always looked to intercut who rash enough to at election time on outcome of tbo contest in general and especially if the bet on government majority always allow first division to bo judge and biter on Those who do not bet consider the first trial of strength as the announcement oltioial mute and unbiassed of result of election- So wo must regard it and those sensational newspapers which on the morning after the election announced in deepbreasted headlines that had won have been in Mr Hardy was not beaten His sup port is as sturdy and united and intelligent eat behind a leader of any party in any House id tbe Dominion of Canada That support is bound to ineroaso and al ready the vain boa it of the Opposition been turned into the wail of despair The result of tho division was Govern ment Opposition It must be no- that in addition to this Mr Craig a supporter was absent that Speaker of was in the chair and of coarse did not vote The Government not only has this majority in the but it has clear majority of the popular vote Mr in bis speech gave Government no advantage and he reckoned up the popular vote us follows Liberal Conservative Independent Hon in his address further pointed

in her own home will chemicals produced a general Gold Discovery Victoria Aug 14 Gold ground that rivals in richness the original properties of Bonanza and Eldorado creeks has been accidentally discovered in North at a point miles from on Pike creek A butcher named Murphy was the fortunate finder the luck being brought to him through the band of sheep he driving in for the Klondike turning up several small nuggeto with their feet He picked those up tried a pan of dirt and got colours Thus encouraged he went to work struck bedrock at five feet found pay dirt running from three to six dollars to the pan He kept his great discovery secret as long as he could but was followed back to the creek when he visited to exchange his dust for supplies Dur ing the past twenty days fully three thousand people have gone to the new fioid The towns of and and being practically depopulated in the rush so much so that women now take the steamer lines when they call at as there are no men there Pike creek is six teen miles long and an afiluent of At- lin lake It is proving uniformly rich in gold of so high a standard that it runs from to to the ounce City has been established as the headquarters of district and when only one week old had a population of 1200 doubling the popularity of tho now district in the fact that it is under British Columbia not Dominion juris- distion there are no royalties and no reserve claims Thus it can bo seen that whatever men say or how much partisan newspapers may misrepresent still the Hardy Government roles and will rule without intermission for the oar years The only changes to be made will be the gaining of scat hero or there and steady increase of majority The debate which closed on Saturday morning was one of the most peculiar that has been witnessed by the Ontario Lepie- for many a day The was on the question of an in reply to the Speech from tho Throne That is a mere formal matter which usually occupies the attention of the House for a single day and then after the mover and seconder have had their say the Lead of the Opposition criticizes the speech and particularly that part which re fers to new legislation The Premier re plies and the matter is over But the Opposition started the obstruc tion game at start The new legisla tion foreshadowed in the speech dealt with what is as the Constable bill Then for two weeks Mr Whitney and bis men talked about everything that could possibly be touched upon except that one question whether or not constables had any right to vote Tbe men in the front now talked about responsible government in the abstract and and the backbenchers delivered their old campaign addresses and thus weeks wore on When Thursday came the gov ernment came to the conclusion that it was needless to put op men to answer campaign roorbacks of the Opposition and no Liberal spoke on Thursday and the Conservatives wasted that whole day On Friday the time was taken up by two Liberals and seven Conservatives A day in the Ontario Legislature or any Legislature costs money and that week that was wasted in needless conver sation means much money lost to tbe people of the The Conservatives complained of the Commissioner of Roads though Liberals commenced him for of the Crown Lands Department and ihe expenditure for Colonisation RoadF of License Regulations and the Agricultural College Farm and of the difficulty of the recent examinations Nothing new was introduced No original argument was presented and all that was has been told many years ago There but one department which escaped criticism Not a word was said adverse to the administration of a single branch of the Provincial Secretarys de partment In this department presided over by Hon Mr Davis more money has to be than any other department The asylums take thousands of dollars an nually yet not one member said that a grain was misapplied or that a dollar was spent which should not have been spent There is a jail in every county in this Province and every jail is a responsibility in itself Yet not one bit of fault was found with the management of a single jail The Central Prison is a big institution of itself ye no fault found with any piece of work that was done there So with the hospitals and all the other branch es which united make up the Provincial Secretarys Department As these addresses were invariably cam paign speeches it may be fairly assumed that from east to west from to south no fault can be found by any one the administration of the department of which Mr Davis is the head For the present Mr Davis is adding to bis onerous duties that of acting Minister of Agriculture The first stage In the present session of the Legislature past in It the Liber als have triumphed both in tbe vote which waa just as favorable as possible and de bate which showed that notwithstanding the fact that the Conservative forces have been reinforced the Liberal forces are just as much in advance in debating
