NOTES AND COMMENTS
•
•
the entries np to the last day of Feb-
ruary on the books of the finance de-
partment show a total revenue of
$75,5104,822, a'deorease of $12,096,477, as
compared with the corresponding period
of 1207.8.
Mr. William Proudfoot, S. C., Lib-
eral member for Centre Huron, in the
entree of his thoughtful and construe.
tive contribution to the Legislative
budget debate on Wednesday of last
week, declared for advanced temperanoe
legislation. He advocated the absolute
abolition of the 'Menne system. "I
hope," said he, "that the time is not far
distant when our Provincial Treasury
will be no longer enriohed by the sale of
liquor licenses; the time when intoxi-
cants will be treated as other poisons are
treated. It is, to my mind, a standing
disgrace to welcome the receipt of mon-
eys for licensing the sale of what we
characterize as a cnrse." Mr. Prondfoot
observed frankly in making hie radical
recommendation that he spoke for him-
self. It was the expression of individual
convection. The address of the member
for Centre Huron, if somewhat discur-
sive, was a distinct uplift to the tone of
the debate. It was alike critical and
conetrnative. He declined to take up
the battledore and shuttlecock of anti-
quated
ntiegnated happenings.
H Musgrove, B. P. P for N•irth
iron has been placed on three of the
Vislature committees—Pablio Ao-
huts, Printing and Fieh and Gime.
Pm. Prondtoot, M P. P. for Centre
Iron, introdnoed a bill in the Legiela-
e on Friday asking for the repeal of
a three-fifths clause in the local option
te.
Major J J Craig, M. P. P. (East
ellington,) has a notice of motion of a
which will make a radical change
the Assessment Aot. By it alejor
'aig proposes to empower municipal -
'es to hand over to a bank its tax
aedule, and to allow the bank to do
e oolleoting.
kn the House of Commons on Thnrs-
y last, Dr. Chisholm asked how many
res &I. Government lands are still un-
posed of by the Government in the
est.?.; Mr. Oliver gave the following
prox+mats figures:—Manitoba, 17,-
2,240; Saskatchewan, 104,878,854;
iberta. 117,369,650 A total of 239,-
0,749 acres.
)The figures of Canada's trade for
ebruary tell the same story of return -
g good times as that told by the in -
eased government revenues for the
oath Total imports entered forborne
,usumption were $23,125.380, an in -
ease of. $2,183,614 as compared with
.-bruary of East year. This is the first
rge increase in imports recorded for
'er fourteen months.

An exchange says: --There is perhaps
no law that has had more amendments
than the Municipal Act and there is yet
room for improvement. Take the case
of a farmer, who owns perhaps a hun-
dred acres of land assessed to say $5,000,
Suppose this man had two or three sons
at home, over 21 years of age. He can
have himself and perhaps his three sons
placed on the list of municipal voters.
It is altogether different in a town or
village. The owner of property in a
village assessed at $100,000 has no right
under the Assessment Act to have even
one son placed on the municipal list of
voters or in some way, put the son in the
position of a tenant of part of his pro-
perty for the same purpose. Why this
distinction? No one wants to decrease
the privilege of the rural voter. Bat
why not give the urban property -holder
the same privilege?

Moral reforms are like long-distance
at races in one respect. In a long -
stance race it is not the runner who
singe that is Iikely to win, his spas -
odic efforts exhaust him, reaction sets
, and he falls to the rear, while the
Amer who keeps np a steady jog usual -
wins. So in moral reform mOve-
ennte. Steady progress Is best even
it be slow. Moving rapidly in ad -
ince of public opinion usually serves,
the long run, to retard progress.—
amtiton Herald.
ABOLISH THE SENATE.
The Ohesley Enterprise favors
abolishing the Senate, and the TIMES
heartily agrees with the Enterprise.
We do not need the Senate and in re-
taining it the people of Canada are put
to considerable unnecessary expense.
The Enterprise in figuring out some of
the items of the cost of the Senate
says:—In one session the cost to this
country for magnifying glasses for the
86 sad eyed Senators was $823 25.
Their travelling stationery cases cost
dear old Canada $1,486.77. They were
supplied with 167- fitt.d cases at a cost
of $2,170 54. And parse bags in which
to carry the wad amounting to $2500
annually they get out of the pnblio
treasury for services, supposed to be
rendered, coat the taxpayers of this
country $583.27. And 12 dozen scissors
were bought for the 86 senators at a
cost of $129.60. If the Auditor's Report
into which some hard-working farmers
should have a peep, only showed thread,
buttons and needles, they might do their
owe patching and sewing on of buttons,
rendered necessary by an ever increasing
expansion from eating and drinking
and little bodily exercise. But the
scissors do not complete tie list. The
public paid for 9 dozen ivory pocket
pencils costing $108.98. Gold pendia
were purchased nt a cost of $1001.56 and
eleven dozen knives at $292.17. And
in the face of all this extravagance
members like Nesbitt of North Oxford
will stand up and defend the Senate,
He must think the farmers in his riding
will stand for anything so long as it
comes from a Liberal member. The
Senate has got past the point of refor-
mation. All that remains is to petition
the British Parliament to amend the
B. N. A. Act of 1867 by abolishing the
red chamber.
Tne financial statement of the Do-
iuion for the month of February
dicates that the difficulties which the
armee minister has had to meet during
Le past year or so in respect to falling
venues and increasing expenditures
e now practically at an end. The
tal revenue for the month was $6,5567,-
16, as compared with $6,577,027 for
ebanary of last year. Expenditure on
ensolidated fund account was $3,963,-
16, a decrease of $424,192, and on
tpital accounts $22,486,553, a decrease
$1,036,436. The net debt of the
,om]nion decreased by $171,237. Dur -
g the month the customs revenue
creased „by $41,000, and the miscel-
,neons revenue by $128,140. The
reise revenue decreased $123.239. For
it eleven months of current fiscal year
