If there has been corruption, however, it
is right that it should be exposed. If
the corruption has been so wide, as the
Government orgaus hint, that it secured
this majority of forty-nine given the

Ma. Patterson, of North Essex, seems
to be determined to go one better than
Mr. Kirkpatrick in the matter of reci-
procity in wrecking. The first named
gentlemen has given notice of a bill to
extend to A.merioan vessels the privileges
of wrecking, towing and coasting in
Canadian waters. Last session Mr.
Patterson was not willing even to admit
American vessels to the privilege of
wrecking is Canadian waters, although
the Americans extend that privilege to
Canadian vessels, It is evident that, as
Mr. Laurier, remarked last session,
"there is reciprocity in the air" and that
even Conservative members of parlia-
ment are becoming disgusted with the
small-soulod policy of the administration
in their dealingg with the government
and citizens of the United States.
Tun Revised Statutes of Ontario eats
forth the "liability of inn.keepers or per.
sons in their employ who sell liquor to
persons who benome intoxicated." The
substance of the clause is that if a saloon
keeper furnish intoxicating liquor to any
person who on account of drinking of
the same has "come to his death by
suicide, or drowning or perishing from
cold or other accident• caused by such
intoxication," the keeper of such place
shall be liable to a flue of 4100 or not
more than 41000. It is a matter of re-
gret that an inquest was not held on the
body of the late John McAlpine, as the
liquor that killed him was procured in
town, and revelations might have been
made that would have rendered it un.
comfortable for the liquor vendor who
sold the nnfortnnate man the fatal
staff.—Georgetown Hrrald.

As this important question will come
up for discussion at the June session of
the Huron Co. Council the various muni-
cipalities interested should "get a move
on" in furtherance of the desired object.
There are in this County a large cumber
of Womens' Christian Temperance Unions
and Womens' Missionary Societies. Why
could not the: a institutions make a united
effort between now and June and boom
the Huse of Refuge? The ladies can do
work the men cannot, and by edueating
the public mind to the necessity of 1o1 -
lowing such a course the way is being
prepared for the "consninmation devout-
ly to be wished." A. deputation should
be sent from every W. C. T. U. and every
Womens' Missionary Society in the
County to the next session of the County
Council armed with petitions, facts and
figures bearing on this very necessary in-
stitution. There was a time when it
was thought the House of Refuge teas a
question only interesting to the towns
and villages, but as the rural legislator
studies the subject he is cozetrained to
give it his hearty co-operation. It wants
to be talked up and all the light possible
obtained.
Washington Letter.
(From our Regular correspondent.)
WAamNGTan,Peb., 1 1891
The Oklahoma bill has had a curious
expe,ience in the House, one that has
riot probably been paralleled in the his-
tory of legislation. On each occasion
that a day has been fixed for its ooneid-
eration the House has been adjourned on
account of the death of some pui,lie then,
M .r. Springer, who I8 the author and
champion of the bill, textured a special
order nor a vote upon this measure lust
winter, but on the date fixed the unex-
pected death of Chief Justice Waite
caused the House to adjourn out of re-
spect. It was some time before Mr.
Springer could get a second spools' order
through the House, but ho succeeded late
in the Bummer. Again death interfered,
for the day upon which the special order
was to take effect the demise of (len.
Sheridan was mane unced. Each suc-
ceeding attempt to secure a special order
was met by increased difficulties, but by
a compromise with the oppeeition, Mr.
Spri tiger had the special order renewed to
take effect on Thureday of last week. It
was on that Day Mr. Burnes' death was
announced to the House and the conse-
quent adjcurnmeut once more interfered
to prevent the consideration of the bill.
The last order, however, is continuous in
its operation until final vote is reached.
Members are beginning to wonder wheth-
er the angel of death will again flap its
wings in the face of Mr. Springer's bill,
and if so, what one of their number will
be the victim.

Hon. Mr. Rowell, replying to Mr.
Edgar, said the voters' lists, as revised in
1888, were 1105V in type. Fifty copies had
been struck off for each eleotore] district,

vising officer would depend upon the size
of the constituency and might also be af-
fected by pending legislation. Lists had
been issued in constituencies where nu
election was being held or where the

upon. No regulation had yet been adopt-
ed as to the price to be charged or the
method of distribution.
