AS, W/LLIS, Yard: East side Press Gallery, Parliament Buildings, March 19th. A series of triumphs is the only way in which proceedings at the Ontario Legislature for the last week can be described. A series of triumphs for the Opposition which to be properly described Would take- More than the entire edition of this paper. It has been the same since the House opened, it has been the same since the general elections and to these long list of vic- tories there is no turning until victory is complete. I would that I could pic- ture to the readers of this paper real colors the scene at the Ontario Legis- lature as one who 'understands affairs sees it on an afternoon or evening of an important day of the session. On one side of the speaker there is a party which is led by a combination of party ehiefs in whom the members have DO confidence and between whom is DO harmony. • The members of that party are dissatisfied and make DO secret of their dissatisfaction. On the other side there is an compact, united, har- monious party of energetic and able men who are devoted to their leader, loyal to their constituents and faithful to their country. I refer to the differ- ence in the attitude of the two parties in the House to explain the long series of triumphs Which I have in weeks passed recorded and shall now record. But to break up the regular order of victories hpurpose to separate a few , from the regular procession of success- es and deal for a•time or two with each of them. I shall mention the affadavit read concerning West Elgin, the re- port of the Judges in the \Vest Huron election, the success of the Opposition in the question of au agricultural com- mittee and a consultive Board for the °Minister of Education, the strong speech of the Leader of the Opposition at the close of the debate and the weak speenh.of the Attorney General in de- fence of the outrages in West Elgin. • It seemed some tune ago that noth- ing could make that West Elgin elec- tion darker than it had already been shown but an affacfavit was read in the House last week °from a man named Vail who said that he had been hired by TQM Lewis to personate Conserva- tive voters in the West Elgin elections. Besides himself there were seven oth- ers who acted in the same capacity. He himself voted twice though he had no right to vote at all and another member of the patty put in five and the others in the same ratio. Is it any wonder now that independent voters and honest Liberals refuse to vote for candida tes who endorse such actions, support a governincInt whiela will block justice and shield criminals, who have perpetrated such outrages. • Let not this fact be forgotten. The West El- gin bye -election was the most corrupt ever known in the history of modern elections. It was one mass. of coerup- tion and dishonesty. The members of the Government are responsible as they profited by the dishonesty and not only shielded but rewarded the of- fenders. In the report of time Judges in the West Huron election case which was presented during the week this much need be remembered. The court confirmed the fact that outrage' s of the most disgra.cefid kind were perpetrat- ed and one of the guilty agents was "Cap" Sulliva.n, one of the same ma- chine which took part in the election in South Ontario, North Waterloo and West Elgin. This same Sullivan has been receiving money for years from the Province of Ontario as a public of- fieBiauLt probably the greatest triumph during the week was when the Opposi- tion,lead by Mr. Little, a clever young Lieutenant in the ranks of the Opposi- tion, forced the Government to aur - render OD the questien of an agricult- ural classes in Ontario. One year ago a member of the party brought in a rnotion asking that it commission be appointed to look after the interests and enquire into the needs of agricul- ture and colonization. But one year ago the government with its "solid" majority saw mistakes in the scheme, solely of course because it was intro- duced by a member of the Opposition and accordingly they voted it down. But they dare not do it again and the resolution once rejected went through the House with an opposing vote,every member of the Government voting for it. Thus did the Opposition show its friendship for the farmer as it has of- ten done before. All that is really good in the system of agriculture was first proposed by the Opposition. So with the matter of education. Years og,o Mr. Whitney made the very important suggestion that to assist the Minister of Education there should be a consultative Board. During the pres- ent week the Minister of Education af- ter condemning the suggestion for years has eventually adopted it. But the whole system ot Education is wrong as the results very plainly show, The report of the Bureau of Industries which was presented. to the House by the Government during the week shows that the province increas- ed in population during. the year 1899 by 8700 and that during that same year the school attendance fell off by 7,500. Here is a consise, unprejudiced, mute and conclusive condemnation of the School System, of the Ontario Gov- ernment. Mr, 'Whitney's school policy is clear, plain and thorough. Methods must be altered. The public schocil must be altered to. suit the students whobegins and end S his education there. Unless examinations must be curtailed. School books must be changed less Ire. quently and be less costly. The High School must not be a factory fon mak'. ing teachers alone. lableeLteNevRte eoulssis Mtratil;' eetaar.