The announcement is made of the

,death of Sir James D. Edgar, Speaker of the House of Commons. He had not been in good health for some months past, and felt the strain of the long session so much that some weeks ago he found it necessary to seek for rest. He returned to his home in Toronto and there recently underwent an operation, which ap- pears uot to have been productive of permanent benefit.

Nl r. Edgarlwas born at Hatley,

Quebecin 1841. He was educated at Lennoxville and Quebec, after which he studied law in Toronto with the late Hon. John Hilyard Cameron, then a foremost practitioner at the |bar. Mr. Edgar was called to the bar in 1864 and practiced his pro-

After several unsuccessful contests

for a seat in the Ontano ature

votes only, he was elected to the

in 1884 for West Ontario, to which seat he was re-elected at each general election since. He was 1 elected Speaker on the meeting of the new Parliamentin August, 1896. In ` the following year he became a mem- ber of the Privy Council. He was for years one of the leading members and confidential advisers of the Ijberal party, and took a prominent part in the agitation for tariff reform.

Mr. Edgar received the honor of

Knighthood from Her Majesty in May, 1898, being created a Knight Commander of the Order of St. Michael and St. George. He was the author of several law works, numer- ous essays on political and other sub- . jects and also of a. volume of poems. 5 He was a man of genial dispodtion

. THE LUNATIC ASYLUM.

; It is some weeks since the deliver-y ance of the brand Jury startled t-he ` community with an indictment against gthe condition of the Lunatic Hospital

f and the Jail. Most painful of all was I

, what was set down in regard to the A Lunatic Hospital, because of the num~ ber of the inmates, their utter help- lessness and the neglect and ill-treat- lment to which they had been mbjeet- fed in the matter ot' over crowding, un- suitable food, and cold rooms in win- ter. When the presentment of the ‘Jury was made public the organ of lthe Government sought to break its jforce and announced thrt a commis- ‘sion would be appointed to make a further searcning inquiry.

Pending the making of such an

ofncial inquiry the newspapers and the general public were induced to stop the painful discussion that had been entered upon, and to suspend their judgment. But weeks have passed away and nothing further has been

might be acted upon and its recom-,A mendations carried into effect. `

The delay in the appointment of .

the promised Commission might na- 5 turally give rise to the impression that the promise was made merely to` gain time and quiet the public mind for the present moment We do

think that such an impression is well-, founded. But we do say that the people, who have so deep and painful an interest in the Lunatic Hospital, have a right to know the reason for the delay referred to. The promise was made to the people by the Gov- ernment. Why has it not kept? And. more important still, what is being done. or is anything at all being done, to relieve and improve the con-y ditions whichthe Grand Jury found to exist in the Lunatic Hospital?

There are sixty or more lawyers in

the House of Commons out of a total of 213 members. If that proportion is about right we come very consider- ably short in the number of lawyers in the Provincial Legislature. When that body was elected a few years ago there were six lawyers among its members : Hon. F. Peters, Hon. A. B. Warburton, J. H. Bell, H. C. Mc-_ Donald, D. A. McKinnon and A. Peters-all Liberals. The Conser- vative party had no lawyers among its elected representatives Since the election Hon. F. Peters has removed to British Columbia, Hon. A. B. Warburton has been made a Judge 'and Mr. Bell has gone to the Gom- mons Thus one half the lawyers were retired from the House, leaving one party with only three and the
