'l‘uppcr had pcisisted in declarng that they should have donc more. relic-rat.- lllg his opinion in most umuistakablo terms not many days ago. in his speech during the debate on the Ad (lll':~>. when he had all the facls before him and was in possession of the cor- Irospoudeucc which had tzuki-u place upon the subject. Moro mature con- sllll'lzllltlll. however, has enabled him to Sec that the Government was right in what it had done and that his mi!- icism was ill-advised. llo admitted that the colonies bad. by the deliber- ate decision of [be llnpv-l'ial :ullil:u1‘â€" itles. been all plact d on the some Ioniâ€" ing, that the Dominion was doing oxâ€" actly the same as the ()lllcl' colonics, and that there was no (liltcrcuccin llletrcatmcut to be cxtcndcd to our volunteers from that which the rcpi oâ€" sentatives of the colonial empire would receive. He therefore williâ€" drew flll'lllcr opposition to tthov. Icrmnent’s policy. it is of course sali» factory and gratifying to receive evcu this tardy acknowlcdgremcnl, but it. is difficult tonvuid the impression ilthL Sir Charles might (-asily have arrived at this conclusion much earlier, bad he not imagined that political capital (‘Ullld be made by the antagonistic alâ€" titude he has up to this time assumrd. SA'I‘ISFiEl’) THEM: THTRST FUR. KNOWLEDGE. The order papcr of the llouse. of Commounis ol'tcu loaded down with all manner of frivolous questions by members of the Opposition, who do not appear to consider it beneath their dignity to waste lbc time of Parlia- ment, by makng inquiries of the mos-t trifling character upon subjects which cannot be. of the slightest. public inâ€" tercsl‘.or Value. \Vliile many of the enquiries madcarc no doubt for llle. honest ;lll'pUSl‘ of eliciting: useful and tween try information. they inc lilien )uudoubtcdly put down simply in the ' hope ofelnbarrassing the Government, but sometimes llic inquisitive member gets a Roland for his Oliver. An in- stance of this kind occurred on Thurs- day afternoon when chief Opposition - whip Taylor of Leeds wanted to know how many copies of Sir Richard Cart- wright’s recent Toronto speech had been printed, how they were paid for, if government stationery Was used and departmental employee occupied in addressing envelopes and franking privileges utilized to send them through the mails. Sir Richard promptly replied that, he believed sev- eral hundred thousand had been issued, but as there was so much valuable in- formation therein hc regretted the number had not been largcr, that no government, cmploycs had been on- gaged in addressing or mailing the same, and that only a very small proâ€" portion, if any, had been franked through the mails. Recognizing the anxiety of the. Opposition for the full- est information, Sir Richard proceed- ed amid ministerial cheers and laugh- ter, to quote from the Alltllt()l‘-()i(‘llol'- al’s report (luring Conservative regime a number of items where civil servants had been elupluycd in preparing and sending out Conservative campaign literature and paid for out of public moneys. PARTY (‘AUCL‘SES Each side has held a caucus since the. session opened and in each case im- portant business was transacted. The Opposition led the, way on the second day of the session when tllcy decided thzltrit, would be inadvisable to offer an amendment to the Address, but that it Would rather be the part of wisdom to assume a Micawbcrdike al.- titudc and wait, \viLli what hope and patience they might, for something,r to turn up. The first Govermm'ut caucus was held on St. Valentine’s day and was mainly for the pmpnsc of filling the vacancy of chief Ministerial \\'liip created by the rclircment of lluu. st. Sutherland. The choice fell upon Mr. “'illiam Gibson who has represented Lincoln fol-the past nine years, and than “‘111 m a more popular man is not to be found on either side of the House. The local whips sclcclt-d to ass st .‘lr. Gibson were )lcssrs. Calvcit (“'cst llitldlnsox), and Frost (Leeds l and Grenville), for Ontario, Flint and l l I Savard and Bourassa for Quebec, and Bostock for the \Vcsl. srnATHcoxA‘s HORSE.
