LICENSE REPORT. The license report for 1893-94, which Hon. Mr. Gibson laid on the table, state. the number of yearly ordinary tavern licenses as 2,841, as compared with 2,907 in 1892-93, and. 47 beer and wine licenses, as compared with 59 the year before, while there were 36 ordinary six months' licensee and five beer and wine six months' licenses, as against 40 and 4 respectively the year before. Of shop licenses there were 357, against 378 previously, and of wholesale licenses 31, as compared with 25 the yeer before. The total number of licenses in the year was thus 3,317, as agaiasb 3,413 in 1892-93. There were 609 extension s, trans fere and renewals of licenses, compared with 712 the year before. The Provincial revenue was $289,821.02, as compared with 8297,644.17 the year before'and the muni- cipal revenue was $282,473.97, as against $289,996.74 in 1892-93. The total collec- tions on account of 'lemma and fines, were 8649,173.98, as compared with 8664,169.83 the year before. The fines collected were 819,277.77, as compared with 826,058.05 in 1892-93. The number of prisoners commit. ted for drunkenness in 1894 was 2,274, a decrease of 378. THE BUDGET SPEECH. Mr. Harcourt, referred to the fact that the actualreceipts of the province during 1894 has exceeded the estimated receipts by 8306,290, amounting as they did to 83- 453,162, which sum did not include moneys paid by municipalities on account of sums borrowed. The receipts from the Lands Department has been 81,057,532, and ex- ceeded the estimate by $141,532. Of the revenues from tbis department $980,497 had come from woods and forests. The revenue from licenaes was reduced from 3,525 in 1890 to 3,276 in 1893. There had been a great reduction in the number of licenses during the last two decades, the number issued in 1873 having been 6,185 equal to four for every 262 of the population, as against one for every 645 now. The Treasurer referred to the number of committents for drunkneness, which had fallen from 1 for every 400 in 1884 to 1 for every 900 in 1894. The speaker then ex- plained the system by which the province had issued brewers' licenses, from whieh $54,595 were received. The Treasurer stated that the estimate for succession duties had been largely exceeded, the actual receipts being $150,754, as against an estimate of $70,000, which was a most fav- orable showing. The amount received in 1893 had been $45,507. The province spent last year on charitable ine bitutions 8182,692, as against $167,000 in the previous year. The amount received from succession duties was applied on this account. With regard to the provincial expenditures for 1594 he compared the expenditures of the various departments with the previous year. On public buildings 8116,000 less had been spent, which they hoped to still further reduce this year. Education had increased 522,000, and agriculture $11,500. On mining development $15,266 had been spent, from which they hoped to reap a rich harvest when the time so improved as to encourage the investment of capital in these valuable fields. There was rcow in the provinoe excellent accommodation for 4,586 insane, and at the end of 1894 there were 4,441 inmates in the seven asyltuns of the province. The equipment and staff of i the netitutiona would compare favorably with those of any other community, and Rao Mize' KEPT or with the advanoing facilities for the treat- ment of unfortunates afforded by improved scientific methods. A comparison of cost between liew York State and Ontario per inmete per year was, in 1804, $127.22 in °ataxic), and $184.77 in New York. Turn- ing then to the general queetion of the financial echninistration of the province, he claimed that it was worthy of confi- dence, In comparieon with the Proviime of Quebec and tini State of New York, the edminietra.tion of the public works of the provitice had been characterized by econ. only and soundness of principle, while our neighbours had been leas fortunate, the Capital at Albany being instanoed as being an endleati drain upon the trerietiry. The net debt of Quebec, according to a statement by the PreMieri Was $21,342,854, awd it is eteadily luoroasing, and one dollar out of every throe of its revenue went to interest &urges on its in- debteducee, Coutrasted with this, he sub- mitted the deorease in the annual expeudi- tura of Ontario during the hat Parliament, in 1891 it was $4,158,459, and in 1804. 