The Japanese have occupied Wiju, -on, the southern bank of the Yuba and the two opposing forces are now only divided -by that stream, The Rtiettiftne heve Ma4e 'their eeneorehip almeetii etsiet WI that of ithe jape snoso, snit eorefeertiently it le not likely that there will he inteeh real Was naive until the ootual' oligb of Arno 06600.1W8idi MAY 118 ant day new, although the. litteelan4 will des for It it* long as they daft; PArlfeeifellts; The Dominion Parliament met at= ter the Easter heliday's on' Tuesday and proceeded promptly to business. The bill amending the • agreement with the Geaud Trunk Pacific Rail- way Company was the first order. The Premier introduced the hill in a short speech. Mr. Borde , leader_ Of. the Opposition, made fierce attack 'oa the bill, conten ing that . the concessions given ti e company ire excessive and that t e proposed expenditure is eit I irely o u t of keeping -with, the resources 'Of the country and is really unneces- sary to secure the object sought, an outlet for thettraffic. of the great and -growing Northwest. He con- cluded by moving an amendment em- bodying the policy of the Opposi- tion, ,which is along precisely the 'same Imes as the resolution moved by Mr. Borden last sessien. The discussion is still in progress and will likely be dentinued for- sever- al days. This question, it would see,m, is likely to form the main is- sue between the two parties at.the next eleetion, The Ontario Legislature also re- sumed. on Tuesday and proceeded promptly to business. The new as- sessnaent act was considered and sev- eral deems of it passed in commit- - tee. The Petty -piece bill got an --air- . ing last wee1 . and was referred to a special committee for considera- tion, which is genteel way of lay- ing it on the shelf for this session, as the Government will take good eare that it does not come .to the surface again this session. The bill of the Premier for the taxation of railways will take the place of the Pettypiehe bill. It provides a tax of $30 a mile on all railways in the Province, over 100 miles in length, andean additional tax of $10 per mile on a seeond or double track. On railways' of less than one hundred miles in length the tax will be $15 per mile for one track and $5 per mile for a second track. The exist- ing tax is $5 per mile all round. The tax last year amounted to about thirty-five thousand dollars. Under the new rate it will realize to the treasury over two hundred thousand dollars. It seeras to us a much simp- ler and. less expensive method than tbat proposed by Mr. Pettypiece and equally effective. The principal dif- ference being that the whole of the , additional revenue goes into the pro- ' vincial treasury, whereas Mr. Petty - piece proposes the larger percentage of the additional tax will go to the municipalities. We do not know what position the Opposition will take in reference to this measure, but there is little doubt but it be carried. A few days ago a large number of prominent members of the • Methodist l'ind Baptist churches w ed on the Premier to urge upon him the desirability of passing such leg- islation as will effectually do away with the drinking bars and the, treat- ing practises, in accordance with pledges formerly- given the temper- ance people. by the Government. The Premier said he would reply in writing within forty-eight hour's, giving fully and explieitly the course, the Government tntend to pursue on this all importa-nt subject.- At the present writing this reply- has not been •made public. rt need scarcely be said, it is being 'awaited with a good deal of curiosity by some and anxiety by others. "on a special I train Tuesday morn- " Wein tittle far the vote in the Leg- islature" 1 , The secret at all this attention, which WO haVO no doubt is not ov- or1r agreeable to the worthy recipi- ent. is that Mr. Stook was one of th three members of the Legasia- tuito who happened to be absent last we k on the occaeion of the all night ,sesaion when the Government wee° lighting off a 'division on Dr.. Beettie Nesbit's two cent a mile fare rerlution. He had gone to. his hom in Tavistock the previous Shturday and did not get back to his legislative duties in time for the session on the following Monday and on Monday evening, when the Governreent were- in distress, it seems a special train was despatch- ed froth Toronta for him and it , brought him to the citya few min- utes in advance of the regular train, he ce all this notoriety. The fol- 1o' lo ing dialogue in reference to the m tter took place in the House be - tote the Easter adjournment: In the Legislature on Friday the' lerer of the Opposition asked the G vernment tJ if it Was true that a special. trainbad been sent up to Ttfristocke for Mr. Valentine Steck, the member for South Perth, on I new it was irragular to ask the T;esday morning. Mr. Whitney said i k question -without notice, but he thought the Government would not object to clear the matter up. The ' Premier did not know tb t Mr. Stock had come cloven by speoi 1 tail'. i Then Mr. Whitney otked Mr. Sto k if he could enlighten the House, but the member for South Perth kept silence, and the Attorney -General beeke in with the remark, very tart- ly; "This is not regular." Mr. Whitney -I know it is -not reg- ular, and I said so at first, but the House would like to get the inforina- tion, and it will save putting a for- mal question. Some people say it wr its a• ' stock " treinl the hon, gen- tleman cameitdown on. ,The Premier who had been posted bY Mr, a x Bowman, the chief Gov- ettenient whip, Mid he now under, etood Mr, Stook did eome down on it eneeisil train, 10, St, iJoin-At the Government expense f lion, Mr, Hose -That ie oll I know aheut 10 tiff§ ie the lint I have ineted about ft, Ilon, M -ii, a9i§0.11 Itiettilmi in a eeernful tone . if the Opposition thought that Mi, Steele woo going to Walk all the wtty to Tofonto, r" 1 Wiali to sey tnot 1 myself. or. renged for that special train in order te get Mr. Stock here," said Mr, Bowman. Getting Notoriety. Some men seek notoeiety while other men have notoriety thrust up- on them. Mr. Valentine Stock, the genial but retiring member for South Perth in the Ontario Legisla- ture, seems to be of the latter class. He has gained considerable notori- ety lately and has Veen the subject of editorial reference in several Tory papers. Eve a some of the Reforra papers have also paid their corapli- lrItirltS to Mr. Stock, as evidenced by • Elie following pun which we take from the Toronto Star.

