As little change eta possible has been attempted by the Cabinet --only in so far as equalizing this representation according to popu ;Action was necessary. This speaks maid' for the fairness and honesty of the Government pollee-. Of conrso,thie past regard for the rights and interests •a f the people, on the part of the Cabi- net, was very disappointing to the Op- position --who are ever on the watch to formulate charges of unfairness or injustice ou the presentAdministration Speaking generally, the put uow before Parliament does not interfere with the ae'tiisting arrangement of counties or electoral districts; although, in some causes, two small constituencies are put 'into one, and in other cases the repre- ;rentation of existing electoral districts fa wither increased or diminished. In Mite Maritime Provinces owing to the .smallness of some electoral districts, the nitanber of representatives is reduced. Nova Scotia and P. E. Island, for ex - sample, have each one member less; -wile Nen Plunawicle has two less Then before. In Ontario, the principal ^,hfitrg+•es are that Toronto owing to its ,great increase gets 'four tneinbers eviti!e 1licitiaal Haar tiy0 of a represent - alien. Algoma also ets another mem lae.r, and to _'feet this a re-arran e- geent has heen n head e in the Niagara 7.4.,LiLS111.e. In Quebec province, sevara1 small constituencies have been joined, and the representation more equalized, In accordance with population. Mani• lobe, owing; to its increase, gots two lure members; while British Columbia s to have an additional member for the Westminster district. Altogether the Bill seems fair enough; and is only intended to harmonize the representat ion with the population of last census. AN ThrTERESTI i'G DEBATE. A ripple on the surface of the writers was again occasioned by a motion sttb- :ssr tted last week by Mr. McNeill. M.P. 3R3 the subject of preferential dnties— tothe effect that the Imperial Govern- rnene be requested to repeal the favor- ed nation clause in the treaty with elg nm and Germany, and arrange for :ia system of preferential duties as between •Great Britain and Canada In an eloquent speech, the mover point s4I out the vast possessions, the ' inex- lnuetible resources, and boundless wealth of the British possessions— »rlrrning that the must important and -valuable resources, mineral and Abri-' cilt:tiraf, the wealth of land and sea, were all within the domain of our vast Imperial realm. What is really want atrl to make Britain the greatest Empire that world has ever yet witnessed, is a ;t;ieeer• union of the vast outlying. colo - nice with the Mother Country, and—as 'closely connected therewith—a system of preferential duties which ''sill give 3nl3tnal adva:ntag•es between the Moth- erland oth- e l ,nd and her Colonies over all other :nations. That England now stands in need of sono check against foreign competition within her borders, and against foreign restriction of her ex met trade, cannot admit of a doubt- .lu feet, the trade question is one of the .vital questions that affect England's f0ture prosperity. She is now fairly laaaadi.cappcd by the high protective elegem in force both in European coun- tries and in the United States. It is rtstiinated that the British colonies .racde with England to the extent of 'triglety-five million pounds sterling, as against some one hundred and fifty opo Inds sterling taken by foreign coun- tries, And one'would naturally. sup - peg )- 1. pr,sg tlutt if a mutual system of prefer x<u tial duties could be brought r bout, by which the principle of discrinminat- :lon within the Empire as against fore gat countries' could be established, -- there would be a positive gain every way.. Certainly, it would prove a boon to Caneda, •-grow that it has come to. a understood than England -offers a better market for our prodltt:ts than &leo eeigiaboring Republic. Thie, y'sa, does not meet with the approval e.f the Grit p;arty.in the Elonte of Com- rinonse,—who, true to their instinct , op. gxrssd )kir, :tieNeill''s motion end brought -las 1111 tltinendrncut in favor of lower el aloe on British goods without our :receiving g a quid Fro qub. Among the 'Wang able speeehes given by anet?ibera 4 nL.0 Government1G t Side, perhaps the ihiost notable was that ,of the Ilene lir• l ostel•,'MiuiiGer of Finance, who.. ;aye one o£ the a .lest addresses he has ever V ivon on the flour of the Haase. He f considered the present question as 00e e removed