When the present government took office the were especially severe upon the infractions of the provisions of the audit act by the late government and provincial auditor. Or. Jones said in his budget speech on May 14tk 1888 the approbation Book kept by the auditor was the most important Book m the building became the auditor was supposed to be appointed by the House. His duties were Laid Down by statute and it was very clearly Neces sary to feb he should refuse to allow any account to pass through unless there was a proper attorney general Martin said during the course of the same debate this was Cert bed by the auditor in direct contravention of the statute which directs that before a progressive estimate can be paid a Public contractor the Public official having the work in charge must certify that an amount of it has been done equal in value to the pay ment of the progressive estimate yet Cheque passed through the Treasury was certified by the auditor and paid without any work being done by the contractors to whom the was handed Over. How is it possible that a Pio Vocial auditor supposed to guard the interests of the people against any improper conduct of the ministry could fail to atop this Cheque so improperly issued a Leos there was an Between the treasurer and the auditor to this let a Little through for to Bow and then 1 will the same by you. This Man is sup posed to be the officer of the House though it happens that the manner o his appointment was such thai he can be removed by order in in the debate upon the dismissal of the provincial auditor and in the proceedings resulting therefrom members of the present govern ment signalized in no measured terms future Prosperity of australian colonies will be promoted by an Early Union under the British Crown differences of opinion will a soon As the convention begins to discuss the shape which this Union should take. Tho perils of the new australasian Constitution will Only be beginning when it emerges from the makers hands Ana has in trial trip in the troubled Waters of South sen on that account should we despair of the future of a Federated Union of australasian colonies 1 not at All. Dinv cult ilk a great or greater have been faced and overcome by those who framed the Cou Htit nations of the american Republic and of the Dominion of Canada. At the opening banquet in the Centennial Hall the governor of now South Wales spoke for the heart of the Mother country when he said the men Are Here. Is Tho hour about to strike the Aubner to that ques Tion can he awaited with Hope and with equanimity. The men who have the task in hand Are of the. Name Efrain As those who built up the great edifices of self governing states beyond the Atlantic. They know All that invites and All that impedes Union better than we could Tench them. They have the Genus Aud the exp Arienca of Solf govern ment and the Habitude of looking upon dim a unties As things not to be shirked but to be overcome or removed. The Issue May to safely left in their hands. If not now at some Date not very Remote federation will be secured and Australia will in outward body Well As in inward spirit become a nation. If the larger federation which is to include Tasmania new zealand and even new Guinea and Aro by phys ical be not attempted there is no reason Why the example of the British North american colonies should not to successfully emulated. Looking at it merely As a Geo graphical problem there should to less difficulty in welding the australian colonies into a brr Houious whole than there was in uniting Prince Edward Island and British Columbia under one government. To Are told that the australians Are a Clever practical people surely they can accomplish what was not n very serious difficulty to us poor canadians. Registering As voters. It cannot he too much impressed upon the Public mind that the change in the Law respecting the of voters Lista in this province renders necessary a wholly Dif Ferent procedure from that heretofore in Vogue. It waa the custom formerly to make up the new Lista from the municipal assessment Rolls. Knowing that their names appeared of those Rolls Tho majority of electors took it for granted that they would be duly transferred to the voters lists and with Tow exceptions were usually the result of Accident this was done. In this Way a feeling o carelessness was Begotten the average elector contenting himself with the thought that those having the Lista in charge would see that Hia name was properly enrolled. This Confidence we so great and general that Many never even took he trouble to see if their names wore recorded. It is different now. Under the now Law All Rolls and lists of whatever kind Are discarded. Only those who apply for registration will have their names enrolled As voters. It is the United states system Cor plate. A registration officer is appointed who will receive applications either rom the electors them selves or through an agent but in All cases attended with an affidavit of qualification. The most widely wealthy person in Tab electoral District will not get hid name on the list without going through this formality or having some other person do it who can make the necessary affidavit. There a no borrowing it 5m old lists and nothing a taken for granted. We must Oil present in por Sonor by proxy before the registration Clork Aud make application to have our names enrolled of electors to the form provided in the oct. There will be a Vegi Stratios of voters 111 two electoral districts before Many weeks and it important that this change in Tho Law should be clearly understood. If each elector could be depended upon to see that his name was duly registered the in item would be a the budget. Provincial treasurer brings Down the estimates.

