Liaftotfat -The Ontario Medical Association uuanimously passed a resolution en- dorsing Dr. Hodgett's proposal that a portfolio of health be created by the Ontario Legislature. .An advisory committee was appointed to wait on the Premier and Ontario Cabinet. -Premier Whitney- has again placed himself on record against an indis- criminate use of the political axe. Pressure is being brought to bear upon members of the Cabinet to expe- dite the dismissal of a large number of civil servants, but the Premier has declined to displace any civil servant unless good cause can he shown. 4* • -Hon. Thos. Greenway, M. P., re- cently forecasted that in ten years Winnipeg would. overtake Toronto, which has a population of some 225,000 and now he goes still further. after taking a look over Montreal, and pre- dicts that in twenty-five years the capital of Manitoba will be the largest city in Canada. He looks for business to boom in Canada, because within the next five years the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway Co. will spend $150,- 000,000, the Canadian Pacific well on $100,000,000, and Canadian Northern in the West alone about $50,000,000. Mr. Greenway said he knew of no other country in the world with a population of 6,000,000, the latent re- sources of "which would warrant the expenditure of the enormous sum of $300,000,000 in so short a period. .. -Having given $40,000,000 for libra- ries, and supplied, besides eight million foreigners, one-fifth of the entire popu- lation of the United States with access to hooks, Mr. Carnegie apparently be- came impatient with the mere $20,000 a day needed to fill such requests, and announced in April his determination to aid the smaller colleges more freely. In accordance with this plan, he speedily increased the sum of his gifts to fifty such institutions to a total since 1900 of $8,000,000. Even this in- creased outlet proved insufficient ap- parently, for just before his departure for Europe the last week in April the announcement was made that he had given $10,000,000 to provide retiring pensions for teachers of universities, colleges and technical schools in the 'United States, Canada and Newfound- land --"without regard to race, sex, creed or color," . . -The Weekly Sun draws attention to the fact, that the biggest single item in the expenditure of the Do- minion Government is for the purpose of meeting the cost of carrying the public debt. In interest alone we paid over $11,000,000 in 1904, and the•cost of management, etc., brought the total up to almost $11,500,000. The entire proceeds received from cattle exported from this country to Great Britain are swallowed up in paying charges on the debt of the Federal Government. For the year ending June 30, 1890, the total revenue of the Dominion Government from taxation was a little less than $28,000,000. Had all the taxes which have since then been collected annually in excess of that amount been applied to debt re- duction the indebtedness of Canada would be about $100,000,000 less than it is to -day. And the cost of carrying the debt is the biggest single item in our national expenditure. .+. -In referring to the arrangement of the constituencies in the new pro- vinces, the Winnipeg Tribune claims that English speaking communities should at least have had equal rights with foreigners, Doukhobors and Ga- licians, but the Laurier Government has seen fit to do otherwise. The Tri- bune says :-"Districts settled by Bri- tish and Canadians are given one member for every two or three thou- sand electors. Districts settled by newly -arrived foreigners, or by distant half-breed trappers who have never cast a vote in their lives, are given one member for every three or four hun- dred electors. Calgary, with a popu- lation of 10;000 or 12,000, is given one member. Western Athabasca, with a white population of less than 1500, is given two members. Thus is the way prepared for gr -aft and corruption, and thus is the statesmanship and patriot - Isla of Sir Wilfrid Laurierandhis col- leagues revealed to the present and of s an future inhabitants Canada." 44 -=-Itttssia habitually spends tmlrore motley eath year nit - tion i the world. tin 10th; han heexothpend• ed more than *1,400,000,0(X), an excc.s of $101,•140,000 over her revenue, This kind of thing has gone On for some years past in Russian finances, about fifty million dollars being regularly misled; to the national debt every year. In 1001 the total debt amounted to about $3,140,590,1106, and practically 14 tiu'tt'ter of the revenue is now an- nually absorbed in interest upon this charge. !What the financial position Of the C'zar's government will be upon emerging from the present expensive war one does not care to contemplate. Great Britain came second in 1902 with its expenditures aft $873,585,000,' but of course the expense of the war in South Africa was then at its heavi- est, and in the same year the national debt increased front $3,718,872,0()0 to $3,879,495,0(0, surpassing the slurs ow- ing by Russia at that thee. Last year the aggregate liabilities of Great Bri- tain were $3,861,000,000. 4 * -In Korea an astonisiting transfor- mation is going on. Sixty thousand Japanese Civilians have already pone - ed in, forming a line of settlements from Fn -San to the Yalu ; railways are being built, harbors improved, lighthouses built, and land reclaitned ; everything is quiet in spite of the fact that there is the smallest possible show of armed force ; Japanese gend- armes have taken the place of the Ko- rean police, bringing about a state of law and order never before known ; Japan has charge of the mails, and of telephone and telegraphs, has the fish- ing rights in all coast waters and the right of entrance for her vessels to in- land waters ; most of the foreign "ad- visers" to the Emperor have -been re- placed by Japanese ; and in every way the "Yankees of the East" are com- mercializing and stirring up the lately unknown Hermit Empire -to the ma- terial b'enefit of all concerned except the Emperor, and his court of para- sites, soothsayers and favorites, whose barbaric and corrupt rule is forever, at an end. In the light of the marvelous rapidity with which Japan has already established a business grip upon the region, it seems hardly possible that she can fail in the long run to absorb permanently both Korea and Man- churia. 