years\u2019 standing, writes us the following letter :\u2014 \u2018 \u2018 I was greatly pleased with your manly words in this morning\u2019s jiaper, re the threatened removal of theCartridg*-Factory fiom our city, and I think, with you, that the Government would be doing a monstrous thing should jt persist in closing this industry, which gives employment to many of our cit ztnsj and pays wages to the amounr of fifty or sixty thousand dollars a year.What has Quebec done that it should be tr* ated in tuig way ?I know from practical knowledge that the cartridges made here under Major Prevost\u2019s superintendence are as good ps any in the world.They cannot be manufactured any cheaper in Toronto, or for that matter, anywhere else, in this country.Your article should put backbone into our local members of Parliam- nt, and they should see to ir, that the rum -red injustice is not done.Yours, Miles.\u201d We believe our correspondent simply endorses public opinion.There was much talk in the city yesterday, over the report that the Cartridge Factory, which has done gr>od work ever since it was established, was about to be tran*ferred to Toronto.We trust that the Government will do nothing of the sort, and wo rely on the members of the Cabinet from this Province, and the members of Parliament from this Province also, to protest against the movement to despoil Quebec of an institution which has won golden opinions throughout the country, for the character and quality of its products.Mr.Patterson must see that he would be doing a most unpopular thing, should he decide to carry into execution, the project he is credited with having in his mind.He cannot hope to add to the effic ency of his department by taking the factory away from its old home.There are some things which do not bear transplanting, and the Quebec Cartridge Factory is one of them.Sir Adolphe Caron, Mr.Angers, Mr.Ovimet and Mr.Ives should have something to say on this subject, and the sooner they say it the batter.As for our district representatives, they have also a duty to perform, and we trust that they will do it, without fear or favor, and on the broad ground of common sense.It appears that the rumor put into circulation the other day, about Sir Hector Lanoevin and Mr.Tarte is untrue.Sir Hector, it was stated, would co-operate with his whilom adversary, to whom he owes his present political position, on the Manitoba School question.The story, on the face of it, seemed absurd, but our correspondent at the Capi'al took the trouble to interview the member for Three Rivers, on the subject.His answer was as follows :\u2014\u201cI have done nothing that can authorize such an assertion.This statement was invented for the purpose of making me declare iny position, but for the present I will refr du from >aying anything.At the proper time I will declare what I intend to do.\u201d SPORTING NEWS.Victoria Ccruno Clcb.The annual handicap medal shot competition for club prize

The session keeps up its interest to the last.It was stated in the House to night by Mr.Tuition that the Government hoped to lie able to finish the work of the session to-morrow and to prorogue on Monday.Yet there is any amount of excitement over the Mercier investigation and the Bourbonnais scandal, neither of which are so far concluded, while the Montreal bill is not finally disposed of, the amendments made in the Assembly tonight having to lie approved by the Council, and the Medical Bill woe only tnftTdrawn this evening.There was also an important debate to-day on a motion of non confidence.In the Legislative .Council there was an attempt by Mr.Gilman to kill Mr.Cooke\u2019s bill to prohibit the sate of tobacco, 4c., to minors under eighteen.He moved that the Committee rise without reporting, but finally a sub-amendment was carried to the effect that the Committee rise and report progress and ask permission to sit again to-morrow.toe bourbonnais matter.The Committee on Privileges and Elections this morning continued the investigation into the charges against M r.Bourbonnais.The latter was examined by Mr.Oasgrain and adhered to his declaration made by him in the House.His brother-in law and accuser, Marcoux, was then examined.He admitted haring made the sworn declaration before Mr.Sicoite.Magistrate of Montreal, which pro vnked the inquiry.He said he had received his appointment, through the influence of Mr.Bourbonnais, on the 12th of M irch, 1890, but had not done any duty as bush-ranger.He did not draw up any of the accounts presented to the Crown Lands Department, nor did he ask any person to do so for him, nor did he authorize any person to draw on the Department for him, as he had not done any work.He once asked Mr.Bourbonnais to see Mr.Charleson and draw money for him, as he wanted some.Mr.Bourbonnais gave him $250, in March, 1890, an advance., that Mr.Bourbonnais said that he had drawn for him.Mr.Bourbonnais