The value of property exempt from taxation in the City of Toronto is $23,- 214, 000, or one .seventh of the total reality. A large part of this is repre- aented by church property held by ear. porations well able to pay taxes. These corporations as a rule are wealthy and take the choicest sites for their building and buy extra property for speculative purposes, simply because they can hold it without paying taxes. The system is _�,an unjust one. ic** When Cleveland left the White House in 1889, there was a surplus of $100,000,- 000. Now he comes back next year to face a deficit. A special session of Congress will have to be called next spring to meet this financial crisis. It will be the second of the kind in Ameri- can history and the first in 54 years, There aro at present 1,000,000 names on the pension last representing one to nearly every twelve voters. This too for a war which ended 27 years ago. These absorb 40 per cent of the nations revenue. Senator Carnet° says in the face of the deficit it will be impossible to reduce the tariff for the present. The action of the English Board of Agriculture in destroying the lungs of the Canadian cattle supposed to be suffer- ing pleuro -pneumonia is a rank and out- rageous piece of injustice. Independent investigation is now of course impos- sible. The question must forever re- main open, and no amount of discussion can satisfy or .reconcile conflicting public opinion. It is one of the meanest inci- dents in the History of our connection with the Mother Country and the board of agriculture by its petty and unjust course, has covered itself with contempt. Tho whole significance of the incident is*enow clear. It was not an effort to protect English cattle from disease, but was designed to free English breeders from outside competition. The Liberal party in England has been notoriously indifferent to the colonies and their interests but in this instance they have passed from indifference to active ag- gression, It remains to be seen what effect the Scotch protests will have on the government. a r w Owing to the failing health of Sir John Abbott, that gentlemen has resign ed the Premiership of Canada, and in his stead the Governor-General has ap- pointed Sir John Thompson. Granting that his call to the high office has been most favorably received by the press of the country, it is idle to deny that he assumes office with a very awkward ques- ion on his hands andone regarding which naturally muck interest if not anxiety is manifestd by a considerable section of the population. Sir John has it in his power to allay this anxiety by declining to make any attempt to override the popular will in Manitoba and force sep- arate schools upon an unwilling province If he does this he will establish himself as a safe statesman in the eyes of the Canadian people and satisfy those who are inclined naturally enough to reserve judgment regarding him pending his decision of that question. For our part, we have confidence that he will meet the issue satisfactorily. As a matter of fact he can dispose of it'more easily than could a Protestant Premier, fir the latter would be sure to encounter the unrelenting hostility of the advocate of ,`,separate schools, which Sir John Thompson would escape, since the dis- sentients would recognize at once that superlative reasons guided him in with hold'ng from them their desires and that they were deprived of reasonable excuse for resentment. As those superlative reasons indeed exist, we look for non- interference as the policy of Sir John Thompson. Rev.SYLVANIIi LANE—Of the Cincinnati M.F. Confe>enco makes a good point when he says: We havefor years used Hood's Sarsaparilla in ottr family of five, and find it fully equal to all that is olaimed for it.
