An effort, however, is being made to bring t the lowest possible figure consistent with efficiency in public service. It is under- stood that the Finance Minister, who has always been regarded as a rigid econimist, has requested the heads of departments t be apecially vigilant in the supervision of the estimates. By this way, it is hoped to largely decrease the cost of administra tion, not by a general reduction, which like the rain, shall fall upon the just and the estimates uown ¢ unjust alike, but by wisely conceived cur- tailments of expenditure wherever such are possible. —Asasample of the outrageous man- ner in which the finances of the Prov- ince are appropriated, we may instance the statersent demanded by Mr. Shaw relative to kerosene for lighting Pr nce St. ferry wharf. By the statement submitted it appears that 1584 gallons were pur- chased by the Government at 18 cents per gailon. When that it from Messrs. Fenvell & Chandler that the purchase was made, at 2 cents per gallon in advance of the retail price in this city, we may justly declare unjust favoritism to have been shown. But when we find that it was bought by the wine measure, which is one-fifth smaller than the im- perial gallon, it is simply outrageous, though characteristic of the Peters combin- ation. The petty jobbery in this connec- tion argues greater jobbery in the carpet matter, about which information bas been asked in vain. we censider was — A few years ago when Mr. Peters and his friends were out of office and the Liberal-Conservatives were leaving the taxes in the pockets of the people and obtaining from Ottawa amounts to replen- ish the treasury and practically increase the capital ef the Province, everything was wrong in the eyes of these gentlemen. Now when the people are, without their Own sanction, the subjectsof unfair and unscientific taxation; when the Provincial debt iz increased to apwards of $400,000, and still increasing ; when the roade, bridges and public works are, neglected ; when jobbery is the rule; when the public lands office is fast being reduced to a state of hopeless ruin; and when our capital at Ottawa is being cut— down every- thing is lovely in the eyes of these same geatlemen and “ the goose honks high.” The taxpayers are not in such high spirits. Every thoughtful man is full of anxiety for the future of the country. Heavy per- manent and floating debts are,year by year, becoming heavier ; and taxes which are now high, must be higher unlesé another policy be adopted. OO TT MEETING OF PRESBYTERY. At the session on Tuesday afternoon, the Presbytery disapproved of the General Assembly’s remit in re the Jewish Stand- ing Committee. Rev. Mr. Mason submitted a report on temperance, which was received and the following recommendajion adopted : “ That the Presbytery urge the members to bring before their congregations the importance and necessity of having scien- tific temperance taught in all the Public Schools, and to instruct the people in their duty is this respect.” Mr. Mason gave notice of a anent woman suffrage. Calls from Mount Stewart, Richmond Bay Wesi and Covehead in favor of Rev. Malcolm MacKenzie were sustained, and were ordered to be transmitted by the clerk. : Rev. J. F.

Publist n the chair. Mr. McKinrgon moved the following solution ;— aa re- Whereas, It was provided by the Rail- way Act of [871 thata line of railroad should be constructed to connect Alberton with Georgetown touching at Summerside and Charlottetown, and that so soen as this line should be completed, the Railway should be extended to Souris and Tiguish; ind the revenue of the Coleny was pledged for the construction of the said road and ts extension. And whereas, The act provides that after the said line and its extensions should have been completed, the Railway should be extended to such other places as should be designated by an Act or by Resolution to be entered upon the Journals of the Legislature. And whereas, The Murray Harbor Dis- tin King’s County, and the Belfast and Fort Agustus Districts in Queen’s County » the south of the Hillsborough River stitute the largest area of the Island that is still without the facilities and bene- fits of a Railway. And whereas, the Government of the Dominion of Canada, since Prince Edward Island entered into Confederation, has ex- pended very large in railroads, eanals and public works over and above the amounts taken into consideration for those purposes at the time of making up the financial arrangement between the Dominion and the then Celony of Prince Edward Island, and a comparatively small over-expenditure has been spent in Prince Edward Island; and if Prince Edward Island received its fair share of such over-expenditure, a very large sum and much more than sufficient to build a Branch Railway through the districts hereinbefore designated would be ine and is justly owing to Prince Edward Island. Therefore Resolved, that in the opinion of this House the people of these parts ef the Island residing in the Murray Harbor District in King’s County, and in Belfast and Fort Augustus Districts in Queen’s Couuty, are entitled to the same railway facilities that have, under the Railway Act, at the common expense of themselves and the rest of their fellow-colonists, been affurded toand are enjoyed by the. people residing in those parts of the Island now traversed by the said Railway and its ex- tensions. Resolved Further, that in the opinion of this House the Parliament of Ganada should, in view of the facts above set forth, construct a Branch Railway through the aforesaid Districts sums sum of such Mr. McKinnon supported the resoludion in a lengthy speech. He pointed out that the people of the Murray Harbor district were nonest in their opposition to the rail- way at the time it was being built, for they believed the building of the road would drive them either into bankruptcy or confederat- ion,either one of which they looked upon as a great