was then a candidate for election in Boulanges County and saw witness every day.He was on good terms with Bourbonnais then and lie knew that he was going to usn the $250 in his election.He told Mr.Bourbonnais he wanted money and knew that he drew $150 from the Crown Lands D-partment in June, 1890.for him.Witness further said that he came to Queliec in June, when Mr.Bourbonnais was togive him $300 and a note entitling him to receive $200 of his (B »urbonnais) sessional allowance until he was paid what was due him.When he was leaving.Mr.Bourbonnais offered him all the money he had, $40, and promised to send the balance, but never did.Later on he sent him $30 in a letter.Mr.Bourbonnais promised him $200 each session.At that time he owed him $800.The same fall witness went to Quebec and saw Mr.Bourbonnais, who said that there aas a cheque payable to him at Mr.Duhamel\u2019s office.He saw Mr.Duhamel, who said that he knew nothing about it.L&ter on Mr.Bourbonnais told him that he owed him $850 drawn for him (witness) on his salary and asked him not to noise it about for it would hurt him.On Sunday morning Mr.Bourbonnais called on witness, saying that lie came tn settle and offered him $200 in cosh and $200 from each sessional allowance until the debt was paid.Witness refused to accept this and Mr.Bourbonnais left him crying and saying \u201cDo you want to send me to gaol?\u201d Witness answered \u201cNo,\u201d but said that he wanted to lie paid.Mr.Bourbonnais, senior, urged witness to settle, as he other wise would disgrace the family.Witness asked him to endorse his son\u2019s notes and he refused.Witness often asked Mr.Bourbon nais to get a situation for him ami he always answered that he was doing his best.The witness was cross-examined by Mr.Mercier who endeavored to show that Mr.Flynn had made some promise to him to get him to make tiie declaration, but witness distinctly denied this.Moreover, Mr.Flynn had distinctly refused to make any promise.He had not \u2019forbidden Mr.Bourbonnais to ¦(raw his salary.Ho was afraid that he would be discharged if he did.The Cammittee sat so long that it was impossible for the Public Accounts Committee to meet.In the House to-day, Mr.Carbray present ed the petition of the Rev.Messrs.Tail and Macleod, representing the Presbytery of Que l>ec, in connection with the Presbyterian Church in Canada, praying that a law be passed forbidding the sale of tobacco or opium in any form to any person, of either sex, under 18 years of ase.Routine was rapidly disposed of, and Mr.Hall moved the House iuio Supply.Mr.Marchand thereupon rose to move A non-confidence motion.He would, he said, have preferred to move earlier in the session the amendment he had now the honor of submitting ; it had been, however, impossible for him to do so.The public accounts and other financial state ments furnished by the Treasurer had beeu brought down at a comparatively recent date and it had taken some time to examine them thoroughly.The circumstance which had attended the advent of the present Government were doubtless fresh in the minds of every member of the House.Tho present administration had made a solemn promise to the people that they would restore financial equilibrium by means of economy and without in): nosing additional taxes on the people.They had advertised themselves after the manner of patent remedy vendors, offering a marvellous specific for all possible ills.The tune of political regeneration had at length soundod, the Provincial liberator had come down from the sublime regions of irresponsibility with promises of universal prosperity and happiness.He would spare the House the recital of the events that foltpwed, hut regretted to have to state that those promises had been violated, the economy of t he new administration had proved to he fictitious, the taxes alone were real, and they had been imposed so injudiciously, with so little regard to the economical conditions of the Province, that the population had risen in a mass to protest not against the amou»t of the tax, hut against the iniquitous manner in which they were levied.The agitation had been sc great that the Government organs themselves were unwillingly dragged into it.The members of the pieseut Government, when in Opposition, had taken the year 1886 as a point of comparison.All these non confidence motions had been based upon that year.Now that they were in power not only had they not reduced the expenditure to their own standard of 1886, but they had not even reduced on the expenditure of the Mercier Gov-erment.which they had so savagely condemned on all the hustings of the country.It would be found on examining the public accounts that the Treasurer had, in order to make the expenditure under Mercier appear higher, accumulated in one year the expenditure of fifteen mouths on the item of lunatic asylums, had placed in a lump sum against one year, amounts