He began by pointing out in tho clearest. and most emphatic manner that the most important part of the resolution was one that the, Government nideot the House could very well vote for. seeingthat it. asked the Home to declare in favor ot principles: already reeqitn.iyed and acted upon. ne. had pointed out in his sneer-h of the other day. so clearly that evenu wayiarinir man could under- stand. tho policy of the department in this respond, which was that the English language shall be dominant everywhere in the Previous of Ontario and shall be taught in every Public school therein. Helmd stated the other day that for over thirty years under Dr. ltyerson there wanna rule whatever in respect. to the touching of English in the schools , of Ontario. There was no rule in regard to the l matter until 1885. The hon. gentleman was well ) aware ot that. Why, then. this motion of con- sure!

It really in the main nftiyutot the excellence of the policy the (iovornnunl and the depart- ment were pursuing in the maltcr referred to. but the UoVernnirnt, by vol leg torthe resolu. non. would be by implication condemning themselves. on account of the manner in which Mr. Craig had introduced it. Was it fair for the hon. gentleman to avail hitnsrlt ut the privilege of a. Parliamentary tpick-if he might so term it-tho better to get ' blow at the Government.' Let him bringthis m'stion before the House in sucha way thatit ouid be employed as a vote of censure. lApplnuse.t Moreover. he would 1m willing to accept the implied censure if it were substantiated by any evidence whatever.

As he _ had pointed out tho other day. there were in 1887 as many as 27 schools in Eastern Ontario in which the English language was not taught l at all. and on the 25rd of b'rbtuittt.V. 1689. on the l word ot a truotwortlty inspector. it was shown ', that there was not a single urn-h school in the l Province.
