THURSDAY, FEB, 13, 1,908,
NOTES AND COMMENTS
Although th + phenomenal receipts of
the Provinoe of Ontario frons suocession
duties in 1906 was not duplicated in
1907, the sum colleoted by the treasury
from that source daring the year was
unusually large. Ia the twelve months
the tax on the devolution of estates
brought to the exchequer a revenue of
04,562.22 In 1906 through the death
of a namber of persoes of great wealth,
the revenues were much larger than
usual. I.i that year the net total of suc-
cession duties wag $4.015,713,23 The
magnitude of the fig ores for 1907 will be
more apparent when compared with
those changing hauda was more nearly
the average than in 1906. The net ool-
laotiona in 1905 aggregated $68.1,178,36.
The tax on the output of Ontario
mines, a law tor whioh was enacted at
the last session of the Legislature, is
estimated to have prodaoed a1 income
for the past year 01 between $90,000 and
$100,000. The tea this year was collect-
ed on the basis of the 1906 output. The
output in 1907 was considerably greater
than in the preoeeding year, so that the
revenues for 1908 may be expected to be
correspondingty expanded. The aot ieo-
posed a tax on the ratio of 3 per cent. of
the profits at the mouth of the mine. It
also provided that a certain proportion
of this revenue was to be set aside as a
bounty to encourage refining iaOatario.
In regard to the latter provision it is
'understood, however, that no applica-
tions have yet been made.
a,.fi,nancial statement of the Do.
minion ioroahe- °month. of- tannery and
for the first ten mouths of the current
fiscal year shows an increase of $384,3377
is the total revenue for the last month,
as compared with January; 1907, and an
increase of $9,3.74,5.48 for the ten months
The total expenditure on consolidated
fund account for the ten months was
$56,332,534, an increase of $10,650,229.
OE this increase $',033,244 is chargeable
to the January figures for payment of
subsidy increases to the Provinces.
amounting to $1,500,000, and of interest
charges ou the pnblio debt, totalling
$2,623,459, both falling due last month.
For the ten months the surpins of
revenue over expenditure on consolidated
fund' account amounted to 24.691,733
The total expenditure on capital account
as entered on the books of the Finance
Department up to January 31st, was
$22,245,499, of which $17,446,975 was
chargeable to Public Works, Railways
and Canals. The National Transcon-
tinental Railway is, of course, respon-
sible for much of this amount. The
total net debt of the Dominion at the end
of last month was $x59.504,613.
not customary to plaee a burglar in the
position of caretaker, neither is vale -
able property morally entreated to those
wbo have been unfaithful to their trust.
Politicians who tell over each other in
their indecent soramble to seonre lira•
its which were of little vain in 1883,
could not resist the temptation to avail
themselves of their greater opportnn-
itiee if given the chance to squire aim-
ilar property with its increased value
of today.
The gravamen of Conservative charges
is that the limits of the West have t een
disposed of in advance of public re.
quirements. How can they defend
disposing of 29,322 square miles between
1878 and 1890, as was done by the Con-
servative Government? They don't pre•
tend to.
How futile would it be for the Con-
s,:rvatives to attempt to justify the giv-
ing of 10.326 square miles of timber in
the year 1885, when there was soarcely
any settlement in the West, and this
area given. not to lumbermen, not to
settlers, but to speculators and politi-
oians at a time whenthere was prac-
tically no demand for lumber?
How can the Conservatives justly base
a oritioism of the Liberal Government
for granting 6,456 square miles of `tim-
ber in eleven yearn, at a time when set-
tlement in the West has reached im-
mense proportions, and there is a steady
demand for lumber? With this addi-
tional fact in view, that every acre was
put up for public competition and in
every case went to the highest bidder?
Meal Time Miseries
STATISTICAL.
Indigestion Can be Cured by
the Tonic Treatment of Dr,
Williams' Pink Pills.
There is only oue way to cure indigest-
ion and that is to give your system so
ranch good, red blood that the stomach
will have strength enough to do itq
natural work in a healthy vigorous way.
Many dyspeptios dose the stomach with
tablets, syrups and other things alleged
to assist iu digesting food, but these
things merely give temporary relief -
they never cure indigestion -and the
trouble grows worse and worse, until
the poor dyspeptic is gradually starving.
Ia a case of indigestion a half dczen
boxes of Dr. Williams' Ptak Pills are
worth all the mixtures and so called pre-
digested foods in the country. These
pills mire indigestion because they
strengthen and tone the stomaoh, thus
enabling it to do the work nature in-
tends it should do,
Mr. Paul Oharbonnoau, St, JL .me,
Quo , says: "For months I=uffored
tortures from indigestion. • 'ter every
meal the misery was rate e, so that ,h
nanaily ate most spoiling]. . I tried sever-
al so-called indigestt o • 'cures, but they
did me no good. c eneral health be-
gan to run down. suffered from head-
aches and dizziness and pains about the
heart. Often after the lightest meal I
would be efilioted with a smothering
sensation. Finally my mother induced
me to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills.
Under the usb of this medicine the
trouble began to disappear, and in less
than a couple of months I had complete-
ly recovered my health and can now
enjoy a hearty meal as well as anyone."
It is because they matzo new, rich
blood that Dr. Williams' Pink Pills al-
ways cure indigestion. anaemia, rheuma-
tism, heart palpitation, eieuralgia,
soiatioa, St. Vitas dance and the head-
aches, backaches and other indescribable
ills of girlhood and womanhood. Sold

