I Tright remind the House that at the time of the occurrence, when the resignation sof the late Minister of Public Works was announced to the House, the House was notified that another inister had r taken charge of the Departure Public Works in consequence of the resignation of our late colleague. - I was somewhat surprised at. a subsequent stage, two or three weeks after - war -ds, at a question being put- across - the floorf the House as to the position occlpied by the late Minister, oeeause it indicated niisappreheneioii -on the subject of the position of the hon. member for three Rivers (Sir Hector -Lan- gevin), which was not anticipated at the a fA ,d A I n�f +� , �' •P•P 1, . But a day or two ago the question was asked in the Senate, and the hon. gentleman himself feels that any am- biguity on the subject thas,.may exist in the public mind and in the minds of members of Parliament should no longer exist. He therefore addressed the following letter on the hatter to the Prime Minister : OrrAwA, 7th Sept., 1891. MY DEAR, PRIME. MINIS'rER,-I see that at the last meeting of the Senate a question was put to you by one of the Senators to kno whether my resignation as Minister of Public .Works has been accepted. This question com- in.l;after a similar one in the House of Parlia- ment makes icep receive that there is somemis- undorstanding abotl my position, and in order to put an end to it wish as intended by me to .ask you that my ihnation may be accepted without delay.

The Prime Minister has written to Sir Hector Langeyin_ as follows : - PRIVY COUNCIL OFFICE, OTTAWA, 7th Sept. 1891. DEAR SIR HECTOR LANGEVIN,—I have to acknowledge your letter of this morning re- questing. o-questing that your resignation may be -accepted without further delay, and to say that in ac- cordance with your wish I shall regard your resignation as final, and shall lay it before His Excellency immediately.

Mr. Cameron (Huron) criticised the clause providing the form of oath to be taken by the deputy returning officer, poll clerk, or agent before voting. The bill propoaed'that the officer should swear that "I am actually entitled to vote for a member of- the House of Commons for this electoral district at the present election." He (-Mr-. Cameron) con- tended that the oath should be as he had framed it- in his bill, which was the founda- tion of ',cations of the bill wide"- considera- tion.

Sir John Thompson rep? ed th t tie korm 'fir diY'ee • Mr. Laurier said -Mr. Speaker, the state- ment just made by the Minister of Justice shows that after all there was some reason for the anxiety which was manifested in the public mind as to the position occupied by the present member for Three River (Sir Hector Langevin). Some time ago the Minister of Justi ated in answer to a question put by my. cif that the resignation of the hon. gentle an might not be ac- cepted. In point of law it may be so, be- cause no one is compelled to serve unless he is willing, to do so. The moment his resig- nation was tendered, and the Prime Minis- ter did not insist on it being taken -back, from that moment it was accepted. - Now, however, the position has been made clear, and we understand that from the time the hon. gentleman placed his resignation in the hands of the Prime Minister he ceased to be. an adviser of His Excellency. Mr. Foster, in reply to Mr. Rinfret, who asked the question for Mr. Amyot, said that the subsidies paid to the Baia des Chaleurs Railway Co. up to the present amounted to $524,175. Sir John Thompson, in reply to Mr. Delisle, said that the reasons which justified the appointment of judges were not satis- factory expressed in the question as to whether the position of judge is conferred on members of the legal profession as a reward for political services, or as a crown- ing of their success in their professional ;career.. In answer to the second question, as to how it happens that since 1878 no judge has been selected in the Province of Quebec from amongst the advocates belong- ing to the Liberal party, he said that the question was not prej erly before the Rouse, because it assumed a fact. , of which the Government had no. knowledge. The ad- ministration of justice was entrusted to men of both political parties. Mr. Edgar asked Sir John Thompson if the revising officers had been informed of the extension of time for putting in their declarations. He had information that in Muskoka the revising officer closed the pre- liminary lists and had them printed on August let and had gone onto hold his final courts. He supposed that most people were understood to know what the law as passed was, but the Government should have taken every step to advise the revising officers. Sir John Thompson said the revising offi- cers had always been commanicated with by the Secretary of State, under whose charge they were. - Mr. Chapleau had told him that the revising officers were notified by telegraph on the evening of the day., the law extendi_ ng the time was passed. Sir John Thompson said the committee were about to deliberate on their report, and. in the. meantime the evidence was being.. revised before being distributed. Sir John Thompson moved the House into committee on the bill to further amend the Dominion Elections Act. Section 2 -was so amended as toprovidethat a petitions against the return of a candidate must be filed within -forty .days.after-thepolling days.. instead of thirty days after the declaration of the result of the polling.

