The Serzeneent has fallen into the Ancient and practise of having the Legisia- re vote large sums in block for cer- in purposes and then the Government the funds thus voted when and er elide purposes as they see it. -T-This W&S the policy adopt- ed " in the early i diays of k the egislature under the Government f John SanMeld McDonald and which lead to the defeat of that,Government. The Opposition have been trying for several sessions to induce the Govern- ment to adopt the practise in vogue in e days of Sir Oliver Mowatt. That was to receive the assent of the Legis- ure for each specific expenditure and o give full particulars of where and CqV the money voted was to be expend - d. But thus far the Opposition have ot been able to carry their point an the Goverarnent refuse to be burbed in sale? such way and their strong follow? eg in the House. obediently bow to their will, These expenditures should e thoroaghly investigated and. enquir- d into on the Public Accounts Commit- tee. aut a' late 'Years the proceeding's before -this Committee have been en- irely farcic-al and in so, far as the public are concerned the Committee might as well be abandoned. As Soon as any Opposition member in the ex- amination of a witnesa approaches a dangerous point, the chairman of the Committee or some member a the Gov - rat -lent intervenes and orders the wit- ness not to answer the question and that shute eciff all further investigation into the matter in question: The Mountain has been in prolongued labor and has brought forth a. mouse. The Provincial Secretary introduced the long looked for bill amending the Liqu- or License Law, on Tuesday night. The salient features of this bill willabe found in another column. The leader the Oppoiiition very fittingly char- acterized it /when he said: "Itis a maximum' of change in administration ith a minimum of benefit. The. peo- le aaked for bread and you have giv- en a atone." The sale of liquor the bar IA naft to be interfered with except in so tar as the ,sale to sol - ens in -- uniform is prohibited.

Why, therefore, the soldier should be singled out for protection and the 'Una left to the tender mercies of the bar is something which should need ansiderable explanation. The Legisia.- re should eapiange this clause inethe w bill at any rate. As for the changes ham local to 'Provincial Commissioners d Inspectors, it is shnply in *line with e 'mineral policy of th Government to emcere power from the people and con - ate it in the Government end in, Jze city of Tweet°. The change wilt V result hi' _giving a number eif" overrenent favorites a soft doh at the Walk expense and the law will not be y more efficiently enforced, and per- aus not nearly so efficiently enforced, it now is 'by local men.

Any 'change; therefore, which the ew law makes is retrograde instead beneficial. :But that is what the peo- le for a little over a year ago d the Government axe, probably, right giving them what they asked torr.

Mrs. Upshall died it the home of her daughter, Mrs. French, of Tuckeramith, where she had. been making her home for some time. On the evening previous to her death, Mrs. Upshall, in company with Mrs. French; was in Kippen and made several pans on, friends here. She was then in the enjoyment of her usual good health and on returning home she seemed. to be unusually cheerful. She retired for the night about the ueual time. As was her custom, before retiring, Mrs. French visited her mother's room, to see if she required anything. She had only been there for a few minutes when her mother seemed to don off to sleep, but, It proved to be •the last sleep and on „closer Inspection Mrs. French found ” that the vital spark had fled. -Mrs. Up- shot! had passed away as quietly and peacefully as if falling asleep and made no complaints of even feeling unwell,, The deceased. was bora in the vicinity .of Toronto, 74 years ago, less three '..months. Her maiden name was Eliza • jaae Moore. She came with her parents to Hibbert, whea quite young. She was married to her late husband, Mr. Jo- seph. Upshall, in the year 1860. .They settled on a farm in the TownshIP our Hibbert, and which was then .solid btu*, *it with pluck, perserverence and good management they succeeded in convert- -Ing the forest , farm into one of the mead comfortable homesteads in that township a beautiful homes. Selling the farm in Hibbert they bought anoth- er farm in Tuckersinith, and removed to that township in 1894. Some years afterwards they retired from the more active -clu.tiee of life and -came ta* ICippen where they lived until Ade tipshall's death about two years ago. The deceas- ed is survived by a family a two sans and three • daughters, Frank of Tuck- erSmith, and Charles of Saskatchewan, and Mrs. Wesley French of Tucker - smith, and Mrs. David -Wren and Mrs. Charles Cboper of Tugask.a, Saskatche- wan.
