RUSSIAN' TROUBLE

The latest phase of the trouble in l

the east has hardly been made sutli-

al idea that the differences between the powers in the east has become chronic and is likely to continue as the eastern question in Europe didl for half a century, frequently darken- ing the horizon with threatening clouds and possibly breaking into open war. _

The chronic trouble may be said to

have begun with Russia`s arbitrary interference in the settlement' be- tween Cliina and Japan at the close of the war of 1894 The first series of aggressions ended with China being practically compelled to lease Port Arthur to Russia as a commer- cial terminus for the Siberian Rail-

came a practical cession and with this came the Russian occupation of north eastern China. Subsequent

‘audacious encroachments are but the entering wedge of Russia’s schemes for controlling the commerce of the

Chinese Empire.

The immediate cause of the pre-

sent critical relations may be briefly stated.-Last month it was announced

EDITORIAL NOTES-

The twenty ninth of September,

the date ofthe plebiscite, comes on the day of' the full moon, and con- sequently at- a time of high tide. \Vhether this forshadows a tmal wave in favor of prohibition, or that the opponents of prohibition will be un- usually “full” on that date, remains to be seen.

Toronto Globe proposes a world’s

fair to be held in 1901, in the Ontario capital. As the world’s fairs of Philadelphia, London, Paris and Chicago were all run at a big loss, it may be questioned whether itwould be advisable for Canada to entei' the list with the almost certain prospect ofa still bigger deficit. Canada has

no city large enough for a. world’s fair.

Interest is growing both in Canada

and the States in regard 'to the com- ing tariff to be fixed for Cuba and Porto Rico. It seems not yet set- tled whether at the outset there is to be free trade between Porto Rico and the United States. Cuba will probably have a separate tariff in which the United States will have a preference. There is a pretty general impression that Canadian trade with the late Spanish ' West Indies, notably in fish, will be less favorably conditioned than heretofore.

The British army consists of G59,-

500 otiicers and men. Of these 74,-500 are paid for by In lla." There are also 47,000 men in the colonies

force of 538,000 men in the United Kingdom. Of these the regular troops' number slightly under 100,000, the reserves 82,000, the militia 114,- 000_ the yeomanry 10,000, and the volunteers 230,000. The total cost of all the British forces at home and abroad is a little over $115,000,- 000 a year. A regular costs annually $415, a reservist $50, a militiaman $73.50, and a 'volunteer $27.50-

Down to the close of the Civil War

in the States no value was attached to cotton seed, and now it is a source of nearly as large receipts to the cotton growers as the cotton itself. Recent investigations tend to the belief that a valuable part of the great corn crop of America has been in like manner wasted. As the re- sult of recent investigation aud ex- periment it has been demonstrated that corn cobs when ground up with the corn. Corn and cob meal has been proven to fatten steers about equally as well as corn meal alone. In a word millions of tons of valuable cattle food have been annually wasted by rejecting the dispised cobs. -

Hou Mr Fisher, minister of -Agri-

culture,is being criticised for having stated in an interview with a London paper that “Our making of wine is as yet only in the experimental stage, but we hope to make something of it.” As is well known there is a quantity of wine produced in Western Ontario, to which Mr Fisher probably refers. None of the prominent political pro- hibitionists of Canada have escaped ike criticism Sir Leonard Tillev,
