tion, when the C
office at Toronto, the «¢ xpenditures of the
Province were about $2,000,000. Now they are nearly $4,000,000. Ontario is like every other Province under grit
rule—it is financially going to the bad. Now the question is, if deficits, increas- taxation, increasing
ing debt, increasing
expenditures are the results of Liberal Government in the Provinces, how can reasonable men hope or expect that Lib- ¢ral Government for the Dominion at large would result in economy, reduced taxation and surpluses ?

NOTES AND COMMENTS.
—Life is rich in what it gives, and not in what it gets.
—The most unhappy husband has been located in Pasadena, Cal. Heis so hen pecked that his wife will not permit him to get a divorce.
— We are told that all the indictments against Erastus Wyman in the courts have been dismissed; but we are not told why Erastus pow now spells it with a “y.”
—The College Observer: Every stu- dent 1s alive to the baneful effects of strong drink, and sbould hail with de-
light the better enjorcement of temperance laws.
—The Patriot has lately had some very sensational stories about the Government. But as they were not accompanied by the necessary affidavits we may conclude that they were fictitious.
existing
—Mailand Empire: Mr. Laurier has missed a grand opportunity. He should have attended the viceregal ball and 1e presented the Dake of Wellington lurking within the lines of Torres Vedras.
—Word comes from Mentreal :hat the report that Dominion Government contemplated buying 12,000,000 acres of land from the Canadian Pacific, is referred tothus by the Vice-President of the Company: “We bave never dis- cussed, spoken or thought of any such scheme.”
—St.Joha San: The appropriation of three millions to arm the Canadian militia is an object lesson to our fellow subjects ta Great Britain as well as to our foreign neighbors. It shows that wein Canada do not propose to play the role of help'ess hostages. Sir Richard Cartwright will perhaps observe that hostages are usually deprived of their arms.
—From the report that the C. P. R. had offered to sel] the Government 12, 600,000 aeres of land the Guardian has reached mclusion that the offer is to he accepted, and that Sir Charles Tupper 1@ at the bottom of it. The Guardian is Just a little “too previous;” for papers re- ceived on Saturday night bring the news that the report is not true.
Mail and Empire: Tarte pledges a Liberal majority of twenty from Quebec in the Dominion The Brantford Exoositor adds, “and he will be able to deliver the goods.” This is a curious parallel tothe case of Mercier. Mercier pledged a Liberal m-jority of twenty-five The pledge was accepted, the mouey stol- en, and a majority, though not quite so large as expected, was secured.
—It appears that Mr. D’Alton McUarthy ditfers scmewhat from the Lords of the Privy Council. They say that the min- ority in Manitoba hive “a grievance” which the law requires to be remedied, Mr. McCarthy says tl at “ no abuses” hare been proven to exist in the present school of Manitoba. It is, perhaps, un fortunate thatthe Lords of the Privy Council speak with authority and Mr. Me- Carthy does not

—In the House of Commons a few davs ago, Hon. David Mills. Canada’s foremost authoriiy On international law, made an important announcement: “I would like to call the attention of the Government,” be said, “t> h- fact that I have discovered inthe parliamentary library here severa] cld maps, some French and some Dutch, which gives the boundaries of the French and Dutch possessions in South America. and according to which the boundary line drawn is at least as extensive as the claim of the British Government.”
—The “hel}-
inspired hypocrite” puzzle is being solved.
Jt appears from the Hali- fax Herald that during the Cape Breton election a barrister in North Sydney, a Liberal, and an old friend of Bishop Cam- eron, wrote the bishop, asking his views on the Manitoba school question. Bishop Cameron responded in a privat: letter.
The l-tter was yerrymandered and then published in Halifax, whence the garbled version was telegraphed to the Toronto Globe, by which paper it was presente! as 1“mandement” read from the alar to} irive the Roman Catholics into the Tory | camp, whether they wanted to go or bot. |
—The Independent : A man who died receutly left nearly all his money, about $25,000, to be expended on a monument to himself. All manner of amused and unfavorable comment has been made upon a will so out of harmony with the spir.t of the age. It has become an axiom that no man of means should live for himself. or use his wealth for self-aggrandizement. When a Stewart or a Gould dies without having distributed any appreciable part of his accumutations for the benefit of hu manity, and simply hands them down to his legal heirs, his life is considered barren one. With unusual opportunities to serve his fellowmen, he has slighted them all and lived practically for himself.

