There have been no explosions or no revelatiens during the past week. The Gamey debate, now in its third week, still draga along, but it haa gOne to Eeed. It has disclosed loathing new and has been a weary waste of words and atale platitudes. It haa long since ceased to elicit intareet either in or outside the Legislature, although the newapapers hey° done more then the legislatore to give it an occasional breath of life. It is now said it is likely to come to a close thie week. On atuesday Mr. Foy moved an amendment, favoring the submission of the charges DO a committee of the Legialature, ard that is still being discussed, but the hape of all ie that the so-at.11ed debate may be terminated this week. The Oppoeition are quibe right in placing themselves on record by mean) of reEolutions, bat whet they hope to gain by prolonging to iveariness a profitless discus- sion, no cne can surmise, unlese it be to give the Gamey solicitors time te lick their case into presentable shape before they are re- quired to appear before the Coaimission If this is the case. they should awry up the solicitors and Lot fuither trespass ria the patience of a long etiffering public. Mr. Ross, several days ago. named the Commie- sionera, Justices Boyd and Falconbridge, gentlemen with whom even the Opeoeition cannot find fault, Both, if we mistake not: are of Conservative antecedents, altheugh they have been sufficiently long removed from politics to be entirely impartial. He has also made public the inetructions under which the Commisaioners will act, and they are wide enough to secure the moat search- ing inveatigatioe thit any reasonable person could desire. Everything, therefore, is now ready for tho investigation, and' the only obstacle is the flow of verbiage from Opposi- tion membera in the Legislature. But it is hoped this will be stinehed and the inve.t- ligation commenced next week. - Oar legislaters at Ottawa seem to be hastenine slowly, although considerable bueiness‘'has been got through with in a quiet way. One of the most important measures ever !submitted to the Canadian Parliament was iatrodueed a few days ago by Ron. Mr. Blair. -This wae the long promised meager() previding fue the appoint meat of a Railway Cr mmissien. air. Blair seems to have done his work well in the end. The measure is so comprehensive as to cover almost every point, and if it goes into operation as it left his hands, it will give the people the relief they heve so long been desiring and will keep the railway corporations in their proper plaoe. It will regulate freights, erevent discrimination and secure to the people many rights of whieh they have Icrig been deprived, and all this eau be done w:th so little cost that none need suffer a grievance becenae of too light a purse to have ib redressed. It slieuld, also, settle the much vexed cattle guard and drainage gleations. The bill has, as yet, only passed its first reading, and the indi- cations are that it will meet with the moat bitter oppo alma from the tools and crea- tares of the railway corporations in Parlia- mect. But if the Government and the free membera in Parliament keep a atiff upper lip, they sh-uni be strong enough t coatrol the situation and secure for the country a boon each as Parliament eola not often con- fer. The divisiuns oa this meaeure will show the members who are the bond slaves of the railways, and thoee who are free and can vote far their conatituents imbed of the corporations. The entree of all mem- bers will be closely watched by the people, and. those wbo prefer to eerve the corpora- tions instiad of their constituents will be well marked and they should be relegated to private life in the future. The next measure of greateet importance is the reeliEtributatia bat, which is expected this week. No hint has yet been given as to what it has in store for members, but no matter how fair it may be, it is not likely it will satisfy the Oppositicn and it may be strongly opposed. It is said that in so far as Ontario is coneerned that county bound. aries will be strictly observed. This is right. The Minister of Finance is also ex- pected to deliver the Budget speech this week, tinitil t hie deli ve ranee is made, those who are iaterested in the tariff changea will be more or less in doubt and will not resb easy. It is not likely, however, that any material tariff changes will be made. A depatetion Irepresenting the Ontario Farmers Association waited upon Sir Wil- fidd Laurier and ether members of the Do- minion Governmeat, on Wednesday, for the the purpose of expressing their oppoeitien to any increase in the tariff - to the grant- ing of subsidies to any railway enterprise whatever, ani to ask for an amendment in the cattle guard law and the law relating to drainage aeroes railway lands. Memoraridae had been prepared for submission to ehe Goverernent, and were supplemented by oral atatementa by Thomas Brooke, of Brant county ; Robert Meadordie and R. B. Mc- Leaut of South Huron ; F. E. Webster, of West Sitneoe, and others. Editorial Nenteel and IThe South Ontario Conse coaveritien a few days ago, den, the leader of the Oppo minion Parliament, ' was at and delivered and address. Hughes ard other wire -pull were also present. The son te aeleot a candidate foe th end gave Mr. Borden the u ination.
