HE BUDGET SPEECH. |

Sim Lronarp Titty was able to meet Parliament this year with a statement which shows that Canada is neither ruined por on the road to ruin, In fact the ex- hibit of the year is, all things considerea, rather satisfactory than otherwise. Last year there was left as a legacy to the new Administration a nominal deficit of $2,000, - 000. Really tho deficit was, according to Sir Leonard, no less than $3,400,000, This enormous sum had to be met by an in- crease of duties. No Government could peasibly have avoided putting on more taxes. When Sir Leonard said that the increased duty does not amount, on the average,to inore than four per cent., he was fully aware that the statement would be subject to the criticism of the keenest fnan- ciers in Canada; and we, therefore, assume that it is correct. When he said he felt assured the: the accounts of next year would balance with, perhaps, a small sur- plus, he, doubtless, made the statement after a careful consideration of our circum-

stances and prospects. The statements are the more satisfactory in view of the fact that the late Gevernment, of which Sir Richard Cartwright was Finance Minister, raised the rate of duty about 2} per cent. on the average, with the result of an actual falling offin the revenue. One very grati- fying resul’ is made evident by Sir Leonard, The balance of trade is not so largely against us as it has been. In a rich trading and manufacturing country, the balance of; trade is not, perhaps, 2 matter of import- ance ; but in a new and comparatively poor country like Canada, the exports of which is nearly ail in raw material, it is of great importance that we should not buy and import goods to a greater amount than we sell and export our own productions.

A CORRESPONDENT objects to the view ex- pressed in our local of yesterdsy, viz., that Lieut. Dixon’s ground on the latitude of ritual was almost impregnable. He says the law was expressed and quoted ina logical manner by both Messrs. Davies and Williams, to the complete collapse of Lieut. Dixon’s arguments ; while Messrs. Morson, Peters, Palmer, Wilsen and Haszaid gave such an attack on the position eccupied by Lieut. Dixen, that the general opinion was that the Lieut. ignominiously evacuated it, and to the unanswerable arguments of the other side, responded with nothing but vilification. We thought it fair to notice this much, but must say that as there are two sides to all these questions, the discus. sion had better be kept to the schoolroom.

An Atarmina JupGMENT.—Judge: Savary has just given in a license case in Digby, N. S., a startling decision. He has decided thai certain Mayistrates court judgments are in valid on the ground that the Magistrates were not lawfully commissioned. His main con tention is that Lieutenant Governors, no! being representatives of the Queen direct and not having been invested by Provincial law with the right to appvint Magistrates their magisterial appointments are invulid, and, that in consequence, the acts of thei- magisterial appointees are also invalid. 1 this decision is sound, it follows, that as no enabling act of the kind requisite has been passed since the union by the Nova Scotia Legislature, no man in that Province has been validly appointed to its magistracy since the Union went into operation. Of course, jf this is so in Nova Scotia, it is equally so in all the Dominion Provinces, whose Legislatures have not invested their Governors with tha right to appoint magistrates. If this decision should be sustained on appeal to the Domir - ion Supreme Court, matters would be in a bad mess throughout the Dominion.

Revivat aT Nortu River.—The Rev. M-. Burgess, with the co-operation of Bro. W’, ilmore, of Charlottetown, have been holding special services at North River for the pat three weeks, and their labors have been si,s- nally blest by the conversion of many precions souls. Mr. Burgess has been faithfully labouring in that vicinity for several years, ind eft times, no doubt, has his heart beun sii and hia spirit cast down when ‘‘sensa- tions,” widely differing from the present one, were rife in the place. But he struggled ca, ‘* hoping against hope” and trusting in that (tod who ia able to hurl back thes # ong ber- riers of satan, who can subdue the most cb- stinate heart, and who is ever waiting in love wnd mercy to rescue poor sinners from the ‘“‘horribie pit’ and the ‘‘miry clay,” and establish their feet upon the rock, and Lis soul rejoices to-day in thé discomfiture of the evilone, and in having those who were mee led captive by his will, now mingliag their voices in prayer and praise to Him who hath redeemed and saved them by His orn
