There is obvious purpose on the part of the majority of the Public accounts commit tee to Burke inquiry into the supposed irregularities of the Dominion printing Bureau. Some Days ago we published what was alleged to be a copy of an agreement Between is management of la Presse a Montreal newspaper in which the Secretary of state Lias a Large monetary interest. And she England paper company. The newspaper was indebted to the com Pany in a Large amount for which notes were Given and the Between the two was that one half the profit the company might make on any contracts for paper supplied to the govern ant would be applied in liquidation of this indebtedness. On the face of it this was a corrupt agreement As or. Chapleau who was on the notes Given to the company is the actual head of the government printing Bureau. When the mat Ter was first mentioned before the committee a motion was carried directing that the original of this agreement should be produced in evidence. It happened to be in the custody of a court in Montreal As the re suit of a suit Between the parties and a sub Pena was issued to the officer having it in charge. When this person appeared before the committee and offered to produce the original in obedience to the committee s own direction objection was taken that it was not relevant to the inquiry As put by the chair Man and sustained by a majority the Docu ment was not a proper one to be placed before the Public accounts committee but should Moro properly be Brou lit before the privileges and elections committee us otherwise the Public accounts committee would be usurping the junctions of the privileges and elections the matter was discussed for two Days by the committee before a decision was reached and a most disgraceful Wrangle it was. There was evidently a fear that or. Would be compromised and it was resolved that he should be protected at All hazards. Or. Fos Ter minister of finance was Tho Leader in resisting the production of the original. Agree ment without which or. Linter who has the inquiry in charge declared he could not pro coed or Foster and other ministers and government supporters took the ground that tie investigation assumed dishonesty or malfeasance of office on the part or. Chap Leau and As a minister s conduct was thus involved or. Lister was bound to make his in the House and on Bis responsibility As a member. Or Lister protested that he had no charge to make against the Secretary of state than so far As he knew that minister was innocent bub that there were irregularities in connection wifi the Bureau and that he could not properly proceed to expose them without having this agreement As the basis of is Knees patriotism and exceeding great Wisdom of that paper will not question it. Every Dollar wasted in a Manitoba ditch intended to make capital for the Greenway government comes directly out of the pocket of the Ontario taxpayer. It is he who contributed the Money that the Dominion Parlia ment voted in Aid of the baie Des Oha Leurs railway and it is out of his pocket that the wretched Paraud stole his in Brit ish Columbia or Nova Scotia it is the same whether it be waste in local expenditure or us baddies from the Dominion in Aid of Public works it is tha oppressed and patient of of an Ontario taxpayer who bears it All. As at one is not so much so As some Lead to roads cd to Rome so Are the trickling streams or swelling torrents of corruption or wastefulness in any part of the Dominion forever fed from the bleeding pocket of the Ontario taxpayer. This Baa Long been the Burthen of complaint the Wail of lamentation set up by the Toronto Globe and Asio believes in it so must others. It is right in saying that Ontario is interested in the Paraud scandal. The theft of of Public Money is a matter that concerns All the provinces of the Dominion Tor it a so much substance taken from a rail Way in which the Dominion has already in vested end the Road is Little More than half built. If the Federal Treasury is to be tapped to help build railways in Quebec the people of the country have a right to expect that the government of Quebec will not encourage much less participate in thefts that will Render the assistance unavailing. But the Ontario taxpayer stands no greater share of the loss than the taxpayer of any other province Man for Man he does not stand As great a share As the Manitoba taxpayer for he does not contribute As much to the Revenue. This constant thrusting of the Ontario taxpayer under the a uses of the other prov. Inces although done in sheer ignorance for the writer does not know any better is becoming offensive. That very a worthy individual contributes his share to the Public Revenue and no More he con tributes his share because he contributes in proportion to his consumption. But As he happens to aggregate nearly half of the population he must expect to pay in the aggregate nearly half of the whole Revenue otherwise he a a very shabby fellow. He is a very shabby fellow in any Case if he is the whining sort of person to be. The Toronto Globe makes him out in. Laki vibe made a very foolish objection if As reported he protested against the people of Ontario giving their views on the this was during the discussion of the Northwest Bill in reply to or. O Brien s remarks on the subject of separate schools. The people of Ontario have exactly the same right to give their views on the Northwest As the people of Manitoba or of any other province or of the territories them selves. One of the duties of the Ontario members As of All other members of the do minion parliament is to provide a system of government for those territories. That duty is not confined exclusively to or. Lari Viere and his compatriots and he makes a mistake when a talks in that direction. News of the Harvest. Reapers at work in. Mirny localities is Here at Bast. Oak Lake aug. Of the Assini Boine a.

The Binder is a work in some of the grandest crops of wheat that this no. 1 wheat bearing District has Ever produced. The proverbial oldest inhabitant can remember no season when the Farmers prospects were brighter. There is a brisk demand for Good men for Harvest. There is a matter which is causing uneasiness to some of our local wheat Viz the very inadequate facilities our town affords for the marketing of the immense crop which will undoubtedly be marketed Here. What Are the enterprising train dealers of the province thinking of do allow one Small elevator to have the monopoly at a Point which is recognized beyond dispute As the Centre of one of the safest and Best Grain raising districts in Manitoba.

