Grafting Not Popular. The governors of states have powers and privileges which are not possessed by Canadian provincial officers. The governor of New York, for instance, has called attention to certain extra vagences in the departmental service and practically orders that they be discontinued. 3 These expenses are found in the public acrounts in connection with the departments of public service. Strange to say they took shape and grew to their present proportions while Mr, Higgins occupied a seat in the assem- bly, on the' republican side, and acted as chairman of finance. Judges, state officers, afd commis- soners, it . seen, have to go irom hoine in the performance of public ser- vice, and they have incidentals which cannot be tabulated without some difficulty, At the same time it was considered infra dig to ask or expect some men to go into minor details. So it became customary to bill the government for bulk sums on account of expenses. These allowances ran from year to til hast year they totalled $164,450, 1i details were demanded, and actual ex- penses were charged, but a small per- centage of the whole sum could be ac- counted for. ' What is making the dilierence now ? There is a fear of scandal.

The results are apparent in the puly- lished reports. The gross revenue has shown a steady advance, and last year's i4-an increase of more than a million dollars or 6.4 per cent. on the year 1901-2, The revenue per train mile is higher than it has been since 1887. The net revenue is nearly $800,000 in excess of the first year of the Tait ad- ministration, and more than a million and a half dollars above that of any year prior to Mr, Tait's taking office. The working expanses are 52.23 of the gross revente, which is the low- est since 1879. Last year there 'was a decrease of nearly $1,000,000 in exXpens- os as compared with 1901-2.

It is expected that at least 200 missionaries will be present from nearly forty of the mis- sion fields of the world.
