April 5.-A few days ago the postmaster-general showed in answer to a question b one of the opposition members how scan alone had been the method of managing the mail service under the late government. To day Mr. Paterson. the controller of customs. scored as e'ective- ly in reply to a question put by Mr. Pettet, the patron member for Prince Edward county, as to how many cus- toms and preventive ollicers in that county had been dismissed since the present government came into power. The people of" Canada are beginning to learn how grossly the public service was overmanned. and the lucid statement of Mr. Paterson adds anotherexample that must sink deep into the public mind. Mr. Paterson stat- edthat eight otlicers in Prince Edward county had been dismissed. and that as many outports and preventive stations at- tached to the port of l'icton, at which they were formerly stationed. had been abolish- ed. The gures of receipts at` these sta- tions and the salaries paid the officers are almost beyond belief. George Ll. Chadd, a sub-collector at Weller e Bay, got a `sal- ary of\$400 a year. He did not collect a cent in 189293 and 1893-94. In 189-L95 he collected forty cents.andin I896 89. The ex- pense of collection was $l.600 in four years and the receipts 39. Another holder of a sinecure was John Shannon, preventive of- cer at Black River Bridge.wbo has drawn 8300a year. During the past three years he did not collect a single dollar. Scarcely less gusring were the other cases. Mr. Foster tried to break the force of the statement of Mr. Paterson by saying that the oicers really earned their sal- aries by preventive work. The Chadd case is o n to no such explanation. It is be- yon dispute a ty ical example of how the people were force to carry on their shoul- ders men who rendered no return for the salaries paid them. It would be interesting to learn how many oflthe customs sub-col- leetorship are of the same class as that at Weller s Bay. The prompt dismissal of these oliicers proves that Mr. Peterson is guided in the administration of his depart- ment by concern for the public welfare rather than the party interests. There ws're,,donbtless workers for the liberal in Prince Edward county who would vstahen kindly to an appointment to the sineoure at Wsller s Thu}. u-an Q-itink (`nlnnn ha class In IQ lwnsm or -Pll.|C mnmav.| in. H7111?` NU VVCIIOTI DI s This was British Columia day in the house. The Crow's Nest Pass railway question, which has been a subject of gen- eral discussion in the country. was con- sidered on the floor of rliament. A proposition was submit and supported by the Pacific coast liberal contingent that the government disallow the British Col- umbia Southern railway amended act of 1896. The effect of federal interference with this piece of legis- lation, which is admittedly with- in the jurisdiction of the province. would be to withdraw the rights now held by the railway company. The minister of marine and fisheries, on bohelf of the government. promised that the re resentationa made would receive the care ul consideration of the government. He would not anticipate the announcement of the government's licy as to the construction of the Crow s est Pass railway. which. he intimated, would before long be presented to the house. As ......I:n-. Hm; \l.- I`...I..- naluul if an HOUR. At question time Mr. Foster asked if an order-in-council had been passed by the government granting a sum of money to the Grand Trunk railway tor the ex- tension of the Victoria bridge at Montreal, and, if so, what was the amount granted 3 Mr. Blair replied that it would be premature to give in- formation pending the completion of nego- tiations for the securing of a terminal at Montreal for the Intercolonial. The papers, he assured the house, would he brought down whenever negotiations ' in com- pleted. The guarde(lnature of t e replies on the occasions when the question has been up in the house seem to indicate that the pro grant to the Grand Trunk railway or the improvement of the `Victoria bridge is to be made conditional upon the granting by the Grand Trunk railway of terminal facilities at Montreal lor the gov- ernment railway.
