BS” We do not hold ourselves responsible for the opinions or statements of our correspondents,

Keep it Before the People. T'o the Elitor of the Examiner ;

Sir, —It is somewhat amusing to observe the fulsome style and manner in which the Patriot Kditor writes, in reference to the five illus- trous heroes by which this Island has been misrepresented at Ottawa for the last five years. Perssns who are ignorant of the facts of the case might be led to imagine that those celebrated fire were the very paragons of poli- tical periection,and that their exquisite politi- cal genius and brilliant oratory had been in- dustriously employed in protect*ng the public exchequer from being tnoroughly depleted by the skillful and daring operations of an organ? ized gang of political jugglers. .

Now, Sir, it is no use for the Patriot man to attempt to deceive himself or the public any longer. The stern logic of /faets will have more weight with the clectors than all that he can say or write, during his lifetime, about the wonderful ability and efficient statesmanship of Messrs. S_nclair, Davies, Yeo, Perry, nam McIntyre. Where were those champion statesmen, when McKenzie, the man, who, when in opposition, pronounced,in unmeasured terms, the spending of public money without the consent of Parliament? I ask where were those five wonderful guardians of the public when McKenle announced to the House of Commons that he had purchased 50,000 tons of Steel Rails without its knowledge or consent? And that, too, through a firm of which Mckenzie’s brother was a partner! Did Sinclair, Davies & Co. even ask for an expla- nation from the Government for such an extra- ordinary proceeding--a proceeding for which there is neither palliation nor excuse. 50,000 tons of Steel Rails bought by McKenzie, when they were not required, at about seventy dollars aton. The same arti- cles could be laid down in Montreal to-day for half the money; and as Sinclair, Davies, etc., sustained the ‘Organized Hypocrisy” in all their infamous transactions, they must take the consequences. ‘Then, again, the Govern- ment decided to make a present of the railroad from Truro to Pictou to any company that would extend the line to the Gut of Canso. This, we consider, was quite a princely offer. But in addition to this, after the offer was ac- cepted by a company, the Government of economy, morality and retrenchment went to work and relaid it with 4,900 tons of the cele- brated steel rails, costing upwards of $280,00°, and then made the whole a present to the com- pany. NSinelair, Davics & Co. were parties to this very generous and honorable transactior. How generous those gentlemen are with the public money. Keep it before the people, that million of dollars of the public money, wrung from the taxpayers of the Dominion, has been literally squandered upon relatives and political favorites of the government of purity, morality and reform. And the distinguished

five so profoundly impressed with their own

utter insignificance and regarded with super- lative contemy*+ by the government because they were its rightful boughten property, dared not open their mouths, but like the animals that ornament the tops of Mr. Palmer’s gate posts, couldn’t utter a single bark, though the country was being fleeced right and left. No doubt some of these gentlemen will have the impudence to present themselves to the ground down taxpayers of this Island for re- election. Very well. Let them come. But let them be advised that they will have to answer some pretty tough questions, the fol- lowing among others :—

1. What about the five thousand tons of steel rails now rotting on Vancouver Island, that cost the country upwards of three hun- dred and fifty thousand dollars ?

2. Why are you going on with the Fort Francis lock after it has been demonstrated that it is perfectly useless?

3. Why did you, Sinclair, Davies, Yeo, Perry, ete.. give ’oster one hundred and nine thousand dollars for what is known as the Georgian Bay Branch Swindle ?

4. Why did you give seventy thousand dol- lars for the Kaministiquia wilderness lands, when you knew that it was an outrage on com- mon decency ?

5. Why did you give between five and six thousand dollars for the Neebing Hotel, when you knew that no such thing existed ?

6. Why do you give your support to a Gov- ernment that pays seven hundred and twenty- one thousand six hundred dollars for what their predecessors did for five hundred and eighty-seven thousand dollars ?

7. Why do you support a Government whose yearly expenditure exceeds its income by a million and a half of dollars ?

These are some of the questions—and others are in reserve—with which these paragons of political perfection will be vigorous- ly plied when they come before the people; and we doubt very much whether the cry, ‘‘Come along, John,” ‘Come down hand. somely,” ‘‘We must make a big push,” will help them any.

Yours, etc., OnE Wuo TuHIinNks,

nn DOL oe -—-—

Cedar Shingles.

To the Editor of the Examiner.

