(44 11044 NOTES ANI) COMMN TS. Seaforth Expositor : "It is stated that -Mr. Peter Ryan of Toronto, the Well known Irish Canadian, may enter the ensuing Dominion election as a 'Cpndidate. Whether this be true or not, Mr. Ryan should have the good. Sense and the good taste to resign his lucrative position as registrar of Tor- onto before he meddles any more in politics, and if he has net, it would. not be out of place for the Ontario Cavernnzent, Whose ofticer he is to give him a sharp reminder to that effect." The Expositor is astrayhere Mr. Ryan bas not been Registrar of i orouto for some time. .'. POLITICAL EVENT. There is a minor in Liberal circles v;lnich, though without foundation of direct declaration, is credited by per- sons well up in the party. LL is to the effect that SirOliverMowat will retire from politics directly after the approaching session or even while the approaching Legislature is still in session. It is well known that Sir Crliver Mowat asked to retire before the last general election, but the Pat- rons iinade the fight such a hard one that he was induced to remain. Now the Patrons are beaten, the party is safe, and Sir Oliver Mowat is getting cid.. He leaves the party in a good position, and since he has previously manifested an intention to retire and from the shifts that are said to be con- templated in public positions it is natural to think that Sir Oliver will tad but little lower. Should he not go into the Dominion campaign, he caill retire from public life. The ..resent indications are that Hon. 1. Hardy will succeed Sir Oliver. 1. Sir Charles Tupper, Bart, was '1'ues- G:r a alar. wl fry f.`..ape Breton by the *magnificent majority- .,r cszi, .rt is on the face of it a great victory, and one Of which any leader might be proud. rehe victory is the more remarkable in view of Sir Charles' long absence from . the country, which roust have made 'him personally a stranger to many of the electorate, while his opponent was a local- resident, personally known to ivery one, and very popular. Still, the Conservatives were confident from the outset, and it was not until a few days before the day of battle that. they Entered into the fight in earnest. On the otherhandstuppendous efforts were put forth by the Opposition to defeat he new leader at all cost, and at every Lazard. In addition to this it was found that the lists had been juggled with in a way whichsecuued some tour Or five hundred votes thereon by a fluke to the Conservative disadvantage. The .story of how this was done has been told in the lobbies of Parliament with ,.exaltations It is a storywhich we need &rot here,repeat. Suffice it that there is ample Verification of the statement that so many Conservative votes were disqualified by a trick though inat- tention. Notwithstanding these facts r: Charles has been returned by the lendid majority above stated—a ajority greater than that secured by mss predecessor, Mr. McKeen at the eneral election. Shlpka.

The twelve Grits and twelve Tories who compose the Welland County Council wrangled for two days over the wardenshrp. At the close of the second day the two factions entered the council chamber and the clerk immediately asked for nominations. Mr. J. Harrison Pew was' the only member put up for the honor, but as the standing rules of the council re- quire the warden to be elected by bal- lot they accordingly proceeded forth- with. The clerk sorted the slips of paper and stated that there were 11 votes for Mr. Pew and 13 blanks. As this was not a majority of the council Mr. Pew was not really elected, but no other member could be balloted for, as the nominations were closed: The clerk, after consulting the county solicitor, decided to take another bal- lot, with the result that Mr. Pew had a "full house," 22. Two little children,iris` of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Reid, Chatham, one three years old, the other a mere baby, were left about four or five ,minutes Wednesday, while the mother went to draw a pail of water er at a neighbor's. The elder one gotholdofsomeinatches; ignited them, and managed to set fire to a basket of dry clothes, the blaze also spreading to the window curtains: Seeing what had happened, the child toddled out to the house adjoining, and tried in her weak little way to tell the story; but failed to remake her- self understood. In the meantime Mrs. Reid had returned to the house. She was horrified to find the• room in which she had left the children filled with smoke. ` The elder being missing, the awful thought dawned on the mother that she had' been burned to death.

Its introduction served the purpOstime Remedial Legislation e iiwoulded brought down in a few days. Mr. Laurier said the Government had better defer the notion to take Thursday roughtdownuntil.the legislation was b The Speaker retired at 6 o'clock. After recess the debate on the mo- tion to take Thursday was continued by Mr. Laurier, who quoted figures to show that the Government had never taker; a day from private membrs un- til the Hous had been in session on an 'average for 40 days. The proposed action of the Government was unpre- ceder.reO, ani it was also uncalled for, because the order paper, so far as Government business was concerned, was practically blank. On the other hand, the paper contained a large ;:mount of private business. The day was never taken from private mem- bers -sinless the order paper showed it was necessary on account of the amount of Government business it contained. The Government, lie held, were not in a position to press the mo- tion when they were responsible for the fact that two weeks of the session hcrisis,ad been consumed through a Cabinet Mr. Foster • said the onlyobject was to see that the business cif the session was got through with before the ex- piry of the life of this Parliament. He contended that the estimates and such business should be got through with before the Remedial bill was introduc- ed. The Opposition had avowed that they would not allow anything but remedial legislation to be dealt with this session, and that was an addition- al reason for the Government's action. During the previous session the bud- get debate was proceeded with from day to day. The Liberals had refused to agree to sueli an arrangement this session, but if they would now agree to it he would withdraw the motion to take Thursday. Mr. Mills (Bothwell) said the Eng- lish practice was that a grievance was the first question that should be con- sidered, and that the Government should follow it. Sir Richard Cartwright also claimed that a grievance should be considered first, and painted out that if the Gov- ernment took Thursday it would mean that no private legislation before .the House. much of it of great importance. could be proceeded with. He asserted that Manitoba, would be justified in ignoring any action of the Govern- ment, because since 1891 the House had ceased to constitutionally repre- sent Manitoba, New Brunswick or No- va Scotia. Sir C. H. Tupper held that the Gov- ernment by its action threw down the challenge to the Opposition to hasten the bringing down of the Remedial and the Opposition were now ob- structing, The Liberals did not want the Government to, get on with any business. They were constantly changing front.' Now, they were say- ing that the Rouse ` ' .was a moribund Parliament and -.Mien were com- plaining that - the Government was ' taking the course which would kill im- portant legislation, that should be passed by the House. Mr, Davies i made a 'long speech, chiefly pointing out the amount of im- portant private legislation 'that is on the order paper . and would be killed by the Government's proposed action. The, discussion•'bontinued until uea.r- 'llt' midnight, whe/x.1dr. Foster• amend- ed his ••motion for the Government to take Thursdays until the Budget de: bate was finished.' In this shape It passed unanimously. Mr. Foster announcer that the ur:derstanding.had been reached with the Opposition leader whereby private members would be given two Thurs- days before the day was taken en- tirely for Governmeirt"business. The House adjourned at midnight. WKS PRINCE W,1.YTS- PEACE, Ile Counsels Dnnravee to *cep lip Friend ship ',With "lite IL.8.

