SEAFORTH, FRIDAY, Feb. prd, 1894.
The Ontario Legislature.
The Ontario 1.-egislature has now got fair-
ly settled down to business. The address
has been disposed of. It did nett :call forth
a -very lengthy or even a very animated dis-
cussion. It was moved by *. Wood, of
'Brant, and seconded. by Mr. Conmee, of Al-
goma. Mr. Meredith, the leader of the op-
position, made a very good speech, as he
always does, in criticism of the policy of
the Government. But Mr. Meredith's
speech was but another exemPlification of
how difficult it is to make bricks without
clay and that even so clever a Man as Mr.
Meredith can not give a brilliant criticism
when there is really -little or nothing to
criticise. As the Toronto Telegram very
„tersely puts it : " Old charges were present-
ed in new colors ; for it would need a.
,
" statesman stronger than Canada possesses
4' to u.nearth new coun° ts against Sir Oliver's
-" Government." But although Mr. Mere-
dith did not " unearth any new counts," he
et/tail/1y did. propound one or two new
theories. He announced as one plank in
- the policy of his party, Biennial Sessions of
the Legislature. This is something new.
l'Afiecond plank is the abolition of the port -
:folio of education, and the placing of educe-
tiOnal affairs under the control of a superin-
Aendent as in the old days of Dr. Ryerson's
tule. A third plank in Mr. Meredith's
.n.ew platform is to liasband our timber re-
sources even if we have to borrow money to
emu on the affairs of the Province, These
Were about all the planks Mr. Meredith in-
ererporated in his platform. There is an -
ether, but it is not new as it has been up
at the last two elections : He goes in for a
fiepret ballot, ',declaring _that the present
syatera is not secret: He had not a word to
say about the fee system, although his or -
gets have been clamoring about it for
mouths. He is also silent on the Prohibi-
time question. It is clear from Mr. Mere-
dith's ad.dress that he is hunting for a griev-
ance! All the changes he•proposes arelof a
nature to draw further frem the people the
sourees of power rather than bring them
neaeento them and it is just in. this that his
weaknais lies. Mr. Mowat replied very el-
f ectisely to the Opposition leader, and the
addresS waa passed without further discus -
Ilion. At the time of writing nothing
new =had sprung up. There is consider-
able Useful legislation proposed and there is
-110 doatba but the session will be lively and
may be longer than usual.

