Mr, Costigen intredueed a Bill te amend

He lied that the amendment provided
for %each revteicei of the Ws thet they
enighb be C411ed now lists. The firth chew

With ihose additioata names are not printed.
this way he priuting of the preliminary
lkot week' be ria v
Inn Decks—That ie to be done by the
revising officer et' his own motion.
Mr. Costigen said it won the duty of the
;revng officer to have the preliminary lit
printed ; but under the present bill it
would not be necneary for him to have thab
list printed. According to the bill any roan
mot a voter might makeedeolaration etating.
• the gleninde on width ee claimed the right
to be on the liet ; but he could no Intake a
declaration for a number of persons, as
yreVIOUely WES the law. In the case of
men who might be absent from the con-
stituency and unable to make their own
.dochtrabion, a declaration might be made
for them. Another change restored the
date of August int as the term for receiving
elaime for names to be mined. Ib had Borne
•tines ago been extended to August 15th,
but woe found inconvenient, and hence the
thange.
Mr. Laurier eald he bad no remark° to
'offer at all upon the bill which had jun
been introdueee, hut boniest say that there
innet be in the HOMO a deep sense of dis-
appointment. Lest session the then Sewn -
buy of State, now Minister of Militia,
prornieed the House that there would be
thorough revisiou of the Act. Now the
thorough revision amounted simply to this,
that there were to be some
amendments to the provisions of the Act
dealing with the manner of making the
lists. The Act might be a little better, but
on the whole it would be just as bad as it
•was to -day.
Mr. Davies said the intention of the
law seemed to him very plain, that a
very large portion of the work tihould
be done by the revising officers of their
own •motion. In his county the revising
officer did not put any namea
en tbe list at ail, leaving it to the members
of the respective parties to do so. He
thought the revising officers Bilotti& be given
to understand that at was part of their duty
to pub names on the list.
Mr. Mille said be was ,disappointed in
the bW1 having been in hopes that the Gov-
ernment would return to the condition of
things that existed before the present
nleranclaise Act wes intoduced, and which
walled ao smoothly during the that eighteen
years of theFedenel constitution. It seemed
to bina that the preparation of the lists
would never be eatiefactory till the pre-
paring of them was put in the hands of the
people. Why, he asked, should the revising
officer be the officer for preparing the lists?
It would be more riatiefactory if the lists
were prepared by an offioer of the munici-
pality.
Mr. Leerier asked if the returning -
ear ba.d been appointed and the writ
insued for an election in South Middksex.
Sir John Thompson eaid the returning
oilier• had been appointed and the writ
issued, and the nomination would be on the
15th of March.
Mr. Welsh moved the adjournment of
the debate in order to bring up the
question of the Chignecto ship railway.
Be noticed in a newspaper that by an
order -in -Council the time for the comple-
tion of the railway had been extended be-
yond July, 1,893, under certain conditions.
Be held that Parliament should have been
consulted before any extension was given.
Be denounced the whole affair as a wild -cat
inheres, and said that if further aid was
withheld it would prevent foreign investors
from losing their money and save the people
of the Dominion from losing $3,000,000. He
1nel a motion on the paper asking the names
f)f Ile Shareholders. He very much doubted
if any shipowners had tan cents apiece in
the -railway.
ndr. Foster said Parliament made legal
an arrangement whereby gentlemen inter-
ested in the matter could raise E300,000 on
firth preference mortgages. In znaking that
arrangement te coneiderable length of time
elapsed, end the extension which Parliament
bad granted them now ran to the hied July
next. Under these clircunistances, and bear-
ing in mind the fact that between threeand
four million dollara of private capital had
leen already sunk, that the works were
within a million dollars of oompletion, the
Government agreed to an Order -in -Council
tenet if they would sandy the Government
before mkt session of Parliament that they
bad made sateeactory arrangements for
raising money, and that the works were in
progress, the Government would lay their
mese before Parliament and melt for an ex-
ten.sion of time for one year. No extension
• mould be giVel3 without the sanction of Par-
liament.
