The charge made by Mr. Barwiclr last , week in the senate, that a large part of. the grant made by Count Mercier s govern- ment to the Baie des Chaleurs Railway { had been diverted .trom its purpose and ', stolen by the-Quebecgovernment, threw . the Senate, metaphorically speaking, on i its beam end. This revelation was made ' in connection with the bill before the : Senate to transfer the road to a new , company. The charge was of so extraordin- ary a nature that the Tarte-McGreevy case became diminished into small propor- } tions. This road has been subsidized by the Dominion `government to the extent of $600,000 and by the `Quebec,govern- ment to the extent" of $280,000, of" which latter sum a comparatively insignicant" fraction, it is alleged, was used for the purpose granted. An enquiry into this alleged Grit steal was demanded and` forthwith every imaginable device was tried by the Grit-Senators to prevent it. It was alleged that the Dominion Senate had no right to pm the Quebec govern-' ment on trial. To this the conclusive reply `was made, that as the Dominion government had granted a large sum to aid in the construction of the road, it had ` an undoubted right to make enquiry into the expenditure of the funds. The Grits thoroughly alarmed managed to have the promdters of thebill for transfer of the ` road to the new company request in withdrawal .with the view to stop all ` jfurthur proceedings and thus burk the ienquiry.

What was desired was that Canada should take all from England . and ` that England ' should ; take all from her. a (Hear, hear.) He,` for his own part, speaking on his own authority and respon- sibility, , was prepared to move ' in the Dominion House of Commons for the dis- crimination in the customsso far as the mother country and their -sister de- pendencies go, which would give ' advan- tages denied to the Americans or any other power. (Hear, hear.) If the policy of. the Liberal party were adopted.,and if Canada were to become part of the Ameri- . c'an States and to carryout the system of that commercial union asked,it would mean trade to Canada to the extent of 1 17s. 6d. per head of their population would at once fall to as .low as 10s. per head- Practically the adoption of the policy of the other party would bejthat instead of taking 2 per h-ad, Canada would take as much as 4 per head from the United Kingdom, But, on the other hand, they would have to raise the re venue. He was not goinggto chalk out a finance measure or tari' bill which would be suitable for the needs of both .countries All he wanted to do was to lay before them the kernel of the whole matter, and that was that there must be give-and-take. The host la ta-i`s of the European crun- tries and America had prevented any great development of_the English trade as compared with ten years ago, and. there- fore England should effect a commercial union with her colonies, and readjust her tariffs with other countries. In regard to food Canada was capable of supplying all . that England required, and in his opinion. England should encourage the trade in ' that country rather than a country which ' raised its tariffs as the United States had ` done. (Applause. )--Mr. Staveley Hill, Q. C., M. P., said that Mr. D'Alton Mc- Carthywas well known as one of the most valuable and highly esteemed councillors in the Dominion Parliament. (Hear, hear.) He had always taken an independ- ent line, and if he told them that he was disposed to move in a certain line in the Dominion House they might depend upon` it that his proposal would meet with the best possible success. In regard to com- merical union, there was no doubt that we had at the present time great difculty .in meeting the prohibitive tari's which were raised against us as walls in Ger- many. Russia and France, and above all in the United States. Although it had been said by some that the last develop- ment of these prohibitive taris. the Mo- Kinley tari', was likely to meet with dis- favour at the next general election in the United States, his "own experience of the States did not lead him to expect much in that direction. -At the close of the meeting Mr. McCarthy was given a vote of thanks, `and requested to allow his speech to be printed and circulated, .. v---- -av -vwiuuwu In: unit II [III NWT fnl iuuo nloo.

Mr. Flower, editor of the Arena, has given some mast. graphic pen pictures 3: the poverty and wretchedness to be found in Boston, the polished city, the Athens of Ainerica. This poverty is largely the result of the miserable pittance paid for work to women and girls who have to de- pend on their own labor for subsistence. What is true of;Boston_is true of nearly - all the great centres of population both in Europe and Alnerical, - and as was shown `by the Labor Coun_nis`sion,~'in the cities of"Can7ada'.T" l f "" " T ` ` , ,-,__.._. ..-..__-..,._v-v u-out uuuuxvuulvu IIUIII the slightest taint of Ta:mmanyism.

It is well to re- member also, that the same law forbidding clerks to be paid for extra work _ was in existence during the administration of Mr. Mackenzie. It is in evidence that clerks at that were in the constant prac- tice of getting paid for extra work the Re- form Government taking no pains to en- force the law. The open violation of the laws under the ken of Philosopher Mills and his friends seems to be held by them as perfectly justifiable, but its violation in a covert way by a few clerks under a" Conservative Government is bruited to the world as an enormous crime. ' There is something hopeful for the future of this country when the govern- ment sets itself the task of impartially un- veiling wrong and irregularity in any of the public departments whoever may suf~ fer. by the inquiry.

This ac- knowledgement was in face of the fact that Mr. McGreevy had emphatically de- nied in the House of Commons that he had any V interest in said boat. Uncle `Thomas, therefore, stands convicted of stating a falsehood to the House,and also of violating the Independence of Parliament Act. It is quite manifest, therefore, that Uncle, Thomas will have to step down and out. i `ran srrlmrrox A1` orraws. The revelations of last week both be- fore the `Committee of Privileges, and Elections and the Public Accounts Com- mittee, are of more than common interest. Uncle Thomas McGreevy has acknowledged that he received from his A brother Robert - Mc- Greevy $55,000 for political, purposes. The witness declared that the money was not paid bythe rm of Larkin, Connolly dt Co. though he was unable to show how Robert McGreevy who was not able to pay his debts could contribute $55,000 to an election fund. Although Robert was al- leged to be indebted to his brother Thomas to the amount of $400,000 and entirely unable to pay him, no part of the $55,000 was to be applied to that debt. Thomas refuses to say to whom he paid ,55,000 election money. M, I5.

The evidence of Mr. Lar- kin of St Catherines, president of the Lin- coln Reform Association, one of the con- tractors of the said graving dock, shows how the Globe was manipulated to stop its opposition to the Iengtheningaof the dock.

He was not present there as a delegate from Canada with reference to this mat- ter. He spoke only as a public man of that colony, but he was one who for many years had taken` the greatest interest in the preservation of the unity of the em- pire. (Applause.) In the history of the` colonies they had passed through two or three states. First there was the period when it was supposed that the colonies were annexed to the mother country for the purpose of increasing the prosperity of the mother country-a thing .which was very natural. Then came the period of reaction, when it was thought the col- onies were detrimental to this country ra- ther than an advantage, and of which pol- icy Mr. Goldwin -Smith was now perhaps the sole representative. (Hear, hear.) The day had come when they had recognized the importance to this empire of the great colonies and dependencies. But another question was now coming forward of the greatestimportance to the future of the empire. Canada was assailed on the one side by the Americans, who desired to have their ag stretched up to the north pole, `and who were ambitions to annex Canada as a part of the American nation. He was sorry to say there were a certain number of Canadians who favoured that view. He was a Conservative- he had ' always been connected with the Conserva- tive party. and he was there to say that he did not believe that amongst the Lib-' eral or Reform party, as they called their opponents, there was at large proportion ` who wished to break o` connection with the British Empire.
