Hardy, ProressIYe Lihertll. J. S. Willison, editor of the Toronto Globe, contributes to the November Can- adian Magazine a most instructive article ou "The Premiers of Ontario since Oou. federation." The concluding portion refers to the present Premier, and is as follows In all the work of Government in On- tario for over twenty years Mr. Hardy has done useful, honorable and distio• guished service. His personality is un• like that of Sir Oliver Mowat, his politic: - al integrity is as great, his public record as free from blemish. He managed the public institutions of the Province wisely and well, he was a prudent and capable Minister of Crown Lands, he is an able and pregressive Attorney General. He is perhaps less wary than Sir Oliver Mowat, 130 may not have all of bis old chief's patience, he may say no to the promoter and mubsidyhunter In blunter and more emphatic fashion. But the country loses nothing by these characteristics. He is very loyal to associates, but neither for prieate friendship nor party advantage has he ever sacrificed the public interest. The troth is that few politicians make so small profession before the people and yet so rigidly adbere to the strictest de- mands of business administration. Now and then his speeches betray an unex• peoted depth of sympathy and an insight into the real problems of life that are not always revealed in the prnotising poli- tician. He has read deeply and thought deeply, and has gone to the heart of many problems that most of us treat as reserved for social reformers and philoeo• phi° economists. He is a party man on the platform, but in Commit and in his department he is a sincere and oonsoien- tiows public servant. This estimate may not be accepted by his political oppon- ents, although when ha succeeded to the Premiership it was found that during twenty years of adminiotration of im- portant departments he had not put bis band to a transaction bleat would not bear the closest and keenest investiga• Eon. Mr. Hardy at his best is one of the finest platform speakers tint ham ever appeared in the polities of Ontario. Sbarp, strong, fluent, with a biting sar- casm and an excellent gift of humor, he has an nnusual power of rousing the en- thusiasm of a party assemblage, and in his younger days he struck hard blows et his opponents and perhaps did little to moderate the temper of political contro- versy. In later years he nae softened the tone of his platform oddresses, and in Parliament he has shown a power of lucid statement, foroe of reasoning and aimed. ority to mere partisan subterfuge that makes his the most authoritative voice in the Legislature. He is perhaps a more progressive Liberal than Sir Oliver Mowat, and under his Premiership we may look for a sympathetio hearing for labor, for agriculture, for the workers of shop and field, for all interests upon which depend the welfare of the masses ; but we need not look to his speeches for the rant of the demagogue, nor to hie legislation for the recognition of im. praotioabls theories and the all.healing projects of political pre-millennialisls, Nor will he be stampeded by infiam. matory olamor from pram or platform- He will give the country a practical, pro- gressive, business administration,' and will rest his ease en the average Common sense of the 0ommunity. Mr, Handy ham parried through the Assembly probably one hundred and fifty Mlle, covering the whole field ofProvinoi• al legislation. He was for many years Chairman of the Municipal Committee, and it is doubtful if any other man in the Province has swab a thorough knowledge of our municipal system, His 1101120 is oonneoted with important measures amending the railway law of the Pro. Vince, with amendmeute to the Division Courts Aot and with an act reducing the member of grand jurors. His was the measure providing that in civil oases ten jurors may give it verdict. He omrried through the Legislature the act oetnblieh. ing the Provincial Board of Health. He has made many improvemente in the ad- ministration of legion in criminal mat- ters, and has done moon to perfect the laws touching insurance and the organi- zation of joint stook companies and waterworks and gas companies. Meas. urns respecting private lunatic 0sylnms, an industrial refuge for girls and the re• formatory for boys, and an act relating to religions institutions become law under his onpervisiou. Ile has fathered meao. tires towelling distress for rent and taxes, providing for the eetabliehment of houses of industry and industrial Name and re- specting the offnoeo of Police Magistrate and Sheriff. His name is associated with much of our advanned legislation for the regulation or the liquor traffic and the onfnroetnent of the liquor laws of the Province, In the Department of Crown Lands be bas promoted measures providing redress foe damage to lands by flooding, towelling the Reefing of Umbrae down streams, free grants and home- steads:, oulling and the measurement of saw loge, the examination of cullers, the settlement duties by puncheon of land and alien for waggeo by woodmen, Au important measure passed in 1892 for the proteotiou of the Provincial liaheriee le the work of the Attorney.General.. He 1 tb' ca, •_.� sa; a`: hand hoe shaped most of our meant nein. ing legislation, As allowing the progrse. sive character of his mind, it ie enough to say that perhaps no other community in the world has made mall wise provision for reserving for the uses of the public a fair percentage of the revnnlhp0 from the mining country. Eio were the measures eetablisbiag tlto Algou.luiu No.liouairail. and the Bandeau Park in Bent, In 1802 he consolidated the municipal and mama ement acts. He introduced the measure 00dueingthe number of County Conn. 0)1)010, a first important step toward the the 20r31 oft. reduction of our exoessive governmental machinery, and he is responsible for the law affecting cities of over 100,000 pope• lation under which the Board of 0outtol was established by the emelt of To- ronto. A native of Brant, Mr. Hardy was first elected to the Legislature from South Brant tit et bye -election in 1875, and has held the seat through six general elec- tions. Ile joined the Government as Provincial Secretary in 1577, and was Commissioner of Croton Lands from January, 1889, to July, 1800, when 130 succeeded Sir Oliver Mowat as Premier and Attorney -General of the Province. He did not accept knighthood a few months ago, not, I fanoy, out of any epeoial aversionto titles, but simply be. cause he prefers the democratic simplicity of Oanadion oitieenship. Whatever may be our party affiliations we may surely rejoice that Ole able native Canadian holds so well the chief place in the first of the Oanadiau Provinces, that his public record is one of which Ontario need not 130 ashamed, and that great as was tboloss sustained by the withdrawal of Sir Oliver Mowat and Sir William Meredith, we need not fear but Mr. Hardy and Mr. Whitney will well main- tain the dignity and character of the Legislative Aseembly of Ontario.

The kitten put out its claws and anchored itself half way down the horse's throat, Then a great commotion ensued. The horse snorted and plunged in a vain effort to Munk its halter.
