says.—
A considerable debate took place on an item of $3,500 for a wharf at Mount Stewart, . k. I. When the item was read, Mr Mai O raised aii objection that all the pierson P. E, Island had not been taker and that ine Local Goverhment was inter- ested inthe matter. Then the opposition found fanli with the Goveroment for pur~
We qnote Mr. Martin’s remarks, which were brief, and as usual, to} the point. —
Mr. Martix.—Without entering into the constitutional aspect of the question, | venture to think that it would have been better if the vote bad been included in last year’s estimates. I think the object to be accomplished is a very desirable one. As far back as 1896, the extension of the railway to the wharf at Mount Stewart was advocated by myself, and it was as strongly opposed and ridiculed by our cpposents— at least by my opponent in East Queen’s. The extension of the railway to the wharf necessitates its purchase by the Govern- ment. It was referred to as one of the branch lines to be built in Prince Edward Island. It willafford very necessary acs cominodation, acd 1 am giad indeed that the Minieter of Railwaye and Canals has taken hold of the matter. I do not know that tne case justifics the ex-Minister of Finance in making so much out of it, as it | ie a very necessary work,

It willreadily be seen that no justifica- tion whatever can be made for the travesty aod misrepresentation of the Patriot’s O:- tawa correspondent, whoever be may be. In point of fact, the discussion turned, no upon the advisability of expending $3,500 for the purchase of the wharf at Mount Stewart, but the expendi- ture of the money’ without the authorization of Parliament. The fact was brought out in the course of discussion ; and Mr, Foster and others at once proceed~ ed to defend the principle of Parliamen-~ tary controlof public expenditures. We quote.

“Mr. Fosrer.—Then it amounts to just this: The wharf has been bought, the strengtheping process bas gone on at the cost of the country, the property has been taken over, and the Minister of Railways did al this without any autborization at all and without any vote. After it is all

authorization of Parliament and a vore of | money. That rever was though of till | eight days before the end of the fi-ca year, when the note pressed for payn ent.”’
“MINISTER OF MARINE AND Ficnen:hs.— It is sucha smatl aff irthat the reine | Eiward I-land Goverumense end the iurers colenial railwey #nd al)! railways ure aC-
cu-tomed to buy any switches tor trefli: without coming and taking a spec al vote of Parliament every time.”
“Mr Foster. ‘fhen I understand that the Minister of Marine and Fisheries bas thrown cff the mask eatirsly. Up to this time there has been something like an apclogy when members of this Government have proceeded illegally avd wrongfully to acquire property without a vote or means of paying for it,and withont any autboriza- | tion. But to-day the Minister of Marine and Fisheries stands on his legs aud de. clares that it is vot necessury to have the authorization or vote of Parliament. I am glad that at last the Goverowent, through one of their members, have come out of the bush into the open, and declared that hereafter they intend to go on the plan that they wll purchase, entirely irrespective of whether Pa:liameat bas authorized the purchase or not. Alittle thing! It is the buying of a wharf, and I should think that common honesty would compel the Min- isterof Marine and Fisheries to stand up and argue that the principle is the same with reterence to $3,500 as it is with refer- euce to $75,000.
Atter an atiempt on the part of the Mivister of Marine to avoid the point by @aying that the Minister of Railways “simply went there and agreed to pur- chace this wharf because it was in the pub- lic interest that it should be purchased, aud the fact thatit was necessary to alier it and and strengthen it did not amount to arow of pins,” Sir Charles Tupper took come part in the discassion :
Siz Cuarves Turper,—The question re- solves itself into this: Is this Bouse free to object to this vore ?

