Mur trial of Mr. Peters’ administration is |

sfawing toaclose. We have bal a short and intere-ting discussion of the issues in volved.

To the charge that the Administration de- ceived the people, there has been no reply. The charge has been virtually admitted. Indeed it cannot be successfu] denied. Upon that count the Administration is admittedly guilty and ought to be con- demned.

THE INCOME TAX ACT.

THERE are but two sections in the Ii: - come Tax Act. We publish both to meet a demand of the electors for information

upon the point:

1. Section Three of the Act passed ip the Fifty-seventh vear of Her present Majesty’s Reign, Chapter Two, intituled : “An Act to imposre an Income Tax” is hereby repealed and the following inserted in lien thereof: “This Act shall not ay ply to apy person resident in this Province Widse income does not exceed the sum _ of Three huodred and fifty dollars annually. if such income is derived from wages or

salary for any etoployment, or from his ; own actual manual labor, and in cases

act " } ) where such last mentioned income exceed -

the sum of Three hundred and fifty dollars annnally, the said tax shall be caleulated npon the excess over Three hundred and fifiy dollars only.”

2. Nothing herein contained shall atlect the Act hereby amended with regard to the collection of arrears of Income Tax now due.”

- ? = . , is guiity of boodling and extravagance from all quarters aud the- prospects look

there has been opposed the su (plouue y ‘ ¢ | . YT . argument,—the Sullivan-McLeod Govern

ment, wereas deep in the mud as M

Pet

deters iz inthe mire. This argument is

clearly beside the point, because the men who formed the Sullivan and McLeod Ad- ministrations are out of the qu stion. With one ortwo exceptions, they are not now

in Provincial politics. Moreover, it is not

true that they were as bad as the one-man |

goverament now on trial. Those who say |

that they were rightly condemned have ten dimes more reason to vote in condemnation of the Government which tu an increasing

debt have added heavy taxation.

But it is urged that they ought be excus- |

ed. and that the pub.ic trusts of tne Pro- vince onghbt to be again committed to their charge, becanse Mr. Peters’ friends are now in office in Ottawa, and because Mr. Peters h+s appliedfor arbitration in res- pect toour claims upon the Dominion Goverement. Itis to be noted that the men who now contend that “the two Gov- ernment should be in line” are those wao repeatedly voted against the Liberal Con. servatives in this Province whilethe Liber- al-Conservatives were in power at Ottawa. As tothe application for arbitration, the chief claim has been deliberately with- drawn from it, while the other claims mentioned are eviaently not yet sufficiently mature. [be application is certainly a mere dodge—an election kite.

Upon the whole,it must be admitted that the defence of the Government has been completely brokendown, that the excuse otfered on their behalf is insufficient, and that the people have good grounds for voting for the condemnation ot Mr. Peters and his partizans.

The advices receive] by Tae Examiner indicate that they will do so.

THE SECOND DISTRICT.

Wuey the Patriot and its correspondents deem it necessary to resort to scurrilous, insipuations and misrepresentation of Mr. W. S. Stewart, and when the Hon. Donald Farquharson has been so upset by Mr. Stewart’s sturdy biows at Rustico that he has taken to writing him abusive Jetters through the postoffice under the guise of an invitation to attend a meeting at New Haven, it is abundantly evident that Mr. Stewart’s work in the second district o Queen’s is bearing good fruit. All this evidence of alarm in the Government ranks goes to show how completely indefensible the Government’s conduct is in connection with the building of the snow historic Boodler. Mr. Stewart hes made it clear enough that Angus McDonald was to complete the hull of this steamer for $6,500, and that $6,060.90,an amount sufficient to build the bull of another steamer as large as her, were wasted by Mr. Farquharson and his colleagues in bood- ling, and, that the government was so con- scious and ashamed of wrong-doing in this matter that it refused to bring down to the Leg'slature, when asked, the items that made up thie large extra amount aud the names of the parties who received t. The government hirelings gnash their teeth and get mad under the lash so de- servedhy administered by Mr. Stewart. But itis the essence of cheek and the

| well.”

The estimate of an old Liberal is that tne election will result in the return of eigh ee ned Oppore ito the Peters Gov- erument.

