BEA.FORTH, FRIDAY, May 12, 190r).
Davison Drifts.
Much, ta the relief of the newspap-
er reading public the long drawn
out debate' on tire Autonomy billein
the Dominion Perliament eame to O
doge early en Thursday morning of
lest week. Raring the debate it
was the schwa clausea which•weee
discussed almost =tei the entire vex -
elusion of the other provisions of the
bills. These will be co,nsiderd more
minutely later on. The debate was
isontinued for ten weeks, during
• which ,seventy Libe,rais and -eighty-
three Conservatives sPont. The di-
vision on the seoond treading of the
bill and affirming the prineiples of
the hill, and for whieh all this dis-
CUSSiart was the prelude, resulted in
a majority for the bill of 81, being
the largest majority aecarded in
Parliament far- many years. The
division . was noticeable for several
things beside the large majority for
the Government. Every member for
the province of Quebec, with one ex-
ception, voted tor the bill. This
•exceptian was Dr. Walsh, of Hunt-
ington. Ferty-four from 'Ontario
voted against the bill and thirty -
lour -far it. The analysis of the
vote by Provin=oes is as follow -s:
Provinces. Thor. Against.
Ontario- - • . 34 44
,Quebec.-, 60 1
"Nova Scotia 18 0
New Brunswick ...... ... • 6 6
Manitoba 6 3
Northwest Territories 7 . 3
British Columbia 7 0
Prince Edward Island 1 2
Yukon., ., 1 0
Total- 140 59
Thirteen Conservatives voted a-
gainst the iameedinent of ttheir leado
-er and in fever =of the- bill. Two of
these, Mr, Iewis, of West Huron,
and Mr. Pringle, of Cornwall, are
from Ontario. Not a. single Liberal
voted for Mr. Borden's amendment
and not Liberal" voted against tbe
*Government, although Mi. Man -
tyre, Of -•Seuth Perth, wonid have
done 601 if he had had the opportun-
ity, This .is the ane selitary. excep-
tion. Mr. McIntyre had 'declared
himself in a speech against both the
original bill and the rameadment and
he intended voting against both! of •
them. The division on Mr. Borden's
amendment was taken first endthe.
names reeoeded. Mr. McIntyre Vot-
ed against this, as the intended • ta,
all right entangle But when this
was veted down and the motion for
the :second treading of =the bill came
up, it was agreed between the lead -
eels that motion should be de-
cift.red carried on the same division
reversed without again calling the
names and there being rue objections
to this ce-urse, the Speaker declared
the motion carried accordingly. Mr.
Melintyre should have robjectea to
this proceeding at the time and had
he done this the division would have
been again taken, the names recorded
and he could have voted egeinst the
bill as he intended. But as things
turned out he is recorded in the
Parliament'ary records as hawing
voted for it. Ifowever, an the fon
lewing day he explained bimself and
now every person understands this
position. Mr. Chisholm, of East
Buren, and. Mr. Gunn, of South
Huron, both stuck to :their paity
and voted for the amendment of
their le faler and aeainet the Govern-
ment bill. Han. Mr. Greenway twas
not present, having gone to Manito-
ba and •on account of the serious ill -
awes of his daughter, was unable to
return in -time for the vote. But lie
has since made it public that had. he
ben -in the House the would have
votewith the Govennment.
Ratz, of West Middlesex, was .also
abse=nt . without a pair, and, OODSe-
quontly, did not recoed his vote on
either .side. No; measure since- ehe
Manitoba Remedial bill has created so
much ineerest in thfe country as this
'one, and it is well the difficult ques-
tion is tsettled, and it should now be
allawed ;to *rest. The extremists on
the one side complain that the bill
deprives the Roman Catholics of
their just rights. The extremists
the ether aide complain ;that the bill
gnv-ee to the Roman Catholics privil-
eges they are not entitled to. . It
would, erobably, be fair, therefore,
to split the difference bet -ween these
two parties, and to conclude that,
tender these circumstances justice
and fair play are being meetecl out to;
all.

What an old fraud tlie Toronto

"laugh in it's sleeve" when it pats

Extraordinary Powers. -
Hen. Mr. Matheson, Ponincial
=
Treasurer, is asking * the eeseent Of
t
the Legislature tot it:resolution and
a bill fou,nded on ' this eelrolution,
Authorizing the Government to anise
by way of to.set the Atm of _Seven mil' -
tion delitars tor any or alit' of the
following purposes: -
"For the public =service ; 1 a works

This sum is to' be borrowed for any

What matter iwith Old Hur-
on? Huron • s three representatives
in the Dominion Paeliaxnent and al-
though the debate en tile Autonomy
bills lasted tor tear weeks, Huron
was never heard from.. If pr. Mc-
Donald and Bob Holmes had been in
the Range, Old' Huron ;would, not
have given a iHilent vote on so im-
p:extant an:lesue. And our own B.
13. Guinn, the firet and only Conser-
vative that ever repreeented South
Huron, whet of him He is .not us-
ually •at a loss foe silvery words in
which to express his thoughts, but
even he, although he voted ertraight
against the bill, tailed to, give a
reason, for the faith that is in him.
It es the general impression that
Hon. C. B. Hyman, eteLondon, will
succeed Mr. Sutherland as Minister
of public "Works in the Dominion
Cabinet. Indeed Mr. Hyman is the
natural successor as he has beep
the temporary fitead of ithe depart -
rnen.t for ta. year, Since Mr. &Aber-
lend's illness Oommenced and all ad-
mit that has made a good and
competent administrator. -. In the
event of r. Hyman's selection he
will have t Iiiekk treenlection. The
Conservatives are chuckling over
this AS they say they ;think they can
defeat him. London is 'Tory anyway
'and at the last election Mr. Hyman
duly had a majority' of 49. This,
however, can not be taken as a cri-
terion as Mr. Hyman's ;friends' were
taken by surprise last ;time and were
aver confident. They are not like-
ly tube caught napping in like man-
ner again. Besides this the prestige
of a full fledged Cabinet Minister

ment Ls 'a powerful lever in a oon-
