FRIDAY, MAY h, 1891.
Increased Salaries.
At the inattiog of the Ontario
Legislature, just adjourned, a reso-
lution was iutrudueed to increase
the salary of the Premier by
$2,000 a year, and the sessional
indemnity of the leader of the
Opposition by the same amount.
Another resolution was also in-
troduced to increu-+e the sessional
allowance of members from $600
to $800. Referring to the pro-
posed increase, Mr Mowat said
he had no previous knowledge
whatever as to the intention of
the House, nor hail he heard any
expression uu the subject by any-
body. While expressing his
gratitude and full appreciation of

his
salary is a delicate one to deal
\ with. The members of both sides
\pf the house were in favor of it,
T't- and as_ they are;supposed to re-
present public opinion, it would
seem to bo an act that hadbublic
approval, but bore is just whore
a difficulty presents itself. As a
rule the public is opposed to men
granting themselves higher re-
muneration than they may be
receiving at the time. 'Mr Mowat
could earn a great deal more in
the practice of his profession than
he is receiving, and there are some
who will say that this being the
ga9@, be is not compelled to re-
main in his present position un-
less he wishes to. This is only
partrof the truth. If people de-
mand that a certain man bo their
chosen leader and advocate, they
have a right to pay him a proper
remuneration therefor. The
whole point to be considered is
this :—Does $5,000 a year pay
Mr Mat for his services to the
Province, and does he render
value for any more. We unhesi-
tatingly state our belief that the
Province gets exceptional value
for the outlay, and that Mr Mowat
(ortwhoevel• happened to fill the
position; of Premier) deserves a
higher emolument. But it is
bard to convince the general pub -
f._ F0.
of their sessional allowance.
They are expected to contribute
to this or that object; and a re-
fusal means a loss of support, so
that the constant drain in this
way leaves little for themselves,
and yet, We believe, if an expres-
sion of opinion were taken it
would be found that the people
were opposed to an increase. It
would be better to cut down the
representation and increase the
allowance. Even if there was no
salary whatever attached to the
position of Parliamentary repre-
sentatives, there would be found
any number of persons willing to
till it,but it might .)e said that the
min, willing to work for nothing
is worth no more than he estimat-
ed Lis own service:, at. On this

Mr Chariton closed the debate on the
address with a speech in whioh he let
the Conservatives know that he for one
was not disposed to take any of their
impudence about disloyalty. If there
is any desire for aunexation in Canada,
the Conservatives have made it by tak.
ing away from honest workers a great
share of their wages, and endowing mo-
nopolists with the proceeds. A. protec-

one of a thief lecturing on etiquette

FORESTERS' CONCERT. —The audi-
ence at the Forester's concert, last
Friday evening, was a good one, and
yet not as large as the merits of the
entertainment deserved, for it was
first class throughout, but when it is
remembered that it was the second
entertainment in the same week, little
exception can be taken. The stage
was tastily decorated, and members
of the'order moved hither and thither
in seating the audience. Mr Dian-
ning acted as chairman, while upon
the platform with him were Dr. Oron-
hyatekha, Supreme Chief Ranger, in
official uniform, J. A. McGillivray,
Supreme Secretary, and Mr Geo
Swallow. Those who expected to see
a typical Indian—long and 'gaunt—
in the person of the Supreme Chief
Ranger, were disappointed, for al -
Lion. Mr. Ross, Minister of Educa-
tion, has just been ordained an elder
