Just upon the eve of the prorogu- • tion of Parliament a portion of the people of Canada, who favor prohi­ bition, felt very much incensed over the action of the Senate of Canada .for passing an amendment to the Scott Act which virtually nullified the alleged prohibitory features of that Act. By a slight majority the Uouhuoiis rejected the Senate amend ” iTient aulTThe Erbus’e amendments' to" the Act were returned to the Senate. The Senate insisted upon its own amendments, rejected some made by the House aud in that form.returned 11 vs Bill Io the House, It being very late in the session, only a few days before prorogation, the Bill did not again come up, and the Scott Act. xen.).aiujs..BQw .ax4t.'w.as before, the proposed amendments were pass ed upon by the House and Senate, •none of the amendments having re- . ceived the sanction of both Houses of Parliament. • .. This has revived the question 6f the utility of the Senate as now. con­ stituted. Some have gone so far as to demand the abolition of the Sen­ ate on this ground alonei of it being ( pposetl to prohibition. Such a de­ mand for such a cause proceeds from no statesmanlike grasp of the duties of Parliament. The demand for the abolition of the Senate for exercising their undoubted functions, which aro chiefly of a .supervisory or semi­ judicial character, savors more of the irrational sulking of potted ’ school boys than of the action of men of mature minds laboring to 4iav« popular legislation become . law with all the prestige au(T%k^“W of the sanction of tho established co- • ordinate branches of Parliament. It is claimed by the faction which, lias thus been offended by the action of the Semite that that that body is opposed to temperance, because it is opposed to prohibition, and that the work of moral reform might as well be abandoned during the existence of the Senate. ..Tlmt-is-a gratuitous knd slanderous attack upon the Sen- _ate.. That boxly..has_gixeii™uo_ind.ia_. 'cetion to justify the assertion that it is opposed to temperance. Such a charge is so monstrous, so utterly incredible that no argument is re* •xp-rrccHxrTefu-rcHt7-^^h’er%aTe stTrtr~ liiont carries with it its own con­ demnation. Then again, not only is it said that the Senate is opposed to temperance, but that it is opposed ^cr’TJTGlribhfmTr^TlTiir^ allegation. The question of prohi-’ bition did not come before them, foF’ the Scott zYet is not a prohibitory one. It is purely regulatory/ for it is onlyan optional measure and though in-terfering with the sale of liquor does not prohibit its use, and though it should be carried in the majority of the counties it must be- conceded that there will always be some county or city in which it will rfot carry, and so long as there is~ railv one district, be it city*pr county, where it is~not the law, liquor will he ...sent from*- there to the places where it is not the law. The-Scott Act is merely a measure regulating rlre- traffic hi liquor, a'nil- wore~'ther Senate to desire its repeal Li tolo, that would be no evidence, that that body was ppposed to prohibition. Let the friends of prohibition get a eal proliibitory- measure .affecting- lie whole Dominion passed by tbe kmnnons, and if the Senate should irevent itofruni becoming law, it jould then be truthfully asserted hat. the Senato was opposed to irohibition.# .As it is nothing has been done by lie Senate to show that it would - ’PI ose either temperance, or pro- libition.. Indeed far as its pro osed wine apd.beer amendinont’go- s, it Was positively iii the interest of " emperance.. that :'8uph.- lag.i8latirtn„ hould. pass. No one but pure book ornis, theorists or superficial ob- •rvbrs can conscientiously state that je Scott Act is proihotive of tem- erance uiffier the present condition f tFiings. I11 fact the more strictly je. Act is enforced, tlio more spirits -ill lie drunk. The’ total• prbhibi- on hof the manufacture and im-- ortation of spirits must precede the ilal jpfcohibilidh of them as a beVer- polled for the Scotti Act in all locali­ ties where it has been, submitted in tbe Dominion wore totalized it would be found that not.more than one- third of the qualified voters in such ’localities would be found to have voted forD the Act. The Senate is a. body ’’of men ’whose particular province it is to promote and sanc­ tion legislation which shall have been sho.wn to be in accord with the •well und+H’stood wishes of the people of the whole Dominion, The 8cott Act has not been shown to be so en­ dorsed*, The Senate hud the returns of all voles taken upon the Scott Act before it, and was well a ware that only about onp-third of the peo‘ pie had said they were in favor of it. It is also tbe duty of the Senate to check “snap” legislation passed in times of extraordinary emotional excitement, and it would bays been justified in going even further in an endefivor to amend the Scott Act from oil tlie face of the Statute book- _Plan did. The Senate amendment. we make bold' to say. unmistakeably voiced the will of two-thirds of the voters of the Dominion, And instead of being abused for endeavoring to thwart tbe public will tile Senate deserves all praise for the intelligent and representative grasp they took of the actual condition of affairs. As to whether the Senate is a necC’SS'tffy^’b’rairdr of ‘ legislation' ‘filay’’ be . ’ dehateable., But the ergu* men’s so far adduced for” its abolition have not much force. The House of Lords in England and /he American Senato approximate to-pur's."