the house recovered rom It's laughter
 Hero is the closing part of his address:
 I was struck the other day Hith tlc adm iru- ble foresight and prudence of a new mc.nsCr
 of the house, tbc honorable member for Egr,A
 Wexford, who stipulated that h!5 stipend
 should be raid quarterly il advance. ho?o
 we shall receive tl.e samc pleasant end accept
 able form of payment. l should also like to
 ask whether we are Co be rewarded indepcad-
 ently of the qualities of our services or whether
 the legislator must prove himself worthy of his
 hire, and if SO, by what test his merits are Co
 be measured. ls it tO Dc by the number of di-
 visions he has attended? In that case our par
 liamontary life will be one slow progress
 through tho division lobby. Or Is it tO be by
 the length and number of our spCCChcsY In
 that case, sir, your task will be Q most in- yidious one and We who are desirous of nak- ing speeches and earning our salaries shall look upon the mover of the closure in the light of highway robber who gags us before he robs us of our hard earned pay.
 There is another argument in favor of the motion. The first lord of the treasury is com rlaining of the arrears of public business. and l would recommend him tO put the vote for the salaries of members as Inc last vote of sup ply. think t will be found that honorable members will be considerably less anxious Co reduce other peoples salaries if thereby they are delaying tho voting of their own. Now sir, what l am trying to make out is that in giving this motion we should not deal with it in q nigGardly and half hearted spirit. Let us be generous Co ourselves as well as inst to other people. l have listened with great in- terest to the list of salaries read out by the honorable member. He read out that one country gave tlO0 year; not cheer answered him. He read out tho name of another country which gave e3OO year; hardly a cheer greeted him. But when he said that America gave ek0O0 the honorable member for Wick, sitting below him, gave hearty cheer.
 A member who seeks parliamentary election has to make many sacrifices, He sacrifices his time, his money and he often sacrifices his health; and perhaps t may be said as being true of some of them, they often sacrifice their dearest principles and most cherished convic- tions. lt seems to me therefore that they arc justly entitled to some pecuniary compensa- ton for the sacrifices they make-some whole some antdote for those boluses which they are reluctantly compelled Co swallow by their con- stituents. l sincerely hope that we shall pre- sent the demand Of the members in form which will enable those honorable members who have struggled to obtain seat, who have won the battle and graspod the prizc to look forward In their declining years hopefully for themselves and their families to a future which should be removed from ell danger of want or q fortably oT. The honorable member will &C., ! quit me of having met his motion in a grndg- 1 ing or niggardly spirit. l can only express my profound regret that, having spoken as l have | done, am compelled to vote against tho pro | posal of the honorable member New York Women Interested in the Fair. !
 In letter Mrs. Potter Palmer says: "I made no statement at all about the | women in New York being indifferent; my impression is exactly the contrary, | and that they have been repressed with | while waiting for action of the i state legislature and the formation of the state board.
 'They arc eager and anxious to 20 to | work. l should do great injustice to many energetic women with whom I talked during both visits, and from whom l have received many letters, if made any other statement.
 "All the women with whom I talked some work that should be lone for the exposition, and they were anxious to begin it and felt restless at being held back during the tedious time Df waiting for the passage of the Hall MI
