IT bas bean officially announced that the life of the Dominion Pnrliamenb ex• pires on April 24th, Tam decree Ins gone forth ,that no more Canadian cattle will be allowed ad. mitlanoe to the British market alive. Why doesn't the High Oommissioner speak up for Oaneda and earn his big salary ? MANITOBA refuses to be coerced on the Remedial Order and say they will handle their own school questions without inter. ferenoe or dictation from Ottawa. If there's anything in Provincial rights Manitoba has the better end of the stick. D'Anrox MoCAnr= said, when speak- ing to his brother M. P.'a at Ottawa the other day, that there were members in the House "who ate dirt for a oonsider- ation." The remark could not be con- sidered any too oomplimentary consider- ing the source from whence it came. Doulnlox elections will likely be held in June and a session of Parliament will probably follow at once owing to the total neglect of business in the attempt this .fission to force the Remedial Order through. The Government benches may be 000npied by another set of M. P.'s however then. Tax annual Convention of Last Huron Liberals will be held in the Town Hall, Brussels, on Friday, April 3rd, commenc- ing at 1 o'olook. In addition to the rag• alar business addresses on the political issues of the day will be delivered by :— Wm. MCGtegor, M. P., North Essex; Alex. Campbell, U. P., Kant ; T. B. Flint, M.

Seats will be reserved for ladies and ushers provided. "Wan are the eleatore of this Domin- ion receiving for the large expenditure of money in keeping Parliament in session at Ottawa for months and doing noth. ing?"—BnussELc Poor. "Why don't you write to Dr. Macdonald and find oat about it? As one of the "opposition" he might give an intelligent answer and a little in. formation as to the tactics of your party in keeping Parliem^nt in session for months and doing nothing."—Wingham Advance. We acknowledge that "our" party has been leading "your" party e pretty lively time during this session but the Government usually holds the reins. No need of writing Dr. Macdonald as we have an opinion of the Kincardine Re. view, a Conservative j.,urnal. It says:— "Anybody can be a member of Perlia. went. It is not a position of honor. The meanest member of parliament can be a Oabiaet Minister. It is not now a posi- tion of dignity. The people of Canada are to blame for this state of affairs. Dear reader, are you a voter ? If eo, have you decided to vote against any can- didate, no matter what party name be wears, if you know him to be deceitful, treacherous, wobbling, dishonest, weak- kneed, narrow-minded, spineless, coward- ly or mercenary ? Yon have ? Shake hands 1 Perhaps we can make the eighth parliament of Canada ashamed of its im- mediate predecessor. If we cannot, the case is hopeless." W ill ton.

Everything passed off to the enjoyment and satisfaction Of all, and at a late hour everyone went home well pleased with the evening but sorry to part with the family, who are liked and esteemed by all. Ontario Legislature. AGIUCULTUlttL SOCIETIES. Mr. Dryden's Bill to amend the Agri- culture and Arts has passed the House. In Committee of the Whole, the Speaker secured a nnmber of amendments pro viding for the better management of union societies. At all meetings of agri- oultural and horticultural societies here- after, it will require ten to constitute a quorum, The following clause was in- serted ,•--"The directors of the societies uniting shall be direotors of the union sooiety, and shall elect from themselves a president, a first vice president and e second vise-presldent. They shall also elect from among themselves, or other wise, n secretary and n treasurer or a secretary -treasurer, and they shall op point as auditors two persons who are not members of the joint board of directors. All the by-laws and regulations of the union eooieties must be approved by two. thirds of all the members of the joint board of directors at a regular meeting or a meeting called especially for this purpose." The following section some- what changes the basis of the division of the $420 given to township societies in each Riding :—"Au amount not exceed- ing $420 shall be subject to division among the township and llortioultural societies of each district, to be divided in proportion to the number of paid up members of the previous year, as shown by the treasurer's audited statement and the certified list of members sent to the department, provided that on or before the first day of September of the year in which the grant is paid, the treasurer shall make affidavit as to the number of members for the current year, as provid ed for in section 10 of this Act ; but any one society shall not receive more than $140, nor shall any one society receive more than three dines the amount report- ed as paid up by its members, and not more than 140 members shall be counted for any one socfe1y in making the division of the grant." SUITS AGAINST =DONATIONS. The municipalities throughout the country will welcome the provisions of the Attorney -General's Bill, that all actions against municipal corporations in respeob to injuries' sustained through non -repairs of streets, roads or sidewalks shall hereafter be tried by a judge with- out a jury. COLLECTION 01' DEBTS. A Government Bill respecting fraud by debt collectors imposes a penalty of 420 for every day upon which the offence is committed of Bedding out notices or forms in imitation of the forms appended to the Division Court Act, or calculated to induce the persons receiving the same to believe that they are process -issued with- in the Division Court. SUCCESSION DUTIES. An Act to make further provision for payment of succession duties is intended to prevent evasions of the Aot by dispos- ing of the property noble to duty in the lifetime of the owner, and makes provis- ion to recover the duty where no executor or administrator can be made account able, and empowers the Provincial Treas- urer is commute the duty payable on any future estate for a present, sum, and pro- vides for the payment of duties upon an- nuities in four equal payments. COUNTP CONSTABLES. The Attorney General's Bill respecting high and county constables consolidates the law relating to constables, and makes them liable for inspection and suspension by the inspector of legal offices for mis- conduot. It provides for the appointment of a High Constable by every flounty Council, who shall have the supervision of all the other county constables in the county. THE PASS QUESTION. On Saturday a conference was held at the Parliament buildings between Hon. Mr. Harty and Hon Mr. Ross, as repre- sentatives of the Government, and Mes srs. Power and McNicol, as representa- tives of the G. T. R. and C. P. R., re- spectively, with reference to the ease question. A scheme was suggested which both parties appeared to find satisfactory ; it was that the Government divide equal- ly between the two railways the sum— about $2,500—which they now pay as mileage to the members, and that in re- turn for this the railways issue special members' tickets—not a pass—good all the year round, to the members. Both Mr. Power and Mr. McNicol, it is under• stood, expressed themselves as being in favor of this plan, but had not authority definitely to close the agrooment, and will lay it before their respective chiefs. Tho plan will probably meet with general ao- oeptance; Mr, Haycock is understood to be In favor of it, and the feeling in sup• port of it is general. Wm. Albert Emmett, wee sentenced to two years leas one week in jail at St. Thomas for bigamy.
