If the troth were only known it would probably be found that the demon "ir'aft" which theOonservatives pretend to, see in Federal; affairs has a greater in- fluence on the administration of the Provincial Department of Laude and Mitres thea is for the public good. There are "friends" of the. Ontario Govern- ment, who could be named, who figure altogether too prominently in the con - corns of New Ontario, --Ottawa Free Press. ;The returns of revenue and expendi• tura for the, fiscal period of nine months, which closed March 31, have been prat• tically all received by the Finance De - payment, and it is, now possible to dater• mine the amount of the surplus for the last fiscal period. It is almost sixteen and a,half millions.IThe revenue amount- ed to $67,969,328, and the expenditures of revenue amount to $51,542,161, leaving a difference on the right side of the Government books of $16,427,167. The expenditure on capital account daring the period was $14,234,625, leaving $2,- 192,545 for the reduction of the Domin- ion debt. The statement is by all odds the most satisfactory in the history of the Dominion, The June estimatesof acreage made by the Provincial Departments of Agri- culture in Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta furnish an opportunity to make a calculation of the probable grain area in the west this '.fear. In Manitoba, it ie announced, there are 2,789.658 acres under wheat, as compared with 3,141,537 in 1006, a decrease of 351,984, in Basket ohewan the official revision of the figures published a few days ago makes the total area, ander wheat 1,966,774 acres, as compared with 1,730,586 in 1906, an in-, s raise of 236 1 There for Alberta S8 fi a s o A herrn have not yet been published, but the De- putyMinister of Agriculture, Mr. George Harcourt, expresses the opinion that there will be an increase of 50 per cent, in the acreage of winter wheat and 15 per cent. in that of spring wheat. Notwithstanding the very decided reverse sustained at the last general election in the Pravinoe, the Liberal party is rapidly recovering from the blow, and today" from one end to the other it is characterized by hope and elithnsiasm. Liberals who for various reasons satisfactory at the time to them- selves refrained from supporting the candidates of the party if even they did not go the length of voting against them, now realize the mistake they made, and are saying so by hundreds. They have discovered that, while Premier Whitney in his gratitude for the victory ac- knowledged that it was largely due to Liberals, he very soon forgot all about this phase of the campaign, apparently, and has acted and is now acting as an extreme partisan both in methods and in legislation.—Brockville Recorder. A, questionable judgment surely is that in the Bmmerson case, apparently countenancing (: o g newspaper attache upon_ She private character of p2blio men on the ground that they are made in the public interest, The public interest is very apt to mean in reality the interest or the animosity of a party and the cir- culation of the paper. As a general rule it is solely desirable that private charac- ter should be spared in the political fray. Something of course, depends on the nature of the charge. Is it of a kind directly affecting public integrity, as it would be if for example, it involved pecuniary fraud? Or is it simply a case fm ra[[mHelplHelpl Fallino 9 Thus cried the hair.

This allusion meat have been rudely dispelled after a re- cent speech of the Minister of Justice had Circulated throughout the country. First it was that the government had been false to public trust; and that grafting and rakeeoff were the order of the day in Liberal circles. . The Minis- ter of Justice, when he ruthlessly Dorn• wetted upon the findings of the Royal Commission on Insurance, and held up to public gaze. Hon. G. E. Foster, the chief aide of g verment, as a man who had profited by the use of trust funds, which he had planed in jeopardy by hazardous speculation, quickly turn• ed the attack and matters were plaoed in their true light before the people. Then individual members of the Lib• eral party were oalamniated and held up to derision. In response to this at- tack Mr. Aylesworth promptly respond- ed with an al usion to matters of history which were far from palatable to the Conservatives. The units of the Opposition have charged against the government all the sine in the calendar, of matey they have themselves been guilty. No person, however, has had the temerity to ghee• tion that as a result of sound policy and wise administration, Canada enjoys now, and has for years a degree of prosperity impossible tinder ,Conservative rale.

