Mr. Speaker
Sir. —I shall be grateful if you will permit me through the medium of your columns lo publicly express my appreciation of the fain, firm and impartial manner in which the Speaker of the House, the lion. W. E. Barnard, is discharging his duties.
At least on three major occasions of recent date he lias been called upon to give rulings which would not be Very acceptable to the Government, but he has not hesitated to rule in accordance with his judgment, and lias thus upheld and enhanced tlie dignity of his office. His actions uro in marked contrast with that of tlie Prime Minister, who prefers to talk about "show-downs.” etc. —I am, etc., FLEWELLEN KING. Greentneadows, December 9.
