Wilfrid Laurier has been entrusted with the writing of the second number, while he is busy with the preface (for he can hardly be expected to produce more than the preface during the life of the present Parliament), it would be Well if Canadians would take stock of their country. They should ascertain if pos sible why their country harbors side by side millionaires and mendicunts. That she does this is a fact. and there is a reason for every fact. Ours is a goodly heritage. The sun shines on no fairer nor more. bountiful laud than “this Canada of ours." She is beautiful be- yond compure. Pestilence never or rarely taints her breath. She hides within her bosom unfold treasures. Are Canadians industrious 7 Truly they are. Are they honest? They are un- rivalled in that respect. Are they skil- ful ? None surpasses them. Are they intelligent in legislation and Statecraft? Canadians, look at. New Zeulund and answer. - New Zealand, as the reader is aware, is a British colony. Her Governor is appointed by the home Government. but possesses no veto power over colonial legislation. The affairs of the colony are managed by a most democratic cen- tral Parliament, and five hundred local governing bodies. Its population ol 690,000 possesses 1,300 postolfices and 1,400 free public schools, and wurship< iu1.600 churches. Education, which is compulsory, is purely secular, no re- ligion of any kind whatever being taught in the schools. They have, in conse- quence, no troublesome school question to rend them into factions, or threaten them with fratricidal war. The New Zealandcrs go further in the direction of public ownership than do the people of any other country on the globe. They own and operate for the benefit of all, all the telephone lines of the colony, 1.400 miles of their telc- graph lines and 1,900 miles of their 3.000 miles of railway. And these are not all the good things possessed by our faraway cousins. The country enl'ruu- cuised its women. who voted for the lirst time at the last general election The Conservatives worked hard to place the ballot in the hands of the ladies. fondly believing that the new vote would return them triumphantly to prover. No such buncl'ul result followed their not of simple justice, however, for, thou-sh nearly us many women as men voted, Over two-thirds of' the candidates returned to Parliament were Liberals. The Women had their own committees and worked hard, the rank and file at lllt'm taking a lively and intelligent interest in all public quotations. Up to date not a single petition for divorce on political grounds has been reported. New Z-enland. and not Canada (Labor D.”- pohttc II motors to the contrary not- withstanding). possuzsses the finest code of labor and land laws on earth. Eight bums is the h-gul working day in fan. i all lines of Slrfl'l)‘ work. 5 unknown. Child labor has been abol- ished, so that. no worker under fourteen ,living than can be shown by any other toril-s, on public thrIH. and in fact in respect. chzttitu is Zmland. venrs of age is found in smith or luc- turies .‘loreovl-r. boys and girls mu~t have attained a certain handing in tho public school bt-fi-re they on . unzk own at that age. We in Cunmlt luv.- mn- Lubor Day in each year, and hue. al- ready celebrated two. That is good. By act of Parliament each municipality in New Zealend is compelled to proof-in. a half day in each week a holidut Any one of the six working days man be selected. but on the day selected all places of business are closed at 1 p. tn. and not reopened till the followine morning. or till Monday morning. should the holiday be taken on a Saturday. Thus it. will be seen that 44 hours is it full week for all classes oflaborers in New Zealand. It. must be mentioned just here that the saloons are not closed on the half holiday. This does not cause wholesale drunkenness and misery as some enthusiastic prohibitionists might suppose, for New Zealand has 11 lower death rate, fewer convictions for drunkenness and a higher standard of colony or country. Of course all work is suspended on Sunday, but a man may use the day as seems best to him. He is at perfect liberty to visit places of amusement, participate in games. or go to church. Quite a number do the latter, as is evidenced by the fact that. each 430 of the population maintain a church. Like Canada, NewZealnnd requires a revenue, and she draws it mainly from three sources, viz, a protective tariff of customs, an income tax and a graduated land tax. All incomes up to £300 are exempted, incomes from £300 to £1,000 are taxed Sixpence in the pound, and on incomes from £1000 to £2,000 the tax reaches one shilling in the pound, and remains one shilling in the pound on incomes over £2,000. All land in excess of homestends is taxed. and the Government stands ready to buy at its assessed value all land of' whatever sort. Improved land is im- proved lund is taxed no more heavily than is unimproved land. The larger the holding the higher the rate of tux. :ttion per acre. The Government loans money to private individuals at 5 per cent. Strikes sometimes occur. with their attendant waste and misery. but by the industrial conciliation and arbitration act. passed very recently all disputes must. be taken before a Board of Arbiâ€" tration. There are no Curran bridge or Lan- gevin block scandals in New Zeuland. for no contracts are lot as they are in Canada. If a work is to be undertaken it. is divided into small blocks and num bored by the Government engineer. These blocks are let directly to gangs of six or seven workmen. The gang elects two of its number as trustees. or, if they think best, one who is ganger or foreman. He deuls directly with the Government, which supplies all plant and material. The wages is seven shil- lings per day. This cooperative system is found to work so satisfactorily that it is being applied to all classes of public work. There is no superannuation humbue in this progressive little colony. I’cn sions are being abolished by n Govern- ment system of insurance. Each em- ployee on entering the public service is compelled to take out a life insurunce in this progres-livc little colony. Pen- sions are being abolished by n Govern- ment system of insurance. Each em. ployee on entering the public service is compelled to take out a life insurance policy. The Government rates are lower than those of the private com- panies, hence the civil servant usually insures with the Government. If the insured dies or is accidentally killed, his heirs receive the face of his policy. If he lives to a certain age the policy pay: him an annual premium, and the principal is paid at his death. It. is years since a public man was churgrd with dishonesty. Monopolie have been killed and corruption died with them. As will be seen by the foregoing. legislation in the Autipndes is for the poor. As a result pauperism is unknown. We have in our Federal Cabinet portfolios of Trade and Commerce. Customs and Inland Revenue. Is it not barely possible that. two depart- ments could do the work of these three? If so, the portfolio abolished could bl..- replnced by the most dignified portfolio ‘III!’ we should be abreast of New In 1.891 '.

The Minister is assisted by two hundred special agents, as well us by every I’olice Mugistralc and cor. ~tublc in the.country.

Th'ey rurer prove ungrateful. They get to work unll promptly return from their earnings the money advanced for rail- way or st_e_:nnboat passage.

Is Getting Young Again. Laporte, Ind. Nov. 29.â€"A remark- able oase of soccnd childhood exists in the little Michigan village of Coopers ville. where resides John Adams. Many instances of old peopio regaining their eyesight, and a few of cutting teeth, have been reported, but; these are rare. It. has remained for John Adams, a hardy Wolverine, to establish a new and unparalleled record. Adams, when he was 80 years old, could scarcely see, he was bald, and his teeth were all gone. lie can now see as well as he ever could, he has out several new teeth, and his hair has grown out again. His new hair is dark brown, his eyes are clear. and at a first glimpse he looks like at man of about 40 years old. But a little closer look makes him seem even older than he really is, although he is now nearly 90. The brown hair and bright. eyes seem to emphasize the Wl'lllklth and his skin looks like parchment. lie now has an idea that new skin will come. and that. the wrinkles will disappear. Mr. Adams is in excellent health and spirits and confidently believes that he will live a long time yet. â€"â€"â€".-o Trampled in Terror.
