THURSDAY, Apr. r, ],4th, 1892;:
EDG.J. f'S C.l`LtRGES,.
The policy which. the Apposition
leave been flaunting before the elector-
ate for the past few years having ut-
terly failed of its object, .their leaders
have resorted to a game of bluff in
their preset t hopeless condition and
are now playing neon the credulity of
their followers by rakingup old defunct
charges against certain members of
-Government. For a while, it was the
Rott.1\fr. IIaggart, late Post Master
General, who was the subject of the
unjust criticism. Failing utterly to
establish any breach of the Parliament
Independence Act, in Mr, Iiaggart's
case, their latest attack is directed a-
gainst Sir A.P. Caroil,the present Ileacl
of the Postal Department. Mr, Edgar
was the out eelected to voice the senti
ments of the Opposition. What this
political purist asked the House to do
was that the committee on. Privileges
and Elections be empowered to investi-
gate cettain general charges, in which
it is contended that from 1882 to 1891
-a period covering, two general elect
ions -Sir A. P. Caron received from
contractors interested in two railways
in Quebec large stuns of money, which
he applied in debauching the constit-
uencies through which. those lines of
railway ran. Tho charges are of the
most vague and general character,and
Would necessit: to an inquiry into twee
ty-two constituencies; and supposing
that Sir..A. P. Caron were guilty of he
charges -which he has open.y denied
on the floor of the House -it would in-
volve a session of parliament far long-
er, and a waste of the public money
much greater, than was expended last
session when the Government allowed
the widest latitude to the Opposition
in the investigation of certain breaches
in the Civil Act, rather than be sup
posed to wink at wrong doing. More
than all that, no specific charges are
made in Mr. Edgar's motion before the
House -no bill of particulars are giv-
en, such as the law requires in any or
dinary elaim before the courts -on the
contrary the House is asked to give to
the Committee on Privileges and Elect-
ious a roving commission to go upon a
fishing excursion into the Province of
'Quebec, to summon witnesses and to
protect the session of parliament indefi-
nitely with no other result, perhaps
than that the charges are "not proven."
Sir John Thompson with his usual abil-
ity and parliamentary experience
pointed out that Parliament has wisely
decided to refer all such matters to a
legal tribunal, so as to remove their
adjudication away from the passions
and political camploxion of members
of parliament to the decision' of com-
petent and impartial judges. As stat
ed by the Minister of Justice, the char-
ges preferred by Mr. Edgar against
the Head of the Postai Department do
not properly come within the purview
of the House; but that. so far as the
.Government or any member of it is
concerned, they were prepared to meet
• without flinching any specific charge
or charges of r,rollt;doiug brought
against them. The publie will remem-
ber that last seseion the Government
dealt out simple justice to friend and
to foe- where specific charges of mal
feasance were proven; and it is well
to remember that in the McGreeyy
case, where the attempt by the leaders
of the Liberal party to convict of
wrongdoing involved an immense
waste of time and money, the leading
organ of the Opposition had the effront-
ery since then to declare the party con-
victed to be an honorable gentleman
worthy of the people's confidence! Of
-course, it makes all the difference as to
who is being gored. The public has
had ample ground for confiding in the
honesty and fair dealing of the Abbott
-Thompson administration; and if Mr.
Edgar or his political associates have
any real grounds for making specific
charges let them implead the parties
concerned before the proper tribunals
and not waste the time of the House
and the people's money by fishing for
• boq•us charges of corruption.
FE AND OUR NEIGHBORS.
According to an official statement
the amount paid by the United States
Government for pensions during the
:4iscal year ending 15th June, 1801 ,was
124,415,951, against $109,857,534 in
1890, and 887,044,779 in 1889. The
total expenditure for the pest ten
years amounted to $?78,282,100. On
the 18th June, 1801, the net debt of
Canada amounted to $287,800,080. the
interest eutidg amountedl to $9,584,1 88
It will be seen, therefore, that in the
matter of pensions the Covor^nmont of
the, United States pnvs aimlally nearf
ly half as molal as the total net debt of
Canada, In the ease of Canada, her
public debt was mainly incurred in
the construction of "public works of
great utility," as Sir Waimea Cart-
wright described them in a circular
addressed to British eapitelists when
he went to London in 1874 to negotia-
to a loan, These useful public works
iuelude the following items among oth-
ers; Canals and railways, including
the Canadian Pacific, $150,242,431;
Dornittion lands, $8,218,141; railway
subsidies, $9,580,992. In addition to
these amounts there were paid out of
the Dominion Treasury $30,743,592
lowauce to provinces; for territorial
expenses $3,792.970; expenses of and
discount on loans $10,257,478; provis
ion for deficits (which annually stared
the Government iu the facedurinl the
Mackenzie regime), $19,849,427. As
has been said time and again, if Can-
ada has a large debt it has beed incur-
red in maguilrcent investments,
THE TRUE C011PASISOZ'T.
