he Rebecca Street Church in ie came into prominence here in connec- tion with a scandal in which a eertain Rev. Mr. Gray was involved. Gray ward went to Kansas, where he started a law office. Rine soon followed to pay him a visit. relieve

what he was doing. He appealed to his brother-in-law in this’ city to help him out of his trouble, and he did so. After this Rine returned

to Pittsburghand got up a leeture entitled, ‘* Out of Hell,” being a description of his treatment in Chicago. He was next called before the public by being caught in the act of going through the till im his brother- in-law s-place of bustness on Diamond Alley. For this he stopped at Claremont for two years, and after his release he engaged in the patent business ina smali way, and in- vested most of his earnings a drink, When Francis Murphy struck Pittsburgh, Rine joined the temperance ranks, and became one of the shining lights of the cause here. His power as an exhorter was great. After laboring in the cause here for some time,he struck out for Canada. There he made a ‘‘ hit.” He was tLe only active temperance worker in Canada, and in the Dominion he was as popular as Francis Murphy was in Pittsburgh. ‘‘ The Rine movemeni’’—the name by which he designated his work —in ‘act tock the Canadians by storm, and the papers of the country teemed with coluinns in his praise. In addition to his temperance lectures, he was. frequently admitted to preach in the Baptist churches to the great edification of all who attended his adminis- trations. He is ashrewd fellow,but thorough- corrupt, and ueeds constant watching. It is to be hoped the Canadian authorities will deal less leniently with him than those of Pittsburgh have done.

Fripay sicur, March 20? THE BUDGET-——-SUMMARY OF MR. SULLIVAN'S SPEECH.

Hon. Mr. Scnitvan, after a few prelimi- nary criticisms, pointed out the fact that the expenditures of the Governnent during the past year exceeded their cstimates by $40,000. They expended $40,009 more than they had received authority froma the House to expend; and it really seemed as though they did so as the only means of proving that the obnoxious assessment of last year was necessary. Last year the Province had to its credit a balance of £40,000, and the Government decided that it ought to keep the amount in the Treasury. The accounts this year, however, show that the balance is reduced to $35,246.53. Last year the Opposition told the Government that it was not necessary to raise the amount they pro- posed to levy under their Assessment Act, and the fact that they have kept $55,000 idle in the bank, at 5 per cent., while the poor people of country have been obliged to pay 25 per cent. for raising this amount by an onerous tax upon themselves, proves on the face of it that the Opposition was right. This Government has been pay- ing 25 per cent., while they have all the money they require lying at interest in the bank at 5 per cent.—or rather, I should say, at-about 2 per cent., because some of the money does not bear any interest at all, Never in the history of the Province should the Government have been more careful how they laid increased burdens upon the people. And yet, as We how see, they, without the shghtest necessity, levied an irritating and burdensome tax upon them, and sunk nearly a fourth of the whole amount raised in the collection of it— merely for the gratification of having a sort of nest-egg in the Treasury.

They have, too, been most lavish with the public funds. So ingenious were they in finding means of paying out the public money that ata place called High Bank, somewhere in the constituency of hy member from Belfast, they laid out—wit

benefit of the people of High Bank. This is the way the Government contrived to

ines ¢ Clovernment tells ns, Sir, must be taken with « great many grains of allowance, He

sate eamys *

that a great saving has been effected in the Registry Office. But I find, on refer- ring to the Auditor, that daring the month of January last—-after the yearly accounts were closed—the officials of that office drew from the Treasury $9350.

Hon. Mir. DEBiois said the amount re- maining unpaid when the public accounts were closed for the year was only $48.

Hon. Mr. Suttrvan took the public ac- counts as they weresissued by the Auditer and assumed that they were correct. The Leader of the Government also boasted about the Education Office... The fact is that never was that office in a worse condition than it is at present. If a person goes there to find any particular paper—even one which should be produced on application— the chances are that it will take him the greater part of a day to find it. I have been there myself, and I know that the office is in a must disorderly condition.

