SEAFORTH, FRIDAY, July 23rd, 1897 The Late Session of the Do on Parliament. The sesaion of the Dominion Paella which closed three weeks ago, and w may be considered as the first real ses under the guidance of the new Libel ernes:tent, was a peculiar session in ni ways. In the first phi* it was peenlia so far as the legislation was concerned the second place it was peculiar in so as the nature of the legislation was airiled, and in the third place it was pe iar because of the attitude of the res tive parties to that legislation. Fiest,t as to the legislation : The peculiarit this lies in the fact that 'the legisla which was promised at the opening of lession was not carried out, while leg tion which, in so far as the public kn was not then contemplated, was that wh was provided for and earned through. legislation promised ;at the opening of _session was a Prohibition Plebiscite, a n Franchise Act, and an act doing away w the Superaramation system, and an act -the enlargement of the St. Lawrence can These were the principal ones as we rem her them, if we omit the Tariff Act. these the only one carried out was that the enlargement of the canals. All others were dropped, to be taken up future sessions of course. The eche which were not more than mooted at opening of Shesession and. which w earrieslihrotigh, were the arrangement w the CatiediasePaoific Railway for the c struction file Crow's Nest Pass Railwa the fast scelimship line project, and the e tensiot t the Intercolonial Railway Montreal. Why it is that thdse were tak np andepassed through to the neglect of t others we do not know, except it be th the nation, through the lath Governme was, in a measure, committed to- all thee sad the preseno Government found it ne sary to fulfil to a certain extent the pro ises of their predecessors. , This, at a rate, has been given as a reason, and the !nay' he something in it. However, be th as it may, the legislation that was push through, was not that which formed t issues between the parties at the gener election. If it had been, it is very doubtf if it would have been sanctioned by t people. There are st resod many Liberals Ontario, at any rase, who were averse increasing the debt of the country to great an extent as these schemes involv However, there is this much to be said i their favor, that they are all schemes whic were in contemplation lay the late Gover meta, and another peculiarity in the favor, every one is to he carried out unde the new Goverament for a much less cost t the country than the late Government pr posed to expend in their carrying out. A other peculiarity is the fact that, with on single exception, none of theae scheme were opposed by the Opposition. Fo example, Sir Charles Tupper, the leader o the Opposition, spoke strongly in favor 41 the fast steatmihip scheme, the only adver criticism which he offered to it was that h feared it could not be carried out for th , price agreed upon between the Governmen and the contractors. All agreed upon th necessity for the enlargement of the canals ithe arrangement with the C. P. R. for th construction of the Crow's Nest Pass Rail way Was warmly approved of by Sir Cherie Tapper, while the necessity for the h-nmedi ate construction of that road was strongl advocated by his assistant, Hon. Mr. Foster In fact, the only real opposition which wa manifested to any of these echernes wa from the Ontario supporters of the Govern ment. Indeed it seemed the Governmen were pleasing the Opposition better than they were satisfying their own supporters Their supporters did not oppose thes enterprises becalms they thought there wa anything wrong with them, but simply be cau.se they thought the cost was more than the country could afford. The Government and the Opposition, however, did not seem to think so. That the carrying out of these schemes will add enormoualy to the public debt, there is no doubt. But the. people will, unquestionably, reap benefit from them. The works, while under construct- ion, will cause large sums of money to be put int h cireulation, and will .afford. employ- ment tor a large number _ of -work people. Besides this, it is claimed by those who up- held the aetion of the Government that the concessions which they have succeeded in obtaining from the C. P. RS in. the way of reductions in freights, will amount to more annually than will the intereat on the money svhich the Government gives to secure the censtruction of the Crow's Nest Pass Railway, to say nothing of the advant- age the Dominion will derive from holding large tracts of the best coal and mineral lands in British Columbia, of which they get poseession through this . deal. Should this prediction be fulfilled, the bargain may be a profitable one to the people after all. In defence of thelast steamship project, it is claimed that the Government will save fatly half of the bonus which they give to secure the service by the cancellation of mail contracts which this arrangement will enable them to make, so that in this way we will procure rapid and safe transporta- 'Win for our perishable products, such as eggs, fruit, etc., at just half the face value of the bonus stipulated and that this advan- tage will do more tha.n compensate for the outlay, by the actual savings which it will afford shippers and the consequent high prices that they will be able to pay the miniment hich sion Gov - any r in ; far con- cut- pee - hen, Jr of tion the isle- ew, ich The the ew ith for ads. of for for the at mes the ere ith on - y ; x - to en he at n t e, ces- m• sty re at ed he al ul he in to 80 e. ir o- n - se a e eiseelleinsissalsweresslaileses. farmers for their iproducter. And as it is with these, so is it with all the ether more or less expensive schemes which thp Gov- erment have negotiated and for which they secured the assent of Parliament at the tut session. While they will undoubtedly make very heavy direct expenditures; the indirect gains will, it is claimed, materially exceed the expenditure. Should this prove to be the case, the people will have ,no • cause to regret the expenditures, while ;the Govern - none will be entitled to credit for their courage and enterprise. But _should their Pxpeetations not be realised, the people will, most unquestionably, hold them to the strictest account_for their actions. They have thus assumed, politically speaking, a great riek. Many will admire their courage. The results will be pretty well known be- fore the next general elections come around. If expectations are realised, the Government will have made a strike, and will be certain of the greatest degree of popular favor ever extended to a Government in this country. If, on the other hand, it turns out that they have made a miscalculation; public con- demnation will certainly follow. There is nothing to Which the piblie are so suscep- tible as enemas, and there is nothing they are so sensitive to as failure. . So far as any person can judge at the present time, the Government have made a big strike from a party or political point of view. It is a rare thing for the leading planks in the policy of a Government to re. ceive such warm approval and such little criticism from their political opponents as the policy cf Mr. Laurier's Government re- ceived during the recent session. And in addition to this, their preferential trade policy struck a popular chord, not alone in this country, but in the Mother country as well. Nothing that has ever been done in Canada since Confederation, has brought this country into suck favorable notice throughout the British Empire, and it has served to give the country an advertisement the world over, such as she never had be- fore. However the legislation of the past session may turn out, there is no disputing the fact that Sir Wilfred Laurier and his colleagues have succeeded in directing to this country a share of creditable notice which it has never received before under any Gov- ernment. In this respect, also, the session has been remarkable. It is, also, Only fair to say, that while they have made -provision for lavish expenditure en public works,they have been remarkably economical in the matter of departmental expenditure. Many, if not all the departments are more cheaply conducted now than they were under the old regime, and additional .savings are promised along these lines as time prcgress- es and opportunity affords. This ,too, is the real test of a Government's economy or the reverse. So that with savings in the 'administration and profitable investments in the way of public improvements, if they should turn out to be profitable, as every person hopes they may be, we may fairly look forward to an era of prosperity, the commencement of which seems already to have set in. MEM! A Shame ! Under the above heading the Toronto Star gets off the following: The sidewalk along Gould street skirting the front of the beautiful grounds and handsome home of the Education Depart- ment of the Ontario Government is of wood and worn out, worn so badly that the city has been forced to take up a board every three or four feet, and fill in the space with (Anders, not a pleasant sort of walk by any means. The city is, of course, responsible for this walk, and the Government property being exempt from taxation, the coat of the work must come out of the general funds of the corporation. The Government has been appealed to time and again for a year to contribute at least a portion of the cost of a walk that borders its property alone, but with the true miserliness which character- izes the Ministry, it has steadily declined to contribute a cent. The result is that hun- dreds of visitors to the Charities Convention have seen a shamefol sidewalk fronting the home of one of the chief departments of the Ontario Government, while citizens see it daily. The least that can be said is that Messrs. Hardy, Ross and their colleagues ought to feel ashamed. A. shame it is truly, that such a walk should exist in the , city of Toronto. But the shame is not to the Ontario= Government but to the citizens and council of Toronto. The Normal School is one of the largest and most imposing educational institutions in the city. It is entirely maintained by the province. There are employed in it a large etaff of teachers and officials, all of whom are paid by the province, but who reside in the city and spend their money there. In addition to this it is attended by three or four hundred students, nearly all of whom come from the country and spend their money in the city. Altogether the institu- tion is the medium through which many thousands of dollars ere bronght from out and are spent in the . city every year. And still, notwithstanding the immenee pecuniary benefits which the people of To- ronto derive from that institution