The firth chew ,provided that the lista etiolate be revised by lathing the original Hone etriking of the Limes to be (hopped by drawing a pea through them, end After making an eddi- $ional list in wanting, the portioes of the hat 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 reimpose tbe exporb duty on pine and spruce logs- Mre O'Brien said it was now near 6 o'cloolc, and he bad not time to explain lie reason for voting againet the resolu- •tion.• Ho moved the adjournment of the Intibitte.• - ler.

Mr. Manatee moved thee it iS cletarintet that the gross amount a the anneal expen- diture of the Dominion should be reduced and the 'needy drain on the people's re- sources redined as far as poseible, end that the Aim providing for the superannuation 01 civil servants be repealed and the system of superannuation Mein oned. 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 gnilty personwould perjure themeolves in the hope of ion -pate it Me. elate (iniehe ell) thought, that in no instanee Arend an *nosed leireon be com- peeled to give etridetee.

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. • To give effect to an agreement between the Grand Trunk Railway Company of Canada, the Canadian Pacific Railway Com- pany, and the Corporation of the City of Toronto.—Mr. Tisdale. Respecting the Port Arthur, Duluth & Western Railway Conmany.—Mr. Mac- dotuaeil (Algoma). Respecting the Lake Erie & Detroit River Railway Company.—Mr, McGregor. The incorporate the Gene Fidelity Guar- 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. Salvation Army Irat. The Salvation Army poke bonnet has been replaced in England by a broad - brimmed straw hat, trimmed with stalks of corn.

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.

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.
