A dismal note comes from Manitoba led assets, and such a poor outlook | that the treasurer talks of retrench- {ment. But only in ¢ome things. Grants to various purposes will be re- duced, and the aid to odueation will not be so gencrous. Of all the ob- jects that need encouragement. educa- tion - should "stand st the head, and the fact that it is to suffer is indeed regrettable. While there is a plea for cconomy in other directions, the members of the government and members of the house will vote themselves larger salaries land indemnities, the one set from $3,000 10 $5,000 a year, and the oth- er. set from $500 to $1,000 per an: num. A grab or a graft under the circumstances certainly does not look well. k ee The province claims a sirplus---in ten years' operations of about $2,000,000, but there is really only $864,000 band, and it is part of the sinking fund which will pe wanted to meet the bonds coming due in 1910 and amounting $1,043,000. The gov- { ernment, too, practices what "the con- on to servatives of Ontario condemned as a { wrong. .Jt puts the revenue from the | sale of land, representing capital, into | consolidated account, and uses it for general expenses; at the same time all [items of capital accolnt are Subtract- [a and this should not be unless the from the account. The marvel is that the decrease of assets is not laid to the financial con- tingency of last year, or the "rich man's panic,' as the treasurer des- eribed it. But it is candidly admit- ted that the financial results are 'not due to the hard times," and it is a statement which will be regarded as significent under the circamstances. KINGSTON'S RELIGIOUS CENSUS, The census which is tao, be takes on the 18th, will not be a religious one only. It will embrace a complete je- gistration of every individual who is a resident of the city, and will be, in all probability, according. to uresent prospects, the most complete thing of its kind. The plans for it are certainly Leing carefully and systematically laid. The procedure is somewhat different. from that going in advanee of a national census, and for the reason that the federal methods "of secur'ng certain specified information is attended bv long and persistent preparation." For a house to hoyse visitation--which is the better name for the work in hand --~there is no organization of a perm- anent character. Nor is tiure any fixed routine, Every city or town works out ils own programme from the limits or suggestions which follow ex- periences elsewhere, What suits in one place may not suit in another. How- ever, Kingston has ite own devices, land in some respects they are unique. They work of preparation is about complete, The wards have been divid- ed into districts and divisions; the Supervisors and canvassers have been appointed; the educational mectings have been held in the wards; the work- ers have been notified of their assign- ment to certain districts and divi and nothing remains but the Tuesday, Febroary or regular sions; registration 18th, What to be gained from it? Much, very much. There is to be prac- tically a stock-taking of the city, and later the churches will be called upon to visit those who have expressed pre- ferences for them. In a sense each church will come to its own, by the i ry work or discovery in which on is ComwaICwr all churches have participated. In a sense the cards which tell of persons 'hitherto unknown will convey to the pastors information they will be glad to receive and addresses of followers whose acquaintance they did not have before, THE STORY OF A LIFE.

Green's moving pictures were the attraction at the Grand Opéra house last evening. There was a large and {appreciative "audience present, . who were more than delighted with the en- tertainment. The pictures "exhibited portrayed scenes of beauty. 'They are {of a variety to suit all tastes, deai- one from pathos to laughter, from the imaginative to the instructive and from the commonplace to the sensa- tional. Professor Green gives a run- ning comment on each scene as it is presented, which is very instructive and interesting. 'The light is clear, brilliant, and flickerless and does not tire the eyes. The principal scenes shown on the canvas were The Baby's Peril, a touching scene in 'the life uf a young mother; Storms Winds Do Blow, or What Became of a Gentleman's Dignity; a magnificent description of Bostwick's wonderful menagerie in England, a view of the animals in the menagerie and young Bostwick in the lion's cage; a French magic "scene, the red spectre or the black art of the under world, a very realistic picture of Hades and its denizens, and showing how a woman beat the devil; Looking at a Balloon; The Burning of Warsaw and the work of the anarchists in Russia: Angling in Norway, closing with a de scription of Daniel Boone, hunter and trapper, or the suffering and dangers of the white settlers in the pioneer days in America.
