We do not hold ourselves responsible for the opinions of our Correspondents. Speech by N. Clark Wallace. Mr. Wallace, M. P. for West York, made the following speech on the Elecâ€" toral/r Franchise Bill now before the House. We copy his remarks for the purpose of placing his views before our readers, and we have every reason to suppose that he is able and willing to substantiate what he laid before the House. He does not touch upon all the features of the Bill, but it does not follow on that account that he is not in sympathy with the same, We made use of the following remarks two years ago which we have no reason now to recall : “ But the worst feature in connection with voting for members of the House of Commons is that a man who is enâ€" titled to vote in Ontario could not do so in other Provinces. In Prince Edward Island manhood suffrage is the law practically, and this should be the case allover the Dominion. Any young man, whether he is a farmer’s son, or the son of a merchant, manufacturer, or me- chanie, should have a say in electing our rulers. Of course restrictions will be made regarding residence in the country, etc., but every intelligent lawâ€"abiding citizen who pays taxes to the Governâ€" ment,â€"â€"and every working man in the country pays taxes,â€"â€" should have a voice in saying how the taxes shall be imposed, and who shall govern the country. Mr. Mowat stopped short in the work. The Dominion Government should pass a law making manhood sufi rage the rule throughout the Whole country. Sir John would not lose any friends by such a liberal act.” “ Mr. Wallace (York. I will exâ€" plain to the House why cannot agree in the remarks made by hon. gentlemen opposite. The hon. member from Prince Edward County (Mr. Platt) declares, with a great deal of confidence, that the Conservative party are opposed to this measure; perhaps that hon. gentleman has greater means of knowing the views of the Conservative party than hon. gentlemen on this side. All I can say is that it'he takes any consolation in the’ idea that the Conservative party will oppose that motion, he is greatly misâ€" taken. We have seen that two memâ€" bers ofthe Conservative party have voted against this measure on the second read-l ing of the Bill, but I apprehend they did so on the ground that it extends the franchise a great deal further than they‘ care to go. That the franchise is too lib~‘ oral a measure to suit their views, and therefore they oppose it, I favor the Bill now under discussion for several reasons. The hon. member for Prince Edward County (Mr Platt) stated to this House a few moments ago that this Bill changed the electorate and restricted the number of' votes in Ontario. I deny that in folo. I have here a number of voters’ lists from various municipalities in the riding which I have the honor to represent. and I cannot find one name of all whom I knowâ€"and I am pretty familiar with the inhabitants of the ridingâ€"who were on the voters’ lists in 1882 who will be struck off by this Franchise Bill. In 't’aet, I find that this Bill not only increases the number}1 of those by whom we were elected in; 1882, but increases the number of votesl given by the new Franchise Act of the Local Government passed at the last Session. I find that,in my constituency, there are more than 500 voters who had votes at the previous election who met disfranchised by Mr. Mowat’s recent Act, and. in the name of those 50.0 mt: TRAEN TIME “@111: 330131: 33mm.

