A couple of months later, however, the C, P. 1. suggested a compromise valuation of $8,294,912, and this was accepted by the government.

He re- g1etied that the Fellows clung to the skirts of the past instead of join- ing hands for the future. Mr. Cotton, an Australian Fel- low, took exception to the council's grant of £250 guarantee to the Ald- wyeh site scheme, remarking that the council had Earl Grey fever.

The efforts of the government to coneciliate Sir Edward Carson, the Ulster leader, and his friends, Mr. Redmond declared, had been met with insult, He referréd to the fail- ure to agree on the temporary ex- clusion of any "part of Ireland and declared: it Was a great Sactifice to make as the price of peace; but in "making; that sacrifice; to avoid a con- flict, they had made nbeolutely no sacrifice of principle. if the pro- poral had been for the permanent exclusion, of oné inch of Irish terri- tory, they would unhesitatingly have rejected it, as the principles of the bill must be maintained. | 'Speaking for myself ind my col- leagues, and, I believe, the Irish na- tion," Mr, Redmond . continued, "these principles are our last word. Beyond them one inch we eannot and will not go. If force is interposed, that Terce will be niet with force. The party of the democracy of this country will be all the stronger be- cause uationalist Ireland has shown that it has been willing to make a great sacrifice for peace,' Mr. Redmond said there was dif- ference between the Briush cabinet and the Irish party as regarded the principles and policy of procedure.

H. Ferguson Makes the fundamental significances of the Ontario government's aetion in "jamming" through the house by irregular means a hill allowing more freedom than formerly to members of the legislature in ae- ception commissions from the do- Minion government is that pubife confidence in. legislatures, already weakening considerably, will be still further reduced. To accomplish their immediate end the Ontario government Has pushed down still farther, in public esteem, a house of assembly which one would have thought they would rather have heen anxious to raise in* popular estimation. 1t'is not a question as to wheth.r Howard Ferguson should be in- demnitied or not. The issue as it 'has developed is much broader and graver than that. The provincial secretary, a responsible minister of the crown, repeated continually an assertion that the act should not be limited to help Ferguson only, as the opposition proposed, but must be a general bill, because there were! other members who were in a simi- lar plight to that of Ferguson, Whether these menibers are con- servative or liberal, what possible right has either the government or the legislature to withhold their names and give them a general whitewash ? The legislature is not @ "gentleman's club' whieh can ab- solve its own members quite apart from what the general public has to say. The name of every member involyed should be given publicly and then, if justified, indemnity could be provided in each individual cage. The liberal opposition in fighting until five o'clock in the morning in a vain effort to defeat this bill, not only were protesting against 'ates ference with the rights of the minor- ity in the legislature but were fight- ing for the principle of publicity anu a full glare of light in politics which is one of the live issues to-day throughout the world. The time for secrecy as to acts of legislators has gone. Public opinion is arrayed solidly against the practice. Sure- ly the government knows this, and the fact that they persisted in their arbitrary methods to pass this bill at one sitting, has aroused in the mind of the man on the street, as expressed not only by the indépen- dent labor member" from Hamilton, Allan Studholme, but also éxpressed freely in many quarters to-day, a strong suspicion that the government must have something pretty big to conceal.

This is said to account for the relentless attatks the "Fi- gard' made against the finance min- ister. 4 Calmette's avowed purpose it fs aid wis to stop at nothing in his eampaikn against his rival. This is given as the secret of the greatest French political tragedy since Charlotte Corday killed Marat. The love affiirs of a public man, his wife feared, would be laid bare by the publication of intimate letters written in the course of the last ten years. The Figaro's editor did an un- pardonable thing in printing an ex- tract from a love letter written by M, Caillaux to Mme. Caillaux when she was the wifa of another man. M. Caillaux's then wife, whom he divorced to marry Mme. Clarette, af-' terward also married again. She is how Mme.
