OTTAWA LETTER
An Interesting Budget of News,
(Special correspondence of The Examiner. )
Iu supply, upen the vote for general re- pairs and improvements of harbors and rivers in the Maritime. Provinces, Mr. Perry enguired if the Government intend- ed to continue blasting the rock in Casam- pec Harbor. The Minister of Public Works replied that he had iustracted his chief engineer to make 4 report, and that in a few days he would inform Mr. Perry of the Government’s intention.
On the vote for additional dredging, Mr. Perry said he had observed by a return that of a grant of over $10,000 in the years 1890 and 1891 for Prince County piers and wharves, only $5,000 had been expended. That is what he complained of. There was only one dredge for the Island, and it couid not do half the work required, and iustead of commencing work in May he had known it aot to start till July, and one year in Oetober, The Captain was being paid $90 a month whether the dredge was working or not, and he was strutting around Char- lottetown working for the Government candidates,
On the vote for $50,000 for the P. KE. Is- land Railway, Mr. Haggart said that there
Caron rose and said that in every particular the charges made were false; he then left the House.
Sir Joho Thompson counselled the House to be very cautious how they dealt with charges effecting tae personal character of a member. The House had a perfect right to enquire how public moneys had been ex- pended by the Government Gepartments,
trusted. No such charge was made in the present instance. The Heuee had also a right to take cognizince of an offence alleg- ed to have been committed by a member in his capacity as such, but they were not charged by the constitution with any power to investigate the private character of any member, tion provided that the choice of members should rest, uot with the House, but with the people. The charges submitted ccme within none of the categories. Sir John then commented upon the charces, and cautioned the House to well consider whether it was imperative on thein to exercise their judicial functions, which they so rarely exercised well, con- sidering the diversity of feelings, of inter- ests and of political passions which pre- vailed in such an assembly. Were not the charges such ag some better qualitied tri- bunal should determine ? such a tribunal it was most proper that the House should decline to intertere, and leave to the tribunal, qualified by the con- stitution and statutes, the right to inves’i-
has been a very large deficit for the cight mouths of the present year, the expendi-! ture having been $229,996, as against | $184,808 last year. This was mainly due to | the fact that the steamer bringing rails had been lost, and as the rails could not be laid that year, double work had to be done this | year. The rails had been insured. | The Opposition have a great horror of | monopolies, grinding monopolies, etc., and | Mr. Edgar, the sweet singer from West |
Ontario, called the attention of the Gov-! ernment last week to the recent purchase, | by the Canadian Colored Cotton Mills Com- | pany, of nearly all the cclored cotton mulls
in the Dominion; and he asked, if this
transaction resulted in raising the price of cotton, what would the Government do
about it ?
Sir John Thompson briefly replied that, in such case, the tariff would speedily be lowered to admit uf compettion from cur- ade, which would immediaiely mend mt- ters.
-this frank statement of the Minister of to the people. Manufacturers are very good people tu have; but, like any other class ia the com- munity, they must not be alluwed to take the consumers by the throat.
Mr. Thomas Murray is a Grit pateict why stepped in last election between two Conservatives as representative for the County of Poutiac, P. Q, which is a very large county, running away back to the north pole, with a seattered population. When I said that Mr. Murray was a grit, there was no necessity for me to have added that he was a patriot, but neither
vocation prevents him being a bloated monopolist, which he is. Mec. Murray,
who looks through a pair of gold-rimmed spectactles and wears a drab plug hat tilted down on hie nose after the manner of a tough, made his money by selling whiskey, and is said to own nearly all the liquor business in the County of Renfrew, Ont., where he resides. He has a strong pull with the Ontario Government, which made him sheriff of Renfrew, a position he re- signed to run fur parliament. Mr, Murray is a bloated monopolist and combinester in whiskey, but there isa difference between whiskey and cotton and sugar, and the} grits draw the line at whiskey. Well, Mr. Murray is a man of no small importance in| the party now that its numbers have yrown | so small, but of infinitely more importance in his own estimation, and, to maintain his | reputation, he has to address the House | oceasionally. He did so last week, and did | not cover himself with glory. He wanted) a statement of the cost of construction of | the Culbute Canal, which he denounced as a job undertaken to put money in the pockets of frieids of the Government. He waxed very indignant, after the manner of Mr Davies, and he created quite a sensa- rion for the space of five minutes.
