TTAWA LETTER,
Ottawa, May 23rd,
To -day the House closed. The act
eventif l this week bas not been the
blaze of gannon and red uniforms and
gold lace of the closing,but the motion
of the Leader of the Opposition re-
specting the enormous expenditure, the
total amount passed this session being
$67,426,7233 ,Jr. Borden, in introduc-
ing a motion on expenditure made the
best speech be delivered this session, a
strong but moderate statement. What
used to be "extravagance" in the Tories
was "generosity" now. It was no
longer the people's looney that was be-
ing lavishly spent ; it belonged to the
government. In-.tbe past Eve years,
with an aggregate serpins of $20,945,-
10-1% they had added to the debt $08,-
795,373. The total of the consolidated
receipts in 1590 was $30.618,000, and in
the past year it was $50,029,000. and
yet the debt went piling up. He con-
cluded with a resolution in which he
recited that the total expenditure in
1892 was 842,272.136 ; in 1896, $44,096.-
385 ; in 1900, $52,717,466. The total.
amounts voted during the present ses-
sion aggregated 867,420,729. Moreover
according to the Finance Minister's es-
timates during the ensuing year, at
least a million dollars will be required
to pay bounties on iron and steel, so
that the slim might be larger. The
,notion concluded : "That the House
desires to place on record its ending
the 30th of June, 1901, and the pro-
posed expenditure for the year ending
the 30th June, 1902, are excessive, and
extravagant, and it regrets cleat the
Government, with an exceptionally
large revenue at its commaand, has not
only failed to reduce, but bas largely
increased the public debt, and has not
shown proper appreciation of the ex-
trerue difficulty. if not impossibility, of
reducing in future years the very high
standard of expenditure wisteb has
been fixed during a period of great
prosperity. Where were the Liberal
promises of economy r
AN INEFFECTIVE REPLY.
Mr. Fielding in replying to this fell
back on the old excuse that the busi-
ness of the country was increasing.
But the point of ilia'. Borden's criticism
is that there are lots of useless expend-
; itures. The export from a country re-
late to the energy of its citizens, its
farmers, its manufacturers. They
have nothing to do whatever with goy-
' ernment administration and it is cer-
tainly a little ridiculous. when Mr.
Borden says your expenditure is too.

• A. TOLL GATE IN THE WINDSOR.
During the discussion Mr. Rufus
Pope gave form to whispered rumours
in the followingmanner :
• Mr', Pope saithat Blaair's tollgate at
the Windsor hotel, Montreal, was well
' known. If they did not go in they
were given a few doses of Abbey's
fruit salts. .A. glance over the list of
the shareholders in Abbey's ftuit salts
would show those who had profited by
business with the government. The
way the promises of economy bad
been fulfilled Waif by crooked book-
keepin:. The tenderers for the St,
John elevators were told they mast
submit to cut estimates, and that the
Government would make it up some
other way.
Mr. Blair rose, and demanded
whether it was intended to say that he,
the Minister, ever made such a pro-
posal or enyone made it by his author
ity ? (Cries of "Nance.")
Mr. Pope -Did they know Thos. Met
calfe, who was let go to Chicago while
they were considering the tenders with
a well known go-between the Govern-
ment? (Cries of "Name.") Does the
Government know John O'Connor
Mr. Blair (excitedly) -I challenge„
the hon. gentleman.
Mr. Pope -Don't be in a hurry.
(Cries of "Name." "Put him out,"
"Address the chair.")
Mr. Speaker -I hope thehon. gentle-
man will address the chair.
Mr. Pope -If O'Connor was not a
go-between what was be 2 He took
Metcalfe for a walk, and ,his . name

eelasticity" for the purpose.
Mr. Blair rose with great indignation
and said that if the honorable gentle-
man meant any one in his department
had proposed any sort of arrangeruent
in connection with atender such as be
int imated it was without his authority.
The house divided with the results
of 101 to 51.
TSB INCREASE OE i waw INDEMNITY.
Another vote worthy of incident
was the increase of the indemnity. It
must be remembered that though
Laurier said be was proposing this on
reasons of justice,.the real reason is
becatnse he was held np last session by
the French Cnuaadian Members, who
exacted aapromise from him nn condi-
tion of calling off strike to increase
their indemnity to $500' a year. If
Laurier had goneto the country and
said be was going to do this it would
have been alright. but renioniber he
went to the countryand never .said
a word about his intention. As the
,question wasdiscussed last session, the
fact that Laurier did not mention it
to :,he electors and then dues the act
this session, the first session of a terve,
evidently in the hope that his conduct
will be forgotten in two or t hree years,
amounts to a piece of melon deception.
In fact whatever otter sentiment one
may have for Leorier there is one
sentiment in regard to hirn'.whirh no
Hien of the least sense of manhood can
have and that is respect.

