ONTARIO LEGISLATURE. Mr; Boss introduced his Bill to amend the ,de't respecting the fees of certain public officers, which was read a first time, ?dr. Gibson Introduced a Bili concern- ing increased representation in certain cities, and in doing so spoke in part as follows; The changes to be made will be very few ant will be con- fined to the throe cities of Torog- to, Hamilton. and Ottawa. Tho Rouse will be prepared to see additional repre- sentation given to Toronto, as was promised last session, and the Bill ac- cordingly provides ler a 'division of the city into our constituencies, to be call- ed. respectively East Toronto, West To- ronto, North Toronto and South Toron- to. The boundaries of the divisions will be as follows ; East Toronto will consist of Ward 1 and that part of 'Ward 2 lying south of the centre line of Carl- ton street and east of the centre line of Shorbourne street. North Toronto will consist of that part of the city lying north of the centro line of College and Carlton streets, which are almost in a straight line, and will be bounded on the east by the centre line of Sumach street, and on the west by the centre. lino of. Palmerston avenue. 'South To- ronto will comprise those parts of Wards 2, 8, 4 and 5 lying south of the centre line. of Carlton and College streets, bounded on the east by the centre line of Shorbourne street, and on the west by the centre of Tecumseth street pro- duced to the bay, and by Palmereton avenue, or in other words, South Toron- to will lie immediately to the eouth of North Toronto. West Toronto will bo shade up of that part of the city lying west of Palmerston avenue and Teeum- aeth street, produced southerly to the lake, being the remainder of the city not included in the previous divisions. It has been the aim of the Government to divide the city as equally as possi- ble, and the form which will be taken by the lour constituencies will be a very slight deviation . from that of four equal rectangular divisions. Of these divisions at the present time the south has somewhat the largest vote, but it will not increase to any extent, while the.east division will inerease with the extension of the city in its direction, and so will the other two divisions. The inequality between 'the south di- vision and the other three may reason- ably be expected to be overcome in a very short time. The voting populations of the four -dives}ons are esti- mated as follows: East, 7,686; North, 7,611; West, 8,722, and South 10,- 666. Several years ago, when the population of Hamilton was considera- bly less than at present, by reason partly of the fact that adjacent territory has since been taken in, I urged that in- creased representation should be given to that city, and I believe that any friends on the other side of the House agreed with me in the matter. This increase has been asked for a good many years, and it is now proposed that there should be two representatives for Ham- ilton. For this purpose the city will bedivided into two constituencies, name- ly, East and ,West Hamilton, and the division will be by a straight line run down the centre lino of 'Hughson street from the bay to the mountain. This di- vision will leave the business part of the city about equally divided as to popu- lation between the two constituencies. In this division Wards' 3, 4, and 5 will remain intact in the Western division, and a part of Ward 2 will also be in- cluded. The balance of Ward 2, and Wards 1, 6, and 7 will comprise East Hamilton. I am satisfied that this di- vision will commend itself to all as beil'ig a fair one, and by no other method could the city have been divided without dividing two wards, while by this means only one ward is divided. The city of Hamiltonis undoubtedly by this time entitled to increased repre- sentation. At the last census its popu- lation was placed at 48,980. The only other change in the Bill is in Ottawa, which it is proposed should in Suture have two members. The constituency will, however, include two incorporated villages and one unincorporated village lying near the city. One of these is Ot- tawa East, which has a population of 714. Another is Hintonburg, with a population of 800, and the third is the unincorporated village of Mechanicsville, all of which will be taken into the city constituencies. Mr. Meredith—What do you make the population of Ottawa, adding the new parts ? Mr. Gibson—The population of the eity proper is 44,154, and with these villages, you add 2,014, making in all 46,168. You will see that the increased repre- sentation is justified by the increased population, and that on this basis Ot- tawa is entitled to one additional mem- ber. I am sure that the statement I have made will give satisfaction to hon. gentlemen opposite, and that the Gov- ernment are to be congratulated on hav- ing brought down a Bill that cannot be said to savor in any way of an endeavor or desire to take anything like a poli- tical advantage. Mr. Meredith said that as it was hot according to the custom of the House to discuss the provisions of a bill on its first reading, he hoped that an examin- ation of the figures would bear out the statements of the hon. Provincial Sec- retary. He could not, however, con- gratulate the Government on having at last brought in this Bill after having for nine years after a motion intro- duced in this House by Mr. Alexander Morris persisted in a system of minority, representation, which had enabled thorn by undue advantage to return a member for this city. He also objected to the fact that this measure would result in adding three more members to the num- ber already in the House. Thee Bill took three sections out of the County of Carleton and added them to Ottawa, and though he did not wish to be suepi picious, he was not satisfied that when they came to look into the