T-htrspeech of the Leader of the;

Opponlqion dtelfi-vtered‘ during the, budget debate, a report of which‘! appeared in The Guardian Thursday last, is deserving of more than a passing notice. it fairly sets forth all” the principal matters that are in controversy‘ tit-tween the two ‘political parties’ ill this province. The statements‘ made are so Ibuttressed and sup- ported by indisputable rum and‘ figures that nothing is based u,p-' on lnere assertion. .\ir. Arsenaulfs

speech is the more persuasive I and convincing from its tnoderuticn. from the ab-

sence of epithets applied to his op- ponents, from the undoubted sin- ccrlty c1 the speaker, whose faith- ful and honourable course in pub lic life give him trust and cre- dence whenever he is called to speak.

in his great speech. worthy of any political leader. our province has produced, Mr. Arsenault has turnledi the clear sﬂearchlight bi truth upon the Bel-l government and its record. That record is their‘ condemnation for all time to come. time obscure sotne 0f its billckest feat-

and he who reads must be con-

truth of his contentions. The ‘Bell aggregation ‘stands hopelessly dis- credited and condemned before the country tudny and only awaits in- evltalble defeat at the polls whcu the hour of election shall strike.

CANADIANS IN THE STATES

it is gratifying lo learn from the United ‘States cons-us returns that there are lfewer Canadians in the United States than there were ten years ago. The figures now show the total to the 1,117,186, which is 87,501 fewer than were there at the date of the preceding census. Together these would Inaike up the population of a very considerable city. Our people uro evidently coming back to us. and ‘for the lvtery tgocd tension that Canada is quite as ‘good a country as the United States, or any other in which to live.

We shall no doubt, have anoth- er gratifying fact ~to note when the Dominion census is taken a few months hence ‘and shows the in- crease of United‘ lStates born ‘peo- ple who have become residents of'(.‘anadn. The increase from this source should ‘he much larger than the diminution o-f Canadians in the States as noted above. lt shotlld run into hundreds of thousands. Thus Canada is slowly coming in- to her own in the matter of pop- ulation and we may hope the in- crease shall he more and more ralp- id in future years.

The House is 0105911. 11110 7m‘ a time now the people may breathe easy in the relief that further leg- irlatllve damage ls at least 110st- ‘pmled until another session com- mences. in some respects l! "H"! been the most renlarkuble ever held in this or llfllllﬂilil’ any "m" country in the civilized world. As‘ to producing results that can ‘be oi‘ any benefit. to the pH-ODIB “i "W province, it may be said t0 llﬂ-Vﬂ been absolutely barren. The Rum and substance may be centralized in tlhe idea of further ‘taxation along previously forgotten or ommited llnesand the

previous months 0f their admiuls tratlcn. and in attempts l" Streng- then their processes for squeez- ing the taxes ollt of the Telilvlilm and unfortunately ilnpcvished tax- payer. .ln a few lines 0i’ Public policy ‘they were compelled to ac- cept ‘tile advice of the Oltlioiillon- gtlven to them at the last session. and to amend their acts ‘in ac- cordance therewith. We are not inclined b0 crow over this triumph but raither disposed to compliment them upon their belated good sense. And yet much of trouble, and delay and annoyance would ‘have ibeen averted. if they had acted upon Hon. lMir. Arsenault‘: advice when llirst given a year ago.

Nhtably amongst these was the matter of the interest ralte on the funded debt. Their proposal to of- fer debentures at a 5 1-2 it?!‘ 69111 rate of interest, was pointed Oil! to them as being impracticable in the lpresent. state of the money ‘market, und after a year of 0110i’! they ‘have ‘had this truth pressed upon tlhcmxo the entent of chant!- lng the rate to six ‘per oentmvhich they have done. And in this con- nection we offer them in all sin- cerity, antl without political pre- judice, our advice T0 GO SLOW IN FLOATING LOANS. PARTI- CULARLY LONG TERM ONES. AT THIS HIGH RATE. it does not seem ipossibie that money will continue to command such a high interest. as this for a much long- er period, and it seems to us that it would Ibo good business on the part of the Government to limit their debenture floatations to the shortest terms, and‘ the smallest amounts possible to get along with. We are not suggesting a calling oft of the necessary programme of public woliits, tbut rather that. tran- sient uIIuDQOIIIGDM be made with the tbanks to ‘meetLneces-csary ex- penditures. it ‘would ‘be ‘better to pay thlis six per cent to the banks

