PROVINCIAL AUDIT.
.Art estimate of the amount which.
the municipalities. of Ontario lose
every ten years by the dishonesty or
misfortunes of treasurers would run
into a startling sum. Guelph is the
latest sufferer to the extent of $18,000.
.A. wealthy and prosperons city of over
10,000 inhabitants, allowed its treasurer
au
annual salary of $800, one hundred
of which went to the Guarantee Com-
pany for his bond. In order to live,
the official had to engage in several
other enterprises. Some of the city's
• money seems to have gone into these
enterprises, and as a result the
treasurer is disgraced and the city is a
loser. But then the city has the
bond of the Guarantee Company. The
bond of a. Guarantee Company in such
a case is ornanaental but not useful.
The Guarantee Company pledges itself
to :make good any deficiency which
the auditors discover. Auditors at $50
per annum never discover any de-
ficiency, and as the responsibility of
the Guarantee Company ceases when
the report of the auditors is adopted,
the bond, which is Guelph's security
is worthless. All the misfortunes of
municipal treasurers point to the
necessity for a provincial audit. The
sum which municipalities now pay for
auditors who do not audit, would more
than maintain a department of provin-
cial auditors who would audit. There
could be an authorized form of muni-
cipal accounts, and provincial auditors
could go to the municipal treasurers
once a year, and oftener if desired,
and. check their books. The result of
the change would be that treasurers
woul& not attempt to deceive the
auditors, and the system would save
. them from disgrace and the muni-
cipalities from loss.
Ainong the new industries started
last week is a 13ax mUl at Shelburne,
Ont. Flax culture is profitable in Can-
ada if rightly gone about. .

Creamery butter is being shipped
from Illinois to japan. With the
splendid steamship service of the C.
P. R., this is a market which the
dairymen of Western Canada ought
to capture. By the way, the Japs
keep no cows.

Hon. A. S. Hardy has reason to hope
that Ontariomay give him its "active
sympathy," for if he gets "cold jus-
tice" his Gov'ernment will suffer for
that Owen Sound speech, at the next
provincial elections.

The farmers seem to be holding back
the grain, wheat especially, believing
that there will be an advance in the
present prices. They know the yield
of wheat to be irregular, and have
reasonable ground's upon which to base
the argument that an increase to per-
haps 80 cents per bushel before Christ-
mas willresult.

Usually, during the volunteer
camp in London, the supplies were
procured by tender. This year under
the new Liberal Government the con-
tract for supplies is given to Wends of
the party in power. This is a new de-
parture in this ono case, and a good
beginning at the fortification of the
party, so characteristic of the Ontario
Government.
It is announced that the arrange-
ments for the new servide between
Belgium and Canada, which have been
completed between the Belgium
Steamship Company and the Cana-
dian Government, contemplate a di-
rect service between Canada and. Ant-
werp, via Boulogne. A substantialin-
crease of trade may be looked for.
Thanks to the late Conservative
Government.

The first division in the new Domin-
ion Parliament took place on Tuesday
on Mr. Foster's motion of censure on
the Governor -General's Warrants, and
resulted in a majority for the govern-
ment of 34. The question of the vote
was not a strong party one, and sever-
al of the Independent Conservatives
voted with the Liberals, who polled
their full strength. It is thought that
the government can rely on arnajority
of about 20.

The old proverb, "all is -not gold that
glitters," is especially applicable to the
glittering generalities in which the
gold mines of British Columbia are ad-
vertised. British Columbia is mar-
vellously rich, and older Canada is
marvellously anxious to share in the
wealth of the Pacific province. The
public belief in the wealth of British
Columbia mines is an opportunity for
schemers, and for the sake of the
mining industry, it is to be hoped that
people who have money will also have
scense enough not to exchange their
money for shares An paper mines.
Great Britain has a long lead in the
export of bicycles. In the month of
July last alone, over $5,000,000 worth
of wheels was sent abroad from that
busy country.

Andrew Pattullo, the Liberal candi-
date for the seat in North Oxford va-
cated by Sir Oliver Mowat to take a
seat in the Dominion Senate, was on
Monday elected by a majority of 761
over Dr. Henry Adams, Independent.
The election was conceded to Mr. Pat-
tullo.

Proposals to shorten the session at
Ottaaja, in the hope of sending the
members home with the per diem al-
lowance of seven dollars • instead of a
sessional indemnity of one thousand
dollars will not succeed. There is re-
ally not work enough to keep this
parliament busy for thirty days at this
time. If parliament were prorogued
in less than thirty days, the country
would save money which the members
would lose. There will be another
session in January, so that three ses-
sions aud three indemnities within one
year will be the portion of members
who did not retire at the last election.

