Tueke is one questionable feature of the public accounts which, for obvious reasons, we postponed for consideration “after the budget had been delivered. It is the item of $3,332.50 paid as interest due the banks. This amount is slightly over one and one-third per cent. of the whole yearly revenue of the Province, aud is much too large a “ slice’ to go for banking accommodation. It would pay for two more horses like ‘‘ Stockman,” or quite a nice herd of well bred cattle. To pay so much away as interest is pot good financing. This will be the more readily admitted when it is remembered that our revenue is for the most part fixed,and that it is re- ceived in advance,in ready money, at fixed periods. We sbould, therefore, under ordinary circumstances, pay as we go; aud on good principles of economy we ought, instead of being in debt to the banks, to have, at times, considerable amounts to our credit. We are free to admit that, under ex- ceptional circumstances, the contrary may, for atime, bethecase. If thereare large amounts due the Previace, it is bet- ter to collect them than to tax the people ; if there be delay in making collection, it may be better to pay interest to the banks in the meantime, than to pay the cost of collecticg taxes. Weare are also free to admit that the Leader of the Government has pretty clearly shown that these exceptional cir- cumstances exist at the present time. He has shown that the Province has large assets, and he maintains that they should be realized before the people are taxed. The question of the probability of being able to collect the debts due the Province is one to be considered. The Government make no doubt that if they continue in power they will be able to do so; and as they have succeeded in like circums‘ances, we have no right to con- clude that they will fail now. At any rate, the people will wish them success, and we have no doubt assist them by giving them a hearty support.’ The receipt ot $125,000, as antiti- pated by the Government, will enable the Province to get out of debt. But if, by any mishap, the Government should fail in its efforts, resort must, we assume, be had to direct taxation of the people. We are far from taking a gloomy view of the financial position of the Province. By the reduction of the expenditure on Legislation one-half, the present debt of the Proviace would, as we have already pointed out, to be practically wiped out. But we need not say that if our expenditure exceed our receipts, year after year, the result must, in the end, be serious for the taxpayers. Therefore, while we ask the taxpavers to give to the Government their hearty support in the effort to collect the debts due the Province, we counsel the Gov- erument to reduce, still further, if it be possible, the Provincial Establishment, and to continue administering public aflairs with the utmost care and economy. We note with great pleasure that a Bill providing for the reduction of the Legislature is to be introduced by the Government. The taxpayers, at least, will earnestly hope that its introduction will not be postponed until it is too late to carry it through, and that it will pro- vide that the reduction be made at once. The Inch Arran Slander. Resrecrine the ‘Inch Arran Scandal’ (s0-called) the Parliamentry correspon- dent of the Montreal Gazette writes :— “The sudden collapse this morning, in the public accounts committee of Mr. Davies’ charge in connection with the granting of tickets over the Intercolonial railway to persons proceeding to the Inch Arran hotel, has been the subject of great merriment among Ministerialists and the very fresh member from Prince Edward Island has been chaffed unmercifuliy by his friends at his discovery of a mare’s nest, “That’s a pretty thin scandal,’ said one Ontario Grit as he emerged from the committee room. ‘Did you hear the fall? asked another of afellow member of the Opposition, referring facetiously to the collapse of the case, and, iudeed, a more utter failure than Mr. Davies made could not be imagined. He labored, it is true, under the disadvantage of hav- ing undertaken to champion the cause of a rail- way clerk dismissed for drunkenness, ‘among other causes, and who sought to revenge himself by uttemng calaumnies against the chief officials of the Intercolonial, but he thoroughly deserved the ignominy with which he has covered himself because of the manner in which he conducted the ease. He acted throughoutasa lawyer for the prosecution, not as a member of Parliament,striv- ing to bring out evidence against prominent Goverrment employes that woal reflect on the Conservative Party, Jbadgering Mr. Robinson, whose evidence exposed the untruth- fulness of the charges, putting words in witness- es’ mouths which they did not utter, and gene- rally conducting himself as a police court lawyer, and a very undignified one at that. Much of Mr. Davies’ usefulness as a parliamentarian is des- troyed by his intense partisanship which betrays itself on every occasion and has been particularly conspicuous in the proceedings