The Investigation Continued.

——-

GRITS ARE DISAPPOINTED.

[SPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE OF THE EXAMINER]

After hearing Mr. Arnoldi’s evidence before the Public Accounts Committee last week, | must withi!raw the report I gave currency to thai the yacht ‘*\Jue” was built of Government material. There is no proof of that so far. Arnoldisays he got her from his brother-in-law—a_ gift, but she was worth between $6000 and $7000 Everything else he admitted and a good deal more. He admitted having received valuable presents from parties with whom he had dealings on behalf of the (Covern- ment. He got a pipe from one, a dining table from another, a watch chain from another, a horse from another, and a pair of bronze dogs from another. If he had done wrong, he had precedents for what he did under the McKenzie administration— so he told some of the Grit members, Arnoldi was immediately suspended.

Just here let me say that suspension from office means prohibition from dis- charging any oflicial duties and loss of salary. I observe in some of the opposi- tion press the statement that suspended officials draw their salaries. This is not correct.

Wednesday morning, after being up all night, it was hard work to get a quorum together for work. After a while they succeed, and examined Mr. Hume, who testified to having received extra pay for extra work actually performed in the name ofa clerk, one Hastings. Then the Com-

mittee, having nearly exhausted their search into Mr. Dewdney’s department, took # trip down to his house, where they found one

Mason, a Government carpenter, had been

doing vdd jobs. Mason, however, inform-

ed them that everything he did for Mr.

Dewdney, has been done after hours, and

paid for by Mr. Dewdney himself, so they

made nothing on that scent. They next

got hold of a young Englishman named

William Peart, who had been in Mr. Dewd-

ney’s employ while Governor of the N. W.

Cerritories, and whom he had brought with

him to Octawa, and installed as a messen-

ger in the Interior Department. Peart

deposed that he was a messenger paid by) the Government, and performing his duties in the Department, and that after hours he

was in the habit of waiting on table at Mr.

Dewdney’s residence, and _ performing

ther menial offices for him. When asked

how much Mr. Dewdney psid him for these

services, Peart told the Committee that

was his businessand not theirs, and re-

fused to answer the question. Then ensued

a lively squabble, which ended in the Com-

mittee supporting the witness in his refusal

to answer.

I may say here that there are not a few: messengers in the Department here, who | make quite a snug sum by waiting at table at large dinner parties. It is quite the custom--they are professional waiters and they are paid for their services. Mr. Dewdney seems to have taken a fancy to Peart a number of years ago, when Peart was a boy, and secured for him the position of messenger in the Interior Department. Because Peart is a messenger dves not preclude him from making an extra dollar by wailing at Mr. Dewdney’'s table, but some of the Opposition thiak it should.

The opposition were considerally dis- appointed last week in their search for scandals. They bac Mr. D. O'Connor, Q. C., summoned to t I] them all he knew about the presentation of a service of plate to Sir Hector over two years ago by some of the Minister’s friends. But as they were going beyond their authority the chairman of the committee shut down on them, only, however, after they had wasted the whole of Friday forenoon m wrangling. They are still pursuing the investigation and moving for the production of vast quantities of papers and the attendance of numerous witnesses. Their explorations will have to be more successful than they were last week, to satisfy them or the public either.

We have probably heard the last of the Sunday Observance Bill, introduced by Mr. Chariton. As amended by the Special Committee, and reported to the House, it was a mass of incongruities which com- mended itself to very few. The chief objectors to the measure were Mr. Mills of Bothwell, Mr. Casey and Mr. Barron, all opposition leading lights. Mr. Mills de- clared that it was an infringement of Pro- vincial rights, and that the subjects dealt with were in many cases covered by pro- vincial and municipal enactments, and he expressed his opinion that Mr. Charlton's principal motive in the matter was the same as actuated him in the Jesuit case, to obtain notoriety. It is necessary to quote only one clause to show what the effect of the bill would be. It undertook to allow printers to work after nine o’cleck ou Sunday evening, but the Ontario lvcal law says printers shall not work at all on Sun- day. By a vote of 63 to 18, the committee rose and reported progress, and that is the end of the Sunday Bill for this session, at any rate.

Mr. Cameron of Huron, introduced a bill in 1886, to allow accused persons to testify in their own behalf. It did not meet with favor then, but its reception was more gracious this session, when Sir John thompson spoke strongly in support of the principle. Sir John asked, however, that the bill should not be pressed for the pre- eent, and he offered to distribute it with his own codification of the Criminal Law, and ifthe opinion of the legal fraternity was expressed in its favor, he promised to incorporate it next session with his own / measure,

NOTES FROM OTTAWA.

