Doubtless the 33 would legis lute like vengeance if thoy had any: thing on which to legislate, but there really is nothing of any con- sequence, nothing at least but what might be accomplished by five men in a couple of days. The very worst enemics of the Council, if they have any, could scarcely help sympathizing with them in their struggle to putin the allotted week. If the business of the Local Logis Jature were added to that of the County Council there might be some reason for sending down some thirty- three full grown men; but no man, especially no member ot the County Council, will attempt to assert that five or it may be seven " men would not do. the business very much better and in much Yess time than ean be done by the famouns 33. Why should the ratopayers be called upon to pay some fifteen hundred or two thousand dollars for tho man. agemont of our few County affairs where a couple or three hundred dollars might more than suffice ?-- Certainly no one will pretend that more than one session in the year is at all necessary or that more can serve any good purpose. Tho time may have been when two meetings wach year was necessary, but that «ay has gone by, and to attempt to heep up the furce any longer is neither just nor generous. But the evil of unnecessary meetings as well a8 unnecessary members are not con fined to Counties Councils for these wvils are exporienced in an aggrav. uted form in many other of our © legislative bodies; but if municipal councils which of all other legis- lative bodies ought to stand by and defend the interests of the people, "countenance and sanction extravag- ance whether in unnecessarily large numbers or in more meotings than are necessary, or if the people will tolerate such Counties Councils, with what consistency can we complain of othor legislative bodies when they impose umnccessary burdens upen us. In all conscience it is time, bigh time, for "down brakes." There to-day an indebtedness of not less than three hundred million dollars resting on the confederation between dominion and othor municipal "in- debtedness, and we are adding to the debt every day.

Division Courts. The public at large will hail with satisfaction any measure tending to enlarge the jurisdiction of our Division Conrls even to the swamp- ing of County Courts. If there be any who would oppose such a change they can only be found in the legal ranks of the lowest grade of those who plead in the County Courts. In all conscience if we must take a dose of law it should not be made more bitter than js ne- cossary and it need not be aggravated by heaping unnecessary costs upon it An extension of the jurisdiction of Division Courts would be regarded with much favor and the wiping out ot County Courts would be hailed with general satisfaction. County Councils, minor municipal Councils and in fact all should join in urging Local Legislature. 'Wednenday, 21st --The House got to work at 3 p.m, There were ten bills introduced and read a first time, none of which was of any public interest. Mr. Baxter introduced the subject of school books which was hitherto under the control of the EducationDepartment and Las proved an unmitigated fraud on the public, causing parents to pay at least twenty-five per cent. more for school books than should be, are aware of this ing them most , 5 couraging while Mr, Crooks, a Za Mowat, shoves the thing over by tho stereotype phrase, "the matter is under consideration," Mr. Creighton proposed sr amendment to the Liquor License Act so as to save un- necessary expense in the working of the law, Mr. Mowat, with his accustomed honesty or rather insolence, said that the bon. member for North Grey was endeavoring to anticipats the Provincial Secretary just for the purpose of making capital; the bill should come from the Government and Ithat being the case the Government did not think it desicable that a bill introduced by « private. member on such a vital subject should be passed. Any bill of that kind would be passed ou the responsibility of the Government only, Mr. Merrick advocated the "abolition of the office of License Inspector or the ap- pointment of such officers by the munici- pality who paid them. This would prevent the use of the Inspectorsiby the Government as political agents. He strongly urged the passage of the present bill on the ground that it would make the bringing down of the information compulsory rather than volunt- ary, Mr Harkin, while supporting the bill, complained of the large expense which the working of the Crook's Act entailed. He had sa.'d that it would be expensive when it was intrc duced, and events Lad justified his Rev, Mr, ing. guests and the than the first, expectations, That such a Amendment is urgently de~ mauded no one Mut & Government hack will deny, but when it comes to a vote we find both Dryden and Pax.'on voting azainst it.-- to the intendent The M.
