--The Russian Government reaps a
revenue from the liquor traffic
amounting to $358,000,000 ayear ; the
United States, $178,000,000; Great
Britain, $163,000,000, and France,
$100,000,000. These 'figures are the
great bulwarks behind which the traf-
fic entrenches itself.
-As might be expected, there are
disappointed Liberals, who expected
to be made Senators, Among them
is noted Mr. Tolmie, who was turned
down in the South Bruce convention
recently. It seems there are not
enough offices to appease the hunger
of the crowd of seekers.

they have a total of 28,600 cars and

-Nothing is more significant of the
sudden development of Japan than
the history of her railways. The first
railway, eighteen miles in length, was
completed in 1871 At the present
time there are 1,344 miles of State and
3,150 miles of private railways in
operation, and there ' are 852 miles
under construction, For the most
part they pay well, the larger yielding
dividends from ten to twelve per
cent.

-Only 14,995,272 acres or 15.7 per
cent. of the whole area of Japan, ex-
clusive of Formosa, consists of arable
land, and 55 per cent. of the agricul-
tural families cultivate less than two
each; 30 per cent. cultivate two acres
or more up to one and one-half cho, or
te little less than three and three-
quarter acres, leaving 15 per cent. of

three and three-quarter acres or

-Sir Richard Cartwright passes
from the Commons to the shelter of
the Senate, having been appointed
Senator to succeed the late Hon. J. C.
Atkins. Liberals used to call the
Senate, the refuge for defeated candi-
dates
andidates and worn-outpolitical hacks.
To this "refuge" has Sir Richard gone
with the stain of being the only man
in the House of Commons who had
the audacity to publicly defend the
outrageous "Jackson appointment."
-The Aylmer Sun has always Ieaned
to the Liberal party, and its editor is
a. thoughtful and well posted man,
fair-minded and liberal. His iuipres-
sion of Mr. R. L. Borden is therefore
of interest. He says
Mr. Borden is a man of good pre-
sence, forceful and courteous in man-
ner, choice in language, and forsaking
all abuse or anything like it, pre-
sents his thoughts in a manner cal-
culated to impress his hearers as
one who could be trusted in any way,
Ile showed a disposition to treat all
fairly and in so doing added greatly to
his laurels as a popular speaker, and
thoroughly convinced those present
+of his Am conviction in the truth and
right of all he said.