- False and Vindictive.
In thehEiteter Times of last week we no-
tice the fellowing
" Mr. MeLeany:in his address, had truck-
led to tlia.t body, (the Patrons) without
success, and when he found that they were
resolved uPon bringing out a candidate, we
are told, bact representatives present to
bloek the procedure, who, failing in their
purpesei avere in the alternative to vote for
a candidate of conservative strain. The
eoheme Worked, as did the plans to pak the
late Liberal convention, which discarded
the tried atd honored member, Mr. Bishop.
These things are coining to light, greatly
to the detriment of Mr. McLean's candida-
ture." I
The above is so ridiculous as to be almost
amusing, Were it not so false.° Hitherto we
have not paid. any attention to the nasty,
; spiteful paragraphs that the Times_ has seen
fit to publfisla about Mr. McLean, feeling
that if itself aiul its backers desired to con-
duct a political campaige in that way it was
their own affair, and not ours. But, when
the Times rinsiiirts to deliberate falsehood to
bolster up its cause, it might not be the
part of pruitence to treat its statements
with the contempt they deserve, as, in the
absence of a refutation, some might be led
to believe thena
The statement that the late Liberal con-
vention whioli nominated Mr. McLean was
packed, is not only faLse, but it is an insult
to every Liberal la the Riding. That con-
vention was one of the largest and most
thoroughly repteeentative ever held in the
Riding ; probably 4par-fifths of the dele-
gates were farniees, and nia,ny of them Pa-
' trons of Industuaa To say that such a con-
vention was peeked, or could be packed, for
suct a purpose as, the Times insinuates, is a
base libel. It is alao false and equally in-
sulOng to the Liberals to say that they dis-
carded Mr. Bish& and the writer in the
I'd-Itnes knew ho "Was penning a falsehood
when he made the. statement. The state-
Iment respecting the Patrons' convention is
equally untrue. We believe we are correct
in saying that the eonvention was private ;
that none were admitted but those who had
the pass -word of tibe Order ; that none were
allowed to- take any -part in the _ conventioe
except duly appointed delegates, and that
the candidates were selected by ballot. This
being the case, how tonic] Mr. McLean or
any other person influence the choice of the
eonvention either wee way or the other ? If
the writer in the Times were half as sharp
as he pretends to be, he would have noticed
the absurdity of the falsehood before he
penned it. In its „ral to injure Mr. Mc-
Lean, the Times givca him credit for an in-
fluence and power -Which he does not pos-
sess. Ita accusations imply that he was
able; not only to inducts convention com-
posed of one hundred' and twenty of the
leading Liberals of South Huron to " dis-
card the true and honored inember, Mr.
Bishop" and give himself the unanimous
nominatiotn, but that he was also able to in-
flu4nce th Patrons' convention to select .Mr.
Saunders their unanimous choice when
they wan d to select eome person else- If
Mr. Mc it is smart enough, and infiten-
tial enought to mould conventions to° his
will, as the limes flays he has been doing,
surely he is pre-eniiiiently -the man for the
position of xepresentative 1 But, we know
he does not lay claim to support on any
such extravagant pretensions. '„
- The reference to Mr. Biehop is also very
touching. We have no doubt that gentle-
man will feel very highly flattered. ow
that he is no longer the candidate, he is the
tried and honored member." When did
Mr. Bishop become that in the estimation of
the Times ? When he used to be seeking
election the Times could scarcely' find, • epi-
thets bihl enough and mean enough to pelt
at him. Surely the Times has net such a
low estimate of the intelligence of the elec-
tors of South Huronas to believe that they
can be gulled by any such trasht Why,
then, does it try to stir up bad feeling be-
tween parties by such contemptible tactics
as it has recently been pursuing ?,
The Times might be better eniployed in
xplainingthe following. coincidence than in
ublishing spiteful, untruthful and ungener-
us accusations against Mr. McLean : Why
as it that before the Patrons' convention
as held the Times,and every other Conser-
ative paper in the county, was calling on
he Patrons to bring out a candidate, and
hen they. did nominate Mr. Saunders there
as not one of thezn had the courage to more
an mention his naine ? Their conduct in
is respect, to say the 4ry least of it,
ooks very suspicious. It looks as if they
ought thePatrons /would nominate a Re-
rmer, and that by so doing they might
lit the Reform vote and thus allow Mr.
eismiller ,to 'slip in between' the Patron
d Liberal candidates. The nonlination of
r. Saunders, a Conservative, rather spoil -
this calculation. Hence their sudden
ence 'about a Patron candidate and their
ntemptuous treatment of Mr. Saunders.
e Times knows very well that it is only
some such manoeuvre as this that Mr.
eismiller can have even the slightest
ance of success. , We fancy, hoviever, that
will find, before many raoons, that the
trims are too wide awake to jump into
y Such trap, and that they have too sin-
e a desire for the triumph of their princi-
s to lend themselv-es to the work of pull -
Tory ehesnuts out cif the fire.

