—The proposal of Mr. Smith of Peel
to give widows and spinsters a parlia-
mentary rote was snowed under in
the Legislature by a vote of 06 to 8.
..
—Mr. Whitney has withdrawn his
hill to repeal the Manhood Suffrage
Registration Act. He explained that
as there was to be a general revision
of the election law next session, the
matter might very well stand until
then• .
*
— It is strange, and to many it would
appear to be wrong, nevertheless it is
a fact, that the Dominion Government
paid out more last year in railway
subsidies and bounties for iron, steel,
lead and petroleum, than was paid in
the whole Province of Ontario for
teachers' salaries.
* *
—Senator Lougheed of Calgary has
been chosen by his fellow -Conserva-
tives to succeed Sir Mackenzie Bowell
as leader of the opposition in the
Senate. Canada could get along ex-
tremely well without a Senate, and
then no leaders would be needed. The
whole bunch would never be missed,
so far as useful legislation is con-
cerned.
* *
— The Ontario Government has de-
cided upon the nine -toile limit for the
township system. An order -in -Coun-
cil has been passed to that effect, and
in future all new townships will be
surveyed at this size. This new ruling
will apply chiefly to the clay belt
north of the mineral region of North
Ontario. The larger township is fav-
ored as being more suitable for school
and municipal purposes.
. r
— Robert Anderson, of Montreal, in
a statement sent to the Tariff Com-
mission, reaffirms the statement made
by him at the Ottawa hearing to the
effect that taking the average quan-
tity of sugar consumed in Canada an-
nually as 350,000,000 pounds, the peo-
ple of Canada are paying annually as
toll to the sugar refiners, in straight
protection, nearly $2,000,000 over and
above legitimate profits.
* *
—Speaking of the decision of the
Ontario Government to work the Gil-
lies mineral limit for the benefit of
the province, the Listowel Banner
(Liberal) says :—"The Province will
heartily approve of the policy an-
nounced by Premier Whitney of re-
taining the mines in the Gillies limit
and working them for the public bene-
fit. Even if the Government does get
bad and steals a part of the treasure
even that would be a good deal better
than to give the whole thing away for
little or nothing. This is the kind of
•thing that ought to have been done
long ago. It is a most anomalous
thing, when you come to think of it,
that the Governments of the country
with the richest lands, forests and
mines in the world should, nearly all
of them, be heavily in debt ?"
—Hon. Mr. Hendrie has introduced
into the Ontario Legislature a new
Railway Bill. The Advance has not
had an opportunity of reading it as
yet. The Toronto News, however,
gives its opinion of the new Bill, thus:
"The Railway Bill is one of the most
remarkable and comprehensive mea-
sures ever presented to the Legisla-
ture. It is marked by simplicity of
detail, directness of purpose and sin-
gle-minded concern for the vital public
interests involved in the relations be-
tween the municipalities and street
and electric railway companies. It
provides an easy and simple solution
of many vexing questions, and is par-
ticularly noteworthy for the very
practicable machinery devised for the
• exeeutiun of its provisions. If its
adoption is suceeeded by the appoint-
ment of a strong Railway Board the
extent to which the Province may
benefit from its operations can hardly
be exaggerated.
— The amendment to tile libel law
wines is before the Legislature is a
clause that a newspaper may be pri-
vileged to publish a fair and accurate
report of the proceedings of public
meetings of a Municipal Council,
School Board, Board of Education,
Provincial Baan. of Health, Medical
Health 13oard, or any other board or
ir lona. authority, or any board formed
under the provisions- of any piddle Aet
of any Legislature or the Dotniniorr
Parliament, or the whole or a, portion
or a fair synopsis of any report, bulk -
Uri, nat]ee or Puri other document iv
sued from any Govetllmeut office Or
department or public board or may
publish, at the request of any Govern-
ment or municipal official, police com-
missioner or chief constable, any re-
port for the information of the public,
unless the publication is trade mali-
ciously or unless a denial of such re-
port is refused insertion. The matter
published must be of public concern
and for the benefit of the public.

—During the discussion on the
Grand Trunk Pacific R'y Bill, IIon.
Sir Wilfrid Laurier stated on the floor
of the House, that the total charge
upon the country for the entire road
from Moncton to Winnipeg would be
$13,000,000. IIet•e are his words, as
taken from Hansard :—
"The sum total of the money to
be paid by the Government for the
construction of that line of rail-
way from Moncton to the Pacific
Ocean will be in the neighborhood
of $12,000,000 or $13,000,000 and
'not a cent more. Now, sir, what
is $13,000.000 in the year 1003? It
is about the surplus of our revenue
over the expenditure. The sur-
plus of this year will pay for the
construction of the road."
The statement also was made on a
platform in lVinghattn that the cost
would not exceed $15,000,000. It now
turns out that contracts have been let
for 395 miles, and for this alone the
country will have to pay $19,050,000.
The rest of the 1900 miles is yet to be
contracted for. So that 305 miles will
cost several millions dollars more than
Sir Wilfred assured Parliament that
the whole 1000 miles would cost.
Hon. Mr. Fielding estimated the cost
to bo 528,000 a mile. The first con-
tract let was $54,000 a mile. At this
rate the road will cost an enormous
sum.
