SgAFORTH, FRIDAY, Sept. 25, 1891.
Quebec and Ottawa.
Lieutenant Governor Angers, of the
Province of Quebec, in a lengthy com-
munication, has made demands upon
the Government of that Province, which
may be sumarised as follows:
1. That explanations be given with
respect to the Beie des Chaleurs ear.'
2. That the Ministry co-operate with
him in the appointment of a Royal Com-
mission to irivestigate and report upon
all the facts and circumstances con-
nected with the disbursement of the
moneys voted to the Bah des Chaleurs
railway by the Legislature, his Honor
proposing the names of members of the
commission.
3. That the action of the Gavernment
be limited, until further orders-, to ur-
gent acts of administration.
4. That publia notice be given of his
revocation of the nomination of the
Deputy Lieutenant -Governor.
It is evident that the Lieutenant.
Governor has taken matters into his
own hands and means business. Whether
sr not he has a constitional right to
inakeeuch demands upon his advhers
and compel compliance is a question at
present in dispute. Sonne maintain aub
action to bea stretching of his constitu-
tional powers on the part of the Gov-
ernor. and that the representatives of
the people alone have authority to make
such demands upon the properly con-
stituted advisers of the Crown. How-
ever, be that as it may, it speaks well
ler the Government that they do not
intend to stand upon ceremony,but that
they have consented to comply with the
demands of the Governor. in every par.
ticular bat one.That exception is,that the
Governor named a commission of three
judges, and he stipulated that the Gov-
ernment should sanction his recommen-
dation in this as in other respects. To
this Mr. Mercier objected, and proposed
that the commiseion should consist of
one judge, whom he nam.ed. It would
seem that the Governor has conceded
this point, as the statement is 110W
made that every point has been ami-
cably arranged between the two parties.
The Government could have placed the
Governor in a very delicate position had
they been so disposed. Had they re-
fused to comply with his demands,
which, we must say, were not testy
courteously made, they would have
forced him either to dismiss them or to
himself resign. Had he taken the foie
mer 0-ourse, it is every way probable
the Government would have been again
re-elected and sustained by the peop14,
as Mr. Mercier and his colleague!!
would have been afforded an exce11e4
opportunity of raiting a cry against
Federal aggression and dictation. Thit
1
it a pint on which the French Canal-
diau heart is very sensitive, and they
are very jealous of any encroachment
upon teir autonomy, aud would be,
sure ta resent them. However, the
Government have taken the better
course, land one which thows welt., in
their favor. A thoroughly impartial
investigation into the seandals raised
will no' be made and the truth concern.
ing them will be known. If the Gov-
ernment, or any member of it, have
been guilty af wrong doing, they will
be fittinjgly punished, and if shown to
be inno
ordeal s
ever.
thus de
ent they will emerge from the
tenger and more popularthan
t is well that the matter id- to be
nitely and impartially settled.
The people are not so careful of the
means employed as they are of the re-
suiti What the people want to know isj
the truth concerning the matter, and
they are not dispased to split hairs
about the means to be adopted to get
at the truth.
In vievr of the action of the Lieu -1
tenent-Governor of Quebec, it may not
be out of place to inquire what is outi
own Governor General doing? Anything
that has been even mooted about Quebec
affairs does not at all compare in iniquitY
to what has been brought to light at
Ottawa in connection with one single
depertment of the public servioe„ to say
nothing of the rottenness of the others!
And yet Slur Goveruor-General does not
seem to blithe least bit disturbed. He
does not appear so particular about the
company he keeps as the Qnebec gentle-
man, or perhaps he - h

these comniittejue and he final i' tion of

be deprived of their usefulnes . The
invariable rule is that a few of the
little sinners are disgr ced and punish-

ones are white lished and all wed to
go free. The r le bas not been broken
this session. T o of hese Committees
have already re orted. That. enquiring
into the charge prefe red against Mr.