-This is the way the Galt Reporter
views the Lieutenant-Gevernor office
-"Of all the useless appendages this
°entry+ is saddled with under its
form of Government, the Govern -
nett House in Toronto (and all its
belongings y .is the most absurd; an
lrstitUtior't entirely out of place in a
tnbetatk wintry. It nems no
impose, though people given to
stploltation of society may' regard
a7asli
amiutialht Om rounding
off of the Pi'ovineial capital's society
circle. And to think that for all the
frills of this appendage the Province
cashes up to the extent of about $30,-
000 per year, the Lieutenant -Governor
receiving $10,000 for looking wise,
dressing well, and exhibiting the
necessary ability to entertain I The
plain people of this Province should
rebel against the continuance of such
an expensive and altogether useless
appendage of Provincial administre-
tion,,"
THE GRAND TRUNK PACIFIC
It; referring to Mr. Borden's policy
regarding the G. T. P., the Toronto
News says ;-•-
The Government itself has provided
formidable arguments in support of
Mr, Borden's position, It is true, as
the Opposition leader contends, that
we are using the national credit for
nine -tenths of the cost of a transcon-
tinental raile ey, which will become
the property of private capitalists.
Roughly, the Grand Trunk Railway
guarantees $14,000,000 or $15,000,000 of
this cost, while the country provides
$150,000,000 or $160,000,000. In detail
the country guarantees three-fourths
of the cost of the Western and
Mountain Sections, and constructs the
Eastern Section. The 'Western and
Mountain Sections become the ab-
solute property of the private
capitalists. They will hold a lease of
the Eastern Section for fifty years ;and
running rights for another half
century, At the termination of the
lease they will own outright all the
terminals on the Eastern Section, and
will have the right to retain and
operate all profitable feeders, and to
unload upon the country all unprofit-
able branches that may have been
constructed. They are likewise per-
mitted to issue $25,000,000 of common
stock for which they need not sub-
scribe one dollar and upon which for
all time to come the traffic of the
country will be assessed for dividends.
These are extraordinary terms, and
reveal the extraordinary political
power exercised by the group of
capitalists who are the beneficiaries
under the contract. Fourteen or fif-
teen months ago the Government
submitted to Parliament abargain
with the Grand Trunk Pacific promo-
ters for the construction of a trans-
continental railway. Parliament rati-
fied the agreement, and there is hard-
Iy any doubt that upon this agree-
ment the Government intended to go
to the country, but just at that junc-
ture the promoters demanded an
enormous betterment of the terms,
and the Government had either to
submit or sacrifice the great construc-
tive policy upon which they had em-
barked. Failure necessarily involved
deep humiliation for the Government
and serious loss of political prestige.
Naturally unequal to a confession of
failure the Ministers bowed to the
dictation of the promoters. There-
upon the new agreement was com-
pleted, accepted by Cabinet and
caucus, and forced through Parlia-
ment. Here was Mr. Borden's op-
portunity and he met the situation
with the bold declaration for public
construction of the whole undertak-
ing. He told the country that if we
had to meet nine -tenths of the 'cost,
meaning probably nine -tenths of the
liability, it would be better to meet
the other tenth also, and own the
whole road, and that the people must
choose between a Government-owned
railway or a railway -owned Govern-
ment. The logic of this position can
hardly be successfully assailed.
•
STATE RAILWAYS IN JAPAN.
Japan has not been afraid of
Government ownership and Govern-
ment operation of railways, tele-
graphs and telephones. Side by side
with her building up of a splendid
army and a powerful navy, with her
creation of a mining industry and a
manufacturing interest, has gone -the
construction of a network of means .of
communication. She has made her
public railways, telegraphs and tele-
phones pay. They pay not only by
developing the country, but by re-
turning a satisfactory interest on the
capital invested.
During the decade between 1892.3
and 1902-3 railway expansion went on
at high pressure. The mileage in-
creased from 1,870 to 4,237. The num-
ber of engines and passenger cars was
quadrupled, and the number of
freight cars rose from 4,572 to 21,505.
The passengers carried in the earlier
year numbered 28,000,000, in the later
year /11,000,000. The freight carried
increased from 2,700,000 tons to 14,400,
000 tons. The railway service in
Japan is in its infancy, and great
natural obstacles have had to be over-
come. Yet the net profits recently
were 8.4 per cent, for the Stag lines
and 8.2 per cent. for the private
lines.
During the sante decade the expan-
sion in other methods of communica-
tion was extraordinary. The postal
messages increased from 280,000,000 to
903,000,000. The postal peveels in-
creased from 40,000 to 10,000,000. The
volume of telegraphic message swell-
ed from 5,500,000 to 17,600,000. Tele-
phonic messages rose from 3,000,000 to
111,000,000. The postoffice of Japan
employs a4 greater number of men
than those of eithee Austria or Itaas.'
six►. More letters and parcels are
transmitted by the post in Japan than
in Italy or Russia. The telegraph
mileage in Japaxi is greater than that
of Austria oar I"tusela. She sends more
telegrams than do tussis, Austria
and Italy'. Her telephone service has
• miles of wire than are to be
fessnd inAsiatt lL,Bus*tso2'.jtla%.

A pleasant time was spent at the
residence of John Johnston, on con. 5,
West Wawanosh, on Friday evening
of last week, the occasion being the
presentation of a beautiful address
and a handsome gold watch to Miss
Dorajohnston, daughter of Mr. John-
ston, who has acted voluntarily for
some years as the efficient organist in
St. Paul's church, Dungannon,
A peculiarly sad death occurred in
Ashfield on Tuesday, Sept. 27th, when
Miss Minnie Styles, daughter of Thos.
Styles, passed away in the -spring -time
of her youth to the land beyond the
grave. The young lady, exemplary in
everything worthy of imitation, had
procured a situation in Lorain, Ohio,
and had entered on a career of great
promise and 'usefulness, when she
became a prey to that fell destroyer,
consumption.
Drugging Won't Cure Catarrh.
All the medicine in the world taken
into the stomach won't cure catarrh,
and it's useless to squander money on
tablets, bitters and liquid remedies.
Catarrh is a disease of the nasal pas-
sages, throat and bronchial tubes,
Stomach medicines can't reach these
parts. It's only fragrant healing Ca-
tarrhozone that which is breathed all
through the air passages that is sure
to reach the seat of Catarrh. No
failure ever known if Catarrhozone
was used, It heals and doesn't ir-
ritate ; it soothes, kills the germs and
therefore cures. Use only Catarrho-
zone the one certain cure. Two
months treatment $1.00 ; trial size 25
cents.

for sale and as the quality is not as
good as I think our market demands, in
order to encourage the making of good
Butter I am prepared to pay from three
