uses. In fact there is not much corning
to the treasury of sortie municipal -
1 MS after the Government had -charg-
ed. for the inmates in the asylum. The
law was not working out satiefactor-
lly; It led some munielpalitiee to tee
lieva they were getting favors from
the -Govern/tent, and others that they
were being 'unfairly dealt with. The
tendency tnOW would be to Send more
patients Ito the houses of :refuge, rath-
er than Whines. On the question_ ot
taxation, he thought the method of
levying it was 'unjust. Taxation a
railways Should be levied according to
.ability to pay. The railways of On-,
ta.rio had an earningpower of $13,000,-
000, and it was not Infrea:stmable tO
her -that such an income should be
subjected to a treasonable tax. For
the evil of over -capitalization he sug-
gested a tax on the capital stock of
each company. .
Ilom Mr. Matheson, Provincial Treas-
urer, replying to Mr. Hislop, said
that the suppert of the insane ex-
ceeded the railway tax, and the prov-
ince assets& the balance. They were
making the munleipalities -partners
with the province in the !support of
the insane. Cases were found were
patients lied $10-,000, and yet were on
the free liet of the asylums. The
law encouraged the municipalities to
look into these matters. There were
many patients in the asylum who are
not insane -old people who were pitch-
ed into the inattitittions. These would
be proper case's for houses of refuge.
The law was working well. The
.Treasurer read a list of amounts re-
ceived by the municipaltiere of Mr.
Hislop's conetituency. Howick, for
example, reeeived•e3e1: he itne gate
of 7Itichigant where a similar law has

edIt was necessary for the eredlt
of the Province that the • taxation
sihould be moderate. Much of the pre-
ference lashes that had gone into the
Grand Trunk would never draw a
dollar in dividends.
*Mr. Thorksoh, of Welland, has an
amendment to the municipal Act pro-
vidingfor the iesuing, of debentures'
by a county countil on a three-fourths
vote, and without the assent of -the
°lechers, foe the purpoae of 'building
a county house of 'refuge. Others en-
able a municipal council by ,by-law

Mr. Cameron., of West Huron, has
a 'bill giving ice villages the right
to purchase rods for highways. The
till is to cover the case of two or
three s0h villages which clegre to

Another till has for its object the
extending of the hours of polling at

posed by :representatives of the Den
tal ,Association. Miss Rohner; had al
so ca,rreed oa an active persenal lob
Dy among the members for several
days and also pleaded her cause be
fore the committee. The gallant Maj-
or Clark, from Bruce, *as among thei
members, who actively espoused the
young lady's cause. He said he
thought that as '75 per cent Of the ap-
plications of lawyers, doctors, ete.
had gone through and now that a
young and charming lady had made
an application at last, they oughtn't
to hesitate a moment. He would can-
sider it a pleasure to be chloroform-
ed try her 'and a delight to have his
tooth extracted. He was sure that she
could do nail le the most workman-
like manner. The Major, by the -way
is not a bachelor. But, Mr. Pox, an
other member, who is a bachelor
suggested that Major Clark should
gebrnit himself to the operation. for
the benefit of the members.
After this there was little more to
be said and Miss Holmes' bill was
passed, with an amendment specifying
that she be allowed to- practise in
the county of Oxforl for the next 2
years, and permanently, if during
that period she passes the final fac-
ulty examination. She Is, therefare
the first lady dentist in the province
and was warmly- congratulated by
several members of the Legislature on
her success, showing her to be a
prime favorite among the legislat-
ors. But a similar hill by a' man, Jer-
ry lerisson by name, hailing from
lhe county of Russell, was not so fay
-orably received. He desires to be al-
lowed to practise as a vetertnary
;surgeon. His bill was laid over for
future consideration," which mean
hat it will never see the light of

man even merle hard headed legisla-
tors.

Editorial/Notes and COmmnents
The Mayor of Griderich . and the
newspapers of the town have gotten at
loger'heads. At ar ecerrt meeting of the
town councitlhe Mayor dressed down
the newspaperi for hgletng what he
termed one sided and unfair repOrte
of the council ,proceedings. The, news-
papers retaliated by pelting the May-
or with open: letter's and caustic ed-
itorials. At this distance we can
scarcely express an opion on the mer-
its of the matters' which have caused
tee melee. But reading between lines
We should Judge the Mayor takes his
office and the newspapers too seri-
(fusty. He should harden his shell,
purtsue the even tenor of hi ways,
do what he thinks right and let the
papers rasp away. On the other hand
it is not tgood policy as a rule for a,
-newspaper to interfere -too much in
mu'nicipal politics. It should give the
facts and let the people do the squeal-
ing. This is best for 'the peace, qtilet
and prosperity of the municipality.

In the Provincial elections in Mani-
toba, on Thursday of last week. the
Roblin Government was sustained by
a good majority. The full returns
show 27 Conservatives end 12 Re-
formers -elected, or a majority of 15
for the Government. The Reform lead-
er, Mr. Brown, was defeated Fa his
home constituency' of Portage la
Prairie, by !the, former member, Mr.
Armstrong, by a 'majority of 223.
Mr. Brownesaers he is now coniinced
that it is impossible to be success-
ful in Manitoba politics at present,.
and at the same time :retain personal
integrity and the results would seem
to indicate that he is right. He ex-
presses his intention to retire from
politics, but s an effort' will be made
to retain_ his serVices as Provincial
leader and to secure for him a con-
stituency in which he can be elected.
With the defeat of MT. Brown and
Mr, Chevarier in $t. Boniface, two of
the most 'brilliant Liberals in the
campaign will be a.becint from the
'Legislature and the Lineral party
can not very well spare ;either of
them. Winnipeg only returned one
Liberal out of the four representa-
tives. Dr. McFadden, 'the Provincial
Secretary was defeated in Emereon
and MT. Campbell, the Attorney Gen-
eral was elected by only two in, the
coltstitue'ney of Morris and the pro-
babilities are that he willebe count-
ed out on a recount of the ballots.
Col. Roderick McLennan, ex -M. P.,
for Glengarry, died at Cornwall on
Friday of last week. He had been in
poor health for some time and his
death followed an operation. He oc-
cupied a prominent position in the
Conservative party for a good many
years and was leaked on as one 01
the leaders. in Eastern Ontaiho.
"Big Rorer as he was familiarly
known in is earlier days, had quite
a notable career. He was a :native of
trie county of Glengarry, and his
grand -father was one Of the early set-
tlers In that country. He first be-
came known to theworld in the field
of athletics and was a•champion
hammer thrower and all round ath-
lete. He retired from fahletic com-
petitioes, because of a tragic accident.
He wasthrowing the hammer, and the
crowd not -understanding how far, he
outclassed his competitors, closed lin
an the grounds. A little Ude one of
the spectators, was struck !by the
hammer and killed. He became an
extensive contractor, and had sev-
eral large contracts on railways in
the United States, arid also on tho
C. P. R. He made a lot of money in
these works, and some fifteen or
tWenty 'years ago returned to his
native county, and was soon after-
wards elected its representative an
the 'Dominion Parliament. from which
position he retired an account of 111 -
health. He was an old and staunch
friend of the late Sir John A. Menden-
ald, and also, Inehie 'young; daere,
the late on, John Sandfield Mae-
donalde and in later years of Hon.