ANOTHER LETTER FROM MR. LOWE*

Se ee

Sirn,—In your issne of the 15th inet., there is a letter from C, B. Chappell in re- ference to the new wing of che Asylum. He says “the real dispute, however, be- tween the contractor and myself is nota question of foundation wall, but a question of excavation.” I wish the puplic to know that I bave no dispute with Mr. Chappell vor the Government about foundation walls or excavations. All I require is the written authority to make the neces-ary excava- tions and build the extra walla before I can proceed with my contract. ~ He also says “his contract covered all that was required in the contract.” This statement 1s not correct, a8 both the Goversment aod Mr. Chappell know. Mr. Chazpell admits, by making the statement, ibat*‘the land falls one quarter of an inch toa foot,” aud #3 the building is 192 feet lovy, ata quarter of an inch to a foot there wili bea fall of 48 inches in the length of the build- ing. This statement of Mr. Chappell confirms the statement ip my letter of the 14th. He also says the wall will have to be increased in height about twelve inches, caused by the fall in the land. Will Mr. Chappell explain how he is going to fill up with a 12 ineb wall ina tour foot gap? He also says that the cost of a 12 inch wall will be $275.00. Then what will a four foot wall cost which is required to bring up the level so that | can proceed to putin my outside founda- tion not saying anythivg abvut the founda- tion of the interior walls, etc. He also saye there is no regniar basement under the Atrylum wing. He must have intended to say that there was no foundation wall under the Asylum wing; for he says that the Commissioner bas promised to pay for the additional wall and aiso that he (Mr. Chappell) bas given me his own written guarantee to pay me for it if the Govern- ment refuse, whieh statement is an unmigitated falsehood. What be did propose to me was that if 1 would put in the necessary foundation wall which is not provided for in the pians and speciti- cation, he would reduce the size of the building by taking two courses off each floor allt around the building, reduce tne flues in size, redacethe foul air flues in size, and also reduce the number of red a- tor- in the heating apparatus and make it up In orher ways ty slighting the construc: tion of the biulding. This I can prove, and he knows it. ButlI refu-ed to be a party to the transaction. 1] told him that there as a Clause in the agreement whicn said tbat no deductions could be made from the work without the consent of the Commis- sioner of Public Works and if I did that I would ruin my surcties and myself. He made answerard said he wovld see the Government damned before he would let them interfere with him in his architectual capacity. As for his written guarantee, it would be l\ke his plans and specification, not worth the paper it was written on. I also repeat my f- rmer statement that the plans and specification are in such a disgraceful condition that it is impossible to tell where the extra work is yoinz to end; for, as far] can see at present, it will take in the vieini'y of $16,000 te make good the mistakes and blunders in them. This is one of the frnits ef the country having a one-man government. :

Chappell says that the plans were made in competition end in the winter time, therefore i' was unnecessary to take levels. What tad competition or w.nter season to do with preventing the level2 from heing taken? That is no excuse for the blunders. I now, again, cbarge bim with one of the most glaring and unmitigated falsehoods that a man could write when he states that the plans were put in Competition; for did not this man Chappell wear the soles off his boots chasing and tormenting Mr. Peters to I+t him prepare aretof pians as he could make the building considerably cheaper than the parties that Mr. Peters had order- ed to prepare the plans. This statement [ have from his own mouth, which he dare not deny; and acheap job he has given them for what does Mr. Peters know ebout plans bcyond the diff-renve in the figures of cost as estimated which were Chappell’s about $19,000 and ihe other architect gave an bonest e:ti mate of about $30,000. But Chappell by trickery and cheapness has fooled Mr. Peters who now knows. that it will take in the Vicinity of $10,000 extra, as [I have already stated to make the building safe and complete, for the use for which it is intended.

Chappell also says that I nave practic- ally no labour p.rformed. This is another falsehood, as I have already ex- cavation completed with the exception e a little top soilwhich will be thrown out after the foundation wall is built, all stone door and window sills and stone trimmings all on the ground and ready to put in the work, also all doors ana window frames ready to set, all sashes and doors, founda- tion stone and brick, al] framing lumber required, al! mortar prepared and all the necessary plant and tools for the construc- tion of the work. The greater part of this has been on the ground since the 23rd of April last, when I was prepared to goon with the work, 4nd which work would be now nearing completion if it had not been for the rascaly blundering and incompe- tency of C.B. Chappell, who styles himself an architect. As for Mr. Chappell’s fon! scurrilous and abusive language I will take no notice cf i, as heis better posted in that kind of writiug than he is in preparing plans and specifications.
