 emment rusming bankhipt roods? 
 
 The Oi^MMition ppbtested against this 
 outrageous legialat^bn as the follomng 
 amendment of Mr/Turgeoa on December 
 3l8t, 1890, wiU shAw: > 
 
 "That the legislation submitted by t)iis 
 resolution would expose the Province Ao 
 l>ec<Hne bul^deoed, not only with the put- 
 ting in operation o£ all subsidized' railways 
 whose cormpanies ^t'ould become 'finable 
 to work the same but also, in many cases, 
 with the repatiring and maintaining in good 
 order of the tracks and rolling stock, 
 which might become detiariorated or un- 
 serrioeable, tfaereby occasioning beaivy dis- 
 bursements at the expense of the Public 
 Treasury wnthout the' control of the Leg- 
 islature. 
 
 "That, moreover, by removing the man- 
 agement and working of all these roads 
 from individual enterprise, in order to bur- 
 den the State with the same, this legisla- 
 tion would authorize a serious injustice 
 towards the creditors of the companies 
 interested by the privilege which it con- 
 fers upon the Government on the roada 
 and rolling stock and the rigbt which it 
 gives of retaining the amount of its ad- 
 vances and disbursements in reduction of 
 the subsidies on 'the guarantee whereof 
 the bonds of such companies may have 
 been negotiated." , 
 
 Mr. Allard (Tory) ipoved in sub-amend- 
 ment, that all the woMs after "That" in 
 the said amendment be struck out and 
 replaced by the following: 
 
 "In c«Hisenting to the secoiiQ reading 
 of these resolutions, this House is confiV 
 dent that this measure will have the «& 
 feet of protecting all the righto of the 
 
 public, tliose of the interested crvditois 
 and those of the localities through whi^ , 
 ,the various railways mn." ^ 
 
 The sub-amendment was adop^ by 28 
 to 14, and another iniquity wa^ added to 
 our Statute Book. 
 
 The real object of this l^igislation Is 
 undoubtedly the desire of the/Uovemmeut 
 to use its control of such n^lroads to in- 
 crease its political influence in the coun- 
 ties through which they riui; with these 
 railroads under its contitil the Govern- 
 ment would use them t^ crush out the 
 political' independence ,of tba dlectors. 
 It is easy to understand how a threat 
 to st(9 running a railroad would affect 
 the votes of a coimtyi. The employment 
 of labor and the purchases of supplies 
 would all be worked with a like corrupt 
 intent. The*^ Government's extravagant 
 Vnuuragement would be a first privileged 
 claim on the roa^s, and the claims of the 
 original investoiii diminished by so much.

 The Hon. Atr. flynn has not only fol- 
 lowed the example of Sir Charles Tupper 
 in unconstitiUtionally delaying the hold- 
 ing of elections, but also in making an 
 election tour in which millions of dollars 
 are gaily promised to the eleotona So far 
 some of the enterprises this over-rich Pro- 
 vince ia going to help from its plethoric 
 punw are, according to Mr. Elynn, a 
 bridge at Quebec, a bridge at Montreal 
 ,and Longueuil, reeonatmetiim of the 
 O.T.R. bridge at Montreal, a bridge at 
 Bout de I'De, Montreal, Great Eastern 
 Railway, and railway in Yetcheres Oountgr. 
 
 Doubtless as the time roBs on every 
 county, nay, every village, will have its 
 promises. Promises which stand as much 
 chance of being "fulfilled as the Qidinaiy 
 Tory promise ever has.

 The Revision of the Code of Civil Procedure. 
 
 Lmw is supposed to be for tlw pqnish- 
 ■lent of the evil-doer, and the protection 
 of those who do well. The Government < 
 at Quebec has shown us ttat we have all 
 been wrong; one of the fiiwt thitigs the 
 Iaw is intended fcr i* to enable the leg- 
 isktoTK to provide for the ne«essitie« nf 
 "woridty" relations; if it fails to do so then 
 it must be nevtifieid, sfid tt^a^i to do its 
 duty. \v 
 
 ^ Tlie wihole world from the/ofys of Jus- 
 =iiBias down, bar bear im i »if\ on T^Sfff^ 
 
 point; it has been left to tt4«"bon(«t men" 
 to reveal this astoniriiing iact, and the 
 
 etectors of the Province must not forvet 
 it.. 
 
