- The New Leader
-
The Reform members of the Ontario
Legisia.tere nave selected Mr. George
P.,Graharn, of Brockville, as their.
leader for the present session and it
he prove i equal- to his epportenitie.e
he will, no doebt, be elected ael 4the
permanent head of the party in this
Proyince. The Premierand Mr._ Gra.-
hare. a,ret old neighbors, having lived
eide by side for several- years itrnt. the.
little town; of Morrieburg, Dundee
ootenty. Mr. Whitney practised law
there and Mr. Grahreni edited the
Liberal paper. The firet timeeMr.
•;Whitney ran for Dundas Mr. Gra,hane
wee his opponent. Mr. Graham was
elected but Tao soon after- unmated-.
In the bye -election. which followed,
they were again pitted against each
other-, but this time Mr. Whitney was.
elected and hag held the seat ever
since. Mr. Graham soon after re-
moved to Brockville, became editor of
the Brockville Recorder and waft fin-
ally elected to represent that• con-
ealteeeleer ihr the Legislature:' - He is
` the son of a rvIethoclist clergy -men.

There IS' nothing of particular in -
'Urea to( note from . the Dominion
eepital this:. week. • The Leglidatean
there have been takteg business/very
leisurely, it we are 'to judge from
e. the newspeper reports, . as there- is
nailing ehonei4 on the surface to in-
dicate a busy week.It is astoniall-
i in how! rallelt tline is practically wast-
ed et Ottawa, ' and, that, -.too, with
the appal -ea assent of the leaders of
both- parties. ' Some subject of little
public interest, or of no Public inter-
- eeit at all, will spring ap, but it will
'create an: animated discussion and.
coneerne an eetire sitting. There were
several such difeCussions, during the
suit weeki and hence very little bus-
iness. Th:el •lealk of the tariff resole -
Ilona lhave yet to be. dealt with; 'onli
• a few of the mearearee promised at -the
openhig of! the session 'ha.ve thus far
even receifed any advancement a.nd
. ?there ere Many private nleasereastill
•
to be (lea. t with.
The Provinces' down by- the ,sea, are
not making as vapid progress In pop-
ulation. and influence b ere the
„Weitern Provinces and they are beginning td fear that they may :be1
swamped apy the larger and more
rapidly growing Provinces of the wet
and are a.htlfous that the •conetitue
tion should be amended so as to give
• them more equal representation in
the Dominion Parliernent. This. sub-
ject was lengthily/ discussed a few
-days ago, but the " bkue noses" did
not receive a great deal! of Sym-
pathy from either side of the. House.
A regulationhas eeen passed by
the Chstoms Deia•rtment fornidding
the importation, of unbroken bronchea
into Canada from the United States.
This has been L'2.-id-ared necessary by
the fact that on aecount of the laege
• inflow of settlers to . ttie Weaterre
Provinces frorri twenty to thirty thous-
and horses enter that country every
.Tear from across the boundary and
among these are -large drovesof un-
broken range -horses many of which
suffer from glanders and other in-
fectious. diseases, hence the order for-
• bidding their importation. . But. wside
altogether from the question of dis-
-ease, these are a very • undesirable
class- of horses to have in this COu'11-
try. As a rule they are neither or-
e-re:mental or, uzefule and the eewer
we have of 'them the bettee.
It we:4 made known in the House
the other" day that Arr. Robert 'Bost-
on, who was defeated by Mr. Valene
tine Ratz, in North Middles, x, at the
last Dominion election has been ap-
pointed immigration agent to look
after the deportation of undesirable
imederan.ts who may arrive in On-
tario, his salary being $100 per month.
It will be thus .seen that Bob," as
he is familiarly- -ailed, has not been.
forgotten. To oz e mind it seems
that he has receivo4 more than his de-
serts and there a'-•\ many who are
more dezerving. Mr. Boston occu-
pied the position of governor of Mid-
dlesex jail. He resigned that posi-
tion to force hirnsblf upon the Re-
• form convention, where he was not
wanted. We 'hope he will have sense
enough this time to appreciate a
good thing when, he has it..

become a source of considerable rev-
enue to the Province. Measures deal-
ing witht the prison labor 'problem
and the educatideal interests are al-
so pro/Weed. • •
In reference to prison labor, it is
stated thei Intention ot- the Govern -
Meet ist: to dispose of the 'Central
Prison property in Toronto, and to
egablish a berm farm' in the vicin-
ity of that city and to employ the
prisoners In farm work, the proceeds
of their labor to be used for the main-
tenance of the other Provincial in-
stitutions and also to establish a
branch prison farm in sornea part of
New Ontario end( use the Prisoners
incarcerated there for building new
:roads renee such like work. an these
ways lis aleped to prevent prisde lath -
or froze coming into contact with
free lebdr, Which is now eo much com-
plained of. by labor orgaizations.
Taking time by the forelock, also,
on the second day of the- session,: the
Premier made e very important wile
inouncement as to the nature- of the
school legislation which was .-fore-
shadowed ie the address. He frankly
admitted the difficulty atending the
working out of the la.w of last tees -
elan, a4 to increased salaries de-
pendent on the assessments, which
vary very much and hence the Gov-
ernment haerdetermined to change the
law in; this respect. Amendments of
the law will, therefore, be proposed
retaining the minimum grant of $800
per annum by the township to each
echool. seated for • salary; granting
tenconditionally a further $15 per an-
num -to each section; authorizing a
grant of 40 per cent. an the excess of
all salaried above $300 up to A600,
and appropriating $60,000 for the pur-
poses oe equipment and accommoda-
tion. These proposals involve In ali
a _vote of $380,000, anincrease over
the lea annual grant made by the
late •government of $262.000. Ilhie is
no doebt a very considerable addi-
tion but if the, ideal public school
system is to be more nearly approach-
ed, the propriety. of the appropriation
Baked will not be questiOned. This
large..additional great will be, prac-
tically, found money ,eo the people
and win. serve ,very 'naturally to pop-
ularize the la*, while, at the same
tirne, it Should .secure a better class
of teahhere and greater permanency
ixi the profession. The Government is
being oyerwhelmed with revenue and
they can not 'use a portion of their °
surplus in, a tnore ,beneficial manner
than in impreving the educational
facilities of the- country.
Policy of the New Leader
Mr. George P. , Graham, the new
leader of the Liberal:party, in the On-
tario Legislature has shown himself
,a„ men' of action and ability. He has
lost to time in placing 'himself and
nio policy before the Province. In an:
able speech in the Hou ai9 on Tuesday,
Mr. :Granam announced the policy, of
hia party.. The ,speech was an able
deliverance a.nclt the different planks
In the platform breath progressive-
ness. ,
The salient points in the platform
as enunciated by Mr. Graham on
Tuesday, are:
" We stand' for a practical and pre-
gressive forestry policy now and for
the future.
For the abolition of contract lab-
or at the Central .Prison on any terms.
"For fair play to legitimate in-
vestments, 'but not one cent for
watered stock.
"For rational capitalization and
limitations of the powers of such cor-
porations as the Standard Oil and oth-
er companies -that are endeavoring to
take money out of Canada.
"Absolute- and unassailable titles
by the -'Government. •
"Free school books as part of the
equipment or the public and separate
schools.
"-Cheap power for the municipal-
ities and; the people.
" Economical management of the

the -buoyancy of the revenue.
"Absolute control bY municipalities
of 'their own streets and every en-
couragement to the ownership and
