Tue United States’ Secretary of the Trea- tury,—Mr. Gage—estimates that, withstanding the war taxes, there will be a deficit for the fiscal year ending next June of $112,000,006, and that the total expendi ture of the year will be $689,871,000. It costs something to carry on the affairs of @ great nation in a state of war! Taxes in the United States must go up as 4 consequence of the Empire Expansior resulting from the war. The etanding army of the States is to comprise 100,000 men and the navy is to be greatly enlarged. Still the tax payers won't complain overmuch, eo long as they see thatthe government of the States is winning glory for the Great Republic and doing good in the world. > _— ew = -— not- IT CUTS BOTH WAYS.

NOTES AND COMMENTS. — What was the price of kittens in Cra- paud last week 7? —Infra dig—a Provincial Premier can- vassing from house to house in a Dom inion bye~election. —It’s said to be ‘a bad sign” when the rooster crows in the evening. The evening Patriot’s rcoster portends death to the Liberal party. —Is it poss.ble that Provincia! mon-y— borrowed at that—has been used to “influ» ence” electorsto vote for the Liberels in Dominion elections ? —We don’t believe in election trials ; — but it would really be worth while to have a thorough investigation of Liberal “ de- vices ” in the Eaat Prince contest. — There was aconsiderable reduction of the Couserya'ive vote at Emyvale. It is said that some of the December money orders for road work came from Emy vale ! the statement true, nt. Ba Mr. Bergeron, who was present Pr me, declares ; i an .

I have also heard Mr. Lemieux speak in the same sense on other occasions; and such appeals as he condemns ip his leiter are frequently made by lesser | Liberal speakers in the country, in dise tricts where there are no Erglish elec‘ors. In fact, such argamente have been the strongest used by our Liberal opponents since before the general election of 1896.

MUCH NOISE - LITTLE WOOL. ee Tue Patriot of last evening is very lo . and not very accurate in its boasts about the bye-elections. It says: “Victory all slong the line is the news flashed over the wiree in the Patriot’s despate 1e8 of today.