83, 839,338, the deorease having been constant. Our total receipts duriug the laet four years had exoeeded our expenditures by 8373,389, in spite of the fact that heavy epecial ex. pendituree had been necessary,suoh as $160, 000 to assist in rebuilding Toronto Univers sity, $703,301 to retire railway aid certifi- cates, and 8981,464 on the new Parliament buildings and the Brookville asylum. The total income for the four years had been $15,973,109, and the total receipts 816,346,- 588. They had begun the last year with a credit balance ab the banks of 81,000,015, and the receipts had been $3,453,162. The total ordinary expenditure, outside of the Supply bill, had been 8468,125,so that they had on hand a cash balance of $610,674, of which amount $342,C95 was on special de- posit bearing interest, and 8268,578 was on current account. The Treasurer then devoted his attention to"disputed accounts" arbitration between the Dominion,Ontario, and Quebec, and explained the mutters which had been in dispute and the awards which had been given on the various ques- tions argued. He referred to the judgment given a, few days ago, and said that, so far, it had dealt with the .question of legal liability only, AND STILL LEFT IT OPEN . to have the accounts taken as to the num- ber of Indians entitled, and the nature of expenditure to be considered. It appeared that the expenditures had bean in excess of the collections and, if so, there was no fund whereby the arrears could be paid. The province also disputed the large in- crease in the number of Indians for whom a claim was preferred, and believed that a scrutiny would materially reduce) that number. The other two matters disposed of did not involve large amounts, and the award was in favor of the provinoe. With regard to the increasing cost of legislation, it was due to the increasing volume of business. Many more reports were sent out than formerly, 31,910 more having been sent out in 1894 than in 1893 for the departments, and 21,480 more for the Legislative Assembly, the total increased cost being 85,782. He would now ask hon. gentlemen to glance at their sohedule of assests and liabilities which did include several moat valuable assets. The pres- ent liabilities referred to in the schedule amounted to only $25,000, and, all told, deducting present liabilities from the list of cash assets appearing in the schedule they had at the end of 1894 a surplus of $5,269,- 840. Their railway liabilities, extending over forty years or more, they did not treat as a present liability, but treated them as did the Dominion and other Pro- vinoial Governments. The estimated receipts for the present year were 83.149,. 372, and the expenditures $3,410,905.43, which would be 813,757,66 less ehan last year. In conclusion, the hon. Treasurer referred to the principles ot economy and prudence which had always guided the Government in its management of the affairs of the province. Such expenditures as had been incurred in opening up new territory, an d in grants to railways,schools, agriculture, and mining, had added largely to their recent burdens. No interest, educational, agricultural, mercantile, or otherwise, had in any way been neglected; no class or section of the people, jiad been overlooked, and none unduly favored. (Ap. plause). The general interest of the whole community, and it alone, had on every occasion outweighed all other considerations. Growth, expansion, and development called for and required an ever-increasing measure of aid from the public chest. "1 confidently predict, sir" concluded the hon. member, "that this Parliament will insist, as its predecessors have rigidly and uniformly insisted, that there should be no waste of public moneys, thet the most rigid economy in things great and small alike shall be enforced, that public funds shall never be devoted, under any delusive pretext or pretence whatever, so as directly or indirectly to corruptly en- rich favoured individuals, but that to the last cent the province shall continue to receive a full, tair, and ample equivalent for every dollar of its appropriations. I move, Mr. Speaker, that you do now leave the chair." (Loud and continued applause.) THE OPPOSITION LEADER. Mr. Marter desired to congratulate the Treasurer on the statement belied just made, and the manner in which it had been delivered. It was for the Opposition to take up the other side of the question, and to show that the present Government had not been econorninal, and had not always studied the interests of the province, as the Treasurer would have them believe. The duties of the Treasurer of the province were comparatively easy. They had been told that the receipts of the province for the past year amounted to $3,453,162, but in what manner, he asked, had the Treas- urer contributed to this amount? The Dom- inion paid to he province, $1,559,685, which was received in the form of a cheque every six months, whilst from the Crown Lands Department was derived the sum of $1,- 038,262. The amounts derived from other sources reached the sum of 8802,422. It would be seen therefore than the duties of the Treaeurer did not involve any great amount of effort. Whenever a deficiency occurred all the Treasurer had to do was to consult the Commissioners of Crown Lands, and to dispose of some of the real estate of the province. lids