The 0. & G. T. disobarged about 300
men in Port Huron and Battle Creak,
who, Crawford says, have been pursued
by the same blacklisting.
Crawford says he observes the same
thing all over the country. The officials
simply say, after getting an answer bo
the references, "Your' servicesare not
needed. References are no good." They
absolutely refuse to show what the replies
aro to their letters of enquiry, Ll Dans-
ville, Crawford relates, there were three
men employed as oity firemen and two
employed in the police department of
thatoity, who had been former employees
of the 0. & E. I. railroad. The officials
beard, that these men had jobs on the
polies and fire forces of the city. They
wrote to the mayor of Daasville and re-
quested that he take steps to get rid of
these men, because, they said, in case of
a strike, the property of the company
would not be safe in their hands if the
company ebould have to oall on the oity
for protection.

in this country that an American citizen

LOCAL LEGISLATURE',
',Ohs budget debate was opened on
Marob 6th, by 'p, Gibson, the veteran
member for Eosb Huron, who wee given
a hearty round of applaues upon rising.,
Speaking with hie deliberate Scotch

amen, lie said that ;s was with ammo y el eu de not renew within three
tree dation that h
e followed the spawn,
or dieserbatlon (by Mr, Howland), to
wbioh the House had listened for eueb a
length of time the day before. With re.
pard tq that spaaoh, he would venture to
recall what wee gold by a Frenob General
of the cherge at Balaclava. "Ib ie mag,
Mamma” the General deelared, "but it
is nob wax," The speech of the bon,
member (Mr. Howland) was eobolarly,
and smolt of the lamp, bat it was not
snotty a budget speech. A diseertation
on constitutional law it might be called,
or a chapter of Hallam, or perhaps of
Todd. With the first hour of it, with
that pert which defined the duties and
responsibilities of an Opposition, Mr.
Gibson said he agreed. Turning from
the member for South Toronto to the
member for the North division of the
city, he congratulated Me. Marten upon
his elevation to the leadership of the. Op.
position. Mr. Gibson hoped lie would
fill it—("Long," suggested a member)—
as long aa his predeoessor filled it, Mr.
Gibson said, accepting the suggestion,
amid the laughter of the Liberals. As
at the criticism of Mr. Marber's speech
whish had been made, Mr. Gibson re'
marked, sympathetically, that it was
difiioult to preach eight or nine sermons
from the same text and make them all
different. Members opposite were ao•
crammed to refer frequently to the John
Samdfield Macdonald' Government, the
member' for Huron continued. Bat he
recalled that on one occasion NKr. Mac-
donald had said to him that he was as
good a Liberal as Hon. George Brown.
(Applauoe.) Members opposite should
remember this when' they claimed the
Government of John Sendfield Maodoa.
ald as a Conservative Government. Re.
plying to the criticism wbioh bad been
made of extravagance on the part of the
present Administration, the cost of the
various departments in 1878 was corn -
pared with the most last year. In 3873
the expenditure for the civil service
amounted to $188,000. Since then there
had been added the Lioense Department,
the Bareaa of Industries, Departments
of Agriculture and Insurance, and the
Bureau of Minas. " These cost $41,000,
which amount, added to 9183,000, gave
$224,000. Deduct that from the estim-
ates now before the House and it would
be seen that the inorease was only 1.1 per
cent. while during the same period there
bad been an inorease of the population of
the Province of at least 25 per cent.
Comparing that showing with the in.
crease at Ottawa, hedeolared that 10 1879,
when the present Government name to
office, the annual expenditure for civil
government was 9823,000. Now it was
$1,400,000, or an increase of 70 per cent..
Judged by that, the Provincial Govern•
ment mast surely be vindicated in the
eyes of the members of the Opposition
to whom the men at Ottawa were ex.
emplars. By the same kind of oompar•
alive logic he answered the statements
so often repeated, that the Ontario Gov-
ernment has been wasting the reeouraes
of the Province. Contrasting the
administration of public lands
by the two Governments, he sbowed that
the total amount reoeived by the Domin.
ion Government from public lands was
94,275,000, while there bad been expend.
ad upon capital acoopnt for land 93,419,-
000, and out of consolidated revenue 92,-
119,000. If to this wee added the annual
amount paid the Manitoba Government
for the lands taken from that Province, a
defloit of $2,000,000 appeared as the re-
sult of the Dominion Government's ad-
ministration of the public lands. With
the way the public domain had been pan
oelled out by the Ottawa Government
among its camp -followers the country
was familiar—the operations of J. C. Ry.
kerb and other fortunate supporters of the
Provinoe. He was afraid it was because
Mr. Howland had got into bad company
that he repeated these charges. Mr.
Howland in bis speech had claimed thab
if the majority obtained in the recent
elections by the Conservative candidates
in Toronto had been spread over the
Province it would haus given a majority
of Conservative members. Mr. Howland
lied seemed to desire the House to infer
that all the wealth and intelligence of the
Province was centred in Toronto. But a
little later he argued in favor of planing
the government of that city, the centre
of wealth and intelligence, in the halide
of a committee of this House because it
bad shown itself incapable to menrtge
prudently and wisely its own affairs.
Mr. Howland had reflected very severely
upon hie predecessors in this House and
on the members of the Oity Council. Mr.
trustworthy or honest he may have been, Gibson said he remembered that if it had
if he was a striker or in sympathy with not been for the Opposition which the de-
arly strike during the labor agitation in .putittions of citizens had met with from
this country. Is there no way this may the country members of the Private Bilis
be remedied? Have good mon, capable Committee the condition of Toronto
of emrrling good wages, all of them got to would now be much worse. It seemed to
