FRIDAY, JAN. 21, 1898.
"Moine meet Go" wee sung until all
the uotee wero worn off the linos nud
spaces, but a new piece of ntusfc is now
being presented by our brother journalists
who edit Conservative papers, bearing the
pleasing title "'Whitney will Wiu," It is
written in a minor key, running much of
the way oil B Slat, and will be sung as a
companion to "Just Before the Battle,
Mother," or "Johnnie get Yon): Gun."
It is probable that the Hardy hosts will
be Idd on to the strains of "See the Con.
quering Hero Comes," as the Hon. A. S.
leads the van. "Pigs in Clover" is sag.
gested as a suitable solo for Mr. St. John.
Tuts week we present our readers with
a very full report of Provincial Treasurer
Harcourt's budget speech, and would ad-
vise everybody to read it. If you are e
Liberal in politics, carefully peruse it, so
that you may be in a position to combat
the arguments of those politically oppos-
ed to yon in the forthcoming election ; if
you are a Conservative, read and digest
the presentation from Mr. Harcourt so
that you will be well grounded on both
sides. Almost every person is ssarobing
for information, end we make it possible
this week for a good many to possess a
copy of the financial standing of this fair
Province.
Ten ns is a good chunk of human uature
visible in the world yet and it bobs up
serenely every now and theu when offices
and gifte de not come into possession of
those who think they deserve them, and
if they are passed by they fly into a pet
and say all that is bad about those who
were blind to their claims for preferment.
We have noticed that when there are
gifts to be made, by either party, that
there is not half the difftoulty in ascer-
taining the whereabouts of many indi-
viduals, either geographically or political.
ly, as when work is Lobe done or a sub-
scription list passed round. Every loyal
elector should do his duty for his country
whether he secures the plums or not.
The American system of kicking every
man out of office as soon as the ruling
party is dethroned, is decidedly wrong, in
our opinion, and yet the maintaining of
men in office who often are a detriment
to the advancement of the powers that be
is also off color. Greed and selfishness
are the cause of many a ruction, but these
will likely exist as long as men forget
their duty to one another.
Tue appointment of a Provincial Audi.
tot and the fact of a visit from him being
one of the probabilities in every munici-
pality, will do more to secure se better
class of account keeping the country over
than anything e'se that has been done for
years. As au aid to a simpler and more
convenient form of securing this end, the
new cash book for Municipal Treasurers
appears to be just what was wanted and
by its general use a uniform system will
exist throughout the Province. There is
no shortage of laws—there are cords of
then—but what is wanted is simplification
and practicability, so that ordinary, every-
day affairs may be transacted with a clear
and well defined idea of the right. We
believe this is the target aimed at by the
Ontario Government, and they have
made more than one bull's eye too. If a
law were framed to make the financial
municipal year close concurrent with the
calendar year, we doubt not but a big ad-
vantage would be gained. In this event
the Auditors' report would supersede the
financial statement now prepared after
December 16th, and a clear, complete and
yet concise rep ort could be rendered at
each municipal nomination.
