upon ia execution of justice is a fact which is dem- oustrated by the present reign of terror ip New Orleans, and the present strained 1e- lations between the United States and Italy; and the execution of justice depends, to a great extent, upon the character of the Judges. It has ever been the aim of the Government of Sir Maclonald to keep high the standard of the Judiciary of Canada. Here, as in Great Britain, those who take the ctlice cfa Judge it exists in this country takes in his hands a splendid gem, ‘* goud and glorious, perfect ond pure.” We feel sure that the briliancy of the gem will not be tarnished by tle M: ster of the Rolis.

The appointment was promptly mace, Judge Peters’ resiguation treached Ottawa on Friday. The next day (Saturday) Mr, Hodgson was appoioted. This promptnees sprung from the desire of the Government thet the legal+business of the country shou'd not be interrupted by delay, and also that there should be no room for duubt concern- ing the person upon whom this high honor and distinction was to be conferred.

The Financial Record.

Werner the Government resign at once or ** go to the country,”’ the financial question remains to be solved.

To this end the first step is to examine the records of the two parties.

First, as tu expenditures ;

The expenditures of the Opposition party

were, a. . «.8331,632.13 oe . 334,132.29 ah

Average per year, $552,882.7

Average per year, $276,559.97, or less than the average exponditure ef their op- ponents by $56,351.74 per year ; * saving in the twelve years that are past of $676,980.88. Add to this amount the $30,000 per year which have been paid for education over and above the average cost of education in 1877-78—an expenditure which could not be avoided—and we see a total saving to tha taxpayers of the Province a3 a result of the reduction of expenditures by the Liberal-Conservative Government in the past twelve years of $1,035,930.83 !

We challenge The Patriot to prove that these figures and this result are not correct.

Lot us now tura to the receipts. These were in—

In these years, refunds to the amount of $100,217.92 were ubtained from the Domi- nion Government, in spite of strong efforts to the contrary, put forth by the Local Opposition. Besides this, there is the amount of $20,000 a year obtained by the efforts of Messrs. Sullivan and Ferguson. This latter annual grant is equal to a capital sum of $500,000. It may reason- ably be assumed that these amounts would never have been received if the Oppo- sition had remained in power; for the Opposition, while’ in power, never made any attempt to obtain them, and while in

Phat is to say, the Province 13 W& clay

: ( wwoaei ¢ better off, as a result of the accession of the

Liberal-Conservaticve Party by upwards of £1. 600,000.

The Province may be ‘tina bad way” now: but it would be that much off if the Grits had remained in office.

Admitting that $200,000 have been with- drawn from capital on account of public buildings erected and enlarged, and adunit- ting that, as the Patriot aftiems, that there is now a balance against the Province of $100,000-—we should have been $1,600,000 worse off if the Government had not been economical fand collected the debrs due the Pr vince,

m which the future

This is the point up hecusaion of our finances is to be begun. Let this point be kept ia view. 166e --

Notes and Comments.

In the States, the new imm/ gration law that went into effect April Ist, provides that all immigrants who become public charges within one year after landing shall be returned to their own country by the steamship companies which brought them iver.

—Mr. Goldwin Smith repeats the state- ment that the Liberals have carried a maj- vrity of the people of Ontario and Quebec. Phis says the Montreal Gazette is simply a falsification of the record. The Conserva- tives have a majority of the memberselected in Ontario, as well as a majority of the popular voto. In the Province of Quebee, the Liberals and Nationalists have a major- ityot the representatives, but, like the majority by which Mr. Mowatt rules in Vatario, it represents a minority of the people. Taking the acclamations as_indi- cating that two-thirds of the voters were in favor of the candidate elected, and using unofficial figures, the vote in this province shows Conservative majorities of 14,792 and Liberai majorities of 10,969. These figures are subject to correction, of course, but cannot be corrected to give the Liber- als atajority. ‘Taking the Dominion over the popular vote will show fully 30,000 majority forthe Government: the elee- tions of 1887 did not show much over

15,000.

