Mr. Howland resumed the adjourned debate on the motion to go into supply, He said he referred to the new party -the Patrons of Industry— and the rumours that they were to pass the plough and har. row uve' old systems. In this connection he thought that the system by whioh the House, end to a great extent the country, was divided into two parties—Government and Opposition --was a good one. It might not be a perfect one ; its systema might have been subjected to wear and tear ; but he believed it to be the inost bueinesalike system that had yet been or was likely to be provided for the management of the affairs it of a large country. He gave credit to the Government for the able manner in whioh they find contended for the rights of the preview in the boundry disputes, and for the fact that as far as the public funds were concerned they could not be charged with personal speculation or spending the money in a reckless, careless manner. One of the departments of ad- ministration—the Agricultural "College at Guelph—was a great and useful institution, and nothing could be more satisfactory to a patriotic citizen of the province or couutiry than the knowledge of the success whioh was attending it. It would be found on exam- ine tion that the institutions whioh had been most benficial to the province during the quarter of a century in which the pre. sent Government had held power, were like inheritances. It had been claimed on behalf of the new party that they were to be missionaries of independence and good be- haviour, that their actions and epeeohes would be characterized by a high degree of fairness and courtesy. But on the occasion of the visit to the farm at Guelph, when the affair was graced by the presence of ladies, when all were enjoying themselves, the hon. member from Frontenao had been the first to dissipate the calm ; he had made the only partisan speech, an actual excursion into Dominion politics. The speaker then dealt with the polioy of the Government in regard to the timber limits. He did not yet despair of having the timber of the province put under a form of, ad- ministration which would make it a per- manentinstead of a wasting form of revenue. Of the present state of affairs at the uni- versity, the speaker said he was glad that a commission had been appointed. The answer made to the students who had wait- ed upon the Minister of Education aud'the Executive Council that they would appoint a judicial committee to investigate if charges were formulated was an improper one. In conclusion, Mr. Howland said that the polioy of the Government and its record might be summed up in a few words. The record of nearly five Parliaments out of eight was a record of departmental mediocrity and unfortunately utter dense incompetency. Mr. Gibson, of Huron, said that Mr. Howland had referred to the rule of the late Hon. Sandfield Macdonald and had spoken of him as a gcent Conservative. Mr. MacDonald himself had told him (the speaker,) that he was as good a Liberal as George Brown, The hon. member proceed- ed to defend the expenditures of the Government. Mr. Meacham said that the Treasurer had stated that the platform of the Gov. ernment for the present Parliament would be atria economy and liberal assistance. When an insurance, company was compel- led to close business, its buildings became available for sale. If the Government be. carne involved, how could they sell such buildings as the asylums, for instance? He said that the welfare of the Public schools wits sacrificed for that of the High schools. with moat disastrous results, Mr. Gibson (Hamilton) replied to the 'criticisms of the expenditure for mainten- tenanoo of public institutions, and the Government's system of purchasing sup- plies. Mr. St. John said that in 1889 the salaries of officials of the Government were $170,349.49, and in 1894, $177,727.45. The salaries of officials had been increased, and offices had been created out of all due proportion to the advancement of the country Mr. Davis said that the people had shown' their appreoiation of and•trust in tho Government by returning them to power. Mr. Gurd said that he believed in equal rights for all and special privileges to none. But. the Government had granted the latter to a class of the community, to the injury of the masses. They had sacrificed one of the greatest rights of any Government, the education of the entire youth of the land. If thehon. gentlemen opposite had any love for their country, they would not try to upset an educational system which the people of Ontario had piaoed on a plane where it was the delight of every Canadian and the envy of the world. It was untrue that the Public schools were not advancing, the fact being that their efiiciermy had about doubled in the last ten years. The university had ten years ago 352 pupils, and last year it had 852, and the reason for the increase was the efficiency of the High school system. Continuing, Mr. Rosa made an eloquent and forcible defence of the results which had been achieved by the extension of the High school system, claiming that it had had a great effect upon the young men and women of the country, and combining with his argument a grace- ful oompliment to the people of the city of Aberdeen, peculiarly fitting on account of the presence of the Countess of Aberdeen, in admitting that they were the only people