Communications. A complaint from Belmont. To the editor of the free press. I me through the columns of your paper to Lay the following complaint of the dangerous Speed of the postal system fore the Public. We the people of Belmont who Are situated about 120 Miles in a direct line from Winnipeg and who Aro directly connected with that pity by railway communication have just had the fact demonstrated to us that the Well being of the people and Gen eral social advancement of the country receive no sympathy with the present government. For years previous to the railway running Taroura Here we could get a latter to Winni Peg in four Days which As everyone will admit was none too rapid. Then came the n. P. R., and we being a very grateful lot of people were very thankful for it. About two months ago we were promised through the papers increased postal facilities via n. P.e., but no it was supposed we were making too rapid Progress and what does the govern ment do but delay the dispatch of our letters two Days so that where we could communicate with Winnipeg in four Days that the train runs past our doors it takes six or As Long As for a letter to go from Mon Treal to Vancouver. I should like to ask if this is Progress in the right and people in this District feel a Little indignant at the Way we Are thus treated and As we Are informed that politics Aro at the foundation of it nil we shall show our want of Confidence in this government at the next election. A. 33. B. Belmont Man., aug 14. Catching Large numb Ira of seals Iii behold a Faith in lie modes Visendi. A dispatch from St. Petersburg states according to recent Russhon advices from Eastern Siberia the russian sealers have already captured a considerable Quantity of skins in the Waters controlled by the russian government and there is no apparent cessation in their operations the authorities Are keep ing a Sharp Lookout for trespassers in the russian jurisdiction and so far several have been chased but none captured. The sealing season has been excellent no Deming Tion in the number of seals being apparent. The russians apparently feel under no obligations p.8 to any agreement with great and it is rumoured on sem official authority that no Confidence is placed by the Ozar s representatives in Eastern Siberia in the Good Faith of the american sealing company which they claim is taking advantage of the proviso allowing them to capture a cer Tain number of seals to take All the seals they can get. The russians therefore have been going ahead with their Seal fishing a Wilder the russian Flag and with entire Independence of any other National arrangement.

The convention of Olive Oil producers recently assembled in this City took a decided stand Tor pure homemade Oil this stand was not taken a Day too soon. When a few months ago some official tests were made of the purity of Olive Oil it was found that some brands or rather certain lots had already been adulterated. The is very Strong to keep a Spuri Ous article 511 Market. Cottonseed Oil and some other be get abut oils will always be cheaper than pure Olive Oil. The imported article is continually sold at a lower Price than that produced at Home. The area suited to Olire culture in this country has never been accurately defined. In general terms it May be said to include the country on the Western Side of the sierras below 42 dogs. Of latitude Down to and including parts of Arizona and Mexico. Beyond this territorial area it is not probable that the Olive will make much of a figure. Indeed there is n Strong probability that for at least a whole generation the Only state in the Union that will get much commercial prominence for the production of the Olive will be California. The growers who have already become producers Here Are pioneers. Olive Orchards have been planted almost As freely during the last two or three years As Apple or Plum Orchards. The area of olives not in bearing is greater than that in fruit age. The planting will go on in coming seasons because there is satisfactory evidence that the business will be a paying one. The convention has established the very conditions of action securing a perfect guarantee of the purity of Olive Oil produced in fran Cisco bulletin weather bulletin. He peals were vain the committee voted that the agreement should not be produced. It was course of the discussion got his grabber s information notes of that from the in the or. Lister the Steno trial at tray or. Lister s exceedingly damaging and relational reply to this that he could prove those notes were afterwards altered. Or. Chapleau May be As innocent As the child unborn but Tho All this will save on the Public mind will be that his printing Bureau is Raki cd with corruption which he and the government Are anxious to conceal. There can be no doubt that the position taken by or. Lister was the Correct one and that he was entitled to have the original agreement produced be fore the committee. The action of the government supporters a preventing this can Only suggest a guilty apprehension. However the inquiry a but delayed and perhaps we shall yet get at All the facts. Is Seemu monstrous that such serious charges against one of the departments of government should be choke off in this fashion.

They Are some Ginseng in Commerce. The Trade in Ginseng is a revival of one that formerly existed. In the autumn of 171c Pere Joseph Francois Lavitan a Jesuit father who had arrived in Che country in 1713, and bras stationed at the Saulic above Montreal discovered the Plant. He had been in Quebec in 1715, and there a letter of Pere Artoux vrho had seen Gin seng in tartary in 1709, and who gave a description of it. La Stan inquired about it from the indians and examined the country to find it. At this time it was Worth its weight in Gold at Pekin. A company was formed to Export it Japan and tartary. The Price at Quebec bras from thirty to forty sous or cents per Pound. At first any Ona was allowed to sell it but As its value increased the company exercised its monopoly rights and in 1751 undertook to exclude All others from the Trade. As the demand increased the care with which it was obtained and prepared was relaxed. It was gathered oat of season and imperfectly dried in stove ovens. Even in this state it brought Twenty five Livres per Pound. Ii 1753 Ginseng of this character to tha value of Livres was exported. In 1754the value of the Export had fallen to Livres. A Quantity sent to la Hochelle remained but finally found , where its inferior Quality gave the Canadian article a bad repute the demand fell of and the Export Bellia popular science monthly a Gold ainu on a Hoof. _ free thousand dollars for an old tin roof would be a pretty Steep Price but the Man who gets the battered roof from the old Tabernacle Church at Broad Street and South Penn Square which is being t6rri away for that suru will be in great Luck. Some years ago the paint was scraped Oil the old roof and yielded in Fine Gold. It is almost certain to yield As much this time. The Gold comes from the mint. When Gold is being coined a consider Able Quantity of it Volatilize with the smoke through the Chimney and As soon As it strikes the air it Falls. Much of it Falls in the roof of the mint so much of it that Tho officials save oven the water that Falls upon it during a Shower. All the drains from the roof Are connected with Large vats in the cellar of the mint. Before the water finally gets to the sewer it is strained through Many blankets and sieves which retain the Gold. Notwithstanding All these precautions the Gold that is annually washed into tha Delaware from the mint is Worth thou Sands of dollars. Every of dirt Swey 6 up about the mint is carefully stored away with the washings from the roof and once every year it is sold to the High est bidder As it cannot be used at the mint. Record.
