D BLOUGE Markham l The fifth session of the eighth Par- liament of Canada has opened in prop- m- form and with all duo constitutiun- nl pomp and circumstance of state, and on Monday next, Her Mnjf‘stvy‘s % faithful Commons will settle. down to what promises to be an unusually ro- ltracked and tedious session. he speech from the throne which is al- Iways anticipated as a kind ufin‘tm- lduutory notice (5f the Gavel-mnent’s programme, for once fulfilled its pur- pose. forecasting an amount of pro- gressive. constructive legislntiun fur _ “have the average. V‘. .0..- .V Â¥_.,nr. m’fhe opeâ€"nng paragraph naturally referred to matter-s in S0uth_Africn :md to the prompt assistance so enthusiastically tendered hy the Gov- ei-nmenb and people of the Dominion and so cordially acet-pted by the Motherland. The splendid develop- ment of tmde which has marked the regime of the present Administration received attention, and the promise was made that action would be taken to provide for the proper INSPECTION OF FOOD STUFFS intended for expot t, a course frequent- ly advocated in these letters. The de- velopment of trade with the VVe-st In- dies and South America was also promised special attention. In behalf of the working classes reference was made to the spgcial regulations recent- 1y promulgated by the Governmentl for the purpose of insuring adequate provision for the sanitary protection I and medicalcnre of all men \vorkin i (m raiiwas‘s and public, works, wig! legislation was promised for the pur» l puse of providing boards of arbitration i to :LSSist in the adjusting of labor" tron llles. _ _ I Measures are also foreshadowed to renew and amend existing banking laws, to regulate the rate of interest, payable upon judgments recovered in courts uf law, to provide for the taking of the next decennial census, fur the better arrangement of the doctoral districts. t0 amend the criminal code, and so forth and so on. Truly a sub- stmxtial first; instalment, and an evi- dence that the. Government is by no means satisfied to rest upon its 031's, though its record far surpasses any 0f its precvdvssm-s in splendid results. This fact, has apparently only acted as an incentives in grezl-tez-vef’fut-its during the balance of the life of this Pan-12::- menl'. The speech of the Minister of Public Works at, the Young Liberal Club banquetinTomntu has attracted an unusual amount of attention, partly because itl was the first occasiun in which Mr. Tarte haul the opportunity of meeting an Ontario audience since the sending out of the cmlimgents, and partly because a full and fair re- port of what. he actually did say has been given to the mummy. in satis- - n' r 7 ~ 7 - actory contrast to the garhlpd and m- accumte reports which have been pub- lished of his recent speeches in the Province of Quebec. \The Minister stated his position frankly and fully, and it was exactly the position he had taken from the first, though his reiteration of it had been made necessary by the persistent misrepresentation of his opponents. He declared that when the first con-g tingent was spoken of, “nobody thought that the war with the Trans- vaal would be a war, We all thought it would be a kind of pleasure expedi- tion, that was the. general opinion not only here but everywhere. My per- sonal opinion was that the Canadian ‘Governnient before doing anything should have called Parliament to- gether; that was my opinion then, it is still my opinion. \Vhen British re- = verses came, when we all found out what we had to face, that the British empire had to face. a serious war, the question came of sending another body of troops. I think I betray no confidence in saying that I did not op- pose the sending of the second con- tingent. Very far from it. I con- curred with my colleagues, and when ‘ the time came for sending the second ~ body of troops I did not hesitate one 1 minute." Surer none but the most prejudiovd opponent can object to such a position and it is the position Mr. Tarte has maintained from the first. True pa- triotism dons not consist in shouting, and the empiro at large does not; doubt I Canada’s sterling loyalty because her Government refused to go into hyster- ics. but proceeded in a calm and states- nmnlike manner to act promptly and viiiciently, being ready with the nee-dâ€" od aid even before the' time specified or expected by the Home authorities.
