The avérage member of parliament is not so great a reader as he is a talker. When the question of canals was under consideration, or rather the question of how much money should ne spent upon them this season, some tiscussion occurred as to Sunday traffic. Ordinarily the canals. are clos- ed on Sundays. In emerffencies appeal may be made to the railway and can al department, however, and the can- als are opened to relieve any conges- tion in traffic that may take place. This was the case when the Cornwall break happened last year, and it is the move in case when the grain is on the the fall. Because the canal could be opened occasionally on Sun- day led to the suggestion of some members that it should be open every Sunday during navigation. It was a surprise to some that the fall trade was amply provided for, and this goes to show that there are a good many things the politicians do not read be- side the Bible. s------------ Auditor Clancy needs to have some- thing done to him to bring him to He is acting in an absurd and arbitrary manner. his senses.

The Weekly Sun figures out a' de- ficit in provincial finances for the last year of $82,138.51. It does not think the alleged surplus of $45,000 can be justified, In order to report it the $107,000 spent on good roads and the $40,000 on drainage, were charged to capital account. Col. Matheson, in the opinion of our.contemporary, "might with equal justice have charged the sum of $459,804 expended on coloniz- ation roads in New Ontario, in the same way, to the same account, and so claimed a surplus of half a mil- lion." The Sun does not want to give alarm, but it is bound to report that the financial circumstances of Ontario "aemand earnest attention." The as sets and direct liabilities of the pro- vince. ate about $17,000,000 each, and balance, but the indirect liability is $8,560,000, and "'while the liabilitias show a steady disposition to increase, and must continually be met in full, assets sometimes shrink in process of realization." The local government cannot afiora to be reckless in its financing. It has had what a conservative paper called "a narrow squeak'. on last year's re- cora, and Col. Matheson certainly had to resort to some doubtful work in order to make a proper halance. The treasurer cannot deceive the people by his manipulation. Figures will misrepresent the situation.

The gross sum asked, from the city-- and to be met by taxation--is $41 ,- 107, against $41,055 last year. There is a difference of about $50, which is a mere bagatelle.

Education is a costly item, but theré is nothing which so vitally affects 'the people and to which they give so readily their support. The ac- counts of the board, too, admit of very little variation. The management of the hoard appears to he both eco- nomical and careful.

Baltimore, March 12.--Since the re- moval of Rev. Casper P. Elbert from the pastorate of St. Katharine's Ca- tholic church, announced by Cardinal Gibbons, last week, there have been many rumors as to the reason. In vestigation into thé causes for the de- position of the priest develops that he 'owes about $130,000, exclusive of a church debt of $28,000. An' official statement by the cardinal, made throngh his attorney, says that very little of this money, so far as has been ascertained, was 'used for church purposes. Some of it went to pay premiums on life and aceident insur: ance, of which he had policies amount- ing to nearly « $70,000. The balance went into visionary financial schemes, Ly which he expected to: realize large profits. There is no indication, the statement adds, that the money was spent for any improper purpose other than as stated. Persons who have ex- amined 'Father Elbert's affairs, believe he is mentally unbalanced. He is now Used and bans, though he may not be" legally liable for Father Elbert's debts, has assumed the burden of paying them. DIRECT NEGOTIATIONS. This is What Austria Requires From Servia.
