SEAFORTH, FRIDAY, Merch 31, 1899
The Dominion Parlianient.
- The debate on the a,ddress is still in prog-
ress in the Dominion ]arliament, and no
other business can be prooeeded With until
it is closed. When that Will be no living
man can say. The Oppoiition seem to be
afflicted by a. diarrhtea of words. Sir Charles
Tupper led off with a sPeech which lasted
four hours and fifty minutes. INicholas
Flood Davinmadea good second, And spoke
for four hours and thirty-five minutes.
These are the longest speeches of the session
=so far. The others have ranged from an
hour to two hours. And thus the time has
been consumed. Sir Charles Tupper, being
the leader of his party, and a man of un-
questioned ability, might b excused for his
--verbosity, but for a blather kite like Davin
to consume over four homes in talk, is an
imposition upon Parliament and the public,
and some way should he evised to abate
the nuisance. The diseussi 11?i has long since
lost intereat, both in the If ouse and the
country, as aside from the fi at few speeches
on either Side, it has been a cireary volley of
words, in which the Oppos tion accuse the
Government of broken pr mises, extrava-
gance and incompetency, while on the other
side the retort is made that all `promises
have been religiously kept, that the country
is prosperous and that the management is
capable and economical. The House a -
journed from Thursday until. Monday o
afford members who reside within ea
reach of their homes an opportunity o
spend the Easter holidays with their famili s.
The Ontario Legislature.
The legislative machine at Toronto hs
been working re.t high pressure during t e
past week, and members have been at it
morning, noon and night. When the Pre -
ier gets a hustle on he is a terror, and trifl a
do not stop him, and his efforts to close p
by Easter have been well seconded by t e
leader of the Opposition, and the intenti n
at present writing is to get through wi h
'the business Thursday night', and have f r -
mal progogation ear y next week. his is
likely the program *Lich will be carried
out. During the st week many public
and private bills ha4'e either been passed or
dropped, and the decks are now pretty well
cleared. The new revenue bills have been
passed and the eatimatee have gone through,
while nearly all the private bills that are to
live have received their third readings, and
now only await the essent of the Lieuten-
ant -Governor to become law. When he
bill incorporating the Hamilton and Cale-
donian Railway Company came up for third
reading it was amended by the clause auth-
orising a Sabbath service being stria& out.
The amendment was carried by the very
narrow majority of three. Both the Prem-
ier and theleader of the Oppositton 'voted
for the amendment. Had this bill been
carried in its original shape the p

urban and rural municipalities wriul
been affirmed. Fortunately this h
avoided for the present, but those
still old-faahioned enough to desire t

observed in this Province, should

of the
week is the submission by the Government
Of their schedule for the aiding of r ilways.
They propose to grant aid in this d rection
to the amount of nearly a million and a
quarter of dollars. .Most of the roads to be
aided have for their object the opening up
of what has become known as New Ontario.
These appropriations met with the almost
universal approval of the Legislature, and if
they are properly hedged about by restric..
tions may poseibly be justifiable on the
grounds that they are intended to aid in
the development of the ProvinceI.
What He Voted Against.
Before passing the Laurier aid Tarte Sen.
at s resolutions, Mr. Hardy voted down the
following resolutions which were moved in
amendment:
That this House desires te express its
hearty appreciation of the great public ser-
vice rendered by the Senate of Canada with
reference to the Yukon bill and the Drum-
mond County Railway bill;
" And that this House deprecates any
change in the constitution of the Senate by
which the equilibrium between the several
,provinces and the Dominion of Canada, as
established by the British North America
Act, may be disturbed."
' These resolutions voice the opinion of
all the independent -minded citizens of Can-
ada.
By voting against them Mr. Hardy has
(dearly revealed the lengths to which he will
go at the dictation of Ottawa.
The above is from the Toronto Mail. We

the entire sentiment of the
ent people in this province is
in favor of making the Senate, in some way,