Cochrane of se ling ublic offices has
• reported, freeing the principal culprit
from blame, and the report hes been
adopted by the House. The Privilegee
and Elections Coinmit •e have reported
on the Tarte-Mc reevy charges, and -the
report condemns cGr evy, who is oafs
beyond Canadia la and Canadian
public opinion, an ex nerates-in fact
rather sympithi es ith-Sir Hector
Langevin, who ea be r ached,and under
whose very nose t e ro beriea which the
report condemns ere committed, and
who, being the chi f cul rit of the party,
should receive the eve est punishment.
The House will els ad pt this teport,
although every me bar whcr vote* for it
says by his vote that th astute politic-
ian, who has been he c lei of the prin-
cipal money spend' g d pertinent of the
Government for th pas ten years is,
and has been, an 14ibeoile. They thee
free, as far as they can, Sir Hector iron]
the results of his ghilt, but in doing so
they characterize lilm an imbecile, and
in this way Dens+ "le - Government
they so slavishly a ported, as no Gov.
ernment worthy of he name would re-
tain a fool in so r.sonsibIe a position
for one day much 1e4i for ten years.
If a Royal Comm sloo were appointed
to inquire into the ¶ari�is charges that
have been, opened up thus far, and
others that may s4se, with all the
necessary powers it hold have, there
is no doubt a state off a airs would be
revealed that would o. n the eye. of
the most sceptical. h re would be no
white -washing of the pri cipal criminals
or keeping back deniagi g evidence by
. ,
such a tribunal. 1Th whole truth
would have to come Out nd the guilty
would be punishedi I the Governor-
General were Worth !hie It he would
have insisted; long ere t is, on the ap.
pointment of such! a mmissiou. If
Mr. Abbott would prop se an investi-
gating commission othi kind instead
of the one he has primis d, some Willie
good might be Remon pl. hed, jalthough
himself and his ctillea nes might be
condemned. He is, how ver, too old a
fish to propose anytii ing of that kind.
But, if there is neediof s oh a cleaning
out of rotteni places at Q ebec, there 'is
ten times greater need of a similar purg-
ing at Ottawa. Letjunc ean places in
the public service, wtietber at Qtiebec,
Ottawa, Toronto or else here, be lopked
after, and let justicelbe eeted cult to
all alike, and let noniii of the guilty be
shielded from punishme t simpl be-
, ;
cause they may stand a 1 ttle higher in
the politicaland soci41 �c; le than +ere.
Let all be treated alike. That is the
way, and the onlk w 'y to secure onest
government.
The Reason f�rhs Differ nee.
Those who point ojit the evil ffects
onifthis country of th. ational olicy
and advocate as, a remedy Recip ocity
with the United Statep, 're accue di by
their opponents of incinisistency. They
say if we had Free Trade ith our eigh-
bora we would have •o adopt itheir
tariff, and, consequen ly if our lower
tariff is injurious •to fthis country she
would suffer much mor greviou ly if
under the higher tariff of the nited
States. This mode o r asoning as a
certain plausibility 40 t it, bu has
nothing more substantial to rest pon.
In the first place, it w ul not he eces-
sary for Canada to i!id pt the United
States tariff in the ev hit of Free rade.
Those who advocate ree Trade o Un-
restricted Reciprocitylpr pose that each
country retain control1 of its own ariff.
But, supposing Canad, d d have to dopt
the higher America* • riff, whi h is
not admitted, even th n the' r sults
would not be eo 41s& trous to this
country as now. The la ger the s here
in which we have ;01 o rate, the lam
14
disastrous will be the re ults of a high
tariff. The reason t t the UOited
State have prospered un er their h her
toriffe while Caned h retrog aded
te country and t e camper tive
under her lower one, s, be vasto s of
he o
matinees of the oth r. Altheng the
United States have pr spared der
their high tariff, we belie e their on.
perity would have bee very soh
greater during the peat years if hey
had enjoyed Free Trade. But •the
United States have a populetion of
sixty millions, while Canada has only a
population Of five millions. The popu-
lation of Canada is not so large as that
of the State if New York and other.
single States of the Union. If, there-
fore, the several Statile of the Union had
uot had free intercourse with each other,
or'if each hada tariff wall against the
other, np s ne person will contend that
their prog ess 'and prosperity would
haveboon 'anything like what it has
,beemi So with Canada. Canada is too
small in p.opulation to hedge herself
about by a high tariff wall, and in do-
ing eo she only destroys her prospects
for advancement and neutralises the
beaefioial influence of her splendid na-
, „
tura,' advantages. If she were given
the same scope for trade that the
United' States enjoys, her advancement
could not fail to be greater 1 as her
natural advantages are much superior.
