SEAFORTH, FRIDAY
h fith 1896
The Dominion i'a ament.
The long drawn out budget debate was'
brought to a close on. riday. Between
then and Tuesday, the da on which it was
proposed to bring clown the remedial bill
for its second reading, the Government was
kept busy feeling its way nd preparing for
the final plun . Comit ees' 0.,nd sub -corn -
m
mittees were oing their•tmost to modify
• the bill to .pease the a ti-rernedialists in
their ranks, t tactics 0- this kind.were
alike distastef 1 and unsatisfactory to both
the factions into which the Government is
divided, and the result wa that on the ap
• pointed day the bill was introduced for a
second time without cha ge. This is un-
doubtedly the most critic I situation that
has confronted any Geyer'merit 'since con-
federation, and both Refo mers and Conser-
vatives are keenly alive t • the importance
of the occasion. Sir Char es Tapper intro-
duced the measure with a ength speech, in
which he endeavored to give satisfactory
reasons why Manitoba,sholuid be oerced be-
fore the Government, had fully i vestigated
the grievances of the 1iinority, or before
they had received from t e ma ority their
reasons and causes for havingj abolished
separate schools. He wa folio ed by Mr.
• Laurier, leader of the Op ositiori, who ably
and eloquently - defend& , and lucidly ex-
plained, his policy of i vestigation. Mr.
Lathier's effort was ack owledged on all
hands to have been most s atesmanlike, and
Was a strong plea for th maintenance of
peace, and the abolition lof all racial strife
in our Dominion. In c eluding his ad-
dress, he moved that the bill receive a six
Months' heist. At thi juncture, „ Sir
' Adolphe Caron, who was to have followed
Mr. Laurier,. was forested led by Hon. N.
Clarke Wallace, who expl ined why he had.
left the Government. ,14 r. Wallace was
followed by Mr. Diekey, t 4 likely that
the debate will be keptu. fo ! some time,
and promises to be a livel oriee and one in
which aIl the different poi ti s 4f the policies
of the two parties ;will le ably brought
out. As far as can be ie4rnjed there is no
change in the attitude o Ithe members
should a vote be taken. Bit one thing is
certain, the Liberals were n ver more har-
monious and will ably sup ort their leader
in the only just and reason ble solution of
this troublous queition.„ .
• Has He Lost His Charm?
The Conservatives in th Dominion are
bad off for a leader. Wh n it was found
that Sir _Mackenzie Bowen . ould not hold
. the party together and save it fronrfalling pieces,from sheer rotteno ss, they sent for
Sir Charles Tupper, the former "war
horse of Cumberhuad.” 5 r Charles was
duly sworn in a Cabinet •inister, a soft
nest was got for hifl by gi 'inn' a sitting
Member a place in the poi tical cemetery,
known as the Senate. Gre t shouts of joy
were sent up by the rank an file. The re-
deemer had truly come. Th party was to

THE ON ARIOLEGISL T R.
The past N eek in the Ontario L gistature
hail been a comparatively uneve tful one.
The machine y runs smoothly, and although
meat of the i eek was taken up by a continq-
a,nce of the ebate on the budget, a consid-
erable mass f legislation, both private and
public, hes een introduced, and is now in
process of a lia,neement. No new points
were develo ed in the budget debate, al-
though the peaking was well .mitintairied
on both side. The members fot East . and
• South Hare took a hand in the disthission,
Mr. Gibson, he " father of the house," as
he is usually termed, delivered a most ad-
mirable spee h, which was attentively lis-
tened to and well received by both tides.
He reviewed the legislation of the PrOvince
from Confed ration onwards,. shoving cleare
ly and conch sively that, while the expend-
• ieure has bee largely increased since Sand -
field's time, he inerease has been for the
purpose of decreasing the burdens ande bet-
tering the :condition of thepeople. Mr.
il)Gibson scored many good points and br. ught
to mind many iecidentre_whi0 had been al-
most forgotten by most of the present edam-,
hers of the Legislature. ,
The main points of attack by the Opposi-
tion are, 1st, the financial management, the:
increased expenditure being the chief loom.:
plaint; 2nd, the management of the Public'
institutions, clad mg that they are not
managed as econ mically as they should be,
and that all the 4upplies are not bought by
tender; 3rd, the 1 management of the tim-
ber compl int being made that in selling
and cuttin the _ timber the capital of ,the
Province is being expended, and that When
the timber i done direct taxation willlhave
to be reso tad to; 4th, a running fire all
along the li e. On _this Government side, it
is replied t at the increased expenditure is
necessary o account of the growing inter -
eats of the rovince, and that the increased
expenditnr is simply increased aid to the
people, les ening their berdezis and de-
creasing th ir local taxation,and that i the
expenditure of the P ovince were decre sed,
the munioip 1. taxati n would of necetasity
be increase- ; 2nd, t at the management of
the public u stitution is as economical as
is compati
and that
the_Unite
le with comfort and cifficieney,
0 sim_lar institutions either in
States or Canada are conducted
nearly as cheaply as are those of , Ontario,
and that every article of supply for these
institutions is now purchased by tender,
that is predicable or in the interests of the
Province to purchehe in that way; 3rd, that -
the rade of timber is not a reduction of the
capital of: the Pr vince, as the Money de-
rived in that way is devoted to the erec-
tion of necessary public buildings and the
establishinent of o her permanent institu-
tions, and that it is simply a transfer of
one kind of capital for another kiad,equally
valuable and permanent; and :moreover
that a great deal of the timber if left un-
touched would cro to waste through fire and
decay and the ISovince would net receive
any benefit from that which now yields a
a liberal revenue. - I
It is not partial to say that the Govern-
ment side had decidedly the best of the ar-
gument, not because of superior ability, but
because they have the best side to argue.
In fact, when the Minister of Finance com-
pleted his able, ipasterly, comprehensive,
plain and explicit e. position of the finances
it seemed as if he Ilad not left a single peg
on which a grieve!' e could rest, bat it must
also be said to the e edit of the:Opposition,
that they have displayed an ingenuity and
persistency in ma tifacturing grievances
which is almost 8ur1lris1ng.
TIE RE? EDIAL BILL.
,And we are likely to havea stiff breeze
over the reniedisi bill, which hasoccasion-
ed so much trouble at Ottawa and paused so
much heated discussion in the country for
the past few months. Although the,Legisla-
ture has no power to do anything More than
express an opinion upon it, .Mr. Crawford,
one of Toronto's members, has given notice
of a resolutiop protesting against the pass-
age of Remedial Legislation by the Do-
minion Parliainent, and asserting that Mani-
toba should b allowed to manage her own
educational ffairs Iunmolested by outside
interference. ' This resolution is causing
considerable queasiness on both Rider; of the
house, and strong :influences have ' been
brought to bear upon Mr. Crawford by
some of his own party friends to induce him
to withdraw it, but thus far he has stood
thin, and although t e motion has been al-
lowed to stand for several days, it id:still on
the order paper,an ' will likely conte to a
vote. If it does, it s very difficult: to say
what turn the Mame on may take,afthough
it is just probable 1 here will be as little
discussion as possible and that theegovern-
ment will bring in an amendment along the
lines of Mr. Laurier! policy, which will let
their own supporters •ut of theesou ., while
the other fellows can ook out for themselves
