A cbAracteristic piece of coorraption -gs exposed in the Houpe by Dr. Wilson, of East Elgin. The Rovem- gjjt sent engineers to make sarreys god take levels of a little Btream called Kettle Creek, between St. Thomas and Piiit Staiiley, with the proposal to (^Detract a ship canal. This offer to spend great denl of the poblic money iu tbat riding is -f coiftse a dhect bid far support to the Government with jj^view tbat Dr. Wilbon may be de- feated at the next election As a matter of fact it would be a miracle to iQike Kettie Creek navigable for ships jjjd eve« if it could tliero is no trade ]«tween the two points. Mr. Cbarl- ion's bill is none too soou. It applies t just such caBCS as this and makes it an offence for the Government or the Governmeiit canflidaie at or near an election tci promise to make public ex- midit-u.-es iu a riding. If such a bill became law and was enforced ij would lii'i off ju«t such little bribery schemes as Kettle Creek. At tbe Oppoeition caucus Mr. Laur- ier WHS confirmed in the leadership ^nd it was stated Mr, Blake would not iluring this Parliament take an active part ill politics. Sir Richard Cart' wrifjlil testified to the great services rendered by Mr. Laurier and to tbe tact and wisdom shown by him under difficult circumstances. All the Opposition endorsed this as Mr. Laur- ier is comins out strong as leader. Unrestricted reciprocity with the Unit- ed Suites was re-affirnaed and it was iissolved to move for the repeal of the iniquitous and costly Franchise Act. Tiia Estimates were on Tharsday trftDFinitted to Parliament by a mess- age frum His Excellency "signed by Lis own hand."
