-Agricultural eports are a feature
of the trade returns for October. The
total exports were $30,092,699, a gain
of $10,585,44 over the same month of
1904,
* *
-While business in Russia has al-
most collapsed, while strikes and lock-
outs paralyze the industry of the na-
tion, the business in Japan has shown
a remarkable increase. The little Isl-
and Empire possesses recuperative
powers which her clossal rival seems
unable to exhibit.

-The new 0. P. R. steamer, the
Empress of Britain, was successfully
launched last week on the Clyde. She
is the largest vessel ever launched
from the h'airfield yards, has a dis-
placement of 20,000 tons, and ranks as
one of the largest Leviathians upon
the North Atlantic.

-The plebiscite*taken in Norway
hows the large majority of the peo-
ple in favor of Prince Charles of Den-
mark as their King. The results in
418 constituencies show 233,935 votes
in favor of Prince Charles of Denmark
as King of Norway, and 62,739 against
him. The Republicans expected to
poll 33 per cent. of the votes, but only
obtained 21 per cent.

-Official reports to the Toronto
Board of Trade show that the Cana-
dian farmers will this year get about
thirty million dollars for their butter
and cheese. The greater part of this
goes to the Ontario dairymen, and
Secretary Morley considers that with
the excellent Ontario grain crops and
the dairying prosperity, the province
is assured of a progressive year's trade
independent of the western boom and
the railway expansion going on.

--Cecil It Smith, 0, T+., in a rcent
article, tonehes upon the question
of Ontario's timber supply, as well as
the electrical possibilities of te Pro-
vince. W e are, he delares, nearer to
exhaustion in our pne supply than is
commonly supposed, and intelligent
foresight should lead us to begin re -
afforesting our waste places, Tn Mr,
Smith's opinion all such lands as are
found in Northern Hastings and Ad-
dington should be taken back by the
Crown and planted to forest. This
would not ony provide for a future
timber supply but would help to cornserve our water powers as well.
-By the terms *of a new Indian
treaty just signed by Hon. Frank
Cochrane, for the Ontario Govern-
ment, the Indians in a tract of 90,000
square miles of land north of the
Height of Land get $8 per head for
the first year and afterwards $4 year-
ly. Each family of five gets a square
mile of land, but only 106 square miles
have thus been disposed of. The pro-
vince pays the per capita grants,
while the Dominion pays the expenses
of the commissioners' survey, also the
cost of delivery of the money, which
is ahea'ey item. The treaty is known
as No. 9.

-Dr. T. B. Hyslop, the famous au-
thority on tnental diseases and super-
intendent of Bethlehem Royal Hos-
pital, at the recent meeting of the
British Medical Association, said that
in all his dealings with the insane he
discovered that there were few among
them who are in the habit of praying.
He regards prayer as the best preven-
tive of insanity. Referring to the
fact that insanity is sometimes at-
tributed to religious excitement, he
says "no religion and no sense of
moral obligation are much more fre-
quently the source of insanity,
through the indulgences to which
they lead."
* *
be about Feb. 1. There is a similar
organization in the United States, and
in a recent lawsuit it was shown that
in the past six years the combine had
soaked the public ninety-six million
dollars for drugs by increased prices.
If the Canadian concern plays the
same trick, tate people will, as usual,
tamely stibmit. Corporation million-
aires, combines, mergers, ete., seem to
think that all the common people are
for is to pity toll to thele and increase
their wealth.

-Prof. Golclwin Smith in speaking
of the North York election now in
progress, said -"I belong to neither
political party, nor have I ever med-
dled, nor do 1 propose to meddle, with
any election outside of my own riding,
and there I vote not for the party but
for the man. I think we must gene-
rally look to the farmer as the best
representative, not only of our most
important industry, but of sound
political character and attachment to
the broad interests of the state. A
Liberal I have always been, and am ;
but the machine with its trickery and
its indemnities' bill, profanes that glo-
rious name."
-From figures obtained at the Un-
ion Stock Yards, Toronto Junction,
and the City Hall, Toronto, some in-
teresting facts are brought out bear-
ing on the live stock trade of the Pro-
vince. The combined receipts of cat-
tle, sheep, and calves at the two mar-
kets during the year 1901 amounted to
429,161 head, the Junction receiving
91,665 and Toronto 337,496 head. The
receipts this year compared with last
show a falling off in all lines. Up to
the end of October, 1904, the combined
receipts at the two markets amounted
to 344,961 head ; for the same period
this year receipts were 325,144, a fall-
ing off of 19,817, or five and one-half
per cent.

