THE ASYLUM BUNGLE.

Tue clap~trap argument with which the bungling of the Government in respect to the proposed annex of the Hospital for the Insane was defended in the Legislature last evening waa not worthy e gentleman of the reputation of the Hloa. Mr. Warburton. While Mr. Warburton did not attempt to deny that the plans of the party architect were ali wrong, he avoided reference tothe mean and crafty ehifts by which the Government eonght to impose the coat of the extra excavation required for the foundation upon Mr. Lowe, and the continued neglect of the Commissioner of Public Works and Mr. Chappelle to give Mr. Lowe the apthority required by * with

: <¢ terms of the contract to proceca |

the extra work, The contract forbade Mr. |

Lowe to do any extra work vp» * : ..ee8 by the

oa wT written order of both the architect and the Commissioner of Public Works. This order has been, from first to last, persist- ently and systmatically withheld. The re- sult ie that, while the money borrowed to erect the “annex has been used as current revenue, the annex is still on the ground ja the shape of material placed there by Mr. Lowe, and yet unpaid for.

It may be easy to persuade partisan supporters in the Legislature that Mr. Walter Lowe is a very bad man. The facts in thiscase goto show that be isan hon- est man. If he had chosen to make a deal with the architect, he could have gone on with the work and perhaps made some money for himself. But the building would bave been “scamped” and the present loss as wel! as future expense weuld have been eaddled upon tie public. Looking at the reports of Messrs. McMillan and Le- may, and ell the correspondence (which the Government was afraid to table!) we can come to no othe, conclusion than that the course of the Government in this matter is inexcusably tortuous and unbusinesslike, When the architect’s blunder as to the foundation of the building was discovered, the necessity of correcting the blunder was apparent, But instead of grappling with the matter like men,the Government haggied with Mr: Lowe and refused to give the necessary order to correct the blunder, though repeat edly urged to do so by the contractor. Con- sequently, the responsibility for the Joss

damage and delay which bas occured lies

with the Government. ~~ e+e se

P. E. ISLAND'S CLAIMS.

—-

RereERENCE was wade by Mr. Martin in his recent speech-~a summary report of which was published by Taz Examiver on Saturdav—to the misapprehension of the Mail and Empire concerning the claims The Mail and Empire did not kaow, apparent- ly, that the P. E. Island railway was con- structed by the Provincial Government at the proper cost of the Province. We have no doubt that the ignorance of this able and usually well-iuformed journal in this regard is shared by many thousands of intelligent persons throughout Ontario and Quebec. This ignorance is to be overcome We regret that no disposition to overcome

of this province to railway extension,

it has been shown by, the Liberals, either in or outof Parliament. The Toronto Globe’s only reference to the important matter which Mr. Martin treated so ably is con- tained in these words:

“The greater part of the afternoon was de voted to the consideration of very unin - teresting Eastern motions, with hardly a guorum of members present,”

This shows how much tne leading organ of the Liberals cares about justice being doue to Prince Edward Island! The Globe’s remark i¢ untrue in more than one particular. Weare informed upon ex- cellent authority, that Mr. Martin had as good an audience as 1s common ona private member’sday and that his con- vincing statement received “the undivided

attention of the House.” It is not too much to say, unless our advices are wholly wrong,

that Mr. Martin’s epeech made a capital

impression and that he performed a dis- |

tinct service to tha Province in present- ue case of P. fi, Island as he did.

truth.

THE ESTIMATES.

As perween the expenditures of last year and the estimates of thie year there isa difference of $21,867.89. That is to say, the expenditures of this year are to be so much less than thoseof laet year. We note that the public expectation of a Pro- vincial exhibition open to Canada is to be disappointed. There is to be no exhibition this year,—thereby effecting a cash caving of $6,000. There is, #leo, to be a reduction of $8,400 in the expenditure upon reads, $23,404 baving been expended get year and only $15,006 being estimated for this year There are reductions under several other

heads. But the interest payment must

Secessarily bé ds large bf larger thew ever, and the estimate for education also exhibits

aemall increate. Upon the other hand,

the revenue of last year, all told,amounted

to over $272,550, while the expec diture of

thie year, as estimated, will amount to

$279,884a—difference of $7,334.00. It will

be inte resting to hear the Leader of the

Government explain the new policy which

has evidently been decided upon by the

Liberals in caucus. Is there to be an in~ crease of taxation oracontinuation of deficits ? That the estimates of expenditure are short by many thouscande of dollare,

and that they are yet away ahead of the

revenue, is apparent.
