 10th to November
15th in the Temagami country.
Hunting parties are assured of the
legal number of game if they go into
the proper localities, Reliable in-
formation regarding camp equipment,
experienced guides and all requisites
