This is the fourth death that has occurred aancerg the Com- mons 'members and four among. the Senatc,rs this session, making eight in all. The deceased was .65 -years cif age and wags a, inedibeir:de 'the Opposi- tion and although "this was his first term in Parliament he was much ?thought a by members ore .both, sides of the House. It ha ss teen decided that Siet Wil- frid, Laurier and -Sir' Frederick Bor- den will sail for England Oft 'the 5t11 of April, to represent the coun- try at the Colonial Conferenceof the Err.pire which is to be held in London about -that !time. It is hot likely that Parliament will ,beready for prorogation before the departure of the Premier but it iesi possible bus- iness.- will be sufficiently advanced ;that his lieutenants tan' get along -without his supervision. This will give Mr. Fielding, who is said :to be slated for the leaderehip should any: thing :befell Sir Wilfrid 'that will cauee 'aim to step Beide, ani, oppor- tunity to display- his skill in that di- re:Mom A few deys ago the Premier intro- duced a motion ta memoriIize the Home Government to amend the Con- stitution so as to permit ofredoing and increasing the inderonitleif-Of the Provinces. It also provides for an ad- clitionat .grant of $100,000 for ten !care to British .Columbia. 'This last is over and a;bove the propor- tion -to the other Provinces. The in- crease corning -to Ontario will bes a- bout $780,000 s year. We have. yet tat be convinced that this is- a wise prceeeding.. These additional grants come out of the people. If the Pro- -duces had to provide for 'themselves they Would be mere: careful as to their expeciditures. But as they' re- ceive the :money from the Dominion traasury and it is collected by' the in- direct and circuitous method of the customs, the Provinces not being re- eronaible for its collection will be apt to look en it as found money and odll -treat it accordingly. While, therefore, the people • will have ,te contribute the several amounts they win not be likely to get the same value from its expenditure asiCif. the Provinces 'had to earee the money themselves. However, 'the 'Provinces were unanimous in making the de- enand on the Dominion and the peo- plemutt bear the consequence4erhat- ever they may 'be. Another very important measure was” introduced and 1' eceived its seeped ra-eding during the past week. This one -was by- the Ivlinieter of the In - teeter and is known as the North - seed Lends bill. Phe chief feature of this bill is to 'release for settle- mant what was known as ;tbe odd numbered sectiOns and 'to revive the preemption syetera. Western lands arc divided into oddenembered and even numbered sections, which lie a- 'Iongeicle• eaeh other in checker -board fashion; the only lands open to hoessteading are in the even -num- bered sections; and the odd number- ed :sections long have been treserved frcm the general public to furnish tir: great land grante which, in the earlier days it was cuetomcsry to more to railways. That policy has lone been -abondoned, `the railways wh'cli earned such grants have been eonetructed, their grants have been "-•rosed up," and the Governs-110nd finds itselfe with a mass of lands in " oridemacebered " eections - a.v ail abl e. It now Vurposee to throw these open for settlement. Mr. Oliver calculates 4112 area so placed in the market at 40.400,000 acres. The bill also provides for pre- en -feting as -well as hornestleading. In -ter early days of settlement, the r.er was given a homeatead, 160 aeve free on compliance with certain cre Os, and, in addition to this, he vets permit ted.to pre-empt 160 acres rt a -nominal price. This latter privi- lege was withdrawn several years ; eo. Mr. Oliver now proposes to re - estabileit it, and it ie to be Tetra, - active, se •-that any preeent horaee steader, as. well as any who nettY Yee oorne th, will be permitted to met letnpt a eharter seatione on the 'paya! ment of 4 nominal price, say- $3 per &ere. This -Vri11 enehle_ eVery home- steader to eequite, in-aciditiesi to his hometteed, 160 armee at $3 per acre, Which may; in reality,be worth $10 or $12 ten acre. Hon. Thor -nes Greeowey, who probe ably knowt. more about conditions in the new provinces than any other; men in -the .Hottee-, opposed 'this' tea - tate of the bill very strenuoulliY. He pointed ;out US injtistitie as wefl as its divageter: „He eard it 'would' cause a feeling of greet unreet throughoue the entire country. It would probably eatilefe the removal or 40,000 settlers froin the old, eettled parts o Manitoba to the pevr 'regions where a settler could get 320 acres instead of 160. It Would, : also, 'ent- courage a dangerous spirit or epeah- lation among the people. This spirit should be checked, 1 poesible, in- etea.d of" being encouraged.- Besidet 'this, it would atilt further encourage the desire among' farmers for large holdings: Thereat draw -back to the farmers in the new Northwest prov- inces le that -they try to farm' too Much. If they would ferin less and, and farm it 'better, it would be more: profitable ta thernselees and to the country. The Government sbould dis- coerage large 'holdings, insteed of holding out a direct incentive to that evil. - Sir Wilfrid asked that the Pill might ;receive itet second reading, so -it could be sent to the coMmittee, waere, tould be discusgied •elause- by clause: -This was done, and as the bill is not very favorehry received on either ,stde of the House, it will be very materi- ally changed 'before it becomes aaw, if it ever does. .The Objectionable system of pre-emption Should' be wiped out at any rate. The land in the Northwest -is, on the whole, good, and noesocleeirsducement as that pro- propossed -is required Ito encourage settlement The, Government *Should encourage ssnall 'holdings, -compact settlements , andetetter imebauctry.