The Leader of the Government informs us that it is necessary to continue the As- sessment Act of last year. [f am_ strongly of the opinion thatthere is no such necessity. lf the Government had not very largerly exceeded their estimates ior the past ve a they would have jhad money to Ss Mm without any additional Assessment whit ever. Instead of receiving $40,600 from the Land Uffice as they estimated, they re- ceived nearly $100,000 ; and since the close of the past year they have, I am informed, received for lands an amount which swell the receipts for the office to nearly $120,000. Besides that, they received from the old Land Assessment a sum of $12,000 which they did not expect. This year they will receive a large amount for which the Leader of the Government has not given credit.. A goodly sum is due by Charlottetown. Char- jottetown has been highly favored these hard time. . It is the constituency of the Leader of the Government and the Hon. Provincial Secretary, and it is necessary to keep it in good humor. Only $338 of the poll tax was collected in Charlottetown last year, and the balance due ought to flow into the Treasury next year. About $1,700 of the levy on the townspeople, remain un- paid, and there must be a large amount of it still due throughout the length and breadth the country.

Now, I estimate the revenue for the cur- rent year in this way. I estimate that the subsidy will amount to $163,000. The Leader of the Government thinks it will be about $162,000. But then he hopes to re- ceive $65,000 from the Land Office, while I expect only $60,000. The arrears due on account of the poll tax are about $5,000, while the arrears of land tax amount to $3,200. Supposing that the poll tax be levied again this year it will yield $20,000, and other sma!l sources of revenue will yield in the aggregate $33,239.28. Thus, without the abnoxious assessment at all, the revenue for the year will be, according to my esti- mate, $324,685.81 ; @nd, adding the amount to be refunded by the Dominion for the purchase of public lands,— $8,709.75,—the total amount of our receipts for the year will be $828,395.56, Now, what will the expenditures amount to? Last year they amounted to $331,642. Included in them are a good many items which will not have

of

'yaluing estates. Then there was the $100 expended on Victoria Bridge which the ycenment had no right to expend; but ccvuse it was advisable to obtain the vote of an Hon. Member of this House in favor

lof the Assessment Act it was spent. The | Government paid $100 for music and $145 for the photographs of Hon. Members | of the Legislative Council. These | ‘tems .will not be. required this vear. It is not necessary when the)

not worth the amount expended for their photographs. Such amounts as these— which can just as well as not be cut down— amount in the aggregate to amount deducted from €331.632.13—wili reduce the expenditure e year to $306,632.13. So that, ad-

But, then,there are other items of expenditure which I think might very well be deducted. There is the Legis- lative Council—not 17,000 as stated by some of the newspapers—but $7,000. The Legislative Council is not required, and ithat amount might be saved. Then there is the printing, rendered necessary by the Assessment Act $1,168.97, which would not be required if the law were not put in foree, The Superintendent tof Education, whom I still think is an unnecessary of ficial, receives $1,700, and the Engineer,

$1,700, he Registration and os °

Ballot Act, the cost of which

we _ should not be required te

bear costs $3,600 and a retrenchment to the amount of $3,000 might, I believe, be made

m the cost of public printing. By a re- adjustment of the Provincial Sec-

retary’s and Auditor’s Offices, I think a say- ing might he effected of $1,200 a year. These expenditures Which might be saved amount to $18,768.97, and if deducted from the gross amount the expenditure of the year would be reduced to $287,863.16, and the surplus remaining in the Treasury at the end of the year would be $45,532.40.

‘Total expenditure. ......

A joint stock company, under the name of the ‘‘ Prince Edward Island Starch Com- pany,” is being formed in this city, for the purpgse of manufacturing starch from po- tatoes. The company intend starting busi- ness with a capital of $25,000, divided into 1,000 shares, of $25 each.

We have no doubt that this project will be successfully carned into effect. There are many and obvious reasons why the es- tablishment of a starch factory should be a great benefit to the Province, and a source of profit to those investing money in it. Manufactories of this kind are flourishing in other parts of the Dominion, and also in the United States. No part of the centi- nent can compare with this Island in_pro- ducing the raw material from which starch is manufactured—potatoes—either in qual- ity or quantity. If once in operation

there is not the © slightest doubt that it would yield a good return forthe money invested, besides afford-

ing a market. at ourgvery door for a large portion of the» surplus of one of our chief products. Without any special eiiort being put forth by the promoters of the enter- prise, about 300 shares, representing about $7,000, have already been taken up. Among those who have subscribed are are the fol- lowing gentlemen :—In Charlottetown, Hon. J. FB. Robertson, 20 shares; Hon. J. C. | Pope, 25; John P. Irving, Esq.,5; P. W.
