Her Ex- cellency the Princess Louise witnessed the oremony. Dr. Blanohet, of Levis, was elected Speaker without opposition. Mr. Alackenzie world have proferred Mr. A'tgtin, not because of any epcciti! 'lapis' ca'Ion4 possessed by that gentle - main but because the British practice was t0 ,etuiu the same Speaker, not- withsraudiug chnnge'l of Government. however, the ex -Premier WAS kind cn.>ug11 not to insist Cu Sir John adopt lug tine custom, and the Government we e ills tl: ubt devoutly thankful and breathed mere freely after their escape. The Speech frenl the Throve will be faund in another column. Unlike the Address delivered at the oneuing of the Ontario Legislature,it will bear a careful perusal. A broad, enli;iltened, vigor- ous and progressive policy is fore::had- oxed, which will cause the pulse of the. countly to beat with renewed life, in- fuse flesh vigor into our struggling industries, cause activity to dethrone languor, slope to strangledevpair, strength to overcame weakness, and lift the black chilli of'depression which bee overehad loved the Dominion, to let in the morning sunbeams of returuin prosperity. That groat national un- dertaking, the Pacific Railway, of whish. the Mackenzie .dlniui.,tration displayed such lauientaole lack of practical know - lo ige anti the grossest negligence, and upon wh1Oh millions of dollars have bean criminally wasted, is to be vigor- ously pushed forward to completion without delay. This activity will be in marked and pleasing contrast to the faithless, shifting, do-nothing policy ilureiued with reference to this grand scheme by the late Geverumeut, who a'uu•st (hove the British Columbiana to It rupture of the Union by their iliac - lion, faithlessness and tergiversation. It is to be hoped that the uew condition e,€ thi gs will restore that feeling of t;tlufiieuce between the disaffected Pro - voice and the Government wwliuh is en necessary to the harmonious w'urkl,g of oar scheme of Federation. In other important matters pertain- ing to the increasiug prosperity of the Dutuiuiou, it is gratifying to find that. the new Government have not allnwe 1 the comparatively short time since their retnru to power t0 Maes nation proved, They nave entered iuto ar• raugemeuts .o promote trade with MeV- feral ooniitlies with which we have las yet a very limited intercourse, and to expand that which already f'xiets with other nations. We can, therefore, look forward with oonfidel,ce to the prospe e,1 ef the Dominion regaining the pruu,a ltottiti„u site 0000 held, under. Sit John 1lacdonaltl's guiding hand, among tilt commercial nations of the world. But the parltt•:raph in the Speech ilius' eagerly looked fur and most keen• ly criticised, is that r'efet ring to the National Policy which is soon to be uefdlllcd, From Some strange cause, which might be acconnled for on the hypotheeis that warty prejudice destreye the mental e•lnilibrintn of the avorttgel lefurtnor as we Kee 11i1n in these drge, -, orate days, many people who ought to know better, itave.boetl talking as it they expected Iliat• the full details of the National Policy scllenle would It,•pear in the Sneed 1 f nln the Throne. Tile Opposition er,si, a}'.tii t Lir regard f r flux dealing and honor, have easiduons- ly striven to give calor to this delusion, in order that the people Inight the more easily be incited to discontent when they found their expectations were not realized. And in many in- stances they have succeeded, for time and again have we been told by elle• mies of the N. P. that 18th of Febru- ary would dieoose the scheme in all its, beauty and perfection to the admiring gaze of e. grateful people. A moment's considerationwould have shown the folly of such utterances. The Speech flora the Throne is supposed merely to five a general idea of tlre.nature 01 the legislation to be aecotnpliethed during the session. It gives an indefinite out- line. It never coutlescends to partiou• lars. Trot as matters affecting the tar- iff have an influence on the revenue of the country, .the Finance Minister is the person who doofdes what alters - thane can be made, and lie snakes the announcement of these ohauges in his budget speech. It would, therefore, be just as well for those gentlemen who are finding fault with the para. graph relating to the National Policy to wait until the proper time before they condemn the efforts that the Govern- ment of Sir John Alacdouald is making to alleviate Ilia distress unhappily ex- istiug in the country. THE SALARY