In order that he turnsttheyder"&l;' matters connected with might un thgl Central Prison, he hat}" x'!llovoéi f&"b:';: necessary papors, bat they PB D. ogard to brought down. He found with reg the Municipal Loan Fund, that after t}*, 24. {ournment of the House last yeAT, some of the amounts _ appropriated to the different municipalities were chauged without the sanction of the Legislature,." Because the Bill gave the Government power to adjast the schedules, they had no right to take to themse)v*s the power of ohfifnz thescheme in this manner, _ Mo desi to know at whose suggestion, and for what reasons, the Government 'changed the schedules in this manner. _ He found by the organ of hon. 4 gentlemen opposite, Tur Gross, that some of the towrships with regard to which a change had been made, had applied for their mon:f, and were to receoivo it Why was the Legislature not asked to sanction those changes * H@»could not tell how the Pre-- mier would mend such a courso. -- The spcaker then went on to complain that no Bill of importance had been proposed by the Government, save the School Bilg, and stated | ° that they had bad nothing to do but to adjust the schedules, and he considered they should have been submitted to the House. _ He asked why thousands of dollars shoald be taken away from ons municipality, and given to another, and then raturned when circumstances of a politicsl nature de-- manded it. _ Peel, Forgas, and Elora woere changed in the manner ho had raferred to, but when Mr. McKimsought to be elected for the House of Commons he found this to be a serlous objection agains, him.

Mr. M':Kim had insisted that the money should be put back again, and it was stated in that morning's issue that some of the municipalities were to receive ths money, _ Peol, it was announced, had rs-- ceived the money due to it He was greatly mistaken if the people liked this arbitrary way of dealing with the publis monsy. He also complained that the Bill which the A""";f!-(lenenl had brought down rolating to Railway Aid would confer $1,000 on these municipalities, f Hor. Mr. MOWAT said the hon. mm who had just moved the resolution was in 't'l':: habit, like some other members on the sams side of the House, with finding fault with evoarilthinv that the Government eithor did or not do; and he only required to know what they had done or not done in order to enable him at once to find fault, and to point to the action or want of action as somsthing very wrong. It would be the much mora dignified as well as the much more croditable course f.or the hon. gentleman to take, and one which would enable him to exersise a much more valuable influence in the House and in the country, it he woald only make some discrimination in the matter, and only charge wrong--doing when there really was wrong--doing. This constaut making of charges without the slightest foundation while it really did no harm to the Govern. ..ment, recoiled upon the heads of hon gontle.
