SEAFORTH, The As will be s letter in this i ing public o Sheriffs, &c., fees as at pres Legislature 1 was brought u RIDAY, April 24, 1891. ee Question. en by our Parliamentary sue, the question of pay- cers such as Registrars, by salary instead of by nt, got an airing in the 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, • not by any means the n who spoke on the sub- ncipal argument urged in lotion by a ve almost needle cidedly, the although he most able m ject. The pr oppoeition Wib, that the officials would not be 80 zealnus and faithful in the dis- charge of their duties if on a fixed sal- ary, as when they ilueve the incentive ees. This ie not a very ent, eind would not have a better been available. 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, n1 and ought not to be required, to support a system ofisineoures. afforded by weighty argu been used ha All the offic Government mental contr misrepresented East Elgin, never even made an attempt to try to do anything either for the East Riding or for the city. He was contented with making himself a pitiable object in the House, despised alike by his colleagues land his opponents. a The above, we need scarcely say, is from the Toronto Empire. It is evident from it that there is some person in the Empire office who is not greatly in love with "Little Dr. Wilton," as it would I 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 wh te-headed boy, and why it should I be thought an offence to protest his lection. It seems that the Western tary Camp is to be located this year t. Thomas, and that Mr. Ingram t to Ottawa at his own expense to re this boon for the chief town in constituency. ' The Government the selecting of the place in which old the military camp. They should t for it the best and most conven- place. If St. Thomas" is the best e, then Mr. Ingram is not entitled to special credit for bringing it there. t. Thomas is not the beat place, then Government have done the volun- s and the country an injustice in Mil at S wee sec his hav to sele ien pia any If S the tee order that they might favor Mr. Ingram, a sitpporter. The fact is, St. Thomas is no the best place. Every person knows that -London is the point most accessi- ble and in every respect best adapted for the camp, and is the place which sh uld and would have been selected hall the Government been disposed to what was right. But, at the recent ation, London defeated Mr. Carling elected an opponent of the Govern- nt, and it must be punished. On the er hand, St. Thomas defeated Dr. ilson and elected Mr. Ingram, a sup - p rter of the Government, and it is to bei rewarded at the expense of the country and the volunteers. In addi- tie!' to this, it is almost a moral cer- t4nty, judging from the spirit displayed the Empire, that Mr. Ingram will be seated by the courts and that there II shortly be another election there, d the Government, in order to give m a lift, establish the Military camp i his constituency that he may be able boast to the people, as the Empire is w doing, of what his influence has pm rnplished for them.

But should Mr. Ingram by any mis- chance be unseated, when the time comes for his re-election the people of East Elgin, and especially of St. Thomas, will not forget his disinterested services in going to Ottawa at his own expense at a time when there was not talk of a protest, in order to bring the western military camp to St. Thomas and thereby confer a material benefit on every merchant of that city, and every • farmer in Its neighborhood.

Two days after - 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 !cps ation, and one or two troubleso 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 unequal to the WI( of makingj anyth g out of the Kest Hastings case. IA stronger man might have succeeded, in making a little p rty capital o t of the trumped-up char ing-officer and hi of them could ha ment, but Mr, H The fact that the in em which has grown up from the first days of the Province, bat sober, sensible people will be content to move with the steady, but sure and certain progressive- 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. 8 ; he Is es against t e retnyn- deputies, though n ne t e iujured the Govern - demi was' too we k. cross petition put in by his party as a blutf in respnuse to ithe protest put in against his eleption 4vas withdrawn as soon as opportunity oc- curred in the caurts, showed pr tty clearly that the charges now ade would not stand the test of legal investigation, and the Attorney -General, inlemph 'z- ing this fact, pricked the Hu,dson b b- ble before it was, well floatedI . 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- some salary. Aelsoon as th r Meredilth- Res began to talk this way, it was vin dent there was nothing for the Gove n- ment eupportere to do but to vote. the 'notion down, which, lateron, theyid with their old time majority. The is- : l coalition, however, was not with ut value. The Attorney -General polo ed to ninny advantages of the fee eyed ne, t which at a superficial gland& would be overlooked. At the same tine, he ad it - ted that it was not without its fau te, and intimated that the Go ernment as engaged in gathering infor ation in re- gard to the whole question with a v ew to bringing in, probably next sessiona well -considered scheme to ' replace Ithe present system, if it thould be foundlad- visable. In any case, sonte modifica- tion -such a one as will reinove its lied features -in the present system may confidently be expected before the Kee- ent parliament is though., Of coutse, the Conservative patty may work itaelf into a fury over the jbusiness and heap denunciations upon the bead of the Government for nc:t bolishing rightoff, with a couple of o ' discussion, a prs- i J APRIL 24, 1891_, discovered by Professor Germain See.