It must often have occurred to the
patient and puzzled hearers of Grit
spouters, ter ask themselves what' ob-
ject the excited orators had in compar-
iug, say, expenditure in e given year
in the past with the expenditure to day?
There is no reasoning in such a com-
parison, as Mr. Davin pointed out in
his reply to Mr. Davies on Tuesday
night. What would be the signtficence
of comparing the expenditure of an
unmarried man of twenty.with the ex-
penditure of the same man at forty, he
having meantime become the head of
a family. The true comparison would
be between the present state of our in-
come, expenditure,volume of trade,etc,,
had the Grit party remained in power,
and Grit principles obtained We. can-
not give the figures with certa.inty;but
we can guess at them. Was there any-
thing in .grit policy to increase our pro-
perty? Anything to add to our incomes
Anthing to increase our volume of
trade? One has only to recall the state
of depression and gloom in 1877, the
hopelessness which prevailedto be able
to answer with certainty in the nega-
tive. But look at the Dominion of Can-
ada as it is to -day and compare it with
what that Dominion would have been
had the Grits remainedin power. There
would have been no Northwest opened
up; the C. P. R. would be a fetr hiun-
dred miles west of Winnipeg; and- east
of Winnipeg we shoiild, grave 'a ; hybrid
system 'of rails and water. *stretches.
Would the credit of Canada and in such
circumstances be what it is to -day?
Where would the 20,000,000 bushels of
wheat raised by the Northwest in 1891
be? Would the most rabid Grit in
Canada looking . in 'the two pictures
choose the one we should have before
us had Reform rule continued if he had
the power? The answer is -he would
not.
'.l'he comparison made in the House
by the hour and fiom the platform don't
fulfil the conditions of true reasoning,.
and no sound inference whatever can
be drawn from them. Take the talk
about the census ---what is the signific-
ance of it finless the Grits ha ve a secret
by which they could have increased
the population. But had they been in
power there would not ever have been
the increase there had been. They do
not, we suppose, pretend that Grit rule
favors marriage or large families more
than Conservative rule. How, then,
would the population have increased
more under Mills or Cartwrights? They
are opposed to spending money ou im-
migration, and the have no policy -by
which a growth of population could be
fostered

THE SPRING,
Of all seasons in the year, is the one
foe making radical changes in ,regard
to health. During the winter the sys-
tem becomes to a eertaiu extent elog
ged with waste, and the blood loaded
1vith impurities, owing to lack of exer-
cise, close eontinementment in poorly
venitlated'shops and homes, and other
causes. This is the cause of the dull,
sluggish, tired feeling so general at
this season, and which nliist be over
come, or the health may be entirely
broken down. Hood's Sarsaparilla has
obtained the greatest popularity alt
over the Country as the favorite Spring
Medicine. It expels the accumulation
of impurities through the bowels, kid-
neys, liver, lungs, and skin, gives to
the blood the purity and quality lieces-
sary to good health and overcomes
that tired feeling
Officer A. IL 1dratiey
of the Fallgiver Police
Is highly gratified with Hood's Sarsap :ri1L.,
Ile was badly run clown, had no appetite,
Rliat he did eat caused distress and he felt
tired all the nine. .A. few bottles of Hood's
Sarsaparilla effected a marvellous change.
Tho distress in the stomach is entirely gene,
he feels like a new span, and can eat any-
thing with old-time relish. For an of whieh
he thanks and
cordially recom-
mends Hood's
Sarsaparilla. It
is very important that during the months of
tllaroh April May the blood should be
thoroug ily purified and the system be given
strength to withstand the debilitating effect
of the changing season. For this purpose
Hood's Sarsaparilla possesses peculiar merit
and it is the Been Spring Medicine -
The following, just,
ri received, demonstrates
its wonderful bloom.