 . This is how it was done: the Govern- 
 ment came in for the e x pi'es s purpose of 
 reforming all things, and at once proceed- 
 ed to do so. Mr. T. Chase Casgrain ex- 
 plained how this is to be done. He made 
 his nnde, P. B. Oasgrain, Qerk of the 
 Court of Revision, a place he neatfld for 
 bis esteemed relative 
 Then be conceived the notion of a Obm- 
 
 mimim^lor^^e^nvMcai at ttiw Xkiio et 
 Procedure. Tbe first step to tSte carrying 
 out of thia pita was to hnve a good man

 man who met hia jnat reward at the bands 
 at the people on June 23, 1896. 
 
 Then he naioed Judge Davidson, another 
 ef the famous Angers puppets. 
 
 Now, the .true purpoiee of. the law waa 
 earned out;' the relations were all im>-

 The la^. as this will show, in the Provinea 
 of Quebec, at least, admirably carries out 
 Its new functions, i.e., to provide money 
 for the "honest men's" pets. 
 
 Interprovincial Arbitration. 
 
 When the diflenent Provinces were form- 
 ed into one Oomfederation certaiu accounte 
 belonging to the old Province of Ouiada 
 wd« left in suBpense. It was decidied to 
 settle by arbitn^on what amounts were 
 to be paid by the Dominion Government 
 and what were to be charged*t6 the Pro- 
 Tinoes of Ontario and Quebec; certaki of 
 the assets of tiie old Provinces to be di- 
 vided in like manner. 
 
 In thii' matter nothing of importance 
 was done until the day -^en Mr. Angen 
 launched hia oelebrainl oonp d'etat. Then 
 in the hairds of tiie hands of the. self-styled 
 "honest men" the arUtration became a 
 meana whenby to gorge all politieal 
 friends, past, preaent, and future. 
 Virst the arbitrator for the Province was 
 shsnged, then the advocates and in plaoa 
 
 of men who had made a study of the eaae^*^ 
 men were nominated who had no earthly 
 claim to any knowledge of the subjeei. 
 They 'vere political partisans pure and 
 simple, 
 werking body. 
 
 Hiis learned body commenced ita labors . 
 in 1802 and has continued them up-t^Hoatsw 
 
 Dwing this period judges, advoaafeas 
 and arbitrators have drawn laziKe sums out 
 of the Public Treasury as a reward for 
 their trouble— but the Province has gsk 
 iurthing. 
 
 So far as the P^wrinoe ia eoncenad it 
 baa spent immense sums, it has lost' an faSr 
 portent case bpfcm the Privy Counci l and 
 it has not drawn ONB CENT OF THE 
 MONEY OWINQ TO VS. Sneh is the re-

 How the Money was Spent. 
 
 A very c^^Bory glance at the Public Ac- 
 counts Avill show that the laige amounta 
 of money above referred to have been 
 ■pent not only fin reoklesa extravagance 
 but also dispensed as gps to the dariings 
 
 of the "honest men." 
 
 Jdr. Hall for example threw up his pori> 
 folno at the time of the notorious tiasco 
 known as the Paris loan, yet curious te 
 •ay 'he has received, up to December 9, 
 1806, the sum of $12,796.28. It paid him 
 twttfir to be out of the Oabinet The 
 canae of his return to the fold is thus made 
 apparent. 
 
 Now we are faoa to face with an ex- 
 ample of how the Oonatitution is man- 
 gled and twisted by these mm who are 
 the supposed guardians of our rights. Mr. 
 ^all is a member of the House and aa such 
 has Do right to reoeivie money frdm the 
 Goremment.. Bat all that ia nothing with 
 the "hmieat men" they simply pasted a 
 Uiv and Mr. Hall cotdd plead for hia <3ov- 
 emment — and what is very much .mora 
 to the 'point— could draw over $12,000. 
 This outrage ia a direct attack upon Par- 
 lianentaty Uberty. The effect is appar- 
 ent; the" same Htx. Hall who went about 
 the Province like a roaring lion denouncing 
 the TailloQ.loan now sita aa meek as a 
 lamb. He is another example of T017 con- 
 version and no doubt will be able to assist 
 at other "conv«mdt(fL" 
 
 Everyone knows the htstoiy of Mr. Ab- 
 gera and this disastrooa defeat last June. 
 But the old hand was not going to be left 
 in the cold, Ottawa, it was true, had no 
 -^-miwhtm he eoi^^ aerdwr to la ^mmi 
 
 emment's advocate and charged to repre- 
 sent it before the Privy Council in a pend- 
 ing case connected wiidi interprovincial ar- 
 bitration. 
 
