The proverbial calm has succeeded he storm. Now that the debate on the ddreee • is eloeed, members seem to have ettled down to business which, although erhaps not as exciting as Yukon scandals, i infinitely more profitable to the country. he several committees have got to work, rtd a vat iety of bills have been introduced y private members. The estimates for the oming year's expenditures have been laid efore Parliament, and the Finance Minister 1 as promised his, budget speeth for Tuesday ext. The esthrtates amount to $46,286,- 51 O. This is $1,613,936 less than tle a ount granted for last year's expenditure, tit considerably more than was asked. for the main estimates last year. Until the s pplementary estimates are brought down, Which usually come about the close of the session, it will. not be possible te say whether the total expenditure proposed will 1 e larger than last year or not. The estim- tea contain an appropriation of $46,500 for t e re-eonstruction of the breakwater in oderich harbor, and $20,000 for dredging t e harbor. This should make the people f the couety town feel happy. There is as - et no word of the new re -distribution bill, rohihition,-TvZo Kinds of Advo . °sites. A meeting composed of a deputation from the Dominion Alliance and the members of the Dominion Parliament favorable to pro- hibitory or temperance legislation, was held s "n Ottawa one day last week. The object f this meeting, as nearly as we can make at from the published reports of its pro- eedinga, was to devise some means of securing from Parliament an expression of opinion on the prohibition question. It is not our intention just now, however,to refer to the objects or aotions of this meeting. e desire, rather, to point out the views of he two different factions into which the eeting seemed to be divided. This we hall &lay giving a quotation from a speech on each side. The report says : Mr. Henderson poiated out that the real obstacle in the way of prohibition was the Laurier Government. Phat Government had declared that it would do nothing for prohibitionists, and the only remedy re- maining to the temperance people was to turn out the present Administration. He knew that ,there were a good many so- called temperance men who would not like to adopt ouch a course, but if they were in earnest there was nothing else for them to do. Mr. Henderson, we may explain, repre- sents the county of Efalton in the Commons. His remarks will readily indicate the com- plexion of his politics. We think we may safely say that,Mr. Henderson is a politician first, last and all the time, and a temper- ance patriot afterwards. In -deed we might go further and say that Mr. Henderson, judged by his words, is a demagogue. It would be interesting, however, had he 'ex- plained N 'hat, in his opinion, the tem er- ance peo le a,nd particularly the proh bi- tionists, ould gain by following his advice. , Supposin the temperance people were to turn ors the present Government, hew much far her along the road to prohibition would th y be than they are now ? Vho would succeed the present Governmei t if they were turned out? Sir Charles Tu sper and his colleagues, including Mr. Hensler - sou, are the natural Successors of the pres- ent Goternment.. A government of the same stripe politically had been in power for eighteen years, and wl at clid they do for prohibition ? Is their ecord such as to justify the temperancle pe ple in believing that, if they follow Mr. H nderson's advice, his friends will do more for temperance in the fixture than they ihave done in the past? Have the temperanceipeople any pledges or promises from the iConservative leaders that they vein:do more for prohibition' than is being done by the present Governinent ? Mr. H nderson knows full well that they have not. He knows that if the preeent GovernMent were turned from power to- morrow„ and a Conservative Government were installed in their place, the prohibi- tionists would be as far from their goal as they are now. And yet, knowing all thie, he is de lgogue enough to give the advice we quo e ebove. We refer particularly to the absurdity and dishonesty of Mr. Renders n's remarks, because other well meaning and sincere people talk in a similar strain, red we want them to think how little the would gain and how much they might loe by pursuing such a course. If the Cons rvative leaders would pledge them- selves th t if returned to power they would give a prohibitory act on t e strength of the plebiscite vote, then it w uld be quite proper for all Who think tha such a law would be beneficial, to oast a ide all party and other considerations, an vote accord- ingly. But until thia is done it would be folly, yea it would be orimina , for support- ers of the present Govern ent to vote against them, as in doing so they would simply be actuated by a spir t of revenge and not by a desiro to acco plish good for their cherished principles. f ,e hop , there- fore, that no temperance e eotor will be dragooned into doing anyth ng a wrong and so foolish. , In marked contrast to the a vice iven by Mr. lienderson, is that given by Mr Rich- ardson, Liberal member, of " innip He said ; The only thing to advano the use of prohibition is to oppose the el otion s Par- liament of any man who will not! ledge himself clearly and in writing to vot for it. If they could elect a majorit so pl dged, they might do something, b t unti they dial so they mightns well stop talkin Mr. Rilphardson knows what he ia t• lking about. He hits the right nail fairly the head. If people want prohibi ion th can have it, hut they can only ge it in t way Mr. Richardson proposes. T ey mu start at the fonntaini head. If pro ibition s are honest, and there is a majorit of t m in the country, they can send to Parlia t at the next election a majority f rep • a:rite- tives pledged to support proh bition, nd if they do this they can have a pro tory law within a year alter the ne t Parha ent‘ meets, no anatter what politi I party may be in the ascendency. And tl e same p blic sentiment bat will elect such a parlia nent will be str ng enough to secure the enf roe- ment of su h alaw if placed n the stritutes book. Un il prohibitionists a e prepared to do this, th y should cease sh lating c4bout the perfidy of politicians an I the advan- tages of a rohibitory law. T ey can have such a law f they only have t e sense to go about getti g it in the right a d only prac- ticable way But, even with this schem , there must be good faith on both sides. Success will not be accomplished if those ho pledge -the candidate or if those in whos, interests he is pledged, forget their tem •erancse prin- ciples and the pledge they las ve .made, or the pledge that has been made in their be - hal , and vote for the condi ate of their pany irrespective of his p sition on the temperance issue. This .has een done in the past, and it is this sort f thing that has disgusted politicians an made thein clut6 of the pledges of prohib tionists.

