It was in part as follows : " I have given notice to the Kingr of the Belgians and the lierman Emperor to terminate the treaties of i8b2 •■ind iHi)5 whereby I .im pre- vented from making with my colonies such fiscal arrangements within my empire as seem to be expedient. COl.ONIAl, ATTACHMENT. The presence of representatives of the colonies and India at the cere- monies of the celebration of the six- tieth year of my reign has contribut- ed 'o the strength of the bond of Uiiion in all parts of my empire, and additional proof of the attach- ment of the colonies to the mother country has been lurnished in the fiscal year legislation of Canada and Britain alnoe 1837. In making his budget speech in June last (1897,) sir Michael IJicks- Heach took advantage of the occa- sion to look back over the Queen's reigr, .ind recite a few interesting facts. ^ The total r'avenue of the nation in 1836 was 852,500,000, and in the year just closed it was^i 1 2,000.000. The total foreign trade of Great Britain in 1836 amounted IO;£.'i25,- 000,000, whereas last year it was nearly £,'738,000,000. The deposits in the savings banks in 183(5 amounted to £.18.750.000, ■■ukI last ye.-ir's deposits totalled up '^' £■ 155,000,000. In 1836 no less than eight cents to send a letter 15 milles in the L'nited Kingdom ; it cost 24 cents to send a letter 300 miles, and to send a letter to South .\merica it cost 84 cents. \Vhile in 183(1 the annual interest of the debt was a yearly lax of over S5 per head of the population it is now only Si. id per head. In 1836 the total cost of the monarchy to the taxpayers was X 53-1.

The decision means that not only Ontario, but every province, has the right to appoint (Jueen's counsel lor their own courls. The Domi- nion disputed this right.

She is recognized, in this line, as equal to the best in Kurope, Canada or any where on the American conti- nent. Money, time, study and ex- perience have been used freely and unbcgrudgingly to place the provin- ce iit educational matters in the supre- me position in which we find her to- day, and which she has occupied for years.

There was no dark horse in the Held. Imagination created one. Reality hlighlesd imagination's hopes, and exposed its untenable position.

He presented the city of Ottawa, alter he had spent hundred of dollars on it to conxert it from a mud hole into a comfortable and respectable leisure spot, with " Bingham Squ.ire ". His yearly civic allowances of Si, 000 he gave to the vaiious charitable institutions and hundred of dollars from his private purse he gave to help the needy.
