FRIDAY, MAR. 8, 1899.
IT is said that Robt, BIrmingham, for
years the organizer of the Oonservative
forces, will be eide•tlacked and A. W.
Wright appointed in bis stead. A general

forward to the next Dominion eleotion,

proved faoilibies and better freight and
passenger rates. Brussels should not be
deaf or dumb in this matter if there is a
probability of the road being built.
Tete Government of the United States
offered to convey the remains of Lord
Hereollell to Great Britain on one of
their war ships but the British
cruiser "Talbot" will be used in-
stead. His body will be buried at
Clyffe, Dorchester, about March 21st,
after a funeral service et Westminster
Abbey. Lady Herschell has been Win-
tering in the South of France and issore-
ly grieved over the sudden demise of her
husband.
Donanrox Parliament will assemble on
Thursday of next week, Despite little
croake from the Opposition everything is
moving along prosperously as the Doming
session will show. Canada's finances
continue to grow. The year commenced
with a surplus of $1,722,000. For the
eight months of the current fiscal year
ending February 2811e, the revenue was
$28,263,045, as compared with $24,705,613
for the same period in 1898, making an
increase of 04,518.032. The expenditure
was $93,597,134, as against $21,595,148
for 1898, an increase of $2,001,991, leaving
a net increase in the revenue of 02,561,-
041. The revenue for February was
03,620,163, as compared with 03,319,490
for February, 1898, making an increase of
0301,573. The expenditure was $2,244,-
500, as against 01,900,495, making an
increase of 0344,014. Keep down expense,
Mr. Laurier, and proceed with the capable
management ea in the past and there
won't be much reaeon for kicking.
As may be seen by the official returns
given in another column the majority
given for Nelson Monteith as M. P. P. for
South Perth in the bye election on Tues-
day of last week was 7 instead of 30 as
resported last week. It seems that the
reversing of the returns from one division
made the difference. A.recount is spoken
of but it is doubtful if much change would
be made by this process. Barrister Mos -
Grip was elected at the general election
but resigned after attending the short
session held last Fall owing to an inform-
ality in ballot printing, He declined to
be a candidate and V. Stock, a clever
German, of Tavistock, took his place and
made a good run. Mr. Monteith is a
Conservative in politics so that his return
reamed Hon. Mr. Hardy's majority in
the Local Legislature. Sir John A. Mao.

the Order 59.1;288. According to the report
of Dr. Stanley, Chairman of the Medical
Board, the death rate, with the exception of
one year, was lower lastear than ever be-
fore. The sick and funeral l benefit fund, ac-
cording to the report of Dr. Young, eased -
ate of the Medical Board, is not in as satis-
laotery shape as the insurance fund. The
matter of placing it on 0hotter basis will be
considered at a later stage, T. W. Gibson,
in presenting the report of the Auditors,
called attention to the fact that the Order
has now on hand 52200 for each 91,000 of