The Fee Queation.,
" County Conveyancer," in a letter in
Globe of Saturday last, has the following
" For some 20 years I have had to
business with Registrars Sheriffs, Clerks
Court, and other like oicials. For ev
transaction I am called upon by them to
the fees allowed by law for die several
vices ; now I only pay for what I get ; b
should these officers be paid by salary, ot
persons would be called upon to assist
making the salary up, many of whom ne
have occasion to uee the services of any
these officials. If I have a deed to reeo
ot. a seizure to be made under a fi fa, am
not the prpper person to pay the fees the
'for ? Is my neighbor, not interested,
bear a portion -of them ? As it is now,
that use them have only to, pay, and no o
else is troubled, and the more work we ha
for them the larger sum we pay,_ evh
those who have none have nothing toliay.
A good many in discussing this questi
go upon the supposition that, if the syste
now in vogue of giving the fees collected
the respective officials to' the officials
their remuneration for their services,
abolished; that the system Of collecting fe
from the public who use these officers, w
also be abolished. . The above horresponde
falls ;into this error. Such a system wou
be unjust. But those who „advocate t
change in the fee system of paying office
do not advocate' the abolition Of the fee sy
tem for collecting the office revenue. The
propose that the fees be collected from thos
aaho receive the aervice, jaist as they ar
now, but that instead of allowing the offie
als turetain all these fees as remuneratio
for their servicea, the fees should be funde
by the Government, and that out of th
fund so created the officers receive a suit
. able salary, and that the balance, if any, b
returned to the county from which the fee
have been collected. This, it seems to us
would be a very simple operation. If i
should be found that the fees collecteritar
out of proportiou to the service rendered
and materially in adyance of fhe cost of
maintaining the office, then the fees could
be reduced. By this system only those who
patronize the offices would be required to
eontribute towards their support, and the
remuneration of the officers could be equal-
ized and pu t on an equitable basis. Now,
some officer.; only receive four or five hun-
dred dollars a year, while others who really
do not do any more work, receive as many
thousands. It is possible that, upon the
whole, a very great saving would not be
effected oiler the present system. But, even
should this be 'the case, it would be a more
equitable system, and would ultimately re-
sult in weeding out the drones who _draw
big pay for doing nothing and employ a
deputy at a very moderate salary to do the
work. The present system is a relic of the
past which has out -lived its usefulness.

AT Tile bye -election whieh took placein
South Lanark On Friday last, Mr. Clerk,
the Reform candidate, was elected by a
majority of 18. This constituency was
rendered vacant by the late member being
appointed to en office under the Dominion
Government. At this election there were
four candidatee, viz. : Clark, Reformer ;
Lees, _Conservative ; Ferguson, Patron ;
Burrows, Independent Conservative. Clark
received 962 votel ; Lees, 944 ; Ferguson,
800 and BurroWs, 60. The three last named

overe all Conservatives, while Mr. Ferguson,
tlie-Patron-candidate, was also an Orange-
.
man. The constituency at the general elec-
tion in 1890egave a Conservative majority
of over 506. Under these circumstances it
is scarcely likely Mr. Clark will be able to
hold kis seat longer .than the pre sent
session.
The Ballot for Separate Sohool4
Just now, when there is c,onsiderable agi-
tation in some quarters about passing an
act anthorizing the use of the ballot for the
election of Separate School Trustees, the
opinion of a leading clergyman of the . Cath-
olic Church on that subject will be of con-
sidereble interest. Rev. Father Whelan is
the leading English speaking Roman Cath-
olic clergyman in Ottawa, and he has been
prominent in Separate School matters in
that city for years. In addressing his ' con-
gregation on this subject on Sabbath last, he
gave utterance to his views very plainly,and
we have no doubt but be voices the views of
Roman Catholics generally, both lay and
clerical, on this point. He said :
" I desire to say a, few words this morning
on a question which concerns us_ all, and
which has grown in importance and interest
within the bst few days. You must have
read in the papers that a memorial in favor
of the ballot in Separate school elections
has been prepared in this city,and signed by
a score of prominent Catholic gentlemen,
who, no doubt, assume that the other five or
six thousand Catholic ratepayers and elec-
tors of Ottawa want the ballot, axe crying
for it, and will not be satisfied till they get
it. In my humble judgment these gentle-
men are mistaken. Catholics are not so
eager for the ballot as they pretend, and
it would be impolitic to allow ourselves to
be misrepresented in this matter. Let it
not be supposed for a moment that I am op-
posed to the ballot either as a priest or as
an electer. I am not opposed to it, and I
do not know a single priest in Ottawa who
is. But it does not necessarily follow that
we—and I now speak for hundreds of intel-
ligent laymen who feel as I do—that we
should give even a tacit assent to a propa-
gandism which proclaims that vote by bal-
lot is necessary in the, interests of public
schools, and for the protection of their sup-
porters, and that the people are anxious to
have it. We are all familiar with the stock
arguments in favor of the ballot in Separate
school elections. We have been told over and
over_ again that,given vote.by ballot,Separate
School supporters would be placed on an
equal footing as citizens with the supporters
of public schools. What nonsense that is.
The school laws will have to be amended On
other and more vital points before the Sep-
arate school ratepayers in their relations to
the municipality shall be in as equitable
a position as the Public school supporters.
The ballot will not improve our position in
the least. " But," they say, " the ballot is
required to protect Catholics against undue
clerical influence and intimidation." Do the
meniorialists subscribe to that factor ? I
should be sorry to. think they did. Still, it
is one of the strongest arguments for• the
introduction of the ballot, Let the ballot
be given te Separate school supporters when
they ask for it in an open, manly and fear-
less way. But let it not be thrust upon us
to satisfy the noisy clamour of an ignorant
Protestant faction, whom all intelligent and
fair-minded Protestants repudiate, or to
soothe a few panic-stricken Catholics whose
fears are as groundless as their pretensions.