 When the law was passed to enable Mr. 
 HaU, although a member to draw Qot- 
 erni^ent pay, the pretext wae that in or- 
 der to plead in. the arbitration matters, 
 it waa an. absolute neoessitQr that the 
 advocate should have long experience and 
 possees special knowledge of the various 
 questions bearing oti the aocounta to be 
 settled between the different J>rovinoes 
 and the Dominion Qovismment. 
 
 That was the argument when Hall was 
 to be put in a position to break the law 
 of the country, but ^be whole thing veered 
 round now. Mr. Ansete would not be 
 accused of possessing this knowledge even 
 by his best friends; that did not matter, 
 he must have eom^hing, Uie poor man, 
 whp had just been defeated. So tiiia gen- 
 tleman went to London to rspiewnt the 
 interests of the Province in a case involv- 
 ing at least $1,000,000, and that before one 
 of the shrewdest courts in the world. Be- 
 fore he went he drew $1,000 on acoooot. 
 (See Journals, 1896-97, page 78.) 
 
 What was the result ot this? The Pw- 
 vinoe lost, and lost miserably. What that 
 blunder will cost the Province in the end 
 is not yet known. 
 
 So soon at Mr. Taillon— the qmbryonie 
 Minister at Ottawa— v/aa swept out <rf the 
 field at Chambly, Mr. Flyno Saatened te 
 place Hbe constitutionrbreaker. Anaani in 
 
 Ai

 Gertea, but this arbittration joU haa been 
 a godsend to the Tory Ifbwyera and the 
 candidates that the people have rejected. 
 What a happy hunting ground for them 
 .alL < 
 
 The Hon. J. 8. Hall not only got a big 
 share of the plunder but, evidently feeKv 
 ing grateful for the way in which he hod ' 
 b^n arranged with, hei^ped hiaiaocountant 
 friend, John Hyde, to the tune at $7,707.20. 
 Thia man's appalling talenta coat the Pro-

 How Tory Lawyers have Gobbled up the Public Money. 
 
 One is often asked what has thia <>ov- 
 cmment of "honest men," (hose "taxers" 
 done with all the money it has snncitiH 
 out of the people in the taxes beside the 
 ELEVEN MILLION r>OLL»iv.< it has 
 borrowed. It takes some kc<iiin to tind 
 oat but the appended tabl^a wiil hliuw 
 where some of it haa gone I bey ■vgUV 
 how the deotora the fabulous amoontp 
 qp^it, and recklesal/ s(in:ind'<i'od i|f>a :i 
 hungry (\*»'.vd of 'f>ry Jawyert". 
 
 Some Liberal lawydra will be fonnd, 
 when tbey aire it must be borne in mind 
 that it is only When they have beaten the 
 Gov«mnient lawyers that such is the 
 oaet). ^ 
 
 These are the a few of the Tit Bits the 
 Tory* lawyers have swallowed. In 1893 
 Onatave Stnart drew $1,264.38; A. W. At- 
 watfer, who was not aa yet a Minister, 
 $1,120.88; W. W. C. Languedoc. in one 
 case in 1894 McKay va. the Queen got 
 |litf8i60,"and loac "ifae ~eBae~ into~"dir Iwv^ 
 
 for hia services in connection with the Itt" 
 ter-provincial Arbitration^ Thia waa a 
 splendid effort but he waa .beaten hollow 
 by O. Macmaater who,^;:1896, grabbed 
 TEN THOUSAND, 0A4 HUNDRED 
 AND NINETY ElGfli| DOLLARS, 
 TWO centa (Note that honekt two cents.) 
 J. L. ArohambaUlt evidently ia not ao 
 valuable a man he only drew $4^600.00 ppor 
 man! 
 
 The lists will show how careful a search 
 the -Government haa made to find out 
 faithful followers for they contain pretty 
 well all the Tory lawyers, great and small, 
 throughout the Province. Mon«y has 
 been scattered by handfuls to the faithful; 
 Ou the one aide there is the bard-woi^ing 
 people fighting for a livelihood, on th« 
 other a crowd of open-mouthed hangers* 
 on waiting to receive the cash wrung 
 out of tiie toilers by a qrstem qf vile tax* 
 
 ation. i 
 
 gain. 
 