All she wants is room and freedom. Un-
til she gets , these we do net look fot
anything cite than that her population
will be stationery and her splendid
natural resources undeveloped, while
the very flower and pick of her native
borne people will go ,where that room
can be found-, as they have been doing
for the past ten years.

IT WOULD seem that Mr. T. Dixon
Craig, M. P., is not an ordinary member
of 'Parliament. A few Sundays ago,
While at his home in Port Hope, he ec-
cupied the pulpit of the Baptist cinirch
in that town. It is said that he preachn
el a feeling and eloquent sermon from
the text, "Let the wicked forsake his
way." It is an exceptional thing for
politicians,. and .especially those of them
who get into Parliament, to be gifteZ in
that way. They generally run a little
too much in the contrary direction. It
creditable to Mr. Craig, how-
ever, if he can make the two work
successfully and harmoniously to.
gather,. and it would be well for our
country if more of our politicians
would doehe same thing. But what we
want to remark specially is, that the
alibied taken by Mr. Craig" for his text
is a remarkably appropriate one for
Ottawa at the present time, and if he
were to repeat his sermon .to his col-
leagues there it might have a most ben-
eficial result.
Hon. Thos. litcGiuteve, the fugitive
member of the Dominion Parliament, is
sojourning at Portland, Blaine. An Ott
!awe gentionum met him there and
dined with him. This gentleman says,
Uncle Thomas seems to be enjoying
himeell, arid like Mr. Charles Rykert,
another boodling and disgraced M. P., ,
he sayi-Ve not half so bad as many
other n4igbers who have seats in the
House. This is quini likely, as it is a
fact that Mr. -McGreevy Is now a fugi-
tive fram the vountry, not on account of
the crimu he has committed, but to
escape punishment for refusing to give
evidence before a Parliamentary Com-
mittee that was calculated to incrimi-
nate others. Those whom Mr. MO-
Greevy is shielding are still, no doubt,
voting and speaking in Parliament.
What a tale some of these rascals could
unfold if they only would.
MR. LISTER created a sensation lathe
House of Colnmons on Tuesday.- when he
gave notice t that he would move for a
special committee to enquire into the
statement that he made,that Postmaster.
General Haggart, in 1879, being then a
member of the House, had an interest in
and derived profits from a firm of con-
tractors engaged in building a section of
the Canadian Pacific railway, between
Port Arthur and Rat Portage, knowh
as Section 13. He further stated he
believed he could prove that the con-
tract Was given at an improeetly high
price and that the contractors were
largely drawn -on for .campaign pur-
poses. If this case goes on it will like-
ly be a second edition- of the Tarte-
McGreevy business.
DOMINION PARLIAMENT.
(From Our Own Correspondent.)
OrrAwA, September 22nd, 1891.
At last the verdict in the Tarte
chargs against Sir Hector Langevin
and Mr. Thomas McGreevy has been
rendered, and to -day is being submitted
to the judgment of the whole House.
I
The committee' presented two reports to
the Housenme drawn up by the majority
conga ing of Conservatives and the
other by the minority, consisting of
Liber la. In popular parlance the ma-
jority report " whitewashes" Sir Hector
Langevin, but condemns Mr. McGreevy
,
and v rioui other minor sinners connect-
ed with the conspiracy. The report de-.
elates it to have been a conspiracy but
that ir Hector Langevin Was innocent
of its existence.
Th Ininnrity report takes theopeesite
view hat Sir Hector Langevin must
have been cognizant of the use to
which the Department over which he
presided was put, especially when all
the c tinges and privileges in favor of
the co tractors were sanctioned by the
Minis r, and very often by Order -in
Counc 1 upon the Minister's recommend-
ation. It declares Sir Hector and his
chief I Engineer, Mr, Parley, to have
had k4iowledge of these various trauma
tions . d in consenting to them to' be
guilty of breach of public trust. In a
word, they say:that 81r !Hector should
be cen d by the ileum of Commons
which Weald mean Ms expulalitn -front
Perlis With ' regard to the per -
,
Bonet charges ageinst the Minister of
having received mpney for his own use;
the Liberals say that the proof ageinst
stir Hector's denial is not strong enough
to condemn him. The debate which be-
gins to -day is expecetd to last without
interruption until Thursday night, Mr.
