en by our Parliamentary
sue, the question of pay-
cers such as Registrars,
by salary instead of by

st week. The question
by Mr. Wood, of Hest -
ings, moving a resolution favoring the
salary system. He supported his reso-
y able speech, and it is
s to say that he had, de -
beat of the argument,

charge of their duties if on a fixed sal-
ary, as when they ilueve the incentive

els are responsible to the
and are under Govern -
1, and if any proved in-
efficient and iot diligent it would be the
ditty of tbe Government to replace them
by others. There is no danger of there
ever being a lack of aspirants for such
positions, and consequently the Govern-
ment would have no difficulty in filling
vacancies. The same argument would
amply with equal force in every -day
business life, and still private employ-
ers have no difficulty in procuring
faithful and efficient service on the
salary system. In fact it is the one
which is almost universally adopted in
private business, and there has no valid
• reason yet been given why it should not
be praatised in public affairs.
The Opposition supported Mr. Wood's
resolution, but it was opposed by the
Government, and the division was a
strictly party one. It would not have
been so, however, had not Mr. Mowat
assured the House that the Govern-
ment now had the matter under kconsid-
eration, and he promised to bring in a
a measure de, sling with the whole ques-
tion at a future session. There is no
doubt but a measure dealing _with the
question should emanate from the Gov-
ernment, and as Mr. Mowat and his col-
leagues are usually very accurate
gagers of public sentiment, there is
good ground for hope that a fair and
equitable settlement of the question
will be made before the close of the
present Parliament. While we believe
that the salary system would be the
beat, it will not make much difference
to the public which the Government
finally adopts, so long as they arrange
the proportion more equitably between
the officials and the people, and at the
same time require every official to give
something near value for the money he
receives. This Province can not afford,

from the Toronto Empire. It is evident
from it that there is some person in the
Empire office who is not greatly in love

be difficult to put more venom in the
same space. It is equally evident that
there are good reasons for supposing Mr.
Ingram will be unseated through the
protest entered by "Little Dr. Wilson,"
else the Empire would not take the
trouble to give him so glowing a eulogy.
Why Dr. Wilson should not exercise the
right which the law gives him to unseat
his, opponent by means of the law
courts or why he should be so coarsely
abused for he doing, is something which
the Empire might explain ftthe bene-
fit of its readers. He is not\ the only
one by any means who has taken euch a
course to secure a lost seat. It hi .vi -
dent, therefore, there must be some-
thing behind this attack which the pub-
lic do not yet see.
We don't know much about Dr.
Wilson, but we should judge from the
savage attack of the Government organ
that he has been a useful man to his
party and hie country, and that he hes
been a good, large thorn in the fleah of
the Government party, and these cir-
cumstances, no doubt, account for the
bitter enmity of the Organ..
It is not, however, the relations of
Dr. Wilson to his party or to his op-
ponents that we wish to direct attention,
but to the reasons which the organ
puts forthwhyDr. Wileon's opponent,
Mr! Ingrain, should be considered the

ONTARIO LEGISLATURE.]
(From Our Own Correspondent.)
TORONTO, April 20th, 1891.
The week in the Legislature has ben
a moat interesting one. A good deal f
actiJ work was done in the way

motions got rid of. The principal de-
bates were those arising on Mr. Hu
son's motion touching alleged Ifraud
connection with the East Hastings el c -
tion ; on Mr. A. F. Wood's motion firm
the abolition of the fee system in c n-
nection with the payment of officia
and on Mr. McColl'e motionfor
election by popular vote of such offici
instead of their appointment by Govetn-
ment. All three motions, but the tine
latter especially, were among the stroilig-
est features of the -Oppositio4's policy
during the session. Mr. Hudson *s

