PrOp FEB 98s' t 1 19011 PEPOld-If SPELLIN (1 The Toronto World is eadeavoriug to introduce to Canadian writers the; list of words with siinplilloa sPelhog adopted at 'Washington. in Suly, 189S. thedireetors of the National minea- tint!.

While the World stands alone among Canadian journals the refoian nevertheless is worthy of considera- tion and adoption. Because a whole lot of useless ancl meaningless letters have been attached to words and used in ages prist is no reason in these days of progress that the thing should be continued, The World commenting., on the strbject says: This is too practical an age to consent to be handi-capped forever by the im- pediments to learning that all of us have to put up with. Surely in this twentieth century men will not carry crutches when they can MON' e aboat so much more quickly wi thout thew. Our clumsy-, burdensome and unscientific system of spelling cannot long with- stand the influence ofthe clean-cut, scientific methods of the new era up- on which we have just entered. If for DO other reason, reformed spelling is certain to be adopted because of its economy. We spend over $600,000 a it year in Toronto school system. Fully one-fourth of this sum is wasted iti teaching the pupils the intricacies of an unnatural and useless system of spelling. GENERAL POLITICS. A movement more far reaching in its effects than appears on the surface is on foot among the professional politic- ians which the public had better watch. As usual it has money for its basis and more money or something else behind it. The Senators and members of the House of Commons receive a sessional allowance of $1000 per annum with ten cents per mile travelled additional. The Ministers each receive $7000, which, with $1000 for the session as members, makes their annual income $8000. The Premier gets $8000, which, with his allowance, nets $9000. These sums make a yearly charge on the cost of legislation, bringing it up to a nice snag figure on which genius, as represented by each Minister and member of it starves may at least starvewith considerable respectability-, if not luxury. These figures were fix- ed. at Confederation at the time when the salary of the Governor General was made $50,090 per annum and are supposed to be in proper proportion to it. At the beginning of Confederation the Liberals, then in opposition, m :de many a point and carried more than one rural constituency on the score of heir extravagance and sharnefid waste of public funds. The general reply was, it may be too much now, but the country will grow richer and after a while things will balance themselves. Once or twice since that time attempts, more or less successful, have been made to increase the allowance of members and Senators when the ses- sion, owing to the protracted_ opposi- tion of the Liberals,then sitting on, the left of the speaker, has been unduly lengthened. But it was never a popu- lar measure. More than one political speaker admitted that the House might have risen weeks before had they worked as public corporations were obliged to ‘vork. Now we are inform- ed a scheme is on foot to outdo any- thing ever before attempted in this line. The Premier $20,000, Cabinet Ministers in proportion and Senators and Commoners $1500 ,each. One can see that a force is in dead earnest be- hind this. Boards of trade here and there are passing resolutions lookirg to this end. But the Mali & Empite wants to know who is behind it all and what share Or office will the pro- moter have? We may well ask. Paid Parliaments have resulted in creating the professional politicians a class dangerous to the public weal and to increase the pay will not remedy the disease. But there is one other fea- ture tacked on this scheme. It itS to pay a certain sum anntially to the leader of the Opposition. Take It all in all the pill is a sugar-coated one, but the country is not in need of such med- icine just now. Why hot, pay Liberal members $1500 a year and Conserva- tives only $500? This would balance tip nicely and serve the Tories right for being Tories. We patent this idea now and claim a royalty on it But, seriously, this is no time for any such `measure. We are nearer hard times than many imagine and wise men 'shorten sail when they see a breeze coming. Will our Ontario :rulers do this?

' * * A bulletin just issued by the Ontario Government gives a large batch of correspondence from farmer''s in Vari- ous parts of the province on the hired help question. It is reported in many instances that both hired men and domestic servants are scarce. The men go west, where they can get higher wages; the girls flock to the towns and cities. Many correspon- dents say that it is becoming imprac- ticable to carry on large farms in Ontario oh account or the difficulty of obtaining help. Many of the school boards have not tulopted Inc cash book for school treas. prepared by the Provincial rtuditor, un- der the ;tuthority of chapter 228, R.S. O., 1897. EVery school board of any city or town which refuses or neglects to procure books, in accordanee with the system pi os will be littble to a p00 .11b of $50, and every other school bo:trd will be liable to it 1100 of $25 for every month it is in default. It is ad- mitted by all that the school accounts are usually kept in a very loose style, and the proposed system is similar to that adopted by the municipalities which is working so satisfactorily. * The most radical finti-eigarette mea- sure yet proposed is now under con- siderittion in the Minnesota Legisla- ture, having been introduced by Sena- tor Httiverson, one of whose constitu- ents receetly died f-rorn smoking too many cigarettes. The pi °posed bill is modelled on the Tennessee law, .which the United States Supreme Court hits held to be constitutiontd, and makes it a misclemeetnor to use tobacco in this formbars merch;rnts from bringing: - cigarettes into the state, makes giv- ing away cigarettes on equally- grave:of- fense, and even protibits the sale of papers used in rolling cigarettes.

