single dollar. By ® statement withheld

until this morning, amounts due by the Gove of the banks on the 11th of Apr |—-just a month later —were as follows :—

Deserved Promotion

We heartily congratulate Lieut -Colonel Irving upon his promotion to the office of Deputy Adjutant-General at Halifax. It is gratifying to note that appreciation of | personal merit is nut wanting in the Militia Department, andthat amanmay gain recog nition from General Herbert without press- ing his claims upon the attention of the | Government. The only cause for regret in| connection with the matter is that Colonel Irving must needs reside in Halifax. This regret will, we are sure, be sh sred by the militiamen of the Province without excep-' tion, by the Caledonian Club and by a host! of personal friends. s

Our Seed Store. ;

i

|

Mxssas. Georce Carver & Co have made their new store on Queen Street a} credit to the town and Province as well as} to themselves. It is not now nece ssary | to send abroad for seeds of any description. | The main store behind is used for farm) seeds, such as wheat clover, timothy, vetches, etc.; also, general groceries. | That in the second fist (formerly Patton) Bros. Carpet Department) is the sales) room for garden seeds. Here every kind of flower and vegetable reads and root seeds are kept. This room is full size of the | building. It has been fitted up especial’y | for a seed store, and provided with shelves, | cabinets, counters and tables to hold and | show to advantage the hundreds of kinds of seeds. All kinds of garden seeds are imported in bulk and put up on the premis- es in packets, ounces, quarter pounds or pounds ready for the customer. All the packets for flower and vegetable seeds are lithographed, showing the} natural colors, making selection easy. } Quite a novelty is some hundreds of pounds of onion sets, about the sizo of small marbles, These, when planted, will grow to large onions very quickly. Nearly one hundred leading mercnants sell Carter & Co's. seeds and find them as represented. The brick warehouse on Sidaey Street con tains heavy stocks of Northwest Red and White Fife Wheat, Clover, Timothy, Vetches, etc. Messrs. Carter impute their success to first procuring the best seeds, keep'ng a full supply of everything, selling at moderate prices, fair dealing, and a liberal use of printer's ink.

@ur Waterworks

Sra,—In the last iesue of THe WerrkLy Examinek there spoe+red a statement from Mr. Alexsnder McKinnon, Water Com- missioner. He has directed attention to the importance of an additions! large pipe extending from the pumping station to the city. We goes on to sey that our water- works are self-sustaining, and that there is @ good prospect that the proposed exten- sian will pay for itself, besides effsrding an additiona! guarantee for safety trem fire.

Now Sir, in the firat p'ace, with regari to the safety from fire,— do not go to tax the people

to make them ssfer from fires than they are at preesent. You will have fires. For in- stance take a louk at the surrounding cities and see the fires they have had ; see Hali- fax ; sew Boston ; see St. John’s, Nfli , and Chicago and New York and our own city and other places. Tnose cities all had their water works complete and still they had tires, and so will we aslong as we have so many wicked men in the city. Is there any more need for the second pipe than fora second pump? Is there nc danger of the pump getting out of order?) Why need the pipe more than the pump? He says that the waterworks are s» prosperous aa to be self-eustaining. I was toll that there are in this city forty houses that have the water in them that do not use it! If that is the case it looks bad.

I think Mr. M:Kianon cannot know the real state of our city. In fxct, he cannot kaow the poverty that a great number of our people is surrounded with. Just cast your eye and behold how many of our people are leaving their homes—gone off to seek new homes for themselves—yes, many ot them freeholders, and many more are going to fellow them. They cannot live here. This isa pitiful picture, but true. Mes like Mr. McKinnon, thar have a good business and an extra salary from the Waterworks, cannot see or feel these drawbacks After carefully looking over those things, who could say we could stand more taxing? Sir, there may be something of anether nature in the way Now, Sir, Mr. McKinnon is as fine » man aa you can find in the city; but there is a disposition in the human mind to get wealth. Ic belongs to man more or less; and if this second pipe was laid down would not thuse Commissioners receive additional pay? You may think this is too hard of me. I will remind you of a verse from the great Scotch poet :

**But, och, mankind are unco’ weak, And li tle to be trusted; If self the wavering balance shake "Tis rarely right adjusted.”

I think the poet has hit it well, But Mr. McKinnon says that it wiil pay f riteelfina few years. I would like to know how! If the pipe in use supplics the city with more water than they can use, I want to know what use he can turn the other to, 20 as to mike it pay’ I am glad that the City Councillors stand in his way, and I trast they are men of good judgment and not temptet to do any thing by reorivin pay for it in any way. I am quite eatiafied that they will do the best that they can for the city in general, and vot allow any ad- ditional tax to be laid on as.