of the privileges and elections committee and in the public ac- counts committee. The desire of a member of parliament one would suppose would be to have prominent government railway oflicials cleared of even a suspicion of wrong§doing in the discharge of their duties, yet Mr. Davies, by most unfair treatment of witnesses and distortion of language, appears to aim only at blacketiing the character of those he deems politically hostile. The evi- dence of Mr. Robinson, the Intercolonial railway agent at Montreal, disclosed all the facts of the case, which are briefly these: That in October, 188i, a free ticket was issued to a journalist, who visited summer resorts on the Intercolonial rail- way forthe purpose of making their attractions known, that four half-rate tickets were, the same mouth, issued to servants of the Inch Arran hotel, and that in June and July, 1835, yme twenty half-rate tickets were also issued to servants of the house, This concession was made by the Grand Trunk Railway also, and has been granted from time to time by the Intercolonia! since 1876, the servantsof the St. Lawrence Hall at Cacouna always obtaining a half fare. At the close of the season the account is presented by the railway company te the hotel, and paid, just or was done in this case, the money being paid oo bexinning of December last, It will aaguy understo » intere Intercoloni: stood that the interest of the alis promoted by the establi hotels at the watering . “the line and that everything should | erection of these. »laces along the line and x done to encourage the are in the habit ot Railways in the United States Sheus im oodes of building hotels and operating Seaade a set to attract and secure travel, and in companies ‘© Practice of railway and steamship emplovess —- always been to grant out rates to single tours these summer hotels, but not a Ourigt to Dalhousie ané Inch Arran house obtained ick ail over the ia erecta concession of any kind — ItlyY GS iIeeea Editorial Notes. —Mr. Justin McCarthy says the more the Eoglish study Irish history, the more they become convinced that the granting of Home Rule to Ireland would make her a friend and not a foe. —Seventy-eight students graduated from Queen’s Universsty, Kingston,Oct., this year, twenty more than the highest number in any former year, The revenue also shows agratifying growth, having increased from $7,000, in 1870 to $20,- 000 for the current yaar. — According to the Halifax Mail, the present local administration of Nova Scotia with $120,000 a year more than the previous government, have, while paying off not half the amount of floating debt, only succeeded in adding $11,000a year to the read and bridge grant ! —L’Etendard, of Montreal thinks that, in the event of Sir Alexander Campbell’s resignation as leader of the Government in the Senate, Hon. Mr. Howlan would make a good successor. It states that French Canadians need not hope to obtain the position, as they are in disfavor witb Sir Join. —Commenting on the fizzled Inch Arran scandal, and the espousal of it by Mr. L. H. Davies, the Montreal Gazette says: “Itis a pity, in a way, that his (Mr. Davies’) hopes of making a name for himself this session have been so completely shattered. The extreme warmth and energy with which he espoused the cause of the revengeful and uazreliable Cormier have been wholly wasted, and his zeal for his party has served only to make him ridiculous. He will probably be more careful in future.” —It now appears that the pressure of public opinion and the protests of its indignant subscribers—indignaut at being purposely left in darkness—has been too much even for the Patriot. The suppressed report of the debate on the delegation correspondence is pub- lished at last. Butit is all one-sided, as usual. The able, interesting and in- structive speech of Hon. Mr. Sullivan is disposed of in thirteen lines, Hon. Mr. Gordon, Hon. Mr. Prowse, Mr. Bentley and Hov. Mr. McLeod share forty-one lines between them, and Hon. Mr. Fer- guson’s able exposition of the subject is reported in seven lines. The Patriot lets its light shine upon only one side. —Everybody who followed the tariff discussions of 1877, 1878 and 1879, re- members how tae Reform politicians protested that protection would cause everything to be dear, and how that Canada would no longer be a, cheap country to live iv. Well, in spite of this, the Port Hope organ of the party rises to remark: ‘We notice that a few of the old Protectionist cranks are now seeking to bolster up the ‘lost cause’ by saying that goods are cheaper now than they were two or three years ago— cheaper than ever, in fact. That may be quite true. It is one of the results that was predicted of the N. P. tariff,” For sublime indifference to fact, this is equal to anything the Reform party has yet accomplished. —It is the intention, says an Ottawa correspondent, of the Canadian Pacific Railway at the close of the session to invite the members of Parliament and the press gallery to a trip over the rail- way to the Rocky Mountains. As the