The news that the Dominion Gov- ernment has set aside 880.000 for the purchase of the historic battlefield, zthe Plaims of Abraham, near the City of Quebec, will be received with “favor. The grounds which comprise over 70 acres are to be utilized as a public park, to forever mark the spot where two brave men, W olfe and Montcalm, laid down their lives. Tue discussion on the subject in the House of Commons was calm, and the idea seemed to be, not to glorify the victory of the English over the French in their last battle on Can- dian soil, but to consecrate the ground on which men of both races died, and have it stand free from ~pollution forever. I] the hanks, and it is thought that in flit-nee may be brought to hem :1_:;1?nst the bill when it: sees bi‘f‘orc It was pointed out at apolitical meeting held in the interest of Hon. E. J. Davis, in Newmarket, on Wed- nesday evening of last week, that of all the provinces Ontario was the only one that has no public debt, but on the contrary, has a handsome fsurplus. The other provinces, which started on the same terms as Ontario, 34 years ago, have all piled upa gpublic debtâ€"Quebec, $35,450,548; ‘British Columbia, $7,425,262; Man- 'itoba, $5,701,850; Nova Scotia, $3,- 711,802; New Brunswick, $3,198,- 859; Prince Edward Island, $468,- 757. No one will contend that any of these provinces can vie with Ont- ario in her public institutions, her ed- ucational facilities, or the general prosperity and contentment of the people. In the matter of advance- ment, it is not too much to say that Ontario, with her cash surplus, can show three times the results that Quebec can, with her $35,000,000 public debt. The management of_ “Ontario’s finances has been something ‘ more than prudent. It has been amazing in the extent of value that- has been received for every dollar expended. Since Confederation the “total revenue of the Province has been 108 million dollars, and the ex- penditure in that time a little over 3107 millions. That is, theGovern- ments which have held power in this Province have handled over $215,- 000,000 with never the suspicion of a scandal, and no loss whatever. 'Whenever a case of smallpox breaks out in any village or town there is instantly a cry raised in Sfavor of vaccination. But this is “Sometimes too late. It is like look- ing the stable door after the steed is stolen. The people possibly are not fully alive to the dangers which may surround them. Within the past few months several hundred cases of “smallpox have existed in this prov- ince, which may result in awide- 'spread epidemic. People are too much inclined to ignore personal danger, and pay more attention to the duties and pleasures of life. Would it not be well for Municipal IfCouncils or Boards of Health to look :into this important matter, and start *an agitation in favor of vaccination. RICHMOND HILL. Changeâ€"H. C. Bailey.

Ontario has been fortunate in a long succession of Premiers who united to a remarkable extent the qualities of prudence and progres- siveness. At the proper time, too, they were not wanting in aggressive- ness. It will be a long time before Ontario will forget the splendid fight made by Sir Oliver Mowat and his Administration for Provincial rights. It is due to their efforts that all _ that vast district which we call New Ontario is still a part of our heritage. This region contains enormous min- eral and pulpwood resources, and at least sixteen million acres of arable land, being more than was under cultivation in old Ontario last year. This great domain, bigger than some European kingdoms, was saved for Ontario by a watchful Government. The Bill to increase the sessional indemnity from $1,000 to $1,500 for Members of the Parliament of Carr ada will probably not be popular, though it may prove to be a wise measure. There was very little op- position to the proposed increase from either of the political parties, and both the Premier and the Leader of the Opposition gave it their support. ‘It was pointed out that the $1,000 indemnity was provided when the sessions were expected to last only two months, whereas the sessions of late \‘ears are apt to run four and five months. To some people $1,000 seems a large sum, but there are many men in Parliament who would ‘ make far more in their own business or profession. The increase should bring a better class of men into the field of politics, and for this reason it. is hoped the country will approve of the measure.