voted to be paid by instalments extending over several years, not to speak of other mistakes of a less serion* nature which completely annihilated the pretended economy of $190,000 which he claimed.Real economy had been made, it was true, on the items of Public Instruction amt Agriculture, hut even ibis did not bring the ex pendit nre to a lower figure than under the Mercier Government, without counting that Public Instruction and Aaricultnre were precisely the two items which the Province at present most needed.I os Wad 61 ecouorny, therefore, we bad bad taxation to the extent of $5(K),000, and in spite of this additional sum levied, the deficiencies in the Budget had continued and the liahilit ies of the Province had been increased by $4H),000 under the present administration.It had been stated in answer to those who believed that tho coup d'etat was unconstitutional, that under the circumstances the end justified the means.The argument could no longer he used, since the situation appeared even worse than before.The Treasurer had not even informed the House how he pro posed to meet the deficiency.Under these circumstances he would move in amendment : That in consenting to vote the supplies to Her Majesty this House declares : That the De Boucherville Government came into power by undertaking to improve the financial position of the Province\u2014winch they claimed to have been compromised \u2014by means of strict economy and without overburdening l he people with new imposts.That it was iu consideration of this undertaking that the Government obtained the support of the majority of the people at the last general elections.Thai instead of practicing economy in a serious and efficient manner it has maintained the amount of our annual expenditure at a figure which its Ministers and supporters had themselves denounced as exorbitant and alarming.(Speech of Hon.Mr.Hall at Windsor Hall, pages 33 and 34.) That far from reducing the controllable expenditure, as they had promised, to the approximate amount of that incurred for the year 1885-86 which he cited as a model, he, as well as the Govern ment, composed entirely, with one exception, of the members of the De Boucherville Government, has shown that they are unable to reduce it in a perceptible manner, as may be seen by the following table :\u2014 Expenses for the Administration of Justice for 1885-86.$478,506\t00 For the year 1892 93 .624,908\t00 Excess for the year 1892-93.146,402\t00 Expenses for Civil Government for 1885 86.183,514\t00 For the year 1892 93.253,967\t00 Excess for the year 1892-93 .70,453\t00 Miscellaneous expenses for 1885- 86 .239 580\t00 For 1892 93.360,748\t00 Excess for the year 1892 93 .121,168\t00 That the reductions in the public expenditure announced by the Provincial Treasurer in his Budget Speech before this Honse on the 20th May, 1892, and set furth in a tabular statement printed at page 33 of that Speech, are not real redactions, but that the figures representing them indicate in a great mea sure, only the result of a change in the methods of keeping the accounts, by which he adds to the expense account of 1891 92 disbursements which, by their very nature, extend over a much longer period.That, for instance, to give only one of many examples, the account of expenses of insane asylums for each year ending, accord ing to the system of accounts formerly followed, on the 3lst March, lias l>een entered in the Public Accounts of the ycai 1891-92, for the period lietween the 31st March, 1891, and the 30th June.1892, that is to say for fifteen months instead of twelve, thus debiting under this head the accounts for 1891 92 with an expenditure of $69,60S which, under the system of accounts formerly followed, should have been charged to 1890-91, thereby erroneously increasing the pretended reduction in the expenditure of 1892-93 by so much (see Public Accounts of 1890-91, page 144 and 145, and Public Accounts of 1891-92, pages 166 and 107.) That this new method of keeping the accounts has produced similar results for large amounts iu the expenses chargeable in the said two years to the accounts of prothono-laries, clerks, coroners and district magistrates and to the account of miscellaneous expenses.That the remainder of the pretended reductions claimed for the year 1892-93 apply in a very great measure to Public Instruction, Agriculture and Colonization, viz : $29,296.00 for Public Instruction ; $89,-927.00 lor Agriculture, Colonization and Immigration.That this table does not represent a real economy but, os regards several items, a simple mutation of figures without any perceptible reduction except in the important branches of Public Instruction, Agriculture and Colonization.That contrary to their assertions during the period of the elections the two Government» above mentioned instead of balancing their budget by means of a real economy, have had recourse to