PIIALIBHER AND PROPaI&TOR THURSDAY. NOV. 20. 1902. NOTES AND COMMENTS Sir Wilfrid Laurier left Ottawa ou Monday last for Piot Springs,Va., where he will spend a few weeks for the benefit of his health. The Provincial Secretary reports a great increase in the amount received for fees for the incorporation of com- panies k Ontario. The fees for ten months this year have been $89.725, and it is expected the twelve months will total $105,000. Last year $88,643 was received in 12 months. In 1900 the amount was $78,997; iu 1890, $67,851 and in 1898 only $28,520. Dominion note circulation is the great- est on record. On Oct. 31 it aggregat- es $34;084,579, an increase of $1,135,000 for the month. A year ago there were in circulation $30,473,000 in Dominion notes anct two years ago $28,113,229. Of one and two dollar bills the ciircula- tion on the 31st ult. was $11,494,021, in four -dollar bills $976,271, in Dominion large notes $4,347,550,and in legal tender notes for banks $16,893,500. The prediction of Mr. W. T. R. Preston that Canada will have one hundred thousand immigrants next year seems reasonable. If the proportion of one-third from the United Kingdom, and one-third from the rest of Europe which he hopes for is maintaiued, it will also mean that the addition to our population from these sources will generally be of a good class. We want all we can get from Britain and the United States, especially if they have • some means. -Stratford Beacon. As the time for voting on the referen- dum for Provincial prohibition approach- es interest is increasing, says au ex- change, and many are the speculations as to the probable result of the vote. In 1894 the vote for prohibition was, in round numbers, 102,000; in 1898, 154,- 000; and the number now required to bring about the enactment of a prohibit- ion law is 213,000. It is to be noted. that .in 1894, when high-water mark was reached, the vote was on mnncipal elec- tion day, and was open to women voters on the municipal list. The coming vote will be on a day when no other issue is up to bring voters out; women voters will be excluded, and the total male voting strength is little if any greater than in 189.4. Ia the rural districts, it is stronghold of prohibition sentiment. it is probably less, and in urban centres, where opposition to prohibition is strongest, it is greater. However, both parties are now roused as they have never been before, and a full and PERSONALS, Mr. C. A. Campbell was in Toronto fur two days last week, Mr. Geo.

The following from an exchange is well to the point and very trne:--"The individual who satiates his vindictive ! spirit in the wilful and malicious de - estruction of property is a dangerous 1 enemy to any community, and the sooner lie is hunted down the better. Property is accepted as but a substitute for the individual at whom the blow is struck, and who knows when the villainous hands might be turned in a more serious direction, How often has the incendiary applied the torch that has branded hint a fiendish murderer." lv RQxETL R.

HER CHARMS. [S. E. Kiser] The clothes she wore a year ago Are out of style today; I thought her lovely then, but oh! Her beauty has increased; I trow She takes my breath away. The gown that was so swell last year, And which became her well, Would now look out of place and queer, Today the things she wears appear Too grand for tongue to tell. No matter what the mode may be, She gains in loveliness; Fine feathers make fine birds, bat she With every change it seems to me, Lends beauty to her dress. Without a rufle, bow or pad, My lady would be fair; Her beauty still would make me glad, 1 know full well, e'en if she had But what Eve had to wear. ° sire Stock h tiketse Toronto Nov. 18. -There was a fairly brisk trade at the cattle market today, considering a rather heavy run, consist- ing of 100 loads, with 1,662 head of cattle, 1,812 sheep and lambs, 873 hogs and 27 calves.