Then Mr. Haggart arose and promised
Mr, Murray that he should get his state- ment, taking occasion also tu remind Mr. Murray that the construction of the canal wis undertaken when his poli- ical friends were in power between 1873 and 1878, and that it was no! impos- sible that thet aff ur was a job, but if s», wt was a Grit job, aud whatever advantage accrued, was made by Mr Marray’s politi- cal friends. Daring the roars of laughter which followed, Mr. Murray made his exit from the Chamber, being called outside **1o see 8 man.” The rest of that day was occupied in a discussion of the Franchise Act,'a large number of the Gric members taking the opportunity to repeat their annual speeches on the questiou, for which see Hansard for any one of the past five years. Mr. Mr- Mulien, I may add, made eight speeches in the course of the debate. Mr. Davies said that although he never felt any great injustice from the Revising Officer who, in his county, was the County Court Judge. He did not think that, in those counties, where the county judges were revisers, in- justice was done, as a rule.
From a careful examination . f the Hans- ard, it has been ascertained that Mr, Me- Mullen spoke only 756 times last session There were several whole days when he never epened his mouth, but there were others when he spoke as often as 64 times Already thia session, in Committee of Sup- ply alone, he has spoken over 20) times. —
On Wednesday Mr Edgar preferred his charges againet Sir Adolph Caron, which amount briefly to these : that moneys were received from the Lake St. John Railway and from the Temiscouata Railway Com- pany, both subsidized by the Government, to aasiet in carrying elections in a d«zen Quebeo counties. Mr. Edgar moved to have the matter referred to the Committee
on Privileges aud Elections. Sir Adolphe
gate the complaint. Apart from the fact that the charges were inaccurate in assert- ing that Sir Adolphe Caron had during the whole of the period from 1882 to 1891 been a member ot the House of Commons, there was no charge made against him of misconduct in his capacity as a mem- ber. If he had violated the election laws, the courts should try him, Aside, however, trom all this, Mr. Edgar’s motion was an attempt to investigate bygone elec- tions and nothing more, If the Opposition had any charge to make against the Gov- ernment with regar to the propriety of granting subsidies to tne railroads mention- ed, the Government were prepared to meet them. If they had any complaint to make as to the way the elections had been carried on, the courts were open to them. But the charges were so vague that even if the law had not given the judges jurisdiction in election cases, the House would not adopt any resolution such as propos d, and en- trust to the Committee on Privileges aud Elections the duty of trying two general
elections. These were sweeping allegstiona with reference to transactions extending
over nine y as and two general elects one, But if the charges were framed which the House could entertain, the Government would not oppose an investigation, although they would refuse a reference to the Privileges aud Elections Committee which, the experience of last session has shown, was tou large for prompt and accurate de liberatioa. It would be preferable to have them referred to a smaller committee, as was done in ths Cochrane case last year.
Mr. Laurier replied, and never did I see the gentlemanly and refined Laurier io such @ towering rage: What there was in Sir John’s speech to get mad about, no one could understand, aud therefore there was no other iaference than that the cause of his illetemper lay among his own party. Mr. Edgar is ove of the Toronto Globe directors, and Mr. Laurier does not like the Globe just now. It is said that Mr. Laurier was opposed to Mr, Edgar’s attack on Sir Adolphe, but that the Globe and Cartwright insisted and prevailed. Mr. Laurier’s temper was not improved when someone interjected ‘*Pacaud” while he wasspeaking, and he sat down shortly after in a very disturbed atate of mind,
Mr. Tupper replied ia a short and sharp speech, ia which hechallenged the Opposition, ifthey meant to charge sic Adolphe with theft and robbery of public funds, to say so and they would get their investigation in- stanter.