The fighting re- cord began in 1702 with the war of the Spanish succession, which cost 262,500,000. The Sp;inish War of 17:39 ;:bsorbed 251,000,000 before it was Settled at Aix -la Chippelle nine yerris hiter. The Seven Year's War cost, R112,000,000 and the American War cost Z136,000,000. Most expensive of all was the French revolutionztry war, begun in 1793. It we extend the re- trospect back to 1688 and up to 1815 we find there were in that period 62 years of peace and that the 65 years of war cost 22,023,000,000. The in ger item in the . vast total Was, of course the campaign against Bona- parte, which in 12 years cost R,1,150,- 000,000. RAISING THE RATES. The Canadian Fire Underwriters' Assochttion met in Toronto last week a,nd as a resalt the insurance rates will go np. This is a result of the great loss sustftined by the compttnies in con- nection with the Ottawa,Montretil and other great fires recently. An entire- ly new system, of letting is to be. made. There will be no fiat rate over a dis- trict, but erich risk will he judged on its merits, and advances will be inttde not only on all hazardous risks, but on buildings in the neighborhood of such risks. All towns and cities that come under the jurisdiction of the Canadian Fire Underwriters' Association will be rated in this way, and the result, it is confidently expected, will be such an increase in the revenues of the com- panies as will repay them for the losses they have already suffered. The de- cisions arrived at will ttpply directly to Ontario and Quebec. The Montreal Butter and Cheese As- sociation throws out the following sug- gestion. Canada nmst go more large- ly into the manufacture of fancy but- ter, since ibis evident that we are now making Os tnany cheese as can be con - sir m ed in one season at profitable prices. There is abundant room for expansion in butter making, providing only the best quality is made. All hope of do - 11.0 export trade of any importance in dairy butter must be abandoned. Nothing but the hest creamery butter will sell freely and profitably. There is proof enough that fancy butter 000 be made in Canada, bill; in 0111 progress most yet be rinnle ere our average ena- Iity will ;;;tand as high as that: of Don - n:0010 ()I: Australia. We are espeeially hehind these countries in regard to packages.

A New York coroner is authority for the statement that there are ovee three thonsand bodies or strangers buried in that City which havd never been identified. Hundreds of them were interred as paupers, though they bore unmistakable marks of having been persons in good circumstances. In explanation it is stated that many go to the city on business or pleasure, are taken with illness, meet \vith ac- cidents, and die before they can com- municate with their friends or Make known their identity. Before their absence causes alarm sufficient time elapses to destroy all trace of them. As a means for establishing identity 01 all possible cases of this kind a bill is to be introduced into the state legis- lature for the formation of a bureau of identification in New York city the officials of which will be charged with the duty of having photographs taken of the unknown dead, They will also keep records of the appearance and clothing and place of burial of every- body. vr VANTED ORDERS.

(LW. Ross and 10 show that the.statement isnot an idle one,'I shall noint out how in One or two instances that Was done. He show- ed that in the revenue 01 1900 there was inclinled $030,000 bonus' received as hal- ahee on •the thobet' sale - held by the Government in ,Dec., :1899. In addi- tion there was an item Of 57000 ss hieh had. been received in the Common SchoolLand fund and another amount of $31,000 for. 'Drainage Debentures. None of these copld :be regarded as :or- dinary reven tie and this $677;000 should be deducted leaving the gross revenue at $3,515;000, which Hen. Mr. Ross had it placed at $4,192,000. In the same Way Col. Matheson showed how the expenditure had been Cooked: The actual expenditure 'mi.§ $3,803,000 and the deficit for the year 1900:Was $283:000' That is one example of ignorance of finances: Which the .prermer showed' and 'whieli Col. Matheson pointed Out mach: to the discomfiture of the Minis- terial benches. Space does' riot permit o general review of the financial con- dition of the province, nor is such a general review .necessary, for it has been d;scussed time after . When the Liberal administration first took the reins of power there was.a surplus of millions, but now there is a deficit of 111111101S. Besides an :this the re- sources of the penance have been :frit- teredaway to.saye the party from un- favorable -revelations. SO - unfavorable was the financial statement that Hon. G. W. Ross had to present that he dealt Yery sparingly with the figures and passed on With a great rush 'to the Government's policy and its promises. He was in his ele- ment as 2.11.1' ;IS the promise part of it was concerned. gillthat he said has been said before. The Ontario Govern - merit promises well, that the members are good promiSers. The new feature of the record of promises was in connec- tion with the proposed railway which is proposed Shall run front North Bay to Lake Temiseathing. As this qties- thin is likely :to .be heardof frequently again it might pot he out of place here to say a few words regarding it. There is a district of ,good agricultural land in the district of Tendscaming. It was there) where the Liberaladministra- tion came .into power Years: age but the Department Of Crowh Lands has justfound out at this late date when hundreds of people baYe gone to .the Western States and Manitoba. Why Aid they nOt 'find it oat before? Before Crown:Larids, heretofore, Were looked • upon by.the Government as timber larids which were to be disposed of to friends or squandered to make up the annual deficits: . • But this district is in'need ofat: road as the settlers in theNorth desire com- munication with the -outside world. The_district is 106 miles .frorn North ay. Mr. Ross in his speech said that ps the Government Would build leasing it intiine to the Gra k or other railway. .

The Ontario Goverinnent under- stands this. A survey of that read will take two years and that will tide the Government' Over' the next general election. . Therefore the Ontario Govannient will go to the. country When it has to, and grasping after the support of the 03 Vocate8 of : Goyennment ownership, they will give no alarm to the oppo, 'bents of GoveeriMent. : That is. the Story in brief Of the.