 1806 was a year of magnificent : effort, 
 D. Oirouard, now a jBdge at the Supreme 
 Court, pooketted $0^180.00 at Mte banl.

 This piece of scandalous squandering of 
 the people's moqex, besides being a sample 
 of unprincipled favoritism, was made the 
 mbject of a motion in the House. Need- 
 less to say, the docile lambs which follow 
 the Government's bell-wether voted it 
 ' down and declared that it was a most vir- 
 tuous and just proceeding. 
 
 WHAT IT CX)STS TO COLLECT THE 
 TAXES. 
 
 The Tories not only laid the taxes in 
 1892, they also provided some nice little 
 pickings for their cronieB— 4he lawyers of 
 Uue blood. Whatever the taxpayer may 
 have" undergone under the Tory tax-h^ 
 row the lawyers hav« waxed fat and un- 
 doubtedly will also kick if this goose that 
 kys the golden egg is killed. If the To- 
 \ ries return to power the lawyers will seis 
 that there are taxes to collect. The fol- 
 lowing tables will show that. 
 
 * VDISTMCT OP MONTREAL. 
 
 Lawyers: J. 8. Archibald and J. Q. 
 Fosteiv-at first When Mr. Arehibald 
 was made a judge then tu Beaudin took 
 his plaoe. These gentlenkpn who have

 sary for the recovery of direct taxes wrote

 DfRED AND SEV BN'i'y-FIVE DOL-

 ^blB was paid by tin Government and not 
 hy the debtota. The Hon. Mr. Marehand 
 moved an amendment condemning this 
 •normoiM and useless expense, (see Jour* 
 aahi use, pH« 888) but, of course, It WM 
 
 voted down by the Team who lot* good 
 things of this aoit. 
 
 It might be thought that the above 
 moitiooed bonne-bouohe would be 
 enough; far from it, the same lawyers 
 have charged the Govemmffiit, for costs, 
 H>638.a0, and still have a further claim of 
 $4,807.30, making in aH the enormous 
 amount of SEVENTEEN THOUSAND

 OMER BEAUBIEN. 
 
 On the 18th October, 1806, Mr.^Beambien 
 received orders to collect pertain arreaMi 
 from the tenants of the Jesuits' Estates. 
 This gentleman at once seized his pm and 
 dashed off a series of letten full of sound 
 and fury to the unfortunates; these' valm- 
 abl» documents were ddivered by special 
 messenger. By this means Mr. Beanbien 
 achieved a great feat, he made |613 in leas

 How he did thii is revealed in S sssio n a l

 Aa noted above the "crusMsrl! needs 
 must do something to b|i{^hjten hp his sal- 
 lied coat-of-arms; dmted by many a hard 
 rap given by tihe Opposition; he imagined 
 to get the polishing paate by sequestrating 
 the Chaleur Btuy Railway, thus obtaining 
 control of the "needful." 
 
 The workmen and employes who ha,v« 
 not been paid may whistle for their money 
 whilst the lawyers draw thonsandsk The 
 Govemment that did the same trick in 
 Jtha pnaw of the Wmk of- Ontario as Jhe- 
 same old charlaitan. 
 
 The end of this little scandal is not yet; 
 the Supreme Court expansSa are ynt to be 
 paid. After reading the above taUes it 
 does not need much thinking to surmise 
 how tbay will be divided.

 After all this pother the questioa, ais to 
 whether the Govemment can name a w- 
 quefitrator, has been going the rounds ot 
 the Provincial courts and even, now is iMh

 One thing, however, is settled, and tiat '^ 
 is that the Govemment has been once 
 more able to h^p ita friends.

 The Conversion of the Debt. 
 
 In Older to nndentand this latest Tory 
 attempt at financmg, the best thing to (k> 
 is to give the resolutiiHia presented on 
 November 25th, 1896, by the Hon. A^'W. 
 Atwater, Provincial Treasorer. It used to 
 be said that he who understood a raUway 
 time-table was a wise man, we know that 
 be who can mahQ out Quebec Govemmoit 
 book-keeping is a genius, but the super- 
 lative degree was wanting until we had 
 this specimen of an amateur financial pres- 
 tidigitateur, which will rack the brains of 
 Solomon, Solon and Justinian to make 
 anything of; that ia anything in the t«< 
 motest degree practical or b^eficial. 
 