whose circulating libraries issued a smaller percentage of fiction than thoee of Ontario. Mr. Ross concluded by drawing attention to the splendid record made by the Ontario Educational exhibit at the. ' World's Fair,in competition petition with�those of other countries. Mr. Whitney said he thought the time had Dome when the Government should ex- ercise the strictest economy in their admin- istration of provincial affairs. There was a general increase in expenditure going ou, and this increase should be stopped, even without reference to the propriety of the in• creases which had been made. The O ose tion did not object to High schools, which they knew to bo not arioh,but apoormatt's school, but they had also anadmirable system of secondary education, and they felt that the Government ehduld - see that the 95 per oent. of the school population should be more fully regarded—theireurri- oulum widened, and$eater facilities be afforded themforobtaroing g such a complete education as they desired, The Public school should not be used only as a stepping stone to the Illgli-behoof. The Houle should endeavour to devise some plan by whioh the attendants at the Public imbecile sbotrld receive some advancement of whioh diey were et present deprived. They should da everything in their power to advance the agricultural and educational interests of the country, and also to promote the mining industry of the province. Mr. Darrow expressed the hope 'that the Patron element in the House would west in preserving fairness in debate. Hede- nied,. es a member of the Public Accounts Committee, that there had been at any time an effort by Liberal members of that Committee to burke any inquiry that the Opposition desired. With regard to the orftieisnfa made upon the administration of affairs by the Government, he said that the members of the Opposition who desired a reduction in expenditure should specify in committee the items upon which they de. mended reduction, instead of making gen- eral charges. Dr. Willoughby said that the Opposition members were not opposed to the Agricul- tural College, What they were against was the reoklessextravaganoe of the Government in handling the affairs of thirinstitution. He moved in amendment, "( ;,tat it be re- solved that in the opinion of his House the e Present mode of paying registrars of deeds and other county officials ie unsatisfactory ; that said officials should be paid by salary, such salaries to be commensurate with the duties performed, and the surplus fees, if any, should be funded for the benefit of the municipalities."' Mr. Stratton spoke in 'reply, making a general defence of the policy of the Govern• ment, especially with reference to the management of the Education Depart- ment. Sir Oliver Mowat spoke briefly on the amendment. Those who were experienced in the rules of the House were aware that a motion of that kind, brought in as an amendment to the motion to leave the chair, was a motion to which, by the rules of the House, no other amendment could be made. There was no reason why this motion should be thrust upon the House at this time. There were alsaspeoial reasons why the amendment was ill-timed just now, except for a party reason. The House was aware that acommission was sitting at present on this very subject, whose mem- bers had gone into the matter more elabor- ately than he had intended. The evidence had been completed, and was now in the printer's hands, and the report was being made up. It was an important subject, and they must have that information before determining nn their policy. The 'amend- ment was not a fair one to any member of the House, and he intended to vote against it as a protest against bringing such an amendment forward at this juncture, and he would ask that every hon. member of the House vote against it for the same reason. Mr. Hardy made a witty and effective speech. There was in most cases no analogy and no real comparison in the instances of salaries and expenses cited by the members of the Opposition, and the comnarieons made were valueless on account of the great differences that existed between the work done there and here, and the range of the duties appertaining to the various offices. Mr. Hardy then made a general defence of his own department, answering in detail the different charges that had been pre- ferred against his administration, especially with regard to the policy of the Govern- ment in its management •of the timber of the country. - Mr. Haycock surprised the House with the wittiest speech of the day, in which he defended himself against the charges of partisanship made against him by the bore member for South Toronto. He expressed the intention of the Patron party to wait until the Government had received the report of Fees Commission and decided its polioy on the question before expressing an opinion on the utility of that system. They had said they would await the legislation to be brought down by the Government, and they would do so. A division was then taken, the amend. ment being defeated en a voce of 62 to 25, as follows :— Yeas—Messrs. Beatty (Leeds), Beatty (Parry Sound), Bash, Carnegie, Crawford, Faille, Gurd, Hisoott, Howland, Kerns, Langford, Little, McCallum, Magwood, Marler, Matheson, Meacham, Miscampbell, Preston, Reid (Addington), Reid (Durham), Ryerson, St. John, Whitney, Willoughby —25.