evil. He did notthink, however, that the views they held at that time should stand in the way of their receiving justice now. They were entitled to the railway beyond the shadow of a doubt. He then reviewed the claims this prov- ince had upon the Dominion, and said that if justice were done us in the matter not only would the southern railway be built but we would be entitled to a snug sum over and above the amount necessary for that purpose. ; At the evening session Mr. McKinnon continued the debate, pointing out the dis- advantages which the people of the Mur- ray Harbor district labored under by reason of their lack of railway accom- modation. He also referred to the large sums paid by the Dominion Governmeat for railways and canals in the other Prov- ces to the construction and maintenance of which the people of this Province had to contribute. The people of the Murray Harbor district have a good case—they constitute about one-fifth of the popula- tion, and they are without a railway. This state of affairs should no longer be allowed to continue. The people whom he had the honor to represent should receive their just rights in the matter of railway accom- modation. Mr. H. C. Macdonald seconded the resolution introduced by Mr. McKinnon. He pointed out that the cost of constructing the railway was $1,153,000, some $630,600 of which the people on the south side of the Hillsborough contributed without a murmur. Notwithstanding this they are yet without railway facilities themselves. He did not think this was right or just, and he hoped they would soon receive their rights in this respect. Mr. Mac- donald also reviewed the operations af the Hillsborough ferry and took exception to some remarks made regarding it by the hon. members from Cape Traverse and New Perth. Mr. A. J. Macdonald had had an eppor- tunity when the railway was first proposed of attending some meetings in the Murray Harbor district, and had then heard the people of that section—who were now ask- ing for railway accommodation—opposing the construction ef the railway. Since that time they had changed their opposi- tion into an agitation in Yavor of a branch to that section. There are other parts of the country that should also have branch lines of railway, such as Elmira in King’s County. He was surprised that the hon. members from East Point do not favora branch railway to that section. There is also a strong feeling in favor of a rail- way to Rustico, and the representatives of that section should press the claim for that branch. He did not know that this was the proper place to agitate for the construction of branch railways, as it was a matter for the consideration of the Dominion Government. The policy of the Liberal-Conservative party had been to build branch railways where they were EXAMINER needed, and that policy had been stren- by the Liberals of the House of Commons. They opposed the building of the Cape Breton R ailway, saying it was a political move to further the interests of the Government; but time has shown that it is a good paying road. These hon. gentlemen who are now agitat- ing for “o Railway for Belfast Murra Harbor are trying to the clothes of the Liberal-Conservatives. It is well known that it is the policy of the Liberal Conservatives to build a railway to Belfast and Murray Harbor. He was surprised that the junior member for Bel- fast had occupied the time of the House in discussing the Southport Ferry instead of advozating the building ofa road that would be of so much advantage to his con- stituents, The less said about the expen- diture on the ferry the better it would be forthe Government. The expenditure on that ferry last year amounted to about $28,000, nearly as much as was collected for land tax. The rate of ferriage is made low because there is no railway to that sec tion; but the people of Belfast and Murray Harbor do not get any great benefit from t It is the people who live near uthport who get the most benefit from it. They get season tickets at very low rates, and the people of Murray Har- por have to pay full fare. He consider d it unjust to the people of other sections that s0 much money was spent on that ferry. Hen. Mr. McLean favorable to the people on the south side of the Hillsborough getting the fullest measure of justice, but he failed to see how the passing of the resolution before the House would help them much. He would like to see them get all the railway fucilities possible, The people of the New London .istrict were also desirous of hav- ing a branch railway built, and in other sections branches were also desired. There was nothing whatever in the Elmira rail- way survey. He denied that Souris was especially favored in the matter of the ex- penditure of public money, as had been in- timated, and said that only such improve- ments were made there as were absolutely uously opposed and steal < ferry. 2s said he was always necessary. Hon. Mr. Farquharson expressed him- selfas being in full sympathy with the resolution muved by Mr. McKinnon. The pessing of such resolutions as that would let the Dominion Government the wishes of the people in respect to the mat- ter. He referred to the present ferry ac- see and Bell took part in the discussion which followed. House took reces Mr. Peters gave notice that he will move that the House resolve itself into a com mittee of the whole to consider the advis- ability of intro lucing an act for the pro- tection of sheep by imposing a tax on dogs. -_-———-- -- sik MCKENZIE BOWELL’S CRAFTY ANSWER That the election would take place some time between this and 1897 marks the Uncertainty as to the astute politician. date is a little aggravating, but personal comfort, to the ordinary citizen, appeals more powerfully than any political _ ques tion; and Rigby Porous Waterproofs are the perfection of comfort on @ rainy day® No other name, no other claim, can be con- breath with Rigby. waterproofing pro ventilation, wear.