AMER RECESS.' DO YOU J *OOD One of the Forms of Insanity That Afflict the litaace. Melancholia,, says a medical authority, is a grave disease, especially because of its strange and terrible tendency to induce suicide and homicide. As the patient's. reasoning processes seem to be perfectly clear, friends are seldom sufficiently on their guard. The danger is always present, how- ever, nor is the highest degree of intelli- gence 'or of moral worth any - safeguard- against it. The- Newt York Mediml J.ouxnal- -has- ..a... report of a lecture on the importance' of recognizing melancholia in its earlier stage by Dr. Burnet, lecturer in the Kansas City Medical College, of which report we make fres :zac. ” There �^ marked difference between sadness and melancholia," says Dr. Barnett.

The first important sympton of simple melancholia - is sleeplessness. Another sympton, of the greatest importance, is a dull pain in the back of the neck, extending to the back of the head. It is only within a few years that this symptom has been recognized. The third sympton is depression of spirits, accompanied by slower mental movements and retarded speech and actions. When the first and the last symptons are connected with pain in the neck the diagnosis may be considered as conclusive. In melancholia agitate these three symp- toms are very marked, but it is not so diifi< cult to diagnose the disease, since the agita- tion is of itself a strong indication. These_. are generally terrifying; hallucinations, an utter indifference to ones self and one's sur- roundings, aversion to food and inability to. sleep, except under the influence of drugs. The -propensity to take life may come on suddenly, or be gradually developed. It is not uncommon to see melancholiacs whose morbid tendencies are /first brought on by some suggestion. - Every case of melancholia should at an early date be put into the hauds of a com- petent physician, who can have the entire control of it. cent. Mr. Costian said it was the duty of his department Ito see that the law was carried out, and he proposed to see that it was carried out. Mr. Somerville said that he had informa- tion that a sale of public property near Billing's bridge, Ottawa, was made to a brother of Mr. Wallace. member for West York, by .private arrangement, and not public auction. If it was a fact that a valu- able strip of land was sold to complete the piece of land Mr.. Wallace had there, the the committee Was entitled to some infor- mation as to the price paid for the land, and the reason why the Government had de- parted from the ordinary course of putting ordnance land up to auction. M. Dewdney said that the law provided that land should. be Bold by public, auction except in :eases where long. leases `existed, in which the lessee, was given an Opportunity of purchasing.'' No unusual churse' was pursued in regard to the sale 'al land to Mr. Wallace's brother. This land in ques- tion was a small strip 100 feet in width at one end and running to a point in front of the land purchased by Mr. Wallace from Mr.,Williams, who had previously held the lease of the strip. The land was sold to Mr Wallace under the usual conditions. He did not think that there was more than an acre in the strip. Mr. McMullen said that $175 foil this pro- perty, which was within a stone's throw of the electric railway, was too little. The transaction, unless satisfactorily explained, appeared suspicious. Mr. Dewdney said the price wasconsid-- ered a very fair one. Mr. Wallace said Williaiiis, the original holder of this land, ware offered it at one- quarter what was actually paid for it, and refused it. Instead of buying the' land he assigned"»tliee lease to the purchaser and present owner. The land was 40 of 50 feet wide at one end and ran to a point.- It was not worth a dollar to the Government The value was fixed at about four times as much as the original holder was asked, and that price Was paid. The purchaser paid at the rate of about $125 per acre. Mr. McMullen criticised the expenditures On account of Dominion lands, which, he said, were not warranted by -the revenue derived. Last year the expenditure was $445,521, while the receipts from all sources were $462,.302. The balance to the good of $16,800 was, not sufficient. I4r.
