FIGURES WORTH GLANCING OVER.
Figures are proverbially dry and
uninteresting, but such figures as
those contained in Canada s balance
sheet for 1897-98 should surely
?rove good reading to everyone who
has the best interests of his country
honestly as heart. During the previ-
ous four years the deficits had total-
''. led nearly $6,250,000 but when the

STILL CROAKING OF FAILURE.
The High Joint Commission will
will resume its deliberations in Qae-
bee next Tuesday and it is contident-
ently hoped that the Commissioners
will be prepared with definite pro-
posals upon which action may be
had. Tnough the Commission has
been adjourned, its critics have not
taken a holiday, and numerous lug-
ubrious propuesies of failure have
been given publicity. One section
has persistently reiterated the asses•

spite of Mr. Foster's prophesy that
the new Government could not pos-

without a deficit of at least $3,250,-
000 it was a furetaste of the improv-
ed methods that bad been Intl educed;
and this, the second year's round -up,
more than justifies the hopeful condi-
tion which was the beginning to
;nanifest itself.
A SUCCESSFUL PROPHET.
As a prophet .!Ur. Fielding is a

other momentous issues are deelared
to be hopelessly invoived, and impos-

factory to realize that the Commis-
sioners are statesmen, who will go
about their business and attend to
the duties of their high offices with-
out regard to these croakers. Patri-
otic citizens whether of the Empire
or the Republic are still firm in the
belief that substantial and lasting

of Finance anticipated a revenue of

is $40,275,701, an increase of nearly
2,500,000 over the previous year,
The expenditure on the consolidated
fund account was estimated by the
minister at $38,750,000, but it is
650.000 less, and instead of $550,000
avLich he estimated as his surplus

A POINT TO BE REMEMBERED.
So much bas been said about the
to adulterate is flour, and many have
been the means adopted to so adul- l
terated this necessary of life so as to i
reap extra gain and at the same
time avoid detection. The public is'
familiar with the customary adulter-
ants used, such as as alum, cornmeal, 1)R. A•

ant than either has now been exposed

remained for the unscrupulous neer
chants referred to above to put it on
the market as such. As to its not
being injurious to health, the mere
fact that it is absolutely worthless as
a nutrient, indicates that its introdue
tion into the stomach must be prcjn
dicial. It is not likely however, that
this feet will have any effect on
the hardened consciences of those
who deeire--in the words of the cir-
cular -to make from four hundred

adding it to their flour. To thein
the all•pewertul dollar is of more. irn-
portance than' the public health, and
all they fear is the pttblie analyst.
It is therefore incumbent on the,o
officials to be more than usaally on
the alert, as a substance like soap
stone is easily discovered in flour
when its presence is once suspected.
Now that the warning bas been
given, suspicion should be aroused
and every dubious sample submitted
to the usual tests for inineral adul-
terants. Consumers would do well
