Following a synopsis of his remake e In addressing the House on ring. into - comtnittee of supply, he did not intend to say anything to hurt the feelings of the hon* orable member for South Toronto, Mr. Howland, by indulging either hi self praise or flattery of friends, or in invective of op- ponents, but would deal with facts, which, as Burns says, are stubborn things that winna ding." Our friends opposite are nb -doubt :preparing their ammunition for the next election. Criticism ,is. their right. They are in opposition to criticise, but crit, itism in order to he effective must be fair. 'The member for West York dealt last night in exaggerations • otriong other things he stated that Stanfield Macdonald Ieft a sur- plus of $4.000,000, when, as a Matter of fact, it was $200,000 less, but of this he would speak later on. As the member for Wel- land, Mr. German, said, Bradfield was a • Reformer so that the Opposition cannot • claim to be hid political heirs, and dasy have formed a narrow conception of -his characters His objectin view were mainly two ; first, necessities of_ the -Province, and secondly, to Inc ase the ,railway facilities. At that time, in the large tract of country bounded by the rail- way lines from Goderibh to Stratford, from Stratford to Toronto. and thence to Coiling - wood, an area containing some of the best land in the Province there was not a mile •of railway. Sandfield partially ,built the London asylum, also • the asylum for the blind at Brantford, and • for the deaf and dumb at Belle- ville. He started the reformatory for boys at Penetanguishene the idiot asylum at Orillia, and the Chitral Prison. His ex- penditure for public 'institutions' mainten- • ance was $171,423 in 1871, aid his, average • expenditurn during the four years of his ad- eministration, $157,240. During the 25 _years since then the average expenditure under this head has been $504,000, a differ- - ence of $347,000 a year, and this item of expense, it must be borne in mind, is vir- tually uncontrollable. The Opposition do not charge and cannot show that a single -dollar of this expenditure was improperly spent or misappropriated. Had it been possible to have kept the expenditure for public institutions' maintenance at the same average per year as sufficed during Sand - field's time, the sum of $8,693,125 could have been tided to the surplus without any allowance for interest. Take the item of railway grants. Sandfield appropriated 'the sum of $1,500,000 for that purpose, but 'there has actually been spent in •bonusing railways since his time the aum of $6,449,- 000. Was that amount not better laid out in providing railway facilities to those parts -of the Province which were without thein, than in addirigto the surplus? On account of municipal loan fund distribution the • Reform Governments since Bradfield's time, have paid -out no less than $3,447,525, an •itein for which Sandfield had no corre- dponding expenditure at alL For hospitals -and charities the excess •expenditure over that of Bradfield Macdonald has been $2,- ;500,000, and not a single word has ever - •been spoken against the expeoditune_of the money. Adding together all theft items, and a sum of nearly 820,000,000 is obtained, which has been laid out either on items for which Sandfield Macdonald had no corre- 'spending outlay, or in excess of his expendi- ture for the same objects. And not one -tittle of objection has ever been made by a single member of the Opposition to the whole thing. (Hear, hear.) - The member for `Wrest York, Mr. Sb. John, had Stated that the Agricultural College cost $96,000 per annum, and he said that only 100 pupils were in attendance at that institution. Whet did they find? The C011ege proper cost only $28,000 a year. Compare it with - the Experimental Farm at Ottawa, where there isnot a single pupil. There the cost is $34,009 a year: But there are 250 pupils At the Agricultural College, not 1041, and if the honerable member had wanted te be fair he would have stated the number cor- rectly and would not have included the costof the travelling dairy and other ex- penditures which ought not to be charged to the