counection between the Government and the railway will have ceased before that time, it will not be possible to accuse the railway people of aiming at influen- cing Parliament in any way by such hospitality. With the coming repay- ment of the $30,000,000 loan, the rail- way will be clear of all indebtedness to the Government and of all bondage to it, and will take its place as a purely private enterprise. The trip of the members of Parliament over the road will, for the company, be merely an advertisement, while for the members of Parliament it will be an opportunity to obtain an idea ot the extent, nature and resources of the North-West such as could not be readily obtained to the same extent iu any other way. —Another “Pacilie’ railway is project- ed—but not io America. The scheme is a Russian one, now being considered in St. Petersburg and Moscow, and its aim is the construction of a Russian Pacific railroad, running east through Siberia to the Pacific ocean and formiog the last link in a round-the-world rail- way system. At a recent meeting in St. Petersburg ot the *‘ Society for Pro- moting Russian Trade and Commerce,” of which Count Ignatieff is president, the necessity and feasibility of the eon- atruction of such a road were satisfac. torily presented. The cost @wiil be enormous, and the road will be run through many hundred miles of bleak and barrea country, but there are no insuper- able obstacles in the way, and the Russians feel that they will be repaid by the opening up of a portion of the Empire which has hitherto been only a penal eolony. Russian merchants especially advocate it as a work of necessity, made more imperative with the completion of each new railroad across the American continent. It is needless to say that the military consid- eration is by no means en unimportant one, Russsia is ever ready, regardless of cost, to add to the facilities for the transport of troops to the confines of ber vast territories.

In the House of Commons, on the 3rd inst., after the Canada Pacific resolution had passed committee without a division of amendment, and upon McLelan moving the house into committee of supply, Blake rose and apoke at length upon the Irish quer- tion. He referred to the great statesman who leads Her Majesty’s Government in the Imperial Parliament, and his plan for the settlement of the Irish grievances. He} would prefer many matters of detail other than those that had been proposed. He read largely from Giladstone’s recent manifesto, and concluded by moving an address assuring Her Majesty of Canada’s interest in Ireland and hailing with joy the efforts to settle the Irish question, so as to conduce to the peace, happiness and prosperity of the Empire. Sir John said Blake's statement that he moved not 28 a party man was not borne out by the fact that he (Blake had said he had waited in hopes that the government side would bring it up. He (Blake) had moved in amendment to supply, thus springing a question of great importance, He (Sir John) stated that he would vote against Blake’s amendment if urged now. But he would give Blake a day in the future to discuss the question fully when members were prepared to speak upon that question. As things stood now, and-as Blake had acted, it was evident that Blake’s object was not the good of Ireland, but the hope to catch the Lrish vote in Canada. Tho course pursued by Blake was calculated to injure the cause of Irelan 1. Costigan said he had moved his reso- lution in a previous session after full notice. He called together all the Irish representatives in parliament and discuss- ed the subject with them, being careful to avoid anything like party politics. To-day, however, Blake, without consult- ing the Irish representatives in the Houses, without making any arrangements that would indicate that he (Blake) de- sired to lift the question away from and beyond party politics, with the evident purpose of making party capital out of the matter if be could, had sprung the question on an unprepared House. Biake finally agreed to Sir John’s request. NN A Desperate Convict at Large. A sensation was caused in Montreal by the report that Viau, the leader of the recent revolt at St. Vincent de Paul pevitentiary, had escaped, and was now at large. He was confined in a solitary cell, shackled and manacled. © But not- withstanding this, he managed to remove about 15 bricks and two or three stone blocks with some knives he had conceal- ed, and crept through the aperture into the prison yard, where, taking a rope about 50 feet long, he climbed to the roof of the north wing and passed along to the skylight in the main building, and here he made knots in the rope to faci- litate hia descent, and swinging himself off alighted 30 feet below. He is a most hardened crimival, and will probably not be re-captured. [t is generally believed the guards got him out of the way before the government investigation begins, as he could give particulars of the recent plot, which would not be to the credit of the authorities. _—_—e es Summerside Exports.
