—The question of the dissolution of
the union of Norway and Sweden will
he submitted to a vote of the people.

• Belgium is the most thickly popu-
lated country in the world. In 1901 it
had 7,074,910 inhabitants, or 022 to the
square mile—that is almost one to
every acre.
•
—The Chicago and Alton Railroad
has recently had installed the De For-
est Wireless Telegraph System on
some of its trains running between
St. Louis and Chicago. The president
of the company says, "By this system
the dispatcher will be able to reach
any train on any part of the division
whenever he pleases. No matter
what the weather conditions it will
be impossible to have a collision, as
the operators on every train will
know the exact whereabouts of every
other train on the road."

—During the year ending June 30th
the immigrants arriving in the United
States, for the first time in the history
of the country, passed the million
mark. This is an inc: ease of 214,551
over last year's total, and of 170,375
over the highest previous. total—that
of 1902-03. Four times as many aliens
were landed last year as were landed
in 1893-94, or 1894-95, and this in spite
of the fact that the inspection laws
have been made more stringent, and
tests of illegibility not thought of a
decade ago have been invented and
applied.
.*
—This year, while Manitoba added
433,177 t acres to the area under grain,
roots, etc., only 231,353 acres of the in-
crease went to wheat, the remaining
201,824 acres of the increase going to
other crops. While the Territories
increased their wheat area this year
17' per cent., they increased their oat
area 18 per cent. and their barley area
nearly 11 per cent. The North-west
Grain Dealers' Association computes
the area under the various grains in
Manitoba and the Territories as fol-
lows :—Wheat, 4,018,000. acres ; oats,
1,423' ,000 acres ; barley, 433,800 acres ;
flax, 34,000 acres.

—Should Japanmake up her mind
to ask $1,500,000,000 indemnity, and
that perhaps would not be considered
too much, Russia. would simply have
to pay it or get a. worse dose later on.
That sum is a very large amount how-
ever. In Canadian silver coins it
would weigh about 107,150,000 Troy
pounds. A good counter working ten
hours daily and counting sixty dollars
a. minute could, if he took the periods
of rest, count it in a little less than 133
years. It is a big stun to think of ; a
crushing penalty to have to pay for
being beaten on sea and land, to say
nothing of the cost of the war to
Russia."

—The Hamilton Herald (Indepen-
dent) refers to the salary grab in this
way :—"Not since 1873 has a session of
of the Dominion Parliament been
brought to a close amid such general
disgust and resentment as prevails
throughout the country. Canada has
a bad taste in her mouth. It is not
too Pouch to say that the Canadian
people generally are ashamed of their
representatives in Parliament, who, in
the face of an overgrown and rapidly
growing expenditure, eagerly and ex-
peditiously voted some three hundred
thousand dollars a year into their own
pockets—the equivalent of ten million
dollars on the public debt."
—The end of August or the begin-
ning of September will see the Tariff
Commission begin its work. The time
and place of sittings have not yet been
arranged hut will be announced short-
ly and the Government wants all per-
sons interested to have their cases
ready and their facts sure as there is
likely to be a good deal of cross-exam-
ining. The cotnmission will hear in-
dividuals as well as organized bodies,
sueh :ts fax associations, boards
of trade, mamifaeturers' associations,
fishermen's unions, miners' associa-
tions, etc. Ail communications re-
specting the inquiry should be dived -
tail to Mr. John Bain, Assistant Comn-
nrissioner of Customs, Ottawa, who is
to act as secretary.