Sir William 14Culack was greeted et Victoria last week by a large gather-- • ing of members of the Canadian Club. to whom he spoke on the great future of the West in general and Victoria and Vancouver Island in particular, Speaking of the great scarcity of lab- or in all parts of Canada, Sir William • declared it was a good sign. Reading the press item regarding the vast re- ceipts of Lucerne, Switzerland, . he' pointed out that Switzerland with 5,000,000 people had no industries, no seaboard, nothing but scenery, and • prospered by nothing but the tourist trade. Vancouver Island, he declar- ed, was the Switzerland of America, for Switzerland had no finer lakes to. offer than those of Cowichan, Spoke, etc.; teeming with fish, while besides Vancouver Island and Victoria had groat natural resources, great fruit and agricultural possibilities, and had be- sides the broad Pacific at its door, Vic- toria's opportunities were greater than those of Lucerne. ' Of the future trade of the Pacific he spoke in glowing terms, and said' all the east looked with hope to Brit. ish Columbia, believing its future to be big with promise, Moreover, tai connection with Mexican trade, he pointed out the great market that' country provides. He had found Ox-,. ford county apples on sale in Mexico,. and they had netted the dealer one' hundred per cent. The Gehamtefee Railway, beside going from coast to coast, provided' with its auxiliary steamer, trades on the Atlantic and:. Pacific alternatively and is a competi- tive route to the 0. 1'. R., via the Gulf of Mexico. HIGH TRUCE OF GOO. Thus Campbell -Bannerman Describes Relations With U. S. Sir Henry Campbell -Bannerman, spetlking at Manchester, said they should be -thankful that Mr. Balfour has at last been brought into line on the question of colonial preference, but he might have refrained from col- lapsing in penitent form until the guests of the nation had returned home, and the movement to create dissensions between the Government and the colonies had been defeated. Sir Henry Campbell -Bannerman, quot- ing Sir Wilfrid Laurier, said that Eur- ope is Iiving in an armed. camp. He described d the 3,000 00 mi les of frontier between the United States and Can - ads and. contin ued• "What could be finer than this high truce of Goa-- (cheers)—under which the two free sister nations • have resolved to live within the security of. that defenceless barrier, to banish these symbols of strife, prejudice and suspicion, from their highway frontier? (Cheers.) Is the relationship so established less noble than those which subsist be- tween the nations of the old world, nations which still hug the ancient blasphemy that armed force is the only title to respect, the only guaran- tee of security? I think not. The new world has shown us a more excellent way. Heaven help these great confed- erations of free people. May they con- tinue to prosper, and to go on in all that makes for real strength of State, to maintain in all its radiance their bright example." (Cheers.) Average Wages in, Canada. The Census and Statistics Bureau has issued a bine book as to wage- earners in Canada by occupation c - cording to returns of the lastdecenllal census. The average yearly earnings at regular work of all classes of oc- cupations is $387.16 for males and $181.98 for females. Trade and trans- portation pays an average wage of $503.62 for every male employe. Pro- fessional men, including clergy, Gov- ernment employes, musicians, teach- ers, engineers, etc, earn $676.88 per year on the average. Average earnings of males employed in manufacturing, $403.14; in agriculture, $207.55 in'do- mestic and personal service, 4272.46. Of the whole number of wage-earners, 814,930, the males constitute 81.75 per cent., and tlxe-females 18.83 per cent.,; and, comparing the totals of all wage- earners of beth sexes by classes with, the -totals pf all classes, it is found that the 'agricultural class gives em- ployment to 8.93 pet cent., the do- mestie and personal class to 25.01 per cent., the fisheries class to 0.01, the forestry and lumbering class to 2.02 per cent., the manufacturing class to 33.83 per cent., the mining class to 2.93 per cent,, the• professional class , to 6.34 per cent., and the trade and, transportation class to 10.37 per cent.

Cigarettes a Fatal Handicap to Students In an address on cigarette smoking to the sohotars of St James' Sandsy School On Sunday, J E Dtokson, prin3ipal of Orillia Oolle„ sate Institute, made some striking statements .He said that in Ins twenty-eight years' expsrienoe as a teacher he had never known a boy ad- dicted tooi aretGa smoking to be a snc- oessful student. He could n?t reoall an O h exception t r 1 the rale, . It a bay did well the first year, and then fell off in his studies, he at once suspected that he had begun to smoke cigarettes if he knew of no other cause. V As a rule this turned ons to be right, atia indications soon began to show fa, the face and on the hands, as well as in arrested mental ao- • tivity, Cigarette smoking was absolute- ly incompatible with mental develop- ment. The charaoteristic of the cigar- ette smoker was stolid stupidity, from which no spur could arouse him. This is strong testimony from one who has had exceptional opportunities for obser- vation. adve Stools Markets Toronto, July 9—The ran at the City Cattle Market to -day was 60 loads, with 860 head of cattle, 1,275 sheep and lambs, 300 hogs, and 402 calves. • Trade wee good, and altogether a fair ' 'steady market 'to -day, with prioea generally lirmall round. The run waea light, and there was a good demand for the Ideal butoher trade. Stocks in the hands of the wholesale men are light, and there were therefore plenty of buy- ers for all good botcher cattle to be had. While the market was steady to firm there was no actual enmity, and every- one seemed to be about supplied, but there was very little left over, the mar- ket being petty well cleaned up at a comparatively early hoar.
