CURRENT TOPICS
WIIERE THE MONEY GOES.
The report of the department of
public works has been' issued, '1'he
amount expended on public build-
ings in the lower provinces in over
875,000 , Quebec, over $200,000 :
Ontario, o'er $600,000, including
the expenditure on public buildings
at Ottawa. The revenue from the
government teleg'nph, exclusive of
lines in the Northwest, was $7,647,
against an expenditure of $19,763,-
01. The number of official letters
received by the department In year
was 10,493 and letters sent 6,343.
These figures show a .difference over
the previous year, owing to the
adoption of a new system of filing.
Since confederation $161,372,679
have been expendeed on construe•
tions and improvements in Canada.
The total amount expended for the
last year ending J une 30, 1888, was
$3,428,943; amount devoted to
construction being $2,672,298.94
TAX EYEMPTIONS.
It simplifies the matter very much
to remember that the exemption
from taxation of a church site and
building is simply the exemption of
a certain number of individuals, who
own the site and building and con-
tribute to the expense of maintain,
ing the establishment. The exemp-
tion of the churches simply throws
upon other property the burden
they would bear if taxed ; and the
briefest conaiilerati.ou will show that
so long as churches differ as they do
in value this involves grave in-
justice to somebody and notably to
the less costly churches or to the
people who own them. Im exempt-
ing them all the community
gives to one—that is to the people
who own it—frons fifteen to twenty
times what it does to the other.
This certainly is not just or right.
Should the people who prefer an
humble or economical place of wor-
ship be assessed fur any portion of
the expense of maintaining it costly
one ?—.Ex.
Whether Mr. Wiman has done a
service or an injury to Canada by
his telling article in .the Worth Amer-
ican Review may be matter for ones.
tion. The extraordinary picture he
has drawn of the extent of our ter-
ritory, the excellence of its climate
and the richness and vr•riety of its
resources, will be to many Canadians
:almost as much a revelation as to
the people of the United States
themselves. His description prompts
one to parody the words of the old
Roman poet, and cry out, Happy
beyond measure the Canadians, did
they but kuow their own blessings!'
To Canadians, indeed, the article
should bring not only°a;ratification,
but inspiration, ambition and high
resolution. The olrl Saxon and Cel•
tic stock must have degenerated
sadly in theta, if with such a climate
and such a country they can fail to
build up a nation worthy of the
Empire from which it springs, and
fit to stand beside the Great Repub•
lie on its borders. But what will be
the effect npon the people for whore
Mr. Wiman writes and by whom
his article will be chiefly read 1 Is it
really kindness which prompts Mr.
Wiman to (tangle such a prize be•
fore the eyes of hi i avaricious and
agressive fellow countrymen, or has
he some dark and sinister design?—

TfIEOLOGICAL THOUGHT.
I)1RF, DEBQL4TION.
A London clergyman named Bax-
ter, who has become noted for his
interpretation of Scriptural proph
ecy, bas been lecturing en "Revela-
tion." In a recent antwunceruent
of his subject, be says :—" Only
eight more Christmases before Bri-
tain is desolated aid beeomes a red
republic, as one of the ten red re-
publics predicted in Revelation,
xv iii., which are to give their power
.14
and strength to Napoleon, the anti -
Christ, who, as the leader of the
Papists, Mohammedanism, socialists
and communists, is to make war
with Christians and overcome them
during the final forty-twornontlia,--
Rev'., xiii., 5. A preliminary proof
is to be furnished by the greatest
war ever known between 1889 and
1891, changing twer:ty-three king.
doors into the ten mentioned (Dan.,
vii., 21), ohich afterward become
in Revelation, red republics.
AN UNBIASED OPINION.
This is what Mr. Darwin once
said. about some critics of foreign
missions :—"'They forget, or will not
rem-nwber, that human sacrifice and
the power of an idolatrous priest-
hood ; a system of profligacy un.
paralleled in any other part of the
world ; infanticide, a consequence of
that system ;bloody wars, where the
consequence spared neither women
nor cliilidren. .that all- .these things
have been abolished, and that dis.
honesty, intemperance and licen-
tiousness have been greatly reduced
by the introduction of Christianity.
