Mr. Willdi leldt Who -had the floor, after regreting the -death of Mr. Heaney, congratulated Mrt;Cam'eron upon his elevation to the Boublt, Ile thought that' a Nether the elections were held' sooner or laterwait not a -natter for the Opposition to disquiet itself over.; While favorable to the roduction of the indemnity, out odeferetice to public opinion, he collar not vote for the amendment, as it'affisumed the forge of a want of c'+nfidenfce motion. Mr. Morrie said that be was desirous of addressing a few observations to the House. Mr. Fraser had made a per- sonal. referouce to hiiusell, He eur- gratulatecd bine upon beiug a member of this House, though he hinted that it was a stepping down from a position he formerly Held. He next referred to the diltatiou of the' .Moose, and after` listeuing to the arguments of Mr. Bethune, Ile came to the eonelusion, that eveu if he wad teohnivnlly correct, it was contrary to the s:tri:rit of the Act, its it prolonged the lite of the Parlia- utetht for four years and a half, whereas the Confederation Act nominated the duration of the Parlirameut at four years. He next tool* up the consider- ation of Senator Macpherson's pbarn- phlet. Mr. Mowat had said that the House had nothing to do with the pbamphlet, but iu this age of progress the influeuce of the Press could not be iguoied, whether it was exercised by the newspaper or the pamphlet. We could not sllu: eurselvee up in tide House and ignore the oil•.tieisms of those who gave consideration to our financial condition. Ile would not go into the figures in detail, but he asked the question whether it was not a fact that the expenses of the Province are steadily inorersing, while the revenue is practically at ei standetilt; and seeing, that so large a portion of our resources are derived from Crown -lands, which are constantly depreciating in valva, our revenue must decrease ; conse- quently the Government must be so economical as to avoid the burden of direct taxation. The Government does not deny the increase of expenditure, but says it is necessary, arising out of increased population ; but if this were so all the greater care should be taken to stop every leek. For instance, was it wise last year to speed $45,000 on 1 emmigration when the country was de- pressed and so many of our own people • out of work ? The Government says that the Opposition bad attacked only a few items of expenditure, and this did not matter,for whether the Opposi- tion found fault with a single item or every item the Government wa's equally responsible for every expenditure before the country. With regard to the surplus, he held that it was the duty of the Government to mature a plan for its disposal. This was esseutially the busiuess of the Government whom con- trols the House. Mr. Ross had stated that the present `surplus was only $8,000 less than during Sandfield Macdonald's time. In this he fell into the error of not ' crediting Mr. Mac- donald with the funds in the hands of theDnrninion Government. He thought that the surplus should be so utilized as to promote various enterprises, and create a reserve fund so as to prevent the necessity of resorting to direct taxation. The cry had been raised in country that the Conservative party desired to do away with this House. Ile denied that most emphatically. (Loud cheers.) . But the question was open to consideration whether it would not be desirable to reduce the number of representatives. It was also suggest- ed that the cumber of Cabinet Minis- ters be reduced to four. This,with the reduction of the indemnity to members, would !like a large annual saving. Ho dwelt briefly on the amendments, the first which desired economy, and the second showed haw this economy could be effected. In conclusion lie said ha would vote for the amendment because the country demands it, and because it was a practical step towards economy. (Load theers). ' ith'. Miller contended that our timber land would long be a source of revenue. The timber in the United States was being rapidly used tip, 'and then bur forty thousand square miles of timber lands would produce a large amount year by year, At six o'clock' the House adjourned until Monday. Toronto- tTan.20..aeThe Swealre took the chair at 15.10 o'clock, After r tine the debate on the address was res coed. M. Miller, who had the floor,, said that he had intended referring to the Macpherson pamphlet, lent that he felt so univel[ that he would have to post- pone his remarks until a later stage of the debate. Mr. Gibson referred briefly tot the several olausee of 'the address, and thought that on the whole the Gov;et`n- rnent deserved well of the country. Owing to oar not having coal and iron in close proximity, and owing to the scarcity of etapititl, we could never be- come a great Manufacturing country ; therefore, ,the Government -do well in develot ing our agricultural resources, With reference to the exemptions from taxation, be thought it was purely a city gnestion, and one . in which the ooun(,ry generally took no interest. ivlr. Calvin was received with loud applause. He approved 011ie expor- tation of cattle as a t„orreetive to the wholesale exportation of whead,exliaus. ting the soil. He thought the only question in the Government mind was bow to get the greatest numbers of supporters. He condemned theassess• went laws in the most vigorous language. There were exemptions on 1614,00--,000 of bank stook exonerated from taxes, and there was perhaps twiee that amount of bonds, &,o., exon- erated. The House then rose for recesa. After recess. Mr. Olivia resumed. He accused the Reformers of having indulged in unfair tactics,as was illustrated by their conduct in the Pacific Scandal. On the constitutional question of the duration of the House, he thought the Government were wrong. Mr. Hunter did riot think the discus- sions of the indemnity question would elevate the representative' in the eves of their constituents, he