ness that always characterises Mr.
Mowat's administration. People have
no faith in the periodical radicalism
which afflicts the Meredithites. It ha's
not the genuine ring of referm about it.
The debate was interesting, too, from
another point cf view. Raves the first
question on which the new Legislature
had divided. There was, of course, no
doubt as to the Members of the respec-
tive parties, unless* possibly Mr. G.
Campbell, ot East Durham, be consider-
ed a doubtful man. If he was, however,
considered doubtful before a division,
he Will be much more so now. •
He
represents one of the strongest Conser-
vative ridings in the Province, and
though in his election he defeated a
Conservative on the Equal Rights cry,
yet he was 'confidently counted on their
side. Yet, in neither of the two ques-
tions this week, which the_Conservatives
have forced to a vote, has he been
found on their side. In the case of Mr.
Woed'a motion, he was the only one of
the ninety-one members of the House,
barring, of course, the speaker, who did
not vote or pair, and when the question
war disposed of, nobody knew any bet'
ter than before on which side of the
Home his general sympathies lay. Cer-
tainly, if he was an ardent follower of
Mr. Meredith, and had been unable to
pear, he would have managed to vote.
Then came Mr. McColl's motion, in
which he sought to introduce into On-
tario the Yankee method of election of
officials now appointed by Government,
and, was guilty•of the absurdity of attri-
buting to the present system a large
proportion of the emigration of the flower
of our population to the United States.
One would hardly have expected to have
the Opposition united in support of so
weak a proposition, but for lack of
something better to do they took Mr.
McColl's part. It was natural that such
a discussion as the motion • engendered
-should call up a reference to Mr. White's
views on the question of the relations of
Canada to the United States. Mr.
Awrey teased him over his annexation -
ism so badly that Mr. Mrdith had to
come to the 'rescue of hi recreant lieu-
tenant with the extraordinary protest
that nothing said or done hy Mr. White
outside the House should be used
against him in the House. The motion
was withdrawn after a vigorous discus-
sion, Mr. McColl remarking that he
would re -introduce it next session. The
Hudson motion, however, referred to
above, was pushed to a vote on Friday,
and found Mr. Campbell, the Equal
Righter, on the sidrof the Government.
This state of affairs rather upset Mr. H.
E. Ciatlee's popular majority calcula-
tions, in7which he had the audacity to
count on the Conservative side every
_vote cast in the contest in East Durham
at the general election, as if there had
not been a Reformer in the constituency.
The facts now show, apparently, that
the capture of the seat by Mr. Camp-
bell was equivalent to its loss by the
Opposition.
But the matter that excites moat talk
about the House, and will do so all this
week, is the mining policy of the Gov--
ernment. The features of Mr. Hardy's
bilL have been very vigorously discussed,
and not altogether favorably, though the
principal point objected to, apparently,
is the proposed royalty in the produc-
tions of the mines. This, it • is claimed,
is an old-fashioned method and a most
objectionable one, and one that will tend
rather to strangle than to develop the
young industry whieh it is the wish of
the Government to foster. Mining men
appear to be up in arms over the matter,
and despatchea from Sudbury and Nickel
City every day in the morning news
papers have no doubt demonstrated to
the Government that this feature of their
bill is not altogether satisfactory.

Mr. Wood's motion has to,be regarded
in a much more favorable light. He in-
troduced it in a moderate and sensible
speech, and did not seek to place u on
the present Government the responsi il-
ity of the existing condition of things.
There is, of courae, something to be a id
in favor of the abolition of the efee sys-
tem, and a good many Reform neve-
papers over the country have said lit.
At the same time, there is another side
to the question. As a -whole, the system
has not worked bltdly. There are flews
in it here and there, doubtltss, but to
have heard the Oppositionia s talk, one
would have imagined that the resultof
it generally was to give every deserving
official a pittance and everyman whiese
office was near being a einechre a hand-

-Qn Monday, 13th inst., John Ja
Skelton, of Drayton, formerly of Mor-
rie, died at Toronto, after •a week's ill-
ness of pneumonia. The deceased went
to that city last September to fill a posie
tion in the grocery of Mitchell Brothers,
corner of Wellesley and Ontario streets,
and succeeded adtnirably in his work.

