The Brussels Post, 1899-3-24, Page 44 • r FRIDAY, MAR, 21, 1891, • Titlt lies buaiuess is a "deader" this year judging by the motion of numerous mill owners, A errs ELECTION will be hold in North Waterloo shortly owing to the uuseating of Mr. Lackner, The Liberal candidate was Dr. Clemens who died, last week, quite suddeuly. Tire recount in South Perth gave Mr. Monteith one vote more that: the Return- ing Omoer's statement, 8 instead of 7, and the probabilities are ho will hold his spat undisturbed for the balance of the parlia• mentary term. Meat Seer. bit off more than he can aonveuiently chew in getting hold of the Phillipine islands and while the rebels will eventually have to bite the dust a good many lives may be sacrificed before that time arrives. The insurgents are treacherous as their word or promises oonnt for little or nothing and the only way the IL S. will keep them in cheek will be by the presence of a standing army. AN important feature of this present session of the Dominion Parliament will be a Redistributiou Bill—which should not be designated a gerrymander as there is a wide difference between, the two terms. Aredietribution means, or should mean, a fair and proper adjustment of constituencies so that equal justice will be meted out to all concerned, irrespective of political faith, while the usual signid• ounce of gerrymander is to carve up a County or Counties for party purposes only. The new bill should straighten out County boundaries, arrange mnnioi- palitiee as compactly as possible in each riding. and conform to the electoral dis- tricts of the Provinces- if they are right —so that electors would beloog to the one constituency for both Houses. We don't think municipalities should be snb•divided and the idea of a "hive" should be scout ed forever. There is room for some squaring up in this Province too when the proper time for this work rolls round. Huron Co., with many others, is most improperly divided for Dominion pur- poses, Usborne belonging to South Perth ; and Exeter and Stephen to North Mid- dlesex. If we are doiog business along the line of representation by population let on have it and along some plain, sen- sible rule that will represent equality to any fair minded individual. We believe in the Prohibition of the liquor traffic as a measure that would work untold good to this Dominion and we are sorry that when the plebiscite was before the electors that they did not embrace the opportunity offered and poll nth a vote as would put beyond any per- adventure the successful carrying in of the necessary legislation and guarantee the moral support in its enforcement. That such was not the ease is evidenced by the official returns wbioh show that while a majority of the people of Canada want the traffic suppressed a large pro- portion either voted nay or declined to assert themselves on the question and would no doubt be equally indifferent in aiding in the enforcing of the law. It is rather amusing to see the political capi- tal attempted to be made out of Sir Wil- frid Laurier's letter on the Government's attitude. The London Free Press, one of the rankest anti -journals, is ready to shed tears by the bucket full in its "sympathy" with the temperance folk while its history for years has been marked by hostility of the most pro- nounced type toward everything that smacked of a curtailment of the train() and we would not be afraid to prophesy that if Prohibition were enacted at the present session of Parliament no news. paper in the land would do less to aid in making it a success than the said Free Press, By their fruits ye shall know them, We believe in oonneetion with any moral question we need more than the statute to crown the successful work• ing of it and while we stand where we al. ways did on the Prohibition question we would regret to see any law enacted that would be either only partiolly enforced or lie as a dead letter for want of the hearty cooperation and moral and practical eup• port of a largo majority of the people of this land. The Dominion Allianoeis pre. paring to wait on the Government and discuss the question with the hope of se. cueing some advanced measure from that body. A large delogatioa will accompany them to Ottawa. The Spring Assizes.

To His Lordship, Chief Justice Armour ; The grand jury at the Sprang Assizee, 1800, for the county of Huron, beg to present that they have visited the com- mon jail of the oouuty and found every- thing neat and clean and in good order, and the gaoler courteous and attentive. All the male prisoners were actively en- gaged in the wood yard. The Duly cont. plaint made by the prisoners was that for the past ten days the bread supplied was not good. We examined what was on hand and found it sour. We endorse the action of the County Coonan in tap- ing steps to re•construot the gaoler's rest dente, believing that ib will improve the sanitary conditions, more especially the ventilation, all of which is respectfully submitted.

DOMINION PARLIAMENT. Lard Mina) openet Parliament at Ottawa at three o'olnelt Tllur+day of last week. The rather late dale at which the opening took place did not prevent the presence of a good old (.:shinned snow storm. There was a large attendance, and the function in the way of attractive- ness will compare with any in the past. That there were so many present may be taken as an evidence of the popularity of Lord and Lady Aflot°, this being the first occasion of His Excellency opening the House, THE 00ARDa, The vice regal carriage, in which the Governor -Genet al was seated, was a000m• panted from Rideau Dell by a mounted esoort from the Prinoese Louise Dragoon Ganda, Capt. Elliott was in command. On arriving at the main entrance to the Parliament Buildings His Excellency was received with a guard of holier from the Governor -(General's Foot Guard, with Capt. Raper in command. From Nepeau Point there was fired the sepal salute of nineteen guns by the Ottawa Field Bat. tery, under command of Lieut. Morri• 800, A LARGE ATTENDANOE. Notwithstanding that a number of Senators and members of Parliament will not reset Ottawa until after the Easter bolidays, and that some were de. tained on account of trains being delayed by the snow storm, the attendance in the Senate Chamber when Lord Minta toots his seat upon the throne was large. The Ministers of the Crown stood at the right of Hie Excellency, and on the left was Major-General Hatton and the military staff. Seats on the floor of the Chamber were well filled and the galleries were crowded. The speech from the throne is as fol. lowe The Senate, Honorable Gentlemen of the House of Comtnons Ie meeting you for the first time since catering within my intim as the repo - tentative of Her Majesty in this Domin- ion, 11 affords ma great pleaeure to he able to congratulate you on the large de. gree of prosperity whiob the people of Canada at present enjoy, as evidenced by the expansion of trade and commerce, the llourishing oondition of the public revenues and the increased number of immigrants who have become permanent settlers amongst es. 0395011081 OF EXOnnfl.