have 't a representat've instead of an ap-
point, d body as at present. Public senti-
ment', therefore, in Ontario, will not only
justify Mr. Herdy .in voting sdown the
amendments of the Opposition, but it will
justify him in carrying the reaolutigie he
submitted to the Legislature, not as a tinal-
itY, but a a step io the right direction and
t
as the bes th t otta be got at the present,
time. .
T e Filipino Struggle.
Continumis and severe fighting has been
in progress durin the petit week in the
vicinity of Manila, between the American
troops anc. the Filipino insurgents of Again-
aldo. The American trops set out to cap-
ture Malolos, the insergent capital, and the
Filipinos ma' e so s ubborn a resistance
that they hay had to fight every step f
Or way. It was sai that the Filipin s
.
were led by Agninal o in person. Th y
have, howeve , been d iven from point o
pont by the Amerie n soldiers, and t e
pribability is that ere this the latter have
reached and e ptured t e insurgent capital.
This should. el se hostilties, but whether it
will or not, rentains to be seen. The Fili-
pinos have been slaugh ered and wounded
and captured by the t ouse.nds, while the
losses on the American side have been very
heavy also. °
Stop Whining.
The Conservative papers seem to think
that their piety leaders have a special
license to use Such language as they see fit
towards their opponents, and that thia. lan-
guage should be listened to and swallowed
by the Liberal's without a grimace. When a
Tupper or a hitney whacks a Laurier or a
Hardy, theae papers proclaim their per-
formanees an overwhelming orat rieal vic-
tory. But wh a they are replied o in kind,
they at once set up a whine esbout the
coarseness an abuaiveness of the Liberal
leaders. This is, to say the least; childish.
They should t ke their medicine like men.
If their leader receive more than they bar•
gain0 forean they are not able to defend
themselves, it would be more manly to keep
silenee. In t is way they would not 'direct
public attenti n to the weakness of their
own friends, a they now'do by blubbering
and crying ev ry time they are struck any
.ways hard, n referring to Sir Wilfrid
Laurier's grea speech in reply to Sir Charles
Tupper, the entree' Star says: I
The tone of the Premier's s eech was
utterly unlike the tone of the s eeches of
the Laurier of old ; it was person 1, bitter,
at timee even erging on coersene a."
Now, 1 it is uite true that Sir ilfrid did
give the old an a terrible castigation, per-
haps the niost severe he ever received. But
he brought it n himself. T say, however,
that Sir Wilfr d was objectio ably personal,
bitter or co rso, is to m ke a statement
which the fac s do not just fy. Whatever
may be charg d akainst Sir Weide no per -
on can truth f liy say that he is ever either
busive orces, se, either in manner or word.

ward his opp nents—abuse which has net
been surpasse fothittierness in recent see-
sions of the :louse. i
;
Now, we a pend a rrport of Mr. Hardy's
remarks as re orted in the Mail, as follows:
1
"The cry gainst officials, continued hlr.
Hardy, was a large! part of the stock -in -
trade of the •onorable,gentlemen on the op-
posite side of the Heinle. The'leader of the
Opposition h d illoried officials throughout
the length an ree.dth of the country. The
Conservative h d been told, '' Boys, pick
out your offic rs.' It I had been the most
gigantic, the oet,coreupt, scheme of brib-
ing _ever !known. Ile was surprised that
some of the o dale did not enter the eam-
pa gn in eel -defeece. The leader of the
0 positionh d, to; the disghst of fair -mind -
(it
ed men, tae'advantage of his position to
te rorize d ec nt men. Ile' spoke with in-
dignation, bit he asked the House to excuse
him, for hie i dignetioh was righteous, in
view of they& tempt there had been to create
a reign of terror in this country. There
had not been a constit eney in this province
ii
but where, u der his s ggestion, a slate ot
officials was repared to fill the places of
thotie Who w re to be dismissed. It was
the only poli y tho conservatives had, an
ear -Marked alley that all could under-
stand. He had almoat hoped that Boma
officials wo Id °Onus forward to defy the
man who t reatened them, to say they
would not ve rk, underisuch a man, to dare
. I
him to do is worst. Perhaps some had;
he did not k ow of any; but if there bad
been some w o had worked in self-defence
he could not lame them ender the circum-
stances," I
Surely no able boded men like Messrs.
Whitney, ,Mathetion r Carnelian, whose
great abiliti a in de ate the Mail never
wearies in ex oling, eh uld cemplain Of re-
,
marks such a the abo e, nor should they
_
whine about her bei g abusive. The fact
is that Sir ilfrid an Mr. Hardy are both
hard hitters; few ea hit harder when
L
necessary, bu no person who has ever -heard
them speak, von unde the severest prove-
eatien, could truthfully say that they are
abusive or ev n offensively or objectionably
personal. I fact both are invariab y cour-
teous, and gi e even the most bitte pills a
fair coating ,itf sweetness. Th Conserve,-
'
tive papers a ould cease whinin and take
to argument It would be a a reeab e
change for th ir readers. If Sir Che lea and
Mr.' Whitney have the good sense hey are
generally ere( itod with, they will n t thank
their organs or giving them away in the
manner they re doing.

