KNITTING APPROPRIATIONS.

An insane desire to carry out threats
made against the appropriation bill as
passed by the Senate has, according to
the action on Friday, led the House OF
Representatives to drop into groove OF
pettifoggery that can only result in
hampering the departmental work of
the Government and doing an injury
that cannot be counted in the few dol
lars and cents saved in cutting out one
salary here and shaving another there.
Judging from the recent slashing in the
appropriations, some of our legislators
need an hypodermic injection of horse
sense and craftsmanship. BY hedging
the position of the inspector of The
electric works the House is practically
putting that deparement in danger of
falling into the same unfortunate stu
alton that existed previous to Mr.. Cas-
sidy taking charge. On general prin-
ciples the employment, for Government
work, of a man whose time is required
by a private corporation is bad one.
But according to all data that has thus
far been made public, Mr.. Cassidy has
proved his ability to do good work I'M
der such conditions, by the efficiency of
his labor in behalf of the Government
We have failed to learn of an in
stance cited wherein Mr.. Cassidy has
not shown himself attentive to his duty
as inspector, and prompt to detect and
remedy any defect in the electric light
ing system. Our legislators well know
that passing the inspector item as now
proposed will force the present incum-
bent out of the department of public
works. The Government will lose the
services of a man long in the service
and thoroughly capable of filling the
position, simply to make an expert
ment that is attended with questionable
possibilities. When the present con-

alone?
By striking out the appropriation for |
a deputy inspector of schools the pro-
gress of the educational department will |
simply be held in check for another two
years, and the schools will suffer from |
the inability of one man to do the work
Of two. We cannot afford to slight our
schools. Let our Legislators turn their
attention to the ways and means of
raising money otherwise than by sac
rificing our educational institutions.
knitting the appropriation bill in the
manner the House is going about it is
more like the manipulations of a dema-
sogue than the advocate of economical
business administration. Admitting, for
the sake of argument, that the appro-
priations in certain departments are
too large, the House has jumped, pos
sibly without thinking, from the fry
ng pan into the fire.

We would like to make suggestion
TO our law makers. Revenue is needed
Why not tax the incomes of absentees
Ii is done in New South Wales and in
Victoria. Those estate owners who,
having made large fortunes, elect TO
spend their wealth in Paris, or London,
or Vienna. or St. Petersburg, of course
are free TO do so; but the State steps in
and says: OF the money made from our
soil you return none among our traders
and mechanics; We therefore lay a ten
per cent. tax on your income. 1t is en-
tirely just, and would bring far more
money into the treasury than some of
the tax raising methods already pro-
posed.

From the statement of the President
of the Board of Health it is plain that
officers of the Oriental Steamship Com
pany, as we'll as the Consul at Hong
Kong, need looking after. Mr.. Smith
states that the bill of health of the
Gaelic was free from scratch of the
pen except the name of the vessel and
the signature of the consul. Such loose
methods are almost criminal and

OPERA HOUSE TAN.

We fail to see on what grounds the
Senate refused to remit taxes on the
Opera House, while renting them on
the Y NJ. c. A. building. We freely
grant that the Y NJ. c. A. building fills
public want. that it affords means for
the amusement and the instruction of
the public, that it is an elevating insti-
tuition. But so is the Opera House. Most
people are now agreed upon the educa-
tional value of the theater. The stage,
as it is managed here, has always been
clean and healthy. Some of the most
elevating thoughts of the masters of lit
erature and music have found express
sion upon our boards. When the Opera
House burned down it was a real ca
lamity, and we have missed it much
during its period of ruin. Mr.. Irwin,
like truly public spirited man, has
come forward and rebuilt it. Does any
one imagine that the rebuilding of the
Opera House is a financial scheme to
put money into Mr.. Twins pocket? If
so, let him get rid of the idea at once
The Opera House does not pay even a
moderate interest upon the investment,
and it speaks highly for Mr.. Twins
sense of the duties of citizenship when
he is willing to spend his money for the
direct benefit of his fellow citizens. BY
all means remit the taxes on the Opera

We trust our legislators will not for
get the hint We gave them about taxing
the incomes of absentees. 1t is an emf
nenJly proper tax. The sugar export fol
this year will probably amount to be-
tween thirteen and fifteen millions OF
dollars. How much of that will come
back into the country? 1t is a question
well worth considering. Other states
hava faced this question and have de-
cided that it is just. In such matters
the Australians do a power of good
thinking. The Colonies are countries
where the greatest attention is paid
TO the welfare of the working classes,
and solutions of difficult social prob
lens are reached with a clearness that
is born of young and vigorous thought
In this particular instance the young
and vigorous thought takes ten per
cent Of the income.

To cut of from the Land Office $1,000,
