MAY 30, 1879.

A Cornparison.

have been pleasing to the Queen’s County who took an

Iy must electors of interest in Dominion politics during the sitting of Parliament, to observe the com- plete mastery of every detail of his depart- ment, shown by the Minister of Marine and Fisheries. ‘his acquaintance with the duties of office could only be obtained by the constant application of Mr. Pope to the work of his department during the short period he has held office, and an aptitude for the direction of its affairs. There is a marked contrast cieless, and extravagant administration of the Knight of Westmoreland and the faith- ful economic management of the present Minister. Mr. Pope was not long in office till he discovered the leaks by which Sir Albert Smith had managed to let slip so The kind at- tention shown by Sir Albert to his friends

was not extended or continued by Mr. Pope to those gentlemen. The St. John Tele- graph thinks Mr. Pope’s conduct in Parlia- ment, while answering the silly questions put by some members to him, was not up to its standard of politeness. But we are inclined to think that the real grievance is to be found in the fact that the Minister of Marine very abruptly cut short the extra- vagant demands of Sir Albert's friends in St. John and Halifax. The Knight of Westmoreland was a ‘‘Chesterfield” in point of politeness towards his Grit friends who fuir- nished thesupplies in Halifax tothe New/ield.

The expenditure of over $7,000 among the supporters of Mr. Jones in Halifax city on one occasion, for supplies for the ‘* New- field, when only half the amount was necessary, was an instance of extreme solicitude for the financial happiness of his friends. It was, perhaps, in the opinion of the Jeleyraph impolite and ungraceful for Mr. Pope in Parliament to make an expose of the frauds practiced by Sir Albert and his friends in connection with supplies. The Minister of Marine did not show a proper regard for the sensitive feelings of the ring of grocers and others who im- properly enriched themselves at the ex- pense of the taxpayers. We opine that those who bear the burden of taxes in this Dominion will not stop to ask if Mr. Pepe’s language was chaste and elegant, or his manners polished, while exposing the looseness and extravagance of his predeces- sor. The purchase of the ‘‘ Glendon” for $20,000, when her value is known to be only $5,000, was an act of courtesy towards some of Sir Albert’s friends, which has re- ceived the commendation of the Telegraph. But because the present Minister of Marine has steadily set his face against granting any favors of a similar kind to those which characterized the administration of the Department under Sir Albert, he does not possess the qualification which the Tele- graph considers necessary for the office of Marine and Fisheries. Sir John McDon- ald thinks differently ; and complimented

Mr. Pope in Parliament for his efliciency. —_—_ OO —r—r—————

Hon. Mr. Yso thought tho petition should be taken up and disp»xed of at ones.

Mr. McKay also thought shoddy vendors a nuisance, against which the people should be protected. He supported the Bill be- cause he thought it a move in the right di- rection.

Hon. Mr. CampBeti said the country was being fleeced by shoddy vendors, ete. He did not think the Bill ultra vires ; and he did think the country should be protect- ed from hawkers.

Mr. Laveurtin McDonatrp thought it too difficult a matter to protect people in the way the Bill intends. Common sense is the best protection.

Hon. Mr. Prowse could not support a law which discriminated bétween the resi dent deaisr and the commercial traveller. He moved that the Speaker take the chair.

Mr. Ricaarps opposed the Bill. Its pas- sage would be class legisiation of the worst kind.

Mr. Gorvon seconded the metion; and, in doing so, said he thought the introducer had rendered good service in having the matter ventilated. Many persons thought the Island had been nearly ruined by shoddy vendors. Motion carried.
