The public accounts for the Das e year Jiave een 4roaglij dcn.n and the estimates of expenditure for the current year have been submit- ted and notice has been given if several public and private bills. The budget speech has not yet been de- livered nor have any of the timeert- ant Goverement measures been sub- raitted. Indeed the Government 'seem to have been in a state of ve.ry great lunreadiness whert the session opened and hence the delay. It looks as if the rush at theend of the session, against whicheeire Whitney used to justly inveigh when he was Ln .opposition, (will be as great as unbar the old regime, if not mere' so. The (Government (have appoint- ed eer. erellmueh, K C., of London, and Alderman (Geary, of Toranto, to look after the :interests of Ontario galley .helders before the ensterance Carnmission appointea by the Do- minion Government.

'Ibis Association holds a meeting every year fer the aiSensaien et sUbjects tretteting to Agricultaral Societies and its ob- feet is the improverctent of the meth-- eds of the societies and also the im- provemtnte of the ehows held. under the auspices of ehe soeieties. At the last meetieg of this Association, held a couple of "weeks ago in Torontp, there was a lively diseussion of the advisabilit y of pert/tatting horse 1 xaeing at fall shows. Ncisy t 4e. statutes forbid. horse racing; lo• thier s • than trials of epeed, at fail shows and there is a heavy penalty previd-. ..1_ fer all infrectiens of the- la.w in this respect. As e result of :the. diSeussion at this meeting a reSo- letien AV(iS INIi4Sed to the. effect ilhat as there is a general desire ori he part of the pub] i c to have horse ISac- ing, and as t be law pechibiting ho se eeentry fairs iprecti al- ly a dead issue, the Legislat re 1`..iinir at s should be asked to repeal tho lew and leave the. question of racing,to be divided by each society for itself. We do not think that thie resolu- -"sal was Wttri 4}CIV1:ied ane We ; NO enovinc-Pd that the Legielatare iwili make a mietake if they repeal! the nertion of the law referred ins The Repesitro has no objectiens to horse rscing. We believe it to be an in- ieresiinst and benefieial sport. There le no more - harm in horse racing fisin in Coot 'raoing . or any kher sport, 'It is the usual accoMpani- n le ni e or horse racing which, are. harmful. The pool fielling, betting and general blac.kguardiarn which so: frequently aecornpanies the popular harse recce are abjectionable and in- ittrionse If horse racing eon's' be carried. on without these objections 'this" features it would not be. injur- ious in ney sense. 'The thing is to have horse racing ceinducted SO as to be free from these objectionable ac- cessories. If the law eeferred to should be repealed there is very great 'danger that the fall ehows would in many tams bee.eme simp- ly a carnival Ruch as too -frequent- ly exists on the regular eaeetrack. That is to •be guarded against at all haezards. But if horse races or trials of eneed as they are designat- ed, could be carried on as they a re. 110W in connection with many socies • ties we are of the opinion they are beneficial rather- than Injarions. They suPPIY the demand in the ha- lms/ mind for each sports and thy enable those who have a liking in this direetion to gratify this liking in its most. innocent form arid with - oat being nontaminated .or offended by eny of the mare gross evils of the eace track. The great thing is to lm•ep from these races the element of professienalient. That is being done row to a gresit exlent. The . prizes offered are not /ergo enough to in- , Iluee professional patronage while ihe absenee of pooreelling and net- ting render them too tame for the p*fessional. borber race, man. But while this .is !the ease in this airec- tien, they mouton ne: much interest to the local 'onlooker and are atit great an attraetion in the show as 7 if /the faittest horses in the tandtry` were eorapeting. A four Minute race if closely- contested is equally as interesting as a t.op race that is not as closely contested, be advisable to thriew th s While, therefore, it 4 doorwide would not open by repealing the prohibitory seetion, as is proposed by the mo- tion carried by 'the Association re- ferred to, we ithink it might be !am- ended with advantage. The differ- enee between la horse Tate and a. test of speed might be mare 'minute- ly defined; pool selling and betting in connection with: these -trials of speed should be made peeniehable of- fences ;•horses tender a certain Mark or horses that had won money on a professional race -track ,shoteld be ineligible and it -might also be made a rule •that axone of the fiends of ea- cieties 'drawing Government (money should be devoted for smell purposes, If rates are desired by the societies let them raise (the money by private subseription for thet purpose. With these changes and (restrictions there would Ape be any danger of the show races corrupting the morals or working injuay to any person, .nor would they be (likely to interfere 'frith the efficiency of the show in other directions. On the contrary, they would, be altogether beneficial as they -would afford to the shows the litttle bit of spice which seems to be so anu.ch craved by the binnlan faMily . and would furnish this in an - unobjectionable form and in tbis way add to the attractiveness of the sbow and help to increase the gale receipts, .which is a, most important consideration. Lee fhe races be 00n- irmed where they art considee:ed de - treble, but let them be continued '.nder jueicious restrictions. •eereeee, The Finances ofOntario It will be seen by the following which we take from the Mail and Ernpire that the- ^new. GoVeenment of Ontario'. are, diepensing the Maui cas of the Provinde with ne niggard- ly hand. The Mail says:. The Provincial estimates foe the, eurrent year provide for an expen- diture vaster than has been," but, the estimated expenditure is still well within the revenues for last year. Tlie increases are amply jus4 tified by the expanding needs of la" growing province and are based o sound business (principles of wise ex penditure for adequate. returns. Th total, %amount asked for is $5,625,543, as'eompared with an expenditure lase year of $5,396,016. Tbe supple- mentary estimates will further in- crease by a substantial sum the a- mount tasked for in the main eatira- ates. The -Government contemplates a large addition to the vote for ede ucation, espeeially in regard to the public schools. Froth the estimates. submitted yesterday must be sub- tracted however, et least $209,000, whiehwill be paid back to the pro- vince ;in reeelpts from the Ontario Agricultural College,the Central,. Prison industries, and. the sale of timber on lands adjacent to the Terniskaming and Northern Railway to be cleared during the. year. Col. ?,,fatleissen 'has given the _gross and not the net expenditures in miler to 'arrive at a correct estimate of. Ontario's 'receipts and expeedituies.. Liberal increases - have been given to •nearly all the civil Service 'em- ployees bolding important and re- eponsible pOSitione. No Deputy Min- ister is (now toreceiv& less than $3,000 per year. First and second elass clerks, secretaries in depart-, ments, etc., have nearlyeell receiv- ed increases ranging krone. $50 to $506. In the Department of Educa- tion an increase of $101,517 is melted for, with a further large sum to be added when the Educational Act is brought down. The School of Practical,: 'Science is genetously treated. The educational work of the department of Agriculture is to be further extended by an increased grant of $40,872. Thr estireate.s for pit -bee bleedings provide for an in-; crease of $177,418 in the expenditure. Among the Individual salary in- creas'es may be. mentioned eeee0 for the Speaker, $500 for the Provincial. Auditor, James 'Clancy. ex -M. P., and $400 for the, Sergeant -a t -Arms. iettee Editorial Notes and Comments The Peterboro Examiner claims to sPoak with. authdrity in saying that Mr. Boss will remain as leader of the Opposition . at Toronto, prefer- ring the activities of the position - to a seat. in- the Senate. It ie un- dersteod the new senator will be Mr. Robert Jaffray, of Toronto. Mr, Jaffray is better material for the Senate than Mr. Ross.

