Act, has been in', troduced into the Legislature. It was brought in by Tion, Mr. Lucas and its ( main outline- follows the draft bill of Sir Wihiam Meredith, It will be taken up by the House in detail during, the next few weeks. - The Liberals 'moved a vote of censure on the Government for presenting such an incomplete financial statement that the public of the Province could not find out from it.the financial; post tion. Editorial from Torgt to',World, (Gen) laureling Slack. Signs are not wanting Chat, although• the provincial government continues to do good work, as in the introduetien of the compensation hill, there • is a gradual slackening of the tone, a re laxation of the high tension which kept all things moving, as it were, towards the golden year, Whether it be a loosening of discipline or an accretion of barnacles or the slipshod methods of over confidence or the con- tempt that:comes with familiarity, all governments seem to tread the same path. It was hyped that the 4Vhitnev' Government would be different,` but there are signs which are evident enough. When a government .does thing'whieh it would not tolerate for a moment if it were in opposition instead of in power, it is time for it to consider its ways. It only takes a turnover of a few pw'''` cent., two or three in a hundred,' upset the strongest ,government. se may seem very dreadful that two o%;,_ three Der cent of the voters should' hold the government in thehollnw of their hands. It seems so incredible that governments -pay no attention to them and gradually come to devote all their consideration to their own pro-- feseed supporters. Then the inared.r,ie thing happens. There are a lot of people in Ontario wondering why, Mr. G. Howard Fergu son is so iudispensable to the govern- ment that special legislatson has to be. passed to save his political life. Mr. Fergnson's personal merits are quite aside from be question. Either he should not have been appointed. or he should have resigned his seat when appointed. The other course was to have repealed the law before the appointment. not after the law was violated, The opposition "has it" on the government, and will no doubt make the most of the opportunity. At the best it represents the slackening up of the system. The government would not have so acted in 1900, lit1MNq•••S.EB•fi.NSN•SNB•ESS..r•SIS•BSSSSSSSS•16•S • • 3 a • 3 As Seen From the Galin • • s 11••••••••••• ECHOES FROM QUEEN'S PARK. •tita•d•wti116: (Special to the New Era) General Election. Every indication points to a general -election in Ontario, possibly in June and at any rate no later than the Fall 'Tile Government has never been as weak as this year. The House is abso- lutely without a leader and confusion is reigning most of the time, with the 'result that the Government; already in the first month of the Session, has made an astonishingly large number 'of blunders which have lead to severe 'criticisms not only from the Opposition but from sections of the Government press. The question of -leadership in, succession to Sir, James Whitney is no nearer solution than it was six weeks ago. Itis thought now that the Government will go to the Country under. the nominal leadership of Sir .lames Whitney in an effort to hold the party together, The 'general election in those circumstances will not be 's 'contest between Rowell and Whitney but one between Rowell and Hanna. Enough has developed against tianna already and enough more is likely to develope to make it easy for the people sof Ontario to decide who should be Prime Minister, Hanna or Rowell. All Night Disturbance. Au all jnigbt Session of the House with much disorder, . with many appeals against the ruling of the Chair and with threats of "naming" several members, marked the efforts of the Goverment to force through at one sitting; a Bill to indemnify, among others unmentioned. Howard Fergu. son, Conservative Member for Gren- ville, who, by accepting a commission from the Dominion Government, had forfeited his seat in the Legislature and had laid, himself open to a fine of $2 000 a day. The 'Indemnity Bill which the Government forced through the House, was a general measure absolving all members who had thus broken the law and thus allowing them to continue in the future. The Opposition, led by Mr. Rowell, fought from three o'clock in the after noon till five o'clock next morning, first, against the attempt of the Gov erninent by absolutely illegal means to over ride the rights of the minority aid force through this Bill with its three readings in one day which, with the Opposition opposed, could only be done by the irregular suspension .of the rules: second, against the general nature of the Bill. Mr. Rowell made it clearthat he was not opposed to re lieving Ferguson if the latter would declare that he had made his mistake in ignorance of the law, but Mr. Row ell pointed out that this Bill was a letting down of the bars and an encour agement of corruption rather than a discouragement. Moreover, Hon. Mr. Hanna repeat edly affirmed that a general Bathed to go through because there were,other Members in the same box. Mr. Rowell demanded their names, but up to the present they have not been disclosed Mr. Rowell claimed that the general public had a perfect right to know who these men were and that there was no justification for the Govern went to conceal them. The appeal was finally jammed through by the Government's majority which, how ever, was opposed strenuously at every step, Subsidy for Radials, Thomas Marshall, Liberal Member for Moack, has 'an important notice on the order paper calling for Domin ion aid to Hydro Radials in Ontario It expressed a gratification that the general movement among the Municip alines of the Province to secure improved electric railway ttaneporta tion facilities through the Hydro Electric Power Commission, declares that the House views with satisfaction the prompt manner in which this question has been taken up by the Uhairman of the Hydro Eletric Power Oommision and would i espectfully memorialize the Government of the Dominion of Janada to grant to Hydro Electric Radial Railways con structedby or for the benefit of the Municipalities of the Province under the direction of the Hydro Electric Power Commission, a subsidy in all respects equal to that cf steam rail. ways under the provision of the Act. governing the granting of subsidies to aid in the construction of railways. It is interesting to nate that it was the Liberal Opposition, through Mr, Marshall, who also led the way last year in connection with the Hydro Radials. A resolution urging the adoption of this policy was voted down by the Government but before the close of the Session, Legislation along the same line was passed by them giv ing the Hydro Commission power to extend its activities to the building of Radials in co operation with Muncipal ities.

Cures Obstinate coughs and colds yield to the greatfui, soothing and healing power of Dr. Wood's Norway Pine Syrup, and for the racking, persistent cough,_ often present in consumptive cases, it will be found exceedingly beneficial and pleasant to take. The use of it is generally in- dicated wherever symptoms •of throat, or lung troubles appear, but especially so with all persons of a consumptive or catarrhal tendency, as its prompt curative properites speedily remove the danger, and restore the throat and lungs to a sound healthy state if used in time. Mrs. Edward Patterson, Young's Cove Road, N.13., writes:—" I have had oc- casion to use Dr. Wood's Norway Pine Syrup, and can say that it is certainly a good medicine. About a year ago' I contracted a severe cold which settled on my lungs, and left them in a very weak state. The cough racked me terribly, and I was in despair until a friend ad- vised ins to give Dr. Wood's Norway Pine Syrup a trial. I got a bottle, and before I had it half gone I found relief.
