Tho co tinuance by Mr. Peters of the policy of ** drift and deficit ” in respect to the finances of the Province, was 4 surprise to many persons. THe EXamIner has, year afteryear, for wany years, directed attention to the ruinous tendency of this policy. It is now condewned by all sensible and honest met. Public opinion is emphatic- ally against it. Ino view of this fact, the Guardian was, previous to the meeting of the Legislature, inspiced to publish « series of articles taxation. It was, conse- quently, inferred by many persons that a change was to be elfucted. But Mr. Pre- mier Peters decided to go in the old way until after the next election. The exigen- cies of Party Politica are move intluential than considerations as to the public good. It is absolutely certain that there will be another large deficit. Yet the Guardian has not had anything remarkable to say against the Government. [tis now as mild and limp concerning taxation as it hss been concerning the mortgage vote, the ‘‘gerry. mander,” ‘‘the disfranchisement,’’ ‘the two-thirds clause,” etc. This fact illus- trates quite forcibly the indepeudence of our vaunted “* Independent Journalism.”

In connection with the policy of ** drift and deficit” there has been a deliberate and persistent suppression of important facts. A few returns were made towards the end of the session. But it was found impossible to wring from the Government statements of the amount of indebtedness ‘* carried over” from last year, the amouat allowed a: discounte in the Land Office, and many others, more or less important, for which they had bsen asked and pressed by the Opposition. It is a singular fact, too, that the few statementa which have been brought down do not at all tally with the reports of the heads of departments. There are wide

tic Works, and reviewed at length the Iste report cf the Commissioners of the Guv- ernment Steck Farm. The experiments made at great expense last year, were, he said, practically worthless, because the re- suits had not been published and im- parted to our farraers.

The Leader of che Opposition contended hat the report of the Stock Farm Com- missioners, with the results of the experi- ments ought to have been published in pamphlet torm. The Directors of the Dairy Station at New Perth were to be com- mended for having published their report, containing information of the greatest interest and importance to farmers. But the Government are to be blamed for not having published the results of the experi- made on the Stock Farm three The importation of an old

would be eight calves by the bull Challenge. He believed that if but two bull calves were obtained of his strain the Province would be repatd the outlay of money inci- | dent to his importation; but hoped for | better results in the present season than in the past. He repudiated the statement that the bull Chiettain recently deceased was diseased. The post mortem examina- tion of the Veterinary Surgeon proved that he was healthy and that his death was due to undigested grain in his stomach.

Dr. Jenkins lamented the fact that the m inagement of the Govern- ment Stock Farm had become political. In former times, when he and the late Judge Peters were commissioners, it was uot so, and there was little or no dissatis- faction in connection with the farm. He thought the Commission should be made up ot men of both parties. The farm should, he thought, be made less a atock farm and more an experimental farm. The experiments might, he thought, be carried further than they have been and might include tests as to broadcast or drill seed- ing and dibbling. The sheep should, in his opinion ali be sold off the farm, and instead say a hundred ram lambs of the best quality shovld be purchased by the Government and distributed throughout ' the Province for the use of farmers. Most of the cattle might also be sold and bulls of the best breeds purchased and placed with- in reach of farmers all over the country. He regarded sheepas the back-bone of farming in this Province, and thought that special attention should be paid to their breeding, in view ot the early prospect of a free market in the United States. It weuld be wellif the commissioners obtained a bone will and made bone meal. They might a'so grow quantities of flax and express the

from the seed and feed he refase to young animals on the firm, In respect to horses he thought that the Government should import a Hackney stallion. These horses are fashionable both in Kingland an? the United States—and we ought to breed to the fashion. In conclusion, Dr. Jenkins psid tribute to the faithfulness and honesty of Mr. Bell,—late manager of the Stock Farm —and deciared that the belittling of that gentleman by the Chairman of the Hoard of Stock Farm Commissioners was shameful.

Messrs. Underhay and Shaw continned the discussion. Mr. Shaw asked if it were true that Mr. Swan were dismissed from the Stock Farm, but obtained no rep'y.

After recess, House met at 8.30 and re- sumed committee on the report of the Pub- lic Accounts Committee.

The Opposition criticised the varicus parrgraphs of the report and pointed out certaia inaccurate and irrelevant statements contained therein. Mr. Bantley moved several amendments to the report, which were ruled out of order.

Mr. Shaw objected to the atatement in the report to the effect that the indebted- ness of the Province at the end of the year 1891 was $154,23699. He thought the amount the Province lost by the sale of debentures should have been placed in the report. These debentures were sold at a discount of 4 per cent., while the eity de- bentures sold at4 per cent. premium ; and et the very time our debentures sold at a loss of 4 per cent., the waterworks de- bentures were sold at par. He charged the Government with not properly advertising their debentures, and claimed that by the bungling and gross mismanagement of the present administration, they had lost to the country some 4. p. c. on each dollar of debentures floated for all time to come. During the two years that the present Government have been in power they have rolled up a debt of $206,474 93 Mr. H. C. Macdonald said that if the hon. member could not understand the accounts he could not help it. It was quite true that in 1888 the city debenturas sold at 4 p. c., while later on they were again offered tor sale and only brought par. One of the chief reasons the Government debentures did not sell so well as was expected was that the financial affsirs of the Province had been mismanaged by the late adminis- tration, and anotoer was the failure of the