longs tothem? Why should we hump our backs, like cats in the presence of a strange dog, at a bill which provides that the school taxes which are taken from Catholics shall be returned to them for the support of their own schools?
—Mr. Edison’s half-humorous suggestion that the labor of the next generation will consist of pressing a button calls to mind the immense advance in chemical appli- ances witnessed in the past eighty years. One of the most noticeable characteristics of human progress is its extreme inequal- ity. One century, even three or four cen- turies, advances the race not a whit, then a single decade produces implements and
industries which alter the entire mode of living. The nineteenth century is pre- eminently the age of mechanism. The
great principles of steam and electrica) power have been formulated and applied throughout the civilized world. Lately they have been ploughing by electricity in Saxony, setting up dynamos to de farm work in France and Moravia and generally substituting mechanism for hand labor. That this is being done in Wurope is worthy of note, for bone and sinew are cheap there, and as steps toward the pres- sing the button” ideal these developments are Of great interest.
—Mr. Pacaud has gone on his marrow bones to the Bishop of Chicoutimi and admitted that what L’Electeur said con- cerning him was “false and scandalous.” The man who thus admits his guilt is a bosom friend of Mr. Laurier and editor of his caief organ in Quebec.
—New Glasgow Enterprise: Sir Richard Cartwright, the grit leader at Ottawa, is on. record as follows.
Nova Scotia—*The dry nurse and wet nurse of the worst brood of political Lood- lers in Canada.”
The Maritime Provinces—*The streds and patches of the Dominion.”

Suck isthe type of men to whom the grita would hand over this fair yourg na- tion, bought with the toil and sweat and blood of our forefathers. Shame on the man, no matter what his politics may be; who wont resent these slanders on our fair province. Nova Scotia has the cre- dit of producing as able and pure-min:led and energetic statesmen as the world ever saw.
—The large committee appointed by the annual conference of the Wesleyan Metho- dist Church of England to report concern- ing legal difficulties which stand in the way of extending the term of ministerial appointments, recently instructed a strong sub committee to act under the following instructions :
“This Committee Leing of opinion that there is no generally satisfactory met’ od of extenidng the term of ministerial ap pointments without an appeal to Parlia- men’, appoints the foliowing sub-com mittee to prepare, first, a statement of facts and reasons in favor of such an ap- peal to Parliament, together with any other information which they may think fit; and, secondly, a statement of the con- ditions and safeguards under which legal relief from the rigid operation of the 11th c'au‘e of the Deed Poll might be rendered cafe and desirable.”
The resolution, which was offered by the Rev. Hugh Price Hughes, was strongly oppo eed, but was finally carried by a vote of twenty to ten. It is the first step to- ward such legal changes in the deed of trust as will enable the denomination, if it sees fit, to modify its itinerant system.
—Asa matter of fact, there have been under the Conservative Government many and large reductions of taxations, and they have been on articles of the widest con- sumption. Mr. Foster enumeratei some of them in the course of the last Budget speech. They, with the amount of taxa- tion which they represent, have been as follows :
Tea, duty sholished ............. $13,454,009 Coffee, duty bolished......... 677,000 Tin, duty abolished ............. 1,188,000
Bill Stam ps RE io iiter 2,418,000 Newspaper postage abolished. 949,009
Anthracite coal,duty abolished 6,044,000 Sugar, duty reduced......... .+ 19,850,000 Window glass and molasses,
duty reduced............ 520,000 Genersl reduction at time of
OPTS PRTC saiceicee «sc nsene - 1,500,000
The total of these is nearly $47,000,000. The reductions were not all made at once. As the revenue grew more rapidly than the expenditure, remissions of customs taxation were made from time to time. The total is seen.” It is said, of course, that the reductions have been more than made up for by the original National Pol- icy imp>sitions. How much there is each man can calculate for himself. He will be a heavy consumer of imported mer- chandise whose share of customs taxation wou'd exceed the reduction implied by the complete removal of the duty on tea and coffee, and coal and tinware, and the r-ductions on sugar and window glass and molasses. The existing tariff makes free, or next to free, the great staples of dom- estic consumption.

