Mr. Beaty, Charman of the Standing
:Orders Committee, - presented. their first,
' repart,, and *bye& that the time for reedy-
ing petitiona for Private Bills be extended
to the 1st of March. Mr. Blake pointed
out the disadvantage of having thismotion
'
for the -extension of time moved, for as a
matter of Cour* every SGSSiO/t, as it led
to pe.ople taking no notice of the first

. • . • .
,short —two Weeks after the opening of

whets& limit -was -fixed upon . no One

dld not objeetto that reduction, but desired
that it should kla consideredonly experi-

Mr. Ilesson,in moving for the corres-
pondence between. the Dominion Govern-
ment and theaovernments of Ontario and
• -
Quebec from. lst June, 1882, relating to the
land improvement fund, said the Dominion
Government had beeeri charged with delay
iu theeettlement of this claim. The Onta-
rio Government had made paymeutain his
own 'county ' (Perth), and, he supposed in
others, showing that they had always had
money in their:posseasion belonging to. this
.finict He had it on good 'authority' that -
payments had. been made on this abcount
by the . Dominion Government,. and:. he
Understood this Government -was _ready at
any time to, settle account, _ and that the
delay was the fault of the Plaitncial Gov-
ernments. Sir. Leonard Tilley. -said there
had been delay.froni time to time because
the 'Provincial Treasurers ,were not ready "

statements had been prepared, aIld:9.13- S6011

The suggeation that lotteries should -be

•evidences of the demoralizing :effect of
lotteries. We only .- require to carry the
lottery idea one a ep farther to show how
utterly immoral i is. Let every pewholder
raffle for the price of his pew, -i and let the
pastors take their chances whether they
get double ' their presen§ salaries !Ortno
salary at all. Let us play poker with the
