By that means, he capitalized ted for, y reduces the total equalized - assessment of Whitby, from $342,800 to $122,167 80. It is claimed 'that, by compu: ting the county rate upon the last named sum, Ww hithy can be made to appear as haviug paid as large a per-centage as the townships. There is not a word ef explanation any- where to show authority for the very remarkable calculation by which the "equalized capitalized value" was turned into anvual value at siz per cent, and turned back 'again at fen. That device may be a very 'clever one, and may do credit to the wits of its inventor, but it is certainly without legal warrant of any kind. The finance committee had just as much right to remit taxes altogether as to compute in that way. We can ouly say--now that the matter has been fully explained --as we said at the beginuing of the controversy, that we are amazed at the confiding innocence df those who allowed such a thing to go on for six years. We cannot eonceive of the slightest resemblance of an argument in defence of the * principle" upon which these remarkable financial calculations were made.

The little island of (Crete, after passing several years in obscurity, is again figuring conspicuously on the world's stage. Comparatively unimportant in itself, the recent movements and present attitude of its inhabitants have attracted to it the carpest attention of all clyil- ized, and of some scmi-barbaric commuuities. There is a lively sympathy with the brave Islanders throughout Christendom. Greece is scuding hundreds of Volunteers to fight theic baftles. Russia is look- iug more intently than ever towards plgert] digin, In Western Ba- . oped ~yd¢ AMEricAn continent arrangeme:. pects arc being perfected to aid tetas i in every way con- sisted? with she veutral stand takeu by the various governments. What will be the issue cannot yet, with certainty, be predicted. The insur- gents have doubtless been success- ful hitherto ; but it is clear that un- less they are substantially assisted, they will inevitably be crushed.-- The total populatien of the Island is but 200,000, while that of Turkey is many millions. They may be cffi- ciently aided in either, or both, of two ways ; the Christian population of the other provinces and islands, which is quite numerous, may rise in insurrection ; or. the great powers may interpose in their behalf, Of a general rising of the Christians there are mauy indications, and there have been some outbreaks. The proba- Vility of foreign intervention is also quite strong, as the troublesome * Eastern Question," naw 'more pro-- minent than ever, is directly involy- ed. One of two things we. expect soon to see : the Cretan insurrection put down apd the brave people who bave sustained it hitherto crushed by a still more appalling tyranny; or the Turkish empire wrapped in the flames of a general rebellion. In the latter event a general European war will very likely be the conse: guence. The time has come when the * Easterp Question" should be disposed of" "Furkoy bas ceased to be thie * sigk mun," and has become the dead man. The question now is who shall make away with the car cass? The powers are ro well aware that they Gdnrot agree in their an- swer to this question that they in-- sist the deadsman s:glive.. But events will force them ere long to recognize this position as untenable, Turkey caniiot mich longer be kept upon its fect by the fowets of Western Eu- rope. .

There is an old fable which repre- scuts an'ass us aspiring to the lords ship of the animal creation: Failing to secure the Toma, ¢ he, Coveted, while appearing simply as an ass, Lie one day arrayed himself in the skin of a dead lion, which he found by the way. Feeling confident of success in his new guise, le sallied forth in quest of his four-footed com: panions, who had refused to acknow- ledge Lis supremacy.. The first ani: mal he met was a lamb, which he would have succeeded in frightening, had he not,'in attempting to roar, be- trayed himself by his bray. Of this fable we were reminded by an article in tac last issue of the Observer. Not having succeeded in frighteniig us, by joe.