Tvespay, April [8.

committee on

At the afternoon session, the road scales was resumed.

Mr. Arsenault said he thing was notas it ought to be Commissioner of Public Works’ Depart. ment. If everything was correct and above board, he would be glad to give us the information we have been asking for. Charge «fter charge has been made against ( and the Commissioner

with the

remain silent or absent himself from the Honse than to make reply. He had not asked the Com missioner many questions this session, and would now | ke him to give us some infor- matiun about the Darnley Bridge, which is in a part of the district he (Mr. Arsenault) had the honor to represent- He saw by the report of rhe Commissivner of Public Works, that the repuilding or repairs of that bridge cost $1,429. Now by reterring to the return of the Supervisor for that district, he found the following amounts as being paid to no less than sixteen persons, viz:

$1367 60 Now, we see by the return of the Supervisor that the bridge feost $1,367 60, Commissioner of Public Works that it cost $1,42900, a d fference of $62.00, which does not appear in the Supervisor's return, but which he supp sed was for commission, Tenders were received for this bridge from the fol- lowing persons :

We see that tenders were offered very

low for the performance of that work. Why did they not accept these tenders ? Was it that they were afraid «ll their friends would not get a fair share? It looks very much like boodling. The Com- m‘ssioner of Public Works says that Mr. McLellan, who had the lowest tender, did not come to time and would not sign the contract. If so, what about the tender of Mr. Lamont, who was very low. He (Mr Arsenault) was sure Mr. Lamont was a good man. Did they notify him? No. They passed over him and all the other tenders, and instructed their supervisor to get it done somehow, either by publicor priv- ate contract or bydays’ work, they gave him carte blanche to spend what he had a mind tu. He did not think that this was the best way of conductiug the Public Works of this Province.

Mr. Shaw censured the Commissioner of Public Works for wichholding the informa- tion asked for by the Oppvsition early in the session—most of which it would not take long to make ready, and might bave been tabied long ago. The Government appear to be either ashamed or afraid to furnish the information asked for. The Morell Bridge scandal of itself was enough to condemn the Commissioner of Public Works in the eyes of all right-thinking people. There was over $600 expended upon that bridge which had not been accounted for. Let the Commissioner of Public Works tell us where that snug sum his gone—whether it isin his own pocket or not. There was also a discrepancy of $80 in connection with the work on Vic turia Bridge, which the Commissioner had not explained away. We could go along

from bridge to bridge — could traverse the Province from end to end—and show that wherever the Commissioner of Public Works had

touched a public work that public work was unclean from the fact that there were many expenditures and discrepancies which coul. not be accounted for. The statement asked for concerning the opezation of the road- making machine should have been tabled long ago. We were told that there was to be no favoritism in connection with this machine. Bat what dothe superviso

returns show? They show that the m

glaring favoritism has been shown. In his district alone three-fourths of the men em ployed in connection with this machine were grits—either first or second consins of the supervisor. Men who were political favorites of the Government were paid as high as $3 per day for man and team. Could such conduct be justifid? Was it in the best interests of the country? The road machine had. not hada_ beneficial effect upon the roads. It Jeft the roads in a much worse condition than they were in before it was used. He would respectfully suggest to the Commissioner of Public Works that he see that lighthouses are erected at certain sctious along the road for the benefit of persons travelling after night in order that they might not get lost in the muck and mire which invariably follows in the wake of this famous mud-making machine. Produce could not be carried over the road in some sections without har- nessing three horses to an ordinary load— and eventhen it was withthe greatest

along. Hon. Mr. McLean said Mr. Shaw had no grounds whatever for the charges he

thought every |

had made. He did not believe one half the statements he mace abont the road machine. He (Mr. McLean) had never misappropriated any of the public money The hon. member (Mr. Shaw) was epeak- ing from pure prejudice, and he could not prove a single one of the statements he made. The extra sum expended on More?) bridge was main'y for new contracts— changes for the better from the original— and there was also an expenditure for re- pairs to the old bridge. He also defended the Government's action in not accepting the lowest tender offered for the Darnley bridge, and said he thought money was saved by the course that had been pursued in connection with this work.

