AT the °poling elf the Ontario Legis -
Wednesday, Sir Oliver Mowat
was received at tho Parliament build-
ings by a gaud of honour from the
10th Royal Greneidlers, under the com-
mand of Capt. Myers. His Honour
watered. the chamber preceded by his
official secretary, Commander Lew,
and bis A.D.C., Lieut. 12bn1ay, R.C.D.
Hon, A. S, Hardy` attended the Gover-
nor, and in rear of them eame a pro-
cession consisting of Lieut. -Col. Otter,
Lieut, Col. Delamere, LieulaCol,
Cosby, Lieut. -Vol, Bruce, Captain For-
rester, and Capt. Myles.
Sir Oliver seemed to be in good
health, with the exception of a little
weakness of the voice. The speech
read by Jahn was worded es follows: -
Mr. Speaker and Gentlemen of the
Legislative Assembly :-I have muck
pleasure in again meeting you as re-
presentatives of the province in Par-
liament assembled.
Afier the adjournment of the Legis -
leave Assembly in August last, it was
found to be necessary that. the. Assem-
bly should be prorogued in order that
the by-elections migbe be proceeded
with, and thus effeot given to the in-
tentionof the Legislature. L there-
fore, on the leali day of October, upon
the advioe of my Ministers, issued my
proclamation proroguing the Asseml•ly.
You have doubtless learned with
satisfaction that since you last met
her Majesty has been pleased to ap-
point the Earl of Minto, Governor-Gen-
eral of Canada, as successor to the Earl
of Aberdeen, on his resignation a few
months before his full term of office
had. expired, I am confident the peo-
ple of Canada will find in the new
Governor-General a constitutional rul-
er who will represent her Majesty with
ability and dignity in all the duties
that pertain to his high office.
Lord. Aberdeen's departure from
Canada was a source of sincere regret
to the people of this province. By his
deep interest in every matter affecting
the prosperity and development of
Canada, and by his wise and states-
manlike administration of public af-
fairs he strengthened the attachment
of Canadians to the Empire, and to the
principles • of constitutional govern-
•
•
ment. •
The Countess of Aberdeen, We, spe-
oially endeared herself to the Canadian
people by the interest which she con-
stantly exhibited in their social well-
being and in everything whicb affected
the prosperity of Canada.
The decision of the Court of Appeal
upon the questions submitted. to that
court under the Act of last session, con-
firming the right of poll constables and
others, when otherwise qualified to
vote at provincial elections, is doubt-
less satisfactory to you all.
DECREASED TIMBER REVENUE.
The legislation of last year, which
provided that all pine logs cut on the
Crown domain after the termination of
the then existing timber licenses
should be sawn in Canada, has been
made effective by inserting the manu-
facturing condition in all renewals of
licenses for the current year. In this
connection I am pleased to be able
to state that the cut of logs for ex-
port .by • American limit holders for
the last license year did not appreci-
ably exceed that of former years. It
is anticipated that, by reason of the
legislation referred to there will be a
sensible reduction in the revenue to
be derived (luring the current year
from timber sources. It will, there-
fore, be necessary to make provision
by whit -4 any probable deficient*, in
the revenue may be otherwise made
up. Measures to that end will be sub-
mitted for your consideration.
It will be satisfactory to you to
learn that the mining industry of the
province continues to improve, and
that it is giving constantly increasing
employment to cupital and labour.
You will be gretified to learn that
since your last session the province has
assumed the administration of the
provinciat fisheries. A. fishery branch
has been established, departmentat of-
ficials have been appointed, and the
outside service is being organized. The
important rights a,nd interests whieh
are held by the judicial Committee of
the Privy Council to be vested in the
province relate to a provincial asset
whieb is of great. value, which is to
be husbanded and preserven as an im-
portant source of food supply, and is
confidently expected to increase the
annual revenue of the province. A
bill embodying some needed improve -
!meats in the law may be submitted
for your consideration and approval.
leon will be pleased to know that set-
iefactoty progress has been made In
enforcing the provisions of the Aot to
prevent the spread of the San Jose
scale passed a year ago. A furtber
measure upon the same Subject Will
be submitted for your approval.
E.LECTION LAW AMENDMENTS.
fiNperience has shown thatetthe dee-
tion- laws may be further improved,
and a bill for that purpose •will be
submitted to you. t
Among the othet measures to be sub.
mitted for your consideration will be a
bill for amending the school laws; a
bill to authorize the Porlianmat of
Canada to pass an Act confireeing the
survey of the boundary between the
Provinces of °aerie and IVIanitoba,
made by coraraissioners appointed.' for
that purposes; and abill to intprove
"The Workmen's Compensation for
ItijuVies Act." ••
Upon application of the Lord's Day
Allianoe, it has been arranged to sub-
mit to the courts certaih queetion re-
speot beg the interpretation of the Lord's
Day Lot. Details of tho case to be so
submitted are still under consideration,
4ind es soon as set tied an order-in-Coun-
oil will be pegged for the submission
under the steititte. •
The public memento and reports of
the vorious departments oe the pubine
aervioe wilt be [submitted to you.
The estimates •for the ourrent year
have been prepared with a • view to
economy and offieieney, and will, et
an early day, be laid before ' u.
I test assured that you will give
your earnest eonsideration to be sub-
jects which 1 have mentioned, and to
smile other matters ine may appear to
you to be for the public) good.
