Sir Wilfrid Laurier suggested that
it be allowed to stand, as it was the
intention of the Government after re-
cess to act on tbe suggestion that n
committee of the ITouse should be
appointed to investigate and consid-
er the whole question of electoral
corruption and reform of the elec-
tion laws.
How to Cheek Corruption.
Mr. Charlton then went on to ex-
plain the main encase of his bill,
which he thought Would prove a
cheek on election eorruptlon. Ile field
that if something was not idone to
purify elections the sense of the sanc-
tity of the ballot and even of obli-
gation would be dissipated through-
out Canada. Legislation should be
brought in to stamp out corrupt
practices. Ile favored Mr. Borden's
scheme to have a publie prosecutor
in ivory riding to watch eleetiott
cases. This idea might be adopted
by the proposed committee. ' In this

framed in a bough of apple blossoms.
Her eyes were as blue as forgetme-

I haven't any sense, you know."
"That's one of your attractions,"

Mr. Borden aslod when the report
of the cattle guard commission
might be expected to bo brought
down.
Mr. Blair replied that several
tests were yet to be made,
but that the report would be
forthcoming at an early date.
Exclusive Fishing Rights.
Mr. Lancaster was told that cer-
tain parties had got exclusive fish-
ing rights in James' Bay for a ren-
tal of $10 a month, on Nov. 28,
1902.
George Clare was informed that
Michael Robson, former postmaster
of Ayr, has resigned.
Sir Wilfrid told the House that he
had received a petition from the
Dawson Board of Trade regarding
the Treadgold water concessions. Ho
had replied that he could not pro-
mise to bring in legislation this ses-
sion along this line. The whole mat-
ter was under consideration by the
Government, but nothing definite had
been dono.
Sir William Mulock answered two
questions, put by Dr. Roche, regard-
ing postmasters, who are said to be
candidates in the Manitoba elec-
tions. Sir WVflliani said that if a
postmaster was a candidate, he could
not draw salary, and would have to
resign his Government position.
Jabel Robinson was told that
765,767 bunches of bananas, valued
at $738,168, were imported into

The Dominion Mercantile Marine
Association presented its case to the
Government yesterday morning.
Mr. Blair said he recognized the
fact that American ports were get-

was not sure that this was due to
the canal tolls imposed in Canada.
Altogether he was of the opinion.

She was coming up the walk, her

ragtime tunes with which she scandal-

"She do seem to be Light headed," ob-
served her uncle, Samuel Morris. "But,
then, she's a good hearted thing."
She could not remember her parents.
They had died when she was so little.
She seemed to be a sort of accident in
her uncle and aunt's family, a rather
burdensome and unpleasant one, which
by God's grace they must put up with.
They lived in an qld, old house on the
outskirts of a quaint, rambling old vil-