The Tirnea have apparently changed and the opinion of Tho government also if we Are to judge from the Bill of the Hon. Or. Smart restricting and in some cases abolishing the duties of the Audi Tor. Has that wifi Cir been too Zea ou9 n the performance of his duties to suit the relaxed morals of the got Ern went is it another evidence of the in. Pincnce of a dissolution of the House and the accompanying downfall of the Greenway and. Ministration recklessness of consequences in members of the government whatever May be the reason it is Seldom that a member of n popular government has the Hardihood to propose a retrograde policy especially where the adminis Rolion of the is concerned. It May suit or. Smart to be Independent of the legislature and its officer the provincial auditor when the provincial elections Are at hand and it May be convenient to erect buildings and Bridges for or. Martin or to dig drains and sink Wells for or. Greenway but we we very much mistaken if the legislature or the Public will submit to Tho withdrawal of one Titbit of its control Over the Public Fonde. If or. Smart s suggestions Are approved by the House there is any necessity for a simple Ono entailing Little expense and even trouble. But in every Community will be found those who Are either too at pid or too indifferent to look after themselves and thus will be thrown on the party managers the duty of canvassing names for enrol ment As Thorax High and laborious far As it toes As in a can docs of votes for an election. The system indeed practically necessitates two canvasses one for the voters list and one for the election which follows. In the Rural Dis riota this will involve so much labor that unless tie electors determine for themselves to go to the trouble of having their names registered Many of Thorn will be left of. The will More probably be the re sult of the first registration or two until the working of the new Law becomes familiar to tie general Public.

Than lost ses Sion the Hon. Provincial treasurer staked his reputation upon the infallibility of the method in which the Public accounts Are kept. He upheld with indignation As an imputation upon his personal integrity any suggestions made by or. Koblin that possibly Thyl Book keeping in Hia department might be defective. And now be finds his twin brother in morality publicly accusing him 1 his officials and his methods of bookkeeping by Meana of Hie Bill to Amend the audit act.

This will also be passed upon by the next legislature Aud if adopted by that body will be submitted to the people. There have been the grossest political scandals Aris ing out of the Law As it is which gives to a partisan majority of the House the right to upset or Courm a disputed election.

He would confine his remarks to dealing with figures Only though was quite aware the subject would be somewhat dry or less interest ing than if other matters were introduced. The proper expenditure of the Revenue was of the utmost importance especially with our limited income hence he would avoid the introduction of outside matters that to attention of the House might be the More directly centred upon the important mutters contained ii the estimates now Laid before the Houyao and the Public accounts which had been submitted. He thought this course would commend itself to the House As it would Conduce to a clearer Conception of the accounts and he trusted to a full free and fair discussion. The government desired that the most searching analysis should be made and that the fullest discussion should be of the Public accounts As they believed More thoroughly they wore disc pod the More apparent would is their satisfactory character not Only to members of the House but through them to the people of Tho pro to would adopt the same Mode As j the .

The Tobal Ord Mory expenditure and the expenditure for Public buildings railway Aid railway construction and other statutory payments amounted to Cash on hand. The amount o Cash on hand at Tho end of Tho year we reference to the Public accounts showed that on the Slat of december 1889, Tho Cash in hand was the total expenditure during the year was that of last year w08 38 so that the expenditure of last year exceeded that of the preceding year by while there waa Leas Cash on hand shown this year than a year ago it did not follow that Tho province was in a Worso position financially.

The expenditures under these head had exceeded those of Tho preceding Vear by in Short by that amount they had assets to represent including buildings Worth Thero was Alao Tho Benefit of increased facilities through the construction of railways. The additional expenditure Bud not been in the increase of civil government or expense but More in the direction of Grants to the Public and moneys paid out for maintaining institutions for Tho Benefit of the Public. Last your there was an increased expenditure for legislation of 204.12 this was not altogether within the control of the government but Tho Irgida Turaj waa perhaps altogether Mero bad been a Long session and a great Deal of legis lation been put through costing very much in to.

For education had been Given fast year that is Over a fifth of Tho Revenue of Tho province. Tho government had been Ablo to give every Public school about pc Leo. But for this assistance Many people would Havo been deprived of the Benefit of Oduca Tion. Even in the Largo settlements and towns the Large Aid had helped materially in establishing und maintaining Good educational institutions. For Aid to municipalities id been Given being Over 110 of _ the whole Ordinary Revenue of the province. This bad no doubt been found of great Bon Ogo to Tho municipalities. In the maintenance of asylums Tho deaf and dumb Institute the reformatory and Home for incurable a Large sum of Money had been spent other prov inces give very Large sums of Money for theae purposes. Ontario gave last your Over 000. In other provinces the Burden 1.1 placed to a considerable extent on the but in this province the government bears the whole Burden in order to relieve the municipalities and encourage settlement. Hon. Or. Mcmillan next contrasted the expenditure of Tho present with that of the Lato government fit to took education during the last two yearn of Tho Lato govern ment when the fixed Revenue was the name As at present.
