total sum on deposit of $41,- 012,465, a falling off of $1,943,981, which With interest which had meanwhile been added to the deposits, namely $1,475,- 292, made a net decrease of $3,419, 184, the number of accounts was only reduced 1619, namely from 171,287 to 169,618.The number of withdrawals was 90,151, and of deposits, 154,673, showing an excess ot the number of deposits over withdrawals of 64527.To meet needs arising from debt redem»- tion and the above saving bank withdrawals & temporary loan of 500,000 pounds, (say in round figures $2,000,000) wag effected in England.The public debt

cent., bonds and decreased interest on savings bank deposits reduced the rate of interest paid on the gross debt of $3.37 to $3.52 per hundred, and the net interest from $3.07 to $2.99.The receipts and expenditures account showed a balance to the good, otherwise surplus, of §3,886,893, the revenue being $39,879,925, ard expenditures $35,094,- 031, #8 compared with a surplus of $1.- 865,053, the previous year.The resuit was achieved by an incrsase of revenue over the previous year of $1,097,- 055.18, and decrease of expeditura of $923,083.29.The items of increase in that part of the revenue that comes under the head of taxes were: Customs, $l42,169.77; excise, $731,379.45; public worke, $157 553.04; postoffice, $136,885.26.4 The other increases were trom various sources, such as fines,

better; but neither the record of 2 094, made by Maud 8.in 1884, nor her record of 2.08% made in 1885, has yet been equaled.We can imagine Maud S.with queenly dignity,listening during those six years to the humorous predictions that were made concerning the many rivals that were going\u2014always going\u2014to dethrone her.First Jay-Eye-See who stands next to ber by the record,was going to do it; then Maxey Cobb, his owner proclaimed, was certain to doit.He was followed by Belle Hamlin, Guy, Axtell Sunol and others.To none of these did Maud 8.condescend to reply, except Sunol.When the latter trotted half a milô in 1:024, at Detroit, Maud was tempted to send her the following telegram : \u201cMiss Sunol\u2014It takes two halves 10 make à whole \u2014Maud.\u201d Charles Marvin, the great California trainer and driver, in his book, in contrasting the 2:19} of Bunol with the 2:12 of Axtell, saye\u2014and says truly\u2014\u201cseconds count a reat deal when you get down to 2:12.\u201d Whatever Sunol may do in 1891\u2014and \u2018we do not infend to make any predictions in her behalf\u2014we imagine that Mr.Marvin and other drivers will find out that seconds count still more when Toad down in the neighborhood of :08%.* Robert Bonner\u2019s Horses.Robert Bonner, in à review of his dealings in trotting horses, Says he began the acquisition of los horses on acount of ill health

could add Maud Macey, Lady Btout and several others with records better than 2.30, to say nothing of Lady Palmer and Flatbush Maid.the first team to trot a public trial in 2.26, over 28 years ago.Among the brood mares will be found Russella, own sister to Maud 8.; Jessie Kirk, dam of Majolica, 2.15, and Miss Majolica, 2.244; Daybreak, by Harold (sire of Maud S.), dam Midnight (the dam of Jay-Eye-See); Lady Stout, the first trotter to beat 2.30 8s a 3-year-old; Lady Winfield, sister to Sheridan, record 2.20}; Lucy Uuyler, trial to skeleton wagon, 2.15}, and a half mile to top wagon at

futurity and junior champion stakes in 1888 since he went lame a few days before the subarban last year.He went the mile and & quarter ia 2.12 and pulled up lame, having struck a tendon in his left foreleg.He was fired by Dr.Shepherd, but has not raced since then and the impression was prevalent that the great equine would never be fit to racs again.1.Scoggan, his owner, said to-day that he was as sound as ever, and he expects great work of him this year.Jockey Clubs Fined.BY TELEGRAPH TO THE HERALD, LINDEN Park, N.J., Jan.19.\u2014The Linden Park Blood Horse Association and New Jersey

years and who bave at times been backers of some of America\u2019s best pugilists, happened to meet at Capt.Cooke's office Saturday.| For several hourse they discussed some of the recent big battles and they were unanimous in the opinion that some changes must be made to avoid having so many uneven contests.Change the weights and make some new classes, seemed to be their idea.They finally came to the conclusion that the following weights and classes would putan end to one-sided fights; Bantam, 116 pounds or under; featherweight, 116 to 122 pounds: lightweight, 122 to 128; heavy lightweight, 128 to 135; welterweight, 135 to 143; middleweight, 143 to 162; heavy middleweight, 152 ta 163; light heavy weight, 163 to 175; and heavyweight, 175 and over.Fitzsimmons Countrymen Rejoice, BY

