Even to the most impartial observ- wr, the present state of the Ontario Legislature must seem to be a strange muddle. Two ministers who by p09- ular vote were told to step down and out are still hanging to their portfolios, exercising the functions of their office and participating in the emoluments.

Now that the government “is standing on one leg, as it were, “with a number of cases before the courts, almost sure, under existing circumstances to suffer defeat, “ the favor of God hath ordained,” that an mnergency session shall be called, to Set their house in order, and head off justice in legalizing voters who were; ineligible at the time of the election. : Th9 religious plank is the latest addition to the Hardy platform.
