Wasted' Eloquence.
n describing , the Budget debtae,
w, ich is now in progress, the Ottawa
coerespondent of the Toronto Telegram
lif us a small cornerof the curtain and
gi es outsiders glimpse of how ex-
ce dingly exciting, interesting and
us ful these discUssions really are ;
w at a powerful influence these long
s eeches that are daily delivered have
in the way of fluencing Parliament,
a d affecting a r suit in the House. He
mays :
The Budget d bate drags its tiresome
c urge along. I is said that a couple of
sciore of membe s have yet to speak.
T ere is Jiow n breath of freshness in
the hou of tal . The whole subject
he been talked mit and if it were not
f r the Hansa d reporters plodding
p tiently over he note books at the
litt10 table `in t e centre of the floor,
hose reports wi I be franked over each
e timable talk es constituency we
ould be spar d this weariness. If
there was the fa ntest hope of a breeze
springing up dur ng the debate it would
be a mitigation o the misery, but there
is not. When the House is in supply
t ere are spells qf dead color, but there
is always the pro ability of a storm, for
s pply clouds gajther and storms break
w th the sudden ess and fierceness of a
Y Ilow Sea simo n. The house may heve
la n inert and dr way for hours, and in a
m nute it will be HIertand in battle-arrey-
e . But in this Budget debate nothing
is said that has not been said a hundred
ti es much more forcibly and if it be
an angering thin much more aggravat-
ingly. How lit le the members who
may not happen to be speaking regard
the discussion is shown by the holding
of the Tarte enq iry upstairs while it is
going on, and b the large attendance
upstairs, while d wn below the chamber
ii left to the ami ble Mr. Speaker, the
ii
patient Hansard reporter, the persever-
ing talker and r we of empty benches.
Under such unfla4ering circumstancetthe
speeches are delivered which are going
out to hon. members' awe-struck consti-
tuents.
It would save time, money and breath
0 members woul have their speeches
revised and publ bed directly in Han-
sard and franke to their constituents,
without going through the farce of
delivering them n Parliament. It is a
wonder some en rprising member does
not propose th method. In many
deliberative tend es, to save time, docu-
ments are acce d as read without
having been res at all. How would it
do for Parliame t to accept the orations
of members as • °livered and thin save
the time, labor a d pain of delivery, for
it must cause a self-respecting man
absolute pain to peak for hours to empty
benches. 1
Sir John cDonald's Will.
The will Of he late Sir John A.
Macdonald has en probated, and has
also been pub idled in full. It was
generally sup sed that Sir John Moo-
donald lived nd died a poor man.
How this impr mien got abroad we do
not know, unle a it originated from the
fact that the 1ate Premier, in his public
addresses, freq ently alluded to himself
as being in st aightened circumstances.
It now tran pires, however, that all
such suppositions were falacious. As
required by 1 w Sir John's executors
have sworn WI the nature and extent of
his estate. The following is the inven-
tory given:
Mortgage... ... .. ............ $ 7,300
Life assuranc s 15,000
Bank shares and other stocks
and simian es— . 41,375
Deposit recei to
5'°°0
Railway bons 7,420
Cash an hand 460
In bank 7,527
Real estate 20,000
the dividends therefrom to my wife m
dhring her life, and after her decease to ,e
deal with the said shares in the manner
hereinbefore provided with respect to
m;ey general personal estate, with power
frre sell the said shares, or any portion
thereof, and invest the proceeds thereof
in some one or more of the modes of
investment hereinafter mentioned in
trust, and to pay the dividends or
income therefrom to my wife during her
life, and after her death to deal with
the said last mentioned investment in
the manner hereinbefore provided with
kespeot to my general personal estate."
, It is quite possible that Sir 'John
ecquired these shares by legitimate pur•
lchame. But, even taking this view of the
ease, it was eminently improper that he
h
ould hold any such interest in a eon-
lcern that was so largely subsidised out
lof the public treasury over which he
was the principal guardian, and which
hvas, in addition, continually seeking
ifavors from the parliament of which he
!held the control. We have no intention
Id even insinuating that his conduct
towards the company was influenced on
account of the pecuniary interest he
!held in it, but the actions of men in such
'positions should be above suspicion.
The 'press, therefore, should not allow
!sentimental influences to prevent them
condemning all such proceedings, whether
they have been practised by those now
living or by those who have departed.
If such things are excused in the dead,
no matter how much their memory may
be respected, th4y will soon be pra( deed
lby the living.
Prove It.
The Toronto Telegram, a " which and
t'other " paper, of Conservative _lean-
ings but professing independence, says :
Fortunately for the Ontario Govern-
ment its administration of the provincial
finances enjoys an immunity from effec-
tive criticism. There is no strong man
in the Opposition to follow up every hint
of evil doing. Thus such virtue, that
is, an absence of a proved iniquity, is
the jewel in the crown of the Mowat
ministry. Its radiance could beelimmed
Iby a politician who could get inside in
that would show how the,
itreasury is being looted in many of the
!public institutions of Ontario.
I It is true the above is not very com-
plimentary to the Opposition in the
Ontario Legislature, but it is the prac-
tise of these so-called independent pa-
pers when they say a nasty thing of
Ione party they must, in order to give
!force tie their utterances, say something
!as uncomplimentary of the opposite
'party, whether it is deserved or not.
iThie is the way they keep their balance.
We are not prepared to say whether or
lnot it is true that "the treasury is being
!looted in many of the public institutions
lof Ontario." What we are prepared to
isay is, that no such " looting " has ever
been charged, much less pi?oven, in
!open Parliament. If the Telegram
'knows of any such cases it should throw
lupon them the light it possesses that the
public may judge. If it does not know
of any such cases, but is simply making
It. statements at random, it is guilty of
slander. It should go further or else it
'should not have said anything. If the
Telegram or any person else can prove
that the Ontario Governm ent has per-
mitted the public treasury to be looted,
it will be found that few of the paper
which now support the Government wil
condone or cover up the offence, bu
they will be the loudest in oondemnin
the offence, and in demanding the pun
ishment of the guilty parties, be the
high or low. If,therefore, the Telegra
desires to have the Government hunte
out, all it needs do is to prove t
charge which it makes above, and tb
Government will soon go.
$104,082
On additiou to the above there is 11
f and of $80,00, subscribed some years
ago by the friends and admirers of the
late Premier l and which was invested
for the benefit of Lady Macdonald and
the earning e of which she has since,
enjoyed and still receives. These
figures show that Sir John Macdonald
was anything but a. poor man and that,
while serving his country he did not
neglect hie o n personal interests. For
this, of couree, he is not blamable, as it
is only right and proper that every man
should take iare to make due pecuniary
provision forj the comfort of himself an
family, and e do not think the amoun
Sir John Macdonald has left is any