he made in Parliament, Feb.22, 1878, Sir Charles Tapper declared that \u201cif Governments are gbod fo# anything they are good to incpease the prosperity of a country by acts of Parliament, or to meet difficulties in which a country is placed from time \u2018t> time and which require legislative interference.\u201d The Charlo:tetown Patriot suggests that now is the time for Parliament to try its hand.Times are admittedly bad and if Sir\u2014beg pardon, we mean Hon.Mr, Foster, Sir Charles Tupper\u2019s Wtccessor, os \u2018make us prosperous by legislation, let us have it promptly.We are agredd, with this proviso: let the legislation take the form of reducing taxation.Hitherto attempts to legislate the country into prosperity have been based on the assumption that higher and higher taxation would do it.That plan has utterly failed.Now, suppose we tri, 8 r duction of taxation, and ia this way light n the people\u2019s burdens, lessen trade restriction, cheapen the raw mater- isl of manufactures, and afford greater + cOpa for inter-change of trade with other countries.That kind of legislation would be 1 the line of common sense.It can be scopted without consnlting Graat Britain, the West Indies, the Argentine Republic, Australia, or even the United States.No power, not even Great Britain, will object to our consummating auch legislation, We commend this plan to our Ottawa rulers.We are sarprised that such clever statesmen as they claim to be have not befora now thought of it.If they see lions in the way .of getting reciprocity with the United States, they can, while negotiating or.getting ready to negotiate, by a simple and easy stroke clear the way for larger trade.by reducing the tariff amq thas lightening, the heavy taxation which it involves.\u2018We do not claim this plan as original.It is not patented by anybody.It is as free as air tothe Government, if only they will have the courage to defy the protected combines.We do not ask anything forthe sapgestion\u2014no timber limits, no railway subsidies, \u201cnothing for the boy,\u201d not even a \u201cblind share.\u201d We shall be Content to share in the prosperity which reduced taxation and freer trade will bring to the country, and shall endeavor to \u201cpaske provision for old age\u201d uuder the improved conditions thus brought about.We respectfally urge upon the Government this plan of legislating the Country info prosperity.Seriously considering it may help to relieve the dis- trdcting preplexities with which they are surrounded in consequence of the kicking of the combines, the demands of the farmers for relief from taxation and the pressure of the Imperial Government tp enter info closer commercial relations with the United States.THEY ARE A HAPPY (2) FAMILY.\u201cThe frantic efforts which are being made ty the organs of the Tory party to show that there are seri>us difference of opinion among the Liberals oa th trade question, are easily explained.Political chaos prevails in the Tory camp and to divert at'ertion from this a hne and cry and a cloud of dust is being raised about supposed - differsnces o opinion in the Liberal ranks on mattars of detail.Judged by their public utterances Sir John Macdonald\u2019s Cabinet is hopelessly divided on the trade question, The President of the Council is oppossd to reciprocity even in natural products.Mr.Chapleau is in favor of freer trade relations with the United States, even to\u2019 the extent of free trade, if that be shown to be necessary.Mr.Carling says wo do not need reciprocity.Sir John Thompson, Sir John Macdonald and Mr.Tupper told the people of the Maritime Provinces they were in favor of reciprocity in natural products, while Mr.Bowell is 80 loyal that he does not want to have anything to do with the Yaukees in any shape or form.To add to the chaos the American Government has proposed reciprocity negotiations and there is abundant evidence to show that in a diplomatic sense the Imperial Government is bringing pressure to bear on the Canadian Government in that direction, It is quite natural that the Tory organs, sickened by contemplation of this chaotic condition of affairs, and dreading a flare-up on the part of the protected combines and Red Parlor men, should seek relief in misrepresenting their Liberal opponents.Then there are other troublesome questions.Mr.Rykert\u2019s presence in the House of Commons is a thorn in the ministerial side and is pretty certain to lead to a re-opening of that malodorous scandal, the Cypress Hills timber limits.The Baie des Chaleurs Railway business promises to develop into a large-sized scandal involving the reputation of Senators and members of Parliament.The last has not been heard of the Cara- quet Railway business; there will probably be something more said about the scandal, partially uncovered last session, in connection with the Albert Railway in New Bruns wick, and it is quite probable some new and disturbing questions in connection with railways and railway subsidies may turn up at the most inopportune moment, Besides all this, Mr.Dalton Mec- Carthy threatens to be again the ruthless disturber of ministerial peace on the dual language and separate school quas- time.The Tory organs can almost be excused for turning sadly from the con.femplation of so much political family unhappiness, and geoking relief by man- Sante 28d ha 3.K.W.MBeRim ufacturing fictions about their Liberal opponents.