* Tlie careful and’ impartial student of the political history of England and America will agree that in all .material questions those “irresponsible” bodies have been less int&lerant in those countries than have been either the Commons or the House. The recent action of the Canadian Senate shows that it also has q.been more tolerant than even our popular Commons. An argument often urged, for the abolition of the Senate is the.very few instances in. which it has been called upon to interpose between hasty-and crude legislation, and the executive sanction. Such does liot go for much; ’’ThroughoutfethmvDominion we have constables and other peace oliicers who are rarely called upon,, but ho one doubts‘the utility of such officials. Their very existence is a deterrent to evil doer’s who kpow they would likely be caught and punished. - We have volunteers and A -permanent police force;. because the-y are seldom called upon is tHat -proof of their, -inutility ? Recent events have shown the contrary. —J’lie—k no;Wl ed ge—o f-t-h e-ex-is t-ence~of the -Senityeuis a preventative against hasty an.ct improper .legislation-*in the Commons. That it is notoftener called upon to interfere is .no doubt Rlue .to tho wholesome influence df- . the’mere knowledge oi' tho existence and-power of such a check. No one will say because we .‘have not had, nor or likely to have, a rebellion THE EATE OE RIEL. In this part of the Dominion the question that most often comes up just now is : “What are they going to do with llid 1” And there is not a dissentient voice in answer to the question. Ho should be banged, ih tbe indirect answer one boars on all hands. It is- time that country journals came out and unequivocally expressed tbe opinion of the people in this matter. But the uiajqrity of them are waiting to take their cue from tihe Globe or the Mail. What under heaven has tbe Mail or Globe to do with tbe opinion of the people through the country. None what­ ever in a matter of this kind. The people know that lliel instigated the late rebellion.; they know that he induced the Indians to murder whites and steal their property; they know that Riel did all this because he could not get money from the Government. They know that li? had sworn to be revenged for his being chased out of the country in 1870; they know that his recent murders were not Ins first; they know that neaily a hundred of our white volunteers and fellow •citizens were lost through his in­ ordinate ambition and avarice; they know that probably double that number of o.ur.h»4^5^^^ ■■ fellow-subjects were slaughtered to gratify bis vanity; they know that the whole Northwest trouble with jts attendant loss of life aud expend­ iture of money was caused by the miserable man Riel, Sworn testi* mony before a legal' tribunal has shown this and any amount'of in* dependent confirmatory evidence is' extant. ' . ’ ■ Shall the author of all this be al-- lowed to escape capital punishment? Shall the mass of the people* of this country wait until trickster politicians an3 factiouists fix up an opinion for tbeovbofore they express, themselves I... No, sir. Every day and upon .all seasonable occasions the people are expressing tho opinion that Riol should be hanged. We take pleasure, in giving voice to that opinion. If justice should miscarry and Riel get off' on the American dodge of insanity .’or on any other frivoldus pretext, those who shall, be parties to any such jufamous work as this condoning of the highest offence known to our law shall re­ ceive the fullest measure, of con*’ demnatiqn, that outraged public opinion can mete out to them. ■■ The little’ riots in Ireland - are compared to the rebellion in tlie Northwest, and tiie fate of the agitators there is held, up by a few -as-Av-lm t-sli o u 1 d--—a wa i t~- -1 ti el-,—T-l i e - leniency shown the Irish agitators is no criterion for dealing x^itli Riel.’ The Irish outbursts have been mere brjnvls 'compared with the • Riel Tebslttorn TrtS' saidTlTatTli'ere is’no’: precedent fo’r inflictiog capital pun­ ishment. Were’ such the case we should make a precedent’. ,«But there are-hundreds " of precedents. 'For 3T went that Liberal-Conservative Lord Lord John Russell became a fossil* ized Tory he adopted as his motto “rest and b« thankful.'’ When Mr. Biake subsided into Fogyism lie said there was “nothing to reform.” In England to day tho Conservative party is being electrified by tbe dis­ contented Lord Randolph Churchill, as the same party was rejuvenated in Canada by the discontented Bir John A. Macdonald in tlie time Sir Allan McNabb. Party is simply an agency by which'the concerted actions of individuals are brought to bear to effect judicious legislation in a commonwealth. These actions must be adjusted to the times. It is alleged that the “young Liberals” wilhetrdeavor to form a third party, but we do not suspect them of any such folly. They are evidently dis* contented with the fossiljsm and ossification that has been going on in the Reform party for some time. Conservatives will only be too glad tewish the. young Liberals—success in their efforts to reform the alleged Reform party. The Conservatives will then have foemen worthy of their steel. Under existing condi­ tions, the Reform party Have neither policy nor patriotism. Tlie well be ing and advancement of the country will be better forwarded the nearer di<3 two forces—parties—approach eacIFbtljer itreTevatidn7"Tfjough noF necessarily similarity, of views and in the ability to elucidate those views. Earl Stanhope in his history of England says that the leading prin* ciple of the Whigs of,Queen Anne’s time wd& the dread of royal encroach­ ment; the principles of the Tories tbe dread of popular licentiousness. A more modern thoughtful publicist says that the function of tlie Con­ servatives is to guard the necessary >imporfections- in tire political struc­ ture, the function of the .Reformers to attack the curable imperfections. The first duty of Conservatives is to distinguish Between’ the defects that .arO’essential to our political structure and the defects that are not essential. “ The obvious duty of Reformers would be to have the curable iinper--’’ fectidns removed. Of late Reform* ers have mistaken what the curable imperfections are, and when .they have attempted to remoy’e'imperfec­ tions their shortsightedness has,lei .them to attack tlie.mainstays of the political institutions of the country, as in their frantic ,but abortive at­ tempt to destroy a’ franchise bill which will extend the power of the, people, the mainstay of any coun-- try, immensely. ' The Reformers would have all the props .removed -a-wa-y-w-h-ivh-rgs-ve-rt-h e—B i 11-—i t-s-chivf- strength and formed" its support. Some one- has likened the necessary, imperfections in our political.struct Cure to tli.e props or pillars in a’large. ball rooiiii.,-whicir’evidenj.ly interfere- with the dancing, but .which, if taken away will let. the ceiling dow-fi. They would now destroy tho Senate, which, though • it may bo to some, extent imperfect, and in the way of tho will of the people to some ex­ tent, yet, if take.ii away would let' down-tho “ceiling”—of our political fabric. , REBELS SENTOCEIL Seyen Years the Greatest Pun* isliuient Meted Out. Regina, N. W. T., Aug. 14.—The court opened at four o'clock this af­ ternoon before Judge Richardson, for the purpose of sentencing the prison­ ers who pleaded guilty of treason­ felony a f«W days ago. Soin© of those who got seven years were so called Councillors of RiH’s, and very bad councillors they were. Ex-Attorney Clark, of Winnipeg, appeared on behalf of the prisoners, and in answer to the question why the sentence of the court should not be passed upon them, made the most eloquent and telling speech of the whole course of the trial. The police and hall the audience wer* moved to. tears as he pleaded for clemency. They were the creatures of circum-’ stances, children of the plains, he said, wuo followed their acknowledg­ ed leaders. Kiel’s wiles had lead them to believe, him a-,prophet, and they took up arms, believing they were doing right. The prisoners re­ presented one hundred and fifty children on«the banks of the S&s* katchewan, who were without sup* port. He hoped ;’the court would deal4enientlyv~— 7-*-----------—— Col. Richardson then in a "very matter of-fact way proceeded to sen­ tence the prisoners, whom he classed into four Jots. The first received seven years’ penitentiary, the next three, the next one, and the last were discharged on their own recognizance to appear for sentence when called. The sentence was then pronounced as follows: AleX. Cayen, Maxi me Dubois, Phillip Gugrdupuy, Maxime Lepine, Phillip Garnet, Pierre Van* Ttallj'PiefFeTrenry, Albert Jfonliman^ Pierre Parenteau, James Sheark, and Baptiste Vandall were'sentenced to. seven years penitentiary. - Alex. Fis.- her, Pierre Gurfrdupuy, and Moise Ouel •,were,sentenced to three ye^rs. Joseph Arcand, Ignace Poitras, jr., and Moise Parenteau were sentenced to one year in the Regina jail. Jos eph Delorme, Alexander Lobenibardo, Joseph Pilon, -Baptiste Rocheleau, Petrie Tourand, and Francis Tourand were discharged, to appear for sen­ tence when called. . One Arrow, who was convicted yes­ terday, was sentenced to three years’ penitentiary. He loudly and even eloquently protested liis innocence. ’ POLK AKE K’S LETTER.
