Lieutenant-Governor Haviland.

Ar neon to-day, in the Council Chamber, the Honorable Thomas Heath ‘Havilan® was sworn in as Lieutenant Governor of this Province, by Mr. Justice Hensley. The ceremony was exceedingly short, con- sisting of the reading of the Commission by the Clerk ef the Ceuncil, and the adminis- tration of the oaths of allegiance and of Lieutenant-Governor. Our Lieut.-Gover- nor did not consider it necessary to follew the precedent of the Governor-General, in taking the ridiculeus ‘‘ Abjuration Oath.” The Commissioner of Public Works was the only member of the Government present, the Attorney-General and Provincial Sec- retary not having yet returned from the Georgetown Court. After the ceremony was concluded, His Honer received the

congratulations of many friends. a

Meat Supplies.

Hon. D. Ferguson, Commissioner of Public Works :

Dear Str,—Be so kind to explain why you ignore my tender to furnish meat to the Lunatic Asylum; and, after receiving two tenders from one meat dealer, finally enter into a private contract with him at figures over my tender, and different from either of his own, or that of any other tender offered.

Plain answers for honest taxpayers please. Evasive equivocations not negotiable.

Yours truly, RosBeRtT BRIDGES.

July 18, 1879.

In reply to the above, we are authorized to state that : the lowest tenders for meat for the Lunatic Asylum, viz., one from Mr. Robert Bridges and another from Messrs. Blake Bros., were not accepted, the fermer, because the Rev. G. W. Hodgson (Secretary and Commissioner of the Poor House), and Dr. Blanchard (Medical Supt. of the Luna- tic Asylum), pronounced the meat supplied last year by Mr. Bridges inferior; and the latter because the offer was to supply meat of same quality as last year. The effer of Blake Bros. & Co. to supply meat of good quality to the Poor House, was ac- cepted for both institutions. As far as the public are concerned there appears to be nothing to complain of, the price being $6.50 per hundred Ibs. or 30 cents per

hundred less than last year. -- -~<be--

The Railway.

Mr. Schreiber’s readjustment has not been very popular with the supporters of the present Government ; and we hope that some change for the better will take place as the result of the Superintendent’s visit to the Island. We believe that Mr. Schreiber does not enquire into the political antecedents of the employees on the rail- road; and those dismissed were not dis-

missel for political reasons. It is said that the Chief Superintend- ent takes no interest in _ politics;

therefore he shouldnot permittheroadto be a refuge for those who have been violent political partizans. The majority of the officials who now hold office were the most active agents of the late Government, and used every means te force the employees under their control to oppose the Party now in power. We cannot see any good reason why Mr. Schreiber should seek togreward these men who have been so obnoxious to the majority ef the people of this country, by fixing them permanently in office. It has been frequently remarked that these officials te whom we aliude, had no other qualifications for the offices they hold than their constant vigilance and active partizan- ship in politics. =— =

Haycan on Liquor and Tosacco. —Writ- ing to an English correspondent who had ask- ed his opinion as te the use of alcohol and to- bacco in atheletic exercises, Hanlan says :— **In my opinion the best physical perform- ances can only be secured through absolute abstinence from their use. This is my rule, and | find after three years’ constant work at the oar that I am better able to contend in a_ greater race than when 1 first commenced. In fact, I believe that the use of liquor and tobacco has a most injurious effect upon the system of an athlete, by irritating the vitals and consequent- ly weakening the system. I eat wholesome food, take regular and moderate exercise, avoid violent exertion, and generally strive to cultivate a cheerful state of mind, in order that sweet sleep may follow my daily work.

The New Canadian Loan. OPINIONS OF THE PRESS.

[Halifax Chronicle..]

The new Canadian four per cent. loan seems to have been successful in London. Ninety per cent. of the amount required has been taken at the fixed price of 95, and the balance on terms not stated

{Toronto Mail. |

We learn by cable from London that the new Canadian four per cent. loan of £3,000, - 000 has been all taken over 95. This is four per cent. higher than any previous loan, and yields half a million dollars more than any previous unguaranteed loan for a like amount. Sir Leonard Tilley is to be congratulated on his success. The efforts of some of our Re- form contemporaries to prejudice his mission have happily failed.

[Halifax Reporter. |

The new loan is an unguaranteed loan for £3,000,000 of sterling bonds, bearing interest at four per cent. and redeemable in 29 years. The object of the loan is to enable the Gov- ernment to make provision for the redemption of about $6,000,000 of bonds, coming due next January; also to pay for the Riviere du Loup Branch, of the Intercolonial, purchased from the Grand Trunk; and for the enlargement of the Welland Canal. By redeeming the 6 per cents. with 4 percent. bonds, the Govern- ment will save one hundred and twenty thousand dollars per annum in interest.

At 95 the loan would have been the best ever negotiated for Canada. At ninety-five, Mr. Tilley would do better than Mr. Cartwright by five per cent.

As a considerable amount of the loan ap- pears to have been obtained at over ninety- tive per cent., it is plain that the new lean issued upon the -principles enunciated by the Liberal Conservatives, when in opposition, and when they were combating with all their force, the line of policy pursued by Mr. Cart- wright, is the completest possible justification of the Liberal Conservative policy, and the strongest possible condemnation of the course pursued by the Grity party in its financial ar- rangements.

