The Finance M inister s budget speech, dealing as it does with the con- dition of the trade and commerce of the country, and of the state of its finances is always of interest to the intelligent citizen.

Nothing can show more clearly the utter indifference of the County Council to public opinion, the voice of judges, grand juries, the press and the people of the county, who voted in favor of an Industrial Home for the poor; than the almost contemptuous way they ignored the question at the late session. Hardly a tittle of notice was given to the vote, which the same council last by motion required municipal clerks to report next June what was the result of the vote in January. This triing ; with a great and pressing question should show Mr. Mowatt that the time -has come to take the question out of the hands of councils and make this pro vision for the poor compulsory.

They expect an equivalent every\ time. In the days when newspaper men took passes, it was distinctly un- derstood that a quid pro quo in the ' shape `of advertising was to be given. It was shown` in the debate that Mr. -Davin,` for instance, got 10 cents a mile both ways as mileage from the people, . amounting to $400 a session, which I was actually a subsidy from the: rail ways for Mr; Davin s ` vote and influ'4 ence in parliament, in `favor of those `railwpys, when required. a Every mem- .( -.-nun vv 4: I rnlio Just as THE ADVANCE .antici[;ated, Mr. Mulock s bill refusing mileage to all members of the Commons and the `Senate. who take railway passes, has been burked in committee.

See- ing, as they thought, a light they got over a fence and proceeded through a eld, one of "them remarking that their friend's avenue was a very broad one. On coming up to where they saw the light they discovered it -was some stunted piece on which one of the . electric lights threw a glimmering re- ection, which they had mistaken for the house. A `consultation was held, and after resting for a while they plow- ed their way on making for the light. As they were then in the north east eld of Mr. McCarth_y s farm, and the snow about six feet deep, and no snow shoes, the travelling was difficult. A few of their friends. who had arrived at their destination after waiting till 10 o'clock, became alarmed fortheir safety, concluded they were lost, and `supply- ing themselves with snow shoes, lant- erns, ropes, torches, horns, cowbells, 3` and a steamboat compass, proceeded to hunt them up. and fortunately got on their tracks and came up to them just 3 in the nick of time, as in getting over _ one of the barbed wire fences two of 0 them were impaled and the other, who, I1 owingto the advantage of large feet, 3- . and wide area of boots sole, did ; not re- , quire snow shoes, was, trying to extri- `ll ' catethem from the fehce. A convey- 1: ance was procured and they were '1 taken to the house, and by means of warm ._ blankets and gentle friction were restored tea consciousness of their identity. It is a noteworthy fact that one of" the gentlemen who is_-a pro- nounced temperance man, instantly re- f vived under the inuence of res toratives, but for some time the case of _the other` two was doubtful. We are glad to an- nounce that in the morning they `were 0. resting quietly, but their overeoats and.
