April 23, 1896.
Hox. F. Perers, Pres. Board of Trustees.
Dear Sir,—My attention has been called to the fact that Mr. Bell in a speech recent ly made in the Legislative Assembly has criticised the management of the Hospital for the Insane in an adverse manner, tha be has nsed my name as authority for many of his statements and that among other things he has said that the hospital is 1 ing more or less than a jail. I think it only fair to myself as head of the insti tution to ask ¥ yu, the president of the board of trustees, to publicly refute thi statement. I cen truthfully say, and I am sure anyone acquainted with the manage- ment wil eat me outin thie statement, that the vast mujority of patieuts are better clothed, better fed and better housed thar they were before sxdmission, and that they are kindly treat'd and allowed as much liberiy as is consistent with their disease.
statements made by Mr. Bell are on a par with this one he must have drawn larg his imagination to supply him with material for his speech.
He (Mr. Bel!) came to me azo profess ng great iwterest

tal and asked meif [ would answer eom- questions relative to it for his private tu formation only and also give him some
manner in which sach in- conducted. I replied

that [ should be very happy to do so, as | }
am always ready to give any information to those really interested in the welfare of the hospital, never dreaming that the in- terview held would be made the basis of unjust atiack upon the management of the inatitution
As regards the necessity for a new wing it is on t Lalvocsted years ago, and

I fail to ued: rstand how anyone who has visited that asylum and given the matter any consideration can oppose the project for a moment The increased accommo dation thus afforded will relieve the over- crowded condition of the wards, and thus obviate to » great degree the necessity fur restraint, fcr it must be borne in m ~
that the more crowding there is the m¢ excitement there will te among the patients, and consequentiy the greater difficulty in controlling them
I remain, yours truly,
EK. S. Buaxcuaagp. Hon. Mr. Peters also infurmed the Hou-e thet he had made ingniries with reference to the bui in connection with an asylum, and communicate! with the doctor in
some lding had
charge
of ove of the largest poorhouses in the city of Elinburgh and learned that there are no less than 80 lunatics—male and female —in that in-titution taken from the asy- lum. Ifthey candothis in a large city like Edinburgh, he thought we could

