"The Canada of 1896 was vastly dif-
ferent from the Canada of to -day. The
population of the Oenada of that day
was 5,086,061. We have not the exact
population of to -day, we have to take
it approximately, but a proper ap-
proximate statement is 5,528,847. The
increase in population is not so great
as we would like, but in that respect
wo are. making up for lost time, a i
4 -ie population is likely to increa
ach more rapidly than formerly. In
196 we received 16,833 immigrants. In
303 we received 128,361. In 1896 we had
a revenue on consolidated fend of $36,-
618,590. In 1903 that revenue amount-
ed to $66,034,103. Iu the year 1886, there
were sales of public lands in Manito?;

A Campaign of Insult.
(Montreal Herald.)
The Toronto Mail and the Montreal
Star continue to interpret Sir Wilfrid
Laurier's demand for treaty -making
powers as the beginuiug of a campaign
for separation from Great Britain. They
blame Sir Wilfrid for having assented to
the formation of a tribunal that did not
have three Canadians upon it, and argue
that if Canada has any complaint to
make Laurier is the man to blame.
They couyeniently ignore, of course, the
trifling circumstance that when Sir
Wilfrid assented to the formation of the
tribunal it was to be made up of "impar-
tial jurists"; that when the three Amer-
ican commissioners were appointed Sir
Wilfrid protested; that Lord Onslow
confessed to being stupefied by the Amer-
icau appointments, but declined to inter-
vene; and that while Sir Wilfrid was
still conferring with his colleagues as to
what ought to be done about it, the trea-
y was signed and ratified without their
knowledge. Therein is the critical fea-
ture of the whole business. Canada is
induced to assent to_a jndical tribunal,
and a political commission is arranged
for behind her back. The Prime Minis-
ter is blamed by the Opposition leader,
by the Mail and by the Star for this re-
sult, and yet, when he asks to be given
the power that alone would obviate
such a difficulty in the future, he is
accused of working for separation.

Mr. Geo. C. Robb, boiler inspector re-

Inspector Robb's report was read as
follows : —
Brussels, Nov. 6th, 1903.
To Wingham School Trustees
Gentlemen,—I have the honor to re-
port that I visited your school on Nov-
ember 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th. The rooms
were clean and comfortable, and none
was overcrowded. Forty is about the
right number of pupils for a public
school room. The question of increased
accommodation should engage the atten-
tion of the School Board at once. The
work of the school is perfectly satisfac-
tory. You have an excellent school.
Mr. Musgrove and the other teachers
well deserved their increased salaries.
I am, gentlemen,
Your obedient servant.
D. Robb.
On motion of Messrs. Griffin and
Abraham, the reports of both Inspectors
were received and filed.
Moved by R. A. Douglass, seconded
by Thos. Abraham, that owing to the re-
moval of Wm. Button to Toronto, his
seat at this Board be declared vacant—
Carried.
The teachers and officers salaries were
ordered to be paid on motion of Messrs.
Douglass and Lloyd.
The question of providing more accom-
modation was left in the hands of the
Property committee to report at next
meeting and the Board adjourned.
Consumption Decreasing.
The statistics kept by the Ontario
Board of Health indicate strongly that
consumption is decreasing. The returns
for 1899 showed 3,405 deaths; 1900, 3,484;
1901, 3,243 and 1902, 2,691. 'These in-
clude every disease returned as consump-
tion, many cases being of childreu under
three months of age who have died of
various kinds of wasting diseases, though
not of tuberculosis. Tuberculosis re-
turns show even a more decided decrease.
In 1901, they were 2,286; 1902, 2.164,
and up to the end of September, 1903,
they were 1,597; which, taking an aver-
age will make 1,996 for the year. Dr.
Bryce, Provincial Medical Health Super-
intendent, ascribes the decrease to the
noticeable increase iu public education
and the greater care being encouraged
by doctors on the part of patients.
All ,Stuffed Up
That's the condition of many sufferers
from catarrh, especially in the morning.
Great difficulty is experienced in clear-
ing the head and throat.
No wonder catarrh causes headache,
impairs the taste, smell and hearing,
pollutes the breath, deranges the stom-
ach and affects the appetite.
To cure catarrh, treatment must be
constitutional—alterative and tonic.
"1 was III for four months with catarrh
in the head and throat, Rad a bad cough
and raised blood. I had become dis-
couraged couraged when my husband bought a bottle
of Hood's Sarsaparilla and persuaded me
to try it. I advise all to take it. It hu
cured and built me up." Mss. Mos Ru-
