Mr. Clancy. in resuming the debate raid that filers was a shrinkage in the Domin- ion accounts which the hon. Treasurer had failed to account for. A reduction of 3210 000 had been made in the 6 p» 2' cent. bends between 1%!) and 188:). He eon. tended that the subsidy at (Ionfedemiicn, end the capital constituted by timber lends. and a trust held by the Dominion could not be called a surplus. Neither were the Upper Canada Grammar Subcul Fund nor the Upper Canada Building Fund. amounting respectively to 8312.769 and 81.4.... .. .ny portion of the assets or liabilities. He pointed out that while an asset might be a surplus. e surplus was not always an asset. Coming to what the hon. Treasurer had been pleased to cull liabili- ties not at present oynblc. the hon gentle man said that the not of the matter was that since 1884 the hon. Tressnrer had been unable to meet the Obligations that ought to have been met onto? the revenue. and had been compelled to pledge the Pro- vince for the amount required. and today there is a debt of neerly 31,000,000. _ Mr. Awrey denlt with the question of public institutions and the maintenance thereof. fie defied the hon. member from Toronto to point to one single official in the em lay of the Government that gets one dollar more than he ought to. Dealing with the statistics of usylums for the past your. he showed that while the hon. mem- ber from Toronto had asserted that Mid. dleecx inc. Woolworth furnished the greater number of criminals such was not really the nose. Touching on education. the hon. gentleman charged the hon. member .‘rcm Toronto with stating by implication that the expenditure had been unfair and unjust to the common schools of the Provides. He had omitted to state that while more money bud been granted the Separate Schools these schools had loosened proportionately. Continuing. the hon. gentleman said that.whilo the cost of civil government had increased during the at five years in Ontario on] 5 per cent” A had increased in the Dom nion curring the some length of time 55 percent. Logic. lotion had increased in Ontario 5 per cent. and in the Dominion 25 per cent. These were facts worth considering. The ex n- diture. he admitted. had been angrily larger than the revenue during tho last few years. The policy of the Government. as stated by tho Treasurer. had been to draw upon the surplus rather than to: the people. This course has been adopted. The hon. monitor for Kent had made the cs‘tcunding statement that cash was not an asset, Mr. Clancyâ€"I never said any such thing. bfr. Awrey-â€"He had sold it was capitol. ond could not be counted as o our his. Ha I would ask the hon. member for t if the Dominion 0 por cont. bonds. amounting to 02i0.000. and tho 8 per cent. debentures. amounting to 0187 ‘81. were note sundqu m trust fuude not, the Dominion. he maintained. could be realised at on time.

Ir. lorodithâ€"Ioo. but everyone who knows anything about the administration of justice in this Province knows that judges. for certain reasons whidl will not now bo discuosod. prefer sandman or for two years to the Control P instead of for three years to Kingston. With reference to tho terminal annuities he did not think that the hon. transom was pursuing the course of his predecech in omce in issuing these annuities. The hon. gentlemen bcootod of their our us. but if they had a surplus. why did y have to go into the markets to borrow mono f Mr. Mcwot. in rioin to reply. if that there was not the sl htoot danger of tho people being misled. he chief roe-int for the hon. gentleman's indignation for a number of years was because the refused to be misled. Ho denied that there was any concealment. It was quite true that there was a charge against the Pro- vince in the form of annuities. What the hon. gntloman would want the hon. Treasurer to do would be to capitalist this liability. This liability was in the form of s. mortgage. If it were capitalized. then the whole assets of the Province in the shape of unsold timber limits. Crown lands. and the moneys due or payable on such assets would also have to be capital- ized in ordcr to give a proper estimate of the fluauriul position 0 the Province. The financial statement furnished only con- tained such assets as might be considered ready Glob. and the liabilities showed only the present charges. There was on enor- mous cmcnnt of moneys due to the Crown lands. The timber limits represented only 86,000,000 of assets. a very small propor- tion of the whole amount, 856,000,000. it would be a ridiculous thing. continued the hon. Attorney-General. to place the annui- ties as liabilities, and not put down any put of the food out of which it is to come. lie had referred to the value of Crown lands and unsold timber limits. which had not appeared on line assets or large sums of assets which were held. The Govern- ment annually received it very large sum under the British North America Act. amounting to considerably upwards of one million dollars. This was a permanent annuity. '1 he honorable Treasurer. the Attorny-(leueral contended. had but fol. lowed the course of the Dominion itself in this matter. Mr. Meredith~No. Mr. Mowut-u I say yes. It was an annual sum that the Province had to pay. just as the Dominion obligations to which he had already ref-sued. In substance they were precisely the same. In concluding be said that his hon. friend the leader of the Oppo- sition would have to present a much stronger case than he lied today why the affairs of the Province should not remain in the bonds of the present Administra- tion. Mr. Ross (Huron) repudiated the ester. . lines that his financial statement had been calculated to deceive the people of the Province. Continuiu . the hon. gentlemen said that the the toto amount drown from the surplus to meet expenditure over assets during the past seven sure had been 3469.936. instead of the do cit of 01.800.000 as had been charged. Ho repented his contention that the interest showed that a surplus existed capable of being realized upon. He then moved that the House go into Committee of Supply. Mr. 8 her left the chair. The once then went into committee. Mr. O‘Connor in the chair. Ono item was passed. Mr. Speaker took tho choir and the House resumed. llr. Meredith enquired of the Govern- ment when the question of ti grant to the University would come before the House Mr. Mcwat replied that it would bore- forred to in committee tomorrow and be discussed on Thursday. Mr. Meredith enquired of the Govern» ment whether they were in possession of any information as to the cost of recon- struction. and thought the fullest info a- "lion possible on the subject should be gis- cented to the HOSE-a Mr. Mowct stutter. “..tut the information would be forthcoming.

