Min. Neumann: II Was a necessity,
to keep you out.)
Rep. Ashford doubted that. His Elk.
cellency had been 10th to 60, and had
run back. The Queen had not o5eyed
the mandate OF the House in dismissing
these two, but had sent them back.
hey came back as bland and smiling as
Bret Harte's heather Chnee, saying
Here we are, here we are, gentlemen"
Yes, there you are, where we don't
want you, and il you can't axe hint /
propose 70 load my boot next time.
(Laughter.) Ii this Coming back was in
accordance with constitutional prece-
dent, then the Qdeen might have sent
back the whole quartette. 1t could not
be done, but It had been and the House
bad been insulted, and as for him, he
did not care whether the Insult came
from the Queen or the gentleman who
SAID ne had formed the Cabinet. The
affront should be resented and the dig

now, and those two gentlemen and their
| com panions fired without ceremony.
| But His Excellency the Attorney-Gen-
eral in the midst Of mild and placid
| and almost cheerful speech had treated
| himself as a new arrival and ignored his
! having been here before. The speaker,
| however, did not forget that he had been
| here before and had been driven olt for
| incapacity and official uselessness along
with the rest. He wondered whether he
would turn up after being kicked out to-
night with the same bland smile and Say

ertion of muscle and possibly snoe leath-
er, and thinks he is in quiet again. Not

have come back with the aid of one of
the servants who bad helped put them
out. His Excellency suggests that put
ting them out is question of taste
| merely, and bad taste at that, he inn
| plies. What about the taste which in
duces his continual return? Continuing,
the speaker said : He did not propose to
go into minute analysis OF the question
whether Her Majesty had compiled with
the resolution. 1t had not been COM
piled with by somebody, and he should
hold the Cabinet responsible and pro-
coed to kick them out. AS to the con-
nection OF the present Premier with the
Cabinet, it was well known that it had
been formed for week, but that one Of
the pieces had Runked. and the man who
had really formed the Cabinet, gentle
man down town, had gone through the
place with drag net to supply the def
cheney. The Cabinet-maker and his
emissaries were busy for a few days.
They rushed to this Noble and that, who
all declined because they would not 60 in
with the old Ministry, or with one Of
them. Finally two hangers-on of the
Marshal rushed down to the Kinau and
told the>,purser that the Marshal was
looking for Minister of Finance, but
the purser had business elsewhere The
fisherman finally had to reduce the size
of his mesh until it was small enough to
catch the present incumbent. In the
speakers home there were fine fish in
the streams, and among them was the
sucker, which had no teeth but was a
very greedy fish and swallowed hook
bait, line and all. The only way to get
it back was to take the fish by the throat
and choke the hook out When the bait
had come within the yearning gaze of
the present Minister he had swallowed
it, and the thing for the House to do now
was to take him by the throat and make
him disgorge. The speaker did not doubt
that the present Premie- really believed
he had formed the present Cabinet and
he was the only man on earth who did
think 30. No doubt he had asked his
colleagues to serve, but that was a
trifing formality. Her Majesty, or those
back of her, were determined to force
this Cabinet on the Legislature, and they
had found tool. Sufficient had GER
tainly been shown to justify the repudia-
ton of the Cabinet. 1t came in like the
ghost of Hamlet's father, in very
questionable shape The blacksmith
was behind them all. He handled
them all with his tongs. He slapped
the Minister OF Finance into his chair
. and said "sit there and ask no ques.
tions," and there he sits and asks none
, and those four gentlemen have that man

} esteem him more highly than u.s. Min
lister Neumann: That is not true) Well
see whether it is true or not. But above