' •Regard for British interests may
urge the Canadian Government to
treat Li Hung Chang with more con-
sideration than he would ever getfrom
this country on his own account.
What has Li Hung Chang ever done
for Canada that the Government of
this country should spend the people's
• good money in the entertainment of
an almond -eyed heathen ? The esti-
mated amount of Li Hung Ohang's
fortune is his sole title to respect. He
is said in the course of his public career
to have laid up the tidy sum of $200,
• 000,000. The effect of his life has been
to increase his own bank account, and
• not to decrease the misery of his
, wretched fellow -countrymen. LiHung
Chang La called a statesman, but pow• -
er to arnase wealth does not 'constitute
statesmanship. To talk of him as one
of the great statesmen of the world is
surely to be absurd, •for Li Hung
Chang has not succeeded in giving in-
fluence to China, or happiness to the
Chinese. Canada, on her own account,
has no conceivable motive for courtesy
to Li Hung Chang. The country does
not want to stimulate immigration
from China, and all the politeness
which Canadian money can purchase
will not increase China's demand for
the product of this country's farms
and factories.

ENGLAND'S :TAX as SPORTS.
A Large r.:ev;.nue is Derived From Sport-
ing Licenses In tke Old land. .
New York, Sept. 7.-A Loudon corres-
pondent says: A Parliamentary return
shows how valuable to the national treas.
ury Is the universal devotion to sport in
England. Licenses for guns are taken out
by an average of 189,000 persons a year,
amounting to £85,000, half a sovereign be-
ing the charge for a license. There are
also other taxes covering sporting dogs,
etc., and there are the taxes paid by gun -
makers and the like. The fact Is quoted
as an argument against the abolition of
the game laws so abhorred by the Liberal
party.

grandly.

Defeated the Best TCAM 111 the ratted
^ State4 by Forty Runs.
The international cricket rnatch between
Canada and the United States, which be-
gan on Friday and was stopped by rain
Saturday, was concludeti thls afternoon.
and resulted in a victory for Canada by 40
runs. The defeat of the iocel emu was a
sad disappointment to the lean eticlen ad-
mirers,. who now feel that the local men
will make a poor showing against the Aus-
tralians, who are booked for three matches
bore, beginutng next week. The Canadians
well earned their victory by good all-round
cricket.
The great feature of their game, how-
ever, was the remarkable bowling of Ls itg.
His extremely fast bas, witit a very de- •
ceptive break at the wicket, eompletely
baffled the local bats. Ills performance
of Friday, when, in the first innings, he
took six of the local wickets for 17 runs,
was repeated to -day, he taking eight wick-
ets for 35 runs. .
When play was resumed at 11.30 ,o'biock
to -day, the visitors' score stood at 57 for
the first innings and 117 for the second,
with one wicket remaining,. This wicket
was quickly disposed of. Dean was bowl-
edfornothing on the last ball of King's
nrstover.
The crease was rolled. mid Patterson and
King, two of the best 'ot.al beaters, wow
sent in to open the Philadelphia second
innings. The wicket had dried, and the
local men felt confident that they would
be aim to score the required 352 runs to
win the match. The bowling of Laing and
McGiverin, however, was straight on the
wickets, and runs came very stowly, the
batters being obliged to carefully cover their
wickets. When the two men had scored.,
17, King raised one oft•Laing to Lyon at
mid-off, and retired. Wood joined Patter-
son, and the latter was almost nnmediate-
ly clean bowled by Laing, the scbre not
having been increased. So it contiuued
throughout the innings, Laing's deadly de-
livery resulting most disastrously.
The only free hitters were Biddle and
Clark, the former running up a score of 23
and the latter carrying out his bat for 13.
Biddle had two lives given him, MeGiverin
missing a line drive and McIntosh losing
a tip at the wicket. Both were difficult
chances, and the misses were esensed.
These were the only misplays of the vis-
itors, their fielding being clean ..ind their
throwing true. Muir defended his wicket
,for 79 mubnutes, but In that time gathered
together only 10 runs.
Laing bowled almost the entire tunings.
Lyon relieved him at the Chit) House rite&
but a few minutes later Laing went on le
MeGiverin's place at the other end. Lithig
was more effective from the cinb Inure
end, and he soon returned to that place and
finished the game there. Little and ,Aelc-
. land, in order to catch an early train -for
Ottawa, left tbe field after the eighth
• wicket had fallen, their places being theen
-by Noble of the local team and 'Hawley, a
Germantown Club professional. The tno
substitutes ,had very littie to do.