There bas not been a death in the immediate family of the aged couple in sixty-one years.
There is an interesting instance of the result of Chrietian Endeavor work in the fact that when the society was organized in 1892 in Lamar, Col., only four persons would take the pledge. Since that time, however, the society has increased, and has supplied the only religious services in tle place, except the Sunday school, and from it a church has now grown.
The German Socialists are now attack - ing the right of the Kaiser to absolute control of the discipline of the army. The Kaiser, it seems, can order the execution of a soldier without responsibility or trial. He is not likely to do this, but it would be better if he had not the power. Some of the much commented on growth of Ger- man Socialism seems to be due toa con- templation of things that should not be.
Chicago was visited by the most singular meteorological phenomena recently that has ever come under the observation of the local weather observers.

W. Redmond, M. P, spoke at the meet- ing of the National League in Dublin re- cently. He said he thought that the gov- ernment would do someth ng for Ireland on the land question, and they had prom- ised to improve the industries of the conn- try. In doing these things the Parnellite party should help them, and they could do that without abating one jot of their de- mand for home rule.
An elderly widower of Thurles, Ire., married a young girl, and after the cere-- mony entertained some friends at a bridal feast . While the feast was in progress, a number of young men attacked the house and broke the door, windows and furni- ture. The bride is said to have been ill- used, and received a black eye, and finally had to fly to a neighboring house for re- fuge. Having evicted the bridal party the raiders sat down and enjoyed the wedding breakfast. No reason is given for the con- duct of the attacking party.
Mr. Chamberlain, the British Colonial Secretary, is a very able man; but he has been very sharply rebuked by an equally able man, President Kruger, of the Trans— vaal Republic, who tells him that he must not meddle with the internal affairs of that Republic. He had suggested reforms that were necessary to satisfy the desires of the Uitlandere; but President Kruger thinks that that is a matter for home consider. ation, and that Mr. Chamberlain ought to mind his own business. Perhaps he ought, but if those refurms re not granted there will not be any President Kruger very Jong. Mr. Chamberlain’s diplomacy has been characterized by unusual frankness and strength.

THE CATHOLIC CHURCH AND DtI- VORCE,
Sr. Pavut, Minn., Feb, 20.—To a repre sentative of the Associated Press, to-day, Archbishop Ireland said :
The report which comes from Halifax that Pope Leo XILL. has granted a full, or an avinculo, divorce on the ground of infidel- ity on the part of the woman. is clearly a misinterpretation of the facts in the case. It is certain no divorce has been granted on the ground of infidelity. The positive, inflexible teachings of the Catholic Church is that a valid marriage contract, duly consummated, cannot be annulled or made void by any authority ig state or church, death alone terminating its obligatiens. Where the marriage was from the begin ning null and invalid through: some) nat- ural or canonical impediment, or . never duly cousummated, declarations of nu)- lity or dipensations may be, and often are, obtained from ecclesiastical courts. Noth- ing beyond this ever occurred, or can oc- cur, in the Catholic Church.

THE MANITOBA QUESTION
McCarthy and Joe ‘Martin at Toronto,
fushting Against the Jadgment of the Privy Council,
Toronro, Feb. 24.
No coercion was the topic which gath- ered several thousand people in Massey Music Hall on Saturday night, when the Remedial Bill was discussed. Dalton Mc- Carthy moved a resolution to the effect that no abuses had been proven to exist in the present school system of Manitoba, and that the people of Canada should be given a chance to pronounce their opinions upon it.
Joe Martin, of Winnipeg, seconded the motion’ He said he was prepared to leave the grit party if it should at any time deal unjustly with Manitoba. He said he was afraid the Remedial Bill would - pase, be- cause many members would vote for it who had pledged themselves to vote against it, He stated most emphatically that Mr. Laurier would oppose the bill in its second reading in the House of Commons, and finished with the declaration that he was in favor of a commission of investigation,
