The Conservative papers object to
the calling of the Ontario Legisla-
ture on the 1.4th of januaey, on the
grounds that there are pretests now
pending against four of. the Govern-.
ment supporters and these protests
can not be tried while th0 -Legisla-
ture is in session. It is contended
that the courts may show that these
representatives have DO legal right
to seats in the House and that, con-
sequent13,-, they should not be allow-
ed to legislate for the people until
their right to sit in the L-gislature
is assured beyond doubt. There is
some force in this. But on the other
side„ the Premier very pro ierly says
that these protest trials may be ex-
tended almost indefinitely at the will
of the lawyers engaged aid that if
the Legislature. is not called together
until they are closed, the session will
be very late. and the Pro+inee will
be put to very serious inconvenience
for money to carry on its tffairs, as
all moneys for expenditure have to
be voted by the Legislature and the
supply is about exhausted The To-
ronto World suggests as i way out
of the difficulty tbat the two lead-
ers agree not to introduce' any con-
tentious legislation, but to permit
the supplies to be voted and any oth-
er necessary legislation pass unop-
posed and then adjourn the session le