Six o'clock was heaving in sight, and as Mr. Edgar had pleaded urgency in moving his resolution, Sir John Thompson offered, on behalf of the Government, t» consent to cons tinue the debate at the evening session. (To do so required the unanimous consent, under the rules of the House.) But, no; Sir Richard Cartwright would have none of it. ‘We propose that this matter enali be very fully discussed,” said Sir Richard. So, the debace stands over till toeday, when it will probably come up «gain, It is remarkable the ease with which the Opposition change base. Mr, Fdyar has mad- two attempts to briog his re solution before the House, out of the regular order, pleading that it was a matter of privi- lege and should not be delayed, yet in two hours’ time they were perfectly satistied to stave further consideration off from Wedaes« day till Monday
lf there is nything in Mr. Edgar’s charges, and he specifies them more definitely, they will be investigated. The Government evidently intend to put their foo. down upon the demand to send any and every charge that can be trumped vp »gainst a member to the Privileges and Elections Committee. That Committee spent four months last summer, ai immense expense, investigating the Tar e- McGreevy charg s, and what was the result ? Whe, two reports from the Committee, drawn on distinct party lines, and the majovity re- port adopted by a distinct party vote. It is not at all desirable to continue so unsatis- factory a mode of proceedure, and Sir Joho Thompson, while he very properly abstained from telling Mr. Edgar how to formulate his charges, will unhesitatingly submit to a speedy investigation any definite accusations against any member of the House.
Mr. Chariton’s bill to secure the better ob servance of the Lord’s Day has been referred to a special committee. Sir John Thompson g ve it as his epinion that it was quite com- petent for parliament to enact a law contain ing the provisions of Mr. Charlton’s bill, al- though he was aware that some members of the House, eminent in the legal profeseion, thought dviferently.
Mc. Amyot’s biil to make voting compul- sory has also been referred to a special com- mittee.
The first division of the session took place ou Wednesday night, very unexpectedly. It was on concurrence of a vote of committee ot supply to pay the salary of L. C. Pereira, as- sistant Secretary vi che Interior Department, while under suspension last summer. It will be remembered that during the investigation
or by others to whom they had been en- |

If there was} ¢.:00.
last session, three clerks, Heury, Turner and Pereira, were suspended, Why Henry should have been suspended no one seems to know, it was done in the excitement of the investi- gation, but it was proved, by their own ad- mission, that Turner and Pereira had receiv- ed pay for extra work in fictitious names, and they were accordingly suspended. But after prorogation a sub-committee of the Privy Council investigated the whole basinuess and discovered that there were a number of other clerks in about the same box, who had not been suspended, becanse the Public Ac. | counts Committee had not gone deep enough | into the matter, but who would have been | suspended if their irregularities had been \found out. To punish them, the Government |fined them one month's pay each—a serious tine when everything is considered Pereira, Turner and Henry were fined among the rest; and, in addition, they had lost their pay while under suspension, and this was felt to be too heavy a punishment. But there wae
|no way to pay them withont a vote of parlia- the vagueness of | ment, so the amounts were placed in the esti.
mates. Henry's Was agreed to all right; there was a kick at Turner’s, but a determin. ed stand was taken against Pereira’s vote And this was the cause of the division. The
{Government did not anticipate it, and as it
appened, a large number of their supporters were absent. Mr. Davin was lecturing that evening on the British House of Commons, and his colleagues attended there in strong Nor were the Opposition aware of what was going to take place. Mr. Mills and Mr, Davies bad gone out for a walk on on Parliament Hill, Mr. Edgar was some- where else, so was Mr. Murray, and they never hea’ d the division bella ringing. The count resulted iu the item passing by 86 to 61, a Government majority of only 25. From allI can hear there was a pile of money changed hands next day, which had been staked on the result of the first division. The Conservatives, of course, were the losers as they expected a majority approachiag 60
Ou Thursdey, upon motion to go into committee of supply, Hon. David Mills moved in amendmeut: “That it is expedient to obtain the necessary powers to enable Her Majesty the Queen through her representative the Governor-General of Canada, upon the advice of his ministers, to appoint an agent to negotiate commercial treaties with other British possessions or with foreign states, subject to the prior consent or subsequent approval of the Pariiament of Canada.” This amendment was Jest on division by 106 to 61, a Government majority of 45. At least a dozen Conservative members arrived too late tor the division.
