Commis- sioner or Public Works exercised such an influence over the Government " to induce them to decide that snchachungs should not tako place. If this Commissioner was entitled to dictate the policy of the Government, ho (Mr. Meredith) thought the country was psyhm too deer for his services. No one, in his opinion, could Justify the policy of exemption.

He could tell hon. gentle men that cities exerc- sed n large influence, nut that the Government could not affrsrd to overlook their interests. It was too much the habit of the Home to deal tttet with city constituencies in order to please the rut constituencies. It was the duty of the Government to protect the week sgsinst the strong, lnstvsd of imposing upon them burdens which they ought not to beer.

Last year, when argu- ments had been advanced from the Up- position side of tho House in favour of the passage of these Bills, tho Attorney-General had ur ed that the objections preferred against the " 0m- nigus Bill tt were not tenable, but still he had intro. duced amendments 'to the general Bill to meet some of these objections. He thought it was out of place for the member for Kingston to charge political motives to the conduct of Opposition members, seeing that that hon. gentle- man's action had been con emned by the Orange body. It was the intention to introduce these Bills , this session, and he would explain the reason why they were not introduced. some hon. members sup- porting the Government had told him last session that they would vote for these Bills it they Were assured that their constituents would support them in so do- ing. It had been intended, therefore, to circulate petitions in the constituencies represent- ed by such members, and getting them l signed by so many of the supporters of these hon. gentlemen' " would convince them thst their tears in that respect were groundless. It was, however. found quite impossible toget these petitions in time to present to the House. (Hear, hear, sndloud laughter.) The hon. Commissioner of Public Works might laugh it he chose, for he i (Mr. Merrick) well believed that it was largely due to that hon. gentleman'aiutluence with his colleagues , that tho Bills' had not been allowed to pass. He l'c- t posted that it was ordered by both the Grand Lodges that such petitions as those he had indicated should be circulated. (The hon. gentleman here se ruined his sest, but after s. brief whispered colloquy with the member for East Toronto, again rose and "id, amid loud laughter, that through some mis- management those petitions had not been returned.)

Referring to educational matters, he said that while he approved of the assiduity of the Minister of hducatiun in going through the country and attending toacliers' meetings and so on, he feared t mt he had paid more attention to the opinions of tenchen and inspectors than to those of the trustees and people. He did not fear, like some hon. members, that there was any danger of placing too much power in the hands of trustees ; and was of opinion that there should be a grade of teachers intermediate between second and third class teachers under the present programme. He thought there were lines, of railway now being con- structed which wore well deserving of Governmi nt l aid, as they were opening: up our new dim-iota. He did not approve of the sneers at the efforts of railway promoters, Is to their energy was due 3 large amount of the present prosperity of the country. The late changes In the License Act had not worked well, an the hotvls Were hotter managed under the old luw,while many of tlseCotumiessioniirs hind abused their power. The tendency of these changes had been to take the power oat of the hands of the poo- ple, and he WMI sure they were a step in tho wrong direction.
