The Week with
the Legislators.
Ontario House Closed Nell) Election in
Beane or September- Ottawa Members
Having a Quiet Time -Something about
the Thin Red Line.
Ottawa, April 13. -The prorerdin
of ;Parliament during the part week
were of a rather uninteresting nature.
Softie important matters were up fur
discussi•m, however. One was an
amendment to the immigration act.
giving the Government more thor-
ough control of immigration, and an-
other was a bill to awe•nd the upland
revenue act, with a view to the en-
eouragement of the ('anadian tobacco
industry.
Railway. to Hudson Bay.
The Western utembcru are pressing
the question of the construction of a
railway to Hudrons Hay, as an ad-
ditional outlet fur Western grain to the
''markets of the 'world. The building
of this road as a Government under-
taking is urged. and the people of the
three prairie Provinces art. Haid to lir
looking to the Government for an
early commencement of the enter -
prix. Hon. Frank Olivet stated that
the Government had had the twitter
under consideration and slight be able
to announce its policy before thi• end
of the session.
The Thor Red Line.
lion. Mr. Ayleewoltla Minister of
Justice, promised to introduce a hill
amending the iNllllinion ele.•tiond act,
and he has done so, and the hill has
been read a Hrst time. Captious crit-
ics already are finding fault with the
terms of the bill and are saying that
it ie simply perpetuating the "thin
• red line outrage." Some people have
heard of the "thin red line," but few
know just what it means. Conxersa-
tives say that by the use of the "thin
ted line" thousands of voters were
disfranchised. They say that the lista
fur the 194 elections in Manitoba
were printed at the Printing Bu.wu
y
at Ottawa. and after their arrival in
Manitoba an agent of the Liberal
party emasculated the lints by run-
ning a thiu red line through aeverail
thousand Conservative names.
This seems like a somewhat harsh
proceeding, but what are tee facts?
The election law provides that. Pro-
vincial lists must be used in contuse-
tion
onueation with Federal elections. But in
the election of 1901 difficulty arose he -
tame the electoral divisions for the
Dominion did not coincide with those
for the Province, and oessequen' ly an
adjustment of the voterNets had to
be 'mule. The linen of polling sub-
divisions overlapped in several in-
staocen. The following example will
serve to illustrate the difficulty.
Where the Trouble Is.
gs Toronto. April l:(. -The legislature
Mulled its work on tMturday•and the
formal prorogation will take place to-
morrow. This is the final seeeion of
the present Parliament and it is ex-
pected that the new election will be
held early in June. Mr. V hither an-
nounced on Saturday time if the
voter► lista in the enorganiaed die -
Wets can he prepared in time the
election will take plate in the second
week of June. but if they are not
ready the elect o, iwlll be held over
until the fall.
There is one township, a part of
which is in the division of Dauphin
for electoral purposes, while the other
portion is in the district of Portage la
Prairie. On tbe Provincial lists there
were forty-nine names of voters be-
longing to Dauphin, the others being
properly voters of Portage la Prairie.
To get a true list for Portage 1a
Prairie these names bad to be omitted.
The returning officer took the list and
tall a red line through the forty-nine
names.
This was the birth oft serhethn 1
line. Conservatives have been pleased
to regard this as an outrage, and say
that the men whose names were thus
struck off were disfranchised. This is
mot the case, but, even if it were, then
Liberals and Conservatives were
treated alike. The red line was not
used to disfranchise any person, it was
used to cross off the list lames that
were improperly on it. Hail these
names remained on, the voters alight
have voted in two divisions.
All
Prosecutions
n h is cOnnroppion edt may be said
that the Provincial authorities who
have charge of the administration of
justice undertook to prosecute the re-
turning officers and others who had
charge of the elections for doing this
work, but the chargee have all been
dropped and the Attorney -General of
Manitoba bas withdrawn all pnrsecn-
tiome with regard to the affair.
Thin Black Line.
Let 1)e Inok at the other si of the
question. If it was a wand and an
outrage for the Liberals n ient to
draw a thin ted line th ugh names
iwpe ppaerly en the lis it most he
equally scandalous am uutrageonn for
the Conservatives draw a thin
black line through splen improtc•rly

actually occur 'There wan a re-
diatrlbittion i the Province. and to
get it list fo' the new divisions the
Provincial : tthorities, no doubt under
the direct' n of the Attoruey-General

Libeta . for what they had done in

tern prosecuted for ; that is, they
k the lists which had been pre.
red, and ran through a manlier of
the nntMse, not x thin red line, but a
thin black line.
What the Tories Did.
In one polling division they struck
off lei mimes, and left on 45. In are
other they struck off 57 names and
left te,. In the itl•.t polling elivixion
.`they riot only Ariel off 11:,, but they
added ::ti names without any author-
ity whatever. 'There is no doubt the re-
turning eftleer met the same condi-
tions as those experienced by the r•.

A $ soo,000:Guarantee.
In the closing hours of the session
the Provincial Treasurer introduced u
hill to guar•atltet• the bonds of the Ca-
nadian Northern Railway for exten-
*toes in the Sudbury and Georgian Ilay
distrkto and for the 'Toronto connec-
tion, the guarantee ammiuting to
about $S,itXIWUU. This proposal is in
direct contradiction of Mr. NVhitrey'a
declared polioy in regard to railway
and, and several of his supporters.
notably Hugh Clark (Centre Bruce)
and P. 11. Bowyer I Fast Kent,. ex-
pressed their disapproval of the meas-
ure. The hill was passed.
Fighting the Gerrymander.
The debate on the redistribution bill
showed the Government in a west
unfavorable light. The stutenlonts of
opposition members, showing how in
county after county the principles
laid Clown for redistribution by the
Premier 1 self had been grossly
violated in order to gain a party Ad-
vantage. were absolutely unanswer-
able. and the Government stands con-
victed of one of the meanest tricks of
political brigandage. 'Tete is the case
of Peel and Cardwell, of which feel
had the larger population by 5.-A1: lett
two municipalities are taken from
('aterwell and placed in feel, leaving
Cardwell with a population of only

ville has been butchered, Middlesex

Haitiugs and other comities have been
re -carved in a manner that is beyond
justification on airy ground of mental
or public interest. In every utas the
motive for the change. made is to be
ween in some advantage to be gained
by the party in power. Not content
with doubling the repreeeutation of
the city of Toronto, the , ,vernment
bas contrived a new scheme of jug-
glery whereby it is.planued to wake

one of Ow eitiht mends -es from the
city will be ix Conservative,
An Unpopular Proposal.
That the doubling of the representa-
tion of the city of Toronto is not pop-
ular with the Government's rural
supporters was shown when the
House was divided on the gne.tiol.
Mr. Preston moved an amendment
that Toront., have six representatives
(instead 01 eight) and it dozen of the
"unservative members stayed away
( the House when the vote wan
taken. The Opposition sition put them-
selves on record

strength of numbers. .-
Government Backed Down.
Another hot tight was in prospect
over a proposal by the Government
that the elections in New Ontario con-
stituencies might he held on a date
later than that on which the other
elections in the Province would 11e
held. In this care- the Government
yielded to pressure from its own side
of the Hoarse as well am from the
Opposition, and the Premier gave to
the leader of the Opponitioi a definite
promise that *ll the elections should
lie held on the dame day.
Tbe Three-fifths Clause,
Another motion by the Opposition
for the tepeal of the three-fl(ths clause
in the local option law was voted
down by the Ministerial member..

method of financing the University of
