OTNS AND VOMMENT$ The Ontario Government has spent three and a half million &tars in build- ing aaylunis for the insane and idiotic, and half e million it appropriated every year for maintaining the same. In, ad- dition to this, $548,000 has been expeud. ed in erecting deaf and blind institutea, and the annual coat of maintenance ia nearly 0,000. x x Britilsh statistics have upset another old proverb. We must no longer be - Bove a green Christmas makes a fat churchyard- The figures of the last 30 years in England, according to a cable correspondent, prove thab a ()old -winter ia unhealthy, an3ijd winter ia heathy; a hot summer is always unhealthy, end a cold summer healthy. The old laws got a good many hard raps these days. x x x TheEnglith gentleman who has lately furnished the London Times with letters on the statee"of Canada closes es five col- umn. letter:in Seburday's issue in which he says these "the day is praotioally past when neither inferior goods or inferior men can find a dumping ground in Canada. The people of Canada now appraise both men and good' at their proper value. They are prepared to take that which is good, but have little nee for poor brains or poor merchandise, as they can produce both commodibies of the best grade." fx"x Between Lake Nipissing and Hudson Bay there is a country rich in a great variety of natural resources. The fish- eries of HudsonBay itself are of anon. mous yalue and at the southern end of that great sea there is iron and coal in such abundance as to justify Prof. Bell in saying that the district thereabouts may yet be the Pennsylvania of Canada. Further south, ia the vicinity of Temia- eamengue, there is a vast area of rich soil capable of growing all kinds of grain and scattered over the territory is a forest large enough to provide traffic for a railway for 70 years to come. A line is already in. existence the covers • half the distance between Toroneo and James Bay. x x x The South Perth Reform conyention at Mitchell last week is said to have been the most doleful and sad that ever came together in South Perth. Every man that uttered a word seemed to feel the uncertainty of the situation and a vote to make Mr. Ballantynnis nomin- ation unanimous was not asked for. There are now three candidates in the field, Mr. Race on the Patrons of In- dustry and Independent -Literal plat- form, Mr. McNeil as the official Patron candidate, and Mr. Ballantyee as the machine Liberal representative. It is evident that the fight will be practically between Mr. Race and Mr, ,Ballantyne, Mr. McNeill not being likely to out a heavy figure, not through any fauIt of his for he is understood to be an honor- ed° and respectable man in every way, but because the issues which he repre- sents have already an abler and more capable champion in Mr. Race. Pro- vided other candidates do not crop up, which now seems unlikely, the fight promises to be between the machine element- on the one hand, and the in- dependent manhood of the electorate on the other, with the chances as uaual on the side of the latter.. x x x The Liberal majority in the Legisla- ture has rejected Mr. Meredith's pro- posal that the House meet only once in two years. The Patrons, P. P. A. and Equal Righters voted with the Govern- ment. The action of the Liberals was expected, but that of the Independenta In cause for disappointment-. However, the Opposibien should not allow one • defeat to settle, for this session, the question of reducing the coat of legisla- tion. They ought to bring the proposed forward i agate n the form of the amend - merits that were withdrawn in order to allow a square vote on the resolution disposed of. They should. Ask the House to vote on a propodal that the indemnity be $6 per diem where a ses- sion is not prolonged beyond thirty demi and $300 where it does exteud for' a longer period. The • objeotione that Were- raised against biennial lealssione Could not be made to do duty in op - peeing a proposition of this kind. Ite- clueing the indemnity to the glires named would not restrice •the control • now eXereided by the Legielatbre over public expenditure, and under that re- • duction a saffieients 4116wat1ce would •atilt be left to enable legisletors to serve thee cduntry WitilOnt lose.

After recess Mr. Guthrie resumed the debate on Mr, Meredith's motion for bien- nial sessions and was followed by Messrs. Whitney and Garrow. Sir Oliver Mowat said he saw no reason why a sogeaare vote ehould not be taken, - or or against biennial sessions. He sug- gested that his hon. friends (Messrs. O'Connor and Clancy) should withdrew the amendnaent and the amendment to the amendment. Mr. Meredith said that it seemed, to him a mast desirable thing that there should be a square vote, 'unembarrassed by the amendment or the amendment to the amendment. He thought members of the House could go with 'Very bad grece to the country and say thab they had sat there during the present Parliament and drawn $600 each, and not so very long ago unanimously expressed a desire that the in- demnity should be increased to $800, and admit that they had nocketed the $600, and inform the incoming members that they should. only receive $300. Messrs. O'Connor and Clancy consented to the withdrawal of their amendments, and a vote of the House was taken on Mr. Meredith's motion in favor of biennial ses- sions, with the result that it was defeated by 51 to 26.
