—With May day comes the genial spring —the time for a general cleaning up on the part of householders, preparatory to the adveat of the heated term. The time- honored institution of house cleaning is nuw in or ler, and itis neediess to say 13 being Vigorou ly attended to by the ‘*better haif”’ of the household. We have no fear about its being overlocked. But we want to say that house-cleaning is only a perform- ance of one-half the duties resting upon householders at this season of the year. The cleaning of yards and all the premises connected with the dwelling is of equal, if net greater importance, and this work is oftentimes overlooked or neglected. It must not be reg»la:ed this year. Every itizen owes a duty to himself, his fsmily and his neighbors, to have his premises thoruughly cleansed, outside as vell as inside, before the warm weather sets in. ‘The scavenger’s services are now in order, and during the present month the rumble of his night-cart shoald be heard everywhere. While the sanitary officer is ill, someone should be appointed to perform his duties, which are of the utmost import- anc at this season of the year. Yards and waterclosets must be-cleaned; dead dogs and cats no longer be suffered to remain on the streets ; and pigs must be banished from the city for their summer vacation, The law which forbids their presence in the city trom May ti!l October, is now in full force, and the public will require the sanitary officer to do his duty with respect to this law. We sound the advance note of warn- ing, so that allconcerned may have notice, and govern themselves accordingly.

~Yesterday afternoon and Jast evening, again, the Hon. Donald Ferguson was the object of the Opposition’s concentrated fire. Mr. Ferguson defended himself so success- fully— his statements were so clear, full, frank, and convincing—that one the spectators was heard to say that he was able forthe whole of them. One of the features of the discussion which did not escape notice was the activity displayed by Mr. Sutherland in supplying Mr. Peters

of

and others of the Opposition’ with munitions of war. Mr. Sutherland was busily engaged in making the

balls which were fired at Mr. Ferguson. Peters and Davies were pitted against Mr. Ferguson while the fight went on in the county. Peters and Sutherland lead the vein of the attacking furce which assail; him in the Honse. It will be admitted that neither in the House nor the country have the Opposition rated the ability of Mr, Ferguson by a low standard. Peters and Davies are admittedly special pleaders of a high order; and Peters and Sutherland, and Farqubarsen and Bell make up (in uumbers at least), a heavy foree to bring to bear avainst a man. But, as Shakes- peare says, ‘* Thrice is he armed who hath his quarrel just.” I: was pleasing to hear the Elon.

Speech of Hou, Mr. MeLeod.

A REVIEW OF OUR FINANCIAL |

SITUATION.

( Contin ned, )

It now becomes my duty to "uake a few remarks on the Estimates the table of the House. These Estimates have been in the hands of hon. members for some days, and no doubt all have made them- selves familiar with the proposed expendi- tures for the current year. The estimates ‘are a little larger than those of last year, and amount to $278,272. The expenditure for the first department of the public ser- vice, vz, the Admistration of J ustice, 1s put down at $20,057. One item of that estimate bas been increased, viz., Fees and D sbursements in the Supreme Court, from $4,000 last year to 5,000 this year. This

xtoacostly trial, nuw proceeding, the prosecution in connection with which has caused considerable expenditure. T

va

is oOwlng

ihe item for Crown Pro ecutious in Magistrate’s courts has, also, been increased to the ex- tent of $100, on account of a more than ordinarily lengthy case which has been be- fore the courts. Such a case may not occur again for a long time to come. Owing to the provision made last session, the chief clerks of the County Courts were dispensed with during the last half of the past year; con- sequently, only half a year’s salary for each ofticial was saved. The saving this year

will commence with the Ist of January; therefore, the estimate for salaries of County Court clerks is still less

than that of last year. The sum set down for Coroner's inquests last year was found to be too small, and has, consequently, been increased by $100, making $20U im all, The estimate for Executive Council is $500, which is the same as that for last year. The sum of $5,000 is put down for elections, The estimata for education for this year is $108,000. This item includes the sum of $400 as salary for half a year of an additional professor for Prince of Wales College. The ditliculty with which the Government have had to contend, was that they required a man qualified to give

agricultural in-truction, as wellas to take charge of aclass in the Cvuilege But we

now have an offer from a very efficient man, a graduate of McGill University, and who has also attended the Agricu'tural Institu- tion at Guelph, Oatario. This gentleman wili be able ty teach the higher branches of Prinee of Wales College, and give lec- tures and lessons in agriculture as well. Salaries to district teachers are set down at