thought that the indemnity should be fixed by statute and removed out of (iter own discussion and jndzment. He had voted for the decrease of the indemnity to• $600, but he would not tallow himself to be caught by the clap -trap amendment before the Flnuie. He was favorable to wiping out the indeemiry entirely, and this world also wipe out a large number of aspirants for seats in this House. He wag opposed in loin to the reduction of the Ministers' salaries; even by 4100. anxious for their del y.. Mr. Brown said that be bad previous- ly voted for the jeduotiou of the indemnity to six hundred dollars, and will do it again. Dr, Wilson said be would not vote for the amendment,'ns he `regarded it as a vote of want of confidence. Mr. Ferrist thought the Macpherson pamphlet was only an electioneering speech, and was not--dentitled to much coIlditleratiOn, Mr. Satan said he,yould eQnfine his remarks to the indemnity question. Io the Dominion House the annual amount expended in the indemnity and Ministers' salaries was 1876,000, while in this Chamber it was only 1698,000, Mr. Tooley believed at the time he eigoed the "round robin" it was right, but he had learned public opiuiou, and in the aeccond session he had voted for the reduction of the indemnity, and he would vote in the same direction on the present occasion. Mr. I:tssevear said that when the Minister of Education, who seemed a very honest gentleman, had moved for a reduction of the indemnity, he had voted with him, and he would now call upon the hon. gentleman to act fuirl; and o nsistently,and join. him iu votiug f r the amendment. Mr. Lyon refused to' vote for non coufideuce in the (xe considered the action o violating the compact, e very dishonorable. Mr. Wigle i u dicated voting for the motion indemnity, as public , that course. After no siuu of any allusion in the Model Farm et Gu 1ph, which had been worked, he believ d, at a loss, he he redo tion. d vote with the Mr. Richardson having enngratuleted the mover and seconder of the address, objected to the exemption of taxahnn —a piece of legislation which pressed heaviest upon the poor man. He was in favor of taxing every one with a salaoy over $400 a year. He held that if it was right that iudemuity to mem- bers should be decreased, their Minis- ters' salaries should be reduced als+,. With reference to the surplus, if we have one, he thought that part of it might be given towards defraying the expenses of pupils of our Model Schools. Mr, Currie regarded the amendment as yjrtually condemning the Govern- ment of the day. He regretted that so much time had been wasted in discus- sing,:the question of indemnity. When the proper time came, if it was deemed desirable, he had no doubt the indem- nity would be decreased. M. O'Sullivan thought, nn the in- demnity question, he could give an impartial opinion. He was not in the House during the secret sessiou,but he world, nevertheless, swept his full share of the responsibility of the round robin. Since+ the increase of the indemnity public opinion had changed, and some ofthoee who longed for the continuance of the $800 will have to vote against • it to save their being kicked out. He read from Reform papers, which threw all the responsibil- ity of the round robin upon the Con• servatives. This was not so. For his own part lie had been apprnnohed by a- Goverurnent supporter: He bad some difficulty in making up his mind as to how he should vote on the amendment, because at first he thought it was carrying party warfare too far ; but upon giving the subject his full eon- sideration,he was foroed to the conelus• ion that the action taken by .rho members on this side of the House was perfectly legitimate. ' Toronto, Jan.21.--The Speaker took the chair at 8.10. After routine the debate on the ad- 'dress was resumed.

On the amendment Mr. Widdfieid moved in amendment that all the words after 'that" be struck out, and the following be substituted : " That we beg to assure your Honor that having regard to the efficiency and proper administration, of the public service this house will use ire best endeavose to keep the actual expenditure for provincial affairs within the re venue." The motion was carried on a divi-ion but there were no dicceiltients. Mr. Meredith said the Opposition had compelled the Goverumeut to affirm a propocitiou contended for by his side of the Hoose.

A Horrible Crime A murder trial has jest closed in Switzerland which has excited a con- siderable sensation, because of the enormity of the crime committed. 4 little more than two• months ago the body of it little girl, about 11 years olid, was found hanging in a shed near the railway station at Fribourg. The cane was a very mysterious one, and at first it was Ruppo'ed she bad committed suicide, but the unanimous opinion of medical experts was that the child had been strangled before being hanged, and that it was beyond doubt a case of murder. There was nothing about the, child that could lead to her identifica- tion, and no one could be found who - had Been her about the town before the crime was di4covered. Photographs of the chi'd were sent to every police station in Switzerland,and descriptions of her were published in all the papers. After a while, by the merest accident, suspicion rested on a woman named. Ruohat, living in the Canton Vend. It was proved that the child was hers, and it was supposed that she had killed leer• becanse, being illegitimate, she coneti- tnted an obstacle to her marriage. I1 came out further that she was aet,rniler harried to her present husband nt the very time when all Switzerland w(1.8 ringing with her crime. On being Ar- rested, the woman confessed her gnilt„ but her only motive for the crime, elle. stated, was to Rave expense of the 'child;R maintenance. To this end, she deliberately) ole the child from Berne. where Rhe was staying, strangled .her with a shoelace, and hanged her to it beam in the shod where she was forted.