It would be curious to work out in detail what from first to last Mr. Cartwright and the Grit financial rule have cost this country, taking the standard of the present loan as a test. The full materials we have not yet got, but, when such a comparison is instituted, it will be made plain that the cost te the coun- try of Grit rule, as compared with that of the Liberal-Conservatives,'is such as to render the Grits far too expensive a luxury for this coun- try to indulge in again for many years to come. By comparing the best of Mr. Cart- wright’s loans with this best one of Mr.! Tilley, the public will see to which body of politicians it is to their interest to commit the public affairs of the country. A fair, square attempt to bring the trade policy of this country into a condition enabling it to with- stand the shocks of an unscrupulous rival— whose main object} has been and is to prevent this country becoming a manufacturing ceun- try—has been accompanied by a close, careful and general system of economy, and has now been followed up by the best loan ever effected for Canada. This is a strong chain of facts tending to bind the Government of the Lib- eral-Conservatives to the popular heart with hoops of steel.

It is clear now that the British capitalists, with the fullest opportunities of studying Canada, are satisfied with the country. They have increasing confidence in Canada. They know her capabilities, and are willing to give her terms equal to those offered to the most favored nations. From all sources these capi- talists have gathered their information about Canada. They understand hor progress bet- ter even than we do ourselves. They know how to separate the transient decadence from the permanent decay. They are not moved by isolated cases of back- wardness or by isolated years of retrogression.

We ourselves, as a people, have great con- fidence in the future of Canada. But we might well take pattern from the even greater confidence which British capitalists (and that after all is the general confidence entertained of Canada by the British public which re-acts upon those who buy our bonds from the capitalists) have in Canadian resources. We predict as consequences springing from this most successful loan :—

Ist. That the people of Canada will have still greater confidence in the future of their country than they have had during the past five years.

2nd. That the National Policy will be re- garded as having given evidence in the early months of its existence of its great value in the way of strengthening our credit abroad. One of its first fruits’ has beenjto convince the British capitalist that Canada knows how to take care of herself.

3rd. That the faith in his country which Mr, Tilley has shown that he and the Govern- ment possess and which led them to strike for the highest figures will be so thoroughly appreciated by the people that both Mr. Tilley and the Government will reap immense benetit therefrom, in the increased confidence given him and them in public opinion.

[St. John Sun.]

We are advised that the four per cent. un- guaranteed Loan for £3,000,000 sterling which Sir Leonard Tilley has just negotiated in Eng- land, has resulted very successfully. If we

'

are not misinformed, the bids for the Loan ex- ceeded the amount asked for by £156,000. The price ranged from 95 to 100, ten per cent. of the whole being placed at the latter figure. There is no reason to doubt that this is the best loan ever negotiated by a Finance Minister of Canada, and is six per cent. better than Sir Richard Cartwright’s last. The result is an admisable com. mentary on the _ hostile expression which have proceeded from English politi- cians, who do not appear to have been able to ifluence English capitalists adversly to Cana- dian interests. We have been told, too, time and again, that so unpepular was the Nation- al Policy of Canada in England, we need never go across the water again to borrow money for eur public works or to meet outstanding lia- bilities. The result of Sir Leonard’s latest negotiation shows how unfounded has been the clamor on this point; for not only have the sharp, shrewd monied men of England again bought our bonds, but they have paid higher for them since the National! Policy has been enforced than at any other date since the Provinces were united. So another Grit pre- cee goes = = a and another heavy charge against the National Poli i

CIVIC.

To the Editor of the Examiner. S1r.—I noticed in a recent number of your Datty, that the people are, indeed, waking up to the fact that, while heavily taxed, we are now without the ordinary improvements of former years, on repairs to the streets, and cleaning of the gutters. When our taxes were much less, we had those matters attend- ed to; and, I think, your correspondent * Citi- zen” has hit upon the head; because the taxes are all eaten up in the salaries of officials. He is also right that, in years gone by, the first three Mayors attended to the business of the City, including the Courts, for about $1,000 a year, besides the cost of the Police Force, viz., Mayor, Recorder, and Clerk. Now we have to pay that sum to one man, forsooth, because he is a limb off the Law, and can turn off his red-tape ideas. But is the business of the

Courts better attended to than formerly ? Few, I imagine, will be found who will say _ 80. But your

correspondent suggested a change in the Courts, which cannot take place without an Act of the Leyislature, but his suggestion is a matter of consideration. By the hot haste of a few citizens in the time of Mayor Rankin, in rushing tothe Legislature with a petition; and, by the want of common prudence on the part of the members of the Legislature, $1,000

lawyer only a few years—I would almost say months--let loose from his ‘‘ mother’s apron- strings”; and, forsooth, he is enabled to practise his profession at the same time—a thing unknown in any other country or Prov ince.

But, Mr. Editor, has the City Council not power to remedy this evil? They can regu- late his salary and cut it down, to suit the times. At present one-third of the amount that he draws out of the citizens’ pockets would pay a much better man for‘doing his work ; and, remember, he need not be a lawyer—nor neither is a lawyer required. The Recorder is bound to supply all the legal knowledge, and can be consulted on all occa- sions. Indeed, I think the Corporation Aet Pretiee that he should sit in the Police Court.

f Ihave aot made myself understood in this matter, you may hear from me again.

Yours, truly, ANOTHER CITIZEN.