\u2014\u20140.WHATEVER WE ARE LET - LOYAL.If the readers of the Restrictiogist jogrnals Will tax their memories for a moment they will remember thes they were told many times and oft that reci- prodity wae a fad, 8 fond imagining of the Liberal party, a will-o'the' Wisp, and what nat, if only for the reason that the United States Government would have nothing to do with it.It takes two to make à bargain, said one of these wiseacres, and the United States steadily decline to be ame.Now these same restrictionists tell us that they are instructed to say that the American Government have made overtures to the British Government with a view fo effecting a reciprocity arrangement with Canada.It is not the United States, therafore, that desires to keep up the doable wall along the international boundary.It is true they have addressed themselves to London instead of to Oitawa, because that is the formal and official wayof conducting sach a nego- tration while Canada remains in leading strings and is not permitted to make her own commercial treaties, and also because they greatly distrust the alleged bona fides of the present Government in anything relating to trade.The Americans believe that the Ottawa Government is so far under control of the Red Parlor people that while, if left to himself 8ir John might pretend to seriously consider the question, his more anxious thought would be to discover some means of burking it.With the recommenda tion of the English goverament to adopt the Liberal policy\u2014a practice Tory governments in England are rather addicted to\u2014it will be difficult for Sir John to follow any crooked device intended to kill the negotiation, and it will be impossible for Six John Thompson to declare the idea treasonable or for the ministerial press to scream \u201cdisloyaL\u201d It is curious to observe how the rhapsodies of US BE the red-parlorites concerning the empira and the base disloyal ingratitude of thinking of trading with the States, have been drowned by that simple little instruction from London.THE STRAITS TUNNEL PROJECT.Rev.Principal Grant, of Kingstcn, in a letter to The Week, takes up the cudgels in support of Senator Howlan\u2019s scheme for constructing a tunnel or subway between P.E.Island and the mainland.He points out that the terms of union ratified when that Province entered the Confederation, provfied that the Island should be placed \u201cin continuous communication with the Intercolonial Railway and the railway system of the Dominion,\u201d and contends that the winter communication provided, first by the Northern Light, then by the Stanley, as well as by ice-boats between Cape Tornientine and Cape Traverse, does not constitute the \u201ccontinuous communication implied in the terms of union,\u201d and that therefore those terms have not been carried out by the Federal Government.The understand ing of the term \u201ccontinuous communaica- tion\u201d as insisted upon by the Islanders, and practically conceded on the mainland, is \u2018continuous steam commanica- tion ;\u201d and If this be what is meant by the term, there can be no question that the terms of union have not been carried out.But is continued winter cr>mmuni- cation in that seuss practicable ?It je must be confessed that so far all efforts in that direction have failed for at least three ofthe winter months; and it is doubtful if a steamer can be built saffi- ciently strong and powerful to navigate the traits steadily from the end of December to the end of March.Principal Grant takes the ground that all past attempts made to maintain continuous communication have been \u2018\u2018makeshifts,\u201d and contrasts the treatment meted out to British Columbia and Prince Edward Island.In the one case Canada carried out her engagements to the letter, in the other ghe did not.What Principal Grant means is that it cost Canada one hundred million dollars in land and money to keep faith with British Columbia, which had only a population of 35,000 wheg she came into the anion, while nothing approaching such an expenditure has been made in order to keep faith with Prince Edward Island and her 120,000 people, From the P.E.Islanders stand-point there is no disputing the force of this argument, though it may fairly be claimed that as between the circumstances of British Columbia and the Northwest on the one hand and P.E.Island on the other, the cases are not quite parallel.The main point, however, is clear ; Canada has not fully kept faith with the island Province.Continuous communication by steamer being impracticable, the Rev.Principal advocates the adoption of Senator Howlan\u2019s subway project.He believes in its feasibility because the St.Clair tunnel has been successfully constructed, and is