In consequence of the welt -founded de
mond of the people, through the press, some
few months ago, for a reduction of the
enormous expenses incurred in the conduct
of government in Canada, promises were
thrown out by certain ministerial organs, by
a member of the Ministry, and the Gover-
nor Geoeral's speech, which induced all to
hope that a sound system of economical
management was about to take the place of

Catharine., quoted from above, devo'oped
