Semmme-- YEAR 81 ) FURTHER EXPOSURES NEXT SESSION OF PARLIAMENT WILL BE "INTERESTING". ? Prominent Members, One a Minister, Said To Be Involved in Gross Dis- honesty" in Maritime Province Mat- ters, Montreal, July 28.---According to li-defined and authoritative re- ports in libera | circles here, the present sensational exposures of graft under the conservative regime in New Brunswick are to be follow- ed at the next session of the federal parliament by further exposures bringing the trail "higher up" and connecting the federal government with gross dishonesty and graft in the spending of money in public works and other federal undertak- ings in New Brunswick and Nova Scotia. It is understood that ample oeyvi- dence is in the hands of the teh leaders to make things decidedly toresting for some of the federal ministers when the public accounts committee gets busy next session. 'fhe matter wus discussed af a neet- ing of liberal leaders at the call of Sir Wilfrid Laurier. The details are not yet for publication, hut the names of members of parliament, and of at least one minister, ure freely mention ad, while the minor politic'ans who concern themselves about dredging contracts and the construction of public works figure in surprising numbers in the stories that are told of the doings of the tory faithful iv New Brunswick since their friends attained power If even a fraction of what is re ported be true, there have been grave peandals in connection with maritime public works. It is asserted thai contracts have been awarded to po litical friends of the administratior at Ottawa without tender or public compensation: that in at last one case, In which a contract was taken out of the hands, of the successful tenderer, the tertns of the original contract have beeh varied by orders in council for the benefit of t tory politicians to whom the wor was given without competition; that prior to tenders being sént in to the gov ernment for certain maritime work prospective bidders have been asked in the event of their tenders being the lowest, to retire in favor of spec jally favored friends of the ministers whose names were mentioned, and that after contracts have been se cured in public competition by com petent contractors such pressure has heen brought to bear upon them that they have been forced to retire. All the public works affected by these tactics are being carried on at a greatly. increased cost to the country. It is alsd a matter of comment that while in the past. all public works were in<harge of the departments of public works &nd canals, that is no longer the ease, and that the depart- ments of marine and of militia and defence, during the last three years, have ben extending their opera- tions into the field of construction, until they now have extensive con- tracts under way, which provide ad- ditional pickings for the self-seeking politicians. It is stated that there will be an exhaustive inquiry next session of a score of scandals in connection with the expenditure of public money in the maritime provinces. The senate, which will have a liberal majority which can obviate any burking of an investigation in the commons, may hold an inquiry on its own account. In fact, it Is asserted that this will he done, even if a general election is held in the meantime, as the pre- sent complexion of the senate will not be changed for several years to come, and the government cannot, therefore, escape from its difficulties hy a premature dissolution. available A Spring Teunle.

The Daily : KINGSTON, ONTAR FUNNY SIDE OF-HOME RULE Some Famous Bulls That Have Been Perpetra: od by Speakers While everybody almost Is talk- ing about Ireland it is worth while recalling some of the fine "bulls" that the Home Rule campaign has produced at ome time or another. One excited orator recently de- clared: "We will net. permit ' the Unfon Jack to be tramp ocd ender foot by the hands of any man," while his opponent took the next opportunity of ascertaining that he had "put hix foot down with a strong arm."
