Ebftotiat -It is not the intention of the On- tario Government to introduce during the present session any legislation re- garding the taxation of railway cor- poration or telephone and telegraph companies. Actiou will be deferred until the matter is thoroughly consid- ered in all its bearings. * * -The continued illness of Hon. Jas. Sutherland, the member. for North Oxford, will prevent his attendance in Parliament this year, and it is gener- ally understood preclude his retention of the office of Minister of Public Works. It is further understood that he is prevented from resigning that office, only because the Government dare not face an Ontario constituency in a by-election, with the Autonomy Bill excitement abroad. -The Municipal World is urging that municipalities be given the right to tatx railways not only upon their right of way, but upon the ties, rails, poles, etc., locate dl on the same, The World would allow the municipalities to tax all the real and laasonal proper- ty of the companies, leaving to the Province the right to tax the franchise for Provincial ptll'pOSeS, • -The World urges that the Govern- ment itself undertake the business of harvesting the timber crop of the Pro- vince, There should, the World inti- nnates, be no middleman between the people's heritage and the people them- selves, save the Government, who should elle the timber, saw it into lum- ber and sell direct to consumers, And why not? The gild system of cutting over a timber area and leaving the land waste isbeing gradually ly a an- doned, We are coming to the modern system of cutting timber as it matures and providing for reproduction either by :artificial or natural planting. Would it not be a simpler proposition for the Province to harvest the timber itself that, to supervise the harvesting by a corporation always looking for an advantage? -[Weekly Sun. -The postal rural delivery system of the United States cost last year twelve million dollars, and even with this large outlay, the deficit was only six per cent. of the revenue. It is claimed that with proper economy, the deficit might have been avoided; so that the rural mail delivery has been a great success. The British post office delivers everything, including parcels up to 11 pounds in weight, all over the count y, and has a surplus revenue of $22,000,000. f • * -The Mexican Consul -General in Argentine reports to his Government a scientific discovery which is said to prove that tape worm is the natural enemy of the germ of consumption, and that the latter cannot exist where the former is present. It is said to have been proved that a consumptive affected with tape worm was entirely restored to health. A liquid prepared from the tape worm injected into sev- eral consumptives is said to have ef- fected a cure. * * -The Ontario Government is re- solved, as far as possible to make an honest effort to enforce the license law. In the Legislature, Hon. W. J. Hanna, in reply to Mr. Preston, said, "while all the old license inspectors had not been removed, there was no doubt that the majority of then had. It was felt that the appointees of the Government could be held responsible to a greater extent than those not so appointed. The Government was not only pledged to a strict enforcement of the law, but was prepared to take that responsibility." -An Ontario packing firm recently imported 1,000 hogs from Buffalo in order to fill its English orders for bacon. This is the most striking tes- timony yet offered as to the scarcity of hogs in this Province, as such an importation had not taken place for some twenty-five years before. The scarcity is not local or temporary, either, as a Montreal exporter informs the Trade Bulletin that he will be compelled to import American hogs regularly in bond, to be slaughtered for export, unless the Canadian supply increases very materially. . *. -" Don," the editor of Saturday Night, considers something will hap- pen at the next election, and this is the way he puts it ;-"In the House of Cominons at Ottawa the other day the elevator, in which were caged a bench of members, fell about two stories and gave the passengers a severe shaking up. This should be taken as a warn- ing by other members of the House. There are a good many men at Ottawa who need to follow the example of the elevator crowd and take a tumble. That drop of two stories is a mere no- thing compared to the drop that will take place at next election." -The people of Ontario will ap- prove ofthe policy ofthe"WhitneyP P 3' ZV Government with regard to the wetter powers of the province. Instead of handing these valuable assets over to capitalists and monopolies, bion. Mr. Whitney declares, that tinder proper conditions, every ratepayer must have the privilege of using thetas. In clos- ing the budget debate, the Premier said :--- "I have said that the water poly ers at Niagara Falls should be as free as air, and Isay so now; and I say, on Govern- ment, behalf of the Gove- Inent, that the water powers of "this Province shall not be the spoil and prey' of capitalists, but Will be treated as a valuable asset of the people o n r f O to 'o whose trustees * * -H. Eilber, M. L. A. for South Hu- ron, has not, like some other members, been pestered with office seekers. "Oue reason for this is that I made no promises during the campaign. The chief reason is found in the fact that I represent a fine riding, with a thrifty, independent people, who ask only that public affairs shall be efficiently and honestly administered. True, I have had a few urging ole to find places for them. I asked these applicants to tell me what they wanted, and then I have shown them, in the public ac- counts, just what is the salary attach- ed to the position sought for, and in- variably I have been able to convince these applicants that they are better off where they are than they would be in the positions desired. The trouble is that people generally take the office of sheriff or registrar, with emolu- ments of two or three thousand a year and little to do, as a typical Govern- ment position. As a matter •of fact, the average public official of Ontario is poorly paid." * * -Mr. Gamey, in the course of-+ a speech in the Legislature last week, called attention to one of the evils which has followed the wholesale do- nation of lands as subsidies for railway promoters in New Ontario, The pro- moters to whom these lands have been granted cannot dispose of them until the roads are built ; the Government is also powerless to deal with them until the promoters clearly forfeit their right by failure to build the roads, on account of which the lands were granted. Meantime from whole townships, which may contain valua- ble mineral deposits, the prospector who might develop these possibilities is barred out. Mr. Gamey also said that in New Ontario there are 13,000,- 000 acres of copper -bearing land, and there are also zinc deposits containing millions of tons. Missouri, be said, is treating zinc ores of 15 per cent., while Ontario ores of 20 and 25 per cent. are neglected. Germany, Austria and the United States, which produce the zinc of the world, have not, he added, a de- posit which begins to compare with that of Ontario. CARNEGIE LIBRARIES. • Clinton, On MoMaynday, ay 2nd, the vote will • be taken on the by-law to loan tiro Clinton I{nitting Co. $G000, Religious exercises at the house of Refuge, which were discontinued dur- ing the winter owing; to the coldness.celdnes of the weather and bad roads,, were resumed on Sunday last. ?lir. Israel Taylor, of London, for- merly of (;limon, has bought a lot there, and has let a contract for a nice house ; he expects the total cost will be about $3500. There must be money in the insurance business. It is rumored that the G. T. R. may rata a branch line through from Exe- ter to St. Joseph. This may be cor- rect but it looks very much like at' scheme of that superb promoter, M. Cantine, who is always "developing" some plan to keep St. Joseph alive. While engaged painting the outer walls of the Mason House, Mr. Ed. Cassels fell from the ladder upon which he was standing and lit heavily upon mother earth, some fifteen feet below. Though no bones were broken he was badly shaken up and bruised. In nearly every English-speaking country to -day there is a Carnegie free public library. Altogether there are 1,352. During every hour of every day some of these libraries are open and in use. In New Zealand they en- lighten the Maori ; in the crowded East Side of New York City they up- lift a congested foreign population ; in Ireland they influence a struggling race. Without regard to creed or color, they have everywhere taught the value of high intellectual ideals. They have placed (or will place when the buildings planned are erected) free reading within the reach of 25,000,000 people, and they represent a total benefaction of more than $10,000,000. No individual has ever contributed so much to a single cause or touched so many people. It is the most remark- able public service in the history of philanthropy, and its conduct is as unusual as the personality behind it. Outside the United States Mr. Car- negie's largest library benefactions have been in England, where he has given and promised $6,372,240. Two hundred and eighty-three English towns have a total of 325 libraries, or will have, when all provided for are erected, serving 20 per cent. of the population. The smallest Carnegie Library in the world is on the historic Island of Iona, just off the Scotch coast. It is less than fifteen feet long and scarcely as wide. It is on a sea - swept spot, and the walls are of gra- nite and nearly two feet thick. It is used by fishermen. The smallest town in England to adopt the free library act, which enables the towns to tai the people one penny for every pound's worth of property, is Bothwell in , Northamptonshire. The building used for a library was partially built 300 years ago and never completed. It wag intended to be a market place. Canada has received free library gifts approximating $11,000,000. There are forty-nine places with fifty-seven 1i• brary buildings in the Dominion. Ire- land has thirty-one towns with Carne- gie Libraries, Neto Zealand has five, t TasmaniaTasmaniaand the Vest McBee have one Melt. The total amount of motley given by Mr. Carnegie for libraries outside the 'United Mtates is $10,1103,. , the GovernmentrI are♦" 540.-4World'ti Work. At the request of the Fire Inspector, an alarm of fire was sounded on Wed- nesday morning in order to test the fire appliances, and the townspeople, supposing it was another fire, hustled out, only to find they had been "sold." Stearn was quickly got up in the en- gine, and the water pressure on a few minutes after the alarm was sounded. Mr. A. J. Holloway returned home on Saturday night after au absence of one month spent in the West. Half of the time he was in the state of Wisconsin and the last two weeks in Manitoba, going as far west as Gris- wold. As the result of his observe - Mous he does not think the "grainaai'y of Canada" is a business man's para- dise. There are too many trying to snake a fortune "keeping store" and where one succeeds twenty or more fail. "Winnipeg," says Mr. Holloway, "fairly swarms with unemployed men. I could gather 10,000 of them in three hours." Walkerton. It is reported that Dr. Bradley of Bervie is to be appointed license in- spector for Centre Bruce. The doctor will make a good man for the job. Mr. Richard Harrison has sold his farm a mile and a quarter west of Walkerton to Mr. Win. Long for $3500. This looks like a pretty good price but it is a good fifty acres. The C, P. R. surveyors pulled up stakes on Monday morning and struck out for Durham. There they will pitch their tents, and from there will survey between Hanover and Durham and then on to Flesherton. They promised to come back in four weeks, to make the final selection of the route. It is rumored that Sheriff Parke of Walkerton may resign his position, and among those Whose names are mentioned as his successor is Col. Belcher, mayor of Southampton. The Col. has no doubt earned the position at the hands of the party, and we know of no one who would be more suitable. A fifteen hundred pound steer, the property of Mr. Edwin Tolton, jumped into the reservoir at the station on Monday. Fortunately the water was not very deep and after a couple of hours was rescued by the use, of rope and muscle under the supervision of Barney Shearer. People tell us they have not noticed any change in the taste of the town water. The South Bruce License Commis- sioners met at the Hartley House last Friday for the purpose of dealing with applications for licenses for the ensue- ing year. The liquor store in Luck - now was given a three months' license as was also Marshall's hotel at Bel - more and the hotel at Dunkeld, after which time perhaps they will be grant- ed a further extension and perhaps not.
