As an evidence of the c e a
judgment displayed by the late Mr. ett
redy, Scottishovocaliet, in conducting his
business and also of the success which
crowned his career, it may be mentioned
that he accumulated a fortune -of over
•-$7.5,001M Th.e. bolt of this is invested in
highly productive property in 'Scotian
and a goodly'portion In Aesti'alrn-•

from $129,10046 $110, 9,001:. The estiMitte'or
Civil Government is increased from $186,794
to $190,165. The Eetimates go to show
that care and economy has been practised in
all the Departments daring the year, and no
doubt the Treasurer's statement of the finan-
cial position of the Province will be satis-
factory.
Notwithstanding that the Conservatives
argued during the 'provincial general
elections that there was no surplus, Onta
rio has according to tlie,provincial treas-
urer's budget speech" the nice little nest
egg of $6,680,339. Mr, A. M. Ross made
an excellent point in his speech in charg-
ing that the Dominion government
treated Ontario unfairly in the matter of
granting railway subsidies to local rail-
ways, and showed that bad it not been for
the,direct assistance of the Ontario pro-
vincial government, this province would
to -day be in a bud position so far as rail-
way -communication was concerned. The
province of Ontario everybody knows
contributes more .than one half the entire
revenue to the Dominion treasury ; and
yet during the past five years -the Domin
ion grants for railway purposes have been
thus proportioned :..-
Ontario .. $ 3,286,00.0
Quebec 10,755;000
Nova Scotia..... 2,494,000
New Brunswick t 3,476,000
$20,011,000
If the above Dominion subsidies had
been divided upon the basis of Ontario
revenue contributions, Ontario's propor-
tion of the whole would,have been about
$10,000,001) instead of $3 000;000 ; andif
according to population, about $9,000,000.
The „people of this province have been
more self reliant and self helpful in rail-
way building than those of any other pro-
vince, and the above is the manner in
which Sir John Macdonald encourages
them. He actually refunded to Quebec
nearly three millions of dollars for the -
past construction of railways, but refused
to refund to this province one single
dollar.
•
In a speech. at Toronto, Sam Jones
said: Over in our country whe,n a man
tries to be on both sides of a political
question we call him a mugwump, and
when a man tries to reconcile the exis-
tence of a saloon with the temperance
question he is ajugwump, (laughter,) and
of the two I would sorner bo a mugwump,
Within the past five years, t e Dramin-
; iou has,accordinrg to the Provin ial Treas-
urer, voted $20,000,000.in aid o local rail -
.ways. • The money has been d'stribu -d
thus:-- Ontario, $3.,286,000; Qu -e' 10,
875,000 ; Nova Scotia, $2,424,000 w
Ne
Brunswick,$3,476,000. At the same time
Ontario pays the giant's shale 6f 'the tax-
ation. Mr,M,ercier, whose province bas
received•Jlalf'of the twenty millions, now
desires a revision of the terms of Confed-
eration with 'a view, to securing ,larger
concessions froth the general fuuds for
Quebec and Mr Mowat has been, or is• to
be, invited to attend a 'ed'nference, the
duty of whidh shall be to put the demand
upon the Dominion •into shape Tho in
vitation to the Ontario • Geveriement, in
view of Mr Ross's figures,looks very much
like a suggestioq that this province shall
'open its pockets and submit calmly and
uncomplainingly to robbery,
A telegram from Halifax city says :—
This city is greatly excited ov.er the en-
forcement of the new, provincial license
law, which forbids the • eellinir of liquors
in hotels to others than guests to ale drunk
only in private room.r;r.meal's. At -shops
liquor cannot be sold in less quantities
than a pint, and this is to be taken away
and drunk. Between these two restric-
tion there is no chance for the barroom
toper at all. Little clusters 'of drinkers
could be seen on me eidenialk'going 'part-
sets itra purchase, th-eliquor -being--car-
ried out in the measure and drank from
glasses borrowed from late bars, .or •turn
about from the measure itself. • Keepers
of leading hotels say their receipts have
taller off ene-half, while the price of
licenses is three ti•mesas high as befin•e,
and much additional help is required to
carry drinks to rooms or to tables. The
measure was passed last year, but. only
came into force,two days. ago.- ,It was
strenunnsly opposed by the Halifax mem-
bers of the House, hut was carried by the
votes of the county members.' nearly all
of whom are constrained to support strict
temperance legislation. A peculiar fee
tore Of the bill is that inspectors of licenses
must be members of good standing of some
recognized temperance society.

• The rumor that ?Jr. Mercier would
propose a redistribution of the Quebec
constituencies turns out to be correct, but
it does not necessarily follow that he will
nerrNmertder. He will probably ask the
Legista'ure to fix the numerical strength
of the new cot's ituencies. and then leave
it to a coin Mission composed of judges to
mark the bouudart>,. This is a fair and
liberal plan. It will be quite a feather. in
