the search light for weeks the Opposition made astounding discovery that a couple of Registrars in order to swell their incomes have been hedging around an enactment of the Legislature- by practising heir professions The committee also discovered that difference of opinion prevailed be tween the Warden and Superinten dent of the Central Prison respecting the cost of material purchased for the manufacture of binding twine hut while conceding the irregularities of the Registrars referred to and while admitting the differences in judge ment between Ibe Central Prison officials it is gratifying to that not a tittle of evidence was forth coming like malfeasance or wrongdoing on the part of Ad minis In this respect the public character of the Government is untarnished Let us now turn to one of the rev elations recently unearthed by the Pub lic Accounts Committee of the Fed eral Parliament at Ottawa It wilt be remembered that Mr Joseph Pope a member of the civil service was chos en by Sir Charles to act as secretary to the British agent during the Bearing Sea arbitration at Paris last summer As Mi name ap peared in the public for a very considerable item the committee called upon him for explanation During Ms examination he admitted that En addition to his re- salary at the rate of per month as of the Privy Council he alio received for nil ring Sea duties and expenses He charged per day for days for J living fij ocean and railway travel jJaa fees on steamers He admitted that his charge of per day for tiling expenses included the lime spent In going and returning on the ocean steamers although these same living expenses were included In the price paid for passage money and charged in the account as travelling expenses The committee were amazed at this premeditated raid up on the public treasury The idea of a civil service official with a salary of per annum charging and ceinng per day for living expen ses while on the ocean steamships when at the same lime these living expenses were included In his passage ticket and charged up to travelling expenses is simply monstrous No wonder Minister Foster has to keep on piling up tariff taxation If this it an average sample of how the peoples money is squandered But while the action of Mr Popes is to be condemned what shall we say of the Government who ordered the money paid are the most and to them the country will impute the misappropriation This is only one of the many irregu larities being brought to light by the Public Accounts Committee and af fords ample justification for the motion of the member tot North York as to the propriety of examining witnesses under oath While double charge of Mr expenses was before the Com- Sir put on dignity and said he assumed responsibility for the account This led to further examination of Mr Pope who admitted that when he first sent in his account the days on shipboard were not charged but was told he was entitled to It and the amount accordingly so that Sir it seems is really the one who ought to be blamed- The Au ditorGeneral objected to paying the overcharges but his authority was overruled by the Government Dur ing the discussion on the expenses of this eh ring Sea business Sir Topper stated that there was a fur ther torn connected therewith yet to come down of or This will the total about Tie arc Cicadas ex
