THE SINKING FUND FRAUD. Worcesrer clearly defines “ sinking fund” as “ the egyregate of sume cf mocey eet apart acd invested, usually at fixed intervals, for the extinguishmeni of a debt of a goveroment or of a corporas tion by the accumulation of interest.” This Province has @ heavy debt —ac- cumulated forthe most part by a Gov- ernment pledged to the people to accumu late no debt—and been

many debentures have istucd. deeming the we quote the act which provides for the construction of a new wing to the Hospital for the Insane—“ it shall be the duty of the Government of Prince Edward Ieland, in every vear, to set aparta sum equal to one and a half per cent. on the amount of the debentures actually isened, which sum shall be invested as a sinking fund to be used for the redemption of said debentures, and fer no other purpose.”

Section 7 of the Act 55 Vic. Cap. 1, which authorizes the issuing of $185,- 000 debentures, reads as follows: “ It sha}l be the duty of the Government at every session of the Legislature of Prince Edward Island, to lay before the House a statement showing the amount of the sinking fund, and the investments repre- eenting the same.”

It is evident that the debt cannot po3- sibly be extinguished by means of a eink- ing fucd unless the terms of the law are strictly adhered to, and that both the debenture holders and the public must be deceived if they are not adhered to; for the public supposes that the debt is gradually being extinguished, and the debenture holders loaned the Province their money On the assurance of a Provincial Statute that a“siunking fuud *? would be previded

“Fer the purpose of re-

said debentures,’ —

' oat of which they should be repaid,

The failure of the Government to com - ply with the terme of the Statute is clearly a breach of faith with the public anda breach of fait hwith the debenture holders» as wellas a breach of duty under the law,

Now, what shall be said of a Govern- ment which pretends to have a sinking fund, ard bas none?

In the report of the Provincial Auditor

we see a statement headed in large lettere— * DEBENTURE SINKING FUND

ACCOUNT.” and this account is credited with certain sume, presumably in terms of the statute. But, upon being pressed for a definite ex-, planation concerning the moneys invested and where the euditor says:

“The sum of $11,930.30 shown bv the Auditor’s report under the head of deben- tures sipkiog fund is in the Merchan:’s Bank of Halifax on call.

“The sum of $4,538 87, under the head ef funds held in trust, ie in the Merchar t’s Bank of Halifax on call.”

And when the enquiry is carried a liitle further it appears that the Government have no money at the bank “ on ca!!,” except that which they may borrow from time to time, and thatthe Debenture Sinking Fund accountisa fraud. The Provincial debt is not gradually being ree duced as that account shows ; the deben- ture holders bave no security in a ‘‘sink- ing fund” es that account would lead them to suppose,

Moreover, the Public Accounte made up at the end of 1899 and presented tothe public late in the month of May, areall wrong. The public debt is $15,- 569.17 larger than the accounts show it to be. That i- to say,—apart from the unpaid contract, and the unpaid amount earned by the teachers at the end of the year,—ivstead of being $500,688.00 it was $516,256.03.

Isa government guilty of an act of this kind to be countenanced and supported by honest men ?

NOTES AND COMMENTS.

as

—it is suggested thatthe person who broke open Mr. Birch’s desk on Wednes- day evening was looking for the missing sinking funde,

—It is notable that at the head of each class of Prince of Wals etnudents, thig year, stands a girl! Boys, this won't do,

— Today we were shown a purse by Mr. S. F. Hodgson sent him from South Africa by Sergeant Lorne Stewart. It is a puree of the old fashioned type, smells strongly of Boer tobacco, and contains wo Ove-petiny postage stamps,a small blue hair ribbon and a fishing line. Lorne writes that he commandeered it out of a Boer commandant’s trunk after the capture of Cronje at Paardeberg. Mr. Hodgson is justly proud in bemg the possessor Of 60 unique a memento of an event which brings to Canada so much giory and which is destined to shed much lustre upon her future history. Lorne’s

letter is one of much interest, but he re- quests thatit ke not published.

OPINEAU ASKED TO RESIGN.

He Gets a Scorcher from the Men Whom he Has Betrayed.

A remoastrance and petition signed by between four aud five hundred of the electors of the First District of Prince County has been presented to Henry J, Vinesu, upbraiding him with his betrayal of trust and asking him to resign his seat in the Legislature forthwith. The docac ment reads *

To Mr. Henry J. Pineau, M. L.A:

Sin,—The undersigned French aad other Conservative electors of the First District of Prince County, believing you to be a man whom they could trust ag tneir representative in the Local Legisla- ture of this Province, have recorded their vote in our behalf on the 19th July last

at least, by your vote, in the hail of our Legislature, to rid the country of the pres sent Fargubareon Governwent, They are pained io see that you have betrayed the trust reposed in you and that-you supporta Geverament which you have pledged yourself to oppose and that you are the eole cause of the present mal- administration of the affairs of the country being continued. You have, since you tock your seat in the Legiclature, been serviog the interests of those who did their utmost tocrush you when you appealed to the electors of this district. You have proven false to those who wero instrumen- tal in promoting you to the position you now occupy. You have forfeited their confidence and consequently you cannot be considered 48 @ representative of the pubs lic, neither that of the Liberals who voted Sgainst you por that of the Conservatives whom you have betrayed.

There remains nothing for you todo now but resign the mandate which you bold and we hore thst there is atill enough manliness in you to come to that dete:mi- nation. By sodoing you will, to a cers: tain extent, redeem your persunal repuia tion and comply with our earnest wishes- and hopes.

P. E.I. HOSPITAL.

——

Annual Meeting He!d Last Evening.

chair gt the annual meeting of contribu- tors to the P. E. Island Hospital, held last evening.

The reports were generaliy satisfactory. Great ixterest bas been shown in the new hospital * building (particularly by the ladies) and the institation is now highly creditable to the Province.

The reports show that there was ex: pended last year on building account $17,862.27, and that the receints on this account amounted to $17,602.46,—leaving an overdraft at the Bank of $259.81.

On furnishing account there was ex- pended $5,231.14, and received $3,794 28 leaviog a balance in hand of $563.14.

Mr. A. B. McKenzie was re-elected to the Board of Trustees, and Mr. W. A. O. Morson wae elected to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of Judge Fitz- gerald.

After some discussion, it was decided to suggest to the trustees the advisability of permitting the institution to be open to visitors two days in each week, one of theee days to bea market day. »

—— <a

— The Militia Department are in receipt of a letter addressed to the Imperial War Office by a gentleman in the Northwest suggesting that all the Maueer rifles taken in tbe warin South Africa be sent to Canada for the purpose of arming mount- ed infantry corps to be raised in Manitoba andthe Northwest territories. In sends ing this letter to the Militia Department, ihe Imperial] War Office accompany it by a letter stating that Lord Lansdowne is not in favor of the suggestion, as the in- troduction of the Maueer into Canada would entail the making of Mauser am- munition at the Canadian factory, thus introducing! new patterns.
