What action the Lieutenant Governor, of Quebec will take is the question which every honest man in the country is-deeply concerned to know. In all cases where Dominion funds have been granted to any public works in the Pro- vinces, there should be a strict scrutiny into what has become of the money. The cry of Provincial rights should not prevent the Federal Government `from making the fullest investigation. into the expenditure. It is doubtful if a more shameless robbery of public money was ever perpetrated than' the `Pacaud-Mercler steal of the Baie des Ohsleurs subsidy. ; T ' Parliament has been in session now about five months and will be regardedas one of the most memorable in its history. The `Public Accounts Committee `have done grand work forthe country by show'-_ in what . abuses can creep into the Civil service and how almost universal is the practice of oicials making money out of their positions as public servants as the price of the patronage which they have to bestow-Arnoldi and Senecal are but typical representatives of this most per- nicious and corrupting system. ` A-ran ?jo:rr1.sws.l The 'l'arte-'-,-McQree vy csse is closed end the country is snxiously swsting` the. report which the committee will mske to the House end setion .'1'liomss; McGreevy~ nroven's mc_s`t unworthy representstive of`. people; whose interests he should hiv,e,'.usriied,, but` which he` grossly "betrayed.

T We have had three dif- ferent ones in about half a dozen years, and by the law of probabilities, one at least should have been a success. If we are to judge by the Inspector's report the one we have now is also a conspicuous failure. There appears, however, from start to nish of this report, such a mani- fest intention to_run the principal out,that our sense of British fair play revolts at the ill-concealed thrusts at a man who has not a fair opportunity to parry the blows aimed at him. We know personally but. little of `Mr. Moran. He came here with the reputation of a successful educator, He had himself been a public and high school teacher, as well as an Inspector, is young, energetic and possesses unques- tioned ability, and `his alleged failure in our school succeeding two other alleged failures, excites the suspicion of some malignant inuence at work not every- where to`be found.

Chief among these is the subsidy system, wliichhas grown to such monstrous dimensions within the last few years. It is unnecessary, even had we ' space, to describe it at length. Every reader knows what it is and how it is worked; knows, `too, how it is tainting and demoralizing thepolitical life of the -whole Dominion. - It is rapidly convert- ; ing whole constituencies into marketable - commodities, setting them up at political suction, to be purchased by the highest subsidy bidder. It is destroying the "public spirt, never yet, alas I so strong as it should be,:ot the people of the Provinces. N o wonder that an inuentialzjournal in I the United States exclaimed. when it got a clear conception of- the working of this system, that such a system would ruin any nation. It cannot` be denied that under. this system millions of dollars have been squandered, or embezzled; thabrail- . way charters have been made merchandize of; that individuals have been enriched at the public expense. It cannot be doubted even by the most - credulous partisan that of the millions upon millions of dollars that have been expended in railways and canals, a large part has been appropriated under political pressure, or wjth a view to political effect, rather than with a single eye to the welfare of the Dominion. It is a hopeful sign that even the members andsupporters of the Govern- ment a_re appalied at some of the revela- tions now being niade.and are resolving and declaring that it is time tocall a halt, and that henceforth subsidies_ must be voted `much more carefully and sparingly. A most signicant remark was that made, we think, by a minister the other day, in defence of an appropriation for a post- oice in some s'mall`'pTace, while large towns were left withoutone, to the effect Province, had not had its share of the- public money ! We have no hesitation in small sums of money by the Parliamen- the Dominion, is far more mischievous and dangerous to political morality than even the pernicious patronage system itself. What isto be done? Is it not time that honest politicians on either radical reform of the subsidy system 7 that that Province, or that section of the D saying that this system of voting large or tary majority at the bidding of the Gov- 1 ernment. for the construction, of so-called * public works in various localities all over ` side of politics were putting their hands 1 together, resolved to find and apply a i ' Mrs. N; S.

So . radical a change can be brought about .only by concurrence of Government. and `Opposition. But what a relief it would be to members of the Government and not Parliament? What a boon to the country generally? Till that is brought ibout it is. idle to hope for any thorough `reform in the'Civ1l Service. But we are far from supposing that even this great reform, were it accomplished, would eifectually purify the political life of the Dominion. `There are other sources of corruption inherent in our present political methods which must be removed before we can hope to see the `politics of the country lifted to the high place on which every honest citizen would -like `II -153 `Lanna -a--A-_.
