JULY 7, pave Contradictory Explanations ir may not be out of place to give & sum- mary of the contradictory stories told by the Government regarding the shortage In the a un »§ the Public Lands Othce. Che first plea was that the discrepancy arose from interest falling due at different ate within the year. The anawer to this was that interest on sll accounts fell due at some date within the year, as in former years, and would of course be charged The second plea was that a similar short- age occurred in the year 1885. this was that 1888 was f the Strong defalcatiors. The answer to one of the years The third plea denied the shortage alto gether, and the Patriot claimed that the Land Ottice had paid $489.00 intot he Trea- sury in excess of money actually received by the Department. Patriot ; the lhe answer to this was that the vundered as usual, counting same item, amounting to $4,903 00, twice. (he fourth plea was that the balance de- clared due on the 3ist December, 1890, by Mr. Bantley, was wreng by s yeral thou- sands of dollars, hence the ehortage in 1891 The answer to this was that the balance was verified Arnaud on the 3lst December, 1889, by the Commissioners, Messrs. ind Carvell, and no discrepancy cccurred in L3Svv. The fifth plea was that Messrs. Curvell snd Arnaud had found errors in the Town- ship Ledgers, and the shortage was due to these Phe answer to this was that these alleged errors being still uncorrected would not af- fect the balance in any way. Che sixth plea was that further defalca- tions of the late Assistant Commissioner, R. A. Strong, had cropped up and caused a shortage. * Che answer to this plea was that any old lefaleations discovered in 1891 would cail for direct credit entries in the ledgers, but as no cash could be forthcoming for theee transactions, there could be no correspon d- ing entries made in the cash book. {f Mr. Balderston’s report is any author- ity, these defaleations could not amount to more than ** eleven cents. that Mr this nature But, assuming Balderston is all wrong, items of most to would not amount at more than $250 or $300, and could not ex- plain away a shortage of $4 500. Is it any wonder that the public have become weary of these flimsy, evasive and contradictory explanations ! —_—_—_—__—- +9: ~The circulation, deposits, discounts and : } ’ investments of the Merchants Bank of Canada allincreased during the past year; and the comparisons made in the following statement show that the progress of the Mer- chants’ Bank has been rapid and continuous : Deposits in 1880 were.... ..... $7 296,000 re et s . 6,574,000 “ Is90 . 9,310,000 $6 is92 * 10.644,000 Cireulation in 1S&9 waa 2.127 ,000 os 1890 * 2 563 000 ae 1962 °* ‘ 2,731,000 Discounts and advances in 1880 10.822 000 % “ 1899... 16.249.000 ” " 1892... 16.766,000 Total earning power in 1880 was 12,861.000 #6 66 18990 *€ 18,478,000 at 1892 “ 20,117,000 This record, in the face of sharp competi- tion, shows that the country has not been altogether ruined by the N.

East Wiltshire School. An examination of the above mentioned school teok place on Wednesday, 27th inet. Owing to the fact that a party left the come munity on a picnic excursion, and other causes, the visitors were not numerous, but being of the more intelligent class were able to appreciate the thoroughness of the work done in the school, ss evidenced by the manner in which the various classes acquitted themselves, If the schola a excelled in eny one thing it was in elocution, and the band of an able and painst:king teacher was discern. able in the strict punctuation and de ‘iberation with which the fourth, fifth and sixth classes read and recited.

Hansard of June 28ch, will hand down to posterity a true record of the most severe speeches yet delivered in the Canadian Commons. It was one of Sir Richard's greatest efforts aud well calculated to re- duce the good name of Canada, its people and Government, The gallant knight, for one hour and a quarter, in sesthing words, denounced the Goverament and the elec- torate as being hopelessly corrupt and pur- posely dishonest. Tha blue ruin cry with Canadian degeneracy, was copiously depicted in words of great earnestness, distinctly uttered in tones above G., whilst the temperature of the speaker was evi- dently above blood heat. The country, the Government, the peuple and even the beneh, were severally made to bear the passionate invective, whilst the hvisting of black flags on Dominion Day was vigorous: ly recommended as a fitting emblem of our fallen state. In fact this philippic em- bodied most of, and was a complete recap- itulation of the speaker's many formor epeeches and predictions in this directivo, but so condensed was it, and so heatedly spoken that the attention (reluctantly) of Sir John Thompson was for the time en- gagcd, which brought forth a reply diree'ly bearing on the words and personal attitude of Sir Richard. The rep'y was of such a kind as is likely to greatly lessen the value of Parliamentary invective for the future. it was the most incisive and telling yet heard or recosded in Hansard, where | it must be seen and read over carefully to appreciate its applicability. The special tourist car in charge cf J. Heber Haslam, Erq, en route to the Pacific laid over here yesterday. The tourists greatly en- joyed the day, visiting as they did the Com- mons and Sevate in session, the Library, the Chaudierre and Rideau Falls, lumber mills, &e, &e. : ‘the Pontiac bye-election resulted in a giin for the Government. Mr. Murray, the un seated ex-M. P. P., is the man who secured the sid and advocacy of Mr. Perry recently in Parliament to have the Government pty the $170,009 railway indebtedness due by that spacious county, but no such wild effort on the part of Mr. Murray and foreign stratagem on the part of Mr. Perry could stay the haad of destruction that seems to be pointed at our would-be very honest men in the centre of Canada. It will be but fair for Mr Bryson to advocate something good for Piince County next session in order to recoup Mr. Perry for his far-fetched kindness to Pontiac County during this session.