In a voyeger to forget these things 1
a base ingratitude ; for should he
chance to be at the point of ship
wreck on some unknown coast, he
will most devoutly pray that the
lesson of the missionary may have
extended thus far."
POPE HENRY VII1
'rite common idea that henry
VIII. was the founder of'the church
of England is controverted by 11'Ir.
Gladytone in the Nineteenth Century.
He contends that henry merely
transferred the Popedom from Rome
actual and legal Pope; that he wa
to England, and made himself a.4),
satisfied if the Iteformation went fa
enough to forbid England's return
to Route, and stopped without going
far enough to endanger his spiritaul
aliprewacy, and that, so for as the
@church of England was concerned
he really reorganized nothing.
tQueem Elizabeth is credited by bar.
Gladstone with the real work of
putting the. English Church on a
basis sufficiently Protestant to make
it independent of home.

HE'S NOT A TYRANT.—POLISH
PEOPLE AND THEIR PASTOR —HARSH
DISCIPLINE SAID TO BE ENFORCED
BY REV. PYPLATZ—TILE STATEMENTS
DENIED.—lf the Chicago Tintes has
no stronger evidence in support of
its alleged police exposures than it
has for the publication of the states
ntents concerning the situation of
affairs in the Polish church bete,
which appears in this morning's
issue, it certainly deserves no public
recognition. In the appended ex-
tract the Tintes quotes an imaginary,.
or, at least, obscure citizen, relative
to the treatment accorded a young
girl at the hands of Rev. Pyplatz,
the pastor of the Polish Catholic
church, on Commercial avenue and
89th street. The girl was seen by a
Daily Republican reporter this morn•
ing and she denied the statement
that she was subjected to such se•
vere punishment. Over a year ago
the girl in question was taken in
hand for the offence charged, but,
she says, was not treated in the
shameful manner stated. On the
contrary, she was required to kneel
but a half hour, and was not hooted
at in the manner in which the Tintes'
informant tells the story. The girl's
name is Laura Klawitter. She says
she would like to get hold of the
man who lied thus about her. Mrs.
Rose Eligath says she never had
trouble with Dr. Pyplatz concerning
the baptism of her child, and -several
other prominent Polish r.'sidlents
spoken to declare that there is no
trouble between the pastor and his
flak.
South Chicago Daily (,`ctlunlet,
Monday evening, Jail. 14, 1S39,
,says :
A DESERVED CORRECTION.—AN
INTERVIEW PUIILiSHED IN THE CHI-
CAGO "TIMES" EMPHATICALLY I)e-
NIED.—Om Wednesday, Jan. 9, the
(,'aIlrntet gave space to an article re-
garding the pastor of the Polish
Catholic, or Church of the Immacu-
late Conception, which wits credited
to the Chicago Times. On the day
that the at title was ' published a

quently the objectionable portion of
the article was cut out. But it has
aroused conaiderable indignation
among the Poles, who lay the entire
blame at the door of Frank Waulk-
iewicz, who denies in toto the state-
ments made by the Tines, and also
states that he never held any con.
versation with the representative of
that or any other paper. Present
indications go to show that the arti-
cle emanated from the fertile brain
of the imaginative newspaper man
connected) with the Chicago journal:
GRIT PURITY IN HALTON.
The Court sat at 10I ilton last week
to investigate the charge of corrupt
practices against Mr. Waldie, the
sitting Grit member, or his agents.
'Glee case was closed on the part of
the petitioners except tl.at of brib.
ing Ed. Edge by giving money to
his wife in 'Toronto. Both Edge awl
his wife had been duly subpoenaed
in Toronto, but did not attend. Jos.
