--Representatives of the Ontario
Legislature and Dominion Govern.
ment discussed railway differences
recently, and there is every indication
that in the end, the Dominion'law will
bo amended to meet the provincial
control arguments of the Whitney
Government, at least in those points
that are essential.
-Our readers will hae a noted that
the question has been discussed in the
Commons, as to whether it is better,
to improve the Senate or end it, This
has aroused the old thing itself, and it
has actually shown signs of being
really alive. The members have be-
gun to discuss methods of improve-
hent•, but few of the old chaps think
the'Senate should be abolished. Evi-
dently they do not want to lose their
jobs, and more especially the splendid
salary attached.
* *
r
-The Legislature meets on Feb. 5th.
A full slate of legislation is on band.
The most important Legislation of the
session will likely be that concerning
the jurisdiction and control of rail-
ways within the province. A. monster
deputation of telnperance people will
ask for the removal of the three-fifths
clause. They take the ground that
the three-fifths clause is not necessary
for permanency of local option, and
want a simple majority substituted
for the 60 per cent. vote. The Redis-
tribution Bill will be (it is said) a fair
measure, and not in any sense a gerry-
mander for party purposes. The rep`
resentatives of the province will be in-
creased by about ten, four members
additional being given Toronto.
* *
*
=The Ontario Government has un-
der consideration the advisability of
calling a conference of the Liquor Li-
cense Inspectors with a view to ob-
taining still more efficient service,
uniformity of action and clear inter-
pretation of the clauses of the act.
The conference will probably be held
in Toronto during the sittings of the
Legislature. The inspectors will be
addressed by the Provincial Secretary,
Hon. W. J. Hanna, who will probably
speak as to the intent and desire of
the Government regarding the en-
forcement of the Act, and by Mr.
Eudo Saunders, head of the License
department, and other members of
the staff, upon the various duties as-
signed them and their performances.

-The Si. John's Sim says : "The
railroads are the leaders among the
commercial apostles of temperance.
But the same truth applies to every
class of business and is receiving wider
acceptance every year. Already the
man who befuddles his brain with
drink places himself under a heavy
handicap, and the time is not far dis-
tant when there will be no room left
for him in the business and industrial
world. While the effort to make men
see the sin of drink and to abstain for
moral aa:d religions reasons, has not
been, and is not without its effect, the
sooner temperance advocates awaken
to the fact that the irae:;tion of drink
is not an emotional but a,material, a
business question, to be settled by
each community for itself, the more
speedily will this great social and eco-
nomic problem approach its solution."
AT THE CAPITAL.
The following is from the report of
the Ottawa correspondent of the Lon-
don Free Press :-
Ottawa, Jan. 2. -Dr. Chisholm's
brief little speech in the House on
Tuesday night was an effective reply
to some of the acerbities of temper
into which the Minister of the Interi-
or, Hon. Frank Oliver, invariably flies
whenever his department is called in-
to question,
The discussion during the whole of
the evening hinged around the ques-
tion of production of original docu-
ments which is as acute in the House
as ever. Mr. Oliver had made one of
his characteristic speeches, spitting
out his invectives, like the chugs of a
gasoline engine, upon those who
would claim access to the original
documents in his department. Fol-
lowing the fireworks of the minister,
Dr. Chisholm arose in his calm quiet
style, and in a speech that did not last
over five minutes told Mr. Oliver just
where he stood in relation to the Op-
position and the country in general.
"I do not think he is as bad as he
looks," said Dr. Chisholm amid gene-
ral laughter, "I think if he would
jest keep his temper a little better`',
and if he would just use a little more
of that sunny smile and 'learn some
lessons from the right hon. leader of
the Clouse, this whole matter would
be satisfactorily settled.'
"The people of Canada are getting
suspicious of the Minister of the In-
terier," said Dr. Chisholm, "and they
avant to investigate the affairs of his
department to see whether their sus.
piclon le well founded or not. In the
interests of the minister himselfit
would be far better foe him to have
these documents carefully examined.
The people are the owners of this
country, the governtrnerit are simply
the managers, and as the people's rep-
resentatives we have the right to
know what is going on."
HURON COUNTY COUNCIL,