- Ws will ;be better for both the eat - tiers ,ancl 'the CountryIt will make forning more profitable and life morte pleasent. Another ,feature of this bill letr",that the income from this pre-empted land is to form/ a fund is a nuclede for the cenetruction of the new railway to the Hudson Bey, which ;the Gov- ernment intend having construeted as soon as possible.- If the Goverearienti would place this* 40;000,000 acres of odd 'numbered sections on 'the mark- et in' the regular way, and- dispose of them' by tacetion, subject tie pre- scribed ,settlenfent duties, they would probably 'raise redney enough from them to construct and equip this new railway and still have a considerattle mimic° to the good. The _Ontario Legetelature. There has been a good Ideal of hard week done ill the Legislature during the past week, tut it is of the kind that does not make much outsidt Show.: There is still, however, a good deal set to do and Judging from present appearances memter_s will not be home in time to do much spring plotighing. tt is an old- and trite -say- ing: "It never rains out It pOUria."' "This seems to 'oe the experience or the present ._Ontario Government in respect to fincyneial' matters. In the latter days or; their predeeereeers, they were continually harassed for money with which to meet tae grow- , requirements of the Province. But, almost as soon as their sucees- sors came into office they were fled& ed avail sr.otrey so that the treasury despite 'the large *increased expendi- tures, is absolutely overflowing and the end is not yet. And whet makee the situatien all the more exasper- ating to the outs is the fact_that all the sources of 'this overflowing re- venue were devised end develoDed ;by 'them :before going out oil officet and were just ahnost in. shape to re- alize the 'big 'results when they had to step -down and out tesd their oppon- ents stepped In and reaped where they 'had sown. But such is life. At any rate Mr, Matheson, the Provincial Treasurer, is now Patting himself on his expedations front the Dominion treasury, as the share which will come to Ontario on account of the proposed -redistribution: of the Provin- cial subsidies will a:nount to abeut 1$780,000 a year. `This l asnice little plum. There was a 'ripple of excitement on the Government 'benches the other day -when Mr. Boyer, the Conseas vative roes -Ober for Eat Kent, in his speech on the tudget set out to give the Government aua. especially the' Provincial Treasurer, 'some fatherly advice. Mr. Bowyer is 'not pleased with the attitude of the Government on the outbject of railway taxation. He hinted as mueh as that the Gov- erns:fleet 18 arraid of the tailway cor- porations and told Mr. Matheson, the Provincial Treasurer, In substance if not *in actual words, that he did not know What he was talking about when, a few days ago, he said that the heavy tax levied on the 'railways in Michigan and other states of the 'Union impeded the eontradion of needed *railways there. He. claimed the taxation of these corporations in Ontario Should be further increased to its "just and proper propoitione" Which he defined "the same rate at which other property was taxed, namely, at its actual value." He advocated the appointment of a Pro- vincial Board of Assessors for this purpose, and claimed 'that at least 75 per centof the taxi thus created Should be returned to the municipal- ities. Mr. Bowyer Is a . etudent of his 'neighbor, ex -M. P. P. Petty - piece, of Batt Larabton. They are both 'newspaper men, and although Mr. Bc>wyer is a Conservative he represepts .a constituency wrich used to be a Grit hive and -which many times elected old Robt. Ferguson by majorities up into the hundreds. Whether or not these*conditions have anything to do -with Mr. Bowyer' s in- dependence we are pot prepared 'to sar, but we do know he is on the right traek and he has struck a key note which is most popular inthe country. There are still several Government measures to be disposed of., The Ed- ucational bills have not yet seenthe light of (ley; the Joint Stoek Com- pany's act is still on the' stocks ad the railway amendment act is yet to come. BeWles these there are seie eral private measures and totiees of motions wheih should be productive of interesting discussions, as foe le - stance Mr. 'Graham's motion declar- ing tor the. abolition of the three fiTates clause in the Local .Qption law. Both Goveennlent and members hav 'been taking matters quite leisurel and there has 'been little discuSelo of Interesit this seesaw'.

She was a native of Roascorrenon, Ireland, and came to this country alone, when quite' a 'young woman and first lo- cated in Toronto. She had reached the age of 84 years. Fifty-six years ago on the 10th of January last, ehe was married to her now'bereaved and aged huSbantl. On that -day four cou- ples were married at the Irishtown church. These were Mr. and Mrs. Mtn McCann, of Hibbert; Mr. and Mrs; Ed. Roach, McKillop; Mr. and Mrs. John Nevin, Carrenbrook, and Mr. and MTh. John McConnell, nib - bort.

About five years- ago Mrs. McConnell had the misfortune to fall and fracture her hip, from which injury She ' never recovered and had been confined to bed most dr the time.
