' 1 r. Rosa explained the financial gnes-
tions in dispute between the Provincial and
Dominion Governments, and suggested
that, other propositions failing, the Do-
minion and Province should appoint 'an
arbitrator each, and ,ehonld these faille
agree a third' should be appointed by these
too to adjust the matters finally.
Mr. H. E. Clarke was greeted with Oppo-
sition' oheers tie said that for a Dumber
of years past there had been a deficit. Any
perpon could natiefy themeeleee gboilt this
• 1;
by oonsulting the public aocounte, or . the
hon. gentleman's own authorized speech.
(Laughter.) The hon- gentleman never
dteelte on the deficits, but soars over they
depths of the surplus. The increase in
population, the development of the. Pro.
viuoe called for inoreaeed expenditure, but
there was no inorease in the population or
development of the Provincte to correspond
were the increased reoeipte ? It. man no
advautage to hide the true state of affairs
from the public by cooked statements.
could be shown from the hon. gentlemen's
own statements that the expenses had in-
creased $1,800,000. But no one- could
gather from the statement just furnished
to the House anything about the deficits
without great trouble. He attaoked the
-item-ot-annuities,- and claimed --that the
pre, deoeiueor Q1 the -lion.. S.CL Wood lefta
earplug in the treasury of $4,825,526 in
hard cash. Deducting the Dominion Gov-
ernment eubsidy, capitalized by the hon.
gentleman from the surplus of 1888, would
leave only'03,886,360, or 0939,000.1es° than
when the Conservatives vacated - the
Treasury benches. The vaunted surplus_
was only a wooden dummy. The hon.
gentlemen bad referred to the trust funds
tell by the Dominion Government. Theo
funds did not belong to the Province, but
to the municipalities. They were not
assets.
Mr. -Hardy-It is a mistake. ' We do own
them and they aro an asset.
. Mr. Creighton ohellenged the statement
of the Treasurer, and spoke for some time.
Mr. J.' Watere defended the amounts
paid by , the Government' to asylums and
public institutions.. He said that the
"principle item in the expenditure was the
increase in the mainteniinoeof the Central
Prison owing to the new regulations- Since
1873 a great many asylums had been added
to the Government list. The total receipts
eince 1871 were $86,663,902 ; the total ex-
penditure $85,726,325, leaving a balance by
this showing of $938,577. ' Add to this the.
capital account of drainage and other de-
bentures, which would give the surplus.

tively. How much of the fund the munioi-
palitiee imposed by bylaw over and above
the statutory duties in each of each years,
and what were the groes eiibounte paid to.
the munioipalitiee and theProvinoe respec-
tively for the same years.
Mr. Gibson (Hamilton) replied that the

Mr. Preston moved for an order of the
House for a return showing the number of
school's aided by grants from the poor
school fund for 1888 and 1889. He 'thought
there ehonld he a bests on which the' in-
formetion could be snpplied, and of which
none at preeent existed to hie knowledge.
Mr. Ross '(1kliddleeex) replied that the
desired information could be found in the
Plblic School accounts. He was not aware
that any changes..hed been made in the
regnlations,but if there had been -they were
slight. The department had .been guided in
their grants by the condition of the dis-
tricts to be aided.
Mr. Preston cited an instance in whish
he considered the' ainonnts bed not been
fairly divided, and urged a more equitable
dietrlbutiott of the grants.
The matter was allowed to stand.

ring -to the matter:- Since no one has
taken • it up - publicly I venture a
remonstrance. Many indignant persons
have tallied vigoronely in private, especially
mothers who have tried bard to shield their

then just at ,the places, leaet..expeoted-at

invited -never vicious young men, if it be

boys so carefully trained by devoted
parents. Jost here they'zneet-the•tempter

and the wine oup proffered by a white,
jewelled and perchance beloved hand ?
Under 'inch temptation young men have
to be stronger than human nature' makes
them if they do not fall. And yet Christian
men and women sit at Liook_on without -
a word of protest. Some•whose own eons

years was a complete wreck, all efforts at
reform were useless. People said to him :
" A man ought to have will power enough
to stop drinking when he knows it hurts

will power was gone." Kind friends
