The finan- cial scheme is on a much better basis than could reasonably have been ex- pected after such a war. ..* —The Ontario Government has un- der consideration the important ques tion of gratuities or superannuation allowances for civil servants. There are at the present time thirty applica- tions filed by members of the Govern- ment staff in all departments. The adoption of a permanent system of superannuation will be welcomed by every civil servant in the buildings, and the Cabinet is anxious on its part, to accomplish the scheme, --Tile Weekly Sun says : Mr. Haul- tain has not carried Saskatchewan but he has won a very substantial moral victory. To come so near win- ning, with the whole power of the Dominion Government and the newly formed Provincial Government against him, was equal to carrying the Pro- vince under fair conditions. More- over, time is on Mr. Haultain's side. What he failed to do last week he will accomplish in the near future. The last Premier of the old Territories will yet attain a higher place than he has yet held in Western politics, and in the broader field of the Dominion, he will be heard of ere many years pass. A* weight whatsoever in the nontina- tures or any of them, oro a to ora l an- nually by special tato on all the rateable pro - tions of judges of the higher courts in pY Su7 f, 1.1 0 Sti e To pawnymenoft of Wininteghamrest theon sum 0 or 1 Great Britain, and there are few Cabi- aebenrures, and the sum of $93.50 for the nets which would dare to offer nomi- nations for judicial preferment to law- yers in recognition of purely partisan services. Indeed, one often finds in the records of the past cases of the Conservatives appointing Liberals, and of Liberals nominating Conserva- tives to the bench, and so boundless is the belief of the Government and of the people in the absolute impartiality of the judges, that when the latter are called upon to determine contest- ed 'Parliamentary election cases no- body ever dreams of inquiring as to what political party they may have belonged. Eminence at the bar is the principal qualification demanded by the Government and by the people for promotion to the bench, —Hon. N. Monteith, Provincial Min- ister of Agriculture, has issued his first report, covering the year 1904. It contains a large amount of infor- mation of special value to farmers. but also of general interest to other members of the community. In re- spect to cattle for instance, the report shews that the total value of all cattle in the barnyards of Ontario farmers for the year 1898 was $47,286,254, whilst for 1904, in just six years, the value had grown to $72,821,003. The value of sheep during the same period, appears to have remained about sta- tionary, being $6,499,695. in 1898 and $6,425,100 in 1901. Bat hogs had in- creased from $8,720,242 in 1898 to $12,- 921,743 in 1904. These figures repre- sent the valve of the stock on hand, in addition to which there was sold or slaughtered, during 1904, cattle, $26,- 342,872 ; sheep, $2,896,391; hogs, $22,- 665,164. The average value of cattle had increased in the six years from $29.18 to $36.08, sheep from $3.70 to $4,22, and hogs from $7.44 to $10.12. There is no other industry in the country increasing in wealth so rapid- ly as farming, and the special branch of farming that appears to be making most headway is that covered by these reports. —An idea of how Saskatchewan was worked for the Liberals in the recent election is given in the confes- sion of one of the "workers" named Voll, who was arrested for buying votes and fined $100. He declared that the money with which he oper- ated had been given to him by John Gillespie, president of the Liberal As- sociation at Balcarres, in North Qu'- Appelle, where the Minister of Agri- culture, Hon. W. R. Motherwell, was a candidate. Gillespie was one of Motherwell's most active workers, and Voll was one of his most energetic assistants. He stated that Gillespie's instructions to him were to buy votes "as cheap as possible." —Provincial Secretary Hanna is do- ing good work along many lines. He has recently sent out instructions to Sheriffs—that hereafter boys under 16 when sentenced to jails, must be re- ported to J. J. Kelso, Superintendent of Neglected Children. This must be done the first day after each boy's ar- rival at the jail. With the report par- ticulars of the offence should be given. The object sought is to save young men from careers of crime by freeing them from contact with seasoned criminals wherever possible, as it is a fact well recognized that a sentence for some petty offence which boys not 'wholly bad do commit, has had the effect of making them criminals for lite. —Tile progress of the last one hun- dred ye'trs has been wonderful. In 1805 the world had not a single steatni er upon the ocean, a single mile of railway on land, a single span of tele- graph upon the continent, or a foot of cable beneath the ocean, In 1005 it has over 18,000 steam vessels, 500,000 miles of railway and more than 1,000,• 000 miles of land telegraph, while the very continents are bound together and given instantaneous communicar tion by more than 200,000 utiles of ocean cables, and the number of tele- phone manages sent aggregate 6,000 : EViL OF COMBINES. iI 1 i3 9 A The " Big Store " Wingham Ono. & d as. 1 herr . 1 I WIN .1 111 ill h r the payment of tof he debt herebytsecu ed, fund making 7 i all the sum of $161.00 to bo raised annually by special rate as aforesaid, during each of the said twelve years. 6.

The votes of the electors of the said Town of Wingham shall be taken on this By- law at the following times and places, that is to say, on Monday the first day of January, A.

The Clerk of the said Town of Wingham shall attend at the said Town Hall at eleven o'clock of the forenoon of Tuesday, the second day of January, A. D. 1906, to sum up the number of votes given for and against this By-law. bated at the Town Hall at the Town of Wiugham this fourth day of December, A. D. 1905. (Weekly Sun.) All combines that obstruct the free operation of the law of supply and de- mand, strike the people hard, but surely the combination that inflicts the hardest and cruellest blow is that which raises the price of the poor man's food. The combines that wind their tenta- cles around the grocery and provision trade are peculiarly of this character. A commission, with power to take evidence under oath, were it appoint- ed, would find testimony of a rather startling character as to what may be accomplished behind the shelter of a pretty high tariff in the way of rais- ingof foodproducts the prices by arbitrary methods until the cost is actually more than double that pre- vailing for the sante class of articles in large cities in the republic to the south, as well as what may be done in the employment of unscrupulous tactics to drive local competition out of the field. This is news that will not add to the contentment of the consuming classes with regard to the operations of these trade restricting organizations. It has often been complained that while wages have advanced -in recent years, they have hot been equivalent to the increase in the cost of the necessaries of life, The public are being rapidly enlight+ enca as to the cause of till., The in, quirles that have been made in Mon• treat strengthen the argument in fav- or of thorough investi investigation bya ag commission into the operations of the eombines whose etistence is no longer a matter of surmise. --mho newly -issued directory of London, Ont., places the population of the city at 4208.