which the Dundee Banner remarks:
"The Empire is very much annoyed at
the exposures that are being made at
Ottawa, as it is a firm believer in the
eleventh commandment, which as e
"Thou shalt not be found out." at
while it is scolding at such a terri le
rate it should bear in mind that r.

have been made are the result of a

ENT.
Caron was always after him, and then
there was Sir Hector at Three Rivers.
As a matter of fact Mr. Valin's oppo-
nent beat him in 1887 by a majority of
one.
r. Vain also swore that in 1887 Mr.
Thomas McGreevy informed him that
Larkin Connolly & Co., the contractors,
had contributed generously to the
election fund; that they were good
fellows; that they should be taken care
of, and that Sir Hector was well pleased
with them. Mr. Valin hinieelf received
political subscriptions from Murphy for
the elections of 1887. The cross-exami-
nation brought out the fact that Mr.
Valin had been promised a plaoe in the
Senate if he would retire from the field
in Montmorency, and not having got it
the inference was, that Mr. Valin's
testimony was that of a disappointed
man.
ANOTHER BLOW AT MACGREEVY.
On Friday Julien Chabot swore that
the steamer " Admiral " which had a
contract with the Government and a
subsidy of $12,500 a year and stood in
his name, was really owned by Hon.
Thos. McGreevy, who did not wish it
known, as the contract was a breach of
the Independence of Parliament Act.
THE LATE PREMIER'S WILL.
The will of the late Premier has been
probated. The fact that in it he be-
queathed a block of C. P. R. stock
discloses what no one ever dreamed, and
what everybody is shocked to learn.
His executors have sworn to the follow-
ing property :—Mortgage $7,300; bank
shares and other stocks, $41,375; life
insurance $15,000; deposit receipts,
$5,000; real •estate $20,000; railway
bonds $7,420 ; in bank $7,527 ; cash on
hand $460. Total $104,082.
IN THE HOUSE.
The weary, long continued and tire-
some budget debate went on all last
week to empty benches.
The Minister of Justice introduced
several important bills amending the
franchise and election acts. Hereafter
election petitions will be tried by two

It ie now thought that the- session
will last till the middle of August or
later.
A grave scandal against the Superin-
tendent of the Government printing
bureau is whispered. An investigation
is also entered upon which, it is said,
will develop grave irregularities, or
worse, in the Post Office department.
Nearly every day brings out some new
developments and the air is thick.

day last. Mr. Luxton was busily en.

