MANITOBA'S BUDGET.
Increased Subsidy Keeps Balance on
Right Side.
The annual budget speech of the
Provincial Treasurer commences
with a note of warning as to the fu-
ture and as to the "rich man's
panic," through which the financial
world hoe been passing. Mr. Agnew
announced a reduction in the stir -
pins front 1618.390 of the f)nanciel
year ending Dec. 31, 1908, to only
*294.363.11 for the financial year just
ended. He showed how he arrived at
this surplus, which was by taking the
reeeipto from the consolidated reve-
nue for the year Par, which amount-
ed to *9,116,734.12, and deducting
therefrom the ordinary expenditure,
whieh, he claimed. amounted (exclud-
ing capital expenditure) to 11.624,-
381.n1, which leaves a Pnrplus of 42P4.-
353.11.
294:3,3.11. The decresee in the surplus
is net. due to hard times, •s later on
the Preyineial Treasurer gave the fig -
tires of his own estimatee In 1907,
and the aetu4l receipts in that year.
The estimates made by Mr. Agnew
amounted t„ 5,047,497.46, whereas the
total mental reeeipts were *2,116.734.12,
an inereese of 471.236.88 over the Wt.
mate. The menial receipts' were Also
*29,002.00 in excess of the previous
year.
I ' yConeluding with bis estimates for
the year 190e. the Provincial Treasur-
er •arum's that the revenue will
amount to 12,017,997 40. This startling
increase over previous years is prin-
eipalh' due to an estimated income
from Government telephones of 1625,-
M0, ns against an expenditure of only
I **30.930. The total estimated expen-
diture for 1906 Mr. Agnew placed at
12,440,639.37. in his closing remarks
he admitted that the Government ,had
made mistakes, hut, it is claithed,
they wero made honeeUy end that
they expected criticism.
Big Reunion el Canadians.
Four hundred sturdy sons of Can-
ada, representing all walks of life in
New England. gathered at the 21st
annual banquet of the Maritime Pro-
vine.s Association recently in \\'or-
sester.
Cheers for the land of their birth,
old-time songs, dear to every Cana-
diaa, the rekindling of old friendships
and stirring speeches lauding the
land of their birth were features of
the evening.
Acting Mayor Coates welcomed the
gathering and said: "Canada hes
helped 01 in every way, but her great-
est help is to giving us the men 1
m
enow addreaetng.' Timet apes -hes
by men from every province were
well received. Everything was Cana-
dian in trine and nothing was emitted
that would make the reunion memor•
able.

FISH PROTECTION IN CANADA.
Great Lakes Ars Rapidly B.ing De-
pleted -Clew Time Needed_
At a meeting of the,rAm•ricau Fish-
eries Society, he1d,,,af Erie • short
time ago. Mr. A. Kelly Lean* of To-
ronto read a valuable paper advocat-
' Ing a better protection of fish iu inter-
national waters. Mr. Evans is secre-
tary of the Ontario Fish and (lame
Protective Association, and, along
with Mr. Oliver Adams has brought
about the formation of thirty-five
branches of this organization through-
out Ontario. Its object is to oonaeree
the great but diminishing Bab wealth
et the province. One of the most
' striking features of the address de-
livered by Mr. Kelly Evans was an
extract he read from the evidence tak•
en by the commission appointed by
the Dominion Government, fifteen
years ago, to enquire into the fresh
water fisheries. Albert Hutchins was
a witness before the oommisafon at
Midland. He had been fishing in the
great lakes since 18500. Under exam-
ination he said:
"I have tithed in Lake Ontario for
about thirty years for whltsflsh and
trout. the great majority wets white-
fish and were caught at Wellington
Beach. They were caught very num-
•roualy with wines, as many as from
6,000 to 10,000 in one haul during the
night; this was in the summer time,
In June and July. These were salted
or sold on the ground to dealers. 1
have caught as many in a season as
would allow the owners of the seine for
their share about $2,000, the other
12,000 would go to the fishermen. Evert
more than this number were caught
sometimes Fishing was carried on
ie the fall of the year also. White-
fish were thick also everywhere in
Lake Ontario at that time. I have
known as many as 00.000 to be taken
in one haul in one night; I was pres-
ent and saw them counted. I have
often known of from 5,000 to 10.000
being taken. and have taken 40,000
myseU in a seine several times; this
was in July, at Wellington Beach.
Those that were saved of the 00,000
hauled were salted, many of these
were lost because they could not be
taken care of. There was another
haul as large as this taken at West
Lake Beach; the net was a 175 rod
seine. It was then called the 'sou'-
wester'. When I left Lake Ontario,
some fourteen years ago. there was
no whitefish to be had by the fisher-
men where these great hauls had
been made before, in fact the white-
fish fishery had ceased to exist, there
was no more of it. 1 left Lake On-
tario to fish here, and a number of
other fishermen also left there for the
same cause."
Such was the fish wealth of take
Ontario not so very long ago! Half
a century of waste and slaughter
leaves the lake to -day almost a bar-
ren stretch of water. If it is not too
late, certainly it is not too soon, to
form fish protective societies in or-
der that a campaign for the preserve -
tion of our fish may be carried on
with vigor.
The Suffragettes.
Canada awaits, not without Cram-
binng the honor of a- visitation by
the Suffragettes. Then are two great
institutions on which we depend for
our civilization and happiness the
,tate and the family. Both are just
now in conflict with revolutionary
forces. which in both cases perhaps
have their source In passion es much
as in thought, and are consequently
violent in their manifestations. Vio-
lent is surely not too strong an epi-
thet to be applied to the demonstra-
tions of the Suffragettes over the
water. Strange would be the state of
a family in which ouo of these should
be wife and mother. The men alone
make the laws because they alone
can uphold them. The men 'alone de-
clare war because they alone can
figbL Men, as a rule, regulate the
family, though with women as their
helpmates, because as a rule it is
their duty to maintain it. Suclt ap-
parently is the ordinance of nature,
which assigns at the same time to
woman • sphere gentler, but not by
any means less momentous. No speci-
fic charge seems to have been brought
by the Suffragettes against British
legislation. They do not, it is hoped,
want greater laxity of divorce. Upon
that question the children have •
claim to be heard. Mothers carnet
well attend Parliament or public of-
fices, and yet their practical exclusion
from petit:ea would be the exclusion
of the most important part, and, gen-
erally speaking, of the most prudent
part, of the sex. It is to be hoped
that our fair visitors will leave this
country with the conviction that the
harmony of the family is as dear to
the wife as it is to the husband, and
that her belief is not likely to be shak-
en by such physical argumente RA
the Suffragettes heve been using in
England. It 1e but jest to the leaders
of the present •gitetinn, who appear
to be Radicalsto bear in mined that
it was the Tories, with their Primrose
League. that started the agitation in
England. The Radicals in takin it
up are giving it a less decorous form.
Faction spares nothing, not the do-
mestic hearth or the cradle-Ooldwin