—It is a pleasing change to see able
fanners taking a more active part in
the legislation of the province. It
world be unfortunate if it were all left
to lawyers and professional politi-
cians. The Weekly Sun in referring
to this, attributes it to farmers' organ-
izations, which causes the member to
realize that while he makes an effort
in the Legislature, he has a force be-
hind hien in his constituency. The
Sun says :—A few years ago agricul-
turists in the House did not assert
themselves. The discussion in and
control of committees of the House
was almost wholly in the hands of
city representatives and corporation
lawyers. When the automobile ques-
tion was before the Municipal com-
mittee of the House last week it was
wholly different. Mr. I1IcNaught of
North Toronto was overshadowed;
even the redoubtable G. P. Graham of
Brockville was forced into temporary
quietude, and the direction of events
was in the hands of farmers like Suth-
erland of South Oxford, Little of Card-
well, Duff of Nest Simcoe, and Kidd
of Carleton, supported by Clark of
Bruce and Lennox of North York—
the last two named, though not far-
mers, being in active sympathy with
the farmers among whom they live
and whom they represent.
**
•
—The Toronto News reviews the
legislation of the Ontario Government
thus far, in an able editorial, from
which we make the following ex-
tracts :—
"Mr. Whitney has made no sur-
render to the social and financial
interests which hang upon the
skirts of Governments. In the
amount and quality of the legisla-
tion which is now before the Pro-
vincial Parliament we have no
parallel since Confederation. It
seems certain that when the ses-
sion is over the Government will
have placed upon the Provincial
statute books more sound, useful
and progressive legislation than
has marked anysession for a third
of a century. or has there been
any particular horn -blowing over
the Government's performances.
It has proceeded upon the convic-
tion that conditions in the Pro-
vince required the adoption of cer-
tain great measures of reform,
and it has not stopped to calculate
the political results of a simple
performance of duty. There has
been no such fruitful session of
the Legislature since Confedera-
tion, and surely the notion that
the administration of Provincial
affairs could not be safely entrust-
ed) to the Conservative party has
been forever dispelled. It was a
pity that the change of Govern-
ment was so long delayed, and a
blessing to the Province that at
last there was a change, and a
change emphasized by a decisive
popular majority. Its liquor leg-
islation is sound and progressive,
in harmony with the pledges of
Ministers, and in sympathy with
the average public opinion of the
Province?'
KiNG EDWARD INVITED.
A motion was introduced into the
House of Commons last week, and
passed the House, resolving to invite
Ring Edward VII to visit Canada, the
brightest gem in the empire's bounds.
During the discussion, Dr. T. Chis-
holm, M. P. fot East Huron, delivered
the following address. Seeing that
the mover of the resolution was a
French Canadian, Dr. Chisholm's
speech was most appropriate and dis-
played gteat tact. His thorough
knowledge of British history is seen
in the address.
rR021t HA\SAltb.
Mr. Speaker, I think the hon, mem-
ber for Ottawa (Mr. Belcourt) deserves
the thanks of the House for bringing
, this question forward. It is especially
suitable that it should be brought for-
ward by a French Canadian, and by
one who was at one time the First
Commoner and Speaker of this house.
If Ring Edward accepts our invitation
we shall be able to show him a. very
different Canada front what he saw
when he visited our shores many
years ago. We will show hini a Do-
minion occupying et territory three
times as large as his Empire of India.
We shall show .firm a population that
is twice as great as the population of
the United .States when they set up
business for themselves 130 years ago.
But my principal reason for rising
was the few remarks tilOt dropped
from the lips of the bon. member for
East Hastings (Me,
Northrup).
l). Ie
was referring to the different nation-
alities which compose the population
of our country and it occurred to rue
that Ring Edward is himself the rep-
resentative of very many lines. Every
Saxon finds in hint a deseenchaut of
Cerdie the Saxon ; every Scotchmtau
finds in hint a descendant of the Stu-
arts and of the ancient Scottish kings;
every Welshman finds in him a des-
cendant of the Tudors and of the an-
cient kings of \Vales ; every Irishman
finds in him by tracing through the
ancient Scottish kings a descendant of
the former kings of Tara ; and every
French Canadian, if he chooses to
study the matter, will find that hc' is
a descendant of William the Conquer-
or and in .nim of Rollo, the majestic
and powerful Norseman who founded
the Duchy of Normandy. In this con-
nection it is well to remember that
for hundreds of years the Saxons and
the Normans httd the same sovereign
and stood. shoulder to shoulder in
many a hard fought battle, in which
they opposed the aggressions of
France. It was only through the
foolishness of King John that the
Duchy was lost, and it was long after
the discovery of America ere Calais
the last stronghold of Normandy was
taken by the French. In the mean-
time many of the Norman-French
having in their veins the daring blood
of the Norsemen like the Israelites of
old, had departed by sea from the land
of their captivity. Finally they too
found a land of promise on the banks
of the St. Lawrence, where they re-
turned to their first love, and gave
their allegiance and their loyal sup-
port to their hereditary and legiti-
mate sovereigns, the Kings of Eng-
land. Therefore, it is fitting that this
motion should be proposed by a
French Canadian. When we remem-
ber that His Majesty represents in
himself every nationality that goes to
make up our country it is certainly
well that we should invite him and I
wish to add my mite to this invita-
tion.