onerous ami unjust taxes to meet the public expenses, which have always been maintainel at a figure denounced by themselves as excessive.That, even with the surplus revenue produced by these new taxes and calculated by the Honorable Treasurer iu his Budget Speech delivered on the 31st January last (pages 12 and 15) at $500,000.00 for 1892 93 and $560,000.00 for the year.1893-94 ; the Government has not succeeded in establishing the promised equilibrium between the annual receipts and expenditure as shown by the Budget Speech of the 31st January last, which admits a deficit of $309,111.00 in the estimates of the Receipts and Expenditure of 1892 93 and a deficit of $288,537.00 in those of 1893 94.That, consequently, both the Governments have failed in the mission they have undertaken.\u201d Hon.Mr.Hall rose amid loud applause to respond to the Opposition leader.The motion before the House was, he said, a charge against the financial administration of the Province.It was true that when the De-Boucherville Government came to power it promised by strict economy to endeavor to improve the financial condition of the Province, and this promise had been and was still being conscientiously observed.But he complained of the unfairness of the motion prepared by the Opposition, which (nLced upon the Votes and Proceedings of the House would create a false and erroneous impression.Most unfair of all was it to compare the expenditure of the fiscal year 1892-93 with that of the last year of the Ross administration, 1885 86, for since the latter date the expenditure had beeu annually swelled to such an alarming extent by the late Government, that it was impossible to get back all at once to Kie figures of 1885-86 It was to meet the obligations left by the Mercier administrai ion that the Government haul been compelled to impose the new taxes.As he had alrea ly said to the House, he did not pretend that these taxes were perfect, or that they could not be made more equitable.But he was glad to say that it was only in Montreal that they had beeu called iniquitous.This was no new term to be applied to taxes, as would be found if we compared the manner in which these were met with what was said of the income tax in England and of taxes imposed in New York, Massachusetts, California and elsewhere In pursuance of the unfair system pursued by the motion, it was shown that the cost of the administration of justice this year was $146,000 mofe than it was iu 1885 and 1886.But the unfairness of the statement was shown in the failure to draw the comparison between the expenditure of this year and of last.As an instance of how the present Opposition,/ when in power, had increased the expenditure of the Department of Justice, he showed that in 1885-86 it was in round figures $478,000; in 188Q 87.$497,000 ; in 1887-88, $554,000; in 1888 89, $539.000 ; in 1889 00, $599,000 ; in 1890 91, $679,000 ; in 1891-92, $695,000.Had the motion gone a little further and given the Government\u2019s estimate of expenditure for 1899 94 for the Department of Justice, it would be found that there was an economy of about $80,000, no that there were not wanting indications that the Government was getting hack to the figures of I885-86.The same comparison that lie complained of had been made in connection wiih the expenditure for Civil Government and mis-cellauenus services.It was tedious however, to the House to lie troubled with figures, and he would not read Chen) out, but simply «ay that a correct statement of these annual expenditures since 1885 86 would be found in his Budget Speech of last year, continued in that of the present session.As to the charge that twelve months\u2019 expenditure under the present Government had been contrasted by him with fifteeen months under the preceding administration, it was not true.There may have been slight differences owing to the changed system of bookkeeping, but this could only have ooourred in regard to lunatic asylums, where advances of payments were sometimes applied for and in the Department of Justice where Sheriffs drew In advance for the expenses of a coming quarter.Mr.Marchand said the statement applied to other expenditures also Mr Hall claimed that this was wrong, and sajd the amount so affected was at all events very small.In regard to the expenditures of lost and the current year, he pointed out that the estimates for 1892-93 amounted to $5,-582,178, that these included a million dollars fpr railway subsidies.They were $1,261,-000 less than the expenditure for 1891 92, which amounted to $6,843,(XX).Certainly, in 1891 92 there was included a gum of $41*0,000 for the Montreal jail, only aUmt the half of which was expended, how-ever ; but even deducting the whole sum, it will ho seen that we asked the House to voie $800,000, in round figures, leu for 1892 03 than for 1891-92.Here, Mr.Mercier interrupted the Trea.surer, to remark that one