Mr. Davies odd Canada wanted above all
things to attracb foreign capital here, and it
mould be suicidal for Parliament to lend its
assistance to auy scheme of a visionary or
wild -cat character. Parliament was doing
a minions injury to Canada in year after
year extending he sanction to this echerne
• and leading British capitalists to co-operate
an it.
Tem following bills were read a third
time :
An Act to amend tne Act to incorporate
the Bullet° & Fort Erie Bridge Company --
Mr. Sutherland.
An Act respecting the Grand Trunk,
tDreergiati Bay and Lake Erie Railway Com-
pany—Mr. Tisdale.
Mr. Edgar asked, in the absence of Mr.
Landerein what the Government paid for
two-rowedbarley, and from whom it was
purnhaged.
Mr. Foster said it was purchased from
gennes Carter & Co., seed merchants, Lon-
don, and the prioe was three pounds sterling
per quarter..
Mr. Sproule moved that it is expedient to

sources redined as far as poseible, end that

Mr. Foster wed that the whole subject
would be diecuseed ma the Bill which he was
about to introduce, be hoped that in view of
that the hon, member would not press hie
'notion.
Rithard Cartwright said that if the
figuree of the hon. gentleman from North
Wellington were correct the Act had been
most greenly abused.
Mr, Laugeber moved that it was expedi-
ent and to the interest et the great bulk of
the consumers to admit free of duty all
foreign sugars, whether raw or refined,
Lest year 345,000,000 pounds of sugar were
imported, on which the duty was nearly
$2,000,000, and which was not paid bato the
pubic treatury, but to a handful of sugar
refiners of thee country. The eenlinlinption
per head last year had been 70 pounds, for
whieh each person had pail 56 mute.
Mr. limeny could assure the hon. gentle
man, at oue who was practically acquainted
with the sugar industry, that no such sum
as 02,000,000 was reaped by the sugar re-
finers. Statistics were given in support of
his contention.
Mr,. MeMillria said that if the sugar re-
finers had not made money it was not
because the consumers got agar so much
cheaper than they ought to.
Sir Richard Ceriewright said it was not to
be wondered at that the members of com-
bines like the hon. gentlemen, who were fat
living on the people of the 00111117ry, should
rise and defend their industries. He was
convinced that in American cities on the
border one-third more sugar could be bought
for the same money than in Canada.
Mr. Kenny—I deny that.
Sir Rieherd Cartwrinht—Of course the
hon. gentleman denims it. If the refiners
and the treasury were making so little
why not double the duty and have auger
free?
Tee House went into committee on Mr.
Weldon's bill to disfranchise electors who
have taken bribes.
Mr. Davies found fault with the bill be-
cause it struck a blow at the man who was
more innocent while it let the guilty escape.
It did not propose to punish the man who
went into a constituency with large sums of
money to buy votes, but puuished the poor
man who accepted money.
Sir John Thompson said he was entirely
in sympathy with the bill and approved of
its principle. It seemed to him that what
the hon gentleman said about their being
other offences in connection with elections
not embraced in the bill might be a reason
for seeking further amendments to the
election law, but chip till undertook to deal
with one evil at least. He was of opinion
that it was more coranton for a large num-
ber of persons in a constituency to demand
that they should be paid for their votes than
for parties to go into a constituency with
lerge sums of money to buy votes.
Mr. Leegelier thought there was much'
good in the bili, bus he thought it could be
amended so as to punish those who geve
• bribes as well as then who took bribes. He
knew of a pariah near Qaebec where it was
a well-known fact, that only one voter could
be found who would not take a bribe.
Mr. Mulock resumed the debate on his
proposed motion that it is expedient to
place biuder twine on the free list. •This
particular combination having, as it were,
put itself outtide the pale of Parliamentary
protection, was now entitled to conduct its
industry as beet it might, and he trusted it
might conduct it legitimately. The Gov-
ernment was bound to teach this and other
combines that protection would only be
afforded when its principles were not abused.
Mr, Lister avid binder twine at Port
Huron of the bestquality sold for 8 cents a
pound and at &aisle for 10 cents a pound.
A gross inequelity existed in the duty upon
wall paper. The toiling masses had to pay
a duty of 130 per cent. for the ordinary
grade of wall paper, while the wealthy
class had to pay a duty only of 35 per cent.
for the best grades.