Mr. Bell also expressed himself as in favor of the resolution. The Dominion should give us back the money they wrongfully taken from us, and then we could build branch railways. He also spoke at some length respecting the Hills- borough ferry, reittrating and backing up what he had previously said on the sub- ject. Mr Rogers (Alberton) spoke of the goo: shipping facilities enjoyed by the people of Belfast and Murray Harbor as compared | with other places in the western part of the Province. He thought thata branch railway should be built from O’Leary to West Cape, and moved an amendment to that effect. Mr McWilliams seconded the amend- ment proposed by Mr Rogers, and spoke in favor of then extension. Hon Mr Richards also spoke in approv- ‘ , Government whave alofthe branch to West Cape. It was much needed and wouli be a great boon. ion Mr Laird also spoke in favor of the amendment. Hon Mr Peters, Mr H C Macdonaid and others suggested that the amendment be withdrawn for the present and introduced later on as a separate resolution. Mr Rogers declined to accept the sugges- tion. Mr Arthur Peters put inaclaim for a branch to Greenwich, in the St Peter’s district. Mr Shaw referred to the change that had come over the people of Belfast in the mat- ter of railways. He pointed out that it was not so long ago since some of the people who were now advocating the building of a branch south of the Hilisborough were tierce in their denunciation of the railway. The people of that section began advocat- ing fora branch to Belfast and Murray Harbor some time ago,but the agitation waz denounced by the Liberal party and its pres;. The Liberal-Conservative party were in harmony with the project, however, and he hoped the railway would be granted at the very earliest opportunity. The DVom- inien Government had done much for the development of Canada by building rail ways, and now that this province had a representative in the Cabinet he felt sure the matter of a branch to Belfast would be more fully enquired iato than ever before He would give the resolution his most hearty support, believing, as he did, that the people of Belfast and Murray Harbor were entitled to railway accommodation as well as the people of other sections of the province. He would like however, if the resolution went further and included branches to East Point, West Cape and Rustico. Hon. Mr. Gordon also spoke warmly in support of the branch railway to Belfast. He referred to the part he had taken in the battle for the railway some years ago when the railway cry was not so popular as it is now, ard said it would have been just as easy to have built a branch to Belfast then as it was to extend the line to Tignish and other places. But the Belfast representatives were opposed to the railway, and consequently it was not built. Elmira was also in need of a branch railway, and the claims of that place should be carefully considered. It gave him great pleasure to suppert the resolution before the Hou-e. The discussion was continued by Messrs. Bianchard, McLaughlin, Aitken, McKin- non, Bell and Farquharson. Mr. Blancherd could not see why Mr. Rogers should be asked to withdraw his amendment. The people of West Cape had as much right to ask for a branch railway as the people of the Belfast dis- trict. Hon. Mr. Farquharson moved that Mr. Rogers have leave to withdraw his motion, The Speaker put the motion, which was declared carried on _ the following division :— Ayes—Peters, McLean, Farquharson, tegers (city), Forbes, Bell, A. Peters, Robertson, Aitken, Wise, Prowse, War- burton, McKinnon, MeLaughlan, H. © McDonald, Godkin. Nays—Rogers (Alberton) Laird, Rich- ards, McWilliams, Gordon, Shaw, A. J. Macdonald, J. A.

House went into committee on the bill to incorporate the Bedford Hall Company. lhe bill was reported agreed to. Hen. Mr. Farquharson moved the second reading of the bill to amend the Medical Act, and explained its provisions, arguing strongly against protection to doctors and in favor of the right of the people to em- ploy any physician.
