OUR OTTAWA LEITER.
tFrout our own Correspointoi .
Ottawa, July Lith, 1898
viii i,I8G.1I YEAH,
Canada's liscai year ended on June
30th, and the preliminary figures to
hand indicate the most favorable
showing in many years. In the
Customs, Post Office, Railways and
Public Works, and in the Miseellane
ous, the returns show big increases,
the Customs receipts alone being
$2,149,000 in advance of those of
last year. The Excise Department
however shows a heavy falling off
ot $1,300,000. The total revenue on
account of the consolidated fund for
the year indicates an increase of oyer
82,000,000, nor has the inerease
reached its limit yet apparently, as
the figures for June are more than
$000,000 in excess ot those of the
corresponding nsonth last year.
The Savings Banks returns are
equally satixfaetory, the amount to
the credit of depositors being $48,-
577,000 as against $47,130,000 a
year ago. An increase of 81,447,000
in the year would not appear to in-
dicate that loss of public favor in the
Government Savings Banks which
as b.en so confidently foreshadowed
n the Conservative press.
A surplus will be a new experience
or the last was in 1893, while since
hat date the deficits have amounted
o over $11 000,000, .It last the
enef€cial effects of the Liberal ad -1 r
atinistration are beginning- to Inani-

INTERESTING, IF TELIE,
ot a little amusement has been

d proceedings at a Cabinet Coun..

hich it titins stated, under flaming
Iines, that the Minister of the
r€or had been severely called

ed tills deeds of Government

control of his Departaient. lc is
rcely necessary to_ state that the
re report was evolved out of the
torial intag.ination,for apartfrom

in neither of which capacities can be
obtained information which would be
of value to hien in securing claims.
The officer at Dawson (litst, who is
really responsible is Mr. 1+'awectt,
the Gold Colninissionor and an
appointee of the Conservative Gov-
ernment, who has been inthe pubtie
service for many years. His repu-
tation is melt that it is not likely
anything of aquestionable character
would occur with his knowledge and
the same may be said al his associ-
ates.