A RNAIL Nem WEDETNG.—" O'Hooligaies
Weddin' " was presented last Friday night,
by elevl of the Village girls and boys, be-
fore the sagest number of people that ever
squeezed into the Foresters' hall. Children,
as soon 0,. they had eaten their supperta ran
for dear life to the hall, fearing they would
be late, and a few minutes after ohs o'clock
the first sleigh load arrived e,nd was fcd-
lowed immediately by cutters l sad snore
sleighs. The hall filled very quickly, but
several loads squeezed ia after it we lull;
and people were turned away by t e load.
When the curtain was drawn back before
the first act the hall was jammed, fu 1, and
the people near the door., by standing on
the backs of chairs, on the windows nd On
tables, rose, one behind the other, uaiti1 the
last row nearly reached the ceiling. The
play was written by a Blnevale boy, around
the plot of "Finnigan's Fortune," (which
was given in several towns in Heron over a
year ago) bolstered up lwith entieely differ-
ent jokes, stories and situations copied from
newspapers, magazines an bookie The last
act, however, with the exc ption of the bit
of plot, was original aid the b st of the
four. In the first act 'II oligan is a ho -
carrier, and gets a fo tu e fron Ikelso :
To celebrate the occasion pieni is held.

which are assembled: Mr. andrs.I Do

servant, employed by Mr. O'Hooli ga ;
Dolly, another Servant, and Billy Har er, a
news-bey,whont Mrs. O'Hooligan appro ch e
with "Now, me son, sing us a Wong an I 11
give you a sandwich." After asking if it its
a good one, he sings a song in good ted .
Before going home from the picnic, ount
Chimfake is I voted tothe chair. A pro-
gramme is giVen, and the audience ha - the
pleasure of listeeing to some good a ngs,
and the Dutchman's recitation. In t e
third act Pat asks his father for money, s
he wishes to get married, but as Pat wants
ten thohsand dollars and his father will oi-
ly give him one thousand until he see i e
deserveR more, the check is left untoucbed.
At last, in the fourth act, Wertber settle
for Mr. O'llooligan to coax him over to

on by his money, resolves to give it all to

ma , is highly pleased at this proposal.
Sh hi so happy because Pat anti '1. father

sin Rouge for the pleasure of the t happy

th t they all sink together. Mr. Smith re-
qu sts them to sing "De ole Keettucky
ho e, jes' to please me." At the conciu-
sios of the song the curtain is drawn on the
pia. The play Was rather .crude and dis-
con • tested, but wasbrim full of dean fun,
and was very loud y applauded. Of J course
it c ntained one or two old mother-in-law
jok s, but considering that it, was home
veri ten and home given, it was quite an en-
ter arise for a place the size of Blirevale,
and we are glad it was so successful, The
Cou • t, Countess, Wertber, Dolly and Mr.
Shi° per could scarcely have acted their
pat:better, while Mr. Smith was the best
of1: e mpany. he Count, during's long
co era tion with Mr. Smith, became so
vrtir that the lame lage on his goatee and

But the Count wasle true artist; he main-
tain d 1is dignity, although his fellow
act a co Id gee the large beads of cold per-
spi tiois break out upon his brow and irm
upp r Ii1i. The play has not been without
its h mok; for instance, the Count's chigger
was • ot a. real dagger but a steel belonging
to a 'aro ng set which a good lady had lent
him, wit particular warning not to let it
fall, 1 est the horn handle might break, or,
if it nust fall, to let it fall on the carpet.