°-•g°alsagn4otenpedraof M'n1311.1its.eedWd f fraheiirnilfeite: ToronE6 'University. Now he says that he inky 'glye something, lout plainly states that he will starve it. Mr. Whit - Tracy made no prolnise but comes out in the House and advocates assistanee math se, and of snch a kind that the alumni of the University come to him and give thanks for his noble words. A word on the close of the debate. The Atterne.y-General advocates the principle which was exploded years ago that the department had no re- sponsibility over minor officials and that an Attorney -General's depart- ment could not make a move. There is more red tape about the Attorney - General's department than about a dozen war offices and all of is might be robbed, swindled and murdered be- fore it would make a move. If those offenders in the bye -elections had been Conservatives how quickly the depart- ment would have movecl. Mr. Whitney closed the debate which was more distinctly opposition in ef- fect than any in the House since time began. • During the discussion on Mr. Little's motion to have an agricultural com- mittee established in the House which would deal with farming and coloniza- tion questions, Hou. E. J. Davis, Minister of Crown Lands made the statement that Ontario treated, her settlers better than any country in the world. He didn't get away with the statement, however, for Mr. Henry Either, the South Huron representa- tive, told Mr. Davis a few things about that gentleman's department that he didn't knOw before. Mr. Eilber told " the House of a man in the township of McConkey in Parry Sound. This man had lived in the department for no less than sixteen years. He wanted a. coup- le of lots to start his son farming, so' like a naan of sense he applied to the Crown Lands Depcurtmeut, telling- thein the lots he wanted. The man was sur- prised at the reply be received. Evi- dently the Department knew no moee about ArcOonkey than that it was a township somewhere in Parry Sound, instead of a well settled township with a $1,000 school house and an $800 church. The Deputy Commissioner wrote to the man saying, that before anything eould be done with the ap- plication it would be necessary to cola- municade with the timber license. In • this letter the Deputy Commissioner ' says "If homvever, as you say, all the pine in thatepart of the township has been cut away I will bring this to"the ' notice of the lumbermen and endeavor to get their concent to „you being al- lowed to take up these lots." Such cringing to the lintibermeo was strongly denounced by Mr. Either and the leader of the Opposition, 111r.Whit- • ney. A second letter was sent to the settler, Mr. Eilber said. This commun- ication stated that the Ontario Lumber Co.had objected to the location of these lots and Mr. Frank Halliday, of Parry Sound, had. been histructedto make an independent inspection. Meanwhile the man who wanted to trike up the land has to wait, although he wanted to start work on it in spring. Arainiportant point is the Depart- ment's lack of knowledge of its re- sburces. The pine in the township in question had been taken off fully two years before the application of the McClonkey man. Not only that but the spruce and other timber, which should rightfully go to the settler, had also been cut. All this and more Mr. Either told the Legislature. He made it so -warm for Hon. E. J. Davis that the Crown Lands minister had to ask time to look up' the recoeds, which with the usual speed of the Department might be clone in a month or two. And after all this Ontario treats her settlers better than any country in the world THE. POULTRY DOCTOR. If you are interested in Poultry, by all means send 25 cents in Postage Stamps to the Associated Fanciers, 409 N. 3rd' St., Philadelphia, Penna., for their new book, on the diseases . of poultry. Although comparatively small, it is so concise, terse and lucid as to be of great value to the fancier and the breeder of poultry. It shows how to manage and rear fowls, how to detect their different ailments, and how to treat them by either allopathic or hornceopathic remedies. It is from the pen of Mr. John E. Diehl, the well known American Poultry Association Judge, one of the highest authorities on poultry. BIRTHS. REILLY.—In Stephen, S. B., on March 18, the wife of Wm. G.
