sY â€"Sir Adolph Ghapleau died on Monâ€" day aged 58. The deceased statesman was a lawyer, and early attained emâ€" inence. â€" He was made Queen‘s Counsel in 1873, received other honors in 1881 and1882 and was knighted in 1895. He has held various cabinet positions, been premier of Quebec, was Secretary of State for Canada in the Macdonald cabinet and ill health compeliing resâ€" ignation, he was appointed Lieutenant Governor of Quebec, a position he lately vacated. â€"Parliament was prorogued on Mon. day, and Mr. Forester made it the secasion of a parting shot at govyernâ€" ment expenditure, to which Mr. Fieldâ€" ing bad only half an hour to reply,. Mr. Foster showed how the debt in two vears had increased 7 millions, while Mr. Fielding in the brief time he had showed that much of it was a revenue producing debt, while not a little of it was incurred to meet obligations left them by their predecessers. Before the present parliament expires we hope to see the increase of the debt arrested. â€"Lord Wolseley for Governorâ€"Genâ€" eral. So it is said in well informed papers. Lord Wolscley would be inâ€" tensely popular for, since his connecâ€" tion with the Manitoba troubles and his dreary march to Fort Garry in 1870 he has never failed to speak a good word for Canada and Canadians. But is there a warlike fitness anticipated ? Certainly the change from the amiable and peace loving Aberdeens with the strong moral and humanitarian qualâ€" ities they haye shown, to that of Comâ€" manderâ€"in Chief ot the Army is a violent one. If this is the choice we belieye the Imperial authorities must have in view the mapping out of Canâ€" ada‘s defences under the strategic eye of Lord Wolseluy. â€"Rev. J. C. Madill, former chief of the P. P. A. movyement, was voted out of the Congregational union last week by a vote of 46 to 25. _ On Sunday last however his own congregation deterâ€" mined to stand by him, even at the cost of separation. From the Pacific comes the news of the tall of Manilla, betore the insurgent leader Aguinaldo. â€" Great loss of lite has occurred, and there is a probability of trouble tor Americans in the new situation. The Yankees will now seize the Carolines and if Spain does not ery for peace soon, she will lese the Canary Islands too. 1t is expected that within two weeks steps towards peace will be taken. The Senate with its partizan feeling added amendments to the Franchise Bill which would have destroyed Its 15,000 troops were embarked or emâ€" barking when word of 3 or 4 Spanish warships having been seen aiming for Hayana harbor, brought the invasion to a dead stop for a ftew days. _ Sampâ€" son has sent two cruisers to assist in the convoy of the troops, and many a mothers heart will bless the authorities for the precautions being taken to save a slaughter, though military men grumble. This week will see nearly 20,000 ‘‘Americans" on Cuban soil. Havana and other cities are suffering for food supplies and ammunition, while the U. S. Army is suffering for goed food and proper clothing and equipment for its thousands of volunâ€" teers. Boots with the sole tied on by strings, no boots.at all, fat pork and bard tack in a tropical climate are some of the conditions of soldier life in Florida brought about by ‘‘red tape" and mismanagement. _ Uncle Sam‘s big heart should be swelling with inâ€" dignation. Somewbat more exciting were the news last week. The bombardment of the forts at and near Santiago were continued and a landing bas taken place at a point some miles east of Sanâ€" Spain is awakening to the truth. Lying bulletins and bravadodespatchâ€" es have been allowed out amongst the nonâ€"reading populace, but the situation in the Philippines especially, cannot be hid. _A vague impression ot imâ€" pending calamity is hanging over Spain and paralyzing her efforts, and in all probability, unless bolstered by Earope, the Monarchy will fall. The Franchise Bill and the Pleâ€" biscite Bill have both been passed, and two more promises ot the Liberal party have been fulfilled. itorial Note & Commexrt IMPORTANT BILLS PASSED. WAR NEWS. + 4+ The Plebiscite Bill, which was also threatened with Senate obstruction, has passed its third reading, and conâ€" sequently will leave the government free to act. The following speech of Dr. Landâ€" erkin on the abuse of Hausard and the cost to the country of longâ€"winded and garrulous speakers, will be read with interest by his constituents. It is only an extract : "I may say that I supported the inâ€" troduction of ‘‘Hansard" in this House some twentyâ€"two years ago. Ithought at that time it would be well to pre: serve tor future reference the speeches that were made here. I do not know that I have changed my views very materially since, although I notice that the expenses are increasing very largly. The hon. member for York (Mr. Foster) asked for explanations as to the cost of "Hansard." I think that in various ways the cost of *‘Hansard" not only increases in itself, but it inâ€" creases the cost of legislation generally. It is said by some, although I will not say so, that it prolongs the session, that it means the multiplication of specches, that many speeches are made on the same subject and are alâ€" most identical in character and are reâ€" corded in the "HMansard." Comparing the ‘"Hansard" in this country and in the old country, I find that in this session so farâ€"I do not <know how many pages of ‘"Hansard" there will be before the session is overâ€"there are 6486 pages. I find that in the British "Hansard" last year there were 6151 pages. purpose, but on the government calmâ€" ly but firmly refusing to accept them it has gracefully backed down, not choosing to make an issue of a point on which it was clearly off its ground, for surely suech a question as the repâ€" resentation of the Commons should be settled by the Commons. % Mr. Claney asked how long was the sesgion in each case ? The session in the old country genâ€" erally runs six months ; I believe sometimes seven or eight months. The hon. gentleman (Mr. Clancy) knows the length of the session there, probabâ€" ly, as well as I do. I would not undertake to state it definitely. But there is a less copiousâ€" Do not they count by columns here and by pages in the British "Hansâ€" ard ?" asked Mr: Mills. It was late in the evening.: I underâ€" stand they found that Mr. Davin had not spoken for four days this session and they came to me in breathless aâ€" larm to ask if there was anything the matter with him during that time _ I belieye there should be an allotment ot space in the hansard jto prevent the monopoly we are witnessing. I can point out three gentlemen on that side of the House who have taken over a fourth, nearly a third of the whole bansard during this session and I will give you their names. I suppose they are proud of their efforts. I notice the hon. member for York, on one subject, made 37 speeches, and they were all long, and were all taken down in the ‘‘Hansard". _ And they were very good speeches. They say that he deesn‘t often speak without saying something, but he says it over and over and over again. Now, I will give you the result of that hou. gentleman‘s la bours, duringz the present session and the session of 1897, In 1897 the memâ€" ber for York made 1,453 speeches in this House, that is an average of 25 speeches a day. That is a pretty good effort tor a man of his size. I don‘t wonder he is thin, I don‘t wonder that he looks like Cassius ; he is long drawn out â€" He filled 363 pages ot "‘Hansard." He spoke as much as 30 and 3â€"7Tths of the members of the House during that session. I do not say whether they counted in columns or pages, I am giving voun what I have got as to the cost of these prolonged sessions and the increased cost of legislztion. If there is an inâ€" crease in the cost of legislation it is largely due, perhaps, to the existence of ‘Hansard." The hon. member for York is anxious to know about the inâ€" creased cost of Hansard. I think I can satisfy him. I haye had special actuâ€" aries engaged in looking over the Hanâ€" sard, I believe they were conscientious men, computing the number of speechâ€" es that were made in the House They report to me that they did not find a single day, but some evenings, in which the member for York had not spoken. May I ask the hon. gentleman if it was late in the evening ? queried Mr. Foster. The hon. member for West Assiniboia (Mr. Davin) spoke 1,023 times, he was a good second. He is eligible for the Queen‘s plate next vear, but he did not win last year. _ He occupied over 200 pages last year. The hon. memâ€" ber for East Grey, my colleague (Mr. Spreule), made a very good third. I think with a little coaching, which I will be able to give him during the reâ€" cess, he will overtake the member for York. He spoke 230 times last session and filled oyer 100 pages of "Hansard." So that between these three iltustrious statesmen they ocenpied nearly a third of the ‘‘*Hansard" of that session. Now, is that fair to their colleagues over there ? There is the member for Bothâ€" well (Mr. Clancy), he is thirsting for Dr. Landerkin pricks the long winded speakers. + COST OF HANSARD. fame, why not give him a chance? He only spoke 250 times this session. There is the member for Cape Breton. (Sir Charles Hibbert Tupper), he is getting his spurs whetted, _ Why not give him a chance? I believe on all law questions he advises the Opposition Now there is an injustice in this I will just ask the members of the House whether they think it is right that three members should monopolize nearâ€" ly a third of the ‘"Hansard" when other members have an equal right with them ? Now, the cost of legislation, in 1897 was $1,134,772.04. _ Of this, the hon. member for York is responâ€" sible for $162,110. The *"*Hansard" cost $70,000, and he is responsible for $10,000, of