He oompluined that the rents had not been rquitably distributed. n his own section 016 had been granted to one school and 0100 to another. the want in both cases being the some. Mr. Ross(Middlooex) replied that 925,000 had been given annually for poor school grants. In order that the distribution might be fairly mode, u sum was set sport per quarter to Separate schools. in propor- tion to what they were entitled to receive. 'Ihs grant of 016 had been made on the representation of the inspector of that see- ticn. Since the your 1886 a shore of the fund had been withdrawn and given to Separate schools who hsve poor schools.

The recommendation had been made by Mr. Wluliam Johnston. inspector for Leeds. Mr. Preston accepted the explanation. Mr. Wood (Bootlegs) thought there should be no stinction in the matter of grants to So ate Schools. He was also of opinion that the poor school grant should be increased. They were as dooorving of recogan us the university. Be objected to the so in being called “ Poor Schools." and th '33 the rt of m . should receive assistance imply because they needed it.

The property lost is a portion of the oadcwmsnt. and this alone the Province is asked to restore. In 1798 the Legislature granted 407.0“ acres of land as an oudowrneut fcr higher education. This was 100 years ago. when the population of the Province was loos than 00.000. when there were no railways or canals. Still. even than the turn recognised the valuo of r adulation. (Applouoo.) In 1818, 272. acres were routed to restore 110.000uuroo that had been divorted from the endowment. and in 1887 a portion of the fund of Upper Canada College had been handed over to the university and the site itself. worth half a million dollars. In conclusion. be con- sidered the sum asked very small. and he was satisfied that the resolution would most the support of both side! of the Rom (Aylouse ) r.Croighton,in speaking to the motion. said that it was a at stake to suppose thus graduates only sympathiud with the uni- versity in the recent disaster. The hon. gentleman declared himself heartily in accord with the proposition to grant 0160.- 000 towards the restoration of the univer- sity. The grunt was not one of additional aid. but simply to aid a Provincial tactile. lion. Mr. Wood (Hastings) did not wish the resolution: pressed upon the House at this early stage. 119 thought additional infor- motion was required. Mr. H. E. Clarke wished to assure the House of the cordial support of the Oppo- sition in the proposed grant. There was no pile of buildings on the continent more admired than the pile that now lies in rules in the Queen's Park. Ho advocated the necessity of having Convocation Hall erected at some rlietencs from the Univer- sity proper,iu order to prevent any similar calamity in lutnre. The erection of a very large hell for such as purpose at an expense of soy 0100.000 would be of inostimuble benefit. This cost. the hon. gentleman thought. could be met by the City Council and resident citizens. The 8160.000. how- ever. was absolutely necessary. He did not see why the House should do oy the matter till next week as urged by the hon. member Mr. Fraser reminded the hon.gcntle- man who asked for more time that a bill would have to be introduced based on the resolution before the House. Practically there was no reason why the resoluticu should not be carried. There would be plenty of time to consider the bill before the session closed. Mr. Clancy was not convinced of the propriety of having the House pledged to assent to the resolution and discuss be- tuils afterwards. Mr. Meredith regretted to see that oppo- sition had been made to the proposed prompt action to render assistance to the university. He deprecated such action. and thought it was plainly the duty of the Province to stand by its institutions. It would be u contempttble thing on the port of the Province to withhold its tympani: and the o pools for aid in the hour of n . He was ad to see that sympathy had boon extende . and thought this was a case where he who gives ( uickly gives twice. Ho appealed to the rcvinoial pride of hon. gentlemen that the vote he unani- moss. Mr. Harcourt was also of opinion that in the pruent instance he who gives quickly gives twice. There should be no delay. a er. Caldwell advocated a policy of e oy. Mr. Balfour did not feel able to veto cleorl on the subject with the limited know edge he possessed. (Hear. hear.) Hr.

I venture to soy. judging of the more by the post. that if the French-Canadians were to become unitod and give the whole weight of their party to the Conservatives. not one word would we hour of this national cry. Everything is tending to a change of ofloirs ; a great po alien is going into the Territories. a must take these facts into view. when it is the proper time to deal with the quostlon; when we are prepared to give than a more extended form of local autonomy. When the time comes we must be prepared to deal with this question upon brood principles. with on eye to the wei- fare of the majority and the protection of the minority. Till then it is better to defer consideration of this question. and deal with more timely ones. There is this remarkable feature in the Bill: is is not founded upon the expression of will on the part of the Territories. it is a broad prin- ciple applying to the whole country. This is why 1 object to the Bill. I submit to all artist in this him to. French. English. iberult and (Jones ativu. that it ll best to defer the consideration of this matter till such a time as We are prepared to deal with other questions affecting the North- west Territories. Let all remember this. that no race in this country has the obn- lute right to invade the rights of the other race. After Mr. Laurier out down there were cries of "Question" from several members. Sir John Muodonald on rising was loudly applauded. He said: Mr. Speaker. I go a great way With my hon. friend in his re- marks referring to the principle of this bill. I sympathize with his natural indignation at the language which has been used in supp-Woof this measure before the House. I bust .o accord with the desire expressed in some quarters that by any mode what. I B one lsnghoge and make it inferior to the other. I believe it would be impossible to do sc.aud foolish and wicked if it were possible. In 1844 the Government here under Sir Charles Motoalfo had a Conserve. tive majority. and with the exception of four the French-(Sonodians were in the Opposition.

I am so convinced there is no error more fatal than the notion that correct belief or church membership is of on value whatever. in comparison with that righteousness of life which is the be-all and end-all of true religion, that I say plainly-and if I could find words to say it yet more plainly.
