OF THE ' RXAMINER.” ~~ et

BAAS OL.

Ortawa, April 2.

Before referring to the tariff again, a few notes concerning the proceedings in Parlia- ment may interest the readers of the Ex- AMINER. During the discussion upon the new tariff, in reply to the continued asser- tions of Messrs. McKenzie and Cartwright, that ‘‘ the tariff will bear heavily upon the country, without giving encouragement te native industries, and that increased tax. ation is all that the present Government have to offer,” Dr. Tupper said that Mr. Cartwright had framed a tariff in the year 1876, in which the taxation was to be in- creased without making any discrimination in favor of articles which we cannot pro- duce, and, in proof of this statement, said a telegram had been published in an organ owned at that time by a Cabinet Minister —Mr. Laird. Mr. McKenzie said that the statement of Dr. Tupper was incorrect ; no raise in the tariff was contemplated, and said that no such telegram had been pub- lished as that referred to by Dr. Tupper, for he (Mr. McKenzie) had the Patriot newspaper ‘‘ examined,” and it did not contain any despatch referring to increase of tariff. Dr. Tupper repeated the state- mont, but had not a copy of the Patriot newspaper by him when making his asser- tion, so that it was impossible to success- fully prove that Mr. McKenzie was wrong. However, Dr. Tupper procured a copy of the Patriot containing the despatch, and, a few days after, referred to the subject in Parliament, reading the telegram, and thus proving the correctness of his own state- ment originally made and THE UNTRUTHFULNESS OF MR. MACKENZIE. To any one of fine sensibilities, the ex- posure to which Mr. McKenzie had to sub- mit before the Huuse, would have been humiliating, but that gentleman seems lost to every sense of manliness and truth. Not satisfied with making one false statement, he resorted to another to cover up the first. As customary with him, some poor unfor- tunate victim must be led to the altar and sacrificed as an atonement for the sins of the Leader ef the Opposition. In this case it was the editor of the ‘‘Patriot.” Mr. McKenzie explained his assertion about ex- amining the columns of the ‘‘Patriot,” by saying that Mr. Lawson, the editor, was now in this city and had written him a note denying the assertion of Dr. Tupper. It is hardly possible that for a little cheap notoriety the editor of the ‘‘Patriot” did write the mote which the Leader of his party asserted he did. Mr. Lawson is not so stupid as to deny before the world the publication of the telegram previously re- ferred to, and which every reader of his paper in 1876 must remember. The very fact that many merchants in the Dominion, and in Prince Edward Island in particular, paid in enormous sums for customs duties in expectancy of a higher tariff, which was intimated by Mr. Laird’s telegram, would bring to his recollection the publication of that despach in February, 1876. Mr. McKenzie tried his utmost to wriggle out of the falsehood, but the more he floundred ,the deeper he sank in the slough. Evenif it had been true that he received the note alluded to fromthe Editor of the ‘ Patriot,” his statement about having the paper ‘‘examined” was not true, and placed him in an ugly dilemma. The extraordinary memory of Dr. Tupper is the most provoking thing to the Liberals in discussion, imaginable. He frequently raises the ghost of some past political mis- demeanor or act of corruption, or incon- sistency which the Liberals have been guilty of, and the paralizing effect upon the Opposition is marvelcus. They become disorganized, and,-in every debate, so bad- ly beaten that nearly two-thirds ef them make their exit from the Parliamentary Chamber before the discussion is closed. This was very noticeable the other day when the discussion upon the

DISMISSAL OF OFFICIALS

occupied the time of the House. Mr. Huntington moved for all papers concern- ing the dismissal, since September last, of a Mr. Cardnel from an office which he held in Montreal. 1t was proved that that gentlemen had no other duties to perform than to canvass during election times for the party which gave him his position. It was a stipu!ntion that he should receive the pay of a puL.ic officer for the services ren- dered as a political partizan. It was dur- ing this discussion that I3LAND MEMBERS

spoke ont so strongly upon the conduct of Dominion officials during the last election campaign. They stated that some of thestrongest, most violent and unscrupulous opponents they had were men who were in receipt of salaries paid from the Dominion treasurv. Men who had neglected their duties as civil servants to canvass in the in- terests of the McKeuzie party. The current of the whole debate was changed after Mr. Brecken introduced th » fact that numbers of officialsin his Province had utterly disregard- ed their position and fiercely fought for party interests. The Islan! members said that, so far as their Province was concerned, the American system of dismissing public officials when another party assumed the reins of government was recognized there. They strougly pressed home the puint that the Government were too lenient towards those officials who had openly tried their utmost to retain the late Administration in power. Mr. Brecken sounded the key note, and almost every member on the Govern-

i

'@ political engine for party purposes.

