If Members Spoke Less and Did More Work, Like Mr. Harty, Progress in Parliament Would Be Materially Hastened-- Estimates For Kingston Insti- tutions, From Our Own Correspondent. Ottawa, Dee, 1.--A dreary day and a drearier debuts characterized Ottawa yesterday. With all deference to Henry Horton Miller and W. F. Cockshutt, who spoke, the former for the govern- ment and the latter in opposition, there 'was nothing very startling to record. Mi. Miller rehearsed the Posi- tion of the ministér of finance, and Mr. Cockshutt deseanted upon the al- leged intricacies and impossibilities of the tatifi. The member for Brantford said an importing firm could not now tell J what its purchases ' would cost until these were in the warchouses. He dis- coursed upon the increased tax on sugar, declafing it 'cost the importer 8128 per owl to lay it down. He designated as an exaggeration the statement that there was a confliet Be- tween the farmer and - the manufaé- turer. v The house has gane into committee on the tarifi, which . meang that the opposition hus accepted ® the principle of the resolutions. The items will be fe wght out in succession. De spite Nr. Foster's criticism, the opposition did not challenge a vote, which has been ithe case for some years, 0 far: there has been none of that brilliant skinmishing which character- ized much of -last/ sessipn. The heavy cloud of dull dry statistics hangs over | the house, and solid work 'will be the [lot of members for some time to come. their tonstituencie: on re- tative det of the others: H ¢ ie hn Ph bm feseribed as one of the most faithful attenders in the commons.

If many of the others spoke lesa and did more, the progress of par- liament would be materially hastened. the préamier is wrtuous in this respect. The estimates for. the carrent nine mouths and the succeeding twelve months have been brought down. King- ston penitentiary wifk have $133,200 spent upon it up to March 3lst, 197, and 3189800 during the twelve months ending March 31st, 1908.