He ccndemred te Government for bor rowing more than the sum aathorized by the act, pointing out that they had borrowed | $18 ‘Ou in excess of what they had aright to. It is the far ale of the Governmest and not of the members of this House that deficits have been heape iup. The mem 1 be r« have tried bard to make revenue and expenditure meet but the Government have not and there efore it is they who are} responsible. But if the membera of this House now permit the Government to borrow money to pay their debts they will be held responsible for their action. He bad letters from the western end of the srovince complaining of revenue and ex- pend ture not being ma le to meet and in consequence the Government is becuming uvpopular.
At the even.ng se’sion Mr. Bell reaum- ed the debate on the resolution providing loan. He exonerated
for @ temporary al the members of the Govern ment for revenue ani = expenditure
not meeting, excepting the Leader and the Commissioneer of Public Works. The system that allows one or two men to thus p'unge the country into debt is radically wrong W hy, he asked, has the cold storage » be pom of the Goverament collap:- ed? Simply because the people o hjected, in view of the large detisits. Then the Government guore| the petition of 1,50 teniperance peop! ein respect t to the ap pointment of a venior. These people have Lecom?> disappo nted, and are dissati< fied with the Government. Then the land tax and the income tax have tended to make the Government unpopular. The members of the Hou-e should control the which function has been usurped by some members of the Gov- ernment This borrowing of $75,000 by the Government to pay their indebtedness will be the climax to their unpopularity. Mr. Shaw thought that no member of the House should vote for a further !ncrease ia the public debt, and he implored mem bers on either side to consider well the people who will have to pay this debt. Pro yperty holders tlected one- half the members to guard their interests, and would they be true to the trust reposed io them if they allowed the Government t add $75 ,000 more tothe debt of the Pro
expenditure,
vince. He represented the franchise vot ers, and thought he wou'd be unworthy of the trust reposed in lum if he were a party to adding $75,000 to the already large debt. Ww hen the present government were in
they dec Jared that we sh u'd
opposition make revenue and expetiditure meet, and it was largely on thatcry that they ob- tained power. Since their advent to power, however, they have managed the finances of the province most rec klessly, and the farmers will some time have to pay that debt. We have no resources other than agriculture. The income tax is diminish- ing, the cities are exempt*d from land tax and who but the farmers will have to pay the debt. The farmers toil early and late, and is it right that threugh the gross ex
travagance of this adminis.ration they should be caljed upon to pay an enormous tax upon their land. The Leader declared that the day of taxation was far off, and that he would make r-venue and expendi-
ture mee ot. That was how the majority was rolled up againet us at the last elec- tion. Wetold the people we could not equalize revenue and expenditure without tax ition, and asa rerult only eix of us were returned to this Hous», We were de- feated on a straight party policy. But did ihe present government economize and husband the resources cf the province as they said they would? They had a deficit
RES
the present Government’s term. This will | necessitate $24,000 in interest and te
amount of additional taxation will be $70,000. This, added to the aa already obtained from real estate, |
will amount to $100,000 per year. other words the farmer who today pays $3 |
taxes will then becalled uponto pay $10; the farmer who today pays $9 will then be re-
required to pay $30. He asked if the farmers are prepared for thie? Are they aware of the enormous burdea that has been fastened on them? Are they aware that a mortgage of $50 is being placed on the average farm of this Province. We have a right to reflect that the hardy sons of toil who sent us here are the ones who will suffer. The members of the House should remember this, and govern them- selves accordingly.
Hon. Mr. McLean said he had _listene.! with much attention tothe speech of the hon. member from New Perth. The hon. member says the governmentiis ruining the country. Bat how were affairs managed by the late government? We had to as- sume the debt they left and had also to at- tend to the p iblic works which were in a dilapitated condition. We had to iseue icbentures to pay off thedeb!t,an{d we trust this year to be able to make revenue and expenditure meet. Owing to rains and ireshets the expendit: re on bridges was ex- raerdinary and besides there were repairs tv the ferry steamers. The oats sre now in Al conditio: and no great expenditure vill be required on them for come years. He claimed that the charges made by the hon. member from New Perth regarding the bridge at Nanfrage was unfounded, and said that the expenditure there was owing to the freshets. In regard to rights of way he asserted that more money was spent in the New Perth district than had
been spentin the district which he (Mr. McLean) represented. The cheese factories require many sew
roads leading to them, and we must en- courage this industry. When we cannot give the people satisfaction then we should get out and let them run things aa they did before. He thought the resolution be- fore the House would be the means of saving money to this Province, and he would always vote in fayor of saving money to the people. If there ie not a sur- plus next year, he hoped that at least r .esue smd expend.ture would be made to meet.
The reso'ution was then put to vote and declared carried on the following division:
Yeas—Peters, McLean, Richarde, Me- Millan, Forbes, Laird, McLaugblin, H. C. Macdonald, A. Peters, Prowse, Rogers (city), Gallant, Gordon, McKinnon, Rogers, Alberton, Aitken, Robertson —17.
Nays—Gordon, Shaw, J. A. Macdonald, J. E. Macdonald, Be.l.—5.
The House then went into Committee on the resolution, an! it was reported agreed to on the same division as before.
After the Speaker took the chair the House divided as followa on the motion that the report of the committee be adopted : —
Yeas. - Peters, McLean, Richards, Mc- Millan, Forbes, Laird, McLaughlin, H. C. Macdonald, A. Peters, Prowse, Rogers (city) Gallant, Godkin, McKinnon, Rogers (Alberton) Aitken, Robertson, Warburtoa.--18.
Nuye.—GerJon, Shaw, J. A. Macdonald J. E. Macdonald, Blanchard, Bell.— 6.
The motion was declared carried.
Hon. Mr. Peters introduced a bill to amend the Temporary Loans Act, which was read a first time. The rule having
been euspended, it was also read a second
every year and had to borrow from the banks to float them al_ng until their eup- porters could be gatbered in and another loan floated. No interest has been paid 01 th: 'oans except on the amounts w th- dawn inl89t. In 1895 the s: me tliig waidone, and he (Mr. Shaw) claimed thet they owe in these loans about $4,000 of accumulatei interest. On the 3lst of March las they had actually | borrowed from the banks $43,519. Cuntin uing Mr. Shaw quoted from the utterances

