Tne House went into committee on the
motion of the Att'y•General to re=consider
a bill relating to the jurisdiction of Courts
of General Sessions of the Peace. The bill
was. carried.
Mr. Mowat moved that the House go
into Committee of Supply. Der. Meredith
objected on the inderstanding that the, d
continued to -day. He thought the Govern-
ment monopolized too many days, and
wished the motion • to etand till Govern-
ment day. The motion was carried, and
;tho.House went into Committee of Sup-
ply, Mr. Harcourt in the chair.
The first - subject coming up was Public
Institutions. The estimate for the Insane
Asylum of Toronto coming on, Mr. Rose
gave• an explanation of the estimate of
$24,482 for the Mimico branch, $5,534 over
lest year, showing that this being a branch
of the Toronto Asylum had been largely
enoreaeed-in-accommodation. •
Mr. Creighton aeked how it was that
$7,500 was asked for batter' in the London
Asylum, while only $4,000 was asked for
the Toronto Asylum.
Mr. Ross said that butter was much
dearer in London and the asylum was
larger.
The Central Prison, Toronto,estimates
were reached.
Mr. Meredith contended that this ineti-
tntiorLshonld 'not--be--maintained at the
expense of the Province, but that the
Dominion should at least share half the
expense, as the prison was really a peni-
tentiary.
Mr. Mowat said he should be very glad if
the Provincecould be relieved • of part of
the expense, but he did not see that there
wee any legal question that could be raised
eh' noaI;
suet. `aba the•-deei'red-r.
Mr. Meredith thought the Dominion
Government might be induced to under-
take at least a share of ,the expense as the
prison was a reformatdry for all -praotical
purposes. The item was passed.
The proposed expenditure under the head
of Public Works was then dealt with, and
the various items passed with little criti-
cism, the hon Commissioner giving satis-
factory answers to 'the various questions.
The ea/sties under this head amounted to
$20,300.
Mr. Gibson Hamilton) presented- a

Using the ballot.
The following Bills were read a third
time :
Respecting the city of. Belleville -Mr.
Oatrom.
Respecting the Hamilton Patriotic Volun-
teer Fund -Mr. Gibson (Hamilton).
Mr. ,Wood (Hastings) moved the second
reading of a Bill to provide for the seoreoy
of the ballot at elections of members, of the
Legislative Assembly. The: only objection
that could be urged to the adoption of the
secret ballot was that in the base of ballot-
etuffieg the act could be traced. He
charged retnrning-efficient with betraying
their trust.
Mr. Awrey-Has the hon. gentleman
ever known a returning -officer to violate
hie.oeth ? •
Mr. Wood (Haetinge)-When I am in the
witnesa,box I will tell teat. (Derisive laugh-
ter by Government members.) '
Mr. Mowat said that the present law had
no evils. The member from Hastings con-
tended that the system in nets. was not
secret. He would say that the• .law could
not be more secret in its.nature. 'He could
find no agitation "against the present sys-
tem, or if any agitation evicted it was con-
fined to it very limited number. Under the
system propoeed by the member from
Rkstinge it was in the power 0f diehon'est,
men to turn the eleotion. Under the pre-
sent system each dishonesty meld be
traced. Extracts were quoted from
epeeohee of Sir John Macdonald on the
eubjeot, in whioh he said that justice to the
peoplowes of far more importance to the
people than seoreoy of the ballot. This was
what they were advocating. Sir John
Macdonald bad further • held it of the
greatest importance that provision should
be made against impersonation. He wished
the hon. Premier always made as sound
.observationp. He quoted extracts et length
from prominent magazines in support of
the syetern in nee. No injurious ei'feot had
followed the adoption, of a similar system
in England, Australia, l33otlaud ay many
other countries.
Mr. Mowat, resuming the debate on the
ballot question. quoted a couple of artiolee
from an English magazine, written by -two
distinguished men, Meeere. Dalby and
Askwitb, in which those gentlemen con-
tended that there were •no complaints in
Vngland excepting among the ignorant in
the rural districts, and that only in case of
a scrutiny the ballot -box could be forced to

g $e contended
that the only oases in which bribery was
pra;,tiaad wise through outside parties
oomingin. (Opposition applanah.)
It ws often stated that people
would do things "in elections im-
plying moral guilt whioh they would shrink
from in other connections of life. There
was every reaeon to, regard the Aot as it
stood as accomplishing -its pnrpoee. Ex-
perienoe in other lands had shown that it
had attained its purpose there. He would
farther make it the bnsineas of. county
attorneys to proceed in such oases of die-
na o, erecter. He moved that the bill of
hie hon. friend from North Haseinge be not
now read, but this -day six months.
Mr. CIarke (H. E.) stated that the Gov-
ernment were very fond of iretroduoing Sir
John A. Macdonald's name into their
speeches, but Sir John Macdonald, with hie
larger experience, had never asked for an
exohazlge from the, secret ballot of the.
Dominion to the open ballot of the Pro-
vince, and until he did the hon. member
did not think the Attorney -General could
fairly quote him as supporting him in the
peouiiarballot thea. we bad inthie Pro-
vince. It seemed to him that the Govern-
mapt could not truet the people, not even at
selection times. He oonld trust the people,
and for this reason would support the bill
of his bon friend from Hastings.