cost of the Agricultural College but to the Department of Agriculture. A word now as to the Central Prison. It was a legacy from John Sandfield Macdonald, and he (Mr. Gibson) had always maintained that the Province ought never to have been put to the cost either of building or main- taining it. None of the other Provinces have erected similar institutions, ami at least two-thirds of the expenditure was a direct saving to the Dominion Government. The Central Prison is the institution against which the Opposition have directed their -heavy artMeryin the public aecohnts com- mittee and in the House, but he did not think that all they had made out of it was worth the powder 'and shot. (Laughter.) Now, compare the cost of administering the Central Prison with that of administering the Kingston penitentiary, and the compar- ison is a, fair one, for the institutions have like objects, and the expenseought not to be much greater in the one than in the other. • The pereapita, coatof maintaining the inmates -in the Kingston penitentiary is 6202.33, as against $164.62 in the Central Prison, and the former has the advantage of free water. , The revenue per inmate in the penitentiary • is $7.56, and in the prison $68.74, so that the net cost in the former is $191.77 per in- mate and in the latter $95.88. The differ- ence in favor of the Central Prison is there - :ken nearly $10() per inmate, but as there is some dispna as to the earnings, let the • comparison staled as between $202 per in- mate for the penitentiary and $164 for the prison. This would, give a difference in favor of the prison of $31 per inmate. It was somewhat remarkable that the official teonnected with the Central Prison, Mr. Noxon, whose scalp the Opposition were after, had been called upon to investigate the affairs of the Kingston penitentiary. In Scottish vernacular he had been asked to :give it a redding up, and if dame rumor was anything near the truth, it was not before it was time. (Hear, hear.) His ideas and those of his friend from Lennox, Mr. Meacham, were pretty nearly the same on the subject of education. Possibly tivere was an inclination to over -praise the system, but on the whole he was satisfied with the present state of affairs. Grants to trigh Schools had not been increased and were evidently intended to remain stationary, and they now had the public school leaving examination and continuation classes. The public schools of the Province had not now eta& eeluse of complaint; and there is not a child in Ontario that has ability, ambition or perseverance who cannot with plain liv- ing arid high thinking rise as high as his faculties will. admit. (Applause.) The clam that Sandfield laid by more money than his succeintors was not a well-founded one; As a matter of feet, he did' not pay -as he went-. In the early years of Contest- -eration the Dominion Government spent the -Sam M $500,000 on account of the Province, Which had afterwards to be paid by the incoming administration.

Four -ninths of w eh afterwards went to Quebec. He col- lec ed 8500,000 on account of the Municipal Lon Fund, which was a trust fund, and did noi pay a dollar of it out. He ought ,to have paid $100,000 for Rockwood asylum, wh h was paid by his successors. These thi gs show that had Sandfield defrayed all his egitimidte expenses as he went along;his surplua would not have been so large, and his uccessors'-would have been larger. The me ber for South Toronto (Mr. liowla,nd) say that the sins ;of the fathers ought not to be visited upon." the children, but the operations of this lavieitre inexorable in the political as well as in thephysical and moral world, and the present position of the Opposition is a proof .. of i They were on the other side of the Houre largely because of • the stand their treed cessore had taken in the matter of the tire and , territorial rights of the Pro nee It cost Reform governments $150- 000 o defend and 'maintain these eights, and his sum would been saved if the op- posi on had stood by those on his side of the i use, and resisted the aggression, and bare- aced aggression at that, on the part of th' goeernment of the Dominion.