show the partizan actions of some Dominion ofticials in their separate counties. The discussion ocenpied three days, and doubt- less will open the way to the Government

for the dismissal of men who ignored the fact

that the public service should not be made I see by the papers the Liberals state that the telegrams to the Examiner relating to dis- missals was sent to assist in the local elec- tions.. It may be a way which they have of comforting themselves on the Island, but there are two gentlemen who will refuse to be comforted by their friends. There are some more whose resignations will be the only means whichthey can adopt to prevent a sudden ejection from office. It has not been all words with the Island members. They have not been satisfied with merely uttering their protest against retaining officers who have been active in politics but have made a determined demand, and which they have been assured will receive the attention of the Government. MR. POPE,

the Minister of Marine, entertains pretty strong opinions upor. this matter, and will be careful to teach a lesson to men who have forgotten their duty in the excitement of elections to malign and abuse the men who now form the Government of which he is a member.

A London Romance.

Mr. Charles Gifford and Miss Blanche Crossfield were found drowned together in the Thames, near North Woolwich, re- cently, and the following romantic explana- tion is given: ‘‘ Mr. Gifford .became ac- quainted with Miss Crossfield when seven- teen years of age, through having saved her from drowning. The deceased became mutually attached, and plighted troth at the wish of the parents on both sides, but a year later Mr. Crossfield withdrew his promise, on the ground that Mr. Gifford’s son was a Roman Catholic. Both deceased then azranged that neither would ma any other, and each would be wedded ‘ to the church’ until Mr. Crossfield should withdraw his objection. Mr. Gifford (de- ceased) then stayed abroad at Athens, Geneva and Baden for some years, when he received a letter from Mr. Crossfield in- forming him that his daughter was dying, that he (deceased) was the cause, and add. ing: ‘If you wed my daughter, my curse shall follew you both. I have already dis- inherited her.’ Deceased arrived in Lon- don last Thursday week, and met Miss Crossfield at her residence at Gravesend, Mr. Crossfield having been killed in a car- riage accident. Both deceased’s arms were united by some silken cords, and in Miss Crossfield’s purse, containing notes, etc., was found a card on which was Written : ‘ As we may not be wed in this world, may heaven permit usin the next. In loving embrace we mutually agree to leave this selfish world.—Charles Gifford, Blanche Crossfield, Feb. 8, 1879.’.”

Tue Monetary Times has a dash at the hotels of the Dominion, which, in too many cases, is well deserved. It says :—

‘* We published a letter recently from an ** An old Stager,” commenting upon what is unpleasantly true of too many hotels in Canada, viz., that their cooking is defec- tive, their bed rooms untidy, and their closets disgraceful. We now find with satisfaction, that the Commercial Travel- lers’ Association, whose members doubt- less experience more discomfort from this condition of things than any other class, have made a move in the matter which is likely to do good. A committee appointed by the Association has addressed to each of its members a_ circular dosiring them to report upon the condition of hotels, which are defective in the follow- ing points: 1st, clean and comfortable bed- rooms and beds; 2nd, wholesome food, properly cooked ; 3rd, Sanitary and closet arrangements, clean and convenient of access; 4th, charges reasonable and cen- sistent with the accommodation provided, The sister associations of commercial travel- lers have been asked to co-operate, and we trust to see the many country Bonifaces forced to realize that their hostelries are sadly in want of improving.”

Tur oldest priest in the Dominion has just passed away in the person of Rev. John Mac- denald, Vicar-General and formerly Parish Priest of St. Raphael's, Glengarry. The de- ceased clergyman was a native of Scotland, and he had reached the patriarchial age of 97 years at his demise. He left his native coun- try when about four years old, accompanied by his parents, togethe: with the father of the present Lieut.-Governor of Ontario, and about two hundred others, who all settled in the County of Glengarry in 1786. When the new settlers arrived in Glengarry, Upper Canada had but two priests, one of them being the Rey. Alexander McDonald, afterwards first Bishop of Upper Canada. The deceased first went to school at St. Andrews’s, Ont., and in 1802 entered the College of St. Suplice at Montreal, where he reniained until the r 1810, when he entered the Seminary at Que- bec, and there pursued his ecclesiastical studies up to the period of his ordination, on the: 14th day of June, 18i4, by his Lordship Bishop Plessis. After receiving holy orders, he pro- ceeded to Glengarry as a Missionary Apostolic, having under his spiritual jurisdiction all that part of Canada lying bet the Cedar Rapids and the mouth of Niagara River.
