'

i As Mr. Cartwright will in a short time exhibit himself once more to the public in his offisial capacity as Minister of Finance it will not be amiss to renew acquaintance with him and look at him a3 he has painted himself. We see him at his best, or worst, in his famous shield picture. On many an | occasion we have pointed to his brazen ef- frontery in going before an Ontario audience | wad condemning, in unmeasured terms, that which, a3 a supporter of Sir John Macdon- ald, he had spoken in favour of | and voted forin the House of Commons. We have been perplexed to account for such 3 re- markable exhibition on any theory of the epeaker’s entire sanity. But we think Mr. Cartwright’s shield picture outdogs all his former efforts in this particular line. I¢ will be remembered that in October, 1875, this perplexing financier called upon the moneyed menof the London Stock Ex- change fora loan; and in order that he might obtain it he made this clear and true statement of the mamner in which the finan- cial affairs of the Dominion had been man- aged, from the inception of Confederation

down to the time in which he wrote -—

“* The whole of the debt has been incurred for legitimate objects of public utility. * * The iudirect advantage from these public works has already been found in the remark- able rapidity with which the commerce and the material prosperity of the Dominion have been developed; while a substantial increase in the direct returns may fairly be expected from the improvements now in progress and to follow the steady progress of population and trade. ? : e , The revenue has shown a continuous surplus during each year since Confederation, in 1367, although it has in the interval been charged with much heavy expenditure of an exception- al kind, such as the outlay connected with the several Fenian attacks on the country, the ac- quisition aad organizstion of new terzitory,and providing an adequate defensive force for the Dominion. . : The eight years since Confederation, therefore, exhibit an ag- gregate ~ surplus of. two millions four huuured aud torty-three thousand one hundred and eleyen pounds (equal to eleven millions eight Lundrod aad etghty-nine thousand eight hunlred and eight dollars, and not including the sinking fund), whieh has been partially ap- plied in the redemption of debt, aud partially expended in new works. The annual payment for sinking fund is included in the current ex- penditure, and forms in the aggregate a further sem of seven hundred thousand pounds (or three millions four hundred and six thousand six hundred aud sixty-eight dollars) since Con- federation.” .

This was coriainly a most satisfactory ex-

—

hibit. And there was no gainsaying its truthfulness. It was correct in every par- ticular. The figures were taken from the

Publie Accounts, verified by the Auditor- General. Before the whole world Mr. Cart- wright pledged himself that the finances of Canada had for seven years been imanaged with prudence and skill. And we cannot doubt that dealing simply with the facts, as he did, not the shadow of a doubt crossed his mind that his statement of October, 1875, was to the extent of a hair’s-breath a departure from the truth. But there came an evil day—the day of Grit picnics. Scem- ingly Sir. Cartwright’s idea of fealty to the party chief who had bought him sequired that he should denounce much of what he had both said and done. And _ so, in the

recklessness bred of his equivocal position, he denounced himself! He called himself a

liar. He said he had told untruths to the men of money from whom he had asked, and got, aToanin Engiand. Not in so many words, of course, did he aay this, but a cwn- trast of his pienic language with his Landon statement means this as plainly as language | can express it. On several picnic, occasions | the Finance Minister attacked his prececes- sors for the financial management he had extolled in London; but perhaps on no oc- casion did he permit. himself to speak with wuch atuazing recklessness as at Alymer, where, on 22nd September last, he said: -

‘‘ How, | say, did they prefer to face their obligations ? ‘The thing is incredible, but it is true. These old, these wise, these sagacious, experienced, and provident statesmen (?} actu- ally prepared to meet this tremendous charge om our resources in this fashion. By raising the expenditure in 1873.4 from nineteen mil- lions and a trifle in 18723, to twenty-three millions three hundred and sixteftn thousand dollars! They prepared to meet such a bur- (den of debt as no Minister had ever before drecmed of imposing on the country by raising the expenditure in one year four miljion dol- lars. Sir, f have asked myself more than once, crd now 1 publicly repeat the question, was this done in sheer brutal ignorance and reeklesanese, or was i done of malice prepense? Did they design to scuttle ike ship after they had plundered [her ? Or was it only the last mad folly of the drunken crew before they ran upon the breakers ? Whatever the cause, that was the position of affairs when we came into office; tise were the difficulties to which you have alluded to in your address, and with which my honorable iriend has been struggling ever since. Now there is no doul@ ibe position was a critical | one.”

