So with the Ministers. He did not
see that they had made any progress
whatever. He referred to what the
Attorney General had said about
money having been drawn from the
Treasury for which there was no ap-
psopriation. The first day the mem
bers of the Cabinet barely alluded to
the more serious charges of the
report. The second day the Minister
of Foreign Affairs does not think that
they have misappropriated public
funds. The third day the Attorney
General frankly admits that there
is no power under the sun whereby
money can be legally drawn from
the Treasury save the Legislative
Assembly and the Privy Council.

of public funds was not punishable
crime, or he would now be working
on theroads in two coloured suit of

the $1,000, leave it to the House
whether it goes down or not. What

audience has been amused at the
reference to turkeys in every speech.
Would it not be appropriate to call
this the turkey cabinet, as they have
shown such a desire to gobhle up
! public funds. If Mr.. Gibson had

, interests Of his son.in-law, we would
