SPxJOULE AND THE KNIGHT Wo derote considerable space this wook to a Hauaard roproduction of Iho ti>: betweeu Dr. Sproulo aiid Wr Cliarles Tupper, when the latter at- lompted to rea^ tiio member for East iire> out of the party. Sir Cliarles Tapper's heroics arc read with much aiausemeut by the electors of East Grey. As the Dr. remarked, the people are exceedingly anxious to^pro- uouucc upon this mati3r themselves. They do not believe in allowing this p&rlisiw^nt (or rather Sir Charle* Tuppcr) to settle the que»tion in the peicinptory manner contemplated. They rccognizo the perilous positiou in which the government has placed iUolf. and have iltimauded in effect that Dr. Sproule abandon if need hd- to Attain his cud the wreck which ijecma inevitable, because they wish Lim â-  still to represent them. The jfoverumeut in its blindncBS appears to fancy that the Dr. does not thor- oughly understand the ground on which ho is standing, v/horcus there is no member of the present pailia- ment more tlioroughiy in touch with the senlimcnt of the people ho repre- aeiits than is the member for East Grey. If the parliament as a whole, and bh' Chuilcs T upper in particular, uiiderstood tho puls\j of tho country as does Dr. Hproiilo, and defenod to its desires, tlio present travebty on respoiisiblo guveinmeut would never have been enacted. of men who believe in a certain set of principles and who subordinate minor differences of opioiiion in order to fur- ther oaseiitini causes. Taut is employed to make op[)ositc intcrosts tolerant of each otlior. When lenders grow old in leadeniliip they seem to forget the volun- tary nature of Iho support tlmt thoy have enjoyed, and rcgunl tills support as coiu- pulaory. Thoy seem to hold that tlic Party in tho Owvenniiont, and tliiit the Govonimunt is the Party ; thiit tlio prin- ciples which, finding favor throughout the land, resolved all sorts and conditions of men into union as a party, may be violated, yet the union bo not diKolved. " What will it profit us if we do right and lose power ?" the leaders ask, thinking it clever to gain the support of those who favor the wrong and denying the riglit of secession to those who o])po8e the wrong. This would l)e a clever enougli way of re- taining power if it could bo camod thruugli, but adherence to party is volun- tary and cannot be forced, and while monvbers of Parliament may bo whii)i)od into line or bought by ])roiiiise of oftico, the lash cannot reach to tho people, witli- uiit whose sanction no departure in i)olicy holds good, and without wliose creative toucli k'lulcrsaro effigies of straw.â€" Mack in Saturday Night. . ^ n #>« * â-  â€" Dr. Spr/ale and Sir Chas.

Tlie following report of tin affair is taken from the Uanaard, and will prove ih''.ereitioK to our readers. Sir Charles Tupparsaid,â€" "Notwithstand- ing the fact that a number of gentlemen supporlitii; tho Ooveriiiiiont, warm and determined supiiorters of the (jovernmcnt among whom I do not include the hon- membar for Ka-.t Grey (Mr. Sproulo,) because no perbon could have liateiiud to that hou. gRniler..nn's spooch without see- ing that liii otijeot, in common with sonio gentlemen with whom he was iillyiii); hiiuself, waa for the purpose of breaking down and destroying the Goveriiim.'nt of which be was a supporter. If further evidence of ilie posiliuii of that lion, gentleman is rei^uirud, it is to be found in his attempt at obstruction to-diiy by attacking tho Govoriinn-nt." To this tirade Dr. Sproule replied vi^jnnmsly, as follows ; "Tlie hoii. gen- tliMiiAii s&ys that the pnH.Ha;{o of this bill is vital to the peace and traiiipiitity rf the people. W'liy, thin measure is the very thing that is Stirling up strife from tho very foundations ipf society in this country, and stirring up an agitation the results of wliioh no oiiocin fi>rosee. The hoii. i^iit'unun declare that he rcgnrils it as of hrst iuiporlnuco ihnt this incaMiro should bu forced tIii'OU,;li. Is ho aware of the feeling in tho counlry against tlie inta-HiUB?

Dr. Sproulo wont on to say :- "Wo were tohl tho olhor evening by thii lion. Minister of Itailwiiys and (Canals (Mr. Haggart) that the peoplo uf tliis country wore un- animous in favor of tlio bill, and vrmiid be unaiiimoin when the tiiin* oame f(u- Ihoni to record their verdict. luhnllenge the bou. gentleman lo resigr to morrow and oomo into my ridiiii;, and I will re- ai^'n and run nj-'niiiat liim.

I can prove to them what the publicsonM.- meltt is on this quostinii beyond any cim- tradiction, because ;t will be ahowip. lo ]yiiaii<1y that thryi will not be able: to cloao their eyes to it. Look at the vote Why, this measure was carried by the votes of tho members of tho Goveriiraeiit themselves. In England it would be held, if a Government were obliged lo carry a measure by the votes of the Minsters of the Crown ihemselves and tho votes of a few of their opponents, that they had not the confidence of the country. That is the position practically io which the Government stands to-day. Referring to tlie char);o that he was obstructing. Dr. Sproulo said: â€" "Are , we supposed to bo afraid to express our views ? Have we no rights in this House ? We have rights that we are prepared to asseit even against gentlemen .vho are trying to coerce this House as much as they are trying to coerce Manitoba. I had a perfect ri«ht to bring up the mat- ter as I did. And I think still that I had that right notwithstanding the casiiijation I have received from tho leader of tho House, which I may say I regard as of very little force in contndling me either in tho House or outside of it. lie says it is important that we should work night and day. But for tho Prst forty days we danced attendance here around the Parlia- mant buildings with nothing to do, v;hile the expense of the session wat goini; on just the same. Did we have the estimates brou^jht down ? No ; we were waitin-j for the hon. member to be brought In as the salvation of the country, who was, by force of will, to push throuiih everything with such vit;i>r that there was to bo no (diKtructi'in or opposition. He has sue cceded most remarkably, T mu^t say. He has raised itreat noiKo, but he has effected very little in the way of legislation."

Claridge an employee in Trvin's lumbor mill liad a very narrow escape fr<m a terrible death on M<mday last. He and Amoa Oohcen were haling a (food nutuiod tussel in the 011^1110 roout. Herb. foil with his hen(l bptwieti tho drivini^ shaft and wall with Gohecn on top. Tho shaft as it rov(>lved struck tho latter but he was able to pull himself out. Herb, was not so fortunate as the first blow stuiincdbiui. Ho was unable to exiricale hiiiisfilf and it wai impossible for Goheoi, to do so until the engine was stopped. Seven times the shaft struck him, each time making a teriible scalp wotuid. It was perhaps as close a shave as a man ever had and escaped death.