Col. Charles Clark, of Elora, in his
day a journalist, a member of the On•
tario Legislature, and for many years
Clerk of the Assembly, has jest publish-
ed a book of recollections, "Sixty years
in Upper Canada." In a paragraph re-
ferring to the late Thomas Gibson, for
many years a member of the Legislature
for East Huron, Mr. Clarke says: -
Thomas Gibson, Esq., member for many
years for East Huron, one of the most
honest men who ever filled a seat in the
Legislature, was one of the small band
who received popular endorsement dur-
ing many successive Parliaments. His
style was peculiarly his own, and you
knew, when listening to his broad Scots
tongue, that he had that to say which
was worth hearing, and that he im-
plioitly believed every word he uttered,
as did everybody else. He was an in-
tense reader, and if a stranger to the
House asked for Thomas Gibson outside
of the hours when the House was in
session, he was likely to be directed to
the library. He was a walking encyelo-
baedia on matters municipal, for he
bad been reeve in Huron for many
years, and possessing a remarkably re-
tentive memory, could respond to any
question put to him along that line.
Ho had an honest objection to the
theatre. I persuaded him to hear and
see Adelaide Neilson, in Juliet, and he
left the building declaring that such a
performance was a slur upon Shako-
2peare and profaned his name when his
words were n.ed "in sic a manner by
sic a woman "

Jastioe Mulook gave judgment in
the Arnoldi-Cookbnrn oase, awarding
Arnoldi $2,000 and costs of the present
action, $400. Mr. Arnoldi defended
President Cockburn in the police court
when charged with signing false returns
sent to the Government. He billed hie
client for $5,000, and when Mr. Cockburn
refused to pay he raised it to $7,500.
The judgment is a vindication of Mr.
G. R. R. Cockburn.

Toronto, Feby lith. -Trade was good
and active at the Cattle Market to -day.
Cattle, whioh were held book last week
owing to the heavy snowstorms, are now
coming in, the offerings today amount-
ing to GO loads. That there was a very
keen demand for cattle on the opening
of the market was seen in the briskness
of the trading, penes hold firm at recent
advanoee. Towards the close of the
market indications pointed to good re•
ceipts for the rest of the week, and the
demand slackened off a little, some of
the buyers preferring to take their
ohances on an easier market later on
in the week. The drovers, however,
are holding out for top prices, and are
not disposed for the present, at all
events, to give much in the way of
ooncessions to the demand of the but-
chers for lower prices.
The demand for choice butcher and
export cattle is active, and only very
heavy rens are likely to break pries very
materially for this plass of cattle"
The demand for stockers is only
moderately active just at present.
Hog quotations to -day showed no
change from last week, though the
market is not very firm.
The total run today was 60 cars, with
1,135 head of cattle, 50 sheep and lambs,
100 hogs, and 600 calves. The follow-
ing ib a summary of the general con-
ditions:
