33 'l‘o;day. Wednesday, in accordance with notice of mozion. the Dr. will introduce :1 measure of enquirv re- gut'lng the license muddle in Dur- h-nn. the result of the investigation wdl be 1L oked forward to with inter- Mt. as the people would like to exam erate the commissioners, and saddle *he responsibility on whom it proper. ly belongs. As the personnel of Governments change at every elec- tion; whatever ,the intention of a measure may be, the succeeding gov- ernment is not in a position to inter- pret the thought of its predecessors in ofies. With reference to our town lies-son, J ndgs Crosser sad the On- know their needs. and have an Intel- ligent cunception of what the Gov- ernment rt-quires. They are not an illitera’e and ignorant class when it C(an‘fl down to their requirement-S. am! in many ways they can teach the city chaps. The granting of favors such as the Normal School in London and a Re. form-awry at. Woodstock the Doctor denounced as a political bribe, a meansof catching votes. 9. Sort of incentive, of perhaps a. spur to their superior intelligence. Szn'ely'l‘oron- m. recanlml as the Educational and into-ilecmal centre of the Dominion, must feel flattered, ironically speak- ing, at the position taken by mem- bcrs of the Government. The iniquitous delay of the Gov- ernment in rebuilding- the binder twine industry at the Central Prison he ably poinmd out cost tens of thousands of dollars to the farmers of thisuountry in the item of twice alone. It was somewhat anomolous to :h'in' that. a. Government, having the wealth of the Province at its back should delay so long, when a private concern would lose no'time in making g00tl thednmnge. This he regarded as an evidence of their Ilflg‘li'gelme anl incapacity for which the farmers had to pay, and which the farmers felt. and realized. The Government claimed to have waived the support of the educated anzl the intelligent classes in the cities and towns of the province. In a forcible rebuttal the Dr. pointed out that among the rural community 19 to be found brawn and brain: equal in every reSpect and often superior to that of their so called educated and intellectual centres. The farm- in: community, the Dr. claimed, In his introduction he referred to the :ipologetic nature of the memo rani‘mm which announced the calling tog-ether of the House. He said he understood the House was to be call- ed together to pass post mortem The majority of the electors in the South Riding of Grey had confidence in the ability of Dr. Jamieson, and in returning him to Parliament knew that his level-headed arguments, cool descerning judgment, and fair-mind- ed liberality would work with telling effect on the House should he be re- turned. But scarcely did they expect '80 able an address, at so early a stage in his political career, as that deliveredhy him last week. Gener- any the maiden speech of a new member is more apologetic than rational. Not so with the Doctor, however, and for three quarters of an hour he boldly waded into the Government. exposing their weak- ness at many points, and introducing much new matter, hitherto left my touched. legislation, while to him it seemed to be an ante mortem deposition of a (Iovernment which had already lost. a COUple of limbs. amputated by the popular vote, and the body was like- ly soon to follow. The Liberals are not a unit in Hardy’s effort, to wait till “some- thing turns up” to make room for the heaven born ministers whom the Inilible voters in their constituencies decided to leave at home. Whitney’s determination to adhere ‘to right principles is gaining friends for him every day while the persist- ‘9nt doggedness of the Grits to hang 10 office by hook or by crook is dis- ;.I;ustinp,r the liner sensibilities of the better class of Liberals. The success of the mission 30 tar ’hnsn’t been very gratifying to the party. The more they scratch the deeper they get in.

How- ever willing the people may have been to overlook their previous blunder, their insulting action on this occasion is a simple outrage on the intelligence of the petfple, and what’s more. they’ll not put up with it. The Liberal party is losing ground by the autocratic conduct of the CommiSsioners, and as one prominent Grit said in our hearing. “I’m a Grit h-t l.’ll he d~â€"-d if I’ll ever cast anotherGrit vote if this matter is pressed against the popular will.” A fairly well attended public meet- ing was held in the town hall here The two outside License Commis- sioners have hurled a most insulting slap at the intelligence of Durham in ignoring the populs-tr will to grant. a license to the Centr: 1 Hotel, signified by a petition of sixty-six out of eigh- ty-two electors in the north ward, forty-six of the petitioners being ac- The peroration seemsa little in- consistent froma strong temperance advocate, when he recommends the granting of two licenses “for the balance of this license year, when Prohibition will be in force, and settle all.” Surely, brother. you are not counting on a big “ blcw out” just on the eve of Prohibltion.

Again after sympathizing and conâ€" doning with the bereaved, showing the gratifying results to Mr. Ryan and the town, he further shows his disapprobntion of a weak-kneed gov- ernment with this consoling remark: “’2 never know what to expect. Last weel: the Durham Review, hith- erto regarded as a Grit paper, came right over flat-footed into our melon patch, and condemned the Ontario Government for their action in the British Hotel license. At least it goes to show the reversal of the decision of the commissioners by Judge Creasor, the exoneration of that body from blame owing to bung- ling advice from the Government, and assures its readers that “ before they (the Commissioners) eat humble pie by having their action reversed they will have some questions to ask of the Government.” tario Government are at variance. and the unravelling of the tangle will now be in order, though it. may not be discussed during the present session.