There ,are about 1,100 cheese factories and ereameries in the province, and the services of at least two inspeetors would be re- quired. It is now the duty of the local boards ;of health- to see that they are kept In a sanitary condi- eion, but it is argued that this tduty is sadly neglected, and hence the ne- cessity for inspection by an bade - dependent authority.„ It would be well to include slaughter -houses and batoirs with cheese factories and reatneries. • • • • • It is a great thing for the Prov- ence of Ontario, and indeed for e the whole of Va.nada, that the experi- ments being carried on at Sault Ste. Marie, ender the direetion of the Dominion Departmentof the Inter- ior for electrical smelting, have proved suecesseue. This announce- ment was officially made last Week. It ha -s been proved cenamereialle pos- sible to produee pig iron, steet and nickel *pig by the .eleetric process. There are vast edeposits of iron are in Ontario and Quebec, and at Sunbury there is the greatest nickel xteto in the world. There are no boa' deposits convenient of access, but . abundant water power for the produetion of electricity. And now it is found that pig iron oau Pe• pro- duced from Canadian magnetite ore and nickel pig from nickeliferous pyrrhotite as satisfactorily by the electric process astbylothe familiar blast - furnace. This simply means that Canada :will shortly take a place as one of the greatest iron, steel and nickel producing countrisos in the world. • • • • We are glad to welcome so power- fuT an agent as the Toronto Globe to the ranks of those who adtocate the reconstruction or ,abolition of the Dominion Senate at -Ottawa. The Globe says: In. the machinery of legislation and adrainistrtion a. Sen- ate is as useful as a third wheel a cart or a fifth leg on a dog. Per- haps a is even more useful than 'sixth appendages, tut its greater uselluaness is not pparent. It is the obsolete implement of a gevern- ing class and it appears and reap- pears as a res alt of man's faculty of, imitation. • • • • Hon. Wm.

Address and Presentation. - On ,Alopeay night the membersen ad- herents of Staffa Methodiet church. to the number of about eighty, took - arossession of tthp, parsonage, Rev. E. L. Wilson 'and Wife were asked to come forward when Mr. F. D. Hut- chison, in his 'unique manner, read the following address:-" To Rev. R. L. 'Wilson and Mrs. Wilson, -Pear Friends, -Among the members and adherents er your congregation, at Staffa., there his been some dissatis- factien with eheir beloved pastor and his amiable, wife, and, as it was thought by one and all, Sir, that in- stead of talking behind youe backs it would be better to eetne before Yon and say nihat they had rto your face. It was thought that 'the min- ister's wife works too hard and rests too little. They, therefore, selected her. as a fit and proper person to occupy the chair, fondly believing her capable of holding it down. As to the paetor himselfe the congrega- tion would like' him to -have some style about thine and, instead of • wearing a good fur coat, Wear a bet- tereone. They therefore ask him to accept this.coon skin coat and call it Jus own, in the hope that it may tit 'him, If, however, should be too large, eve' shall be pleased to feed him up to fill.lt ; if lee.too small, we 'shall be pleased to train fhim down to fit it; if it le3 too (long, we shall be pleased to shorten it; if it is too short, it will be long enough before he gets aeother. Signed. on behalf of. the congregation, -T. G-. Selery, W. Sadler, Fell,.H. :Ken- nedy, T. Morrison, W. Butler, P. L. elatchison, and R. I. Dalton."