-There - deal of interest mani-
afesdtehliehianeirtGehYiosaclerich just now on the li-
cense question. Pressure is being
brought to bear on the commissioners to
grant a summer lieenee to the Park
House a summer hotel in that town.
This license would be additional te the
limit fixed by the town by-law. A con-
siderable portion of the citizens are op-
posed to the granting of this summer li-
cense and have petitioned the Commis-
• sioners not to grant it. As yet the
Board have the matter under considera-
tion. It is to he hoped the commission-
ers will have the good sense to refuse
this license. If a summer hotel can not
be made pay without the liquor bar as
an adjunct it had better be closed up,
-Over eight years ago Wm. Barrie,of
Morrie, lost out of his pocket a silver
watch, hunting case, that he purchased
a few months previously. He seerched
diligently for a long time for the miseing
article, but found no trace of it until
last week. A son of Thomas Maunders
while attending school' at Barrie's school
house in that township, picked up a
watch on the side of the sideroad ad-
joining the concession, and it turns out
to be the long lost timepiece. Mr. Bar-
rie held the guarantee from T. Fletcher,
of Brussels, from whom the watch was
purchased, and the numbers correspond;

while working the butting saw in Gray,
Young & Sparling's saw mill, in that
village, on Monday afternoon of last

-That well known stock raiser, Mr.
James McFarlane, of Stanley, has dis-
posed of his fine stallion, Glenburn, to
Messrs. Sprung & Askwith, of Willett,
for the sum of $1,200. He is a capital
young horse, and will be serviceable
wherever he may travel.
-Mr. James Oliver, lately of Staffs,
who bought his brother -In-law's, Mr. R.
Drake's farm, on the 2nd concession of
Ashfield, had his barus and their con-
tents burnt on Monday night of last
week -loss $1,500; insured in the Wa-
wanosh.Mutual for $500.
-Mr. Abel Wainer, of Exeter North,
has sold his two hotels, the Queen's, at
Exeter, and the Commercial, at Clinton,
to Mr. John Resider for the old Bossier
homestead- in Nissouri, the figures be-
ing $12,000. Nissonri and London will
find in Mr. Wainer a man of enterprise
and pluck.
-The Wingham ' Times of last week
says: Never before in the history of
Wingham were there so many saw logs
in the mill yarde of the town. All
three of the mills are now being run at
their fullest capacity. Messrs. Button
& Fessant are sawing maple blocks for
the old country market.
-The Goderich Signal ef last week is
responsible for the following : A cat be-
longing to one of our townsmen has
taken a very strange 'teak. For some
time past, as night approaches, it climbs
up and roosts with the hens, and appar-
ently enjoys the novel position. It seems
the well known saying, "Birds of a
feather flock together," does not apply
•iu every case.

-Mary Carr, wife of Mr. John Carr,
of Winghann, after an illness of several
weeks, pained' away on Friday night,
• 10th inst., in her 55th year. The de-
ceased had not been well for some time,
but the immediate cause of death was
erysipelas. , She was of an amiable dis-
position, and was beloved by a larae cir-
cle of friends. She leaves a family of
grown up children and her partner in
her life. ,
-While: Mr. and Mre. Hagan *and
their son Edward, of Hills Green, were
returning rom Clinton last •Iveek, the
horse took fright and ran away. Al-
though all three were precipitated into
the mud, no xerious damage was done,
otherwise than that done to the carriage.
The horse luckily freed itself from the
rig and after running a short dietence
got entangled in a wire fence, where he
was soon captured.
-On Monday, 13th inst., as R. and J.
Postlethweite and D. Sproule, of God-
erich, were boating on the river below
the stationlin that town they got into
the current and were taken down at a
rapid rate. , They were almost at the
mouth whet) they were reecu.ed by John
and Date idurray and P. Shea. The
boat was almost full of water and as
they had no dish to bail the water out
with they would scion have gone down.

long ago.
-On Wednesday evening of last week
what might have been a fatal accident
happened to ,Wm. Miller, son of Mr.Jae.
Miller, of Wingham. After tea William
and his brother Peter were fooling with
a revolver at their home. Peter fired.
the revolver off up in the air, when by
some means it went .off again, the ball
entering William's left breast, penetrat-
ing the skin just below the nipple, and
taking a downward course for about two
inches. Medidal aid was secured at
once and the bullet removed. The re-
volver was an old one, and it is thought
the bullet that entered the young man's
side must have come from the breech,
instead of the muzzle, as there were
three chambers emptied and there were
only two reports. The wound is not
deep, and the young man will not be
off work many days. The ball struck
the buckle of his suepender, which
broke its force, and thus the young
man's life was saved, no doubt. Mr.
Peter Miller's hand was also inturedithe
ball having grazed one of his fingers.