Sir Cuarves Tuprer.—I do not think so I thiuk that all faith in Governments would be at an end if when this Govern- ment makes an arrangement with the local government cf Prince Edward Island iu reference toa matter of this kind, on which they expend money, this goveru- ment is free to depart from it. There isa contract which the House must approve or v te want if confidence in the Adminie- tration. A government is not warranted in making expenditures,unless under very ex~ aordinary circumstanc?s, | withont an appropriation, aud the fact that this Goyernmeot said to parties: “You | canuos be prid uatil Parliament votes this money,’ does not help them atall. [t ia | not a saving clause, so far as this Parlia- | ment is concerned. The property was purchased, money was expended on it, and tbe purchase price must b2 paid; but it will be paid in oppos:tion to the sound parliamentary principle of getting the | authority of Parliament before, insiead of , after, the thing iedone, The bon, genile- man can herdly take the position that no barna is done because no money was paid, aud, therefore, the House is free. The House is not free. It must carry out the ad of a depart- *

Mr. Sprovie.—I understand that the hon, member for York (Mr. Foster) did not take exception to the merits of the work. It might be the most meritorious work that the Minister has done for years past, but exception is taken to the way he has done it—first spending money, and then asking the House to vote it. It is said, in extenuation of his conduct, that it is only a little thing; but, if it is condoned by the House in little things, it will not be very long before the Government will take the

THE THUNDERER’S OPINION RE YUKON CHARGES
THE remarks of The Times, of London , >
concerning the failure of the governmeat of Canada t weet the cherges of Sir
Charles Hibbert Tupper Lave, we are in~ formed by a special despatch to the Mont- real Star, “‘created a tremerdous sensation
in Canadian circles” in Euzland, as well
as amovy British business meo and politi-
Ciaus interested in Canada.” The Times
Saye, in part:
“We have less hesitation in expressing regret at the rather serious mistake which the Canadian Goveroment seem io have committed within the last few dava,
**On Wednesday Sir Charles Hibbert Tupper, son of the well-known Dominion Statesman who is now one of the few sur- yiving fathers of Confederation, brought very stave charges of incompetence, neg~ lect and corruption against certain officia s employed in the Yukon district.
“The charges are not new so far as their general features are concerned.
“Nearly a year agoour special corres pondevt in the Klondike declared that they were widely made and believed in by the population on the spot, natives and Americans alike.
“We aretold that the offizials were sc-~ cused not merely of incapacity but of pecuniary corruption.
“The tacts stated by our correepondent from her personal observation were suffici- ent to prove that at jeast the administre- tion was euspiciously bad, and that a seerching investigation by competent and impartial com nissioncrs wes required.
“A commissioner of high reputation wae appointed, but, whatever his other qualifications, he can hardily be +aid to have possessed the jndicial experience di si able for such a post.
“Sir Charles Gibbert Tupper, who held the offices of Attorney-General aud Mivies terof Justice in the late Government, re~ peated these accusations in the House, and alleged that Mr. Sifton, the preeent Mimis-~ ter of the Iaterior, waa personally respon- sible.
“He moved for an enguiry anda royal commission and cffered his own unpaid servicer as crown prosecutor, We do net say that the charges are true, still less that any of the individuals named by Sir Hib- vert are guilty; but it certainly seems r-grettable tnat a matter coserious should have be-n treated by the Laurier Govern- ment as astrictiy party question.
“The Minister of the Loterior fell back on Mr, Ogilvie’s report, which is still in- complete, and that it was the daty of the Cabinet not to resign their political res- ponsibility to a comwission of judges.
“There is, perbaps, something to be said for this position from a purely con- stitutional standpoint, but the (tovern- ment would have been better advised had they shown a deeper sense of the serious character of the charge and the necessity of meeting it.”
The Times’ view is the view of all] sensi- Sir Wilfrid and his colleagues have gone wrong ‘o re~
ble men in Canada, Laurier
gard to this as in regard to other matters, and the only conclasion so be drawn from the fact isthat they know the charges are substantially true. Their fearfulness of an investigation is the fearfulness of guilt,
— Referring to the South Perth election case in which the Conservatives ere com-« pletely vindicated, a deepatch from Stra~ ford, Ontario, to the Mail and Empire states that “the entire collapse of all charges against Mr. Monteith’s friends prevented the Conservatives from filing their counter charges. If brought on they would Lave proved quite as black as those to which the Liberals pleaded guilty in West Elgin.” There seems to be no bottom to the eink of Liberal corruption.
In the public accounts commitiee a tew days ago, Mr. Powell said he had rea-~ son to Lelieve that money- voted for fish- ery bounties had been improperly paid to people who were not fishermen. He aek- ed that Deputy Minister Gordeau and In- spector Priace be summoned, and took out a Seacsedles persons in Prince Ed- ward Ieland.
