Each Session singe the present Government took office some Stupendous seneati0n has been carefully prepared for the deleotation of the public end paraded in Parliament, in the Press, or on the with allthe appropriate ao platform, . CPPriat p ocmpaniments of a brass band and fire Werke. At oee time it was the Drum. mond County Railway"deal" at another it was the Yukon "steal,' now it ie "hood- ling" in oonneetioa with the Inbsroolonial and now ',trafficking" in raining leases and liquor permits in the frozen North • but in every single instance and without even one exoeption, investigations have shown that there has been abeolately nothing in any way reprehensible in the polity of the Government or in the aotions of ire members or enbordinates, and in more than one ease those who Leve been most active in making the disturbance have been compelled to speoifioally retraot the °barges they have so reokleeely made. THE WEST HURON AFFAIR. We have this week instanced a portion. tarty glaring instance of this unfortunate failing. Twelve months ago last Febru- ary a bye election was held in West Huron and Robt. Holmes was elected as a Government supporter. By the middle of Maroh the Conservative party became possessed of a certain information upon whish they professed to believe that a deal of erookedne ee had contributed r b uted to 1 Mr. Holmes settees. It was nearly four months later however or within a month of an exceptionally long and wearisome eeesion before the matter was brought to the attention of the House in any way, shape or form. Then Mr. Borden, of Halifax, brought the matter np and de- manded an enquiry before the Committee on Privileges and Elections. Although this was the !seat satisfactory method of dealing with the oharges it appeared to be the only one available at that late date and the Government at once granted the request, and gave every facility to the Opposition to prosecute their inquiry, plaoing no limit on the money expended and summoning scores of witnesses at the request of the Opposition although events proved that it was money thrown away inasmuch as they'had no material evidence to give. SURELY THIS WAS SUFFICIENT to satisfy any reasonable man of the Government's anxiety to unearth and pettish any wrong -doing that might have occurred but they went farther and ton. eeoted to allow the matter to stand over until another mesion in case develop. mente might occur in the meantime. Again Parliament met bat it was weeks before anything was beard of the matter, and when it was again brought before the House i6 was done in enoh a way ae to make it a foregone (tonolesion that the Government would be compelled to refuse the demand for an inquiry. The Opposi- tion having by their own neglect, inten- tional or otherwise, lost all reasonable opportunity of having the matter die. posed of during the session demanded all kinds of special departures from the recognized modes of procedure, whioh the Government very properly dsolined to concede. Then all the new evidence they could produce, and snob evidenoe was understood to be a eine qua non of farther proceedings, was a number of EXTRAORDINARY AFFIDAVITS from an alleged agent of the Liberal party in the riding, a man who hoe been convicted of various offenoes, who was a self confessed liar and perjurer, and whose word under oath would not be ao- oepted in any court in the land. There was no attempt to offer corroboration of this man's affidavits but on the other band the Government had a soore of affidavits from well known and reputable Citizens in answer thereto. In spite of all this the Opposition with great show of sincerity demanded the continuance of the investigation, ignoring the fact that they bad neglected to have that investi- gation before the properly constituted law courts of the land although they were in possession of all the evidence they now profess to have, and it was most in. tereeting and edifying to notice the fine paroxysms of holy indignation into whiob Oppositioniste worked themselves when the Government very properly de. alined to consent to any farther waste of public time and money. The session is now nearly four months old. When will the Opposition atop talking balderdash and get down to basinese ? They are making a huge mistake in supposing that this Bort of nonsenee is benefiting them in the country. The people are not the fools they take them for. SISIPLIPYING TRE LAN. A short bill of oonsiderable importance to the eettlere in the Northwest has been introduced by Hoa. Mr. Sutherland, to amend the Northwest Land Titles Act of 1894. Ag the law now stands executions against land have to be recorded with the registrar, but no provision is made for similiarly recording discharges or re- newals of write. The consequence is that the' record hooka in the different land titles offices in the Territories continue to show large numbers of writs recorded