Profit and Loss- The war in Sbuth Africa is really over, though the news seems almost too good to be true, and some statistician has already figured out the lossâ€"and ‘profit. On the British side there were; Killed or died from wounds or disease, 13,063-oflicers and 21,138 men;:total, . 22,201 :' sent home invalided, 3,030 of~ ficer and 70,942 men ;,1 total 73,972. The Boer loss is not accurately known, but up to the end of last year it is sup- posed to have been about 25,000. About 70,000 of them are said‘ to have been engaged in the campaign. but when ,peaee was declared only 8,000 remained :in thefield, 40.000 being prisoners at ~Ceylon, St. Helena, Bermudazand the Cape. The cost in money to Great Britain isâ€"estimated at $250,000,000“, ,but, as some sort of an offset to this ‘enormous expenditure, she is much rich- ,er in real estate, having acquired 1367:;- 465 square miles of territory, an area equal to all the New Eboland States, New- E'orls and Pennsylvania ;‘ so, you see, the Einpire has not only been saved, but enlarged also. Howevur much this- cnlargement may please Imperialism; it will give no satisfaction at all to the soldiersvwho lost their lives in achieving; it, and mighty little to their“ widows- and orphans. That it will‘ not afford any great degree ol gratification-to the Boers, who lost the- territory that Brit- ain has gained, may be taken for grant- ed; but who cares what they like or don’t like, anyhow? Besides. haven’t; have a better form. of governmentâ€"for “ Outlanders,’." at any rate â€"than they ,had before the war i“ The Cazmdt'nn Socialist; published in Toronto, says: “ Some of the boys are struggling man- 0. S." Willi be promptly denounced as pro-Boer. The truth is, both belligery cuts were heartily tired of the struggle, ' and the good oflices of King Edward in bringing it. to-anend cannot be too high- and the British people were aghast at thelrightful outpouring of blood and money; and so the King “ put his foot down ” and insisted that the practically vanquished Boers should be offered terms which they would be likely togac- cept, and which were no doubt for bet-. ter than they would have get if they had. not. fought so long and so bravely. ~~ Kawartha Lakes: The Bob. Ind. says :‘ “The pleasure-loving world'has, for long years, been brought in contact with -1he M uskoka region,.and. as a-place for summering, it has been a name to con- jure with throughout this continent, but Kawartha has been, for the most part, passed by, no doubt 0n account_of the fact that it is just a little out of the highway of public travelâ€"a fact which will appeal. to those who are looking for some spot where they may be free from the grind and roar of business. It is true that many have found out this summer paradise, but only a‘few when compared with the thousands who an- nually summer in ether places which peasess no such attractions and benefits.
