When Hon. Wiu. Mulock took office as Pastmaster General he found a deâ€" partment with an annual deficit of $800,000. _ Within two years he had reduced this to less than $500,000, and then he gave the people of Canada the boon of a twoâ€"cent letter rate. He naturally and properly expected that this reduction of the revenue by oneâ€"| third would increase the deficit and placed the figures at $700,000 for the first year. From his report for the past six months however the deficit is only $250,000 or at the rate of $500,â€" 000 a year being $200,000 less than the estimated deficit. It is evident that the people are usingâ€"the mails to ‘â€"â€"Pour Diiferent Positions= The Toronto World (Tory) comâ€" mends the work of Hon. Wim.

On Sunday, the Rev. Dr. Williamson preached his inaqugural sermon, tolarge audiences, in Trinity Mcthodist church, Berlin. | ‘The Doctor selected as a basis for the forencon discourse the passage "Ye have not chosen me but I have chosen you" (John 15:16), and the anâ€" ticipated exposition and application of so suggestive a text kept his audience in wrapt attention until the close. | He had come to Berlin, he said, an almost entire stranger to the congregation. The itineracy had its advantages and disidvantages, but the former exeeeded. He was a firm believer in and an â€"advocate of it, save and excepting, perhaps, when packing up. â€" He did not favor the system of extending | invitations, and was glad that he had not been asked for by the congregation he was addressing, ina& much as that it left: them free to disâ€" miss him when his services became no longer appreciated he had never acâ€" cepted aâ€" Seall" and would doubtless have declined one to Berfin had it been extended. â€" His prayer had been and wasâ€"as be hoped it was likewise that of his audienceâ€"that â€" God _ would sanction the choice ot the Stationing Committec. â€" The speaker believed he had that the united prayers of himâ€" self and the congregation had been answered; and on this assumption it beâ€" hooed them to unitedlyâ€"set about doing God‘s will. In connection with a elrange of pastors the questions were sometimes asked: "Is he an ‘old fellow," an ‘old school chap‘ ? ete. The conâ€" dition of the heart it was that determâ€" ined the age of a man. He (the speaker) had known "young men" all shrivelled up it the age of thirty, and "old men," at eighty, comparatively young. | Personally he was a young ’m;m and â€" intended to remain always young. _ ‘Then, there were the queries: +s he a good financier" does he "draw p\l-jlj[;.lm[fi“jilng a revivalist!" rfis replies woere: ()excelfent, provided hits people did as asked for in the matter, (2) «litto, if the members came out regular themsclves and brought others with them, to hear him, and, (3) would to God the question occupied a more prominent place in the list queries suggested in such a connection." | He (the speaker) dlid not claim to be an angel; if he were, he would have ‘a lonely time of it in this world" {supâ€" pressed laughter.) â€" In a similar strain, indicative of what the relationghip of pastor and people ought to be, the doctor disconrsed in terms alike elognâ€" ent and instructive, and elosed a manifestedly highly appreciated sermon, with an earnest appeal for the prayers, sympathy _ and coâ€"operation af the flock which is the providence of God he had been given the charge. Rev. Mr. Willamson Preached T y Sermons on Sunday, Dr. Bryee, Provincial Health Inâ€" spector, visited the Berlin sewerfarm on Tuesday in company with the Sewer Committee and Dr. Roberts, of New Germany, health officer for Waterloo township. The farm is looking exâ€" ’m-mely well and little fault could be found with it. Dr. Bryee will submit a report on its condition in about a ‘ week,. _ According to the best authorâ€" itics, the solid parts of the sewage should be intercepted and retained for a time in dark, air tight vats, which has the effect of eventually reducing these parts to liquid which then passes off to the filtration beds. Chairman Bowlby is ofâ€"the opinion that some such system will eventually have to be adopted here and Dr. Bryce may recommend it as he considers such a process the only true solution of sewer farm evils. 7 ~ For some occult reason no excise figures can be obtained, though they were given to the pross in former times. The value of the taxable goods at Berlin, the products of six cigar factorâ€" ies and one bonded warebouse, is stcadily increasing, the revenue from that source being about 50 per cent. more this year than last, and 41 per cent. more than the average for the last three years. Moreover the revenue derived from excise at the Berlin port now exceeds that got from customs, a condition unheard of before this. year and accounted for by the fact that imâ€" ported tobacco on which a duty of 10 cents a pound is levied, now passes through the excise department instead of through the customs. local ofigial madea return to Ottawa which was just two cents out of the way.â€" 1t was at once detocted by the Governmentâ€"book keepers and several communications were sent respecting it, But im vain. ‘The source of the error could not be discovered and after spending the two cents ten times over in postage the local man was ordered to write off the penny. But the end was not yet for in doing so he placed the troublesome amount on the wrong side, thus making the error four cénts and causing widespread chagrin in officialâ€" duni, though the correct entry was soon made. ‘ Dr. Bryce at the Sewer Farm.