from time to time singe 1887, when the Torrens system of registration oame in- to force, many of which have expired for want of renewal, or have been paid off. The first two olatlaes of Mr. Sntherland'e bill provides for the registration of re• newade of write and of the discharge. g . By the third blouse provision is made for simplifying the confirmation of sales of lands for taxes, where the person who originally claimed the land has never opposed the sale or the applioation to confirm ib. Sinoe the bill bas been in- trodaoed by the minister several im. portent further amendments have been suggested and these are receiving the careful tondea ,o x alip n of the Deportment I and of the Government. SEED GRATIS INDEBTEDNESS, Another nada' memento also in Mr. Sutherland's °hargo is one dealing with TRE BRUSSELS POST the liabilities of the tarmere le the Weeb e grain a bythe t4 d at sa !ie . o thh Tae dt m g P p Ggveramopt. For years it has been the regulation for any farmer receiving a supply of seed grain to give a bond to thea t o iindebtedness,hair n mean #h@tg thereon not only hie own name e prin. pipet, bub the name of two other farmers n) severity. Inthe prgogse of time matters hair.° got somewhat oomplioabed, many of the securities have beoome worbhlese, and innumerable oases exist where the liabilities which have been'in- (+erred in all good faith by honed, thrifty and industrious eettlere have beoome a serioue incubus. The amendment to the existing law proposed by Mr. Suther- land nrit es land will.velem() sap I , ;leaving the original beneficiary alone responsible on the bonds, This of course will mean some loss to the public, treasury, but the loss to the individual farmer if the terms of the bond were enforoed would be a far more serious matter to him partioularly ae.he has not benefitted personally there• from. The prinoipls that some meaouro of relief should be granted is accepted on o i• nth sides of file Haase but the OPN e bu tion,—always generous with the public funds when they have no responsibility— to the oonnbry,—desires to wipe out the entire indebtedness and release the prin. cipale, as well as their seoaribies. At the present time however the Government oonsidere that its proposal goes as far as is equitable in the publio interest. D.O. M1ODONALD, M. IP., UNANIMOUSLY CHOSEN AS STAND. AHD BEARER.

P. for Eaeb Huron, after wbiob the following resolution was pegged by a standing vote :— Moved by Go. Councillor Miller, sea. onded by Jas. A. Cline : We, the Lib- erate of Beet Huron in convention as. sembled, desire to plane on reoord our appreciation of the patriotic stand taken by the Government of Sir Wilfrid Laurier in seeding to the aid of the motherland the various contingents of our brave countrymen, who on the field of babble have nobly maintained the best traditions of the Anglo-Saxon raoe. We are in hearty sympathy with the preferential trade policy of his Gov. nob only for the fisaoola l e "meet r Y benefit 'that we believe will aoorue to Canada therefrom, bat also because of its influence in binding more Monty the Dominion to the parent land. We moat heartily endorse the Government's action in appointing a judicial commission to inveetigate the alleged irregularities in the Weet Huron and Brookville elsotione, a course we consider in every sense pre. Eerable to that of oommitttng it to a Parliamentary committee. We are in 'menta hearty sympathy with the general poltoy of Sir Wilfrid Leitrim's Government, and pledge °arselvee to sustain him by the return of a supporter from East Heron, 1 obi , W. cCongratulate t le � , G0p We be t g on @ re i Rosshie a cion to the I mlersh R i a es a p iI denim t� d n a of Ontario, and a a a @AMB him of ells unbounded eontidenoe in hie Govern- ment, and are in hearty sympathy with that ugu a. o a a t the progre@Riva p tier t1 n g tr 01, We desire to assure him that we will oontinue to give him our hearty sup- port in the future, se we have dour is the past, The meeting was concluded with cheers for the Queen, Sir Wilfrid Laurier, the Bose Government and Dr. MacDonald.

Dr. btao- Donald, East Huron's clever repreasote. rive, was the last speaker and returned thanks for the honor done him. A vote of thanks was passed to Miss Crooke and Miss Jean MoLanohlin (a000mpanisi) and Mr. Rosa for their assistance and the gathering dispersed with the National Anthem and oheere for Dr. MacDonald, Sir Wilfrid Laurier, the visitors end the Queen. Dr. MacDonald will be opposed by Barrister Dickinson, of Wingham, who ie already in the field and bard at work. East Huron was gerrymandered to rep. resent a Conservative riding but as Dr, MaoDanlild has ssooessfolly carried the banner through three oonteebs,-the Leat one with Mr. Dickinson as an opponent, —we expeot him to repeat the dose and win at the next election by good major• ity. It means work, however, by every Liberal in the Riding.
