Expenditures on necessary public works, los:oi' revenue from re ducvions in the burdens cast directly on the, people: as in the cast; ofthe re [titil/te/ii' t'ato, and other outlays are t . ..ey not hitherto recurred. beingr met by the careiul and economical management oi the funds, and by the complete absence of all ex tiavaganec and boodling. A Clyeat Demonstration. The meeting of Liberals in Montreal on Tuesday evening Was a notable gathering in many ways The en- thusiastic and spontaneous welcome given to Sir Wilfrid Laurier and his) colleagues, the splendid reception; given to the addresses delivered, the universal spirit of buoyancy and con- iidence shown by the vast audiunee,' the complete absence of any discord. antnote in spite ofthe reports oi dis. satisfaction so industriously circulated in somequarters. all Went to indicate how entirely the clients to break down the stalwart Liberalism oi Quebec have failed. The entire absence ot eVen a semblance oi truth in the pet" sistent statements that dissention ex- ists among the personel of the Govern. ment, Could not have been more emphatically demonstrated and the proceedings were a titling sequel to the splendid vindication oi Messrs. l Tarte and Sii'ton, which was so point I edly pronounced t y the Premier, and l subsequently endorsed by vast gather. ings ot representative electors in Tor onto, Brandon, Montreal and many other points, not to speak ot the yet l more signitieentendorsation of the bye- elections. The approximate returns for the first halt of the current meal year ending Dee. Bist, show that the country is better off, as between revenue and expenditure, than last year, good as that Was, by $2,855,000. - -i'_.-_M'.__ «an vvvu wwphld, 238 This is the firtst time in the his. tory of the Dominion that the revenue has exceeded $40,000,000 and this growth has been obtained entirely through the expansion of trade, and in spite of considerable reduction in tax- anion. I The statement made by the Minister of Finance at Montreal, that the sur- plus for the tirtst year during which the Liberal Government has had full control of the finaneee, amounts to $1,722,712 is a gratifying indication that however anxious and ready the Government istoembark in any ex- penditure necessary to the develop. mentosthe country's resources, it is determined to keep well within the, ability of the country to pay thereior. I The expenditure chargeable to con-| sohdated accounts has been $38,832,525 ‘r xlglle therevenuerhus been $40,555.l icu gummy; your; The Premier’s pr posed for the reform of the Senate, by bringing the two Houses ol Parliament together and taking a joint vote Upon any question which has been approved by the Commons and thrown out by the Upper House, is exciting very con- sulerable attention, wlizle very much can be said in favor oi'entire abolition, it is recognized that grave constitution- al dittiealties would have to be met, and that the easier way ol'overeotuing the trouble, by curtailing the ability to abuse its power would be prefer- able, it' such can be found. I'he, mis- ehiel was done at Uonlederation. when the Senate was called into exlstauee, more than one Liberal statesman fore- saw the danger and uttered a warn- ing, which unfortunately was not heeded, it is so much easier to make a mistake than to rectify it, and while almost insuperable dittiealties may stand in the way of abolition, it may not prove impossible to so amend the Constitution as to remove the more anomalous features governing the Senate, and thus render it what every part ot the gown-hing machinery of the country should be, a strength and not a Weakness. ---Thc finally tinal returns of the Plebiscite cameout last week in the Canada Gazette. 278487 voted for prohibition, 266571 voted against. a majority for of13916. The total vote pulled is a little over 44 per cent of the enrolled vote, the figures being 543058 out of 1,233,819. Thus, about 23 per cent at the electors voted "yes" which to us seems small inundation to intro- duce a great moral change, however much We might desire it. a..----------" --Bishoo Sullivan, Rector of St. James' Cathredal, Toronto, died last week. The regret at his death is very marked and sincare by all classes of the cummunity. He. did a great work in Alguma .0 which he clung with a dewtiun which refused the Bishoprip of Huron in 1884. when he simply said "My duty to Algomn compels me to decline." He was ot the "evangelical school. eloquent and magnetic, and his place will not be easily tilled. -- “The Frmch "re To Britain rt course. common remark in Since the complete Thursday, January I2, 1899 TMT: ms: OUR OTTAWA LETTER.