These words strike the Lealer hard. Everything and everyone must give way to him. Bat ihe feeling is against this in- creased expenditure when there is no real necessity for it. Shakespeare ther :-~—

[4 there to be nol mit to theextravagance of the Government? Unless a change is made ruin must overtake us. Our delt on the 3ist December last was $382,423.77 according to the admission of the Leader. But the actual! d bt is far greater. How can the government eupporters tol- erate and support ruinous policy ?
Mr. Bell,ia reply to the letter of Dr. Blan- chard, ea i the charges preferred against the asylum had their basis in the report of the Medical Su iperintens jant, and the doctor does not makeany reference to the figures or statements in that report. This re port showed that up to seven years ago the number of cures was 50 per cent—a pa average. But there has since been a remarkable decline, and in 1894 the average was only €.9 per cent. This he ght showed that the inatitution was not curative but merely a place of restraint, He denied (that the interview with Dr. Blanchard, was] private for the doctor fuliy understood his (Mr. Bell’-) object in interviewing him There is nothing in the doctor’s letter to contravene the state ments made by him (Mr. Bell) in this House. Dr. Blanchard, however, did con-

money. Where would they be if a financial crisis came and these lenders wanted their money ? They would refuse to pay and where would the lenders be? We are on the edge of a financial vole.no, and we sal! soon be in the position Newfouodland was in last year. Those investors should seriously consider this. When debentures were issued for $185,000 the Leader said the Hillsborough would be built and this building repaired out of the sum. But
bentures? He did not. for it out of the ordinary revenue and all has not been paid yet. in the year just before the last election they cpened the flood—zates of corrupt @a and $50,000 was expended on road< alone.
They collected d»ring the last two years $92,000 in taxes, while there were deficits of $53,009. Does the leader mein to say he received only $18,000 over the amount he was authorized to borrow by the House
Instead, he paid
in 1894? He (Mr. Shaw) then went on to show thatthe enormous sum of $135,- 923.14 was obtained in loans, $36,008
more than was authorized by parliament. liow dare the members of the Government stand up in their places and allow this. They are all equally responsible and are unworthy to represent avy constituency. They are as clay in the potter’s hands, pandering tothe overweening ambition of the leader. A portion of the interest is not paid on these loans. In 1895 the same thing was dune and ne (Mr. Shaw) cla med that this year they owe as interest on those loans over $4000. He also did not ep ni the promised $14,000 onthis building, but he spent a few dollars in papering one or two offices, One way the pubiic debt waa increased was by political rights of way. Look at the C. P. W.’s district. Bridges have been built there that are no more
required than a fifth wheel toacoach. He (Mr. Shaw) could point to a road at Naufrege that had actually
been fenced at the pub lic expense with a view to securing political support. As for ferries they are asource of dissatisfaction throughout the land. He then took up the
steamer Boodler and showed the large sum that bad been spent on her over the amount of the contract.
He aleo pomted to the extravagance in connection with some bridges in “his die- trict, and then proceeded to review the conduct of the goverament with respect to the sale of the old asylum building. He poioted out that last year a bill wae passed authorizing the sale of this building. The whole structure has since been hauled away or given away, and where has the money for it gone. ‘He hoped it would not follow the Scott Act fines. Taking up the
tradict statements that had not been made by him, viz., in regard to cleanliness, food, order, and clothing. He made no charges respecting thee se. He thought it very curious that the only arguinen: in
favor « ining the poorhouse and asylum
was denies from the condition of affairs in Edinb burgh But there was no question about its being wrong to join these two.
Speaking more immedi ate ely to the resolu
tion hefi re the House Mr. Bel! pointed
out that it is claimed (1) that the money | is wanted to build the wing for the | asylum, and (2) to have a fund | ¢! from which we may draw | ‘ndependent of the banks. The prin- Ciple of raising the loanis right and he would support it. But he would not
permit them to borrow any more than eufficient to build a wing to the asylum.

