DOMINION PARLIAMENT,
The following is taken from the To.
ronto Globe of the 28rd ult. :-
No member of Parliament ever made
his entry or re entry into the House un-
der more agreeable circumstances than
did M. 0. Cameron, the chosen repre.
sentotive of the people of West Ruron,
who made his bow to the Speaker to -day.
He was accorded 0. reoeption that was
nothing short of on ovation, and it must
have been all the more pleosing to the
old warhorse from the fact that the Min-
isterialists joined in the weloome that
was extended to him. A.ppropriately
enongh, Mr. Cameron was introduced to
the House by Sir Richard Cartwright
and John McMillan, both of whom took
an active and effective part in his elec-
tion. When the formal presentation had
taken place there was a wild outburst of
enthusiasm on the part of the Liberal
members. In the midst of the uproar
Mr. Cameron advanced to the Speaker
and shook hands with bim. He was
beckoned to the Ministerial benches,
whither be went to receive the cotigratu-
lotions and welcome of their oompants.
The Ministers and many of the front
benoh Conservative members shook him
cordiallyby the hand. Ala Foster mo-
tioned him to a seat beside him, and
when Mr. Cameron had taken it Ilon.
Mr. Mills remarked with a smile that he
was only anticipating by a short time.
nn. mancintrm.
Dr. Macdonald was the first speaker in
the debate on the address. His speeches
are always replete with facts and infor.
motion, presented in a manner which for
elearnese, inaisiveuess and conciseness is
excelled by few politioal speakers. There
. is an originality of investigation .shown
in his presentation of even well-worn
topics which make him a strong end in•
teresting debater. On the Manitoba
school question he advocated an investi-
gation by commission. It would be a
suicidal policy, in hia opinion, for the
Government and their supporters to pass
remedial legislation without first gather.
ing all the facts. It wouldlead to con•
Maul litigation and disturbance in the
educational matters of Manitoba, and
would be disaatrous and suicidal to the
educational interests of the minority.
This Parliament cannot epeak for the
electorate upon this question, and it is
the electorate and not a moribund Portia•
went that should speak. Parliament's
motto should be "Sufficiently feet if suffi-
ciently well done," rernbering that time
frequently accomplishes an amicable
settlement where hasty legislation widens
the breach. The Government policy of
remedial legislation is, in his opinion, a
:short-sighted one, and he ventured the
prediction that the Government will re-
gret the day, the minority will regret the
day, and the whole country will regret
the day if Manitoba were coerced •with-
out a full and complete elucidation of all
the facts bearing upon this serious and
important question.
STATE or Ann sumfm.
Referring to the promise of the Gov-
ernment in the address to make provisi-
on for the better arming of the militia
and to strengthen the defences of the
country, he said that this policy would
be supported by every loyal man in the
country. Large some were now epent
upon the militia ; $1,574,000 was spent
in 1896. Still there had been complaints
from all sides about lbs disorganized and
inefficient state of the militia, It would
be interesting to ask whether those com-
plaints were tamed upon fact. Were the
following statements true, or were they
true when made? He hoped the Minis-
ter of Militin might be able truthfully to
contradict them :--Col. It. H. Davie in
a paper read before the Military Insti-
tute, Toronto, early in 1905, said :-"We
have no corps fit to take the field, nor
organization for e, campaign, nor stores
to :supply it. Tho Militia Department
knowe nothing about the rural militia
and cores less. Then, darkness and ig-
noronoe, or worse, have prevailed for
years. The country well knows and the
department should know, .that the mili-
tia 05 1101 only disorganized but demorali•
zed." Was that statement true when
made, or was it applicable now to the
condition of the militia and the ignorance
and neglect of the department 7 Want
of money was not the most serious
charge Ool. Davis mode, but neglect and
ignorams. Another charge was mode by
the Military Gazette in its issue of Janu-
ary, 1895. It eaid :-"The militia hag
never been in a worse condition than it is
to.clay. Ignorance, incapacity and sys-
tematic: neglect are the prominent char•
acteristios of the present militia system,"
Did that ignorance, inchipactity and sys•
tamable neglect prevail in the De.
indolent of Militia 2 Dr. Maodonald
asked. Look of money wan not eomplain-
ed of, so that Parliament had done its
share, but the department was charged
with ignoranoo, ineapanity and misled.
Did the department accent the charge as
true 7 Thie state of affairs had been go-
ing on for years. Major-General Her.
bert, in his report for 1891, said :-"The
rural °00o are very dedolent in inetru.
dim but their orgnization is still more
defective. Money is spent for instruction
hy ofiloare impale of imparting ft.
The arine and equipalente are for the
nmet part obsolete." There wore very
serious eharges eeming from the chief
eominandint; °Meer. What were they

organization.; (8) incapable ofliaere (4)
obsolete equipments. It was four years
after these charges wore made by the
ohjef oilleer of the militia t). 4140 °berg.
es quoted above were made by high mili-
tary authorities. The (Merges were more
numerous and grave in 188,5 than in 1881.
The reason ler tido might bo found in the
frequent changes ef Ministers of Militia,
blow there woo a Minieter who know
nothing whatever about the militia force,
and he had a seat in the Senate, out of
reach of the representatives of the people.
The oonntry was willing M vote euffial-
ent money to maintain an efficient
Militia, but this Parliament, Dr. N40,
donald eald, should not be galled upon to
vote money to a department which bna"
given evidenth of such negleat and in.
capacity Unless it had given evidence of
reform.

building could not have been saved. The
place has since beeu made perfectly
secure.
