Mr. Irwine, who had been a regular correspondent, telling him ell the news about the old places and people, had sent him word nearly three months ago that Adam Bede was not to marry Mary Burge, as he had thought, but pretty Hetty Sorrel. Martin Poyser «nd Adam himself had- both told Mr. Irwine all about it—that Adam had been deeply in love with Hetiy these two years, and that now it was agreed ‘they were to be married in March. \The stalwart rogue Adam was more! susceptible than the Rector had thought; ‘it was really quite an idyllic love-aflair; ‘and if it had not been too long to tell ina letter, he would have liked to deseribe to ‘Arthur the blushing looks and the simple, istrong words with which the fine, honest ‘fellow told his secret.

BLUE RUIN.

The Opposition and their organ have been proclaiming that the Province is on the brink of ruin. He (Mr. F.) had locked over the estimates of the Opposition for some years past, respecting the indebtedness of the Government, and he would read them to the House : *

Hon. members were aware that he (Mr. F.) had to arrive at these figures by ap- proximation, for it was well known that no two members of the Opposition used the same figures when talking of the amount the Province was in debt in any year. Sometimes we find that their figureg fora particular year vary all the way from $15,- If these deficits had occurred ; if the statements of the Opposi- tion were to be relied on, the Government would now be over $400,000 in debt.

ness now, and, if he liked, Arthur would put some mouey into the concern, and buy the old man out ina year or two. That was an ugly fault in Arthur’s life, that affair last summer; but the future should make amends,

(To be continued.)

There is no better way to show how unre-,

making ihat year’s expenditure greater by that amount, and in that particular the calculation is unfair to the present Government. Without allowing for this amount, which the present administration are not responsible for spending, we find that during the six years the present Government have been in power they have expended $661,558.50 less than was expend- ed by their predecessors during a similar period of six years. In other words, for the last six years, over $110,000 a year has been saved to the Province ! !

Mr. Sincrair said the hon. gentlemay's argument had no force, as a Conservative Government had been in power during pait of the first period.

Hon. Mr. Ferccson—It did nol matter what party was in power during the first

period, the comparison was equally favorable to the present Government. When the Owen Government were in

power there was money in the banks to the credit of the Province, and a demand was made by the people, that, as they were only receiving 4 per cent. for this money it should be put in circulation by building public works of utility. That excuse can- not be urged in favor of the Davies Gov- ernment. Mr. Davies declared that the affairs of the Province were in a very bad state, and that it was necessary to reseurt te heavy direct taxation. He, (Mr. F.) did not use these figures to reflect on preceding Governments, but to defend the present administration and to show that they had spent $110,000 per annum less than their predecessors.

INCREASED PROVISION FOR EDUCATION,

The present Government are not respon- sible for passing the Education Act, but that Act has resulted in greatly increased expenditure. The foliowing statement shows what had been spent for education during the past twelve years, divided as be fore, into two periods of six years each |

Showing an expenditare of $199,125.85 during the six years the present Govern- ment had been in power over what was expended for this service during a similar period by their predecessors. In comparing the expenditure of these two periods, you have to add this amount of $199,125.85 to the $661,558.50 of reduced expenditure, as it is an increase of expenditure the present administration are not responsible for.

LUNATIC ASYLUM,

The hon. member for West River took credit to the late Government for building the Asylum. The present Government are pot responsible for the excessive cost of that building, although they had to provide about $55,000 of the cost. The size of the building, andthe expensive nature of i's maintenance, were due entirely to the late Government. The following statement will show the expenditure for maintenance of the Asylum during the two periods as before :