Mr. Warburton explained that in defer- ence to the opinion of members of he House privately expressed he had decided to withdraw the bill incorporating the Charlottetown Elestric Company, and therefore moved that the third order of
the day be discharged. The motion carried, Hon. Mr. Peters introduced a bill
amending the “Public Schools Act, 1877.7 The bill provides as follows :—
1. The third section of “The Public Schools Act 1877” is hereby amended by addingtu the end of sub-section C the fullowing clause : “Provided always that with regard to any district heretofore created or hereafter to be created, no Court shall enquire whether or not such district contains or contained than forty resident children or less than four square miles; and the fact that such dis- trict was created by the Board of Educa tion shall be taken as conclusive on these questions.
2. Nothing herein contained shall affect the judgment to be given in any pending suit nor the costs in any such suit; but with regard to districts in which any law- Suit has arisen in which the point dealt with by this statute is under consideration, this statute shall apply for all purposes except the decision in the case actually —
3. Nothing herein contained shall in any way affect the construction to be put upon the School Act as it at present ex- ists, the intention of this Act being simply to settle @ dieputed point.
loss
Mr. Gordon expressed the opinion that the Public Schools Act already provided for more schools districts than were re- quired. He thought that if the object of the proposed anendment was to increase school districts it should not be passed. But if the amendment was for the benelit of education and in the interests of the people, he saw no reason why it should not become law.
Mr. Bell spoke in approval of the bill before the House.
Mr. Shaw pointed to the great import-
ance of the meesure before the House, and expressed his disapproval of vesting so great a power in the hands of the Board of Education, which, in rea'ity, wes noth- ing more than a political patty. He thought the measure was one which should have been submitted to the House before the closing days of the session. Hon. Mr. McLean was favorable to the measure before the Louse. The House divided on the motion that the bill be read a first time, and it was de- clared carried. Mr. Blanchard. voted with the Government in favor of the mea- sure.

NOTES FROM THE CAPITAL,
Sir Mackenzie's Resignation.
Sir Charles Tupper Forming a Cabinet,
Some of ths Nemss Mentioned, Orrawa, April 23. Sir Mackenzie Bowell is no louager Pré-
mier of Canada, and Sir Charles Tupper is engaged in the task of contructing a ministry. It was sharp one o’clock when the Premier left his cflize to proceed to Rideau Hall to tender his resignation to the Governor-General. It was nearly four o’clock when Sir Mackenzie returned to the city, and as soon as he could be but- tonholed he intimated that he was Prem- ier no longer. The Cabinet had been ealled together for three o’clo-k, but when that hour arrived there was practically no Cabinet in existence: the Cabinet dies y with the resignation of the Premier.
, The ex-Ministers, however, sat in their cepacity as Privy Councillors until after five o’clock.. Then the gathering broke up. Sir Charles Tupper was leaving the building for his home when a telephone message came from Government House that His Excellency would like to see him. Those who heard of this well understood the significance of this message. Sir Charles was with Lord Aberdeen nearly two hours. Your correspondent had a chat with him and learns that he had been ask- el by His Excellency to form a ministry, and that he had accepted the commissiuu. As to the personel! of the ministry Sir Charles could say nothing to day. A defin- ite announcement of the commission of the cabinet 18 likely to be forthcoming. The general .mpression around is that those niembers ofthe Bowell ministry will be ia the new cabinet, viz. Foster, Haggart, Moutague, Ives, Carron, Dickey, Costigan, Prior and Wood. The names of the new members are said to be Chief Juatice Meredith, Hugh Jchn Mac- donald. Governor Chapleau and Hon. A. R, Angers. It is held to be a sure thing that Hugh John will become Mini:-t r of the Interior.
There are those who insist yet tha Chapleau will be found in the Tupper Ministry.
—Sir Mackenzie Bowell has resigned. He leaves behind him a clean record,
—Dr. Sexton succeeled last evening in mysterious subject exceedingly interesting. His argument was learned, his illustrations, anecdotes, etc., apt and convincirg,
—Mr. Shaw peinted out last eveninz that given powerto borrow $160,000 the Government have realiy borrowed $135 900. The question now is, if the Govern} me.tcbtained leave to borrow another $100,000, how much will they borrow ?
