THE COLD WAVE. -..- We commenced the year With a credit cash balance amounting to $605,849. Our total reserve for the year was i$3.647.353. We expended altogether iduring the yea: 83,808.081, so that we 'drew on our cash balance during the year tothe extent of $155,723, Ines. timating for the year we kept in mind, (, of course, the pleasing fact that we had [ this cash balance exceeding 8600,000 on (which in case of emegency. we might , draw. It mustbe very gratifyingto the Emmont minutes ctowded oat this week. Will appear next way. _ New Legislation is promised to pro- vide increased revenue to take the place of the reduction from crown lands, which is to be “fair and equitable." The expenditure is largely for Edu- cation, which no one asks to have weak. ened for agricultural advancement, for Public Institutions, which are much more economically managed that al- most anywhere else, 87,500 were grant- ed to sufferers by the in various locali- ties, .nd the cost ot legislation and some minor items make up the bill. We append n. paragraph from the Prov. Ttensurer's summing up '. However regrettable this may appear to our Conservative friends, it is but an incident in business, and when It is renm-mhcred that, during the year two extra expenditures, one ot 87fi,000 for revision of the statutes, (done only once in 10 years) and 880,000 for general electionstouce in fnnr years) came to- gethev, it will be seen that the slim-Luge is more than wiped out and eoniirtns one in the conviction that the Pruvinrv is in good hands. l While the receipljof the your exceed. icd the estimate the fell below 1897 by 8492,Wi,butin one department, alone. ’(h‘own Lands, the falling " was 84%.- nos.

This feature of shifting l obligations is attacked by the opposition wand certainly, where possilsl" to meet 1 the vailway aid payments out, of ordin- [ ary revenue is a very desirable course. l This has been done in 5 yrs. since 1881, and the justification of the system is found in the fact that, while since 1884 the sale of Annuities has netted the government over 82,000.000. the aid to railways in the same tintel has been over 3,000,000 and forl much needed public buildings over 8lr,760,000, The railways and the buildings are a benefit to posterity. M well as ourselves and the postponement of these debts fora few years enables the burden to be Cui/tli: distributed. Casual revenimin .mmounted to Lifts insurance is a. good thing but $116111). From succession dunes there was re- ceived 8206.011), Liquor Licenses produced *276,000, a. decrease cf 813,000, which is explained by the fact that fewer licenses are now being issued, about 100 less in 1898 than in 1897. The Crown Lands gave a. revenue of ! $1,112,582, $102,000 beyond the estimate. _ The Dominion subsidy, over a million dollars is the same of course, Interest dining 185.8 amounted to owr 3304.000, neatly $60,000 more than last year. The great bulk of this if from monies held in trust by the Dominion for Ontario. The receipts ot the year exceeded the estimates by 8tB8,000, and this is a. con- stantly recurring experience. and a. gratifying one, DURHAM, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 16. 1899.

The High Church ', party have without doubt been de. parting from the lines laid down by F the national establishment to such an lextcnt as to cause a distinct cleavage , ' in the church. This cleavage is bound l to appear in parliament, as long as i the church is state supported, and the gravity of the situation lies in this fact. It is felt by many that the present agitation is the beginning of the end, tlze end being the complete separation ot'ehurch and state. it is bound to [come betorc long. With a great body (of nonconformists in both England and l Scotland. giving evidence of progress and spiritual life without the buttress‘ of State support, it is impossible butI that the spilit ot British fair play should assert itself, and put upon an equality all forms of religious belief or practice. The church of England is a' venerableinstitution. Giving it con-l tinuity beyond the Reformation, it is older than even the Monarchy of England itself. More than once or‘ twice in the "island story" it has stood for freedom against the tvranny ot rulers. and its ministrations have in past times been often national bene. factors. Notsoelways, however, and notso now, exclusively. The time is ripe fora change, and the twentieth century will not be very old before all religiousbodies in the British empire will stand tree from the state, and will not be less so but rather more so, workers for Him who said ' 'My King- dom is not of this world. " The Government is torn between love and duty. It does not want. to turn down the tobacco growers of Essex county, who last year produced 88,000- 000 pounds of tobacco, nor does it want to lose the ten-cent duty on unmann- factured leaf imported, or the 25-eent duty per pound additional on the manufactured article. Yet one the. other it must. do. The \Vestern grow- ers have asked for a. til-cent: per pound duty on foreign, and the Government fears to grant it, thinking it will in- crease smuggling and knowing it will seriously cmbnrms the manufacturers. _Ex. - Dated at Mount F orest, the mu day of February A.