measure they would not find that this had been dons with a very distant idea containing a political advantage; He did not, how- ever, desire togo into the subject at any length at present. Sir Oliver Mowat replied briefly, saying that t e charge made by, the hon . leader of the Opposition that the Gov- ernment had upheld minority represen- tation in order tokeepone Toronto seat non WWI groundless. With he large major- ity which the Government had in the House there was no need for it to take any Ouch steps for the purpose of ob- taining an additional supporter. If on that one member had depended their majority, there might be some ground for such a charge. There were other ways by, which the matter M increased o ere tation for these three eitie r pr n a might have been arranged by which an increase in the number of members might have been avoided, but the method set forth in the Bill had been decided upon ad the fairest open to thein. la moving the Second reading of his Bill relating to mines and mining lands, ' Mr. .Heard, spoke at some length on the rapid developnient of the mining induetri' up to 1891 and its decline since that date. He gave figures regard- ing the sale of twining lands from 1887• to 1891, In the latter year 415,000 acres of laud were solo, for which the Govern- ment received $89,000, and 41,900 acres leased for $5,271. While mining oporar tions for silver, copper, iota the other baser metals had decreased, gold mining was making rapid strides, and several mines were being worked successfully. The principal clauses in the Bill, pro- viding that for the rlext 'five years land sold or leaned for mining purposes should be exempt from all royalties, and that the price per acre bo reduced, he con- sidered constituted a refol m well worthy of a trial. Mr. Meredith,' did not think that the exemptiong from royalties and the re- duction in the price of land would do much to develop the mining industry in Ontario. Nothing would pay the Gov- ernment bettor than to expend time and money in investigating, developing and fostering the mining industry, as had been the case in other lines, notably agriculture. Tho Bill passed its second reading. The House took up routine work and passed several Bills through committee and through their third readings. ,Mr. Gibson moved that various hos- pitals be granted Government aid. After a somewhat lengthy discussion the motion was allowed to stand. In moving the secong reading of••lie Bill to secure the prompt punishment of persons guilty of personation at elec- tions for the Legislative assembly, The Bili passed its second reading. Mr. Harcourt, in moving the second reading of hie Bill respecting the law of libel, paid a compliment to the press of Ontario, which he said very seldom trespassed in this respect. Mr. Gibson said that in the past when a person was detected in the act of im- personating, the facilities for his pun- ishment were so imperfect that he almost always escaped. The Bill, the powers of which were confined to Lon- don, Hamilton and Toronto, provided for the immediate detention of a person suspected of impersonation, even before information had been sworn against him the deputy returning officers to have the power to swear in special constables and order the arrest of suspected im- personators. Mr. Meredith said that the Biil would receive the support of the Opposition, but he did not see why its power could not be extended to the whole of On- tario. Mr. O'Connor made a strong attack on newspapers which published anonymous correspondence. Ile thought the power of the press was greatly abused. He was strongly opposed to the clause in the proposed Bill which provides that no one can bring an action for libel against a paper unless a. guarantee for the costs is first given. This was class legislation with a vengeance. Mr. Balfour defended the press of On- tario; which, he said; was as pure and honest as the press of any country in the world. He hoped the Bill would pass. Mr. Clancy concurred with the views expressed by Mr. O'Connor. The Bill was read a second time on a division, the yeas being 45 and the nays 21. Mr. Wood moved for a .return showing the persons employed in each registra- tion division for the last three years, giving names and data of engagement, length of time employed, character of service and the amount paid to each person so employed. He said he had re- ceived a great many letters complain- ing of the unsatisfactory manner mf doing business in registry offices. He stated that the registrar of Northum- berland had paid himself $500 for his own work overtime, and that the said registrar did not do the amount, di work. credited to him. Mr. Gibson thought that the informa- tion called for in the motion was useful, 4and of interest to the public. He thought that the Government would allow it to go. Mr. Hardy read a letter from the registrar, in which the latter denied a former statement of the same nature as the one made by Mr. Wood, The writer contended that even on statu- tory holidays he had attended to press- ing office business, and that he did more than one man's work. Mr. Meredith thought the return should go further than was contemplated by the motion. After a short discussion with the hon. Provincial Secretary, it was decided to adjourn the debate on the motion. The House then took up routine . work on private bills and Government orders, which occupied most of the balance of the afternoon. In moving the second reading of ,his Bill to amend the Game Protection Act, Mr. Gibson stated that when the Bill reached the committee stage he would propose an amendment extending the clone season for quail and wild turkey to October, 1897. Members on both sides of the House opposed this, and other propositions in the Bill, which, however, passed its second reading without amendment.