Mr. Fairbairn defied the hon. gentlemen
who had just spoken, and who probably
never eat on a biuder five minutes in their
lives, to prove that the Canadian farmers
paid more for binder twine than did the
American farmers. The N. P. was the
national existence of the country.
• Mr. Forbes favored the removal of the
duty on binder twine. The reason that the
fiehermon of Nova Scotia were allowed to
have their supplies free was because they
were such thorough free trader e that the
Government dare not tax thorn.
A division was then taken on Mr. Mulock's
motion, resulting as follows: Ayes 51, nays
91.
Mr. Pope's inotion that it is expedient to
place corn on the free list was next voted
-upon. The result is as follows: Ayes 50,
• nays 90.
Sir Richard Cartwrighb, when the orders
of the day were caned, desired to direct the
attention of the House to a curious letter,
which he found in the Montreal Gazette of
this day, over the signature of an hon.
member of the Upper House. The hon.
gentleman has declared that he (Sir Richard
Cartwright) said that the sugar refineries of
Canada employed 223 men. • The hon. gen-
Montan, in common with other members of
the Upper House, had access to "Hameard,"
• :;,.eti might have taken the trouble to read
• what he did say. He had Budd there were
723 men employed for an imaginary manu-
• facturing product of about $10,000,000. Ho
did not care one straw for what Senator
• Drummond thought.
Mr. Speaker and several hon. gentlemen,
—Order, order.
• Mr. Laurier asked whether it was true
that postoffice employees were prohibited,
by recint regulations, from taking part in
municipal election&
Sir John The:impute said an order -in -
Council to that effect had beet bathed, but
• he did not know how far it applied.
Mr. Lauriesaid it was a matter id some
importance, and asked that the order be
brought dove.
Sir John Thompson moved the House into
committee on his Bill respeet,ing witnesses
and evidence.
Mr, Lister thought there were grave
reasone why a person charged with an of-
tence ehould not be a compeenetile witneete
He though b the Bill went too far m thet
direetten. dine teurlevey would be that

Polled° for him to do so. Either this should
be done or the law as it is at present be
repealed.
Mr. Lister conteeded that if a man was
completed to go into the vvitnees box there
would be a period of perjury sixth as had
never been known intern country, Da except-
ing the daye of the Scott Act. It was a prin-
ciple of Englith law that a wirnest was not
bound to criminate himeelf, but if this bill
was passed that protection to the a0eUeed
was removed.
Sir Jetei Thompson could not aocept the
logic which would compel an ao used per-
son to give evidence in ininor offruces and
nob eiv e evidence when he was on trial for
hie life.
Mr. Tisdale moved an amendment pro-
viding thee in case of an aocused party
neither husband nor wife of the accused
could be competent or compellable as win
nerieee.
Sir John Thompson said it was Wee
philosophy to regard family ties as BO
tnered that an accused man should not
be allowed, to testily for iumself on that
account.
The amendment was defeated.
Mr. Mulock moved that a vvife Abell
not be competent to disclose in evidenoe
what her husband has told her, and vioo
versa.
The amendment was carried.
The following bills were read a third
time
Respecting the St, Lawrence & Aaron -
dace Railway Company.—Mr. Bergeron.
Reepecting the Manitoba & Southeastern
Railway Conapany.—Mr. La Raviere.

antee Company.—Mr. Sprouli.
Sir Johu Thompson's bill respecting
witnesses and evidence was carried in
committee and the amendments read •a
third time.
05 motion to go into supply,
Mr. Landerkin said the necessities did
not demand an inceettee in the membership
of the Cabinet. The present was the largest
Cebinet ever he Canada. A large amount
bad been expended upon new officers for the
sake of political exigencies alone. A more
unpropitious time for an inerease in the
Cabinet could not have been chosen. Why
had the lumber, shipping, milling, agricul-
tural and commerciel interests not been
represented in the °menet ? The hon. gen-
tlemen quoted at length figures giviog the
population of foreign nations and the num-
ber of members of their Cabinets, showing
that nearly all foreign nations had fewer
• Ceibinet Ministers then Canine..
