TORONTO â€"The Budget was adopted on Friâ€" day last without a divisioh. Will some one tell when this happened beâ€" fore? Or what has been the average time that elapsed In new Parliaments before a vote was triken? No test vyote at Otta wa yet. EDITORIAL NOTE AND COMMENT. â€"Britain‘s budgets are interesting affairs. ~A surplus of $13,365,000 over expenditure for the year is good. In addition the national debt has been réâ€" duced about $38,000,000, And the total value of British trade showed an inâ€" crease of 5 per cent. All this in a free trade country. A strange thing is this Tarkish honâ€" or â€" On the investment of Larissa banks and valuable besiness houses were sealed up and guards placed over them so that no injury might be done to priyvate Grecian interests! Is Enâ€" rope blinda? How long since Turkish soldiers were rewarded and promoted because they had been successful in shedding the blood of innocent men women and children? How "good " she is under the eyes of the powers. But wait. â€"**Never swap horses when crossâ€" ing a stream." The Greeks don‘t beâ€" lieve this and have changed their ministry in the midst of their troubles. The new premier, M Ralli, is a most refreshing egotist. _ Another name was mentioned for premier but Ralli opposed it cluiming the course of events pointed to him as the right man for the position ; and he got it to. This reminds us of Wim. Pis, who when Britain was in deep trouble said "I know that I can save this country and that no oue else can." HMis suceess warranted the statement. Ralli is a greater than Pitt if he can now rally Grecece to her feet again. â€"Rev. John Watson, (Ian Maclearn) has won a notable vietory. The Pres byterian Synod of London rejected the petition containing charges~â€"of hersey by 12 to 1. The petitioners explained that they were afraid of the church falling into Unitarianism and would like Dr. Watson‘s assurance that the statements madâ€" against the soundness of his doctrines were false. _ The Synod, bhowever, would not call Dr. Watson, and the effort to prove heresy las iznominiously failed. Surely there is a lesson here for the Watchmen of Zion to be very careful of their ground betore bringing charges, as every such "ailure has an injurious reaction. (Geose se & Hides. â€" ...

This may not satisfy Kruger, and it will not stop the war preparations now goiu g on in the Transvaal, but it will make men of British blood feel conâ€" science clear, if national action has to taken at the Cape to resist an aggres sion almost certainly encouraged by Germany. _A regiment of Bntish inâ€" fantry and a brigade of British artuilâ€" lery have been sent to South Africa as a permanent increase to the Cape garrison, and this action caused a vio lent attack by Sir Wim. Hareourt on Seerctary Chamberlain in parliament last week. _ Mr. Chamberlain hotly repelled the attack and showed that while he was asking for £200,C00 the Transvaal was asking for a million and ‘*were arming to an extent absolutely unjustifiable by an ordinary policy of detense."
