doubt be ready to answer any re-
spectful question asked by his con-
stituents. We hope he will state
whether or not any money has been
borrowed by the State or advanced
for the State by any bank or indi-
vidual, directly or indirectly, and if
SO under what circumstances what
amount, etc. This is a reasonable
request, and we are sure he will
comply without waiting for it to be
put in a more formal shape. A
servaut\ should be ready at
all proper times and places to give
an account of his stewardship.

way, these figures show something else.
If these official reports are to be relied
upon, then, in a population of 1000 600,
over 100000 persons receive aims every
year. We doubt if the number Of indi-
viduals is so large, for it is the custom of
some dispersaries to count each visit a
patient makes as a patient treated. But
The actual number is immense, aud in.

crease Of population The truth is, the
majority Of our hospitals, as they are at
present managed, are liable to do more
harm than good. Apparently they do
much good, and for the time do relieve
suffering and want, but in the end may
do much harm. Giving help too readily
yer during sickness is hurtlul, aud
when it is offered freely without the GER
tain knowledge that it is really needed, it
very naturally emoves the healthirl
stimulus Of necessity, the dread Of which
prompts every individual to provide for
the misfortune Of sickness.