every year, they begtudge the paltry sum -that is required to keep the sidewalks around the buildings in decent, repair and they have the "cheek " to ask the province to do it for them. Truly this is a shame. Toronto is indebted to the province a thousand times more than the province is indebted to the city. Were it, not for the provincial institutions established and maintained there and the business they bring to the city, the streets of the city would be a cow pasture and there wmild be little need for sidewalks. Although the province actually furnishes the lite blood for Toronto, its people and press are continually growling because the province does not gire more to- wards keeping up its fire protection force, its sidewalks and its streets. Such,ingratie tude is, to say the least, not creditable The relations which have long existed be • tween the Toronto Mail and Empire, and the World of the same city, have been high- a ly entertaining to those who take no stock s politically in either. These journals have been hhving a race for leadership and d influence in the Conservative party. The , more lively and aggressive of the two is the a World, which- has never hesitated to pour . s hot shot into its rival with, to all appear- a ances,:even more zest and energy than if k the journalistic rival had been a political m enemy- as well, instead of a worker in the t same camp. The World has -been giv- t lug its opponent & few inane tbrnsts recently, and the Mail, a few days 'ego brought down upon the head of its tor. mentor this thumper. It says : "La Pa- " trie, Ma Tarte'e paper, now wants to "abolish the Orangemen. It looke as if Is - "reel Tarte: and 'W. F. Maclean have at " last found the basis for a coalition." The World is Mr. W. F. Maclean's paper. We have not noticed that it has sUspencled pub- lication yet. A. Notable Gathering. One of the most notable gatherings ever convened in this country was the Epworth League convention which- opened in To- ronto on Wednesday, and closed on Sab- bath. There were fifteen thousand delegates in attendance -at the convention, and of these ten thousand were from the United States, nearly every state in the_Unioe being represented. The delegates were of .botla sexes and of nearly all ages. The 'League is under the auspices of the Metho- dist church inCanada and theUnited.States, and -represents all branches of that denomin- ation. It is designed mainly for young people, but both old and young were repre- sented at therconvention, and many of the ablest men in the church, both in Canada and the United States, were present and took pare in the proceedings. The dele- gates were welcomed to Ontario and to Toronto in an excellent opening speech de- livered in Massey Hall, by Premier Hardy. The meetings were divided up amongst the several churches in the city, , and several were being conducted simultaneously, so that all had an opportunity of participating without undue crowding. The convention was favored in many ways. The weather was delightful throughout; the citizens of Toronto, irrespective of denominational die Unction, gave the visitors e.hearty welcome and did everything in their power to make their visit pleasant and to enable them to carry away a good opinion of the capital city of the province,aswell as of the province itself. - f Such a gathering as this is important, in so much as it must give to the grand cause which it represents an impetus which can- not fail to be productive of great moral good in the country, while at the same time it will serve to inculcate friendship between the two peoples and to unite them io bonds of fellowship which, from a national point of view, cannot fail to have the best results. It is somewhat significant that just at the time when the politicians on both aides Of the line, and especially on the American side, are doing all in their power to estrange the peoples and to keep them on terms that are, to say the least, not as friendly as they should be, we have the religious denomina- tions using their beat influence to cultivate feelings of the closest friendship and great- est amity. It is to be hoped that the good efforts of the Epworth Leaguers will greatly outrival the mischief which the politicians are trying to doby their unfriendly tariffs and their Alien Labo,r Laws, to say nothing of their loud and boastful talk. It was -de- cided to hold the next annual convention. at Indianapolis. IIANNINIMMMmuNIIIMMI Editorial Notes and Comments. .Chicage,proposes to tax bicycles $1 each and other Vehicles $2 to $12 each, and spend the money on roads. Now, if Toronto would do this it might be able to build a new sidewalk around the - Normal school grounds. A Toronto man has just been sentenced to jail for thirty days for committing per- jury in the police court. If the law officers throughout the country were stricter in re- gard to this matter, that most detestable and unfortunately common practice of lying while under oath, would be effectually stamped out, but thirty days' imprisonment seems to be a very inadequate punishment for such an offence. Last week the Brussels Post passed its quarter century mile stone. For twenty-five years it has endeavored to enlighten the people of its vicinity by giving them weekly budgets -if newsy news and it has done fall well. It is now one of the leading papers, the leader we might say, in East 'Huron, and