(Applause.) There has been a tremel ous wau on account of the timber policy f the government, but the timber policy f the piesent administration is the same that of Sandfield Macdonald. He did w at was right; he sold timber berths by a time and so has the present gover ent. • Sandfield's sales averaged 158t s uare miles per year, and those, of the blowa. government 176 square miles. But the p sent administpion has been far / more successful in realizing good prices for the timber than their predecessors. Con- trast their action with that of the late gov- ernment at °Ottawa, who within three months sold 112 berths of 50 square miles each, or 5,600 square miles in the, disputed territory, and never a cheep from one of the gentlemen opposite, neither from his friend fiom Lanark, his friend fiiom Lennox, nor his friend from Halton. Mr. Kerns, -I beg the hon. gentleman's pardon. I was not in the House then. Mr. Gibson, -Then you tire one, of the children, and you are being punished for the sins of your fathers. (Laughter.) 5,600 square miles were sold to members of par- liament and others for $5 per square mile,or $28,000 in all. We bane sold' 4,321 square miles during the Mowat regime, and the average sum of $1,205 per mile has been received, or $5,102,000 in all. This shows the advantage of having our affairs looked after by Reform , administrators. (Cheers.) Mr. Speaker, theie are faots plainly stated, and such things as these are what the peo- ple want to know and can appreciate. It is such facts as 'these that catuie -me to be- lieve that the people are not going to change their ministers for a littlewhile yet. Another item shows that our affairs are ads ministered with economy. Although the population of Ontario- is '500,000 more than • that of the Province of Quebec, the cost of legislation and civil government is less here than it -isethere. • In the matter of pliblici buildinge, the average expenditure of. the , present gohrnment has been just about • that of the Sandfield government. He was astonished to hear his friend from South To- ronto criticize the new Parliament buildings in the way he bed done. In ventilation, comfort, lighting, heating, etc., they would compare more than favorably with the Parliament buildings at Ob. Ottawa, which have coat three or four times as much. He had never yet conversed with a man on the subject who did. not give it as his opinion that the buildings were admit. - able ones and a credit to the Province. And there was thiscto be said about them, that -there has not bean a shadow of a, shade of a scandal in connection with them. (Cheers). The late minister of Publie Works -he did not hesitate to say it now that he haat gone --lad by his faithful andhonest adMinistrii- tion, and especially by the work which he did in connection with these buildings, add- ed fresh lustre tO that good old Highland name, famous in story as it was, and his name and memory will live as long as the buildings endure. He wbuld add the re, marks in closing that his friend beside him '(Hon Mr. Baxter) and himself were now the only two left in the House who could say with reference to the matters he had been speaking of, -"All of this we sive, and part of it we were," (Loud applause). At the conclusion of Mr. Gibson's speech, the House rose, and a number of members, both Opposition and Government, gathered round his desk and warmly congratulated him upon his successful effort. • Remarkable Testimonials. • Atwood, September 28th, 1896.

Two weeks thereafter I was obliged to have the debtor. I doctored all winter. From the lst of May, 1894, I was confined to my bed for Reyna weeks. I had no rest day or night, the pain was intense. I got so thin, and became quite helpless. The doctors had a consultation over me, and said if they could save the leg I could never have the use of my knee again. An operation fright- ened me, and it was then my husband took me to Goderich in a very helpless condition. I took your System Renovator for my sys- tem and to build me up, and applied E. A.

Miss Robertson belonged to a very brilliant Scotch family, which produced such men as the late Prof. Robertson Smith -perhaps the most notable figure which has appeared in Scotch theology since the disruption -but although born in Scotland, she spent most of her long and useful life in Canada. Her father was the Rev. James Robertson'of Sherbrooke, where one of her brothers, the Hen. Joseph Robertson still lives., One of her brothers, Andrew Robertson, was thirty years ago one of the leaders of the Montreal bar, of which subsequently another brother, W. W. Robertson, Q. C., was Batonnier. The death of one of her sisters, Mrs. Mary Robertson Gordon, the wife of Rev. D. Gordon, seven years ago, is still keenly felt as a severe loss to the Presbyterian church in Canada. But she left an indellible im- press upon its intellectual and missionary life. Miss Robertson's literary work was better known in the old country and the New England States than here, but in Can- ada her books found many appreciative read- ers, and warm admirers.

