Mr.. Gears Estimate.

Mr.. Gear said he found the increase
Of government revenue in lS97-9S over
the previous period was rs per cent,
and the increase In the last period 1875
per cent over 1S97-9S, and on the same
basis, including customs receipts, the
revenue two years hence might be
estimated at eleven or twelve million
dollars. He had not the figures with
him, but calculated that the increase
in taxable property alone would very
nearly double within the next year.
He knew of many cases where proper
ty has increased from 100 to 1000 per
cent in value the past year. If the
Nicaraguan canal was inaugurated, as
seemed probable, there would certainly

Ingenuity.

The following ingenious mode OF
crossing a river was once displayed by
q kaffir, who had for some time stood
watching the vain attempts Of party
of soldiers to cross the stream at
time when to ford it was attended by
considerable danger. After smiling at
their efforts with that sardonic express
sion remarkable among these savages,
he quietly raised heavy stone, placed
1t on his head and then walked. with
perfect ease, through the torrent to the
opposite side.

Not a Valid Objection.

We are not sufficiently we'll vers
ed IN such matters as TO decide
whether tie valuation bill is good or
bad. 1t is probably little of both.
But one objection, land we believe
the principal one) which is that the
law is inquisitional, and that the
Commissioner of Valuation, will of
necessity, have to inquire and ..pry
into peoples private business" Now
this objection does not seem TO us
valid. What objection can an hon
est man have to let an officer of the
State know of his private bus;ness?'
When 1T comes to matter of taxa
tion what private business" can a
man have which he would de sire to
keep secret from the law, This bill
would never have been offered but
Tor the fact that great deal of tax