Tarte, who brought the chargee and who
is responsi le for the disclosures, will
inlen and t e beat debatng talent in the
speak for t ree hours and the foremost
House will be heard at length. The
debate wilf be rebbed of one great ele-
ment of interest by the knowledge that
the minds of most of the members of
the Ilouse are already made up as to
how they will vote. I venture to pre-
dict, howe er, that the majority sup-
porting the Government on this vote
will be under •20.
TE E CHARG E:3 AGAINST COCHRANE.
The chmeges againet the member for
East Nort hu mberland, I Mr. Ed ward
Cochrane, brought by Mk. M. C. Caine
eron, have been disposed of, so far as
the House of Comment is concerned.
The special committee which invetti-
• gaited theso charges did not agree upon
a report, tnd the Coneervatives carried
their report in committee by the casting
vote of the chairman, Col. Tisdale. The
Liberals preeented the minority report,
which will also presented to the How,
The debate, took place on Thursday, end
was remarkable in that the leaders on
either eide took no part in the debate,
although Sir Adolphe Caron, Minister
of Militia, ivas a member of the Com-
mittee. The discussion was carried on
by Megan!. Cameron (Huron), White
(Shelburne), Barron, Masson, German,
Flint, Skinner, Mulock, OB'rien, The
sensation of the division was the vote
given by Col. O'Brien, Government sup-
porter from Muskoka. He did not
agree with the report brought in by the
Liberals, but he teemed to fevor it rath-
er more than the report brought in by the
Conservatives, which he characterized
with great scorn as "a contemptible
piece of epeoial pleading." He voted
against the adoption of the Liberal. Re-
port, and he also voted aphid the adop-
tion of the Government Rewire Upon
rising to vote against the Government,
he was loudly hiseed by the Minister -
billets, but with soldierly bearing and
earnest face he etood erect and treated
the conduct of his colleagues with silent
contempt. Mr. Tarte, who has identified
himself with the Liberals lately, voted
with the Government, and his friends
say that his attitude is inconsistent with
the demand that he should be sup-
ported in condemning the Quebec
boodlers. The vote steed, Government
99, 'Opposition 74; a Government major-
ity of 25 on the Liberal report, but on
the motion to adopt the Government re-
port the majority was only 23.
FLEECING TRX rRuLlsTINEs.
The evidence of Mr. Scott, book
keeper of the Dominion type foundry in
Montreal, given bete the Public Ac-
counts committee in the investigation
into the Printiog Bureau scandals and
into . Mr. Chaplain's department, con
ducted by Me. Lister, the member for
West Lambton, showed that Mr. Chap
Jean having first refused to acknowledge
Mr. Senecalti right to Igive the order for
type which he had given to this found-
ry, afterwards relented and allowed the
company to deliver $6,000 worth of
type, upon which he psId them $5,000;
and out of that $5,000 the Dominion
Type Foundry Company gave the Con-
servative Association ef Montreal a
cheque for $1,500. The President of
the Company, Mr. Murrayi was a Lib-
eral, and seems to have been" held up"
by his political opponents and made to
" fork over," for when he gave the or
der to the book keeper, Mr. Scott, to
draw up the cheque to Francois Benoit,
Pres' m
' it of the Conservative Associa-
tion he said, "You Tories are a d -n
bad lot." Mr. Benoit himself was sum-
moned before the COmmittes and se-
knewledged having received this cheque
and that it went for political purposes,
and for the benefit of the Conservative
party, As usual, exciting scenes con-
tinue to be the feature of the meetings
of the Public Aeeounts Committee,and
on one occasion the Minister of Finance
declared a staterhent by Mr. Lister to
be false and added, "you know it," to
i which Mr. Lister replied, "you have no
right to use that expretsion, and we will
see more about it elsewhere," leaning
with white face and ominous look to-
wards Mr. Foster. Afterwards they
both apologised and took it back. John
Lovell, the well known publisher of
Montreal, testified that the Printing
Bureau was a model establishment sur-
passing in 'excellence anything' he had
seen either in England or in the United
States, but when asked if he knew how
much it cost, he said he did not.