far above party palities. Tt was significent, however, that if leacl. ing members of the Or position, had httle to say --and left the debate in the hands of the smaller fry of the party. Mr. Foster repudiated altogether the idea that Canada was tied and bound. by restrictions of trade; and that while. it might be deeirablo to obtain freer trade relations with theT'nited States, and still better to obtain a preferential' system of duties with the Mother Conn try. yet Canada's future did notdepend on either one o1' the other. He adduced statistics to show. that Canada stood better to -day with the West Indies, the,. Spanish Antilles, South America, and with Great Britain herself, in regard to trade prospects than she had ever done before. Our markets were being extended and developed. As a proof of this, the trade returns showed an in crease of our exports during the last nine months of nearly $.12,000,000. We, might not be able to succeed in carry- ing: out Mr. McNeill's motion for awhile—but conie it would, sooner or later, when this glorious Empire would be drawn together in bonds of com- merce as wide as the area oyer `vhich the flag of Britain now floats! The adoption of this resolution submitted to the House would show to the Mother Country that this Dominion was will ing at least to hold out her hand to the Mother Country in the matter cf preferential trade between the parent and her children. Mr.MeNeill'smotion was adopted by a vote of 107 to G3 --a strictly party vote. THE LICIT OBSER VATOBY. Any one who goes to California would do well to visit the celebrated Lick Observatory, on the top of Mount Eiauiilton. There are many national institutions in the United States,found- ea by the generous liberality of its cit• izens; but none are more worthy of notice or admiration than the one foun ded by a California miner, named James Lick,whose body r'eposesbeneath the greatest telescopic arrangement in the known world, Mount Hamilton is 4090 feet and upwards above the level of the Pacific ocean, distant but a few;. miles from San Francisco; and upon this lofty attitude, through the liberal endowment of $700,000 as the savings of a Californian miner, the greatest facilities are afforded for taking views of the celestial firmament and of record ing the nighty wonders of the heayen- ly orbs. Tho colossal telescope erected on the loftiest peak of Mount Hamilton far exceeds in size and in magnifying power Lord Rosse's celebrated tele- scope. Its diameter is three feet, its length over 56 feet, and its weight several tons. Itis so nicely balanced that the observer can by turning a little wheel point to any part of the heavens, with as Hauch ease as one can use an opera glass. Under its great optical power you can peer through the distant azure, and view not only the sun, moon. and planets of our own solar system—but also the fixed stars, constellations, and •nebulae—with as much interest and wonder as if looking through an eye glass on some distant object in our own planet, On turning the mouth of the huge telescope, for example, in the directton of Orion— whiclh even to the naked eye on a clear night is an object of great beauty— you can discern the famous nebula of Orion, with its fleecy and mysterious shape containing clusters of stars shin- ing on the distant back -ground of the nebula like so many diamonds resting on silvery cloth, 1Ve• seem here to be brought to the very outskirts of creat ion; indeed some have gone so far as to assert that the nebula of Orion may be the primary germ•substance out of which new worlds are formed, grad- ually shaping and developing; itself into stars and planets and s,}stoms can able of proditcivg organic life. If, again, you turn the huge telescope of Lick Observatory towards Sirius whose light requires about twenty Of our years to travel to this earth—you behold a white glistening diamond in the dim vista of darkness, incredibly clear, burning, and brilliant, And so of other planetary orbs and eonstellat ions••-iwhbscl light ox eximentul u on fi p by mottern scictze may have left some of the s6,1's twe.rity or sixty years be, fore.

"End there is noue !" ' Ceit inly, the most wonderful advances ' haye boon made in astronomical science of late years; but who knows what untold dis- coveries are yet to be revealed through the farther progress of science and the greater facilities that may yet be aff- orded for obtaining clearer and fuller views of the starry worlds.
