Sic Richard Cartwright and the Globe in the Old Days,
(Condensed from the Ottawa Correspon- dence of the Empire.
[CONCLUDED. ]
THE GLOBE ON SIR RICHARD,
Sir Richard Cartwright is one who loathes the very appearance of evil, and fairly bristles with constitutional hatred and ab horrerce of desertion of principles. The Globe holds Sir Richard up as a pattern, +s a sign to the young Grits by which to con- quer, and no wonder, for Sir Richard owns the Globe and has purchased its editor body, bones and breeches. Once the Globe, then not owned by Sir Richard, thought differently. In 1872, the year before he became Mr. Mackenzie’s mixer and muddler of figures, the Globe charged Sir Richard with the following enormities : (1) Mr. Cartwright voted to ** reward fou) murder ” in the North-west ; (2) Mr. Cart- wright, on the 18th December, 1867, voted ‘* for the adoption of a route for tke Inter- colonial Railway which he knew to be inimical to the interests of the nation” ; (3) Mr. Cartwright, on the 11th December, 1867, heJped by his vote to ‘* subvert the parliamentary safeguard respecting the con- trol of money”; (4) Mr. Cartwright, on the 5th of May, 1868, ** frustrated econo- my,” having helped to vote down Mr. Hol- ton’s motion for the re-organization of the civil service; (5) Mr. Cartwright, on the 19th May, 1868, voted down Mr. Blakes motion for the better securing of the inde- pendence of Parliament; (6) Mr. Curt- wright, on the 15th May, 1869, delivered the treasury into the hands of the
most unprincipled of men, by _help- ing to vote down Mr. Mackenzie's
motion respecting the fortification grant ; (7) Mr Cartwright on the 16th June, 1867, voted for the violation of the constitution ‘in the matter of the Nova Scotia subsidy’ - (8) Mr Cartwright on the 17th June, 1869, voted for the ‘corruption of members of the House,’ having helped to vote down Mr Holton’s motion respecting the payment to Col. Gray for codifying the law; (9) Mr Cartwright on the 19ch June, 1869, vuted for the ‘Chantry island’ job; (10) Mr Cart- wright on the 10th May, 1870, voted for the Manitoba Act, thereby becoming a putty to one of the most iniquitous and blundering of measures; (11) Mr Cartwright on the 28th June, 1871, voted against the abolition of dual representation; (12) Lastly Mr Cartwright on the Ist June, 1872, voted for the ‘abdication by Parliament of its constitutional right to control the pub- lic expenditure on the Pacific railway,’ having helped to votedown a measure by Mr E E Wood respecting the moneys asked by the Gavernment for the construction of the Pacific railway.”
The list of grit corruptionists might be prolonged indefinitely, but the above will suffice for the present. While on the sub- ject, the question of payments to perman- ent clerks for extra services may be for a moment considered. Much grace is claimed by the grits in that, though they must per- force admit that these payments were made under their rule, yet the Civil Service Act, as at present constituted, and forbidding such payments, was notthen in force. In other words, they admit that the same prin- ciple prevailed under the Mackenzie regime, but claim that at that time the law did not forbid such extra payments, To that ex- tent they try to shelter themselves against what they now admit to be a wrong behind achange in the law. It is time their theory was exploded, and exploded it most effectually is by the cold facts, The Can- ada Civil Service Act 1868 (31st Vic., cap. 34) sec. 20, says :
No allowance or compensation shall be made for any extra service whatsoever which any officer or clerk may be required to perform in the department to which he belongs.
It was under this clause that Sir Richard Cartwright and Hon. David Mills author- ized and acquiesced in extra payments for extra work to permanent clerks.
The effect of the revision of the Act in 1882 was to qualify, instead of rendering more stringent the provisions ol this clause. Sec. 49 of the Act of 1882 (45 Vic., cap. 4) reads :-—
** No extra salary or additional remuner- ation of any kind whatsoever shall be paid to any deputy, head officer or servant in the civil service of the Dominion unless such sum shall have been placed for that special purpose in the estimates submitted to and voted by Parliament.”