Spender Nowell, in Canadian Mal;aline.) Our Union Jack dates back to 180 only, in its present appearance. Prior. to that time there were but two crosses —the broad, red cross of at, George with the white edgge,and the white, sal- tire dross of St, Andrew on the blue field; to these were added the narrow, red cross of St. Patrick, at the time 91 the union with Ireland. The name of "Union Jack" has been said to owe its derivation to James, 1. (k'r. Jacque) of England and VI. of Scot-. land; but as the real union of tbeee countries did not take place until 1707, the story may well be doubted, though this double-cross banner was constitut- ed the national flag of Great Britain by a royal proclamation dated Jaly 281h,. of the same year—just 82 years after " the British Solomon," James, by the grace of God, was laid to rest in the cool shades of Westminster Abbey. A much more plausible reason for the name is thatit is derived ,fromthe jacque, or eureoat, worn by soldiers in olden times—notably during the were of the Crusades. The jacque (jacket) had on the breast and on the back a large colored cross, so that those of the same division . of the army might , recognize each other. "The army " (crusader) from France wore a red . cross ; those from beyond the Rhine wore yellow. 'rho cross of the Flemings (Netherlands) were green ; while those worn on the sur - coats of the English were white ; but all the Crusaders displayed a small red crose, of woollen fabric, on the right shoulder. At- a later period it appears that the gross of St. George was recog- nized as emblematic of England,and the crosses of 'St. Andrew and St. Patrick as pertaining to Scotland and to Ire- land respectively. Now; in these days, it was customary to place a jacque above the bowsprit of a ship,so that vessels approaching each other might see the distinguishing badge; and on ships belonging to the fleets of the British Isles, the three crosses, together, form- ing the jacques-unit or " Union Jack." To this day . the little pole above the bows of a British man-of-war is called the " Jack -staff. • True, we have a flag ; but who can describe it ? Only those 'versed in the proper language of heraldry. Until the Canadian .Aimanae of the present year was issued it was doubtful if one person. in a thousand could tell what was our Canadian national flag; and, to -day, who can tell the meaning of its compli- cated device, even when they see it ? Why ? Because the arms of the Domin- ion (or, rather, of four of the Provinces). are a too intrieate "design" to be re- membered. It is not in reason to sup- pose that a mixed medley, a dazzling splash of color, should be expected to ap- peal to the national sentiment of the masses ; and there is no reason why the " arms " should occupy the place of a simple, appropriate emblem, which would be known and recognized by the Cana- dian people from the Atlantic to the Pacific. Does Ontario, Quebec, Nova Scotia and New Brunswick, alone com- pose our Dominion ? Have not the Pro- vinces of Manitoba, Prince Edward Is- land and British Columbia (and the Northwest Territory) the same right to be represented on the flag by tlheir Pro- vincial arms also ? Some may affirm that the arms of five Provinces are to be seen on the . flag, and—in many cases—seven are placed there ; yet the authorities recognize only the four men- tioned. The arms of Canada, as an escutcheon, are in their proper plaee ; although, in deference .to heraldic requirements it would be better.to have eight Provinces or territories represented than the odd seven, but they should not be on the flag. It can not be doubted that if this multi - our ensign, and in place of it the authori- from cognizance were eliminated from ties would adopt some neat, appropriate symbol—as, for instance, the maple leaf and beaver, or a wreath of maple leaves —the Government would be congratulat- ed onits good sense, and Canadians would rejoice at the change. Thus we should have an emblem worthy of our country, a truly representative • device, on the grandest flag that ever waved over a free and enlightened people—the British ensign 1 There 10 no more pros- perous Country on the face of the earth, to -day, than our own, and the events of the past year have proved that we are equalled by few in point of financial in- tegrity, and excelled by none in the spirit of national progress. Nevertheless, we might take a lesson from our sister colony, Australia, in the matter of a elenotative badge on the ensign of the 'empire. In the colony of Victoria, it is a /constellation of five stars (the Southern Cross) ; in New 'South Wales, it is a red cross, on which are four stars, lion in the centre ; in Queensland, it is a blue Maltese cross, crown in the centre ; Western,Australia hue a black swan on a yellow disc,—all on the fly of the Brit- ish ensign. These are simple and appro- priate emblems, and when the colonies are federated, it is not likely that Aus- tralians will place a menagerie on their new flag. A FEAT IN BEGGING. A man named Bailey, who was de- scribed at Lambeth. Police Court as " a most plausible beggar," was given seven days' hard labor for soliciting alms from the public. His zeal for col- leetiug money in this way was in no way dampened by his apprehension, for a, police officer , remarked to the magis- trate : " While waiting to come before the court this morning he collected 3 shillings from his fellow -prisoners "— doubtless a feat unparalleled amongst the begging -fraternity.

After three days of indescribable orgies, .in which women often participated dressed like men and .,.rmed like warriors, • the victim was oound to a stake in the midst of the forest, and left there all night alone ; in the morning the people returnee, with a great _noise of bells and gongs, singing and shouting ; when the multitude had become well intoxicated with the uproar and greatly excited by disorderly dances, the grand priest would command silence and recite a long prayer, and would then slay the victim, usually with a single stroke of the knife The multitude, which had been waiting for that moment, rushed upon the quarry with piercing cries, each ono trying to tear off a piece of the palpitating flesh, to hack the body to -pieces. A eriminal ceremony exists among the tribes of the interior of Sumatra, which is without doubt the survival of an ancient and very cruel custom, that has passed in the course of tune into a civil and religious duty. These people, al- though of rather gentle disposition, piously and ceremoniously kill and eat their aged parents, in the belief that they are performing a sacred duty. At the appointed day the old man who is destined to be eaten goes up into a tree, at the foot of which are gathered the relatives and friends of the family. They strike the trunk of the tree in cadence and sing a funeral hymn. Then the old man descends, his nearest rela- tives deliberately kill him, and the at- tendants eat him. With some peoples animals take the place of human victims ; but what we have said is sufficient to show that even with these people collective crime was formerly a solemn ceremony, although individual crime was already regarded as something to be condemned.—M.
