Retrenchment.

Tue Government at Ottawa is doing its utmost to carry out the pledges made to the people in regard to retrenchment. The Civil Service is undergoing a great change, for the purpose of effecting the economy so necessary after five years of Grit extrava- gance. It was found, by the present Ad- ministration, that many officials were re- tained in office for no other purpose than to uphold Grit rule by their activity at Dominion, and their partizan interference in Local elections. In the latter case the object being to maintain a unison between the Provincial Governments and the Gen- eral Government, under the leadership of Mr. McKenzie. The Government under Sir John has manifested a sincere desire for retrenchment, by displacing men of the stamp alluded to, and retaining only those that are absolutely necessary for the perfor- mance of the duties of the public service. The effect of this spirit of economy is not con- fined to any one Province. We find the Civil Service everywhere is being subjected to changes which will ensure its mainten- ance on 2 less burdensome scale to the tax- payers thanformerly. Along the line of the Intercoloniol Railway many men have been dismissed, either for incompetency or that their labor can be performed by some other officials already in the service. This amalgamation of offices must result in a great saving to the country, and will, no doubt, place the Finance Minister in a better position to meet the deficit of the late Government than the continuation of extravagant expenditure which character- ized that party while in power. When Mr. Tilley assumed office he found the Treasury nearly depleted, with a debt fast maturing | in England of $15,000,000, and something like $3,000,000 due to contractors and Provincial Governments. To save the Credit ef the Dominion and meet all her liabilities, a policy of rigorous economy has been introduced, and will, no doubt, be successfully carried out. The heads of de- partments have been busily engaged in re- constructing and adjusting the offices unde,, them. No Minister has been more indus- trious and careful in making readjustments for the saving of public money, consistent with the efficiency of the service required in his department, than the Hon. J. C. Pope. , In connection with immigration, the policy of the Government is entirely differ- ent from that of Mr. McKenzie. It was found that the large yearly expenditure of public money was barren of any good re- sults. During the last five years nearly $1,200,000 have been spent for the main- tenance of Agencies and the salaries of Agents in connection with immigration,

and it is belioved the Dominion has profited |

but little by this expenditure. Many worthless and improvident peopie have had their sxpenses paid to this country as emi- grant: from cities and towns in Great Britaia, and have been a curse to many of the cities of Canada. Nine agents have been recalled from Europe by the Minister of Agriculture, and the whole system of Immi- gration has undergone a change which must result beneficially to the Dominion. Means to encourage a better class of emi- grants from Great Britain have been adopted, a class whose antecedents will be carefully inquired into before’ Government assistance will be granted. But while we cannot be too profuse in our praise of the Govefnment in its policy of ret»enchment, we hope too much power will nut ‘> placed in the hands of Railroad Superint... tents, whose over anxiety to save the public money will destroy the efficiency of that portion of the service placed under their supervision We think the measures adopted by Mr. Schreiber, with regard to the Island road, are too extreme, and hone to see a further readjustment of offices, which will secure to the travelling public and those who pat- ronize the railroad, satisfactory service. te

PROVINGIAL LEGISLATURE.

HOUSE OF ASSEMBLY.

Sarurpay, May 31. Forenoon Session.

Mr. Ricuarps was astonished at the reso- lution before the House. He was more astonished atthe position taken by the hon. member for Rustico, That hon. mem- ber was very indignant last session that the towns were not taxed ; but it seemed that this year he was content with a mere ipromise. The Government might not be in existence next year, and the hon. member had really no guarantee that his policy of taxing the towns would be carried out.

Mr. Benriey was glad that the Govern- ment had taken the first step towards doing justice to the country by levying assessment on town and country alike. He thought if the people of Charlottetown wished to keep up sidewalks, parks, etc., they should pay for them out of their own pocket. He would like to see the towns taxed, and at the same time would not object to the city getting a share of the money for public works that were a benefit to the public at large ; but saw no reason why the country should keep up the police or pay the gas bills. é

Mr. DeBiors complimented the hon. members for Kensington and Rustico for the very moderate way in which they treat- ed this subject. If other hon. members teok such sensible views, he had no doubt the city would be fairly dealt with.