GAAP. The conduct of the Ontario Legis- lature in reference to the sessional nl- IOwanOe of the members of the Luca' Legislature is anything but creditable. Every successive pot i ' this connection bears a close analogy to the character of Nr. Mowat—weak, shuffling and in- consistent. They knew that public opinion was decidedly adverse to the increase of the indemnity, and they had plenty of time given thein to reverse their action 1n granting it. But they failed to improve this opportunity, which the Opposition, knowing the in• crease to be in popular disfavor, took advantage of, and introduced a motion asking fur a reduotiou in conformity with the of and vehemently expressed wishes of the people. This motion tilt. Government affected to treat aft a mo- tion of Wa )t of oonfideuee, and their subservient following voted against it to a man -thus expressing the opin- ion that the increase was deserved and justifiable,, that the people who protest- ed against it ;were fonts, and that a reduction to tile- olil figure would be wrong and against public policy. But will it be believed th.at,afraid of meeting au outraged Country and being beaten for their offence, -the Government, after expressly cotnrnauding their support• ers to vote against a motion to reduce the indemnity, have been seized with a death-bed.�r.epentanoe, and in the estimates for- the,year have pleoed the sessional allowance of the members at j10O0, the amount to which the Oppo- sition and the country contended it should be reduced ? Strange, and in- 'eeneistent as it wiay appear with their previous actions, it is it fact. In plae- nig the indemnity at this figure, the Government claim that they intended to do so from the first. Bat this claim will hardly hold good when it is re- membered that, the Government voted and spoke strongly against a motion of a like nature when made Iiy the Oppo- sl'ioii. It is absurd on its face. 'then again, a little cross -firing in the house on Friday between Mr. Wood and i,1r. Meredith fureiebes proof that the Gov. ernment would !lave allowed the ses- sion to pass away without the remot- est reference to the indemnity if the Opposition had net broaelled the sub• feet. Mr. .Mowat had just declared that the Government had intended to reduce the. indeillnity. Mr. Wood etuned that the Government had not decided on taking the step in comas - (pence of the pressure from the Oppo• nit1on ; DIr•. Meredith wished to know whet) the step was dote' inked on ; Mr. Wood replied that be, in proposing the. estimates, [!lade the reduction on his own responsibility and Without 001181111 ing 1110 other members of the Govern- tuent, tlittq liiviug a direct coutradic- 11011 to Mr. Mowat's tissertion that the Government had agreed to reduce the Int enmity; Mr, Meredith Pressed for feil'tiler 1 ,fnrneat on, desiring to know whether cite reduction was 11T11de before or afie the Mouse met, end Mr, Wood reluctantly confessed that he did slot kuo w, if ! tit a !un his w ).1, w ljY-aa he had made the reduction before or after the House met, which is tanta Mount toau admission that they had not intended to make the reduction, but were compelled to do so by the tone of the Opposition in the debate, and the knowledge that they were sustained by the sentiments of the people. Tutt it was a happy epeotaole- .the Premier making a positive assertion, and his colleague giving it a feat contradiction l TIME TABLE, h.

Ocrn BEAPOSTE contemporary says it is willing to meet us in discussing the'I question of the Wardenship if we will refraiu from abuse, and endeavor to "refute the reason it gave why Mr. Gibson should be elected in prefereoue to Mr, Hayes." If it is abuse to tell the truth and point out that the dicta- torial spirit manifested by our contem• porary towards the County Council was impertinent, then we must plead guilty. If otherwise, not. As to its "reasons," we were not aware that it bad tulva,lou(1 any, Anises it be "reas- oning" to say that the Warden requires no particular agility ; that he is a niers' figure -!lead ; and that Mr. Gibson would fill the position with special sat• isfaction. If this is "reasoning," it is a kind which DIr. Gibson will hardly appreuutte. especially when coming from a professed flieud, We doubt if he is thankful for having Lis claims urged at the cost of lying under the unfair imputation cast upon his ability Ly the Repositor. l,oUnty Chief Oa'upbell, of the Seaforth Fire Brigade, was recently presented with a golf locket and walking cline.