$99,000, and buenuses to same at $2,000. We now come t» exhibitions. Hon. mem-

bers are aware that we entered a ceatract, last year, with the Driving Park and Exhi- bition Association for the future manage- ment of Provincial Exhibitions, for a period of five years. The old grant was only $1,000, and we agreed to give the Com- pany $1,000 more on condition that they would expend $1,000 in prizes. This will, no doubt, be a great incentive to farmers to further improvementin the quality of

their stock, and will prove au induce- ment to them to enter in- to competition at these exhibitions.

There is po doubt that the Provincial Ex- hibition, under the new management, will attract agriculturists from ali parts of the -rovinee. The vote last year to County Exhibitions was only $600 ; but we propose to increase that amount to $1000, on con- dition that the County raises $200. Of course any Assorixtion that may take this matter in hand will have to give the Gov- ernment some guarantee that their portion will be raised and expended for exhibition purposes, before receiving the additional subsidy. The Government believe in encouraging agriculture as much as possible, and have therefore dealt as lberaliy as possible with that matter. For the con- svlidation of the laws we propose to vote the sum of $4000. This is « new item, the accounts fer which are not yet adjusted, but we believe the amount now asked for will cover it. We propose to increase the grant to the Institution for the Blind at Halifax, N. S., to the extent of $50, as it has been brought to our notice that we have not been — contributing cur fair share for the instruction of the blind from this Province in attendance there. Another item, under the head of Unforseen, has been increased,—the vete last year being $1,000, and this year $4,000. This sum is expected to cover the cost of the Commission appointed to investigate and report on the affairs of the Land Office. We now come to the items of expenduure tor the Department of Public Works. The vote for the steamers Elfin and Southport was very large last year on account of costly repairs which have been made on both boats. ‘This year, extensive repairs have been made on the E/“fin, which has been provided with anew deck and a new con- denser, and is now, therefore, a compara- tively new boat. A grant, equal to that of last year, is proposed for the repairs re- quired on Government House, viz, $300. Lam afraid we shall not be able to make many repairs on that building with that small sum; but we dv not propose to ex- pend much money upon it at present. The present incumbent of the office of Lieu- tenant Governor Coes not at present reside in the building, and if he will not live there during the summer, there will, of course, be no repairs, The grant proposed for

ferry slips and piers, this year, is $7,000, against $3,000 voted last year. This is in pursuance of our

policy to keep in repair certain whar:es, pending the settlement of the dispute with the Dominion Government respecting them. Some of the old wharves are going di wi aleogether; but not many of those wharve:s which are really much used, require much repair. Our policy is to maintain the structures which still exist. Macaulay's Wharf, in Belfast, is one of those struc- tures, and there are others that I might nawe, in other sections of the Province. We «assume that wherever a wharf has really been of great utility to the people residing in its vicinity, they have nor per- initted it to go down, For roads, culverts and small bridges, the vote last year was $17,000; this is now increased to $18,00°, The item for fuel, light and repairs, for

Provincial Building has been increased by

‘of printing the Consolidated Statutes, $1,500 is put down under tie head of Mis- cellaneous. The total amount of the esti-

‘mated expenditure for the year is $278,272.

That is a large sum, and ways and means

must be found wherewith — to

out

iIneet It latter prepare an expendilure is not always sv easy to provide @ revenue to cover it. Owing to the with- drawal from our capital at Ottawa of the sum of $200,000 during the past year, our subsidy this year will not be quite so large as previously, As subsidy from the Do- minion Government we expect to receive the sum of $183,519.87. From the Public Lands Office we received, last year, only $27,539.20 ; but that was an exceptionally pvor year, our crops being far below the average. The disturbance in the Land Ottice, also, conduced to a heavy shortage in the receipts from the sale of lands. Heavy ‘charges were made by the Opposi- tion and their press against the Govern- ment on account of the defalcations which took place in that oflive ; but the investiga- tion which has been held and the report made by the Commissioners appointed tor that purpose, have completely exonerated the head of the Public Lands Department, the clerks in the oftice and the late Mr. McKinlay from all blame, and have proved that the Jate Robert A. Strong was the guilty party. During the present year we expect to have better crops and no defal- cations, and that the recetpts from the Land Office will be, at least, $35,000. During the year 1839, we ceived from that source no more than would pay the interest on the money due the public treasury. From the Provincial- Secretary's oflice, we shall probably receive $1100, and from the Prothonotary’s office $2,000. The estimate of receipts from the oftice of the Registar of Deeds is $6,000. The fees from that office have been sweil- ing up during the past few years, and it is probable that during the present year they will exceed the sum named, Other estt- mates of receiptsare as fo.lows: County Courts $1700; Hospital for the Insane, $1600; Prince of Wales Coliege, $200; Pri-