Mr. SHaw said that this was a very im- portant subject; but, as there were other subjects ef greater importance beforg the country at the time of the election, he had not heard it discussed at that time. He thought it would be very unfortunate to cause any dissensions or jealousies to exist between the people of the town and the country. He thonght that the country had some cause of complaint that the city was not taxed, especially now, as the appropri- ations for roads were much reduced, and the peeple were taxed to keep the roads in repair. However, he thought it would be better to let the matter lay over until next year, when some scheme could be intro- duced that would bear justly on all parties. Mr. McMuzan spoke strongly in favour of exempting the towns; and said there could be no sincerity in the hon. members who sat here for five weeks and never said a word on this subject until the session was about oyer.

House adjourned till 3 o’clock on Mon- day. Ex-Mayor Beaudry and the County Orange Master. Mr. Davin Grant, County Master of the Orange Order of Quebec, has sued ex- Mayor Beaudry of Montreal, to recover $10,000 damages, on account of an alleged false arrest on the 12th of July last. The principal points in the ex-Mayor’s defence are :— ' That whatever the motives of the founders of the Orange Society were, two centuries ago, it had since become dangerous and subversive of public order, so opposed to the true pre- cepts of Christian charity, that it provoked the intervention of the Imperial Parliament and Provincial Legislatures, which have be- lieved it their duties to enact laws imposing severe penalties against its members ; That its doings have produced in the coun- try a spirit of defiance such that public bodies, notably the Legislature of Ontario, refused to give it legal sanction ; That said Loyal Orange Association is a coalition or illegal league, and consequently, according to the laws of the Province, pro- hibited ; That plaintiff, at the time of arrest, was a member of this illegal society ; That said association having announced its intention to parade on the 12th July, a meeting of Magistrates was held on the 5th of July to take the necessary measures to maintain order, and said Magistrates adopt- ed resolutions that in their opinion it was incumbent upon the Civic authorities to take all means in their disposition to main- tain order, it was thought desirable for the Mayor to issue a proclamation to prohibit any assembly or gathering on that day ; That in violation of that proclamation, the Orange Association assembled to walk in precession in the streets, while the ex- citement and terror of its eitizens were at their height, and that the plaintiff, decked with the insignia of said association, and being in the act of organizing said parade, was apprehended by authorities in virtue of legal and regular proceeding ; That the defendant is in no way respon- sible for the arrest of the plaintiff, etc.

Manitoba's Local Government.

-~

A dispatch from Winnipeg says : “‘In the Local Legislature, Friday, the Premier, Mr. Norquay, announced the resignation of Mr. Royal, Minister of Public Works, which has been accepted. Full explana- tions were deferred. It appears that the French members, nine in number, are all supporters of the ministry, expressed con- siderable dissatisfaction because the Gov- ernment had not the support of the ma- jority of the English members. Mr. Nor

quay demanded the resignation of Hon. Mr. Royal, whose French colleague, the hon. Mr. Delorme, also resigned. The English members immediately combined to support the present Government, which will be re- constructed ; after its conclusion the French party, under the new state of affairs, will be left unrepresented in the Cabinet. Great changes are looked for, in consequence of the altered state of affairs, both in the per- sonnel of the Government and the nature of the legislation. Itis regarded as not im- probable that the parties will be divided by nationality. The English are largely in the majority, holding 15 out of the 24 seats.

They were saved by the prompt action of Dr. Wood, whose family were among the victims. An analysis is being made of the yeast and meal, but it is supposed the negro servant put tartar emetic in the bread. The brig ‘‘ Evan Johnson,” from Mira- goane, reports that Capt.