Friday was a field day in the House, the appropriation of the Militia being the sul-ject under discussion. Major-General Herbert's report, which was brought down only the day before, is anything bat complimentary to the foree, and he dows not go behind the door to say bow little he thinks of it, All this was uuts for Mr. MeMullen, of Som- erville, and the lesser lights of the Opposi- tion. It was when Somerville, or as he is popularly designated, “the yal er dog,” in the course of some remarks, read what pur- ported o be affidavits of sundry parties, charging Col. Fred. Denison, M,. P. for Toronto, and his brother, Col. George Denison, Police Magistrate of that city. with misappropriation of public meney, with obtaining signatures of muitiamen to pay- rolls under false pretences and other inis- demeanors cf a like trifling nature,—is wae then the fun started. Coil, Denison promp*ly denied che accusations, and told Sume: ville that, if he had taken the trouble to enquire, he would have iearned that the Miliiia Department had investigated them long «go, and found them baseless. This was corrobur- ated by Sir Adolphe Caron. Thea McKerzts Bowell, and Tapper, and Tisdale, and Tyrwhitt and Daly and Hazn, and Sir John Thompson, went for that “yaller deg” and figuratively tore him limb from limb Out of pity Mr. Laurier rose aad apologized for the scene—he said no one on the Opposition side of the House believed the charges which Somerville had read or believed Col, Denison or his brother capable of any conduct ur- becoming a gentleman. Davies spoke to the same effect, and by raising another point tried to draw away the Government fire from Somervi'le. But the Government side
insisted on Somerville withdrawing his charges. This he haa not the grace or maniiness to do—the best that could be
he did not statements in make apy charges sgainst
obtained from him being that vouch for the accuracy of the the affidavits or Col, Denison.
A more discredi‘able action than that of Somer viile’s was never witnessed on the fluor of any deliberate assembly. These affidavite, or whatever they were, had been sent to a member of the Opposition last session, who. after making enquiries, refused to have any thing to do with them. They were handed to ove after another of the Opposition, only to be rejected, until they reached somerville, who grasped them eagerly. There was one good feature brought out by the discus i, aed thit »as ihe denunciation of Mr. > mer viies conduct and he flv disiwow t ali responsibility therefor by the Oppvsiti n leaders
The Supreme Court of Canada baving con- fi:med the jadgment of the E!. c:ion Court nauseating and disqualifying Mr. German, of Weliand, that gencleman has forssken O:tawa, and, it is said, is thinking of removing to the United States, where he expecis to tind more congenial society. Th: House is not done with him, however, ae the Privileges and Kiectious Committee are still considering the fact of his having taken his seat under the circumstances as they existed. He is said to rave drawn his indemuity and mileage up to the last moment, Perhaps one reason for bis attachment to Parliamentary life, and his un- willingness to leave Ottawa, may be accounted for by a report which credits him with having cleared $2,500 playing poker last session,
‘ast week the Postmaster General stated that it is not the present intention to increase the rate of interest on Post Office Savings Banks deposite to 4 per cent
The Secretary of State said that it is not the intention to hold a revision of the Electoral Lists this year.
sir John Thompson said that the Govern- ment intend, so soon asa vote of Parliament is obtained, to erect a suitable monument to the late Sir John Macdonald on the grounds near the House of Commons.
The Redistribution Bill is to be brought down immediately after the Easter recess. There will n» doubt be a long discussion and a big fight over i*.