year, as in former years'there had been an over- expenditure. During the 23 yeara had this Government had been in power it had had over -expenditures in fifteen of those years. Referring to 1871, they would find the expenditure under civil government amounted to $114,613. In 1894 the ex- penditure under this head was $240,474. He would have liked the Treasurer to have given the House the reasens for the increase in the cost of civil govern- ment to the extent of over 100 per cent. They would. probably be told that the population had increased since 1871, but that increase only amounted to about 30 per cent. whilst the increase of expenditure to which he had alluded., was over 100 per cent, Under the Sandfield Macdonald Government the expenditure for sessional clerks was annually $2,870, but tmday the amount was 816,035, To -day there were 120 eessional clerks, pages, eta., employed, a number her in excess of what it should he, THE GREATEST EXPENDITURE had probebly taken plain) in ootinection with the Crewn Lends Department. In that department a sum of $1,000,000 a year had been consumed. Although treated as revenue the assets in question wore not such ; beeauee when the timber of the proeince was old and the proceeds need for current expenditure they were really living upon Onterio's °vital. (Hear, hear.) In marked contrast to this bhey had the policy of the Sanclfield Macdonald Govern- ment,vvhich huabanded provincial resources Children Cry for Pitcher's Castorlal TI1VIES and Oxi quitting oillees left to their oredit nearly $1,000,000 in oath, The present Government had vent that eurplue durieg their term, and was only receiving the emelt amount of $4,791 in luterest. In 1884 the Crown Lands expenditnre amounted to $06,573, but in 1894 it had grown to $111,- 158. He thought the Government wore to be censured for net takina greater eteps to secure settlere, Ue nutintainecl that the province did net receive one-half the vein° lt ahould for the money expended in the northern portion of the province. The position taken by the Op- position was that the expenditure of money in tide direction should Fe entrusted to the keel authorities, who best knew the needs of a particular locality, and who would see that an adequate return was re- ceived. for the money spent. As showing the unprefitable oharaoter of the expendi- ture in the Crown Lands Department, Mr. Muter mentioned that the reeeipts of eight Crown Lands' agents for three years ouly amounted to $8,501,whilet the amount of salaries paid was 59,750, or an excess of $1,249 more than was received for the sale of land, Something has been said about amounts that were uncollected. He found from a return brought down at the close of last session of amounts owing for timber. dues, during the past six years that no less s. sum than $70,- 944 reratuned uncollected. It remained at the same figure in 1893 as in 1887. On looking into the 'neater he found that sums were due from members of Parliament, This was a state of affairs that should not exist, Mr, Marter contended that a very large saving could be effected if &system of public tender was adopted in preference to the present system of purohasing nom pole Waal supporters without inviting tenders. Referring to the question of the sale of timber lands, Mr, Martel asked how long the Government intended to pursue its present policy. As soon as this source of revenue was exhausted, some other way of raising money would have to be resorted to. Mr. Marter then dealt with the MANAGEMENT OF EDUCATION in the province. Under a political head the cost of management had increased 300 per cent. between 1871 and 1894. The Minister had a fad in regard to High schools, and every other educational in- terest was made to conform to it. The Public schools were being rendered ineffi- cient because of the everlasting practice of looking to the High schools. The Public school grant in 1892 was only 66 cents per head of the -population, whilst for the High schools the grant was 54.38. He gave figures purporting to show that 61 per cent. of the teachers of the province possessed the minimum or lowest qualification. This was not in the interests either of education or of the people of the province. Mr. Haycock expressed his pleasure at the grand effort of the hon. Treasurer. If, however, it had been made in a New York Legislature it would have been a still grander one, on account of the arraignment which it contained of the large salaries paid there to officials in institutions. He hardly thought the comparison made by the hon. Treasurer was a fair, one as it was a compari- son with a population three times a large as our own. It would be well if a comparison had also been made in the salaries of the Governors of the State and this province, which he did not think would have proved so eatisfactory. It was true that Ontario did not pay that