He Ahen took ‘p the present bill and analyzâ€" ed it at considerable length, m";fi' that it neither adhered to county boundâ€" aries nor did it give a fair reprosentation by popolation. le stigmatized it as a caricature on legislation and a disgrace to any deliberative assembly, and eaid that even if the Government bulidozed it through the Honse and got 5t assented to by the Bonate, it wonld at the very earlicst opportunity reccive the most severe candersnation at the hands of the electorate of Ontario. ‘ Mr. Paterson insisted upon his denial being accepted, and Mr. Wallace, at the Speaker‘s suggestion, repudiated any inâ€" tention of declining to accept the correcâ€" tion of the Minister of Customs, but commented again upon the unapimity with which Mr. Paterson, Mr. Dryden and Mr. Macnish repudiated Mr. Salâ€" livan. Mr. Wallace said it was somewbat reâ€" markable that the Ministcer of Customs should make the same statement which bad been made by Hon. John Dryden in South Ontario, and Mr. Macnish in West Klgin. Thoso gentlemen did not know anything about the men who bad been working with them during the corrupt tye elections in West Kigin and South Ontario. _ A supply bill for $9,500,000 was then passed through the formal stages. f The Redistribution Debate. Hon. Clarke Wallace, in resuming ‘the adjourned debate on the reaistribution bill, said he proposed to compare the act of 1882 with that of 1899, and thought he would be able to show that the former was by far the more equitable measure of the two. After paying his respects to the Minister of Customs, who, he said, scarcely ever alluded to the biil in his long speech, but bad confned himâ€" scelf to & criticism of the redistribution bill of 1882, which be bad grossly misâ€" represented, be passed on to the mannor of the redistribution bill of 1882. It bad been supervised by Sir Mackonzle Bowell and Hon. J. C. Aikins, and bad been fairly worked out on the basis of repreâ€" sentation by the population. Compare it with the manner in which the present redistribution bill had been prepared. In this case, he said, those two notorious ‘‘heclers‘‘ of the Liberal party, Captain Sullivan and Mr. Simeon Hewitt of Brantford, who are now outlawed in Ontario, bad been called in by the Minâ€" Ister of Customs, and had been sitting "cheok by jowl" with that gentleman while they fixed up the bill to suit themâ€" selves. \ Hon. Mr. Paterson said that he did not know Sullivan, and that be did not know whetber Hewitt had boen in Ottawa lately or not. Sir Wilfrid Laurior suggested that the Opposition would find a more appreciaâ€" tive analogy in 1891 than 1896, when not one but two votes were givon the then Government on account of the months of July and August, so thag the hon. gentlemen bad not yet attained the mark of fully reciprocating. _ _ _ Mr. Fostor said that in giving a frank and prompt assent to tke motion, which would facilitate business, be could not resiss the tempuation of contrasting the action of the present Opposition with that of the Liberal Opposition in 1896, when the ory was ‘*Nob one cent sball be votcd,"" and not one cent was voted. A pleasint feature of yesterday‘s proâ€" ceedines was the very enthusiasilc recepâ€" tion with which Sir Richurd Cartwright was greeted upon his return after taking an enforced rest of several weeks. Vote on Account Pussed. Hon. Mr. Fiekiing made a statement with regurd to the estimates, the effect of which was that be had consulted with the exâ€"Minister of Finance, Mr. Foster, and had decided to adopt the precedent set in 1891 of asking for a vote of oneâ€" tenth of the whole of the estimates which bad not yeb been passed, so that the operations of the Government may not be em barrassed.

He would, if ho desirâ€" ed to bave a real gorrymander, pot allow the judges to divide the constituencies fairly. but he would consult the beclers of each connty and would change the boundaries of the ridings so that where they elected one member now they would eloct two. He would take all the hives of his opponents and incroase them; next he would scatter all the Liberal hives and put them where the votes would do least. good. Then fhe would wipe out weak Conservative ridings, and when bis opponents complained he would assure thom that 1f they were injured it was purely by accident, that the equalization of representation was the ouly object he had in view, and if that argament did not satisfy his opponents he would exâ€" plain to them that they Bad not the genius of government and that it was in the intereats of the country that the Libâ€" orals remain in power any way.