Sin Richard Cartwright said that he could
find nothing in the instructions to the cen-
sus enumerators to juseny the Minister of
Finance in saying he could not make the
particulars public.
Mr. Foster said by the regunetions of 1871
the enumerators were sworn to secrecy on
any but general statittical remelts. He
pointed out that the enumerators wen -
sworn not to divulge information; general
results only could be given. The same nee
obtained in the Meted States. There
was no reason why the names of persons
in industrial establishments should not be
given, but further detain could not be given,
according to the rules and regulations gov-
erning the census enumerators.
Sir Re:hard Cartwright—The hon. gen-
tleman having looked into tbe matter,
• will dye the names and deacriptions in
connection with the industrial establish-
ments?
Mr. .Woster—Yee
Mr. Lister poin ad out that an enumer-
ator in Essex nu am, Mr. White, had writ-
ten to the newsp ,pers explaining that each
enumerator was paid a bonus of 15 cents for
every industry uiscovered. Tne cenens but
letiu stated there were 117 manufactories
In Sarnia. He knew there was no such
number in that town.
Sir John Thompson said that the enumer-
ator to whom the member for Learibton
referred, in order to put 15 cents in his
pocket had attempted to add industries
which did not exit's. The unreliable returns
were corrected, and schedule after schedule
was thrown oub.
The House went into Committee of
-Supply.
On an item of $3,700 to meet the ex-
penditure connected with a Lieutenant -
Governor's office,
Mr. Davies strongly objeoted to the item.
It appeared that the country paid for the
Governor's pleasure trips to Winnipeg,
Banff, and other places. Then his secretary's
expenses were paid. • The secretary was
receiving a salary of $600, wbile it was well
known he lived in Winnipeg, being a
student of law there.
Mr. Somerville asked the name of the
Lieutenant-Governoe's secretary.
Mr. Daly—His surname is Royal. He is
a eon of the Lieutenant -Governor.
The item was passed.
The House adjourned at 12 a. m.

1860, no :envier evene had anathed to it so
tench of national importance and world-
wide interest as tbe return of Grover Cleve-
land to the White House,
Grover Cleveland is the son of tlae Rev.
Riehard F. Cleveland, a Presbyterien clergy-
man, and was born in the village of Gild -
well, N J.'on lYlarch 18h, 1837. Shortly
efter his birth the family removed to
Fayetteville, N, Y., where young Grover
hegan life as clerk in a village'store. Oa
the death a hie father he went to Now
York City, where he spent a year as bole
keeper and assistant teacher in the
Institute for the Blind. From there he
moved to Buffalo, where he studied law
and began practice in 1859. he 1863 he was
appointed Aseiste.nt Diem jet Attoriity for
Erie county,. Two years alterwards he was
nominated by the Democrats for District
Attorney, but was defeated. From Jan. let,
1871, to the same date, 1874, he filled the
position of sheriff of Erie county. In 1881
he was elected Mayor of Buffalo. Here his
reforming methods, which had distingushed
him in his preview" offices, lecl to his nomin-
ation for Governor of the State. His elec-
tion, by the great majority of 192,000 over
Judge Folger, Republicen Secretary of the
United States Treasury, brought him into
prominence as a possible candidate for the
Presidency. The expectation was realized by
his receiving the Demooratic nominatione in
1883. • In November of that year he de-
feated the late James G. Blaine and was in-
augurated twenty-second President of the
-United States on the 4tir of March follow-
ing. Oa his retirement in 1889, he went to
New York, where he resumedpraotice of
the law and where be had has since resided.
• Mr. Cleveland was a bachelor for more
than a year after his inauguration, when he
married Miss Frances Folsom a lady
whose tact and good sense has ex:cleared her
to all, as her beauty and accomplishments
made her a worthy bead of the Presidential
household. MISS Ruth Cleveland, bora
after her parents left the White House, is
one of the famous babies of the woad.
VICE-PRESIDENT STEVENSON.
Adlai Ewing Stevenson, Vice -President,
is of North Carolina Scotch -Irish ancestry.