IN reply to Mr. Meredith's proposition in
the Legislature the other day, tobold bien-
nial sessions, the Premier said :
" He did mot think Mr. Meredith had
ever brought in a resolution on this subject,
though it had been occasionally mentioned.
Biennial sessions would be very convenient
for the • Government. The Government
would not suffer, whatever the country did.
It would be to the advantage of the Govern-
ment to go on spending money for two years
without having to meet the Legislature.
But he knew of no case where biennial ses-
sions were held in connection with a system
of responsible goVernment such as Ontario
enjoyed. In some Ameriean States they
prevaileda but the systeth of government
there was'entirely different from that of On-
tario. There was even there, however, a
provision for the holding of special sessions,
and he thought his honorable friend would
find the special sessions were very ournere_

WE DON'T often agree' -with the Mailhl
suggestions on local politice, but we heartily
concur with the following : " If the commis-
sion on the fee system is to command confi-
dence, it should not be,imply a committee
of Liberals. A representative of each party,
a Patron of undoubted independence, and
two judges would make a thorough and im-
partial enquiry, provided the , Government
would take the risk of appointing them."
MR. MCNAUGHTON, the Patron represen-
tative for North Bruce, was introduced into
the Legislature by Mr. Thomas Gibson, M.
P. P. for East Huron, and Mr. Kirkwood,
of East Wellington, both old and well trust-
ed LiberalS. Mr. McCallum, the P. P. A.

George Campbell, the Equal Rights repre-
sentative from East Durham, and Mr. MC -

The Opposition will not run any chances on
the general elections not being called after
next session, and will accordingly' lreep up a
continuous iniccession of broadsides of hot
shot upon the Government as long. as it can.
the session may last five or six months.
While the House of Commons is strui
gling with. tariff revision and Government
ecandals, the ohl gentlemen in the Senate
chamber will deliberate upon the seven
divorce cases that will come before them.,
Only seven couples in all the Dominion this'
year are seeking divorce in the sole manner in
which the law makee divoice possible in
Canada, Last year there were also seven
applications for divorce, and all seven were
granted. The year before there were eight,
of which the Senate granted only five. This
year's applications are : James St. George
Dillon, merchant, of Montreal, who seeks
divorce from his wife, Mary Catherine Char-
lotte Adrienne Barron, of Quebec ; George
Hicks, laborer, of Thornton, Ontario, from
Elizabeth Jane Hicks ; Orlando G. R. John-
ston, florist, of' Kingston, Ontario, from
Hemietta Johnston ; Caroline Jane Dow-
ney, of Toronto, from Donald Clutterbuck
Downey, formerly of Whitby, Ontario, now
`of parts unknown ; Henry Mackey, student,
of Ottewa, the son of a millionaire' lumber-
man, from Laura Estelle Mackey ; William
Samuel Piper, mercha,nt, of Fort William,
Ontario, from Mary Piper ; and Joseph
Thompson, merchant, Belleville, Ontario,
from Hattie Thompson. That is the whole
of this year's list. In each case adultery is
set forth as the cause. When an applica-
tion for divorce is filed with the clerk of
the Senate, a fee of $200 must accompany
it. In addition to this there are the ex-
penses of lawyers, witnesses; etc., which
may bring the cost of a divorce to a consid-
erable sum. One applicant a few years ago
spent $1,600 in fees and legal expenses, and
then had his case thrown out by the Senate.
