The selection ora touoicipel council is so mu, h of a haphazard proceeding iu Godeticb—and we presume Ciode- ricb is not much different from other towns io this respect—that it is a wonder the results ate so good as they are. Better resu', , .i..ubtleie could he had if the citizens would take a more lively and more personal interest in seeing that good candidates ate brought out. Cannot something be done this year in • concerted way t. secure several good new men to take the places of those who are about to retire from the council ? TRYING TO SOAK THE FARMER. The secretary --treasurer of the Sarnia Fence Company makes certain charges that should be ventilated on the Boca of Parliament. He states that Major Currie, M. P. for North Siwcoe, tried to force his company into a merger by stating that the Government was about to take wire for farm fencing orf the free Hat and piece a duty on it, by which means the Canadian steel intermits were to se- cure control of the wire market in Canada, freeze out the independent conipany, and then, of eourae, make the farmers pay more for their fencing wire. incidentally this is another illustra- tion of the way in which protection benefits tbe fanner/ ABOLISH THE SENATE. 1e it not time for the Liberal party of Canaille to inscribe afresh upon its banners the motto, "Abolish the Senate" ? The Senate is well-nigh useless at any time. Sometimes it may he harm- fully obstructive. it is easy to imagine circaws•ances in which it might be a inenacc to popular government. Always it is an expense. it is out of joint with modern in- atitut' If the democracy of Can- ada cannot be trusted to rule through its elected representatives, without the interference of an assembly of political failures, misfits and hasbeens, we might as well conclude that democratic government in Canada is an impossibility and hark back to the days of plutocracy and star champed rule.

In the 1)ruwwond and Arthabaska bye -election, previous to the last gen- eral elections. the Conservatives and Nationalists combined to defeat the Liberal caodidate.

Naval Policy of Government Still a Subject for Guessing—No Prom- ise of a Redistribution. but More Western Senators to Be Appointed --The Hochelaga Result. Ottawa, Nov. 21st. —Parliament's opening today was a brilliant time - tion, as befit• the opening • f tbe Par- liament of Great Britain's fleet over- sewn dominion. presided over by a Royal Duke. the uncle of the King. In all its us state trappings it was a • en id piece of ceremony, beautifully staged and admirab acted. But ae an illumination of the course too be pursued by the Government and the work for which Parliament las Seen summoned it left much to be de- ists -ed. The speech from the Throne, as pot into the mouth of the Royal Governor by Premier Borden. was little more thee a series of platitudes. more remarkable for what it did not saythanfor anything it ventured to grI There were centime admissions that (beads had had weather during the past ossa ser, that Illus had hers • harvest aid that a s either d hon, I g�rrsaests had been welanasd is Our daMa Tho rig pisses of Be. thematioa, wit h s tisane t.. tate Debi of OS'e trip .nos. tbe.seMsaat. esieupb.l the eager pot t, eaelisiase Osumid'e rade (raise bad reads' that of scar. sod dist as a eat til small Ms raver gat W been ISM lssgsmt this over.

Tbat con- clusion had been reached years ago by the Laurier Government and prepera• tions made to take definite action— rpantioos which were nullitled only the overturn of the Government iu 111 and the return of a Government without & policy. Referring to the visit of four of the Ministers to England. the addreas said : "Important discussions took place, and condlUons were discled which in the oploion of say advtsereos render it imperative that the effective naval knees of the Empire should be etreggtheoed without delay. My ad- visers are of the opinion that it is the duty of Canada at thin juncture to offer reasonable and nerewry aid for that purp.ue. A hill will be intro- duced accordingly:" With such cursory generalities was this important natter dismissed. 4 supporter of the Laurier policy moot well say that at most it amounts to a confession that at last the Ministry had wakened up to the fact that Canada should do something in the matter of naval defence. After all that has been said about an emer- gency the address makes no mention of it., What is the "reasonable and necessary- aid" that Canada should give remains to be seen. The whole phraseology bears out the expectation that the Governnient will seek to avoid the main issue of pro- pounding a defir-ite permanent policy by the easy, if comparatively useleer, expedient of demanding a contribu- tion to meet a suppc.ed emergency, the existence of which bas been eo re - ready denied by Aft-. Asquith, the Prime Minister, and Mr. Cburcbill, the First Lard of the Admiralty. A more extraordinary prunouocement on • subject which has so profoundly moved the nation and engaged Gov- erotnents could scarcely be imagined. Govemimmt Fears Redtstributtoo. Disappointment and indignation will be Telt throughout the Dominion that therpeecb from the Throne ha (mitten all reference to the redistribu tion of the ridinge consequent upo census u( 1911. Ever wince ('on federation it h•as been the practice U bava redistribution as nearly as pots Bible the first session after the census The desirability of chi. practice is easily Apparent With the iambi growth of papula tion inequality in the principle of "rep by pop.' always springs up after enc decennial census, and these ioequal ties have to be smoothed out by redis tribution. The custom' has been t love as little time as poesihle. Th reason is obvioue. Parliament *away has an uncertain tenure. At, any time some crisis may develop demand ing an immediate appeal to tis country. as was shown recently i Great Britain when two general elee tions took place within a year. Sue a condition knight arise at any time i Canada, and if no redistribution bill is weed the election would have to be held under the old division, which would practically disfranchise a co siderable proportion of the people an be roost unfair to parts of the Dornin ion which have added large numbs to their- population. There is the less excuse for this delay since the present census was taken In 1911, while this is the session of 1912-13. If no redis- tribution is made at this session it will thrrrefore probably be 1914 before anti can go into effect which will equalise representation on a just basis. The census figures on which the redis- tribution is based have been in the hands of the Government for a consid- erable time, sc that eon* for delay i with the Governtnent, not with is census workers. During his pre-election Western tour Mr. Borden everywhere promised immediate readjustment of the repre- notation alter the census, so that the increase of the population of the Web could be taken care ot.

