THE PROVINCIAL COUNCIL.

Wo arc glad to sco that an improvement is taking place in the Provincial Counoil. Although as much bad language as usual is uttered there, honourable members are beginning to be ashamed of it, and refuse to allow the woida to be taken down. .For, if takon down, in ovder that the member using them ma}' be reprimanded, they remain upon the minutes, where they ceriainly do not look oruumentiil, and hovo also the uwkwaid effect of transmitting to posterity the character of

Yesterday, the member for the City, Mr. Carleton, moved that an expression used by Mr. Cadman be taken down, stating that he would always pursue the same course when such shameful language was used in Council ; but failed, as he has invariably done ever since the members began to think that it was unwise to chronicle their own style of proceeding. But as they cannot hinder us from recording, we shall make mention of the fact, and of the names, whenever such a motion has to be made. If we fail to expose beargarden scenes, in one capacity, we will succeed in another.