salary directly, yet we paid as our proportion of salaries for such figureheads throughout the Dominion over 528,000 per annum, which he thought an unwarranted sum. He was glad to see that half the total amount of the increase in the estimates was to be devoted to agri- culture, In conclusion, he dealt briefly with the question of a fifth form in the Public schools, which he strongly favored. (Applause.) Mr. alatheeon expressed his appreciation of the ability displayed by the hon. Tree, surer in making his statements. There were two difficulties which prevented a proper conaideration of the annual state- ment. There were no proper details sub- mitted by which an adequate conception of the way the money had been spent could be obtained. The second difficulty was that the Government had mixed up their capital and ordinary expenditure in such a way that one could not tell whether they were increasing on ordinary expenditure or not. The surplus shown was taken out of the timber resources of the country, from which $2,970,000 had been taken in the last eix years to make up these deficits. (Opposition applause.) The speaker made a comparison between the expenses of in- mates in institutions throughout the pro- vince since 1872, an d showed that though the Cost of suppliea had constantly decreased the per capita charge for the keep of inmates had been conetantly increased, in many in- stances as much as forty per cent. In com- parison with the penitentiary at Kingston, the coat of rations at the Central prison was eleven per cent. higher and this was only one illustration of a system whie.h was by far too general. Many of the assets for which they took undue credit were simply trust funds, while the money which they paid to municipalities was only paying back to the people what they already own- ed. With regard to the succession duties, the hon. member thought it would be well if small estates could be released from the operation of the Act. He criticised severely the results of the expenditure for a mining drill, which had not been proper- ly managed. He then closed with an ex- pression of hope that the "disputed ac. count" matters would soon be settled, and urging the members to stand by the Opposi- tion in their just criticism of the record of the Government. Mr. Conmee said it was an easy thing to rise in one's place in this House and make empty charges as the hon. member had done. The hon. member had criticised the Government for its establishment of a dairy farm in Algoma. One of the chief planks of the Opposition in Algoma was that the Government was not doing enough for the Algoma, district. Con tin uin g, the hon. member defended in vigorous terms the ap- propriations made for mining last year. Mr. Commee then dealt with the comparative records of the Dominion and Ontario Gov- ernments,especially in their timber policies, by which he claimed the Local Government had saved many thousands of dollars. He concluded by rallying the Opposition upon the futility of their attacks upon the re- cord of the Government. STANDING COMMITTEES.

Mr. German enquired whether the Government had received from the Lundy's Lane Historical Society a request that a subsidy be granted in aid of the publication fund of the soeiety, e.ed, if so, whether a subsidy would be granted. Sir Oliver Mowat replied that et request had been received by the Government for such a subsidy in aid of the society in question, and they had inserted a sum in the estimates for tlfe purpose mentioned. THE HALDIMAND ELECTION, Sir Oliver Mowat moved that a writ be issued by the Clerk for the election of a member of the Legislative Aseembly to serve for the electoral district of Heidi - 'mend. The motion was carried. KILLED AN ELEPHANT. But the Itaiiway strain was Badly Smash- ed hi the Operation. The elephant is no more wonderful than his biographers usually make him.

ROSES IN ICE. New Zealand Now Snipping Flowers to London. Lord Byron pined poetically for "roses in December" as for the unattainable, says London Graphic. But the prttctioal genius of the present generation, which is gradually taking the poetry out of our daily life,has now made roses in mid -winter pos- sible. The P. and 0. steamer Gothic,newly arrived, has brought buds in this country from New Zealand, preserved in ice—just like mutton. If the unromantic association of roses with mutton should shock the nice sensibilities of our numerous young poets, they may find at least a pleasing suggestion of summer in the heart of winter in the idea of flowers living in a block of ice. They are said to look as if they had just been out, these blooms gathered in New Zealand and come to life again in this country. To be sure the poets will have to r vise their lan- guage with reference to the rose, but the experiment should suggeat some new thoughts upon the subject. At last origin- ality has a chance.