The absence of the master-hand of Sir John Macdonald is plainly evident in some of the recent doings of the Government. The issue of the Order-in-Council abolish- ing the dinner hour is an exhibition of weakness which we would never have seen had Sir John been at the Council Board, To expect men to remain in ill-ventilated hot stuffy rooms, cooped up with a lot of musty, mouldy pspers irom 9.30 in the morning till five in the afternoon without breaking their fast is not only childish but unjust. The ministers do not do it themselves, and they should not ex- pect their subordinates to doso. The new order has created a small revolution in hun- dreds of houses in Ottawa, as it necessitates a complete change of domestic arrange- ments. In ths boarding houses there is chaos ; the unmarried civil servants, with- out homes of their own, want their hot din- aer in the evening, while the other boarders insist upon having their mid-day dinner hour undisturbed, and the mistress is driven frantic between them. While there is a proportion of young bloods in the service whuv do as l-ttle as possible, and others of whom it is said that ** they devote all their spare time to the Government,” there is the vast majority of careful, sober, plodding, conscientious men, upon whom the real work devolves—men of middle age, whose habits have become secoud nature, and it isan act of violence to require them to give up their principal meal in the middle of the day, Besides, while we hear much of the mag- nificence + tlc public buildings at Ottawa, it is a notorious tact that they are ill-venti- lated, crowded, and unhealthy, in which it is positively dangerous to spend eight con- secutive hours each day breathing their con- taminated air. The Order-in-Council is universally condemned, and the Govern- ment will not only gain nothing by it, but they wlll get no thanks,

To hear the opposition members and read their organs, one would naturally suppose that they are most innocent and incorruptable paragons of virtue. They affect to regard all railway corporations as contractors born enemies of the people and as thieves and robbers ready to scoop the treasury. Yet what is their own position. Every one of these gentlemen has his railway pass in his pocket, and not a week goes by but they use it, while at the same time they draw their mileage from the Government. Posing as they do as the champions of public morality, how they can reconcile this with their ideas of honesty, lam at a loss to know—or rather I should say, 1am at a loss to understand what their ideas of honesty are. They say it is wrong for a Cabinet Minister or public officer to accept a present trom the C. P. R. or from Government contractors, yet they all have accepted a railway pass from the C. P. R. on which they travel all the year round, and save themselves hundreds of dollars. Where they draw the line is what I want to know. A poor fellow on a small salary, with a wife and half a dozen children, must not earn a few dollars by extra work ina his office after hours, yet if a man has brains enough, he can make a good thing out of lecturing or writing for Americam magazines or Sorneeth or by playing the organ or leading the choir in some of the numerous churches. 1 know a number of instances where ‘literary men” supplement their salaries very considerably in this way; not a word is said about them, and yet they are often the most useless men in the office. This may seem paradoxical, but it is true. A good “office man” is rarely found corre- sponding tor the press or contributing to magazines, or playing a church organ. There are exceptions, of course, as your readers will allow, if they know who your Ottawa corre- spondent is.

A very satisfactory and significant answer to the Grit Blue Ruin cry is found in the official announcement that the reports of the Dominion for the last fiscal year ended 30th June, exclusive of British Columbia, amounted in value to $95,500,000, being an increase of $1,200,000 as compared with the previous year, the McKialey Bill to the contrary notwithstanding. When the figures for British Columbia are made up, tire increase will be found to be still greater, In the month of June, 1991, our exports were only $850,000 in excess of the exports of June,

Munter River Notes,

The farmers in this section are busy with their hay, which is decidedly better than last year. The grain and root crops never looked better. Mr. James Patterson is erecting a grist mill in the place of that burned down, about two years ago. Since its destruction the farmers have svffered considerable inconvenience (not speaking of Mr. P's. loss), and it is to be hoped that it will be in fuli blast this f!! The concer: given by the Young Men’s Dramatic Club, of Cuaarlottetown, on 30th ult., was a grand success. The hall was filled by an appreciative audience, and perfect order prevailed. The programme was excellently carried out, each performer doing his part in a manner that would do credit to professionals. The gem of the evening was the singing by Master Brent McInnis. Messrs. H. McLaod, St Clair Gallant and J. Hennessy made their debut as amateur actors, and acquitted themselves in such manner as led one to suppose that they would come to the front rapidly. Mr. McLeod is quite a comic. Mr. Payne presided at the organ,and in his accompani- ments showed that he has complete control of the instrament. Messrs. Gaudet and F. A. Trainor rendered in fine style an instru- mental duet, and Frank Murphy gave a capital reading. In fact, the whole per- formance was of avery high order and everybody seemed well pleased with the evening’s entertainment. Should ever the same Clubdeem it worth while to visit Hunter River again, they will doubtless be greeted by a crowded house. JASPER. Hunter River, Aug. 3.

For presents to distribute in England, Emperor William carried a large iron safe filled with snuff boxes, cigarette cases, pina and rings; but, large as his stock was, he had to bry several thousand pounds worth in addition in London.