GOOHGOIJ‘ E3: 05: ‘ an election, he would have the power to ers, including some members on the other side of the House, I protest against the disfranchisement of such a large number of voters in any constituâ€" ency in this country. In one township alone, the township of York, or rather only the west half of the township of Iork, 419 of those who had votes in 1882 will be disfranchised by Mr. Mowat’s recent Act. I say such an outrageous Act has never been brought before the people of the country. By that measure, without letting the people know, giving six days’ notice before the Act was finally passed, without letting the people know the scope of the Act, what would be the consequence of it,they have disfranchised a large portion of the voters of this county, and those voters are not the least intelligent of our conâ€"- stitueuts. They are gentlemen who have property in various places. I mention the name of William Howland, which) appears here, who has property to the extent of $80,000 or $100,000 in the ~ \Vest Riding of York. Mr. Mills. He votes in Toronto. Mr. \Vallace. He had avote in West York in 1882, and he exercised his vote. and he exercised it in 1883 in the local election, and in 1884, if there had been A~e~¢ramns exercise his vote, but, by the Bill inâ€" troduced and passed by Mr. Mowat, Sir \Villiam Howland will be disfranchised. He will not have the privilege of voting on $100,000 worth of property he owns in the West Riding of York. We are told that he will have a vote somewhere else. We are not aware of that. He may not be assessed somewhere else. I am not aware of it. But he had a vote in West York, and he loses that. The people who are disfranchiscd are among the most intelligent. They are the large property owners of this country, and I will defy hon. gentlemen opposite to point out a Franchise Bill, of which the chief basis is voting on real estate, which disfranchises a large portion of‘ those who own a great amount of propâ€" erty, We can understand that, under universal sufirage, or manhood suffrage, where property is not the basis of repreâ€" sentation at all, a man holding property , is registered in one place and has a vote ‘ only in that place, but those gentlemen cannot point out to me any Franchise Act, in any country where property is the basis of the qualification, and where, as in Mr. Mowat’s Act, property is alâ€" most the sole basis of qualification, beâ€" cause the income franchise and the wage-earner franchise do not materially increase the number of voters on the list, by which large owners of property are disfranchiscd. Mr. Mowat disfranch‘ises a large number of those property owners, the largest property owners in this country, and heis not courageous enough to go the step further required of him if' he were consistent, and give universal suffrage. I vote for this Bill because it is going to be the fairest Franchise Act that this country, or the portion of it in which I reside, has ever had. My own experience is that, when you get a lot of Grit assessors in your riding, you cannot have confidence that a fair result is reached, and that these who are entitled to be on the assessment roll and on the voters’ list are placed there. Our exâ€" perience in the West Riding of York, where we have had Grit assessors, is that we have each year to appeal against the assessment, and to get 40 or 50 names added to the voters’ list which : were left otf by the assessors. Mr. McCr'auey. What about Toxy assessors? Mr. Wallace. It" hon. gentlemen opâ€" posite have no more confidence in the Tory assessors than I have in the Grit assessors, they will vote for this Bill and try to make it law. I consider that this Parliament should have the making of its own franchise. I think it would be just as reasonable to ask the Local Legâ€" islatures to define the boundaries of our constituencies, which I have. no doubt they would very gladly do if they had the opportunity, I think it would be just as reasonable to ask them to conduct the Whole machinery of the elections, as to give them the power of regulating and constructing the voters’ lists. If they are to have that power, which hon. gentlemen opposite think is so necessary in the interests of provincial rights, why not go further and give them the power of running the elections ? The Dominion Government will say : We have dissolved the House, we must have an election, we call upon the Local Government of Ontario, to carry out the election of 92 members, and the Local Government of Quebec to elect G5 in Quebec, and so on in other Provinces; We want you to return the members, to work up all the machinery. and send to us the members who are to be elected. If there is a principle involved in it, why not let the Local Governments do the whole of the work ? Why not even go still further, and let the county councils manage the elections for the Local House? Why not say to the County of York, for Inâ€" stanee, that the county council knows the people better than the Local Leg- islature knows them, and that it is do â€" sired to fix the local lists, to make a law, and to send three or four repre- sentatives, as the case might be, from the county of York ; because, if the Local Legislature ought to work up all the machinery for the election of memâ€" bers to the Dominion Parliament, why should not the county councils be given the power to do the same for the Local Parliament? Surely hon. gentlemen opâ€" posite have sufficient confidence in the people to allow them to do that. But I while the hon. gentlemen expressed great ‘faith and confidence in the people, they are in fact diametrically opposed to givâ€" ing them additional power as we find in the conduct of the Local Government of Ontario in restricting rights of the county council and centralisinar all the power in themselves that should belong to the county and township councils; 'and now they are bold enough to come to this Parliament and say: We want not only the powers that are given by the Confederation Act, we want not only our own powers, but we want the powers that are given, precisely and equivocally. to the Dominion Government. I think1 Mr. Speaker. that although this Bill may involve additional expense, and consider- able trouble, the expense and the trouble will be amply repaid by our having a] list that will reflect the true opinions of the people of this country. I shall, therefore, give my cordial and hearty support to this measure. which will preâ€" vent the best portion of our people from being disfranchised, and will add to the list the name of every man who has a right to be there; which will give all the safeguards that the people require to al- low them to put their names on the votâ€" ers’ list, which will give them an appeal, which they have not now, from the county judgesâ€"in fact it will give them everything they require, and will send to this House a set of representatives who will better reflect the opinions of the people of this country than could be returned under any other system that we have ever had. Riel has given himself up. The next thing will be to know what to do with him. If the Dominion Government act‘ harshly with him. the Opposition press will play upon the feelings of his ad- mirers and sympathisch in Quebec. Yes, and even in Ontario, has he many warmâ€"but perhaps secretâ€"friends. On the other hand, if Sir John does not carry out the extreme penalty of thelaw, then great will he the outcry, the most will be made of it. Nothing too bad or severe will be good enough to hurl at the unfortunate head of Sir John. It, perhaps, would have been better if' he had made his end in battle. There is ‘one thing, we think, the country may T be contented to know, that justice will be meted out to Riel and those who are acting with him,be the consequences What they may. Rev. Wm.

Out of 2,000 patients treated during the past six months, fully ninety per cent. have been cured of this stubborn malady. This is none the less startling when it is remembered that not five per cent. of patients presenting themselves to the regular practitioner are benefitted, while the pat- ent medicines and other advertised cures never record a cure at all. Starting with the claim now generally believed by the most scientific men that the disease is due to the presence of living parasites in the tissue; Mr Dixon at once adapted his cure to their exterminationâ€"this ucâ€" complished, he claims the Catnrrh is practically cured, and the permanency is unquestioned, as cures efl'ected by him four years ago are cures Still. No one else has ever attempted to cure luturrh in this manner, and no other treatment has ever cured Catarrh. The application of the remedy is simple. and can be done at home, and the present season of the year is the most fav- ourable for a speerlv and permanent cure, the majority of on 398 being cured at one treatment.

THREE STRAIGHT GAMEs.â€"â€"The first Lacrosse match of' the season was played on the fair grounds in this village, on Saturday afternoon last, between the Victorias of Parkdale,and Young Canaâ€" dians. The game throughout was rather exciting, although very inferior play was shown in both teams, which was owing to the want of practice, and as this was the first match either club had played this season, it will certainly be excused. The first, second and third games were won by the Young Canadians in 10, 34, and 7 minutes respectively. A Pugsley putting the ball through the first two games, and the third being knocked through in a scuffle. The Parkdalians seemed to have the advantage both in size and Weight, and were a very gentle~ manly lot of young men. A number of ladies were in attendance, which the boys say, added much to the pleasure of the game. ALL ARE INVITEDâ€"As this will be our last issue before the Queen‘s Birthâ€" day, we would extend a hearty invitation to people living in the country, adjoin-â€" ing villages and in fact all over, to come to Richmond Hill on Monday next, Queen‘s Birthday, if they are anxious to have a pleasant day’s recreation. The ladies of the Methodist and Presbyterian Churches will supply their annual dinner and tea, and will be delighted to have a call from their friends, In the afternoon the Annual Spring Exhibition takes place, and promises to eclipse anything formerly held. The Concerts to be held in the Presbyterian and Methodist Churches in the evening will be the grandest and best entertainments ever before held in this section, and we trust that both may be largely attended.
