FRIDAY, JAN. 25, 1889.
EAST HURON REFORMERS.
A marravo of the Reform Associations
of ERA Hewn (both Local and Domin-
ion) will be held in the Town Hall, 13rus-
eels, on Saturday, Jan. thlth, at 1 elelock
p. tn. A full attendance is desired at
important business will be transacted.

How would it do to pass a spatial Aat
of Parliament permitting Hattori and
Haldimand Counties to boll quarterly
Dominion elections ? It would be cheaper
than the course now -followed.
Sm. jowl A. Meelextrie while visiting
in Toronto recently, was waited upon by
delegatioe from one of the Labor
organisation. Ile expressed hie opinion
to them that his Government would
shortly deal with the Manhood Sulfasze
question, and the wholesale importati m
of assisted immigrants would be stopped.
Orvixo to the continued Meas.:of Hon.
T. D. Pardee, Commissioner of Crown
Lamle, he has reigned h1 pop folio,
which has been given to Hon. Mr. Hardy,
late Provincial Secretary. Col. Gibson,
of Hamilton, will take Mr. Hardy's
offiae. The new member of the Cabinet
will compare very favorably with his
colleagues. As a body they, probably.
have no equal, being all level-headed men,
well qualifiedfor the various positions of
trust ocoupied by them.
THE Ontario legislature met for the
despatch of business on Thursday of this
week. The address in reply to the speech
from the throne was moved by G. B.
Smith, member for East York, and
seconded by E. X. Davis, the member for
North York. Since the last session there
have been six by-elections in the provinoe,
in East Simon, North York, East Elgin,
Frontenac, North Lanark and East
Northumberland, and in four constit-
uencies supporters of the government
were returned. The seat for Hamilton
is now vacant, but Lieut. Col. Gibson,
the new Provincial Secretary, is likely
to be elected by acclamation there on the
30th of the present month.
Tnn School Board is perfectly oorreet
in enforcing the law concerning regular
attendance of pupils of school age at the
public schoel. There a -e no less than
some 40 or 50 delinquents in this past
year some of them not attending quarter
of the time prescribed by law. It la
hinted if the provision e of the law were
really pet in force and parents who will
not attend to this important matter
were brought before a magistrate and
fined it would have a beneficial effect.
Truancy is not the wo-et habit to con-
tend againet but a pronounced careless-
ness anti negligence on the port ef par-
ents and guardians in not seeing and in-
sisting that the boys and girls are kept
regularle at school.
Onit attention has been directed to the
fact that in the list of names published

ment are considering the proposal to in-
crease the dirty on American flour from
fifty oents to a dollar per barrel, ea an
offset to the proposal of the American
Government to add to the duties on fish.
It appears that it is the Canadian
IVfillerel Association, who are offering
severely from the duties imposed on
Canadian fish entering the United States
and they propose that the Canadian GOY-
ornment compensate them by enabling
them to extort from other Ganadiane
twice as much as they now extort. The
Canadian fishermen of the Maritime
Provinces who stiffer most severely from
the tax upon flour are the real sufferers(
from the American duties) if prohibitive,

(From our Regular Oernes0undont.)
WAnInneres, Jan. 18,1889.
Yesterday was a field day in the House
for the candidates for Speaker. Tba re-
sult Ives that it toed the regular Speaker
and two Speakers protempore to straigh-
ten out the entanglements which follow-
ed one upon the other during the after-
noon. The occasion was the interpreta.
tion of the special order by which Mr.
Springer had leave to present his substi-
tute for the Senate bill admitting the
Dakotas.
Atte,. the general debate had closed,
Mr. Burrows merle the point of order
which the Republicans had been holding
back against the substitute. The special
order allowed only the substitution of the
House bill originally reported by the
committee, .which contained simply a
provision admitting Dakota as a whole.
However, Mr. Springer called up a modi.
find substitute substancially the same as
ihe original, except that it provided for
the division of Dakota, Mr. Burrows
rnude the peinaof order that this modi-
fied substitutetould not be considered as
carrying out the original intention of the
House, and in this he was sustained by
the Chair, But this opportunity had not
given Ole. Burrows all the time he wished
in which to boom his candidacy for
Speaker, and he submitted a point that
under the rules en omnibus hill could nob
be substituted for a bill relating to a
single Territory. Upon this point he
made his grandstand display as a can-
didate for Speaker. He had his desk
serrounded by a large sectiou of the Con-
gressionnl Library, from which he quot.
el a variety of paragraphs, more or less
cionvieteing, as the procedure of past
Congresses, and by this means directed
attention to the fact that he would be a
pretty good man to have as a presiding
officer to unravel the parliamentary
entenglement that may occur in the next
Meuse.
Mr. Springer is a sort of parliamentary
Ajax, and be stood defiant while the
chain lightning of Burrow's argument
played about him, kir. Reed entered the
contest, and the result was that the Ileum
in a few minutes divided upon party
lines. This was what Mr. Burrows did
not want. He bad made an elaborate
presentation of a delicate point, and be
could not afford to be ruled holding an
untenable position, which would ()nevi.
tably h
home happened had the House bean
called upon to review the decision 01 the
Chair. At the last moment Mr. Burrows
withdrew his point of order, thereby ad-
mitting that he had made a failure to
ilistingaiell himself as a parliament:tr.

Mr, Straehan replies to Mr.
Ronald.
To the Editor of THE PosT,
DEM Sra.-If Mr. Ronald chooses to
wax fanny over my upsetting his airy
castle I am not annoyed in the slightest.
I have shown what Britain was ander
Protection and her prosperity under
Free Trade, and exactly the same malts
are 8110100 in the °spore trade of Canada
under Protection. The exports of the
Dominion in 1873 wae $80,780,022. In
1887 only $89,518,811, $274,111 less than
14 years ago. In the faze of these facts
how can any sane man, not blinded by
the increased prices which he is enabled
to extort from the industrial °asses of
this country, persist that Protection le
conductive 30 000 wealth and prosperity.

Every dollar: spent in this way is so much
labor and money lost to the individual
and to the eountry. Protectionists prate
about the cheap labor of Germany goo.

the cheap labor of Germany that puts
our Protectionists into fits, but the eheap

they are untramelled and untaked in