Z. A. Lash, K. C., that no such money

out boldly in the interest of the public,
and Sir. Belcourt sneering at "inter-
minable objectious,'" and ?1r. Blair in
the House who said : "Tile Auditor -
General, if he had his way, would
make the Government of this country
absolutely impossible. He has an ex-

conduct, said that massy distinguished
members of the House did not con-
sider it inconsistent with the dignity
of the profession or the honor of Par-
liament to appear in claims against
the department. He should have told
us who these are. Who are they.
The Ron. Olark Wallace denounced
the conduct of Belcourt, and, dwelt on
the even more serious inoral aspect
given to the circumstances by the fact
that Mr. Belcourt did not think he had
been guilty of, to put it mildly, gross
indecency of conduct, Referring to
Mr. Beleourt's advocacy of the 1301

asked : "Did he get a fee for it F'

as as piece of wit by the Liberal mem-

it is the business of every man in Can-
osis r nor is there za right-thinking man
in the community who will not say

matter as that treated with levity on
the Government benches was a more
serious natter. Parliamentary honor
of the future.
Corruption will run rine at Ottawa
if once the nenrbecs of Parliament
sacrifice their independence for gain.
Tim s*:SSION s WOith:.
The session is remarkable for the
fact that the government .has come
stronger out for protection than in
any time in the past. It has given a
bounty on lead as well as a bounty on
steel and iron, and it holds out a pros-
pect of giving a bounty on steel ship-
building. The op ositian has proved
itself effective and the leaden'' Mr. R.
L, Borden. has fully justified the
choice made. But there are gaps in
its ranks which require to be filled rip
and several times during the session
the opposition members have uttered
the wish that Foster and Davin were
in its ranks, Some effort should be
and it is believed will be made to get
seats for then, Thus re -enforced the
opposition would be the most power-
ful that has ever been in. Canada.

HAS A SOCIAL, SiDE-
The Good ILonds .nuostlon hi Not a Mere
FInaanoial Proposition.
On the "social side" of the road
question W. II. Moore of St. Louis,
Mo„ president of the United States
Good Roads Association, writes:
The common roads of a country
are not only necessary to its devel-
opment, but their condition is a
measure of its civilization. The high-
est type of mental and moral culture
and development cannot be attained
without the means of easy and ra-
pid communication between all parts
and sections of the country. The
railway and telegraph lines are the
great modern oivilizers of the world;
but they are limited in their sphere
of usefulness, because they do not
reach the farm, the home, the coun-
try schoolhouse and church. The com-
mon road is the connecting link be-
tween these, and without it the pro-
gress of a widespread civilization
must of necessity be greatly retard-
ed. They are the foundation stones
upon which the superstructure of so-
ciety is erected and upon which its
symmetry, laeauto�, and stability must
rest. an
It has been stated by eminent
writers that railway and telegraph
lines, with the wonderful commercial
enterprises they make possible, are
in the end detrimental to a country
that has no proportionately adequate
system of common highways, because
of their tendency to congest the pop-
ulation by drawing the intelligent
and ambitious portion of the country
youths to the cities and centres of
conunercial enterprise, until the av-
enues of that class of labor are over-
crowded, the wages of labor de-
creased by undue and unnatural com-
petition, anti the surplus set adrift.
without the means of a livelihood, to
become beggars and criminals, in-
stead of delving in the soil front
which the primary wealth of the
world is secured, and in which avoca-
tion there has never yet been a sur-
plus of labor.
Then, too, it• is the youthful, in-
telligent, rugged and ambitious who
are thus being coaxed from the farm,
whose ,society is needed to stimulate
the sbaiggish who ere always con'. on t

Philadelphia, May 28. -It was de-
cided at yesterday morning's session
of the Presbyterian General Assem-
bly to hold the Assembly next ye r.,,
in the Fifth Avenue Church,, Now
York.
When the order of the day -the re-
vision of the Confession of Faith-
was reached, the moderator made le,
few remarks, advising against any
hasty action.
Jahns 1). Moffatt. D.D., President
of Washington and Jefferson Uni-
versity, who, on Saturday, gave no-
tice that he would offer an amend-
ment to the majority report, was
then recognized by the moderator.
Dr. Moffatt said. --"I hoped to
amend recommendation It. to meet
all objeetions. and to give it aROW
wording. Many good Hien wito
opposed the original form were
aiah•hned by the word 'Summary.'. I
have made a simple change, striking
ot't t he word 'Summar~',' and sub-
stituting 'Statement,' which ex-
presses just what we have in view.
Again, there is nothing in the prig=
Mal report to show what shall be
done with the sunhnhary. I wish to
remove all ambiguity and have it
stated plainly, that the committee to
be appointed will be required to re-
port to the ,next Assembly. and that
a recommendation be made to the
next Assembly to submit the entire
subject to the Presbyteries."
The iliajority Report.
"Your committee finds en examin-
nation of the returns from the Presby-.-
terie2 the following facts: - a
"First. That the returns indicate
that the church desires sotue changes
in its credal statement.
"Second, That the returns indicate -
that no change is desired which
would in any way impair the integ-
rity
ntegrity of the system of doctrine con-
tained in the Confession c)f Faith.
"Third, These returns indieatr that
it is the mind of the church that the'
Confession shall be interpreted
throughout in harmony with the+
teaching of Scripture that God is not
willing that anyone sltaall perish, nor
is it the decree of trod, but the wick-
edness of their own hetirts, which
struts mels out from the salvation