Hugues Ottawa, Dominion Day, 1892 2 +0+e- Belfast. Sacramental occasions are times of great refreshing and solemnity in the Christian church. That they are sv in the Presby- terian Church was made amply manifest iast Sabbath (first Sabbaih in July) being the day for the observauce of this solemn rite in that beautiful section known as Bel- fast. Truly the people here have united with nature to make the charch grounds and surroundings beautiful. Oa the slop- ing riverside, overlooking a goodly land, stands the old Belfast Church, rich in many raemories of the eventful past and alive to- day in its sacred mission to fallen map. Beautifully shaded by. the maple, beech, birch, fir, spruce, _ pine, &c., verily the worshippers can look up trom nature clad in its most beautiful ap- parel to nature’s God. There rests from their labors in their quiet slumber—‘he aged pioneer uf the forest—wearied with toil —he aged and young that have passed away here rest inquiet solitude. Nor has at- tentiva been forgotten to be bestowed on their lastearthly resting place. Nature has made it beautiful and loving hands have supplemented it by erecting tablets and wonuments to their departed, but rot forgotten, deal. Oa those are truthfully recorded the characteristics and virtues of many 4 father, mother, sister snd _ brother, including that of the pioneer missionary aud servant of Gud—Rev. John Mic- Lennan—to whom is erected a splendid monument of highly polished Aberdeen granite. As the evening raysof the sun play on this memorial of the dead, it re- fiects the most beautiful colors; and its starry sheen ay ina sense be emblem- atical of the glory of this aged patriarch, and his fl ck that followed him—in heaven. At present, uoderthe earnest and un- assuming direction of the Rev. Mr. Me- Lean-Sinclair, the spiritual wanta of the people of this interesting section are faith- fully attended to. His trumpet gives no uncertain sound. In language the most chaste and temperate, he proclaims the Gospel message with fidelity and clearness. His discourse on this solemn occasion was appropriate. His hearers listened with the most devout attention—and it indeed appeared that God was in their midst. The service in the Church was conducted in Geelic, and that in the large large tent conducted by Rev. D. B. Me- Leod in English. There was a large at- tendance. One cannot but be struck with the many aged, though hale and hearty, people here. On the whole, this isa beautiful place to visit. Atany time you ean go there and be surrounded by many things that will contribute to your enjoy- ment. But if you are in serious mood you can pay Belfast a visit on a facramental occasion, and cold are you indeed if you are not benefitted by the association. Long may it fiourish a happy united and pros- perous peop'e.

Srr,—Your articles re the Land Office shortage and other shortcomings of the pre- sent Government have the right ring abou* them, and have awakened an interest in public matters that is truly wonderfui. Still not so much to be wondered at as the determined stand taken by the ‘Little Czsr” to prevent an investigation into the matter. Of course $4,000 or $5,000 to Mr. Peters and his dumintes may be a matter cf small concern; but to tke hard working farmer it means heavier taxes, and heavier taxes mean more hard work, more sweat lost. Verily, the ‘‘combiue” is determined that ‘“‘we shall earn our bread by the sweat of our brow,” and more, they seem deter- mined that they and a few of their boodle friends shall also earn their bread by the sweat of our brows. Is it not a strange thing that a shortage should occur in the **Land Office” when it is known that had it not been for the short- age under the late administration (+ short- age of which Mr. Peters made the most unscrupulous use in his canvass)the ‘‘Little Czar” would still be hunting for a constitagney wth as much prospect of finding one that would elect him as he has of being re-elected for the Fort Augustus district. But if report speaks true his prospects in “this own district” led to his celebrated still-bora gerrymander bill. Oaly $5,000 short in the Land Office; bot that is not all. Is there not tens cf thousands squandered in boudling on roads and bridges ? Why, Sir, you can hardly point to a solitary contract under the Gov- ernment but smells of corruption even more ill-flavored than the Provincial build- ing drain job. Just think how well we are used here. We were promised a circuit of the Couaty Court, bat the act was bungled either through design or stupidity; we always had a steamer call here, but now of course we have none. Has not the autocrat willed it a0; and further, we thought that the Super- indent of Education should have visited our schvol some time through the year, but he did not. But what could be expected from the Superintendent when bis master says ‘Su far shalt thou g> and no farther.” Mors Anon. Mt. Stewart, July 4th, 1892. Oe Information Wanted.