Senator Macpherson, in his “Reply,” | referring to this feature of Mr. Cartwright’s | career as a Minister, forcibly says: ‘Who | would trust a country that retamed in her } service a Minister who boasted that he car- ‘ried about with him atwo-faced shield, re- |presenting Truth and Untrath, to present which face he might consider best calculated | to promote his objects! Mr. Cartwright’s | name. will figure in history as that of the | only Finance Minister in the world who has made so disgraceful a confession. The Minis- | ters of Honduras, Costa Rica, Ecuador and Peru, are not so lost to all sense of respect

as Mr, Oortwright is. They may bo as un.) weeklies.

scrupulous as he, but they respect the scruples of others, and refrain from publiely boasting of having done that which they know honest men will condemn es disgrace-

ful.” The language is strong, but it is not undaserved. Never before did a Finance

Minister proclaim so loudly his want of all conception cf moral right as Mr. Cartwright’ in this shield business ; and it ought to be evident to every one that a man who is con- trolled by such debased and debasing prin- ciples is not fit to be a Cabinet Minister.

To the Editor of the Examiner:

Sta,—The fact of Mr. Henry Combs’ denial of statements‘made by me, as to the cause of his ‘‘ ire and wrath,” does not de- wact in the slightest degree from their truthfulness, but rather coroborates them. His last ‘‘summer’s day” explanation of his ‘* minature lumber yard” may be accepted to the few who get credit from him. I give a great deal more credit to the

sense of the public ; they must believe there was much more than a mere temporally load ot shingles obstructing the side-walk, to cause the S. M. to fine Henry $1.60. It must have been an aggravated oftience. The policeman could, no doubt, tell the ex- act words “truthful Henry” ‘denies ever being uttered. If the Magistrate exceeds his duty or delivers wrong judgments, Coombs or any other man has a remedy; there are other and higher courts to appeal to; but as yet no judgment of the lower : court has been set aside. Yhat will speak for itself. When his cow broke lvoso from the boy and got into pound, the owner was foolish enough te sue the policeman for the pound feo $1.00. If the policeman got even a farthing of that money, they might make, perhaps, a profitable percentage out of cow-catching, besides having con- siderable exercise and innoeent amusement. but two-thirds of the fine goes to the city funds and 23 cents to the Pound Keeper, whoever he may be, so of course he was not receipted. The same few will believe “Truthful Henry’s” cow story who accept- ed his other explanation. The poor police- mon will not. By the way, there is an old horse in the scrape, tco. “Henry” had @

horse,” which fell into a pit on “‘one sum- mer’s day,” and he sued the city for dam- ages inflicted on this ‘‘animile.” The City

suited our litigant.

If i said that a jackass completed the list, ° I might not be very far astray, but I dislike hurting any persons feelings.

> To the Liditor of the Examiner :

Carvéil’s election, I attended a meeting of the City Council a few evenings ago. The small room in which the City Parliament is ncld was, on this occasion, densely crowded, The ventilation was bad,—rendering it ne- cessary for any one possessed of a sensitive olfactcry to retire. I had not, therefore, the pleasure to hear much of the debate, which seemed rather desultory His Wor- ship presided with dignity and tact. The greatest order, and indeed harmony, seemed

Fathers. As our Civie Parliament is of great importance to us taxpayers, it may not be out of place to give an outline of the leading characteristics of those who rule over us in that department. In the Provincial Parliament, photographs of our representatives adorn our Legisjative Halls. Why not honor our Civic Board in like manner ? Yours, &c., Comic. February 14, 1877.

Brraruinac Turovce tHe Movrsa.—A fact which cannot be too frequently im- pressed on the mind is the pernicious habit of breathing through the meuth while slecping or waking. There are many per- sons who sieep with the mouth open, and do not know it. They may go to sleep with it closed, and awake with it closed; but if the mouth is dry and parched on waking. it is a sign that it has been open during sleep. Snoring is another sure sign. This habit should be overcome. At all times, except when eating or speaking, keep the mouth firmly closed, and breathe through the nostrils, and retire with a firm determination to conquer. The nostrils are the proper breathing apparatus —-not the mouth. A man may inhale pois onous gases through the mouth vifhout being aware of it, but not through the nose.

The principal of 2 public school at Passaic, New Jersey, has discovered the existence of a secret society consisting of a number of the pupils of that institution, whose avowed ob- ject is to steal from the stores. This society has its ‘‘head centres,” regularly chosen, its bye-laws and even oaths. The members are under each other's supervision, and every trai- toris punished. Their brigandage -is chiefl directed to the theft of red herrimgs, on whi they feast to their heart’s content, but, cf course, they do not disdain any portable cr edible object that comes in their way. Ca being detected, they confessed that the scheme was suggested to them by the stories which they had read in some of the cheap New York
