LETTERS TO THE EDITOR,

The Better Terms. Six,—I see that your Ottawa correspon- dent states in his last communication to THe EXAMINER that by the contemplated re- adjustment of the Provincial Debt Accounts with the Dominion we will be allowed inter- est from 1873, on the capital placed to our credit. I am afraid this news is too good te be true. Ithink that our subsidy will be increased only from the date that the Dominion Governnient assumes the debt that isto be divided among the Provinces. In order that we may fully understand Mr. Tilly’s Better Terms resolutions proposed a few days ago, it is necessary to go back to the betier terms of 1873 When Cenfedera- tion tock place in 1867, the debt allowed to Ontario and Qvebec conjointly was $62,- 500,600. In 1873 the debt of both these Provinces was found to be $73,000,000 or $10,500,000 more than they were allowed by the terms of Confederation. On this difference of $10,500,000, Ontario and (Quebec were bound by the Terms of Union,

to pay interest at five per cent, to the Dominion. Ontario and Quebec were anxious to be relieved of

this heavy charge, and they asked the Dominien Government to assume the debt. This, the Dominion Government could not do, without a proportionate increase of the d-bt account of the several Provinces of the Dominion, and a corresponding increase of subsidies. The Dominion Government at last consented to assume the $10,500,000 and grant better terms to all the Provinces. This was in the session of 1873. It was then evacted that from the Ist of July, 1873, the Dominion Government would assume the $10,500,000 and the increased subsidies in all the Provinces would date from the same tive. Now comes the point with regard to Prince Edward Island. ‘I find some difference of opinion with regard to the terms proposed. A great many agree with your Ottawa cor- respondent, and think the present Better Terms will date from our entrance in to the Union. It was on the Ist of July, 1873, we entered the Dominion. Our terms were negotiated op the basis of the Better Terms then about to be granted to the other Provinces. This means, that in calculating the debt of $4,701,050 with which we were allowed to enter the Union, the Dominion Government charged them- selves with $10,500,000, the excess of Quebec and Ontario’s debt as allowed by the Terms of Union, and we, as well as the other Provinces of the Dominion, got the venefit of it. In the Better Terms of 1873 no action was taken on the $10,500,000 from 1867 to 1873. Now Mr. Tilley proposes to deal with it. The interest paid on that sum by Ontario and Quebec, at 5 per cent. per annum, for those six years is $3,150,000. This he pro- poses to add to the debt accounts of Quebce and Ontario. He proposes a similar addition to the debt accounts of the other Provinces in proportion to their population, The debt of the Dominion will be thereby increased atout $4,000,000, and the increase of our annual subsidy will be just equal to that part ef the yearly interest of the $4,000,000 for which we become liable. I only regret that I cannot take your Ottawa correspondent’s view of the matter in dating the increaee of oursubsidy from 1873 instead of 1884. But viewing the Terms by the light at present afforded, I find it im- possible. Yours, etc., VorTer.

A woman named Jane Wills, wife of W. W. Wills, tavern keeper at 67 Aibermarle street, strangled herself on Sunday evening, while laboring under a fit of temporary in- sanity. Her husband had only left her about te: minutes, but when he returned he found that she had wound a sailor's lanyard round her throat, fastened it to a rail of the bed, and, twisting round, strangulation had ensued. When the hus- band discovered her he at once released her, but she only sighed once and expired. An inquest was held by coroner Almron, and a verdict returned ‘‘that the deceased had come to her death through strangu- lation. caused by herself, while laboring under a fit of temporary insanity.— Halifax Hevald.