of tho principal complaints of the leader of the Opposition, both in his motion and in his speech supporting it, was that in all these comparisons between the expenditures of the present and the last Government, twelve months'outlay of the former was contrasted with fifteen of the latter.This, the Treasurer said, wan not the case.If, in his system of making these comparisons, there was anything that honorable gentlemen opposite considered improper, he reminded them that he won doing w hat his predecessor in office hail done.If there were such discrepancies at all, as were complained of, they occured as lie had explained and only where he had stated, and could he easily adjusted.They certainly would not ex ceed $60,000.The reduction in ex-penditare would certainly be over $650,000.The last part of the motion alleged a deficit in the finances of the Province for the current Îear.He had already shown the House in U Budget Speech that there would he sn apparent and unavoidable deficit, hut reminded them that this was arrived at by including in the ordinary expenditure the repayment of the railway guarantee deposits ami the outlay upon the Montreal jail, without which, and by the duo collection of the new taxes there would have been, instead of a deficit, a suplus of $150,000.The method of his hon.friends opposite would doubtless have neon as in the past, to have obtained from imposing hardens on the people, and to have made a floating debt to have been later extinguished with others, by a loan, out of extraordinary expenditure.Perhaps his predecessor, however, would be able to inform the House whether the Province would have beeu able, without shoulder-iug some new burdens, to have negotiated further loans.He recalled to the Opposition the fact that his predecessor went to Europe to negotiate a loan of fifty million francs and only borrowed twenty million.The ex-Treasurer, Mr.Shehyn, interrupted Mr.Hall by saying that it was not because they were unable to borrow the balance of the amount that they returnad without it, but because the market was not at that time favorable for large operations.Mr.Hall said tha^t he did not know why the condition of the European money markets should have been so much more unfavorable for the Province of Quebec than for other Canadian corporations which had borrowed there on more favorable terms.(Mr.Mercier and Mr.Shehyn together \u201cNot at that time\u201d).Nomina\u2019ly, tho Paris loan was for 4 per cent.In reality, with charges, its rate was fully 6 per ceht, while the present Government, after coming into power and entering upon a policy of economy, had borrowed from local institutions at 4^ per cent net.This, he added, was very much t j the credit of these institutions and of their patriotism.In conclusion ho said that the Government was doing its best to get back to the figures of 1885-86, hut it was impossible to do this all at once.It must not be forgotten that they had to deal with an annual burden of half a million of dollars imposed upon the Province by the Mercier administration.The hnn.gentleman resumed his seat amid loud applause.Mr.Gladu replied to Mr.Hall, saying that the Treasurer had said that he was obliged to provide for half a million of additional ex- Keuditure saddled on the Province by Mr.lender.He had done so by imposing new taxation to that amount.Yet the yearly doficienuies continued and he pretended that the liabilities of the Province had been increased by $600,000.He then went into the detail of the economies effected by the Government, repeating in a different form Mr.March&nd\u2019s previous demonstration.He added that the argument was not necessary since the Treasurer himself had admitted that discrepancies might exist, although he was not sure of their amount.Tho Government had realized on public instruction, it seemed to him that at a time when it was publicly stated that only one-third of the jurymen in the Province could read and write, it was moat unfortunate that the Government should not see its v ay to economise on some other branch.They had also cut down the credit fur agriculture, although ho had understood that the.policy of the Government was to help farmers as much as possible to improve their present deficient mode of agriculture.It now appeared that they were ready to do anything for farmers except vote them money.It was true that the rural districts could not complain seeing that all the new taxes had been piled upon the city population.There was a third relreochment the Gov eminent had made.He rememliered that in a convent in the locality where he resided, the good nuns had offered up public prayers to Heaven for the triumph of the yrcat Christian Mr.de Boucherville over the powers of darkness as represented by Mr.Mercier.The same thing had been done all over the country and the good nuns and monks had got more than they prayed for, as the great Christian, in his accesdon to power has cut off altogether the small grants, which they received from the treasury under the wicked regime.They must now be regretting their prayers.