—In view of the fact that the Recipro- city Commissioners are to meet at Wash- ington on the 12th October, The Empire says: ** Thus dissolves the whole structure of Opposition invention ; the foolish false- hoods ; the inventions of difficulties that never arose; the talk of discsurteous treatment ; the charge that there would be no negotiations ; the pretenee that when the delegates left Washington, to return at the call of the President, they would never be summoned back--the whole bundle of untruths goes down at cne stroke, to the intense discomfiture of any faithful Grits who took the least stock in the productions of ever-clever, and therefore clumsy, falsi- fiers.” It is clear from the straightiorward statements of our Ministers that they were not treated with any discourtesy, that the journey to Washington was the result of perfectly natural and easily explained cir- cumstances, and that there is no unwilling- ness on the part of the Washington Admin- istration to discuss in a friendly manner with our Government the relations between the two countriesand the possibilities of adjusting thera by means of a treaty.

Great European Armies. THE FIGHTING STRENGTH OF THE TRIPLE AL-

LIANCE AGAINST FRANCE AND RUSSIA,

France is the only ally that Russia could hope of having, and the two countries, vast as are their military resources, would be greatly overniatched in a conflict with Ger- many, Austria and Italy, or even with Ger- many and Austria alone. The effective war gstrength fof the .Dreibund Powers is rated at a little under 5,000,000 men, di- vided as follows : Germany, 2,300,000 men; Austria, 1,400,000 men; Italy, 1,200,000 men. Against these are to be set 2,000,- 000 men for France, and 2,200,000 men for Ktussia, a total of 4,200,000 for the two powers, opposed toa total of 4,900,000 for the Driebund,

No account of the territorial levies is taken in this estimate, because, except in Germany, the territorial reserves of the different countries are mainly untrained. They represent little more than possibilities of recruiting. Asto Germany, however, her landsturm troops, who could be avail- able in case of invasion, are rarely effactive and as they number about 700,000 men, she could muster a fighting force 3,000,000 strong for the defence of her soil.

It is not believed that either France or Russia could send over 1,000,000 men across their frontiers for the invasion of Germauy. Thus, to say nothing of Austrian aid, the German armies of defence would large'y outuumber the two invading armies. As they would also have the inestimable ad- vantages of operation on interior lines, and of being supported by some of the strong- est systems of fortifications in the world, it seems entirely probabble that the invad- ing forcea would be defeated. Of her own strength, without at all leaning upon her wlies, Germany could successfully make head against the joint attack of Russia and France.

CITIZEN,

Ward Four.

Sin,—The absence of Councillors Crabbe and Beer from the regular meetings of the City Couneil is perticularly noticeable. The electors of Ward Four, 1 think, have a right to ask those gentiemen why they ab- sent themselves from the meetings of the Oouncil, especially the last meeting, when the estimates and expenditures for the cur- rent year were before the meeting ?

Had the matter of illegally votingm: n ys to the W. ©. T. 0. been before the Coun: cil, those gentlemen would have certainly been present on the occasion. Lut when the matter of civic taxation and the general distribution cf Smoneys for the year comes befure the Counci!, Ward Four is unrepre- sented.

Elegant Dog Kennel.

Mr. K, B. Sears, of Boston, is about building

a dog kennel that will cost over $7,000, and |.

has purchased some 30 acres for the brutes to roam over, expending in all some $15,000 in tixing up the property. The building in which the dogs will live will be much more costly and comfortable than half the houses of the cultured Hub. The faucets for hot and cold water will be nickle-plated, and the whole building is to be finishéd in cypress wood. Qa the ground floor there will be a large bathroom, in which the dogs will be cleansed daily. In this 1oom will be the ordinary bathtubs, with hot and cold water and a large furnace. Back of this bathroom will be # large kitchen, in which the food of the animals will be cooked by attendants who understand their business. On this floor, also, will be a large public office for the use of the superintendent of the kennel. private office will be a mechanical contrivance by which every stall accommodating a dog in the building can be opened automatically in case of fire or damage of any kind.