confident, on the authority of Mr.Walter Shanly, that it will not cost more than million dollars.The length of the St.Clair tunnel is 6020 feet; or, if we include the land approaches, 15,150 feet\u2014 a little less than three miles\u2014and cost in the neighborhood of $2,500,000.The tunnel under the Straits, with land approaches, could not be less than ten, might be eleven miles.Ag- suming that it could be constæact xd at the same rate as the St Clair tunnel\u2014and it is very unlikely it could be built at a lower rate\u2014the tunnel under the Straits would cost all the way from eight to ten million dollars.There is & considerable difference between that and five millions.The Herald has no desire to antagonize or throw cold water on this tuanel or sub- ~ five.THE MONTREAL HERALD, TUESDAY.JANUARY 20,1891.way project, but wa take the ground that before Canada bas been irrevocab ly committed to it, before the undertaking has been commenced, its fessfbilitg shall be demonstratad beyoad doubt, and at least an approximately correct estimate of the probable ccst made, With all due deference to Principal Geant and Mr.Bhanly, we do not think its feagibi- lity has been fully demonstrated, nor the cost approximately estimated.We do not think sufficiently thorough investigations and explorations have been made to warrant a positive expression of opinion on these points.The people of Prince Edward Island are acting within their rights in demanding she fulfilment of the terms of union, at least ia their spirit if the letter is impracticable.They bave good grounds for complaining of the extraordinary bungling which has characterised the Government\u2019s management of communication hetwesn the island and the mainland, last winter as well as the present.There is little wonder that they are agitated as well as angry.But anxions as they are to have the terms of union carried ou*, we do not think they have any idea of insisting that the Dominion shall embark in the tunnel project, or any other scheme, until its feasibility has been demonstrated and its probable cost shown to be a not unreasonable burden for the country to bear.The fact of the matter is the Government has played-#eet and looses with this question ever since it was brought before Parliament by Senator Howlan.Probably they want to keep it où the cards for politiop] purposes at the next general electiops.They should deal with if une way or the other\u2014satisfy themselves of its practicability or otherwise, and accept or reject it accordingly.pe THE NICARAGUA CANAL.The Americans attach great importance to their Government kesping control of the Nicaragua Canal which when finished will become à lighw ay of mercaniile and political importance.Some U.S.journals are nervous about European nations becoming tbe controliing influeace, and to avoid this & committee of the Sanate proposes that the Government shall guarantee the company\u2019s bonds, principal and interest, to the amount of $100,000,- 000 at 3 per cent, to run 100 years, and retain in the Treasury 70 per cent of the |: $100,000,000 in shares which the company is authorized to issue.The Chicago Tribune says, \u201cthis will give the Guvern- ment a control over this great National work which cannot be disturbed.It will make it purely and permanently an American canal, dominated by American inte- reats, and reinforcing American power.\u201d Gen.Grant long ago realized the importance of this control and said, after he had made a most careful investigation of the Nicaragua project : \u201cIn accordance with the early and later policy of the Government, in obedience to the often expressed will of the American people, with a due regard toour National dignity and power, with & watchful care for the safety and prosperity of our interests and industries on this continent, and with a determination to guard against evenjthe first approach of rival Powers, whether friendly; or hostile, on these shores, I commend an American canal, on American soil, to tbe American people, And congratulate myself on the fact that the most careful explorations have demonstrated that the route standing in this attitude before the world is the one which commends itself as a Judicious, economical, and prosperous work.\" While a possibility of the construction of the Panama canal remained the proposed Nicaragua canal attracted comparatively little attention, but as the Isthmus swindle has been used for all that it wae worth the more feasible scheme is likely to be treated with the importance it deserves.