It will be noticed that while the old law did not admit of compensation under any circumstances, the amended Act gave Par- liament power to vote a special sum for ithis special purpose. This apparently was thought not to be proper, and in 1888 an amendment was introduced (57 Vic., cap. 12), which provided in section 12 :—
** No extra salary or additional remuner- ation whatsoever shall be paid to any deputy head officer or employe in the civil service of Canada, or to any other person permafiently employed in the public ser- vice.”
This brought the matter back to the old position under the law of 1868. The oaths of office in the Act of 1868 and in the present Act are substantially the same.
| Now note this: In spite of the express \provisions inthe Act of 1888, Parliament votes money to pay extra amounts to per- ‘manent clerks in a number of departments ‘every year. When the irregularities in the Interior Department were discovered a ‘great deal was made of the fact that in
sundry other departments the money for
extra services was voted by Parliament and that the Interior, if it had followed the same course, would have cleared its skirts. W hat will have to be decided, upon a read- ing of the law, is the difference in guilt be- tween the payments illegally voted by Parliament aad those illegally authorized by the official heads of the departments. The illegalities by Parliament do not con- done the illegal acts of officials. The monumental bvodling of Mercier & Uo.
dees not palliate the lesser bood- ling of officials at Ottawa. The groas —_— of the Grits from 1873 to 1878 do not relieve from guilt the Connolly- McGreevy-Murphy crowd. But it wiil S as well to note, on the part of those who are now crying corruption from the house tops, and especially those reverend preach- ers of the Gospel who are pointing to Ottawa as the sink of corruption, and the Government as a vessel of wrath, that the searching light of to-day has not revealed, except in the Baie des Chaleurs case, a tithe of the rascality that prevaded public life in 18745 6, bad as the present revela- tions are, aad that in the present instance not only is the hand of punishment falling heavily and promptly upon every guilty head as quickly as guilt is proven, but the administration stands pledged to, on its own behalf, thoroughly investigate every branch of the service, and visit vengeance, swift and sure as retributive justice can be, upon every wrongdver, be he high or low, be he the holder of a portfolio or the veriest hanger-on at the doors of the departments.

Pienic at Tracadie Cress.
The pupi!s of Glenaladale School District,
Tracadie Cross, heid their annual picnic on the 24th of August, on the beautiful grounds of A. McDonald, Esq. During the lorenoon dark clouds hung over the horizon and at many times it was expected that the flood gates would be opened; but about noon the sun sent forth his welcome rays, a..2 soon the cloudy sky was succeeded by a clear one and ail were convinced that a glorious after- noon was in stove for them. It is estimated that there over four hundred persons present, all of whom seemed to enjoy themselves to their heart’s content. The tables were well stocked with all the delicacies of the season, and presided over by lacies who fully understood their business, It is needless to say that the tables and refreshment saloon were well patronized. The music was excellent. Mr. McInnis’ pipes did their share to render the day pleasant and enjoyabie, and a Jarge number of tadies and gentlemen “tripped the light fantastic” to the stirring strains of the violin. The programme of sports, which consisted of flat races, sack races, hurdle races, potato races, three legged races, vaulting with pole, ete, commenced about two o'clock and continued until the curtain of night enveloped the landscape, when all lett for home well pleased with the manner in which the day had been spent. The best of order prevailed. The ratepayers of this district desire to return their sincere thanks to all the ladies who rendered such valuable assistance on the occasion.

A Maentricent Horet.—New York is to have the most magnificent hotel in the world, the plans forwhich are at present being made. The new hotel will be located on Fifth and Madiac n avenue, and Twenty- sixth and Twenty-seventh streets, on the present site of Hotel Brunswick. The building will be entirely of marble, abavlately fire proof and 12 stories in height. It will be designed in the Roman style of architecture, and contain 450 rooms. The rooms will be large, and a mammoth restaurant capable of seating 1,000 persons will be provided. Banquet halls, large and beautifully decorated, will be a feature. Russian and Koman baths will be placed in the building. The build- ing will be so constructed that it will be surrounded by a drive, about which will be planted trees and rare plants. The iower floors of the gigantic hotel will be let out as offices and stores, such as those now located under the Fifth Avenue Hotel. The Brunswick will probably be the name by which the palace will be known. It is estimated that the capital of the company will be nearly, if not more, than $20,000,000.
