THE MINISTERIAL POLICY.

The financial proposals of the Govern ment, as enunciated m the Financial Statement delivered by Major Atkinson on Tuesday night — an abridgement of which appears elsewhere— are not such as, m our opinion, will commend them selves to the country or the House. The Premier's position was admittedly one of exceptional difficulty. The late Government was compelled to appeal to the country, simply because the House refused to accept their pro posals for meeting a large d< uciency by a slight increase of taxation, which would mainly have been borne by those be&t able to bear the burthen— the monied class — men whose properties have been immensely enhanced m value by the expenditure of our bar rowed millions for public works pur poses, the interest on which borrowed millions, the colony under its present fiscal system is unable to meet. This is a. point which must not be lost sight of. Were it not for this item of interest our expenditure would be amply within our revenue. Owing to - this heavy charge, however, and to an unexpected falling off m several sources T>f revenue, a heavy deficit has to be " faced. The late Government proposed to meet this by increased Customs Duties on imported goods which could be produced or manufactured m the colony, and a slight increase m the property tax. The House would not assent to these proposals, and an appeal to the colony was the result. During the election campaign strong views were expressed as to the necessity for retrenchment and a cessation of bor rowing. Aod those members who now constitute the Ministerial party m the House, were returned on this ticket, and yet the first proposal of Major Atkinson is to borrow a couple of mil lions to square all accounts, and leave a little bit to cause a make-belief show of returning prosperity under his benign tule. We do not, nor do we think the country does believe, m borrowing for any such purpose. To borrow for the purpose of reproductive public works is one thing, and to borrow for the pur pose of making up a deficiency m the revenue is quite another thing. And so, we feel sure, will the British capital ists say if Major Atkinson's baneful policy be accpted by the House.

A BAND OF FORGERS

The Ken* Zurich Zdituog reports that A band of forg«n of antiquities, purport lag ts oom* from prehistorlo lake dwell - Ingt la Bwltserland, has been unmasked, •ftd) lisas of them »re being proieouted Won tbe santonal tribune at Freiburg, asd acme hare made admiuioni which folly beat oat taspioiom long larking In the mmdi of Swiss ercbsnlogiifr. Staffii uamed to hare bean (he beadqaatien of the tparlom trade. What led to the dirfloTery was the forgery of tbe name of Warn, the oastodtan of tha arcbaologlcal moieam at Neuenbnrg, to a certificate of tilt gennlneneis of a pretended laooitrlne . enieid, which had been made out of a ' ceppej plate that wai tobiequently steeped lot a long time In fine tufa mad. It «o*y be remembered that lome yean ago there waa eoaiiderable satisfaction among the friends of prehistorlo Swlm archeology at the dlicorory of « " horn age," several objects made of horn of various aninali aariog been discovered, bearing strange earviogi of diverge grade* of Imperfection. Aocordlng to admiuioni made by some of theaccaied, these horn objeotr were carefully made and deposited m plaoei where eabteqnently exoavatlone were taade to eatitfy the earloatty of the antl qutrlam. The proiecutlng authorltiei deolare that they hare proof that this manafaetare of antiquities was delibera tely and extensively carried on.