Srr,-—The attention of the public has been called by Mr. Richard Weeks to the cedar shingles that are now being prepared for the roof of the new asylum. Mr. Weeks might have told the public that sawn shingles of any kind are not fit for a roof. There are knot holes and shakes to injure the sawn shingles that the split ones are free from. It is evident, and every mechanic knows this to be true. I would ask what is the reason of this departure from the celebrated specifications, that they were to be split pine, and that of py Some best quality. The pine would cost over six dolfirs per thousand, and the sawn cedar ones would cost about the half of that. Is this fair play towards the parties that tendered for the work? I say it is not. It is like the fresh water sand and the hand burned bricks, and

other things, such as four inspectors to fill one |

man’s place. I have heard that it took so meny tailors to make a man, but I never knew that it took two engineers, one architect and a stone-cutter—to make a man, or an Iaspector. Long since J heard the old Say* ing “‘ too many cooks spoil the broth.” I must next turn to an editorial in the Argus, of the 11th of June; and in it he admits that in April last, the foundation of the said Asylum was not so perféct as it ought to have been.

Yes, sir. Every one that saw the work says the same. But he tells the public that the work was not intended to be built upon. It required the winter’s frost to test it. Who can believe such strange nonsense as this ? No matter who it comes from. Can any architect be so far from sane as to compel any contrac- tor to pile up six thousand dollars worth of stone work, on purpose to test its quality? What sort of an Architect is he, if he did not know what kind of stone would stand winter ? He says that they have taken allfthe defective stones out, and replaced good ones. Now, 1 will the give the public to understand that no man can take out a stone from the wall,and put another in, as solid as the first was. So that the more they pryed out, the worse they made the wall. This is my experience.

He says that to-day it presents as substantial

and finished a piece of work as any work found on the Island. Let us pause. Wonderful !

What has taken place? I saw the work my-

self; and bad it was. Now, the question

comes, whois the best judge in this case—

myself or the editor of the Argus? The read-

er shall be the judge. According to their own statements, they have not pulled down the wall, but they have taken out the bad stone.

And what has been done with the bad bonded stone in the angles? They would have to

come out before the work would be goed ; and

what about the bad packing in the heart of the wall? How did they remedy that ? Why,

it would take a ship load of sand-lime or ce-

ment to make mortar or grout to make a solid

wall of it. Inits present state it will be an excellent race-course for the rats to hide in.

Sir, you must not brag of your work while

those blemishes remain as they were at first.

Do you think that a little pointing with mor-

tar can make a bad piece of work a good one ?

is the public foolish, do you think? He again

bursts ont, saying: ‘‘We defy any reasonable

man to fault the work as it now stands.” I

must inform, you, sir, that I feel it my duty

to come and find fault with it as it now stands,

I must tell you that a bad piece of stone-work

cannot be made a good piece of work unless

pulled down and built anew. Now, sir, I am

positive on this point. I think my experience

will bear me out in this assertion, You close

your editorial by saying that the work is to te

done to the satisfaction of Mr. Cunningham,

the Railway Engineer, and Mr. Bailey.

I would just remark that Mr. Cun.

niughom was one ef those persons that condemned the stone and also the work.

What is the matter? Has he got mortar‘in his eyes, or is he looking through another set of glasses? If the work is to be done to his satisfaction—and it has not been pulled down —how can it be to his satisfaction now? The’ thing is impossible ; it is complete bosh to sey anything of the kind. I will close by advising the writer of the said editorial, when he writes again, to give us some men of experience, and not so much of his own judgment—that is

worth nothing. Yours,

CHARLES HEARTz.

Ch’town, June 25.

A PrupEent Person.—A friend of mine went a few days back to have a tooth filled. The dentist advised him that he had better have the tooth taken out, and assured him that he would feel no pain if he took laugh- ing gas.

‘* But what is the effect of the gas?” ask- ed my friend.

‘* It simply makes you totally insensible,”’ remarked the dentist, ‘‘ you don’t know anything that takes place.”

My friend submitted ; but. just previous to the gas being administered he put his hand in his pocket and pulled out his money.

** Oh don’t trouble about that now,” said the dentist, thinking he was going to be paid his fee.

“* Not at all,” he remarked; ‘‘1 was simply going to see how much I had before the gas took effect.”

The great long drive on the upper waters of the Connecticut has formed a jam at South Vernon, Vt., against the piers of the Ashuelot Railroad Bridge at that place. There are from 10,000,000 to 13,000,000 feet of logs in the raft. The jam extends for half a mile up the river, occupying the entire width of the channel, and is estimated to be from ten to fifteen feet thick. Fears for the safety of the bridge are entertained but a large force of men are at work en- deavoring to break up the jam.
