lielping Themselves. .

The Government, some days before the
. ,
elose of the session, submitted further
supplementsty , estiniatee providing for
the increase of the salaries of the mem-
bers of the Government, and for the in,
crease of the indemnity to members of
the Legislature., 'It is scarcely necessary
to say that the sums asked for ie these
estimates were granted without a dies
senting voice.; Ministerialists and: Op-
positionists were alike willing to meet,
the views of the Government in this mat- ,
ter. The Attorney Genera:a salary has
• been ihereasect $1,500, and cads of the
other ministers receive en increase of
I
$1,300, while the sessional ,allowande of 1
members is increased $200. The present
I
salaries of ininist rs are: Attorney Gen-
eral, $4,000; ' am the other' members of
j
the Executive ouricil, $3',200. ' Their
salaries will, therefore, staid in future
as follows: Atterney General, $5,500 ;
and the other ministers, $4,500.- 'The
-sessional allowanice of members will be
$800. The total, increase slums. up to
$24,300. We notice that several of our
contemporaries on both sides of politics
con em.n the Goyernment end. Legisla-
ture for making this increase in selaries.
•We are not inlfir habit of apologising
for acts of the 4overnment which we do
not consider righti, but have no t hesitat-
ed to condemn Many acts whica we con-
sidered not in aecordance with the inter-
ests of the co-ae4ry. In this instance,
however,- we ;ate ;fully prep4-ed to com-
mend and justify the action of the Gov-
, ena,ment and Legislature. ` The salaries
which the members of the Government I
are to receive are not larger than are ,
given to the judges and heads of mane- 1
tary and, other' important institutions. ;
-The defies pertaining to the position of
a Minister of the Crown are certainly as
- :
empOrtant and, es onerous, as are the ,
duties of those other officials we have al-
luded to, and if ;they are, kshy .should
those who perform theta net be equally
as well paid? If the membeiri of the Gov- ,
ernment abandon their own occupations I
and devote their individual 'attentio_ n to
official duties, which they should dotthe •
salary, even with the inerdase recently
granted, will not do more than ademiate,
ly. remu•nerate them. • :With respect to
• the members of the , Legislature, their
former. allowance of -$600 was certainly
no meat - indecement for Men of ability
to neglect their 4wn private affairs for
• two months each year to serve a constit-
uency in the 1Le islature, and the in-
crease voted will ot maim the allowance
larger than it sbo ld be. ' The members
• of the Dominion Parliament receive, a
• sessional allowane
son begrudges it t
Dominion member
surely $800 is not
crease to heir sessional allowance.
ac Ant g the last session are
mo 0 dm rving of censure than t
we re s re that those journals
are now loudly condemning th
lat re foi. making the increase hav
ed‘ t 5s: much less heinous.

and- f he refuses to subscribe liberally he
is putdown as a mean man. He is also
expected to give special prizes to agricul-
• tural societies, and do many other favors
• of this kind which are a continual drain
upon his purse. In addition to this every
constituent who has any grievance which
he thinks should be aedreesed either writes
to or 4alls upon the representative of his
• Riding to urge it upon his attention. The
representative has to write a eeply, or has
to give his constituent an audience.. All
this °emirs during the interval between
sessioris and takes up the time of the re-
,
pre,sentative which should be devoted to
his own business. If all the time which
the representative:, losesan this and other
ways, when Parliainent is not in session
and when he is supposed to be off duty,
were taken into account, to say nothing
of the 8111ns he is required to give in the
• ways we have mentioned, we have no
doubt but that even with an allowance of
$800 he will be out of pocket at the end
of tae year. Th,er are few men so pat-
riotic and self sac ificing that they will
•serve the public, eten in Par/fan:lent, for
any considerable time, at a pecuniary loss
• to themselves, and if we do not amply
remunerate our representatives for their
•services by a direct, salary, they will •se-
cure that remuneration for themselves in
some indirect way. The better way is,
therefore, _to remove from them the
temptation to do this by affording them
sufficieat pay,. for their services, so that
they will not require either to act dis-
honestly or lose money. We, therefore,
think that the Legislature have acted

after hearing the views of =me

I do not know if the prohibit -Mn code

deemed. a quixotic proceeding, but some
enthusiasts are never daunted even in the
face of rinsurmountable: difficulties. I
think it is conceded that Canada follows
closely on the heels of her brother across
the border in her fondness fer the "fra-
grant weed," in all its ::forms, and we
learn on the authority of the United
States Government that their two chief
seurces of revenue are the customs and
inland revenue taxes ; the inland taxes
for the last fiscal year were $80,000 more
than for the preceding year, and these
taxes are almost entirely raised from
spirits, malt liquor and teba,cco and the
tobacco taxes alone yielded during the
year over thirty-seven millions, and in
the manufacture and sale of tobacco and
cigars 450,003 persons were being mem- .
ed, and. it is estimate(t that nine millions
of people in that country are consumers
of the Weed, being at le* twoethirds of
the adult male population, .and the an-
nual consumption of each -user averages
15 pounds of tobacco j and 248 cigars or

II should be sorry to think that ieleg' --
ion, which has done so much to elevate
humanity, has got to be: a matter only
for Controversialists and: Ritualists, but
a glance at the columns: of our public
journals clearly demonstrates that there
exist phases of faith which attracts many,
and the 'conclusion is forded upon us that
no church can with truth assert itself to
be the church of any one class holding
unity of opinion. I am glad to think
that the intellect of a man adopting the
true Christian faith, which is the purest
l
and simplest faith of the world will pro-
tect him, against the specious reasonings
of the, ontroversialist, however subtle
and argementative,,and enable him to
pierce through the veils of ritual and
ceremony, however elaborate. and how-
ever gorgeous, to the life and. -teachings
of the Author of the " Sermon on the
Mount," that one infallible i creed of

"Lover of Justice," in which he attempts
to; reply principally, as he professes, to
the strictures of the Returning Officer on

clude charges of inerapaeity; and even
worse, against the Council. If your cor-
respondent had confined' himself to his
statements of hostility to the Manner in
which the late nominations lead been con -
deleted, I would be under no necessity to
review the objections of I " A Lover of

circumstances, would be; Unjust both to
the Council and the public. Your cor-
respondent speaks of arngs" and a pres

one familiar with doing business in these
questionable respects. If he means that
the Council were, individually or collect-
ively, a party to, or that any such a thing
existed, ;he makes a mistake that few_
out of ,his own particular ring will be
found to endorse. a Ourilleeve;" he gees
.on to say, "complains of rings in the
County Council," and at,ionce concludes
we have them nearer home, but stops
short in 'stating whether they exist with-
in the Council or outside of it. If he
means the fernier, his charge is distinct-
ly denied ; if the latter, his word may be
sufficiently reliable; in the one case, he
but hints it is true at this possibility,
while in the other he perhaps speaks
autheritively of this existence„ "A