under the able management of Brother. Kerr it is ever ready to champion the good camas. We extend to our esteemed con- temporary our best wishes and hope it may still contrinue to prosper and flourish, and that the worthy editor may still be using the editorial scissors when the turning post in its century run has been reached. A Colorado millionaire had a disagreement with his better half. They agreed to imp- arat-e, and he allowed her twenty thousand dollars a year to live upon. The wife ulti- mately grew tired of this arrangement, and returning to her husband, insisted upon re- suming her place in his home. This so vexed the heart of the millionaire that he preferred death to resuming marital rela- tions with his apouse, and he went into his garden and shot himself. A contemporary commends him in that "he had at least the grace nob to shoot her before he blew out hie- own brains." This fact will be a tri- bute to his memory. A meeting of the Dominion Alliance, com- posed of delegates from the various tem- perance and religious organizations, was held in Toronto last week. The meeting was a most harmonious one, and was re- markable for the absence of the beer garden scenes which disgraced a similar meeting of the Alliance last year. The Mail, however, is not satisfied with the meeting. It says it was partizan because the speakers failed to score and scold the Liberal Governments for faneied grievances,and did not pass reso- lutions condemning these Governments be- cause they have not accomplished impossi- bilities in behalf of the temperance cause. The Mail is non -partizan, but its love for temperance is scarcely equalled by its de- sire to have the Liberal Governments' em- barrassed. G Our good neighbor, the oderich Signal, th has worked itself ina white heat oyer a rumor that Mr. M. C. Cameron has deter- mined to have his son-in-law, a Mr.Galt, ap- pointed to the . position of. postmaster at Goderich, should that office become vacant, and threatens to knock down the moon nd break, tip the great Liberal Party should uch an 'outrage" be perpetrated.. We would advise oar contemporary that it is angerous to, get into such a state this raren . weather. At first we thought the ttack was only temporary and would eoon ubside, but as the weeks pass round, it eems to increase in virulence. We do not now what -truth there may be in the ru- or that has so aroused the asual good emper of the Signal, nor do we know any- hing of the merits or claims of the son -in- - ls* Galt for the position, but° we do know, and we have no _hesitation in saying, that'll he is properly qualified to discharge the duties of the position, and is entitled to it from a party point of view,the fact that he is Mr. Cameron's son-in=law should not debar him from it, nor should that fact secure it for him if he is not qualified for nor entitled to it. Although, we are equally ,free to Nay, that all other things, being equal, his rela- tionship to Mr. Cla,meron and Mr. Cameron's desire in the matter, should have very con- siderable weight with the department when the appointment is being made. As, what- ever Mr. Cameron's faults and failings may be, it must be admitted that there is no other man in the county who has fought so many hard battles for, and who has made greater sacrifices in the interests of the party, than he has. This is a very impor- tant point that the Signal has, evidently, - not taken into its consideration, or although it might not approve of an appointment that was objectionable to it, it would "talk lower." The Hamilton Templar is ot pleased with the proceedings of the recenl Alliance Con- vention at Toronto. That, after all, is not , surprising. Had the covention been turned into a red hot Tory caucus and passed votes g of censure on the Ontario Government and condemning Mr. Laurier for hot submitting the plebiscite vote this year, the. Templar and those connected with it wou1d now be happy. But because the Alliance did neither of these things t e Templar is angry. According to the Templar, some of the oldest and strongest temperance advo- cates in the Province are simply time serving political partisans, and thenly true tem- perance men are the Editor f that journal and them -few who coincide wi h it. It sees is to us that the Templar is a good deal more Tory than Temperance, and the sooner it discards the temperance mask, the better for its own consistency. At present the raising and feeding of hogs . is by far the best peying i dustry for the farmers of Ontario. In the days when peas . were selliug at 60c per bushel and barley at 75e to $1 the farmer thought $6 per cwt. a good price for dressed hogs l Surely,theni it must be a bonanza when peas are down to 450, barley 25o and oats 26e, with hogs bringing $5.75 live weight and very likely soon to be worth $6 and over. In this in- dustry the farmers have a veritable gold mine, if they will onlydsee to it and raise the right kind of hogs and feed . them on peas and barley, whichl our own country is adapted for. The demend et present for Canadian pork is greater than the supply, and English and Scotch dealers tell us that it will still grow greater if ive only keep on as we have begun. The London Free Press says "Speaking at Mr. Whitney's meeting at Dundee, Col. Kerns, M. L. A. for Halton, referred to Hon. Mr. Dryden's administration o the Guelph farm. To show how badly the