Mr. LAUDER -Where we: that? Mr. FRASER said that, of course, no one expected wounoy of inforumtion or state- ment from the hon member for Euturey, however luminous hie speeches to the H use might be. (Laughton) Mr FRASER said he only statei that the hon. member was not very accurate in his statements, though, of course, it might be been" he was not in possession of the farts. (Loud laughter.) lie read from the Mail's report of Mi. Macdougall's speech to the electors of Markham, according to which that gentleman had stated that he would not enter Parliament as the representative or in the special interests of any party; that he would not go into the House as a member of the Conservative party as at present organ- ind; that if he had had a seat in the last Parliament he would not have supported a vote of want of oonfhUnim in Mr. Mowatu Administration. Yet, al- though not a single Act had been passed in the interim, not a single thi had been done to make him change his oanion, the mem- ber tcr South Simcoe was now in the House as a strong opponent ot the Government. He ( Mr. Macdougall) had furtherame stated that he didn't think he could fiat a l.aili iient justifieatlon for helping to turn Ott the (in. mnment and putting in the .003ng leader of the 0 position, yet he was new found doing his but to secure that end. He Gd 'nrther on in his speech stated that before thinking of turning out the Government they should show that there were men of ad. ministrative ability to take their places. He prrceeded to quote from the other reported utterances of Mr Macdougall, in which he cia med at some places to be a Liberal Con- so! vative, at others to be Conservative Liber. al, and that he would support a vote of want of contidenco in the present Govern- ment. He (Mr. Fraser) had made mention of the faot that the hon member for East Toronto had made use of some rather curious expressions with regard to the mem- ber for South Simcoe. Mr. LAUDRR-I Inbmit, M r. Speaker, that the hon. gentlemen ia not in order. Mr. CAMERt tN--1 antertnlned very much the "no opinion of Mr. Smdtield Mndon- ald before IMT, though not quite so bad. (Loud laughter and chem-l.) Mr. FRASER went on to quote . speech delivered by Mr. Cameron, in which he had spoken of Mr. Maodougoll on having boxed the political oompua, apd, had outed that it tsuiigee, were to be made in our Conatitutton they should be made by name one more re- liable than Mr. Mecdougell.

The Government railway policy demanded the most careful and a. portant consideration of the House. m understood that the principles on which that policy was to be based were that the enter- prises to be aided should be --firat, new lines tetsdinj,'tohvelop the back country. and second, old lines of Provincial im. portance. But the Government should consider how these principles had been acted upon in the past, for he was satisfied that only one-eighth of the Railway Aid Fund had been given to the firat named class of enterprises, while seven-eighths had heen given to old undertakings. It would I be exceedingly difficult to frame a measure for giving additional aid to any railways, and the very announcement of such TTe.te.t1i' carried with it the proof that the Govern- i went had not been tmflieient1y careful in carrying out the provisions of the I Act. otherwise the grants would have been tusth'cient to have effected their completion. l hr Mr, Wiz1e-w The House ad iottrnU, Mr. 8COTT confessed that he had alweys hold the opinion that the Minister of Public Works had proceeded to eevernl sections in order to Him lecturinn issue.