He was born in Christian county, Kentucky,
on Oatober 23rd, 1835. Hie grandfather
was 000 of the early settlers in that part of
Kentucky, and all the family, from the first
immigrant, have been farmers. The Steven -
sons were farmers in Kentucky, as they had
been in North Carolina and in Ireland,
so when the father of Adlai moved to
Bloomington, Illinois, in 1852, he oontinued
that occupation. The future Vice -Presi-
dent, however, " took a notion of higher
promotion" and determined to study the
law; in due time he became a lawyer and
began practice in 1859 at Bloomington, the
same year that Mr. Cleveland was admitted
to the bar at Buffalo, N Y. From Bloom-
ington he moved to Metamora in the same
State. Soon after he was appointed
Master in Chancery, which office he held
for four yearn In 1861 he was elected
District Attorney, bolding that position for
four years also. In 1861 he was selected
to pronoucce the eulogy on the life of
Senator Douglass. During the war he was
a strong Unionist and took a leading part
in raising the 108th Illinois Regiment. In
1869 Mr. Stevenson returned to Blooming-
ton. In 1874 he was nominated for Con-
gress and elected. Two years after he was
defeated by Thomas F. Tipton, the Re-
publican nominee, but in 1878 he was again
returned to Congress. He has been a con-
sistent Democrat all his life. The first vote
he cast in his life was for Mr. Buchanan,
the predecessor of Lincoln. In 1884 he was
sent as a delegate to the National Conven-
tion which nominated Mr. Cleveland the
firsAime and was a member of the Notifi-
cation time,
In August, 1885, he
was tendered the office of first aesistant
Postmaster -General, which he accepted. He
retired with the Cabinet in 1889. Sincethat
time he has lived at his home in Blooming-
ton, attending to his professional business.
The unusual name, Adlai, has been in the
family for many generations, and itsaid to
be almost confined to it. He is a member
of the Second Presbyterian Chinch of
Bloomington, 111., and bas been since his
boyhood. His family consists of his aged
mether, now in her 841h year, his wife
and four children, one son and three
daughters.
MR, GRESHAM, SECRETARY GP STATE.
Walter Q. Gresham, Secretary of State,
is a native of Indiana, having been born at
LanesvIlle on March 17th, 1832. In youth
he was so poor that he earned his education
at Croydon Seminary and Bloomington
University by performing the duties of clerk
in the County Clerk's office. He was ad-
mitted to the bar at 22 years of age. He
joined the Republican party in 1856, and
was elected to the Legislature in 1850, par-
• ticipated in the war as a Union soldier, re-
tired as Brigadier -General, was, in 1869,
made United States Circuit Judge for the
District of Indiana, became President
Arthur's Postmaster -General in 1883, no-
ceeded Charles J. Folger as Secretary of
the Treasury, and resigned to become United
States Judge for the Illinois and Indiana
circuit& At the Republican Presidential
convention in 1888 Judge Gresham was
strongly supported for the nomination, but
was defeated by Mr. Harrison. Previous
to lust election he announced his intention
of supporting Mr. Cleveland, explaining
that he could not endorse the tariff policy
of the Republicans, nor could he tolerate
the eort of persons who were itt control of
that piety.
MR. CARLISLE, SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY.
John G. (Jarliele was born in Kenton
county, Kentucky, in 1835. He received a
common school education and was admitted
to the bar at an early age. Elected to the
State Legislature, he espoused the Union
cause and did much to prevent the aecession
of his State In 1866 he became State Seca -
tor, and during his second term, in 1871,
was elected Lieutenant -Governor. Five
years later he was elected for Congress, and
was :Amen Speaker of the 481h, 491h and
50th Coogresees. In May, 1890, he was
chosen to fill the unexpired term of James
B. Peck, who died while a member of the

A Pertinent Query.
Apropos of an article on Lady Aberdeen
and Haddo House, the Altruistic Exeltatme
asks: Do you know the name of the girl
who takes your ohild oub to -day? Or the
place of her home, or who her people are?
Forgive the question—bub could it happen
to you, as ib did to one mother at a summer
resort, that your baby might spring from
arms of its nurse into the lake and be
rescued by her, but that she, being
drowned, would be only "Annie," without
any surname, in your rnind, and that, name-
less and friendless, she should be buried
without the knowledge of her kindred, be-
cia,wie you did not know even whence she
had come to you?