Mr. Howland asked :—" Whether it is the intention of the Government to provide for a teinporary renewal of licenses in townships under the Local Option Act, pending the final decision of the 3udioia1 Committee of the Privy Council on the validity of that Act." Mr. Harcourt replied that the 1;ibjeet was under consideration. TO UNITE DISTRICTS. Mr. Bennett tasked:—"Is it the intention of the Government to . unite the license districts of Cornwall and Stormont and dispense with the service of one of the license inspectors ?" Mr. Harcourt again replied that the question was under consideration. DISPUTED JURISDICTION. Mr. Ferguson asked :—" Has any action been taken since last session to secure a settlement of the disputed ee;tdiotion between the Dominion and the province as. to ditches or drains crossing or ruining along railway lines. Also, as to powers of this Legislature to make provision for the protection of the public at railway mee- tings ?" Sir Oliver Mowat replied that an ar- rangement had been inade by the Govern- ment with the Dominion Government to secure a settlement of these and other questions by sending them to the Supreme Court, where, it wet expected, they would be argued within a few weeks. ° THE WIDTH OE ROADS. Mr. Hardy moved the amend reading of the Act respecting road aUowanoei in the Remy River survey.. He explained that the present width, 90 feet, was found by the settlers to be inconvenient, and that it was desired to change it to 66 feet. The motion Was carried.

Truax, one of Canada's ablest thinkers and states- men, a man so highly esteemed by the people of his district that he was honored with a seat in Parliament, kindly furnishes us for publication the following statement, whioh will be most welcome to the public, inasmuch as it is one in which all will place implicit confidence. Mr. Truax says; - " I have been for about ten years very much troubled with Indigestion and Dyspepsia, have tried a great many different kinds of patent medicines, tend have been treated by a number of physicians and found no benefit from them. I was recom- mended to try the Great South American Nervine Tonic. I obtained a bottle, and I must say I found very great relief, and have since taken two more bottles, and now feel that I am entirely free from Indigestion, and would strongly recommend all my fellow -sufferers from the disease to give South American Nervine an immediate trial. It will cure you. "REUBEN E. TRUAX, " Walkerton, Ont." It has lately been discovered that certain Nerve Centres, located near the base of the brain, control and ,supply the stomach with the neces- sary nerve force to properly digest the food. When these Nerve Oen- tres are in any way deranged the supply of nerve force is at ones diminished, and as a result the food taken into the stomach is only partially digested, and Chronic gestion and Dyspepsia soon make their appearance. South American Nervine is ea prepared that it acts directly on the nerves. It will absolutely cure every case of Indigestion and Dyspepsia, and is an absolute specifics for all nervous diseases and ailments. It usually gives relief in one day. Its powers to build up the whole system are wonderful in the extreme. It cures the old, the young, and the middle-aged. It is a great friend to the aged and infirm. Do not neglect to use this precious boon ; if you do, you may neglect the only remedy whioh will restore you to health. South American Nervine is perfectly safe, and very pleasent to the taste. Delicate ladies, do not fail to use thio great cure, 13teause it will put the bloom of freshness and beauty upon your lips and in your cheeks, and quickly drive away your disabilities and weaknesses. Dr. W. Washburn, of New Richmond, Indiana, writes : "I have used South American Nervine in my far.iily and presoribed it in my practice. It is a most excellent remedy," C.
