shivering, —thisis the treatment continued to the most helpless of God’s creatures by the representatives—or shall we say mis- reprentatives ?—cf a Christian people.

if there were nothing else upen which to condemn it, our Provincial Administration (save the mark) ought to be condemned On account of the utter incapacity and tolid indifference it has displayed in this regard. Sevenandahalf years ago, tLe Grand Jury directed attention to the over- crowded the Asylum build was done. Three years and a half ago, Tue ExamMINER described the conditions then subsisting

in Our opinion, ought to bave been taken to relieve the congestion and ensure iro~ in the future. The Govern- ment soon after that began tomove. But they moved in a direction condemned by the common~eense of all sane men,-—that of jlaciog the people of the poorhouse under the same roof with raving wauiacs, iu the following spring the Government Obtained from their architect, a set of plans for the propcsed “annex” and called for tenders. ‘The lowest tender was that of Mr. Walter Lowe ; and it was accepted. Mr. Lowe was bound by a hard and tast agreement,—which ‘the Government, not answerable to the courts, have set at At the beginning it was found that the architect bad blundered, and that a larger excavation than the contract caled for would have to be made before the building could be put upona solid foundation. The Government could have remedied this of aie few

prom ptly by the ex- hundreds or tuousands of dollars, as any private in- dividual in a like situation would have done. But the Premier of that day was a way getting big fees on the Bering Sea Commission, the acting Premier wouldnt do anything defi, nite or practical, and the Commiseioner of Pablic Works couldn’t do anything to- wards making it possible to proceed with the contract. Manifestly, Mr. Lowe could not be expected to 2o. the extra work at his own expense. So the matter has drifted oo. Seven or eight thousand dollars worth of materials cbiained ard prepared by Mr. Lowe have,-in the’meantime, gone to rot or partial

The afternoon was very pleasantly spent in boat sailing, bathing, and verious other amusements until the second repast was served after which the party repaired to the drawing-room aud Mr. W. 8. J. Murray, W. P., was called to the chair. Then came the rendition of the following programme :

A hearty vote of thanks was tendered Mr. and Mrs. Clark. for the kindness extended the members of Refuge Division which was responded to, after which the meeting closed by all standing and singing that good old strain—“God be wiih you till we meet againt.”

NOTES AND COMMENTS.

—A Parie despatch significantly says that “should Dreyfus be acquiited the military section would be in open rebellion. The inference is that Dreytus will not be acquitted.

—The psyments of the Government on capital accouot and on consolidated fund account, all told, amounted in 1896 to $44.000.050, whi.e in the present fiscal year there will be about $ 62,006,000. We ask electors to bear this fact in mind,

—In 1896 the public expenditures of Canada or consolidated fund account amcunted in round numbers to $41,000,- 000; in 1893 they were $51,000,000. This is how the Liberals are keeping down expenditures.

—We are asked to state that Sir Louis Davies has made arrangenents for the arrival here of the Steamship Lake Haron (4000ton*®) on the 12:h of Qc. tober. It 1 needless to suggest that in tending shippers ought to have a good cargo ready in good condition.

—According to the Canada Gazette, to hand, there was added to the net debt of Canada io the single month of Jaly last the sum of $4,238,853.78 That is to say on the 30th Jane the net debt stood at $260,045,078 49, and on the 3lst July it was raised to $264,283,937.73. Surely it