From the Whitby Chronicle. For years etc:ties of famous cures wrought by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills have appeared in the Chronicle. Daring this time we have been casting about for a local case of such a nature as to leave no doubt of the efficiency of these pills. We hive found several, but in each ease it proved to be a sensitive body who could not bear to have his or her name and disease made public. Recently, how- -••—•;<,,,Kcfm<44,4 74, ever, a rnost striking case came to our ears. Mr. Solomon Thompson lives on a beauti- ful farm on the west shore of Mud Lake in • Carden township, North Victoria. He was reeve id Carden and Dalton townships thirty-five years ago, before the counties of Peterbero and Victoria -were separated, and • he used to attend the counties' council at Peterboro. Mr. Thompson has, been a vic- tim of asthma for forty years or more. How- ever we will let hint tell his own story on that head. • .. k On October 15th,1806, - we took a trip to Mud Lake to visit tbelhaunts long familiar to us, and made it al deity and found it a pleasure to call upon Mr. Thompson and • learn from seeing him and hearing his ac- ccount of ib how he had been cured, For twenty-five years we had known him as a gasping, suffering asthmatic, the werst we ever knew who ever managed to live at all. We often wondered how he lived from day to day. On calling he met us with a cheer- ful aspect and without displaying a trace of his Old trouble. Being at once ushered into his •house, we naturally *made it our first business to enquire if it were all true about the benefits he had received from using Dr. • Williams' Pink Pills. "Beyond doubt,", said he. - "Hove long have you titled them,' and how many boxes have you used ?" he was asked."1 stetted a year ago and took eight boxes." We next asked him if he fele that the cure was permanent. "Well," said he, "1 have not taken any of the pills for three or four months. Still L a not entirely satisfied yet. You see my fa her, grandfather and great grandfather di d of • asthma. My people all take it sooner or later and it always ends their days. I have lost three brothers from the fatal thing. Knowing my family history it is hard for me to gain faith, fout I can tell you for nearly thirty years I never slept in bed un- til I took Pink Pills. As you must have known, I always slept sitting in the chair you now occupy. I hada sling from that hook in the ceiling and always sat with my „head resting in it while I slept. I now re- tire to my bed when the other metnbers of my family do." "How old are you, Mr. Thompson," " Seventytaix," was the re- ply, "and I feel younger than I did thirty years ago, I was troubled a great deal with rheumatism and other miseries, probably nervous troubles arising from want of sleep, buttnearly all the rheumatism is gone with the asthma." During the conversation Mrs. Thompson, a hale old ,, lady, the mother of thirteen. ehildren, came in aud after listeuiug • to her husband's recital of these matters, she took up the theme. "I never. expected that anything could cure Solomon," said she. "We were always trying to find something which would give him relief, so that he would be sleep nights, but nothing ever seemed to make -much difference. At first he took one of the pilleafter each meal, but after a time he incrersed the dose to two. We noticed he was greatly improved after taking two boxes and began ^ toehave hopes. Later on ,when we saw beyond 'doubt that he was much better, I reCem• mended the pills to a niece of mine, Mies Day, whose blood had apparently turned into water andmho had run down in health and spirits so bad that she did not care to live. 1Why, she got as yellow as saffron,and looked as if she would not live is week. You would hardly believe it," said Mrs. . Thompson, "but that girl was the health- iest and handsomest girl in the neighbor- hood before three months had passed, and all from taking Pink Pills." lire. Thomp- son was called from the room at this junc- ture to attend to some household daties,and Mr. Thompson resumed the subject of his marvellous euro. "You can have no idea," said he, "what it is to go through twenty- five years wiehout a goodenight's sleep with- out pain. I can find no words to make plaip to you the contrast between the com- forts I now enjoy and the awful life I had for so long. rhad a big family of mouths to feed aid had to work when at times I felt more like lying down to die. 1 would come in tit night completely tuckered out, bat even: that was no guarantee of rest. There was no rest for me. I seemed doom- ed to torture and continual misery. When my folks urged me to try DaWilliains' Pink Pills I thought it would be useless, but I had to do something or die soon, and here I am as tight as a fiddle." The old gentle- man shook his head to add emphasis to his last sentence, and looked like a man who felt joyful over a renewed lease of life, with all his old mietries removed. • After congratulating our old friend on his divorce from the hereditary destroyer of his kindred; we drove away. At many places in the neighborhood we opened. dis- cuesions upon :the case and found that all. regarded it as a marvellous cure. Where the Thompson family are known, no • person would have believed for a moment that any- thing but death would relieve him from the grip of asthma. Even, word that it writ- ten here can be verified by writing Mr. Solomon Thompson, Dalrymple post office, and an intimate acquaintance of twenty- five years enables the writer to vouch for the facts narrated above,and for,the veracity of Mr. Thompson in any statement he may make. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills cure by going to the 'root of the disease. They renew and build up the blood, and strengthen the nerves, thus driving disease from the sys- tem.