He was not hurt.
—Mr. James Wilion, son and wife, of

hay, it is better in some pats than
others.
—During the absence of Mr. John
Staples and family, of Kinburn'on Sun-
day last, their residence received a visit
from tramps, who succeeded in gaining
an entrance through a rear window.
They proceeded to the cellar, and as
nothing else was found to be touched, it
would appear that their object was to
get a good square meal, and judging by
the amount they devoured they un-
doubtedly did.
—While Mr. and Mrs. Thomas, of
Bluevale, were driving to Gorrie on
Saturday, July llth, they had a narrow
escape from what might have been a
very serious accident. The colt became
frightened at some object on the road,
and in its frantic endeavors to get away
the bit broke, Mr. Thomas thereby los-
ing control of the animal, which reared
and plunged, completely smashing the
harness and upsetting the buggy. The
occupants were both thrown out and
severely injured.
—The many friends of Mr, Geo.
Pettypiece, late Chief of Police for
Wingham, met at Hill's restaurant in
that town on Wednesday evening of
last week and presented their honored
friend with a complimentary address,
accompanied with a silver cake beast,
butter dish and cruet. Mr. Pettypieee
made a very suitable reply, after which
speeches were delivered by various gen-
tlemen present. He has been a resi-
dent of Wingham for about twenty-five
years, and was one of the first council -
lore of Wingharn when it was first made
a village.
—This week we have to record the
death of a much respected citizen of
Exeter. On Monday afternoon, 13th
inst., while the moments of time were
flying by, the spirit of Mrs. Robert
Thompson, of Exeter north, left the
body. Deceased was in her 87th year,
and had lived in Exeter for a number of
years. She was born in the Parish of
Shrivenham, Berkshire, England, and
emigrated to this country when in her
young days. Her illness has been of
long duration, having been confined to
the house for the past .5 years. She
was a member of the Church of England,
and has always tried to live on earned
Christian life.
—On Sunday morning, 12th inst., m
Mr. M. Lockhart, of Auburn, with his
wife and youngest child, were driving
adong the road leading up the hill past
the old cheese factory, their horse be-
came frightened at a small bird flatter-
ing in the dust on the road, and sudden-,
ly sprang to one side, going over the
embankment, which at that point is
quite high, turning the buggy almost
upside down. Horse, buggy and occu-
pants found themselves at the bottom of
the embankment against a barbed-wire
fence. Fortunately none were hurt be-
yond a few bruises. From the danger-
ous character of the place where they
went over, it was certainly providential
that some of them were not seriously in-
jnred. The top of the buggy, which
webs up at the time, is a complete
wreck.
—During the severe thunder storm on
Tuesday of last week the house occupied
by Mesdames Pharis and Robt. Gordon,
Goderich, was greatly shattered, the
current striking the chimney on the
main building, and then apparentiy
separating into two columns travelled
east and west, tearing off the plaster and
lathe in the rooms beneath. The west
branch almost divided the roof; theme
proceeded down the front of the build-
ing, tearing off the siding in its course.
The east current also separated the roof
of the main structure, then struck the
kitchen and almost destroyed it ; the
doors being torn off, the end driven out,
and every joist and rafter loosened.
Mrs. Gordon was sleeping -in an upstairs
room immediately under the currentand
received the downfall of lathe and pla-
ter, but we are pleased to relate with-
out personal injury.

—Mr. Joseph Hurtibese, who has re-
sided in Wingham for a number of
years, left on Thursday of last week for
Orillia. This change is by order of the
telegraph company. On Monday even-
ing he was presented with a purie of
fifteen dollars and a very appropriate
address.
—Orr Sunday afternoon, 12th inst.,
an old and respected citizen of Goderhein

of the attack until death was uncon-
scious.
—A son of Me. C. A. Scott, Bluevale,
about four years of age, fell out of a
wheelbarrow on Saturday, llth inst.,
injuring his arm. Mr. Scott drove to
Wingham with him on Sunday, when it
was found that a small bone near the
elbow was broken. The fracture was
set and the little chap is doing well.
— On Saturday evening, Ilth inst.,
about 11 o'clock, the barns belonging to
Mr. Jas. Symington, Colborne township,
were discovered to be on fire. The
alarm was quickly given, and the most
of the conteuts were got out, owing to
there not being any grain in the barn at
this season of the year. The buildings
were soon consumed. Mr. Symington's
lose will be heavy, as we understand
there was only a small insurance.
— The Goderich Signal of last week
says: Sunday evening a couple of
ruffianly boys'we will withhold their
names, began throwing stones at some
boys at the river, making a target of
Master Frank Shannon, one of the mis-
sies striking him on the arm and break-
ing it. A similar case may be mention-
ed here which, although not so serious,
shows what some boys will do for fun.
An organ -grinder happened to get down
a back street in town and "fell among
thieves," as it were. Some boys began
throwing stones at his hurdy-gurdy and
—One of the old pioneers of this
