On page 142 wo learn that for reijuiring and enlarging alone the Huin of ^71S„')00 had been spent up to September 24th, 1804; tliat there was a claim pending for a fur- ther .$100,000 and that the worlc' wa.s not ciHiipU'tod. When the present Government took iioia of iitiairs M. Uergrr was in eharse of \ he Wiivks. So soon as tho Government was sure of ■.ts majority it adopted moans hitherto un- known in the Chamber by which it gave two new men a tl'.ger in the pie; to wit, Emmanuel St. Louis of Curraa Bridge fame and Ludger Cousineau, well-knowr. amidst the Tories. These gentlemen spent in extra work the sum of $468,2r)0.00, of which they pock- eted twenty i)er cent, or $93,(500 at least. When Mr. Nantel, Commissioner of Public Works, got well seated in his plac- he did not seem to bi* very anxious about the repairs to tiie Court House going on until he wa.s furninhed with all tlxe details "connected with the worlis." Orders were given to Mr. Berger to stor and he was to have no further money until the fullest inforniatinn had been given. Vet in spiie of all this on February 19, 1S92, some days before the elections just iu the mid.-t of the fiL'ht, Mr. Nantel seem.^ to h.ive suddenly regained his conHdonce in Mr. Berger, for lie wrote to !Mr. Ijesago the following letter; Montreal, Feb., 19, 1892. 8imoon Le.s;)ge, Esq., Assistant Commissioner of Public Worlo, ijueliec: Dear Sir,— -After having carefully ex- ninined tlie aecount of !Mr. Berger, I be- lieve that it would be but just to pay him a certain amount of the amount duo t > him on the works, for I am convinced that ■' i^«4i MMMMta '^m^s^&^s after this vaymcnt llieic will r.-inainaBuf- ficiont margin U guiiant<»e the Cover- ment aaain^t nny loss.

THE VALLTERE MORAL OBLIGATION The present Government is so fond of posing as an example of goodness, in con- trast to tne wickedness of the L rals that one is glad to have an oppor.,r .y of seeing— in a practical way— a sain/le of ias morals. Th Vallicre contract will ail'ord an admirable example. t)n the IGth of February, 1891, the Hob.