that sum. He is going to be the most expensiye member in the House. _ Noew, we will take this year. The session is not ended, therefore I caunot furnish complete figures. â€" But hon. gentlemen opposite threaten us with more speeches. For 1898, the actuaries who were engaged in the compilation of these figures, told me that they could not find some copies of the ‘"Hansard," and they do not make a full report ; but so far the results are very gratifying to these three gentleâ€" men. I find that the member for York spoke this session up to the middle of May, 1,066 times. Mr. Foster interjected that he was not yet up to the standard, and the Dr. retorted that some pretty gcod days lately would bring him up. _ Reâ€" suming he pointed out that Mr. Davin was a good second having s?oken 792 times, and was gaining. _ Mr, Sproule had made 407 speeches this year and these three gentlemen had taken up about one third of the ‘‘Hansard," and certainly if Mr. Clancy was included it would be fully one third. Mr. Foster made 47 speeches on one subject and he thought it was time he gave others on that side a chance. It I keep on this way. My words are abundant, My speech is redundantâ€" I can speak from the morn Till the close of the day." (Great laughter. ) He thought the soliloquies of the of the members of York and East Grey would be something similar. It had been said that language was given to conceal thought, and the member for York (Mr. Foster) seemed to take that vigw of it. _ What the country would appreciaie would be if the hon. gentleâ€" man would conceal some of his langâ€" uage. He would then become an adâ€" mirable â€"statesman. _ As it was the number of speeches they made, made them expensive members of the House and the Efame for the increase in the cost of legislation must rest with them. *‘No wonder at the cost of legislation, of long drawn out sessions when one considers this monepoty of "Hansard." The D1. claimed fair play, so that othâ€" er members on their own side should have a chance and not be suppressed as he had seen a dozen times by these genâ€" tlemen with the remark, »sit down, I have the floor." The closing paragrt:f)h of the speech, which was commende h{ premier Launâ€" rier and frequently applauded was as follows : 4 * This is one of the most im?orta.nt items in the Estimates. It is for the House to consider the increasing cost of hansard. _ If there is not to be some regâ€" ulation of the hansard which will preâ€" vent hon. gentlemen on one side or the other repeating anc‘ repeating their reâ€" marks, and getting them printed at the expense of the country, I think the time has come when the subject should reâ€" ceive the serious attention of the House. It is all right that members should have their views placed before their constituâ€" ents, but I believe their is a grievance in the present system. I do not say that I am opposed to the continuance of hansard, but if two or three men are to monopolize the hansard, such a state of things should not exist, and I ask thti House and the Government to consider this question with a view to remedy the wrong." It is Easy to Keep Well if We Know Howâ€"Some of the Conditions Necesâ€" sary to Perfect Health. X The importance of maintaining good heslth is easily understood, and it is really a simple matter if we take a corâ€" rect view of the conditions required. in perfect bealth the stomach promptly digests food, and thus prepares nourish= ment. The blood is employed to carry this nourishment to the organs, nerves, muscles and tissues which need it, The first vreat essential for good health, thereâ€" tore, is pure, rich blood. Now it is cerâ€" tainly a fact that no medicine has such a record of cures as Hood‘s Sarsaparilia. it is literally true that there are hundreds of people alive and well today who would have been in their graves had they not taken Hood‘s Sarsaparilia. It is depended upon as a family medicine and general regulator of the system by tens of thouâ€" sands of people. This is because Hood‘s Sarsaparilia makes the blood pure, This is the secret of its great success. Keep your slystem in good health by keeping your blood pure with Hood‘s Sarsaparilla, which absolutely cures when other mediâ€" cines fail to do any good whatever. If members will insist at intervening in debates on every possible occasion, a committee will have to make an al lotment of space . Though the English sessions are twice as long as ours you will not find a member on either side who has spoken so often as these gentlemen have done here. _ The member for West Assiniboia hasseverâ€" al times this session threatened to keep the house a month longer if certain things were not done. He was standâ€" ing by his gate after a long speech and a passing reporter heard this soliloquy; My name is O‘Davin, I soon will be hayin‘ The house te myselt riOO 9 ~»:; 41. are the only pills to tak d $ Pl“S with Hood‘s Ssrsaparill:.
