In our province there have been many of such gather- ings, and more especially during the session of the legislature. Here public questions have been taken up and debated with considerable vigor, and often with more soundq ness of reason than that displayed by those in apology for their man- iigcuicnt in the actual affairs of state. Of course. like us in tho Ilousc, the Guardian was on all dates the foundation for argument and the leading subject of debate. It was natural that it should be so. for therein was the history o-f pub- lit: governmenLAND THE FAITH- I-‘IIL ItECOR-I) OF THE DOINGS 0P‘ TIIEDAY.

It was on one of these moment- ous occasions. which occurred in represented by the Premier and his egoist colleague. With an amount of knowledge nat- ural to those living in such close proximity to their representatives. and their relations. it was meet that current iiiibiectimsttch as "Hol- stein" Bulls and “l-iolateln" cattle should come more or, less under re- view. It would most surely be bet- ter to have these thoroughbred an- imals than "scrubs" of any kind.

on the Government farm and this

was the conccnsus of opinion with all the debaters. There was a question raised however as to vvlie- ther the "culls" from a full bred would bc much better than the very best or tho mongrel or so cal- led "scrub" stock. When they got unto the question oi’ bcef cattle the mutter of quality was duly con- sidered, and while all were free to admit that it was the extreme oi’ wisdom t0 -buy only the very best for the unfortunates in these in- stltutions, there -was Ii. strong div- ersity of opinion as to whether the grazing in Lower Bcdeque could produce ibeef worth one and n half cents per pound more, on hoof, than cattle of equal weight and so- lidity grown on the farms of those not directly related to members of the House

There was also at gent ‘ul up- provnl of the idea of pi-ocuillng all supplies and material for Govern- ment purposes by the process of public competition or tender. This had been the practice of the Con- servatives, and in fact all govern- ments, for many years, and it was applied to everything wherein there was any extensive quantity mer- lted of a required article. The boast of the Hell Government, that they had introduced the tender system, was of course the subject of considerable mirth, and a rc~ ference to the pages of the ‘Guar- dian soon satisfied them all that instead or inaugurating the prac- tice. 'I‘-HEY HAD ACTUALLY AB- RIIJGED IT. For Instance, next to flour. Jieef war-i the largest and most important article purchased for I-‘iilconwooil Hospital and In- firmary. the jails, rind other pulli- lic institutions.

A Minority Government.

In the elections not half the vot- l ca: were polled, and as a result the ~ Parliament elected was not repre- sentative. It had no clear mun- iliito for anything. The real mind of Ituly had not been expressed. The Government was representa- tive of a. majority/ of u minority", like the present Ontario Govern- ment. It had lo live by coinproiii- ise. At any day the opposing fac- tidns might unite and throw it out. In these circumstances it was the prey of the forces of disorder and demngogy. Gradually these forces look possession of the Govern- ment, 0r rather paralyzed it when it was called upon to tleiil with dir- cct action and other manifestations of Bolshevlsm. The excesses pro- vided their own cure. The lethar- gic middle classes, which had not voted in the election, began to real. llze their peril.