This committee is to -day finishing up
itif investigations into the Interim. De-
partment, the Poet Office Department
and the Public Works Department and
entering upon the investigation of a
new scandal connected with the Depart-
ment of Railways and Canals over
which the late Sir John Macdonald pre-
sided. On .Thursday they will resume
the enquiry into Mr. Chapleau's admin-
istration.
THE QUEBEC CRISIS.
A letter written by Lieutenant Gover-
nor Angers to Premier Mercier has been
brought down to Parliament by Premier
Abbott and published, and in it appears
the Governor's reasons for calling for the
appoilitment of a Royal Commission to
investigate the Bide des Chaleurs mat-
ter. He goes very far, naming the
Judges who compose that commission,
and forbiddiug Mr. Mercier to perform
any acts of public administration except
those of urgent administration. Mr.
Merceir's reply has not yet been pub-
lished, but I have private information
from Quebec that he is willing to re-
fer the whole matter to an inquiry
conducted by Chief Justice Johnsen.
This would mean that the Governor
would have to back down from the po-
sition he has taken of .having the tight
to name the Judges or dictating in
any respect to the mode of inquiry. MrMercier insists that he is responsible
only to the Legislature which put him
to the head of affairs, and by whose
favor alone he lives as Prime Minister.
It is the old struggle of responsible
Government against the interference of
the Crown, which Was settled by Bald-
win -and Lafontaine in the days gone by.
On a constitutional question it is under-
stood that Mr. Mercier takes a firm
stand andinefets,upon the recognition of
his rights as the head of the Govern-
ment. There is a great deal of talk
here about -the impropriety of publishing
to the world a con ends! cominnnica-
tion from the Lieutenant Governor to
his chief advisor. Mr. Abbott admitted
that the propriety of bringing deirie this
document was doubtful and that the
matter was under the :consideration of
the Government.' It is _elect -said that
Lieutenant Governor !Ang re himself
warmly prolteited against th ublication
of an official document .w ch he had
transmitted to the Governor General in
confidence. .
AN ADDREsS TO THE QUEEN.
Mr. A bbothwill to -ley mote the adop-
tion of an eddreni to the Queen upon the
subject of commercial treaties, the
whole trend of which is to assert the
right of Canada to the fullest possible
liberty in negotiating treaties of com-
merce With foreign nations. Its especial
object is to drew etteation to the
treaties which -Grcat Britsin has made
with foreign nations containing what is
known Its " the most favored nation
clause," under whieh it would be iin-
post ible for a British colony to negotiate
a treaty of reciprocity with any other
country under which the goods Of the
nation havirg a treaty With . Great
Britain would be discriminated against.
The memorial state i that: Your me-
morialists earnestly desire to foster and
extend the trade the Dominion
with the Empire, with its great neighbor
the United -States and with other
countries throughout the world, and
believe that by mutual concessions and
the adoption of measures for the ar-
rangement of trade relations between
the various portions of the British Em-
pire, important and lasting beneficial
results, may be obtained."

BISHOP NEWNAN'S ADDRESS TO yOUNG
PREACHRES AT DETROIT. -At the Metho-
dist Conference in Detroit last week
Bishop Newman; In addressing the can-
didates for ordination'said the clergy-
men who received a salary of $2,000 to
$4,000 a year, then delivered four or five
lectures a week at $50 to $100 for each
lecture, were guilty of commercial dis-
honesty. He made the candidates
promise not to use tobacco or ruinlin any
form. The Methodist church WWI anti -
tobacco and anti -ruin. This pledge was
for all time, he said. When he once ex-
amined mach a class in the South he
asked this question and they all answer-
ed in the affirmative. The next day he
found some of them using tob.cc and
took them to task for it, but, upon
questioning, found that thn pledg was
taken with a Mental rehervatio and
meant oly for one day. That wci Id not
do here.