'Pews Items -The Dominion Government has fixed the price of binder twine made at Kingston penitentiary for 1905 at 12Je. per pound for pure manilla, 600 feet to the pound; 10ec. for mixed manilla, 550 feet to the pound ; and 9c. for New Zealand, 450 feet to the pound. These prices are to farmers only, and the supply is limited. Far'mer's are advised to club together and buy car lots, thus securing a re- duction of $10 per ton. Harriston, June 7. -:lir. Robt. Scott license inspector for West 'elling- ton, died here this morning of a paralytic stroke. He drove in from his home Monday, and was suddenly stricken that evening, never regaining -consciousness. He had been ailing for some time. He was a prominent man of the township of Minto, having been county councillor and reeve, and also Warden of the county of Wellington. He contested the riding of West Wel- lington in the Liberal interests against the present member, Mr. Tucker. -The annual report of the inspector of insurance for Ontario is again at hand. In looking through the pages dealing with farmers' insurance com- panies we find that two of them went out of business last year, viz., the Sim- coe Co. and the West Bruce. Of the 72 companies yet in operation eighteen have fewer policies in force than they . had the year before. The greatest loss record was by the Vic- toria, which last year lost 915 policies. The greatest gain was made by Farmers' Central of Walkerton. This enterprising company which started business just eleven years ago, added 601 policies to it's business last year. -A fine flock of sheep belonging to 11'rn. Bonesteel, jr., who lives on the the diagonal in Amabel, was, says the Wiarton Echo, attacked two weeks ago by four large bears. A neighbor's son noticing the perilous situation, at once notified Mr. Bonesteel, but be- fore the owner arrived on the scene, two fine ewes had been literally torn to pieces and others badly worried. When pursued, the bears made a hur- ried retreat into what is known as the "Thousand acre burn," where, it is said, countless numbers of the bruin family make their abate, and roam at will within the dense and silent era. This particular stretch of bush, which consists of over one thousand acres, was the scene of a. most disastrous fire more than a quarter of a century ago, when nearly half a million dollars' worth of timber went up in smoke. In recent years a thick stumpy growth of balsam and cedar trees - have sprung up from the ashes of their giant predecessors, which ren, dens the place impregnable. For this reason hunters hesitate to explore its dark and dense interior, and various species of the aminal tribe are allowed to flourish thein unmolested, Terrible Back Pains, They fairly agonize your life. Some- thing powerful and penetrating is needed. Doctors know of nothing so swift to relieve as Nerviline, a strong, penetrating liniment male to cure just such pains as yours.

A lady, whose business takes hey all over the Dominion, was in town this week, and expressed the opinion that she never saw as pt etty a Post Office building es Clinton lis, and very few where the interior furnishings are as complete. The baseball nine drove to Blyth on Thursday last to try conclusions with the team of that place. The result wars a foregone conclusion from al- most the start and at the end.of seven innings the score stood 13 to 8 in favor of Clinton. The semi-annual meeting of the South Huron County Orange Lodge was held in Exeter on Tuesday with a good attendance considering the in- clemency of the weather, County Master Hanley presided. The meet- ing unanimously decided in favor of celebrating July 12th in Clinton. A lady in this town sat down to write an important letter, placing in front of herself a bottle of ink, and a bottle of similar size of strong beef tea, the latter for refreshment, as the day was sultry. Feeling faint and wanting in ideas, she took up the bot- tle of ink and drank a good draught before noticing the difference in taste. She is still alive, and a short time ago was up town looking for another bot- tle of ink. Thos. Jackson, familiarly known as "Curly", whose accidental shooting was reported in The News -Record last week, died in the hospital at Pem- broke on Saturday. He was a mem- ber of a Georgian Bay canal survey and was one of a party of twenty working along the Ottawa river. They had been on the river and Curly was one of those engaged in rowing the boot, and when the steam launch which picked them up every evening overtook them he- reached forward for his coat. A rifle was lying in the boat and whether he struck it with his foot or the coat became entangled in, it, is not known but it discharged and the ball entered his body and lodged in the muscles of the back. As quickly as possible he was taken to the hospital at Pembroke where he re- ceived every attention, and for a time there was some hope of recovery, but on Saturday he succumbed to his in- juries. Cuban Diarrhoea. U. S. soldiers who served in Cuba during the Spanish war know what this disease is, and that ordinary remedies have little more effect than so much water. Cuban diarrheoa is almost as severe and dangerous as a mild attack of cholera. There is one remedy, however, that can always be depended upon as will be seen by the following certificate from Mrs. Minnie Jacobs of Houston, Texas: "I hereby certify that Chamberlain's Colic, Cho- lera and Diarrhoea Remedy cured my husband of a severe attack of Cuban diarrhoea, which he brought home from Cuba. We had several doctors but they did hint no good. One bottle of this remedy cured him, as our neighbors will testify. I thank God for so valuable a medicine." For sale by all druggists.
