It.-John Bad uucuto Tell of Awful Deeds. TORONTO, Dec. 9.--Yesterday Mr. St. John continued the debate on the address in the le islature by reading a -piece that contains internal evidence of having been written by himself. The practice of reading speeches in thalegislature is grow- ing. and will keep growing until somebody calls attention to it. The offenders are not conned to one . side of the house. If it led to concmtration or cogency of thought it mi ht beeonveniently overlooked. but such as not been the case. The great `wash of words.words. has submerged the house just the same. The most interesting pert of Mr. St. John's speech consisted of a charge against a lumber rm. Moore Bros., who, he said. had attempted to defraud the government out of the dues on 13,000,000 feet of lumber. by means of two sets of books. He went on to say that the government ollicer, D. F. Macdonald. had been in collusion with the company. and that. nevertheless, be was still at his post drawing his $2,000 a year. The premier at this point hauled him up in the wild whirl- wind of his eloquence to remark that Mr. Macdonald had been discharged. not be- cause there was any proof that he had been in collusion with the company. but merely because it was held that he should have discovered the fraud. The fraud had been discovered by an investigation insti- tuted by the government. In answer to a questioufrnm Mr. St. John, the premier said Mr. Macdonald had since received tem rary employment. Mr. St. John seiz- ed t its statement triumphantly and add- ed that the rm had practically escaped all punishment. Mr. Gibson then interposed to say that if Mr. St. John really wanted the facts all he had to do was to ask for the papers and they would be brought down.` A little thing lilie that does not bother Mr. St. John. He went on gyrating and whirling in his own cyclonic way. l...I...I Mr Qt. John : anaeoh dees the and Whlrlln In ms CyCI0lllC way. Indeed Mr, St. John's speech dees the art of the reporter. It was the most four- fully and wonderfully made thing that has ever been heard within the walls of a de- liberate assembly. He was sufficiently remarkable in his attack on the trust companies. but it was when he came to the great piggery issue that he struck a gait that made the galleries feel that they lost nothing by coming to the legislature instead of attending a show. All the emotions of which humanity is capable. or which face, arms and legs are capagle of exprasing, Mr. St. John brought to his aid in depicting the mingled tragedy and villany that the West York pigzery case involves. The choleraic visitation which attacked the innocent animals and decimated their ranks was sketched in a voice trembling on the verge of tears. This speedily gave way to thunder tones of indignation as he pictured the atrocious conduct of the gov- ernment in building the pig palace in the neighborhood of a miusmatio'swamp. No one could charge Mr. St. John with not knowing his subject. 11. MnKav_'1.f Oxford. made a stirrinrr IDOWIIII DII l|ID]CU. Dr. McKay." of Oxford. nude I stirring reply.
