and which in most cases shows the nnbusi- ness-like] way in which the country was governed. It has become almost painful to relate the numerous instances of the waste of public money for the purpose of retaining a hold upon the people—painfal, because a long-suffering people have had to endure it without being in a position to prevent the damage till almost beyond remedy. A few specimens may be given to back up the statement above. In British Columbia and the North West,

PURVEYORS

have been, in their own profuse and liberal style, disbursing the public monies. Dixon, Robson and Bethune—whose occupations have been taken from them by the present Government—spent large sums, Hobson managed to lay out, among various friends and in doing various things, the sum of $126,438. His accounts slow that his boon companions have reasons for remembering him with gratitude. The

entries are interesting :—Douglass Bill 2269; Douglas Joe, $45; Francois, $181; frank,

$247 ; Harry, $436; Jim, $127; ¢olnny, $174; Joseph, Lilleot Joe, $224; Phillip, $167; Texas Billy, $245. Sir Walter Scott, in one of the Waverly series, makes a Lowlander who has visited the Highlands, ask a man his name. ‘The Highlander, omitting the surname, is asked it; but the questioner learns that surnames are not in vogue. There is ‘‘Red Sandy,” and ‘‘Big Donald,” and “Black Dugald,” and so on. If, in our country, any allusion were made to Joe, it would be understood te mean Joe Hogan; but then when any such serious matter as making an entry occur, Joseph would get his full name of John Joseph Hogan. ‘To be serious about the matter, it shows that there was no anxiety felt by the late administration to have competent men to disburse the pub- lic money. The fact is plain, that a man who made such entries as mentioned above was not one in whose hands such a large stm of money as $126,438 should be placed with the expectation of getting a correct return from. Dr. Christic’s SUNDAY RESOLUTION

was fully discussed on Thursday. The speeches on the resolution were longer, and perhaps better than any other subject has given rise to this session. The resolution asks that the Pest Offices in the Province of Quebec shall be entirely closed en Sunday, It appears that some offices are kept open for the purpose of delivering letters for an hour or so during the day. The re- solution Was so sweeping in its nature, that if a Bill were based upon the same principle and became law, no office could be opened even for the reception of mails upon the Sabbath, if such emergency arose. Dr. Christie, who is a Reformer, was encouraged by the late Administration to introduce his resolution last year; and, in fact, was given to understand that the Government would support it, but, like many other promises, this ene was not kept by the *‘ pairty.” The resolution is, no doubt, a good one, and aims at a proper observance of the Sabbath. One would naturally be curious to know how the Hon. Alexander McKenzie would yote upon this question. The high state of Christian per fection which we were told by the the Re- formers Mr. McKenzie had reached, led men to look to the Leader of the Opposi- tion, to support the resolution. But, alas, where party interests and Christian inter- ests are not in accord, the Leader of the Opposition does not ‘‘choose the better part.” In fact, he often disappoints the cherished hopes of men anxious to promote reform. Mr. Meixenzie neitier spoke nor voted in favor of the resolution. The Post- master-General aud Sir John Macdonald

on-the-wheel” one. Men who dreaded any interference with the tariff, and considered no re-adjustment was necessary. If they were sincere last summer they must be insincere now; if they are sin- cere now they were the merest political tricksters then. If the policy propounded by the present Ministry is to damage the country, why do the-Grits court and desire to hasten the injury? Men who really consider the interests of the country are not so blinded that they caunot see through the tricks of the Opposition. One organ calls Mr. Tilley a ‘‘slow coach” because the Budget Speech has not been delivered be- fore this. But the man who seeks to ar- range the tariff so that all parts of the Do- minion may be benefited, and who daily consults the best authorities upon the vari- ous industries and trade questions of the country, will merit and gain the good opinions of all right-thinking and qualified men. It is far wiser to receive deputations, as Mr. Tilley is doing now, than to follow the example of Richard John Cartwright, and receive the deputations after the tariff is announced. ‘The peculiar fault-finding, untruthful and vicious style of warfare car- ried on by the leading Opposition papers reminds one of an old barn-door hen that has been sitting upon a chalk egg till the chalk has gone to powder, and no chickens appear. With feathers on end, she quar- rels with -everything that happens in her way. Quite a BREEZE was created in the House to-day, when some gentlemen from the Opposition side asked the Postixaster General the amount which Mr. Patterson, the newly-appointed Postmaster for ‘Toronto, receives as salary. The Globe and other papers had ° vigorously circulated the un- truthful statement that the salary had been raised to $4,000. The former in- cumbent received $3,500. Mr. Langevin dryly replied that the salary now 1s only $3,000. The Reformers collapsed ; they were prepared for a great onslaught upon the Ministry, but the game was spoiled when the answer came. A DEPUTATION of Nova Scotia and Island members waited upon the Minister ef Marine and Fisheries to-day. The Nova Scotia members wished to have the ‘‘ close season” commenced in August first; but the Island members, be- lieving that was too early for those engaged in lobster fishery on the Gulf Coast, de- sired to have the time extended to the 20th of August. The Minister acceeded to their wishes. This is but one of many advantages of having in the Cabinet an Island member who understands the wants of the country. There is not the least doubt that if we were without this representation in the Govern- ment the Island members would not have secured the valuable boon referred to above, to those who have capital invested in the lobster fishing. MAIL SERVICE. Orrawa, March 4, 1879.

To-day Mr. A. C. McDonald asked for all copies of contract for mail service with the Steam Navigation Company at the time the Island entered Confederation. The contract specifies that one boat should keep up con- stant communication with Georgetown, It is believed that the contract has not been altered. The boat has not per- formed the work, and therefore the member for King’s, is anxious to learn the cause of the neglect to carry out the original con- tract with regard to Georgetown. Some reasons may be discovered when the cor- respondence and copies of contract appear upon the tables, why the boat was not kept

on directly between Georgetown and other places. Mr. Daniel Davies, being the late representative for King’s did not urge the
