P. p. for West Huron on rising to move the Address in an- swer to the Speeoh from the Throne, -was received with loud cheers. He said he must -not as a Mere. matter of form usual on such occasions -butt as the result of a nervoua'consciousiaess qf his • inability fitly to perfoana the duty, ask the indulgence ot the House; and particularly of those older mem- bers, who have likely so -long ago over- come that nervousness that affects the inexperienced speaker, conscious of his shortcomings, that they have fOrgotten the embarrassment it occasions. He regretted that the duty had not devolv- ed upon one more able to discharge it bfficiently, but having been requested to, do so, he felt it would be 'ungracious to refuse. He -was, however, glad of the opportunity it afforded. him of pub- licly saying, that having confidence three years ago in the ability, honesty, and statesmanship of the Hon. the At- torneaaGeneral at the head of the Gov- ernment, and his colleagues associated with him, he was elected as a support- er of the Administration, and now after three years experience of their adminis- tration of the affairs of the country, of the measures they had. proposed, and the laws they had placed upon the sta- tute book, he had unabated. confidence in them still.

The feeling that this was so has,caused a demand to be made by localities sc mewhat remote from thoge schools for the erection of additional ones. Thia• demand resulted. in the erection of a Normal School at Ottawa and an agitation for a similar one in . the West. The establishment, how- ever, of the system of Model Schools sanctioned by the Legislature during last sessimi, had., he was satisfied, been the most inportant step that had been taken to aapply in sufficient quantities a Icomparati-vely well trained staff of, teacherafor our rural schools, and to induce th E supply of the material to be furnished by every part Of our Province, and he th ought: that the expenditure the Province had made in that di- rection, had preyed much more fruit- ful 'and beneficial ' than the erec- ton of two or three :more large Nor - Mal Soho As cOiald. have been. When. the suggestion for the erection of the Model Schools was first entertained it was feared that, they might only supply material from the towns and villages in their immediate neighbourhood ; 43X;- perience, however, had shown attend- ance wita much larger than was an- ticipated and. embraced students from all the townships surrounding the places Nal ere they were established.

He thought the Comnaission- ors were entitled to the thanks of the House and the country, for they had. discharged heir duty without compen- sation andi. an entirely efficient man- ner. In jusice to the respectable and honest hotel keeper, he must say he be- lieved their former opposition arose from an entire misapprehension of ,what were to be the effects of the measure. They were led to believe -by those who merely desired. to make political capital out of a Government measure -that it was a determined. attack upon the whole body of hotel keepers, de- signed for their ruin by temper- ance fanatics ; but the result has shown, that while it has done a great deal in the ca,use of temper- ance, it has reallly been a measure also beneficial to th Z honest and respectable hotel -keeper. °tie hotel -keeper had told him that the principal objection -was the stipposed difficulty to keep the, houses clear at night in a.ecordalace with the provisions of the Act; but this dif- ficulty disappeared , as aeon as it came into operation, everyone leaving the - saloons when the closing hour arrived -without 1 being reciaested to do So. In his (Mr. Ross') opinion the Act ihad tended to raise the character and stand- ing of hotel -keepers, and_ there was no doubt that ita provisions trid the method in which they had beenicarried out had given general satisfaction. The House - was also congratulated apon having conaolidated the statutes of- Ontario. There was no doubt that this consoli- dation would. be thoroughly weleome to the legal profession; it l' was at any rate very welcpme to the , general public. (Applause.) The magistrates of the Province,'Who bad performed their on- , eroas and disagreeable duties with ad -1 mirable judgment, would find the revis- ed statutes a great bop, and he hoped.; that every qualified magistrate in the: Province would be supplied. with a copy., Any expense incurred in this direction,hd, thought, would be cheerfully borne by: the public, and he4tily concurred inbm the House. These statutes would also! be of great benefit to municipal offal cers and school authorities. While it could. not be expected, that all of these should be provided with copies, it might be advisable to have the Acts relating to the school law printed in separate form, and that ft revised and consolidat- ed. editiori of the School Regulations, which fornaed asimportaiat a part of the ed the premature oo lines, before there wa for them to do. In some lines have been encourage running through the sa, and dependent upon the traffic supplied . in the by the same section of country, and judges, that barely s4fficient 1 to support •one. respect The consequeuce has, been in . many effect t cases financial embarrassment and ruin. ministr He thought therefore that 1 the present_ with s Ontario, was a good time to cur'tail these expen- and th -ealth and ditures and the caution in the Speeelia come upon the -was particularly opportune, in view of these g ural , in- the exhibit made of bankrupt railways may, air- on the .other side of the line. In truth r by the .he was beginning seriously to doubt the tariffatO propriety of having a surplus at all. Upon the railway' speculator it acted like the candle to the meth. So long as it was there it was a direct induce- ment to encourage unsou a and prema- ture railway projects, and it is becona- . t - ing the opinion of many, that it might . be perha,Ps better, t; make a farther distribution of . a part of :the surplus amongst the potpie from whom it is collected, upon the .Same' basis as in. 1873, than to allow i't to be eaten up in assisting .wild-catl soliemes, which would .ultinaately prove' financial fail - ores as business undertakings. He believed. at fa,ll event's petitions would be presented to the :House in favor of that view.' There was a feeling exist- ing that railway add. was something like private charity to street beggars. It was not always given to those a° were most -deserving, but to those who were most 1:‘ cheeky" and. importunate. (Hear, hear.) He thought the thanks of the House and f the people were due to the citizens o Toronto for hEbv- been the means of giving the quietus to one railway project, to which otherwise the Legislature might have been asked to grant aid, and perlia.pe alsoto assist a number of smaller aeheraes dependent upon their connection with the Toronto and Ottawa Road. It was gratifying to know that the immigrahlon to the Prov- ince had been as great during the past Year as in 1876, and full as large as had been anticipated, (hear, ear and cheers) and furthermore that i was better in regard to the quality, of our inamigrants.