-The report of the Provincial In-
spector of Insurance gives statistics
of the friendly societies registered by
the province. The 27 societies giving
life insurance had a total membership
of 262,764. The insurance in force on
Dec. 31st was $1,584,683,326. During
the vear 0,326,979 was paid in insur-
ance. The total assets were $15,209,-
357, and the liabilities $1,687,638. The
73 societies giving sick and funeral
benefits had 74,861 members. There
were 1502 deaths, and $62,845 was paid
in funeral benefits. The number of
members who drew sick benefits was
22,809, and the sum paid them was
$472,741, while $68,279 was paid for
medical attendance. The total assets
were $1,701,153 and the liabilities only
$22,854.

-The Huntingdon Gleaner, one of
the most independent Liberal news-
papers, says :-Sir Frederick Borden,
Minister of Militia, has an article in
an English periodical describing what
Canada is doing in military matters,
and stating it will spend during the
current year eight million dollars on
red -cloth and pipe -clay. His plea,
which be repeats - over and over, for
such an enormous expenditure, is that
Canada is a country worth defending,
Why does he remain silent as to who
it is we are to defend it against? Af-
ter pottering, page after page, about
defending Canada, why not tell who
is going to be its assailant? Sir Fred-
erick dare not speak out, for he knows
full well there is nobody menacing
the peace of Canada, nobody thinking
of attacking it, and that he keeps up
a booby -scare to increase an expendi-
ture that is pure graft for those who
pocket it. Why do the electors not
wake up and stop this •fooling away
of millions on an absurd military es-
tablishment ?
--Governments always have an ad-
vantage in newly -organized communi-
ties and under new conditions. In
the first election after Confederation
Ontario gave a majerity to the Corn
servative Government in the Domin-
ion and the so-called coalition Govern-
ment in Ontario. In a few years both
Governments were defeated. The at-
tempt to make the Provincial Govern-
ment subordinate to the Government
at Ottawa may be expected to Succeed
at the outset, when all the machinery
is centralized ; but the advantage is
only temporary, Nothing can be
more absurd than to suppose that any
question of Liberalism or Conserve.•
tisin or any question of principle is
settled by these victories, They rep.
resent the advantage of et,ntlalizrrd
power on the one side, and on the
other the natural tendency of new
communities to look with awe on the
central authority. [Toronto Newt.
PROBABLE LEGISLATION.
The Ontario Government, it is said,
will have a full program of legislation
for next session of the Legislature.
Among the subjects to be considered
are :-
Changing the methods of adminis-
tration and management of the Uni-
versity of Toronto.
Amendment of the mining act,
Amendments to the educational act,
which will effect both the public and
the high schools. -
The creation of an electric railway
commission, or extension of the pow-
ers of the Railway committee..
Defining the permrtnent system re-
garding allowance or gratuities to
civil servants.
Changes in the agriculture and arts'
act respecting the control and conduct
of agricultural exhibitions.
A measure looking to the extension
of the forest reserves.
The adoption of a definite policy in
regard to the water powers of the
province.
Acts granting aid for the develop-
ment of the tobacco industry and
farm re -forestry.
A county council bill reverting to
the old principle whereby county
councils were composed of representa-
tives of the municipal councils.
A measure of law reform, and im-
portant changes will be made in re-
gard to procedure, particularly in re-
spect to applications for private legis-
lation.
*
-Iii discussing the anxiety display-
ed by Canadian Governments to win
in all bye -elections, the Canadian
Magazine says editorially :"There is
an insensate desire to win, to win al-
ways, to prove that your opponents
at'e fools even though they are among
the best citizens in the land. It is
ludicrous, It is elementary in its con-
ception. It is entirely destructive of
those high principles of political con-
duct which have made British public
life the most admirable and valuable
political product of a political age."
This mad desire to win at all hazards
is the dominant feature in Canadian
sports as well as Canadian politics and
is certainly a matter for regret. It is
a sentiment that makes us become
poor losers. If we are defeated in
politics or if we lose in sport, some of
ns seem to feel as though the bottom
of the universe had fallen out and that
life was not worth living. It is a fool-
ish thing to take defeat too much to
heart. Somebody must lose, and if
we play the game to the best of our
ability we are doing well. In any
case defeat is not dishonor and we
will get along just about the same,
win or lose,