The Toronto World of a recent date directs attention to a state of affairs in the Ontario Legislature which, to say the least, is very dis- graceful and is not creditable either to that body or to the Pro- vince. If the Zondition of affairs is as the World points ieut, it deserves credit for its courage in directing at- tention to a most abominable abuse a d one which, for the credit of all' c ncerned, should at once b -stopped. bp practise too, is ell the- ore re- rkable . as -there is not, an ins. er been in ernneotion with the ne Leeislature • a bar where in- toxicating liquors are dispensed. There is just one omission in the World's statement. It sbould have given the names of the members who so far forget themselves as to trans- gress the bounds of decency. It is hoped that now attention has been directed thus publicly to the matter the transgressors will amend their ways and cease to disgrace them- selves, their constituents and the body of which they are members. The World says: "The Ontario Legis• lature is not free, from the influence of liquor as di- rectly exerted for the purpose of ser- ving both political and private intek- eats. It is a notorious fact that the enormous railway subsidies voted at a resent session cif the legislat were carried through in an all-night session, in which liquor flowed in eopious quantities. It is no secret that the meoabers- of the legislature have been deliberttely incapacitated wiLli liquor in order to keep them a- way from a eritical party division in the bouee, or to exclude them film a vitteen a conaraittee in which heavy corparate interests were at stake. These practise e are, no stran- ger to e the present session of the Ontario legislature. The party has its tool and the corporation has its agent to affect with alcoholic stim- ulant what, they could not secure if every m.embee registered his vote in strict sobriety. ,! "That the members who have thus - been used represent • only a smail fraction of the strength of the house it is needless to explain. The evil is nevertheless glaring and potent. One member incapacitated for -his legis- lative duties may be the means of turning an issue agaiest the inter- ests of the people. . "There have been at the present session of -the legislature 'members too intoxicated to attend divisions. Members sitting on the floor of ' the house, too obviously the worse of liquor to be ad.mitted to 'a reputable assembly. Members whose atteed- ance at important committee meet- ings was prevented by a free admin- istration- of stimulant. " What do these members think of themselves? Do they- think that they are honorably discharging their duties of free and, independent mem- bers of parliament ? Do they tbink they are fair to the honest, earnest electors who- worked for them night and day in their constitueneies, and rejoiced in their victories. It is a delieate question, but it is one with which the -public interest is too' closely idenified to be tuppressed on grounds of delicacy." • Belgrave Notes. -Miss- Jean ;Stewart, of Grey was the guest of liar uncle; Mr. D.

The people of this Province are already groaning under a burden and dead weight of paid officials and while it will be difficult to reduce the nuinber, the idea of an inerease should -not be tolerated for a inoment.-It ie to be hoped that the municipalities .which have yet to vote money to buy right of way for the proposed railway from Guelph to Goderich will do the clev- er thing and come out and support the measure. It will be admitted hy every thoughtful and intelligent person that competing lines of rail- way will be a great advantage to the People of Huron, while the cost will only be a mere trifle annually. Why then should any of the people want to sponge the good things of life or have them provided at the ex- pense of surrounding municipalities, a proceeding which would be little short .of beggarly. In view of these things, we trust that the men of Morris, Hullett and Wawanosh will giVC a good account of themselves. , Bluevale. Jottings. -Mr. and Mks.