There is a bill now before Parliame t to increase the tax to $500 per head, wh ch, it is hoped, will be prohibitory. • ' Hon. J.

Sir Cherles Hibbert Tuppe , in a speech delivered by bim recently in Victoria; British Columbia, is reported as saying that he intends returning to Ott wa shortly to resume his seat in Parliament and that he has many additional damagt g charges to make against Yukon officials. If Sir Hib- bert s frtends are wise they will make him keep his mouth closed, as t e further he goes in this direction the w rse he will make it for them.

Mr. White a native of Ireland and was born in the county of Down, near Belfast, i the year '1823, and in March, 1847; he as married .'tis Miss Margaret MeMorran, who still surs 'vives him.

If there is no truth in the assertions we made, why did he Government supporters get riled ? We eimed at the sore spots, and by the commo- f tion raised in the enemy'al Camp, our aim inust have been good. He says the last 'Speaker ispoke " violently" l and made "wild ,assertions" on the strength of the fact that he was the last speaker. I was the haat 'Speaker, and am ready to d fend any st4te- ment I made, I might say that I framed my remarks with the expee ation of taksng Second place. Let us examr e some of the so-called " wild assertions." The statement Was made that the Gover ment does not issue an auditor's report. Your corres- pondent might have chosen ,some less con- lispicuous way of displayin his ignorance of this matter than by statin , in a paper so Widely circulated us THE ExPosrrou,, that they do, If Mr. McFadze n has an audi- tor's report he has somet in which I o not think Mr. Hardy, :in his moat eangui e moments, ever dreamed of. e certainly h a curiosity which should pc) mend a hi h figure as a novelty. Yeur worthy scribe leo assails your humble serv t for " garb - 1 g." This point is easily! e plained. One e eaker, on behalf of the Government, c aimed that John Sandfield cDonald left a surplus of something (wee $ ,000,000, su a- ject to certain reductions. T eir own cam- Paign book states that he lef a surialue of over $7,000,000. That is, hese fi ure vehich were out down as low as possi le n cent. by these embryo poll Wane.