\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 RETIREMENT TOO LONG DELAYED.The upshot of the Parnell escapade appears to be the resignation by that gentleman of a leadership from which he bad previously been deposed by a large majority of his former followers.But Mr.Parnell bas destroyed whatever merit there might have baen in such retirement by his obstinate selfishness, protracted for & length of time during which irreparable D mischief was done to the cause of which be professed to be a devoted adherent.He gave excellent countenance fo those who had all along said it was not Home Rule so much as Parnel?s ambition that he was serving, There are times, of course, when à strong one-man power is necessary to solve a difficulty, but that rule did not apply to the Irish question.On the contrary it wag essentially a matter in which the hearty accord of à number of influences was desirable.Mr.Parnell, however, seemed to have bettered the nickname, \u201cthe uncrowned king,\u201d for he aspired to be an absolute monarch in his party concerning whose movements or intentions it was highly improper to enquire.So haughtily did he treat the most valuable man in his party that several of them seem to have been almost glad of the difficuléy in order to get rid of him.Some indication of Mis mind > BOY be gathered from the readiness with which he turned on anyone who differad with him or declined to continue their support of him.Mr.Gladstone, with whom he was in close confidence on the Irish question, was suddenly discoverad to be a garrulous old man, an old spider, and s0 forth, the moment he declared that it would be impossible to carry Home Rule at the coming elections with Mr.Parnell as leader of the Irish party, and the confidential communications that had passed between the two were immediately divulged.Sir John Pope Hennessy was a candidate for Kilkenny, endorsed if not absolately selected by Mr.Parnell, but as seon a8 he gave hig adherence to the main body of the Home Rule party Parnell declared him to be unfit to repæesent an Imish constituency.The delegation in Amerigs, telegraphed him in hopes of finding some of saving the party and he returned a n- - \u20ac \u2018there would be no soup kitchens

glory.At present it seems bent on showing that it is merely an annex to the Republican party machine.Tee deep interest which the Tory organs are manifesting in the coming convention of Ontario Liberals, and the columns of advice they sre offering, constitute an almost touching political phenomenon.Liberals will no doubt say: \u201cThanks awfully, gentlemen, but don\u2019t matters in your own camp require some attention?\u201d .\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 AN Ottawa despatch says Sir Joha Macdonald took the initiative in the preliminary reciprocity negotiations now on foot, having last summer made an offer of reciprocity in iron.ote and coal.This was what Sir Henry Tyler, president of the Grand Trynk Railway Gompany, referred to in an interview published last autumn in a.London Faper and subsequently noted in The Herald.Minister Foster is reported as saying that the American proposals aimed at a settlement of all existing disputes between the two countries and was of opinion that at least a confer- énce would result.\u2014\u2014\u20140 Ax Ottawa Tory paper contains an appeal for subscriptions in aid of a soup kitchen in the central part of Ottawa City.Many cases of extreme destitution are reported.It isto be hoped the appeal will be responded to liberally.But some may refuse on the ground that it was promised by the Tories in 1878 the regime of the

The Herald hag always shown an intelligent and geoner- ous concern in the affairs of Manitoba and the Northwest, it may interest your readers to learn that there is accumulating evidence of an entire recovery from the collapse that followed the burating the boom in 188% Wholesale houses ar; now receiving payments which for à longa time looked very doubtful; dwelling houses all about the city of Winnipeg which remained long wunlst have found tenants, many new and costly buildings are in one or other stage of preparation, and the value of land in and around the city is steadily increasing.The advertisements of the raal estate men show what excellent prices are being realised, and private advices bear this out.A Montreal friend whe owns property in the prairie portion of Winnipeg told me that he has held this property since the boom, its value being merely nominal and not realizable even at the small figure placed upon it.Recently he received \u2018an offer of $175 an acre more than the price at which it had been valned, and that since declining on the advice of every Winnipeg man be consented to sell at the figure named, he has been offered $50 an acre mors from another quarter.And still the advice to him isto hold on.This speaks wall for the whole province, for the prosperity of \u2018Winnipeg is meraly a result of the prosperity of the outer country.Btill sir, the people of the west, though they may be here and there silenced by artificial aids to reti- cense, will not be satisfied until the restrictions upon trade with their neighbors have been removed.MANrTOBAN.\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 * How a Beautiful Flower Was Named.TT 1e.A An old legend tells of two lovers, waike/ RENAU D.{ in by he river Rhine.The lady begged KINC & her suifor