•--The Listowel Banner (Liberal) .
says :—"The $1,000 inerease to mon-
here and Senators is an outrage.
:llaity of these fellows are dubs who
0(mld not earn $250 at home, and to
pay them all $2,500 is to work the
graft game Mather too *Wolk, The
Senators are clear in a salary of noth-
ing a year, :tad board themselves, and
iusteati of nearly doubling their in-
demnity the whole thing should be cut
off. The excuse �cuse given for the grab is
the increased length of the session --
bat who is to blame for this but them-
selves ? The country would be much
better off rwithottt their never-ending
fool talk, but the country will not
only have to put up with it, it seems,
but pay double rates for it into the
bargain,"
—The New York Witness says : In.
New York alone two millions and a
half dollars per month it) wages arcs
lost to the wage-earners by the strike
in the building trades, quite apart
from the injury done to that business
and to other businesses. One result
noted is the increasing procession of
disrom.aged and dejected nen, women
and children who present themselves
nightly for the dole of free bread at
the New York bakery. At the sante
time, deposits in the savings banks
are being rapidly withdrawn, while
the prospect of a. coming hard winter,
when work in many lines must neces-
sarily be suspended, gives rise to the
most gloomy apprehensions. Capital
and labor are urged to get together
and end these pitiful conditions, but
so far each party regards the demands
of the other as intolerable. Such is
industrial civil war, as wasteful and
bitterly cruel to the innocent as any
war could be.
•
—Mr. S. T. Bastedo, Deputy Com-
missioner of Fisheries, has issued his
report for 1904. Notwithstanding
that the season was late in opening,
being frain two weeks to one month
later than usual, owing to the long
and extremely severe winter of 1903-04
it is gratifying, Mr. Bastedo says, to
report that the fishermen have had a
very prosperous year, judging from
the returns, which show that the
catch was 2,815, 705 pounds greater
than in 1903. Prices for all kinds of
fish have ruled high. The total quan-
tity of fish taken was 24,009,970 lbs.,
the estimated value of which was
$1,973,229. Licenses to fish with 3,490-
030 yards of gill net, 514 pound -nets,
473 hoop, 120 seines, '75 deep nets and
3 machines, besides several thousand
hooks, have been issued. Fishing has
given employment to 3,125 men and
128 tugs, and 1,477 other boats have
been in use. The number of prosecu-
tions were somewhat fewer than dur-
ing the previous year.
***
—In this peripd of long Parliamen-
tary sessions it is interesting to know
that the House which discussed and
settled Confederation met on Febru-
ary 3, 1805, and dispersed, with its
work concluded, on March 10. It took
just five weeks to put the Confedera-
tion business through. They were
more rapid in those days than the
Parliamentarians of the present era
are. The vote on the Confederation
question was 91 to 33. Thus the pro-
posal carried by a majority of 58.
But, while the measure was, as we
would say to -day, rushed through,
it mast not be forgotten that it was
very fully discussed before it reached
the Parliamentary stage, and that the
members were merely voicing views
that had already been promulgated
either on the platforms or through the
press. After Parliament had taken
action the principal members of the
Government hastened to England to
have the proposal embodied in an Im-
perial Act—the British North America
Act which we now hare. This meas-
ure was passed on March 8, 1866.
•
—The following * interesting item
from the Technical World illustrates
the wonderful progress that has been
made in electric traction in the past
few years :—The recent delivery to
the New York Central Railroad of
several eighty-five ton electric locomo-
tives capable of hauling heavy trains
at the rate of seventy-five miles an
hour, for use on the -forty-five mile
run between (.Croton and the Grand
Central station in New York City, is
the practical answer to the old-time
objection that the electric 'system was
too costly, and the perfection of the
electric locomotive too remote, to con-
stitute a practical commercial issue.
Taken in conjunction with proposed
electric equipment of the leased South
Shore line, which parallels the New
York Central to Buffalo, and the pro-
posed creation of a gigantic system of
trolley transportation throughout the
State by the absorption of all electric
roads that interfere with local traffic,
in order to stake them feeders -of the
main line this incident calls attention
to one of the most significant develop-
ments of the industrial life to -day.
*�*
—This is how the Weekly Sun views
the increase in indemnity to members
of Parliament :—With the indemnity
placed at $2,500, one great evil will at
once follow—the creation of a class of
professional politieians. Two thou-
sand five hundred dollars for a mem-
ber of Parliament is not an indemnity
against loss; it is a salary. Once the
position is made a salaried one it be-
comes the sante as any other salaried
position—a goal for men who propose
making it a means of livelihood. Pro-
fessional politicians are not represen-
tatives of the people; the only real
representatives are those coining from
the ranks and going back to their
regular avocations when the period of
public service iv over. Another evil
following the increage, if that increase
is permitted to remain, will he that
popular government will be made un-
duly r-
dul burdensome, The increnSe ltl
the allowances at. Ottawa is bad
enough in itself but it is merely a first
step. There Will follow a demand for
an inct'ease in the indemnity of ment-
hol* of the Legislature end a clamor
for more even froin the township anti
county councils, Absolutism would
be less costly aunt sprite as representa-
tive as a system of government with
professional politicians as legislators,
and with salaries instead of indemni-
ties attached to each office,

—The report of Asylums for the
Insane for Ontario for 1904 has been
issued. It shuws that during the year
ending September 30th, 1904, the num-
ber of lunatics admitted was 876 and
of idiots 82, a total of 958. During the
previous year the number of lunatics
admitted was 820 and of idiots 09, or a
total of 889, thus showing an increase
of 69 admissions during 1904. During
the past twenty years there has been
a total of 10,001 patients admitted to
the asylums, or an average of 803 each
year. A question of ever -recurring
interest to all classes of society is that
of the increase in the numbers of the
insane, when compared with the in-
crease in population. From the sta-
tistics given in the report, it is shown
that there were in 1884 eight insane
persons to every 5,000 of the popula-
tion, and that in 1904 there are 14 per-
sons to every 5,000 of the population.
If there were little or no change in the
ratio, it might be assumed that there
was no reliable evidence of its in-
crease, but the increase, is so great
that there is only one conclusion to be
arrived at, and that is, that, whatever
be the cause, insanity is increasing in
Ontario more rapidly than the popula-
tion. The cost of maintenance of
these institutions for the year 1904
was $700,700.97, and the total cost
since Confederation $15,732,433.44.