Mr. Suliivan said he had not charged the Commissioner of Public Works with dis honesty--with putting the public money in his own pocket. But why did he not give the House the information asked for iv connection with the public works of the Province. The Morell Bridge transactio: was decided'y fishy. The tender of Thoma: Meilish was the lowest. But instead i accepting his tender—instead of notifying him that his tender was the lowest and asking him to come forward and make the neces sary arrangements—one of the other ten derers (R. N. Cox) in some mysterious way learned that Mellish’s tender was the low est, and an emissary of his, a man pamed Rice, approached Mellish and bought him off for $30. He was prepared to prove this. Mellish came to town with this man Rice, the latter bearing a l+tter to the Commis- sioner of Public Works. The $30 was piid to Mr. Mellish in a certain store in the city, and the contract was given to Cox for $1600. Now, the Question is how iid it leak out that Mellish’s tender was the lowest? The information must-have been given by soma one in the Public Works Depart ment.

Hon. Mr. McLean said that no informa- tion had beengiven concerning Mel.ish’s ten- derfrom the Public Works Depart uent,and so faras he himself was concerned he did not even know thst Mellish was in the city to give up the contract.

Mr. Sullivan said that not only was there peculiar work in connection with the Morell Bridge matter, butthere was also strange work in connection with certain other bridges—that at Peakes for instance. He did not think the Public Works Ds partment was being conducted in the best iotereata of the country.

Hon. Mr. McLean said he did not know that there was any wire-pulling gving on outside in connection with the Morell Bridge affair, and stated that Cox had car- ried out his contract in a most satisfactory manner, He thought that Mellish’s tender was much too low for the work.

Mr. Shaw said the Commissioner had practically told the House that he would not accept Mellish’s tender because it was tov low. But what difference did this make if he gave good and sufficient security? Young Kenny had contracted for the Pisquid Ro«d bridge for $26. His tender was the lowest. But instead of accepting it the work was given toa friend of the Government for $50, and $10 was expended for extras. Kenny was told that he could not build the bridge for $26, and $30 more than the amount of his contract was taken out of the public treasury and given to a political fovorite. There were twenty six tenders for the Morell Bridge as follows :

N. Cox. He was bound to get the job. One

of the tenderers, Ll yd Cox, was an infant, and another, William Hogan, was a clerk in Cox’s employ. There were two tenders that were lower than that of Thos. Mellish, viz, those of the infant Cox and Ccx’s clerk. These two, for reasons not yet ex- plained, dropped out and Mellish’s tender was therefore the lowest. Instead of notifying Mellish that his tender was the luwest and was accepted, Cox was given a pointer. Mellish was bought off for $30 avd the tender of R. N. Cox for $1600 was accepted. This was a nice state of affairs. This was how the people's money was saved. The Morell bridge matter was certainly unsavory in the extreme.

Hon. Mr. McLean said he cared as much for the statements of the hon. member as he did for the idle winds, and denied that Rice ever put a foot in his office in his presence or that he knew Miliish was in town to withdraw his contract.

The discussion was continued by Messrs. A. J. Macdonald, A. McLaod and Under- hay, all of whom asked for information from the Commissioner concerning certain public works,

The Speaker then took the chair and certain resolutions were reported agreed to

Mr. Bentley asked the Leader of the Government if it was the intention of the Government to pass an Act repealing the act respecting the election of members of the L gisiatere, in compliance with the resolutions passed at the public meeting of citizens held in the Market Hall on the evening of the 7:h inst.

Hon. Mr. Peters, in reply, said thst in the course of his short parliamentary experience

| he had never heard of repealiug a measure bes

fore it had been passed by the Legislature. It was not the intention of the Governmeat to pass a measure to pevent the bill respecting the election of members of the Legislature from becoming law. The Governimeat believ- ed the boll was right and proper.

The Act amending and regulating practice in the Court of Chancery was read a third time and passed.

Mr. A. C. Macdonald submitted an address to His Honor the Administrator of the Gov ernment thanking him for his various com-

difficulty that they could drag the load |

mun cations and messsges. Adopted. Mr, Bentley reminded the Leader of the

‘Government that the statements asked for

some wecks ago concerning the overdraft at

the banks, and the amounts owing and paid in

the several departments of the public service since the Ist of January last, had not yet been tabled. These statements were very import- ant, and he would like to know when they could get them.

Hon. Mr. Peters said the information would be tabled as soon as it was ready.

Recess.

At the evening session all matters relat- ing to paupers were taken up and disposed of, Mr. Cummiskey occupying the chair in committee.

Mr. Montgomery asked the Ccmmis- ioner of Public Works if he had recsived a ‘etition from Lot 16, asking for a new wharf at that place; also 1f he had received yetitiens from Malp+qus and Lot 14 con- cerning new bridges, and if so, what action was taken.

