FALSE PRETENCES. oh No Marine Department Prosecu- t -- OFFICIAL DUPLICITY. --o~ Advising Economy *by Letter, and Au- thorizing Exiravagence by Telephone, Ottawa, Nov. 21 1--_T wo weoks ago the Minister of Marine made two announce- ments to prove that his department re- iments of conscience, notwi standing the declaration of the Roy a Commission to the contrary. Mr. Bro- deur informed the country, which had been startled with the fresh revelations from Quebec, that all officials who took commissions, and all the contractors who paid them, would prosecuted. He also was quoted as saying that the pat- ronage list would be abolished. This pledge of virtue was distributed by gov- ernment organs with high cditorial praise But nothing has happened. No official or contractor has been arrested, and no one seems to be on prow very con- tractors who were osecuted ar still supplying "socds at hehly c profitable monopoly prices to other departments, and oe to the Department of Marine. that some time in the future a 'tow " caboaiinabed, who have no party pull, will be punished, but no peril awaits the principal officials whé have been ap- pointed by this igh go and are im- plicated. As forthe large contractors concerned, most of them are important members of the government party. They will not only escape prosecution, but are almost sure to retain patronage and con- tinue their contributions to the campaign fund. They are fresh from labor and contributions i hy the party interest in the interest in the recent fight.. Mr. Brodeur has ob spurned their campaign offerings. It is true that Mr. Brod has writ- ten a letter to his denuty, directing him to instruct the agents * egard the patronage list." But this published doc- ument gave n0 instructions to purchase supplies in the opon market to the best advantage, and no hint as to the course to be pursued. Evidontly then private elieekoas have been sent out, Though this letter was written nearly three weeks ago, no general calls for tenders spromo since, and so faras can b ed no purchases have been mad rai dealers who are not supporters of the government. In short, if the old patronage list has been cancelled, it bas laced by 2 new one, When the accounts are seen it will be found that the purchases are made from the same favoured persons. There is now a pur- chasing agent at Ottawa for the Depart- ment. co has been at work since last spring. He was appointed on account of the Royal Commission exposures, but has gone on buying from dealers on the patronage list just the same asthe party did before it employed him. far as the department has goue, since it was convicted of lack of conscience, it has continued to justify the verdict, adding tho additional offence of false pretence nd hypocri oe oo AN EXAMPLE OF DUPLICITY. T wo incidents in tho Quebec inquiry are worthy of record. One occurred in connection with agent Gregory's evi- dence. Mr. Gregory testified that he had frequently reported to Ottawa that the patronage system increased the price of supplies. He swore that he has nev- ertheless, been compelled by orders from Ottawa to continue it. To offset this, counsel for the goverpiwent showed the agent a letter tohim from the Depaty Minister, objecting to prices paid an finding fault with the general scale at extravazance prevailing at Quebec. Mr. Gregory admitted receiving this letter, but swore 'that he had received at the same time instruction by telephone from his superior at Ottawa to pay no atten- tion to the official censure, but to go on satisfying friends of the Government who-had goods to sell. The department had explained to Mr. Gregory by telc- phone thatthe letter was written to show, but not to be obeyed. This startling announcement was.con- firmed by Senator Choquette, same judge, and lately chief government o Gregory, ye it, but did not place it on récord as With thi evidence of charming duplicity the public can understand the value of off cial correspondence touching vai of a patronage. No one knows how many of the:published official letters aloating coonomy are contradicted by telephone messages yt Private no same writers authorizing extravagance.

New York and Pennsylvania Quaran- tined Against Inter-State Shipment. -_o CHILDREN AFFECTED BY CAT- TLE DISE 7 Washington, Nov. 20.-Alarming results following the outbreak of a contagious foot and mouth disease in New York and Philadelphia, causing those states to be against interstate shipments of cattle, were shown to-day in advices that reached Sccretary of "Agriculture Wilson, stating that four children in Dan- are Pa., had contracted the diseace. A rigid investigation is in progress in Danville and elsewhere to determine whether others have become similarly af- fected. The--officials believe that the apread of thé contagion will be checked, although admitting that the situation is grave, and will require energetic an concerted action by the state and federal authorities. New York, Nov. 20.--Shipments of cattle to foreign ports from Now York and ae were brought to an ab- rupt close to-day by a cattle quarantine established i in this state and in Pennsyl- vapia. The quarantine does not affect ports outside of New York and Philadel. phia, except as to cattle from the two states affected by the ruling. Western cattle may still bo shipped abroad from either Boston or Baltimore. While there is not likely to be any scarcity of beef or a raise in prices aa a result of the cat- tle quarantine, the foreign trade will be undoubtedly seriously hampered for a 5 "Byes Cansdian cattle received at these ports in bond cannot be reshipped to England, and dealers with such consign- ments. on band will be forced to send them back because the duty on Canadian cattle makes thvir uso prohibitive, A GOOD s STOMACH, Means Good Health th, Cheerfulness, Ambition, Persistency and Success.
