The Transvaal War. Late advices from the seat of war, rc- .port.that the British forces are making satisfactory progress, and that General Botha is anxious for peace, but that President Krugcrvstill remains obdurate. Although the endof'thc war isin sight, recent engagement at. Honing Spruit the British loss in killed and wounded was 37.5. Kruger-'5 entire nvnilahlc form.- is estimated at from 15,- 00010 20,000,. and correspondents are of the opinion that his sole idea. is to hold out until after the American Pres- identiul election ; and he is reported to have issued a proclamation announcing that Russia had” made war upon Japan and that Great Britain would have to help the Jhpanesc. Lord Robertsrcports that the rebellion in Cape Colony is over, the insurgents having laid down their arms and surrendered, and Gen- eralBaden-Powell says that the dis- (rice is now quiet. The Boar comman- dos in the eastern part of the Orange liver colony have been broken up into small parties that harass the British by incessantly culling oil; scouts, sniping pickets and'mnking a show of force hero and there. Lord Roberts’s columns are steadily contracting the circle of their advances, and telegrams from Pretoria say that supplies of warm clothing are reaching his infantry. who have been ragged audsuii'ering from. the cold.._ The Canadians are doing splendid outpost work. andthc Canada Mounted Rifles "have been given the post of honor in the ‘van of Lord Roberta’s army._ at- :1 A'. Brief Retrospect. â€"_.__\_ We began at Confederation with a trade of $131,000,000. There were various fluctations. but the general ten. dcncy was upward, and in 1883 the trade was 32305540000. or an increase 'of nearly a hundred millions in the first fifteen years of Cl’mfcderation. Af- ter1883 there was a falling 03' until .__‘.A__4l‘-â€"â€"â€"-...u a, good deal of fighting is going on. and i thing may tum up, they. hope, in. the laces; tlteprogrcss in the Territories is in like proportion, and it means a permanent growth which no- future dc. prossion can seriously effect, though of course-nu occasional unfavorable season may modify it temporarily. This is healthy natural. advancement, and not the artificial improvement which- results from the forced growth of'protection nurtured industries. A. Thankless Task. The Opposition is still in the lhroes of anxious uncertainty, costing about for a policy upon which to. appeal to the country, but with little promise of» a happy, issue out of all their afflictions. It is a thankless and unpromising task, this businessof bucking,r up against a Government which has established-clean honest administration. restored confi- dence to a harassed-business community, facilitated‘thc development ofthc natu- ral'wcalth of the country, enabled all classes of the people toavail themselves to the full of'the exceptional era of good Limes which has come to us, raised the Dominion from an obscure. little known and: seldom. considered portion of the Empire to the foremost place in the federation of English-speaking na- tions, and in a hundred other ways changed for the better the whole course of Canadian history ;-,doing-more fonthc country and its people in four years than their predecessors accomplished in five times that. period. To oppose a Government with such-arecord, would be discouraging under any circumstan- ces, but is particularly so just now, when every desperate 03011: to ferret out or concoct charges of: wrong doing have utterly failed, nnd‘cvcn legitimate criticism upon questions of policy which admit of difference of opinion fall upon the uninterested. eanof a satisfied and contented community. HOW eagerly the Tories. seize upon a rumor that the general elect-ions may not be held until the spring, and ihow devotcllly they are praying that it-ma'y be SO,‘ for some- meantime. rhe Paris-"Exhibitions. According-to all accounts. that are reaching us from across the water. Cans udn's exhihit at the Paris EXposition is one that reflects credit upon those who are responsible for its preparation and arrangement;-and; what is more im-. portant, one that will be of’immensc value inadvertising the vast resources and opportunities of the Dominion. It is well onlculntcdetormako the Dominion better known abroad, attract the attention of foreign capital to her natural wealth. of mineral andlum- her, and to illustrate the fertility of her soil and her capabilities for varied production. Two of the mostimportant exhibits in this respect are those’of forestry and mining. The golden wealth of British Columbia undethc ‘ Klondike has given the Dominion, a prominence among the gold-producing nations ,of the world which .is attracting >nll *' the greater interest.- becausc of its recent- origin. The nickel deposits of Sudbury. too, are creating a. keen interest, more particularly because the ~ other great nickel deposits of the worldâ€"theauincs ol. New Caledoniaâ€"are almost entirely in the hands of. French capitalists. The exhibit of.Caundian coal, too, is attract- ing much attention, pprticularly us at. the present time the price of Coal is very high in Europe. Canada's forestry ex-: hibitvis the largest and most. varied ‘ in the entire exhibition, andis‘ divided in- to three general groups:; (1) section of the principal. Canadian trees, sone‘ in the form.of<’l’ogs and some polished on one l'ace;-(2) six foot lengths of the 1892,, when (he figure of $241,369,000, chief Canadian woods, one-third.’polish- wasrcaohcd. In 1896 the trade was' $239,025,000. From that time the in- crease has been extraordinary. There "has been more growth in the last four years than in the first fifteen years of Confederation. While the imports of the country have been more than dons bled since Confederation, the exports have been trebled. That. this record of unprecedented increase may be mod- ified sooner or later goes without say- ingâ€"no reasonable man can, expect otherwise, but, let the future bring what it may, Canada can neverufall back to her old condition of stagnation. Better methods and sounder principles of trade have become firmly established. the old fallacies have been thoroughly discredit- l ed, and the ultra~protcclionist policy of the old Tory. regime has now few ad- herents, save in the ranks of those who were making themselves. rich under its fostering care at the expense of the com- munity. No better evidence of the per- manency of the improvement could be offered: than is given in the figures which record the increase in the acreage under cultivation inzManitoba. In 1890 there were 1,082,000 acres under tillage for all crops; in 1895 the total had risen to 1,887.796; while this year there are 2.- 612.134 acres, or an increase in ten years of 150 per cent. This is in the cd. one-third named, and r one-third in their natural'condition ; and (3) samâ€" ples of all the wood products of Canada, such as pails, boxes, implements, etc. Still".
