At one O'Clock Hts Excellency came down and
signlned his acceptance Of the election OF mr. Currc
as Speaker.
Mr. BLAKE moved the issue OF wrlts for South
wellington aud the city OF Ottawa. He entered into
an explanation OF the Ministerial policy. He con-
tended that the provincial governments should take
position OF neutrality In regard TO the Dominion
government There should be neither alliance nor
hostility. Ontario should not interfere with Do
mniOn affairs nor with the anairs OF any other
province. except when her rights were infrnged.
Tue policy Of the administration was that there
should be the utmost Parliamentary control over
the public funds. 70 hand over such control to the
Executive would be the abandonment on the part
the House or its most Important functions.
The public provincial Institutions should be more
under Parliamentary CONTROL both Ia regard TO con-
secure the Independence OF Parliament would be
introduced. bill 10 secure extension OF franchise
would be brought down. scheme to amend and
combine courts OF law aud equity would be ma
turcd as soon as possible.
The administration would redouble Its energy In
the cause OF immigration, cheny to secure large
innux OF agricultural laoorers to meet the heavy
demands existing throughout the province. The
Crown lands would receive prompt attention and
cnors would be made TO wind up land sales IN that
branch or the department. The timber policy would
be ADOPTED so ast harmonic with the general in-
terests OF the country and OF the lumber trade Tie
government would carry out the obligations OF the
country In regard TO ordinary railways, but supmit
to the House giants proposed ~ be made to each
subject.
the new government had not yet full Information
on this point nor In regard TO the municipal loan
fund and award; and this session che government
would not BRING down scheme for the DISPOSE
tion OF the surplus. But he did not think the dim
cutes respecting the award insuperable, and
a conipre hensive plan could soon be natured for
assisting parity settled districts and doing Justice to
tue OLD country. he Indignantly repudiated the