Sir Wiltrid Laurier and his followers strongly approved the principle of the bill, but demanded that it provide for division of the money atuongst the Provinces them- selves in accordance with constitu- tional practice. This was refused by the Ooveroment, and on this ground the Senate rejected the bill. The rest of the sessional bill of fare i. to comprise a bill to effectuate the reciprocal trade agreement with the Went iudies, substantial aids to agriculture, the Bank Act amendment, and a lot of midor and unspecified business. Under the spurring of en active Opposition the unspecified hu.i- nem .nay. well prove the most im- portant.

Horbelaga Result insignificant. Great efforts are being made by the Couservati ve press too wake it a ppe. r that the election of Hon. LouisCoderre in Hocholaga was a brilliant victory for t he Conservatives and their "naval policy." As a matter of fact. nothing could have been further from the trt.tb. Politically the election was a bleak cartridge. as there was n i con- test between the parties, and. es usual, the position was forced by Sir Wdfrid Laurier. The Liberal chieftain took the around that since the Government had no known policy on the only great Issue of the day there was no reasonable ground ou which to fight en election. Therefore he advised the L;bee- is of Hothelaga to refrain from entering the contest, and made e it known that until Mr. Borden had - plucked up suMLient courage to devise poo a naval policy and take the people into hie con8deoce the Liberals would apt Undertake to play "blind man's - buff." The coalition Government was left alone Go try to straighten out the difficulty between the Conservative and Nationalist wing.. The result of - the abstention of the Liberals from' the fight was the entry of a Labor - 5 Nationalist candidate. He wee, of 1- course, defeated by the Conservatives, - who turned out in strong force, while o few Liberals voted at all. The net e result of the election is therefore really tc emphasise the difficulties of the covert alliance between the Conserve- - tives and the Nationalists. Hon. e Messrs. Nantef and Pelletier are still n in the Cabinet, they still represent their Nationalist pledge in opposition Is to naval expenditure generally, and n especially contribution or anything else without a referendum. It serves to intensify the interest as to what poet the Nationalist Ministers will o- ph.y when Mr. Borden announces hi. d plata The comparative triviality of the numbers I election was shown by the fact that the two candidates together did not receive ae wan votes as Hon on his occasion Mr. Coderr•i s vote was almost 19110 lees than that given to Mr. Rivet. the Liberai candidate, in 1911.

With the possibility of an appeal to the people to decide upon a matter of such epochal importance to the nation in itself, and sea part of the Empire, it is' ominously significant that Mr. Jin der, should have neglected to pro- vide for the rnustitutional redistribu- tion.

Whist Saturday Night said, and what it repeats is. that the administration of the hydro -electric in Toronto is by no means all that it should be. The hydro-elsetric system as a whole or in parts is no god that one should place upon a pedestal and worship on bended knee. It is a human made machine, and as such ,is liable to err, and when it erre, as we believe the Toronto end of the concern has, it is the suhjeet for legitimate criticism. What people desire and expect of the Toronto Hydro -electric is a first -rias.+ service in every par- ticubar, administered in a broad, economical, painstaking nisoper. The hydro -electric service means ranch to Canada. It i4 the first eerious attempt by the Canadian public to n wante in regard to electrical energy, and it deserves to sireceed. The system will rise or fall of its own weight. If it falls, it is the fault of those who, like The Telegram, would make it a demi- god, in pla, a of considering it man- made and liable to go wrong.

If an doubt exirts on this point the Hochelaga incident should clear it up most effectivele.