 Whereas the outstanding funded debt ot 
 ih^ Province of Quebec amounts at the 
 presoit time to ^,281,919.34, which ia 
 made up of a number of loans bearing dif- 
 ferent rates of interest, and maturinn at 
 different dates; 
 
 Whereas iC is in the iijterest of the Prov- 
 ince that these loans should be consolidated 
 M far as practicable into ^one debt, bearing 
 a uniform rate of interest and maturing 
 at a certain fixed date. 
 
 Whereas, under the provisions of the 
 Act 45 Victoria, chapter 21, the price ot 
 Che Quebec, Montreal, Ottawa and Occiden- 
 ts'. Railway, amounting to ^7,000,000.09, of 
 which 1600,000,00 have been received and 
 17,000,000 remain to be paid hereafter by, 
 the Canadian Pacific Bailway Ckmipany, is 
 appropriated as a sinking fund for the re- 
 demption of the loans of 1876 and 1878, 
 and a portion of the loan of 1874 ; 
 
 Whereas by the Act 40 Victoria, cfaH>t^ 
 2, the $2,394,000 granted to the Government 
 pf the Province of Quebec, by the Act 
 of Canada, 47 Victoria, chapter 8, as a 
 subsidy in consideration of their hav- 
 ing constmct«tf the railway haia Quebec 
 to Ottawa, are appropriated to form part 
 of a sinking fund for the redemption of 
 the loan of 1874 ; 
 
 And whereas oertiUn sums may be re- 
 ceived by this Province as the result of 
 the arbitration now proceeding between 
 tiie Dominion 'of Canada and the Pro- 
 vinces of Ontario and Quebec; be it there- 
 
 Heicdvvd. li Tbt^ the liBobmant-Gov. 
 wnor-in-OouDoil may, from time to time, 
 make such regnlationa as he deems neoes* 
 ■ary for the management of the puU^o 
 debt of this Prorloo*, yad th« p«^meut 
 
 I 
 
 of the interest theieoii, and may, subject 
 to the protasioos of the Act to be Ixued 
 on tbesp residutiofiti, provide for the eroar ^ 
 tion and management of a I'n^j^ig fund^ 
 or other means of securing ihe repay- 
 ment of' any loan raised or debt contract- 
 ed under authority of the Legislature; 
 and that, for that purpose, he m*j aam* 
 or appoint one or more fiscal Agents or

 The Chicago Exhibiton. 
 
 When the present Government came to 
 power there was a crowd of worthies who 
 deemed no reward good enough for their 
 exalted talents, save a place that gave a 
 title and a salary. Unfortunately, all could 
 not be made Cabinet Ministers, as they de- 
 ferved, so they were made, as far as pos- 
 •ible. Ministers without portfolios, i.e., 
 men with a title but no pay. This, as all 
 tile world knows, is pabulum but little 
 suited to Conservative stomachs; so in 
 cases where the gentlemen were so ob- 
 streperous as to take no "honest man" pro- 
 mises, something had to be done to pio- 
 vide the cash. This had to b« tiHwrnr lmh- 
 
 •d^fat^nehli oUuuier as not to openly vio- 
 late the law. 
 
 The method by which this was done 
 fwoves the exceeding devqjiip pf the 
 
 Conservatives,' when means have to be at<> 
 ranged whereby cash is to be obtained. 
 
 One of the gentlemen, with a title and 
 no salary, was the Hon. J. McIqtoA, 
 member for Compton. He was one of the 
 hungry. What was to be done ? 
 
 Happy thought. The United States wis 
 to have a great exhibition, and, of course, 
 Quebec must be represented. Here was 
 the chance to create an office with pay. 
 
 Quebec sent hcHses, English, Norma*, 
 Percheron,' in short,<^the animals which 
 have made the Hon. Mr. Beaubien's great 
 success, the Haras Nataonal. lamed th« 
 world over. It also sent Ayrshire eows 
 and so forth, such, of course, being truly 
 representati ve of Qiiebec. W o p atriotio JL. 
 mpiy must be guarded with the very 
 greatest of care; no one, leas than an"h<»- 
 orable" could be tnisted. 
 
 Thus was the difficulty solved, and th« 
 poor men got salaries^ as will be v^en
