TUB CLINTON' NEW ERA
mep's `, Compensation . 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have repealed the law before the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,

(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.

DR. WOOD' NORWAY
PINE SYRUP
Effected f" . 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.
I used two bottles, and have never been
bothered since. I would not be without
it in the house."
