‘«‘ Blake has sent in his resignation as amem- ber of the Government. It will not be acted upon nutil after the Halifax election. The Ministers are in a terrible state of tribulation. They all met to-day at the Premier's office.”

Tas Patriot discourses upon clap-trap with all the ease and dexterity of an adept in the art. Notwithstanding the inane assertions of the Patriot, it is perfectly true that the short-sighted and invidious policy of Mr. L. H. Davies has created a jealousy between the country and the town which renders difficult the election to the local Legislature of a townsiman by a country onstituency.

The New Minister of Militia.

Tar Moncton Tim2s reports :—*‘ Yester- day, Sunday, morning, about 6 o’clock, Hon. A. G. Jones, ex-M. P., left Halifax for by a special government train, for Ottawa, to be sworn in a member of the Privy Council and Minister of Militia, in the room of Hon. Mr. Vail, the defeated of Digby County. nes. 3 special” reached Moncton at 11.15 a.m.’ where another © cnecial” was in waiting, and all ready to start. A delay of only some four or five ininutes occurred when Mr. Jones started Ottawaward with two Pullman cars. Mr. Jones appeared to be sutiering greatly from hoarseness and could scarcely speak above a whisper, the result, no doubt, of much public speaking in the canvass. He went as far a3 Assametquaghan siation, where he appears to have received advices which caused him to return home.”

f It is said that the ‘‘advices” the new Minis- ter received were to tho effect that his ab- sence would be certain to cause his defeat, and that he had better return and be sworn in at Halifax. So he returned. How dig- nified it was for the new Minister to start off on a ‘fool's errand ” on Sunday morn- ing!

The Jones-Vail Printing Frauds.

On Saturday evening last, Dr. Tupper

delivered in Halifax, a speech which has ightly been called a ‘‘crusher.” He took special painstoshow how those bland eleva- tors of the standard” - Vail and Jones— placed both Local and Deminion Govern-

ments. He said :— s¢ Why is Mr. Jones standing before you

to-night soliciting your suflrages } Because}

he puts his hand into i « THE PUBLIC TREASURY

and took out of it the public monies. (Cries of that’s so!) I will give you the proof. I

say that I can prove to you that under the

law of this country Mr. Jones has forfeited

$2000 a day every day that he has sat in Parliament for the past four years, and that

if an Actof Iddemnity had not been passed— |

jmost patriotic motives. very profitable one,

peculation was not a and yet, if we are to believe Mr. Gayton, | who hrs just heen made a member of the; Government of Nova Seotia,—I have no}; the pleasure of knowing Mr. Gayton, but Lj understand that he is a very lonorable and | j intelligent man—and we find Mr. Gayton’s | sicnature appended asa member of a PRINTING COMMITTEE lof the House of Assembly to a report in|} which it appears that the paper started by |

these gentlemen had not only absorbed an | immease amotnt of public money out of the | treasury of Nova Scotia, but that they had | taken about three times the money that they were honestly entitled to. But it ap- that the speculation these gentlemen engaged in did not still prosper. And what did they do then? Why, they made

a raid on the Treasury of the Dominion, and if you look at this paper, which was placed on the table of the House of Com- mons right under Mr. Jones’ nose, you will find that during the three-quarters of a year while Mr. Ross held office in the Govern- ment, the amount which they received was 32.49), What followed? Mr. Ross was turned out of his position as Minister of Militia through Mr. Alfred Jones’ infiuence with the Government, and Mr. Vail, his partner in this speculation, was put in his place. What happened then? The fruits are tolerably manifest. In the first year succeeding this change they were able to secure, with the assistance of Mr. Vail, the sim of $10,174. They then grew bolder and | were able to secure to themselves a further | sum of $14,193, so that in two years and a| little over the ‘Citizen Publishing Com- | pany” had taken out of the public treasury, which was taken—in contravention of the law of the country, which says that no man in Parliament can lay his hand on a dollar of public money without exposing himseli to heavy penalties—over $26,600? If Mir. Gayton proves, as he has done, that the

Loara i ears

CITIZEN PUBLISHING COMPANY had out of the Treasury of Nova Scotia almost three times the amount to which they were legitimately entitled, what do you suppose they would be likely to aecom- plish when making a raid on the Treasury of the Dominion? You can form an idea of what they did Wen we have the fact that they received some $12,000 per annum for doing a little mork than that for which Mr. Crosskill, of the ‘‘Reporter,” was paid $4,000 for by the former Government, and so have been paid over and above what they were honestly entitled to something like $16,000. Is it any wonder, then, when Mr. Jones was called wpon to give an ac- count of his stewardship, that he found it more convenient to deal with ‘‘ Spring Hill Mines” and ‘“fupper’s Hollis Street pro- perty” than to state the grounds on which he bases his claim to confidence as a public man? There is not an honest independent man among his’ supporters, but must blush when he thinks of the representative of this great city of Halifax standing before the country, compelled thus to abandon his seat in Parliament, and ask his constituency to condone an offence that will never be for- gotten while Mr. Jones is a public man. Mr. Jones makes a great point of this. He says, *‘ I did not put a dollar of this money into my own pocket. Instead of making money I lost, and had to pay $2,000 as my share of the money lost by that company.” Gentlemen, that is drawing a fine distinc- tiou. Is not Mr. Jones as much richer by every dollar of that money as if the com- pany in which he was concerned had made the largest possible profit? If with some- thing like $7,000 a year out of the Local Government and $12,000 a year out of the Dominion Government, the members of the CITIZENS COMPANY

have sunk $2,000 a piece, what do you sup- pose they would have to pay if they had not laid their hands thus unlawfully on money that belonged to you and to the country ! Instead of $2,000 each they would have had to pay something more like $10,- 000, and they, therefore, stand before you to-day richer, at least, to the extent of the | profit on the money taken out of the public | Treasury.

GAYTONS TESTIMONY—-HOW THEY FLEECED THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT.

| Dr. Tupper quoted the following Report lof the Committee of the Local Assembly |who investigated the Printing Scandals of | Jones, Vail & Co.:

‘“We find, from the testimony adduced, that the Government have given, since the year eighteen hundred and sixty-seven, to whom they pleased, without tender or con- tract, the printing for the several Depart- ment and Legislature.

That said printing has been enjoyed al- | most wholly by the proprietors of the ‘following papers, viz. :

The * Acadian Recorder.”

The “Morning Chrenicie.”

The * Citizen.”

THAT NO ACCOUNT OR MEMORANDA WHAT- EVER HAS BEEN KEPT BY DzeaRTMENTS WITH ANY OF SAID PRO- PRIETORS OF SAID NEWSPAPERS OR WORK GIVEN OUT TO THEM.