For the benefit of those who know nothing about this bulb I will say that it may be grown either in water, sand, peb- bles or solL I have found in years of growing that the bulbs put in water come to growth and bloom earlier than those grown in soil, but I have noticed frequently that the flowers en the water grown bulbs are more apt to be single. It may be it justhap- pens so,' but it is generally supposed that the manner of growth makes a difference. • It certainly is not an infallible rule, as I have had double flowers on water grown bulbs and vice versa. For quick blooming choose a dish perhaps 6 inches in depth and with an open top. Is bites used a large rose bowl, kit these are too small at the top and too large and deep to be wholly satisfactory. I think E1 eam better than porcelain. Having se- lected your MO, take your bulbs and Place themon a layer of sand, pebbles or shells, then Raths shells well around the bulbs in 'such a way that When the stromg roots begin to push: up from the bottdea of ths; recepteple they will net push the bulb -it- self out of the water. This viems to nie to be about the only thing to be looked out for. Water is the ohief essential to strong growth, and this must be supplied fre- quently even to bulbs water grown, as they .soon drink up what is placed in a shallow dish. I like te keep my dishes full of wa- ter, and it hi an easy Matter every niorning to fill the glasses. It is not neceseary that the bane should be covered with water, but it Is !Waggery that they should be about half submerged. Bits of -charcoal placed in the water will keep it sweet, and a little GlIGKOOIGIBi in the water will moist in nourishing the bulb. Last winter I grew some eight bill113.1 itt a box'and when I say eight I nsean eight large bulbe, and these were surrounded by some four or five smaller ones'so probably there were IMMO 80 or 40 bulbs altogether. The box was about 6 inchesbe deigth was 4 • Pipe Coloring. Even in a pipe coloring contest the in- evitable fakist plays his part. Said a to • bac:oculist to the writer: "We gave a prize to a competitor whose pipe was most, beau- • tifully tinted, but we discovered when too late that its color had been imparted arti- • ficially. What the exact stain was we could never determine, but it gave a natural hue to the bowl and had been used time and again at similar contests by the originator. 'A prize of 5 guineas -offered by a meshing tobacconiet-was very nearly awarded to a smoker whose pipe was of a lovely golden brown. Careful investiga- tion revealed the fact that its complexion was barely skin deep, and a few minutes' gentle -rubbing reduced it to its original state of whiteness. ' • "To color his pipe in a faultleee state of uniformity a winner of many prizes baked the bowl in a dish containing some color- ing solebion, This placed in an oven and cooked gently fastened the color. • , "A perfect spechnen of the fakist's art would have oarried the day, but its depth of color -a brown black of unusual elch- nese--excited suspicion, and put to the test the pipe was discovered to be hand tinted. But for the artist's ambition to attain something extraordinary itt the matter of color he would undoubtedly have come up first "-London Tit -Bits. Mary 'Morris' icier.

A new story about MTS. MOTTiS' eyes and Rossetti has appeared. Not long after the marriage Rossetti asked a few friends to a "consolation dinner." During the festivity there was .some dis- turbance outside the-windows,nind when it bad ended Rossetti went to one of them and drawing back the curtain showed a bull.in the garden tethered in the midst of the ruin he.had made. As his friends -es - claimed at the Presence of such an unruly element, Rossettl ruefully explained that this was his "consolation," though he feared he should have to get rid of it to- morrow.