in- stitution is mismanaged, Cl. Kerns read the repot of the college advisory board, all good Grits, which showed the board was dreadfully " disappointed " at the uncleanly fields and other parts of the institution land." Yes, but Mr. Kerns did not tell his audience that he was reading from a report several years old, and that the defects then complained of have since been remedied, and that it was because of these defects that the then farm manager was released and another and a more efficient one em- 'ployed in his steed. Of course Mr. Kerns knew all this very well, and the Free Press knows it, but if they were to state the facts as they exist they would have no case against the farm management and the Gov- ernment. And as it is with this, so is it with regard to nearly every other charge made against the Ontario Government. When the proper explanation is Made, the charge melts away like a lump of snow be- fore a July sun. The recent death of Mr. Malcomson,, Master in Chancery for this county,. causes a vacancy in the position, which, we understand, the members for the county will recommend not to be filled. Some years ago, when Mr. Malcomson was ap- pointed, for some reason or other, the fees were commuted and were allowed to go to the Government, and in lieu of them Mr. Malcommon has been receiving a stated salary of twelve hundred and fifty dollars a year. Owing to changes in the composition of the courts and for other reasons, the business of the office has been very largely diminished of tete years and the duties and fees corre- spondingly decreased. Since Mr. Malcom - son's illness the dutiful of the office have been performed by Junior Judge Doyle in con- nection with his judicial -duties. We un- derstand the proposition now is to permit Judge Doyle to continue to discharge the duties and allow him the office fees, and in this way effect a saving of perhaps eight hundred or a thousand dollars a year. This may be a disappointment for those who are applicants for the position, but it will be in the public interests, and that is the -'main point to be considered. , News of the Week.

Mrs. Hullistoa has been in delisate health for about two years, but had only been confined to bed for about six weeks. She was a severe suf- ferer* but she never complained. Mrs. Hul- liston's maiden name was Grace Cumming. She was the eldest daughter of the late John Cumming, and sister of Mr. James Cumming, of Egmondville. She was born in Scotland fifty-two years ago, and came to Canada, when about two years of age, ,with her parents and other members of her family, She was married to Mr. Robert Hulliston about thirty-two years ago. He died twenty-one years ago. She leaves a family of four daughters and one scan They are all at home but the eldest, who is Mrs. Henry Forsyth. Mrs Hulliston was a par- ioularly amiable and kind hearted woman. She was greatly beloved by her own fam- ily, and was very highly respected by all , who knew her. She was a consistent mem- ber of the Egmondville Presbyterian church, and was one who, although unostentatious in manner, never permitted an opportunity to do good to go unitnprove1.

It is a paradise for children is unsurpassed as a resting place for physically ,or mentally tired men or women, and the clear, bracing, invigorating breezes of Lake Huron make it one of the healthiest spots in Canada. The scenery, also, is charming, while for those who delight in boating and fishing, they could not select a better spot, as when the lake is too rough for either of these sports, the river is always available. In view of these advantages it is not surprising that Bayfield is growing in importance every year as a popular summer resort. A whole family can live here, either privately in.a cottage or under canvas, or in an hotel, for a month, for less than it would take. to keep one individual at most of the large summer resorts for a week, anol have more for the money in health and enjoyment Mr. T. J. ;Marks, one of the mut enterpris- ing residents of the village, has erected several comfortable and commodious cot- tages on the top of 'the hill overlooking the lake on the town side. From these a per- son can have a full view of the lake and noun the full benefit of the lake breezes,. without, removing from their own verandas. These cottages small occupied this season. The rental is very, moderate. Mr. Jewett has also a number of equally comfortable and commodious cottages erected in a cedar clump adjoining his grove. These, also, are beautifully and pleasantly situated;although not quite so convenient to the'village as Mr. Marks' cottages. These are all o-cupied. Besides these there are ]numerotts tents, which are occupied by different families and who say they prefer this mode of life to either living in a cottage or boarding in an hotel. There are three very comfortable hotels, which are filling up fast. Visitors come from the vatdous cities of the province as well as from Detroit and other American cities. This seaadn promises thus far, to surpass all formerseasons itt the way of ummer -tourists and reeidents. There is also every convenience here that can be ound in almost any town in the country; The stores are all well conducid and carry good stocks of whatever may bte required by owest prices available. There rompers, cottagers, or visitors wainldl staisto thee n additional attraction this year.