vate Bilis, $100; Pedlars’ Licenses. $900; Fines and Pewalties, $200; Vendors Li-

censes, $280; Ferries (Southport, West River and Rocky Peint) $5,000; Miscel-

ianeous, $200; total, $237,799.86. Deduct- ing this sum from the estimated expendi-

ture we have a shortage of $40,472.14. We propose tu meet this balance with a certain sum of money which we expect to receive from the Dominion Government. You are aware that we announced it as part of our policy, before the late election, that we would use every possible effort to collect the amounts due this Pro- vince, before resorting to direct taxation. That policy we intend te carry vut, and with that end in view a delegation visited Oitawa to press our claims upun the Federal Government. We believe that we have been successful, and that this Province is entitled to receive a considerable addition to its subsidy. Ithink itis due to the farmers of this Province that no heavy taxes should be levied until our account with the Dominion, respecting existing claims, has been settled. We entertain very good hopes that we shall be successful in our present application. We have several good elaims against the Dominion Government, and if we receive justice with respect tu them, it willle many years before we shall have to resort to direct taxation. Our predecessors re- sorted to taxation when they might have collected the sum of $100,000 from the Federal Government on account of debts then due us from that source. When this Province entered Confederation, the Do- minion Government entered into a solemn compact with us that they would maintain continuous steam communication, winter and summer, between this Island and the mainland. This agreement has never been fulfilled. (To be Continuet.)

Danville and Charlottetown.

CoNSIDERABLE commotion has recently been caused in the city of Danville, in the State of Illinois, on account of the Grand Jury of the county finding indictments against upwards of two hundred citizens of ‘hat place for gambling and whiskey drinking. In both places itis unlawful to sell liquer, but in both places liquor is sold. = A shurt time ago two or three prominent citizens of Danville canvassed the city for the pur- dose of raising funds to enforce the Prohi- tory Law. They received great financial support from the citizens, and soon secured suflicient funds. Two detectives from an- other city were then engaged to ferret out the illicit places and secure evidence to convict the violaters of the law. The de- tectives entered upon their work in the guise of patent medicine men, and in a very short time were on the most intimate terms with the druggists and others engaged in the business. in the shops they met many good citizens of the town, who were iu the babit of calling in for the purpose of having a glass of whiskey over a quiet game of poker. The detectives were at work three weeks. The Gra:d Jury met; the detec- tives appeared before it with the result of their observations ; and upwards of two huudred citizeus have been presented for being frequenters of the saloons and drug shops. ‘The list includes many of the most prominent citizens and church members, quite anumber of total prvbhibitionists, while nearly all of the culprits are subserib- ers to the fund raised for the purpose of putting down the traflic! Upon this state of facts it is not surprising that the action of the Grand Jury has created a furore in Danville society. 1t is apparent that the good people of this western city are exactly of the same class of people as their eastern brethren. In both Danvilie and Charlottetown the majority of the votes were cast against the sale of strong drink, and in both plices the voters appear to have finished their duty at the polls. The result is also the same. The !aw not having the moral support of a majority of the commun- ity has been treated in Danville exactly as it has been here. Spasmodic efforts have

been made here just before an election to enforce the law. Similar efforts are now being made in Danville. A_ corres-

pondent of THe Examiner who cannot be accused of Deing conuected with the liquor dealers in any way, who, ou the contraiy, inmay be fairly said to be clusely allied with the temperance cause, has, over his own signature, charged the promoters of the Scott Act with being the cause of the present state of affsirs in Charlottetown, and has further charged them with having |*publicly and ostensibly” been in favor
