icisic he may have been sobject to ;
the Nati( eniess he may have experien-
ced, and the glad feeling of satistaetion
that the estimates have finally gone
through the House. The estirnated
1 . expenditures for each year are first
' submitted to the House in printed
Iform, the object of each particular
Iexpenditure being stated in detail.
i For instance, if it is proposed to ex-
pend $100,000 in improving the harbor

t hulk; but ft must be stated how much
i is proposed to he spent on each partic-
I ular harbor, and when it is remember-

'
tension and anxiety comes in. If the

consecutively, parliament might con-
clude its labors pinch quicker. But
the House "goes into comruittee of

some ot the items are under considera-
tion the Minister has his Deputy near

and again for information. The Oppos-
ition, accoraling to its humor, may
Iallow items to pass unchallenged, or
may ep xise them bit' erly, 'asking all
aorta of questions,eornetinies in serious -
iness,more often simply for purposes of
obstruction. But they are able to give
the Minister a very uncomfortable

ten happens that the House will spend

will pass.estimates involving an expen-
diture of a million -and -a -half. The

Parliament wasted a day last week in
discussing the Nipissing election case.
The circumetances of the case, m brief,
are :- When tbe writs were issued for
the general election, it was found that
noveter's lists for 1900 had been com-
pleted in Nipisiing,tut th y would be a
week later. Acting on advice the Re-
turning Officer cancelled th'e flrst an-
nouncement of the election, and issued
another, fixing the date of nomination
and election one • week later in each
instance than those of the general elec-
tion. When the day of nc.mination
came the Liberals nominated their
candidate, but the Conservatives de-
clined to do so, claiming that a. change
should not haye been made, and the
Liberal was declared elected. The
matter was then taken taken into
court and decided there also against
the Conservatives. The matter was
brought into the House by the Conser-
vatives, who claimed that it should go
before the committee on elections, for
investigation. alleging that the seat
had been stolen. The governmerit op-
posed this, taking the ground that the
Conservative could have been nomin-
ated on the second date the same as
the Liberal was, therefora the seat
could not have been stolen, and that
the courts had already decided the
Conservative had 130 case. This view
was endorsed by the House and will be
endorsed by the country, but the occa-
sion gave the Opposition a chance to
make,a lot of speeches about "outrag-
ing the liberties of the people" that
were more assun3ed Than real, When

the•press that Hansard is to be abolish-
ed. The matter has not come
up in the House tor discussion, and the
probabilities are that if it does, there
will be considerable opposition to the
proposal, Personally I think it could
be abolished with injury to no one,and
a biro' saving to the country, But Han-
sard it; not the only thing that could
be well done away with. When our
system of government started, it did
so on a wrongbasis,with the result that
4 number of offices were treated which
are no earthly use, from the standpoint
of practical utility,. I do not speak of
the men who fill these offices, but of
the office itself. Take the Sergeant -at -
Arms, the 'Usher of the Black Rod, and
many similar (Aces ; they are practic-
ally useless. but cannot well be abolish-
ed unless the governmrte-al system is
re-organizecl. If I had MV own way I
would simply eut off a lot of these use
less appendages, and if that threatened
the stability of the constitution, I
Would simply say "so much the worse
for the contetitution."
I referred In h. Previous letter to the
necessity of very soon enlareing the
present, parliament buildings, owing
to the lack of accomodation, •In addi-
tion to the enlargements there Outlined
are two others that will have to be
undertaken very soon, and for Which a
heavy outlay will be required. The
Printing Bureau is altogether too small
for the demands upon it, and an addi-
tion that will cost trom fifty to one
hundred thousand dollars is absolutely
necessary. The Geological Museum is
in a four-story building on. Slissek street
and consists of a very fine collection
of stuffed animals, birds, minerals and
other treasures of nature, but the
building is ohogether inadequate and