Ottawa, Feb. 4. --It seems to be the settled policy of the Opposition not to allow any Government business to lie transacted until the Remedial Bill is brought down. Every day shows this statement to be correct. To -day has been absolutely wasted in frivo- lous talk, Mr. Martin leading off with a windy harangue on the insolvency question. The House has been in _ses- sion nearly five weeks and beyond the introduction of the budget nothing has been accompligehed. Mr. Foster's pro- position, therefore, to take an extra day for the Government's business was not unreasonable, but the Opposition would have none of it and finally, af- ter considerable talk, a compromise was reached. This has been a great day for the Tupper family. Sir Charles the elder receives a phenomenal n j orityi n Cape Breton county and Lady Tupper, wife of Sir Charles Hibbert, presented her husband with an addition to the family in the shape of a bouncing boy, in view of the great victory of the senior Sir 'Charles. The suggestion was made to -night• that the newly arrived baby should be christened either "V,1e- tor," or "Sydney," Messrs. Northrup, M.P.; and Vriah Wilson, M.P., have been Informed by the Fisheries Department that the time for hoop net fishing in the Bay of Quinate has been extended until the lst of May this year. This is a concession. of two weeks. The concession has been granted on account of the late com- mencement of the fishing season and the fact that marry fishermen suffered serious loss. Both members have been urging the matter upon the depart- ment in the interests of their respec tive constituents. Hon. Clarke Wallace was asked to- day if he had anything to say with re- gard to the resolution of Exeter Or- ange Lodge disapproving of his re- signing from the Government ozi the school question. Mr. 'Wallace stated that of 2000 Orange lodges in Canada, this was the only lodge th'it hadnot upheld his action. He bad already re- ceived between four and five hundred resolutions from different Ora ngebo- • dies approving of the stand he had tak- en. Letters were received to -day from Mr. Corby, M.P., in which he stated that he purposed shortly leaving to spend three weeks or so in the land of the Pharaohs. He expects to return to Canada about the middle of April, and the Conservative members of the House are in hopes that the popular "Harry " will be with them for a few days before the seventh Parliament of Canada has run its course.: Mr. Cor- by,however, states most positively that he will riot be a candidate again for Parliamentary honors. Five years ago to -day the writs were issued tor the present Parliament. They were made returnable on the 25th of April, when the life of the present Parliament expires.

Ottawa, Feb. 4.—•At the •opening of the House proceedings this" afternoon Mr. Martin introduced a bill respect- ing insolvency. He explained that it followed the suggestions of boards of trade and was similar .to the bill in- troduced last session and the session before by the Government. He dilated on the need of such a law and, doubt- ing that the Government was acting in good faith in the matter, and in View of the fact that there was no indication that the Government in- esbnded introducing; such legislation this session, he took it upon himself to introduce the bill. Mr. Edgar supported the measure, holding that there was great need of it in order that honest debtors might get the relief they deserved, ani that dishonest debtors might be prevented from failing dishonestly. Mr. Davies 'held that there was no necessity for the bill, and that the provincial laws respecting insolvency fulfilled requirements, ear. Mulook thought there was need of an insolvency act, an1l considered it the bounden duty of tne Government to introduce such legislation. Mr. Maclean (idast York) said the commercial opinion • of Toronto and other cities was in favor of an insol- vency law, a uniform law, which wouid secure an equitable distribution of the estate of a bankrupt debtor and also provide for the granting of a discharge to the debtor. `Some of us know," he said, "why such questions as this are neglected. Questions of constitution are• taking up too much time in the House, and commercial opinion is in favor of more attention being paid to commercial questions than to con- stitutional ones." (Hear, hear.) Pro- .seding, expressed ex ressed the hope that If the Government were not ready to carry through such a measure this year, they wouid be so next year. Dr. Sproule thought farmers should be given the benefit of an insolvency law. • Mr. Coatsworth said that as far as Tcronto was concerned, commercial opinion was in favor of a uniform measure, which would prevent. prefer= once by insolvent traders, secure the equitable distribution of an estate,. and:. secure a discharge for the debtor. Mr. Mills (Bothwell) doubted the wisdom of a .Dominion insolvency act, and was disposed to leave the ques- tion to the provinces. • Messrs. Macdowall • (Saskatehewan), • Davin, McNeill, and. Flint' cotinued the debate,• after which the hilllwas read is first time. Mr. Foster. moved the Goner linent's notice of motion that 'Government business. should have precedence on Thursdays, for the remainder of the session.