Moat and Wallace Dent (supposed
to be the mysterious 'stranger') were
alto missing and could not be sr;rv•
etl On this account further hear-
ing of the carte was pos.poned until
3rd July next. 'lite following are a
fete extracts from the evidence
given :
James Curry—Ani a brother of
Cl rr3'" Ciirr"y;" I 'gave ve ititii $2 -It To'`
ronto two days before the election,
and promised him $3 to vote for
Waldie, I was employed by the Res
form party to post bills throughout
the county and deliver handbills,-
and
andbills;and was paid by W. II. Lindsay
(Mr. Waldie's agent) $9 for doing
this ; when in 'Toronto I saw three
other voters, but, though I talked
to them about the election, did not
give them anything; I know Robert
Armstrong ; I bad a• spite against
him, and intended to take hint to
Streetsville so that Ire would not be
able to vote ; Win. Caldwell is an
active Refortner,"ild often talked to
me about the election and posting
bills ; they hired horses for me; I
diel all I could to help Waldie ; 1
told Grant, who had charge of Wal -
die's committee rooms in Milton,
what I had promised to my brother;
he told rale not to pay it; I believe
Chris. voted for Henderson.
Christopher Curry was called and
admitted receiving $2 from James
:Curry and a promise of $3 more.
Jahn Cunningham, sworn --I live
in Trafalgar ; know Dr. Buck ; saw
him at my place during the contest;
a 'man' came to my place the night
before the• election when 1 was in
bed; he woke int up and handed Me
$5 ; I don't kuow who he was ; had
always voted Conservative before,
but didn't vote this time.
Wm. H. Spiers—Live in Oakville;
ant an active Liberal and chairman
-of the local committee; I know \Vm.
IL. Smith ; met him after he had
voted ; didn't send for him or give
or promise him anything.
\Vni. 1i. Smith—Am a Reformer
and live just outside Hamilton ;
voted in Halton at the last election;
nobody saw or wrote to me about
voting ; saw Mr. Waldie on a train
one day and told him 1 would be
on hand ; have never been promised
or given anything for my vote or
travelling expenses; I have never
received money from anyone for
my vote ; Wm. H. Spiers did not
promise me anything ; I saw hint
and spoke to him on polling.day ; I
would consider it an insult to my
manliness to lye offered anything or
to ask for it, and have never done
so, and would spurn such a thing.
(The witness here grew virtuously
indignant at the imputations at-
tempted to be cast upon him 'ply
Darned counsel.)
FUN OVER A LETTER.
The 1 ter produced is mice, that
is niy•iphlmitre ; the envelope is
addressed by the to Wm. H. Spiers.
The letter, amid great amusement,
was then read, much to the cons
fusion of the witness, and was a
request by him to send some $l 1 for
hie expenses, which had been proms
iced him and on account of which
he bad voted. It also asked that
the money should be sent to Mrs.
Smith, who would not know what
it was for, and in the event of a
protest nothing could be glade out
of it.
OTHER CHARGES.
Charge 48 was then gone into,
and Richard Mickley was called
and stated that a "stranger," who
Wets introduced to hitn by an ardent
Grit named Lamont, had offered
hint money for his vote, and gave
hint $2 to vote for Waldie.
Wm. Wallace testified that. the
."stranger" hail called on hire in
Ste carton and offered him money,
which he refused, the night before
the election, but did not know who
IS he was;
Suea
mMorrow, on being called,
admitted seeing the "stranger," but
didn't get anything front hint.

THE RELIGION OF MINCE
PIES.
That was a quaint touch of his-
tory which Dr. Griffiths gave bis
hearers at church about the mince
pie, says the Boston Advertiser. His
was a Christian sermon, with all the
rest, and in the course of is he said:
"The mince pie, whatever it may be
to weak digestions, is also a harm-
less relic of the old mediteval cus-
tom of teaching truths by visible
emblems, even as the paesover was
shadowed forth by the roast lamb,
bitter herbs, unleavened cake, water
and wine. This composite pie is a
picture and symbol of the manger
of Bethlehem. In its original oblong
shape it typified the place of the
cattle, and by its meats, spices and
fruits in their order, what was pre
seat at the birth of Jesus—the flesh
of oxen and of the shepherd's flocks,
the Oriental frankincense and myrrh
of the Magi and the food out of the
earth for man and best. To eat
mince pie was once a test of Ortho.
doxy, that is Roman Catholic ortho-
doxy. For this reason this particu-
lar delicacy was tabooed by the ultra
Protestants. Now, however we
have won this historical symbolic
pastry from all suggeetiorta of Re.
roan ecclesiastical dominion, and
can eat it without asking anynques•
Hone, except for digestion's sake, as
innocently as we butter hot cross
buns.'
