The profits of the Bank forthe past year amount to $218,871, and after pro~ viding for losees and doubtful debts, the Bank pays $120,000 in dividends (8 per cent.) and carries $100,000 to the reat fund, which now amountsto $1,600,008, or $100,000 more than the capital.

The heavy amount of the Bank’s de posits indicates tbat itis etrong in the, confidence of the public, and its large, reserve would seem to warrant much cou- fideuce.

During 1897, the management passed into the hands of Mr. H. C. McLeod,a native of P. E, Island, snd we have no doubt that under his guidance this cld and substantial instituton wiil fully main- tain its bigh standing among the banks in Canada.

o BUNGLING IN THE WEST.

Tue Government's own partisans being the witnesses,the government bungled bad~

ly when making regulations concernihg the administration of the Yukou country. We juote two of these witnesses,

The Timer, of Victoria, fan advanced Liberal paper owned by Senator Te nple- man, refers to the despatch of United States military force to the Klondide and Bays:

an

“Ivia also a downrightinsult to Canada; a grosa and unwarrantable insult, which only a government devoid of diplomatic knowledge and utterly reckless could dream __ of

of consequences 2 perpetrating. That maniac expedition should be stopped at the fron-

tier, the military escort disarmed and the alleged . relief supplies charged duty to the fulllimitof the tariff. That might serve to tesch . the Americaa government that its insoleoce is not appreciated north ofthe line. We refase to believe that there can be any collusion between the Canadian and American governments in a matter that reflects aiecredit on the or- iginators, and is inthe nature of a joke being carried too far.”

Azain, the Edmonton Bulletin, the editor of which i# Mr. Frederick Oliver, a Liberai member of Parliament savs:

“The news that the mounted police force in the Yukon is to be increased from 90 to 250 men seems to indicate that the Canadian Government irtends te depend upon force rather than justice in that region. If the history of the mining regions of Britian Columbia is to be considered as any guide in the matter, a very small namber of police ie sufficient for the eup- port of law and order in the Yukon, pro- vided the laws are based upon principles of justice. Ifthe laws are not based upon justice, then a military force ia needed, aod that iswhatthe Canadian Govern- ment apparent’y intendsto supply. Let the taxpaversof Canada understand the position e*qaarely. The nnreasonable mature of the minirg regulations are the on'y {cause for such alarge force of police in the Yukon. The cost of support of thia number of men will be esormous. For the first year or two not lesa than $2,000 per man, or a round ha'f million dollars per year. Tuis will absorb ten per cent, royalty ona yearly outpnt «f $50,000,000. Without the etfort to get the royalty the police would not be necessary ia gach npuubers. When the conditions ot the country are taken into consideration, even if the yearly output should reach fittw million, there is not the remotest pro- hability of the fall amount of the royalty being collected by 350 mer; even if the attermpt does not render Urcessarv the em- p oyment of many more men and the expen- diture of many more tatilions of dollars. This expenditure is render. d necessary not by the cooditivos of the conatry, but by the

yo icy of the goveroment.

Is thus appears, upeo the authority of good Liberais, that the Government have biundered iu permitting a United State, military force to go into tbe Canadian rold territory, and in alding a sufficient »yumber of po izemen to match the alien

force, and in framing unjust regulations difficult of enforcemeat to give colour to the necessity foran enlarged police force. Asa result of all those blunders, the Klondyke mines which ought to be a source of wealth to the country will pro» bably cost the country more than the country will get out of them.

SEWERAGE,

A Pewerful Sermon by the Rev. T, F.

Fullerton.

In St. James’ Church, yesterday morn- ing, Rev. Mr. Fullerton, taking as bis text “ Bis blood will T require at the wateh- man’s bh end,” made an earnest plea for the introduction Of & sewerage system. He pointed out that “podern medical science clearly demonstrated the origin of many of our most fatal disgases and the conditions uoder which the bacilli multiplied and became virulent): God’s lawe, a portion of which we call the laws of nature, are never violated with impunity, and wheo these diseares fasten upon our communi- ties and carry sorrow and bereavement into our homes they are really the watch men upon the watch tower calling our attention, in terms that cannot be mistaken, to our violatiog of these laws. There was a kind of theology, which he was happy to aay wae dving out, which comforted elf with the thought that whea any one died it was becauee fis time was come. It was notso. Our bodies had been made to last well nigh a century in the exercise of their powere; 2nd when valued lives were prematurely cut sbort through our wilful neglect of sanitary precautions, or to our refusal, throvgli selfish considerations, to do away with the festering hotbeds in which the germs of disease flourished and multiplied, we bad no right to lay the blame at the door of the Almighty. It was our fault and wé alone were responsible. To allow these diseases to flourish avd then to liftup prayers toGod that He would epare the lives Of our loved ones waa a solemn taockery and absolutely without avail. After briefly referring to the effect produced in Britain by the improved sanitary conditions of today, Mr. Fullertun stated, on the authority of Others, that the death rate in this city had decreared since the introduction of the present admirable water svstem, But why should we stop half way? Why allow the present state of things to go on until our soil becomes eaturated with disease-prod ucing conditions and we dis- cover when tog Jate the fatal consequences of our neglect? “Owing to the failure of our authovigies to provide for the keepio of proper statistice, we were ip a WOrse Condition as regards data upon whigh togothan any equally civilized spot On the earth’s surface, but there can be no doubt that, with : he adop- tion of a proper s¥stem of disposing of our sewage, the death rate would be still further lowered, and good bealth, morality and religion wouid be fostered. In work- ing for theseends, we were carrying out

ihe purpose of our Divine Master, who is |

the Saviour, not only of the souls, but of the Lodies,of men. Inclosiog he urged bis hearers not to allow the present xgita- tion for improved sanitary conditions to die out; but to Jabor by all means in their power io remove the blot which at present stains the fair fame of our beautifui city.