Hon. Mr. Mcl.340 said the petitions had baen received and would receive the con- sideration of the Government immediately a'ter recess. ce

Mr. Rogers ‘hen resumed the debate on he trade resolution introduced by Hon. Mr. Farquharson, speaking for about chree hours, and supporting his arguments sith facts and figures that could not be con- trovertcd. He p-inted out that the Liberal- Conservative party were always in favor cf » regiprocity treaty with the United States, and referred to the offers made to «hat country by Canada with that end in view. How different is the conduct of the present Liberal party from the conduct of the ‘Liberal party in the days of George Brown and Alexander MacKenzie. Last night they actually blamed the Liberal-Conserv- atives for not having a reciprocity treaty with the United States. He quoted from speeebes by the late George Bruwn and the late Hon. Alexander MacKenzie to show the manner in which they went ab: u- get- ting a treaty, and contrasted their manly conduct with the cringing attitude of the so-called Liberal leaders of the present day. He al:o quoted from speeches made by the Hon. Euward Blake and Sir Richard Cart- wright on the same sutject. He then took up the reciprocity scheme propounded by the Liberal party of to day, and showed how it would discriminate shamefully against Great Britain and in favor of the United States. The Democrats rode into power on the strength of a propcsed read- justment of the tarii%, but owing to the cumbersome legislative machinery of the neighboring Republic they would not be able to to touch the tariff until noxt year— about a year and a h:lf efter they were elected. This was truly a strarge state of affsirs to exist in a country go much Jauded by the Grits. Hethen quoted the prices of beef and pork to show that these articles were sold cheaper in the Northwestern States than in Canada, thus explaining how it was possibie to bring these articles into Canada and compete

with home products. He thought that Mr. McQasen, the farmers’ delegate to whvose report reference

was made last evening, was more of a free trader than a farmers’ delegate. He (Mc- Queen) said that this Province had gone back a great deal, and the farm-houses were inferior and the farmers poor. But was this the case? He thought not. Contrast the condition of the country and the people of the present day with the condition of the country and of the people twenty or twenty- five years ago, andthe marvellous change forthe better that has taken place is at onee apparent. But what had the farmers’ delegate himself done in the face of his talk? Hehad actually bought a farm of upwards of a thousand acres in the north- west! He quoted from recent American papers to show how certain places in the United States were fast going to the dogs and how the people were leaving the country in hordes because of the exhausted condition of the soi] and the poverty-strick- en character of things generally. Do they blame all this on the National Policy ? Here they blame everything on that policy. All the ills that tlesh is heir to are saddled upon it. There is not to-day a paper or a statesmen in the United States that will say we wili get a treaty with the United States without adopting their tariff. They want us to go in with thaem— to do away with our tariff and adopt that of the United Siates—to let the turiff be regulated from Washington. He then dealt with the social condition of some of the larger cities of the Unired Srates, and pointed out the great numbers of tramps, paupers and old soldiers there were in these places as compared with Canada. He also referred to the small number ef people in that country who own houses of their own, and said there was one mortgage for every seven inhabitants. The number of workiug women who were so poorly paid that they had to accept charity was immense. The average psy of unskiiied labor was less than #400, aud there were hundreds of people

who were very often without a tquare meal. And all this existed

in the great market of 65,000,000—the country which the Liberal party worshipped tosuch anextent. Much has been said about the failure to negotiate’ a treaty with the United States, and the Liberal Conservative party are blamed because the troaty was not established. But the Amer- icans practically told our delegates that unless we joined the Union—unless we came under the Stars and Stripes—we cou.d not have Reciprocity. Of course the Canadian delegates could not accept this ulimatum, and the negotiations fell through, No self-respecting nation could accept such a propositiun. He then took up the exodus statements of the Hon. Mr. Farquharson, and pointed to the large numbers who left before the National Policy was inaugurated. There was always a certain exodus and there would always be an exodus—no matter what party was in power—the trend of travel is westward. He also took up the staterients of some of the previous speakers that the consumer was heavily burdened by reason of the high duties on certain articles of general utility, and pointed out that such was not the case. He showed plainly that cluthing,hats, braces, etc., were now made in this country aad that tea and other articles of diet ic gen eral use were imported free of day He thought the National Policy had not increased the burdens of the people, bat had readjusted them; the duty on certaia luxwies haa been put up and the duty on articies in general use vad been lowered. So much for the statements hat the farmer and the poor man were over- burdened with texation a the shape of high duties, When the poor man only got 75 cents « day for his labor he had to pay $9 a barrel for his four; but now when he gets at least $1 per day he gets his flour for $4 per barrel. So much for the way in which the poor man is oppressed, —and for the National Policy. r. Jeukins moved the adjournment of the debate. Carried.
