THE COMING ELECTIONS,
B fore.uaeY
months shall1 have
ex -
hired, this Province of Ontario will be
lu the throes of a general election ; and
we are even now face to face with the
important question, shall the Mowat
etdtninistret/ton be sustained? Ou two
or three points the answer to such a
question must be distinct and unequiv-
o3ate, The,publie expenditure has for
years been steadily on the increase,
while the reyenue has been as grade•
ally demiuishing. Look at the army
of officials created under the Mowat
administration. Places have been
made for warn -out political hacks. Ac-
cording to a published statement, the
increase of 'expenditure during the
)alt year alone has been considerable,
as the following figures will show: In
goyernment, $14,000; legislation,
$J,000; agriculture and arts, $18,000;
hospitals and charities, $18,000; coloniz-
atiou roads, $5,000; education, $8,000;
miscellaneous, $30,000—making in ail
a grand total for this one Produce of
$101,000! The people Kaye to pay in
increased taxes for all this extra ex-
penditure, In the Crown Lands de-
partment there is an especial need for
economy. Year after year our timber
limits—which, according to Mr. W. R.
Meredith, is one great source of our
provincial and national wealth -have
been literally wasted and squandered
away. Offices have been divided, and
vacancies created, for the special par_
pose of providing for political friends
and supporters of the Mowat govern
ment. Look at how the provincial
money is spent in order to sustain an
extravagant administration. The re
eeipts from Crown Lands have gone
up from less than $650,000 in 1883 to
the enormous sum of 82,226,833 in 1892
So, the receipts from licenses increased
from $904.051 from 1875 to 1883) to
$2,228,771 in the subsequent corres-
ponding period up to 1893. The dif
ference is taken from our municipali-
ties. The same enormous .increase has
characterized every ether depaitment
of the provincial government. The
waste in public buildings, suck as the
new houses of parliament, has been
something frightful. Such has been
the increase of expenditure by the
, Mowat administration, that sOutario's
public debt for which the government
is pledged now reaches $2,968,000 in
annuities. To meet existing liabilities
they have been turning capital into
revenue—and every one will under -
:stand the difference between living on
one's interest, and drawing year by
year on the invested capital. Yet this
is what the Mowat administration haye
been doing' for years. And if any oth•
er arguments were awanting for our
electors to dismiss the Mowat adminis-
tration from office, and put a truly
reforming government in its place,—
We need only to refer to the plebiscite
fame, enacted not in the interests of
temperance reform, but ask a piece of
party tactics to please the holders of
liquor licenses who are among the chief
supporters of the Mowat government.
The revenue derived in 1892 from their
control of the liquor traffic amounted
to $294,757—which sum is ased as an
engine of political strength to keep in
power a government which has been.
wasteful of the public resources, and
extravagant in administration of the
public funds,
GOTTERNOR-GENEIML'S DISAP-
PROVAL
ISAP-1 1t0YAL OF THE DRAMA.'
Quite a flutter has been raised in
high social circles at the capital owing
t the refusal of their • Excellencies,
Lord and Lady *Aberdeen, to patronize
a play called "The Mascot te"—given in
aid of a church entertainment. No
special reasons have been assigned for
their Excellencies havineed.:ciined to
extend their patronage, although their
letter is a model of courtesy. It is
thought that Lord Aberdeen's Scottish
Presbyterianism may have influenced
His Excellency in giving his public
disapproyal of "theatricals" for church
purposes—if so, he was perfectly justi-
fied iu the tours pursued. And per-
haps it was time that at limit was set
to such entertainments, as in the large
cities much valuable time, as well's as
maney, is squandered in public enter-
tainments of a gitestionable character,
Biit apart altogether from this consider
u,tion, the drama may be made a use-
ful education an •`
part o �du d affords a wide
aeo •p a e for mental recreation • lir Which
case its endorsement p
by viceregal at-
�
azona l;' ,e might contribute to elevating
g le sting.
tate tone of theatricals makine. them a
t '..t
means of znt crest and i Inoceitt amt►sc,
Mold, as well its an and to charitable 7i
rand religions itistitutiout}, Much: is to
be staid on both sides. Meanwhile the
proposed ontertaiumont at the Capital
will 1 prove all the lucre successful, be-
cause of the frictio,t created by their
Excellencies' refusal to, extend their
patronage,—while a useful lesson may
be read to alt lovers of the drama :not
to encourage entertainments of quest
amiable character. On the whole, it
may not'prove a matter : of regret to
the more thoughtful citizens that Lord
and Lady Aberdeen haye withheld their
imprintature from all and Sunday
dramatic performances, now that their
Excellences have commenced their
official duties in Ottawa, So far at
least, the. Goyeruor-General and Lady
Aberdeen have inaugurated their vice-
regal introduction into Canada by pat-
ronizing educational and religious in
v
stitutions, and giving' eneouragement
to all that concerns the true moral wel-
fare of our young nation.

Of Interest to Canada.

Speaking
the failure of the grass crop in Britain,
it says that the scare at the prospect of
a scarcity of hay, with a fa,I•in prices,
has ended. The recent • appreciable de-
cline in value is largely due, it de-
clares, to the free importation of ex
cellent hay from Canada, Ireland and
the United States. Canadian timothy,
says the Times, is beginning to be
recognized as good for hunters and car,
riage horses is the hest available. The
writer states that the drought has
shown English farmers the value of

Salt Lake Valley, ono of the,ntostpro-
ductive regions in the world, would' be
still a barren waste. The Board of
Agriculture returns, just published
show the value of Canadian cattle im-
ported 'during the ten months of this
year to be X1,344,438 sterling', against
£1,365,754 for the corresponding per-
iod of last year • The srnal:nees of > the