(Loud laughter.) At 6 o\u2019clock the House took recess.after recess the Montreal bill was taken up and the amendments made in the Council adopted witli the exception of the following :\u2014 \u201cThe cost of the expropriation for the ex-ten tion of Ste.Catherine street, from Harbor street to Descry street, in Hochelaga Ward, shall be paid as follows : one half by tiie city and the balance by the proprietors of lands bordering on Ste.Catherin - street, in the following manner ; one quarter by the riparian proprietors of the said street, in Hochelaga Ward, between Harbor street and the eastern limit of the city, ami the other quarter by the proprietors of lands bordering on the said street between Harbor and St.Alexander streets.In order to carry out the provisions of this section, an assessment roll shall ne made according to the provisions of the charter, lint the said assessment shall only he made on a depth of seventy-five feet on each of the immoveables situated on each side of the street.\u201d On motion of Mr.Morris the clause was struck out, it being understood that the legislative Council will accept the amendment.Mr.Cholette withdrew the Medical Bill which, he said, uo longer met the views of its promoters.He appeared very much disgusted at the treatment the hill had received, and threatened next year to move to abolish the College of Physicians and Surgeons if it was of no importance in the Province.To this Mr.' Dechene retorted \u201cSo much the b?tler.We may perhaps live all the longer for it.\u201d M r.Tessier moved for returns concerning the employment of the $75,(XX) granted for colonization.He spoke on the subject for a quarter of an hour, alluding to Mr.Monfet\u2019s report.The Hon.Mr.Pelletier, in answer to Mr.Girard, of Rouville, said that the Commission of the Peace in the County of Bcrlhier had been revoked, on the recommendation of Mr.Allard, M.P.P.Hon.Mr.Cosgr&in, in answer to Mr.Lussier, said that the number of employees in the Montreal Court House had not been changed since the time of Mr.Mercier and that the Government had not taken action concerning the members of the Civil Service corresponding for newspapers.Mr.Savaria then resumed the debate on the non-confi.lence motion and spoke with fluency and at considerable length, supporting the contentions and figures of tho Treasurer in quite an able speech.Mr.Morris followed in a short speech, in which he said that he had differed with the Government on the question of taxes, hut accepted their promise that the scheme of taxation woqld be remodeled next year.He could not approve of the uriticism of the Opposition, because he believed them to be the authors of the present financial difficulties of the Province, having pillaged the treasury to the last dollar, their leaders having gone on a jaunt to Europe at the public expense, with the flag of the Province at the masthead and not a cent in the Treasury.Mr.Dechene spoke os if ho felt hurt to see Mr, Morris support the Government after objecting to the taxes, and differing with the Ministers on the Legislative Council and different other questions.Mr.Carbray followed in favor of the Government, The question was then put on the amendment, which was lost on the following division .Yeas\u2014Messrs.Marchand, Mercier, Ber-natchez, Tessier ( Portneuf), Caron, Gillies, Gosselin, Parent, Morin,

Mr.Turgeon and otheis, that of Mr Turgeon, asking the House to condemn the Government for employing Mr.Christopher Robinson, an Ontario lawyer, and went into Committee, passing nearly all the remaining items of the estimates.Most of the remaining items of the Order Paper were hurried through at racehorse speed and the House passed in Committee the Hou.Mr.Pelletier\u2019s resolutions on the Beau-port Asylum matter, and left oonourrençe in them for to-morrow, when it is likely everything but the Supply Bill will be finally disposed of.It was nearly 2 o\u2019clock when the House adjourned, after which the Opposition leader and some of his friends us well as the Speaker, most of the Ministerial members who had remained in the House and the members of the Press and chief officiais of the House spent a social hour with the Premier and exchanged civilities over a glass of wine in celebration of the near approach of prorogation.A notice of motion for tomorrow has been given by Hon.Mr.Archambault, in the Legislative Council, for the appointment of a Special Committee to study during the recess and report next session upon tiie advisability of amending the constitution of the Council.Multum in Parvo.Because a thing is small in size, Think not \u2019twill pay to scorn it : Some insects have a larger waist, But lift less than the hornet.~ Some people may, perhaps, scorn, on