The goggllﬂll ‘is notable again in the fact that the commit-tee 0n Agriculture was not COIIVEPBd-Plw‘ bably for ‘the first time in the his- tory of tihe province With what the pan-lot lcftlis a “nlost up-trr date practical agriculttlrisl." ill "h" llcatl of the Department of Agri- culture, and ‘t bod)’ i" ""375" claiming to be a Farmers Govern- ment. it is strange that. this most important of committees was nev- er called together. if there is ona interest greater than another in this province it is my that of the farm and soil, and this session wilth all its pretensions of

without reference to ‘this commit- tee, Ant] people want. to know the reason why’! The (‘ilalrmun and ‘the majority are selected from the Government side of the House. The Opposition have nothing to do but attend when summoned. iBut they have certain powers and ‘pri- vileges when there. They can ask questions, call for witnesses. ‘papers and documents relating to the affairs or ‘administration, AJND T-HEREBN ‘LIES THE "DANGER m0 rm: GOVERNMENT, especi- a-l-ly la ‘the matters insufficiently answered in the House. It would not do to ‘give the Opposition mem- ibers an opportunity of enquiring for instance ‘too closely into those cattle transactions. That Holstein Bull, and those Holstein heifers trad better not,be disturbed. The "red rag" to the (Jommissioner.

Another development of the session was that of filling the pub- ~1ic school vacancies with teach- ers ‘who had never taken a college course. and ‘under our Education Act, not quaiiiiiedto teach. Spec- ial license or permission it ap- pears was granted by the Depart- ment of Education to enable these to teach and dralw ‘their salaries. and now by u special act ‘they have taken ipower, by statute, to con- tinue thtis ploceedlrre. It has been their lboast in recent, days that they halve fil-led many of the vac- ant schools, .but now the process by vwhtich they have done so RJE-

‘FLECTS IMIORIE OF‘ DllSG-RACE THAN CREDIT. They preached

and taliked of ‘improving the stand- ards of education in the province until the people could scarcely

classics, rbut now comes this nude awakening that a college training or ndlvaniced education is not a necessary qualification. only in a sense a sufficient pull wtith the

Government to get s special-lic- ense, and we presume that a rknow-

icdge of the aiphstbst and multipli- cation table wllLat least its insist- ed upon. What inducement for

long odds "’

might produce trouble ‘

thiink of anything outside of the "

same nloney in the saute way-with- out this sacrifice? ‘

Other advice ‘which we gave the Government was that they had nil the powers twlthin titetnselves of restraining and prohibiting im- portutitln of liquors. Their 191i!- peranco ideals or st-ntimeuts have not measured ‘up to this occasion. and those amendments to the Pro- bitbition Act which were within their prerogatives ‘have not been made. Rumor has it however that they are after ‘more taxes ‘from those exporters ‘whose taxa- tion-ihcense fee has been int-reas- ed to $5,000. if this ls so, then, so far.so goo-thnt it might have been vastly shelter, by putting an absol- ute stop to the business as they should have done.

Wit-lie as if lby ‘preconcertetl ar- rangement u great portion of the debate on the Government side of the House in the first five weeks consisted of‘ throwing ‘bou- quets at eat-h other, there was on the other hand latterly a ‘liberal application of vertbal brick-bats, making the Assem-biy‘ room to have the appearance of a minia- lure bear garden or a menagerie

where the chattering of monkeys supercedes the human instincts

of decorum. Expressions were thrown across the floor by some leading lights of so coarse and un- parliamentary a character that good ‘taste prevents our proclaim- ‘ing them to the world. and under- tone nlutterlngs whiteh if spoken in a louder voice would surely have incurred the ‘correction of the speaker. The Attorney General and the lay aspirant for legal dia- tinction, representing the (‘lty on

the floor of thellcruse, were above all others not billing and cooing

in the same nest. Between them there was not thnt ‘beautiful con- necting cllord of harmony so fre- quently and eloquently described in the columns of’ the Patriot, and
