Decision on the Corn Duties, ee BAITING THE MINISTER OF FISHERIES. oe EE ‘The Minister Successfully Defends Himself. ~~ ome ‘(Special Correspondence of the Examiner.) Orrawa, Feb. 16. in the House of Commons yesterday the principal business was the consideration of Supply. The Opposition objected to every vote, and during the discussion some amus- ing incidents occured. The_Ministers, how- ever, appear to take the criticism of their opponents in very good humor. On Thursday night the division on the ‘Corn Amendment of Dr. Landerkin was taken. By the way, a great laugh was raised when, during the debate, Sir John said the House was getting *‘ pretty well corned.” While the Whips were coliecting the members for tle division, songs were sung by some of the members, and a gene- ral stir was consequently created. You have doubtless heard the result—42 major- ity for the Government. The Opposition are very much dissatisfied with the conduct of some of their principal men, and are more disorganized than ever. Yesterday when the resolution for charges of management of the Marine Department were under consideration, Mr. Davies touk exception to the division of the Marine and Fisheries Departments intotwo several Departments with two deputy heads. He said this was done to perpetrate a job on the country, and would greatly increase the cost of these Departments. The hon. Minister of Marine said that a saving of $50,000 would be effected in consequence of the work in the Departments being more efficiently pertormed. Mn. Mircue.t,of Northumberland, agreed that it was necessary to divide these De- partments, but thought fuller information should be given of some of the changes made in the staff. Mr. Mitchell then went onjto attack the Government for their man- agement of the smelt fishery in New Bruns- wick—but the principal point brought out was that he had formerly been Minister of ‘Marine himself. Mr. Davies attacked the bounties to &shermen, saying that they were no boon to that class. He-said that not fifty per cent. of the amount paid found its way into the fisherman’s pocket. He understood from the hon. member for King’s (Dr. Me- Intyre) that fishermen often had to travel three or four times, a distance of five or six miles to obtain a couple of dollars or so, and the time lost ia obtaining the bounty was actually worth more than the money received. ‘The system was a false one, and the bounty is not beneficial to the fisher- nen. Hon. Mx. Turrer told Mr. Davies very distinctly that he had no experience in managing a departments like those under the control of the Minister of Marine and Fisheries, although, no dcubt, he was look- ing with longing eyes to a seat in the Gov- ernment. Mr. Mitcheli, who had had some experience, considered those depart- ments should be separate, and the member for Queeu’s should not form such hard and fast opinions on matters he knew very little about. The member for Quven’s County was evidently not in touch with the fisher- men of his province, or of the other Mari- time Provinces. He (Mr. Tupper) had re- ceived letter after letter from members of this House, and others interested in the welfare of the fishermen, urging that the distribution of bounties to the fishermen ghould be made great help to many of those who are in this business. have greatly increased, as shown by the returns submitted. The proservation of the fisheries has meurred considerable ex pense, and enormously increased the work ot the department. He then submitted copies of Orders-in-Council (as asked for by Hon. Mr. Mitchell) respecting the preserva- tion of the smelt fishery. bounty paid to fishermen, he had only re- ceived one complaint respecting the man- ner in which it is distributed, .and.<that would be promptly looked to. If the hon. member for Queen’s would. spend a day or two in the several offices in the »départ- ments of Marine and Fisheries, he would see himself there were nO grounds for the attack he had made, and that 4ll the clerks employed “there are reqtired. He again asserted” that the-system ‘new. adopted would save the country $60,000 a Richmond, said the reason why ¢hecks the fact that the year in the fisheries de partment ended on the 3lst December, and consequently considerable time ©! spsed before all the returns were got i and audited. The checks would, however, be sent out this year as early a8 possible Sir Richard Cartwright then attacked the Minister of Fisheries, who seemed to be the special object of attack that evening. Sir Richard made some allusion to Mr. Tup- per’s parentage, saying that if the Minuster were not his father’s son he would net be where he is. This gave the Minisier an opportunity to give Sir Richard a castigat- ing, which hedidin fine style, and th: redoubtable Grit knight collapsed, very red in the face. On the vote to increase the salary of Mr. Perley, Chief Engineer of Public Works, the Island contingent took occasion to raise the question of the wharves auc piers, wanting to know who was responsible for their repair, but got very little satistaction. he Government know that these gentle men are allied with a party that were against the interests of the Province on this matter, as early in the year as possible, for it was aj‘ The duties of these departments, Respecting the} Foner ; “The Minister, in answer to Mr{Flynn, of | they claim attention were not forwarded earlier, Was owing to | VOL. 24.-NO. 75. and consequently have no confidence in their assertons. After recess there was a very thin House, many members having accepted the invi tation of the Directors of the Geological Survey to the conversazione in their rooms at Sussex Stroet. Some nine hundred ladies and gentlemen were in attendance, including the Governor-General, Lady Stanley and the elite of Ottawa. It was a very swell affair, but « horried crush. Music +: supplied by the band of the G. G. F, G., and hght refreshments were pro- vided., The Island members took advantage of the thin hot ‘do some talking. Mr. Perry found { .uit with the amount paid the Lobster Fishery Commission. He said their report was very short. The book containing it was very small and could easily be carried in your pocket, and he wanted to know particularly why so much money had been paid to Mr. Hackett. Mr. Daries attacked the Government for the expenses incurred for cab hire and other contingencies. He also objected to the amount paid for travelling expenses of Ministers, who invariably had free passes over the railways. Ue wanted to know if Ministers travelled on these passes and then charged for travelling expenses Sir John indignantly refuted the charge made by Mr. Davies, and said he was sur prised that any hon. member would make such an assertion. This was the first time I saw the First Minister warmed up, and it evidenced the power he can throw into de bate when occasion requires it. Poor Mr. Davies said he made no such charge; but the cheers of the Government side for their leader drowned almost all Mr. Davies said. Good humor was shortly afterwards re- stored, when Sir John, replying to Mr. Wilson, of Elgin, who charged that the Prime Minister’s cab hire was excessive, said he was too poor to keep horses, tov old to walk, and that while he remained in the public service, he thought the country would pay his cab hire. This aroused loud cheers from the Government side, one hon. gentleman proposing that Sir John’s allow- ance should be increased to $25,000 a year. NOTES. The House does not meet again until Monday, when Sir Richard Cartwright’s resolution respecting Canada’s right to make her owa treaties will be discussed. I have been surprised to notice the great iucrease in Ottawa during the past twelve yéars or so. It is now a large city, and the houses of the wholesale trade and their private residences are very fine, indeed, Ottawa has the best looking horses I have seeh since I left the Island. The carriage horses show lots of speed lines, and the truck horses are fine and heavy. Hon. Mr. Arsenault left for home this morning,\intending to call at St. Laurent, where he figs a son in college. Hon. Mr. Macdonald goes te Toronto next week on a visit to Capt. Cordon of the Acadia. The weather is fine, clear and cold, with good sleighing. Trade appears very active, —but this is Ottawa’s busy season. 1 understand itis the intention ef the Governmeut to take off the duty on sul phuric acid and phosphoric acid when im ported for manufacturing artificial fertiliz- ers, by which fertilizers in their purity not worthless articles like many now im- ‘on be sold to the ported farmers at low prices. A great many persons, including a good continvent of the P. E. Islanders in the city, attended the lecture of Mr, Parkin on Imperial iederation. [t was a most en- thusiastic meeting. The lectuger handled his theme in a masterly manner, and deli- neated the advantagesj and necessity of maintaining British unity so eloquently and lucidly that his audience were fairly electrified.
