The " Globe " : and the Reform
°P: iter.
In an article in is issue of Tuesdays'
last the Globe undertakes to lecture and
advise those mem ars of the Reform
party avho have seen fit to disagree with
it on certain public questions. It com-
pares the present i olitical 'situation to
that of 1848-0, wh .n the Conservative
party was overthrown and the J3alclwin-
Lafontaine Govern, ent came into office.
1t says : " Meisrs. 3aldwi;n and Lafora-
" taine, the leaders, of title'Goverilment,
" k-nre men of the I ighest personal char-
'' actor. But the woke prudent and
€ conservative in t ieir ideas and,. were
'-" disposed to hast nr slowly on many
points which the younger/ members of
the party eonshd ed of importance.
" hence nrf se what *as called the ' Clear
` " Grit ' movement, leinancling numerous
" changes and rofuing to wait a single
moment for their ealization. `',file end
" of that niiovernen ' was that the hories
" returned lto pow a r in 1854, and th it
'' though sen: of tl c projected reforms 1
" Were carried by t hie bur servativc Gov -
erne ehht, they ;,!ere not se ftiaiently
" accomplished as hey would 1 ave been
' if the Reform l arty •-had •eniained '
" united and had r•outiliucd in poWer."
This example is cit 4 as. a warning td 1
Reformers of the lir =sent day to avoid a
division in their rat ks, and the better t
avoid. this is to abs ain from this agit -
tion of new retort; s ; to rest and be
satisfied witl:i thing: as we have them;
and do what we car to hang on to office
and power.. The warning, howetrer,
loses its force when we consider that the
eireemstapces cited are not in any way
similar to those ex'eting' at the present
' day, and that the

elite NORTHWEST TERRITORY.
On Friday Mr. Maeltenzie introduced
a bill for the establishmeat and govern-
ment of the Northwest 'Territory, tie a
Province, t independent of Manitoba, to t
be known as the Northwest Province.
The bill ptoposed to have a Lieutenant -
Governor in the Northetoest territory,
aided bY a Council 'consisting of
members, who may be appointed by the
Magistiates, who would be appointed in
the sante way, ,would be ex ofrio mem-
bers (AU° Council, and theretwould be,
perhapre Indian agents, or other persons
whose place of residence made it con-
venient, appointed ez *to .niembers,
The fit* aection simply stated that the
Land, ahoold continue to be known as
the Northwest 1:territory. An officer
Would -be appointed who would hold of -
lice during tnepleasare of the Goverhor-
General, end receive instructions in the
same weeilas the Lieutenent-Governore
of other Piovinces. It Was roPosed that
in the nteentime the Seat Gevernment
would be et Fort Petty, whielt was as
suitable a Place for the purpose; as could
at present be selected. During -the past
season the Government had constructed
buitdings there for the Northwest poliee
force. rite barracks were sufficiently
commoilioes for the &dement:Iodation' of
200 men, andlwith this building and oth-
ers! thete they- could menage to accom-
modate the oificers connected with the
NorthWest Government without serious
difficulty or expense,. The members of
the Commit,. who were to be appeinted,
should receive a salary not exceeding
$1,000; and the clerk, who was .aled to
act as secretary to the Lieutenant-Goveo
ernor, avae to receive not more than
$1,800 per' annum. The sixth, seventh
Ana eighth sections of the Aet simply
provided for the consolidation of laws
and ordinances now force in that ter-
ritory, and the ninth eection that no
laws should be enacted by the Local
Government of the Provinces_ which
would be inconsistent with any Acts of
the Parlianaent of Canada, Tbe next
few sections provided for thes establish-
ment of! popular government, so far as
that weir at present, practicable, The
eleventh sootier' provided that as sonn
as the Lieutenant-GoVernpr was satisfied
that antr district of not less than 1,000 -
square mile*, had a population of not less
than 10,000, it woad be competent for
hint to give authority by, proclamation
for its heing set apart as an electoral die-
trict, and for the election of a Member of
the Legislative Assembly to trepresent
the district. If the Lieutenant -Govern-
or was} 'satisfied that It district had a
populatiPn of not less than 20,000, he
eould iseue.his writ for the election of a
second !Member. When there were t'a
membeet, the Council should -.Cease), and
the mentbers so elected should be 'con-
stitute& and designated en the!
tive -Council of the Northwest Territory.
It was also provided that every bona Ade
resident and householder in the Terri-
tory, who had been such for not less than
12 months mayvote and all who were
entitled to vote were eligible for election.;
MIMS 12 to 30 contained provisions for
the regulation and -distribution of real
estate. The 'laws prevailing in Ontario
with regard to these mattere would in
in general prevail in the Territory. ,
Clauses . 36 to 44 Made provision for
wills and their registration. ,Clauses 45
to -50 contained regulations defining the
righte of owned women as to property,
&c. Prevision was Made for the exclu-
sion of all intoxicating liquors from the
Territory, and for preventing its manu-
facture and, sale. This would 'give the
people of the Dominion, and especially
those Who had been petitioning the •
an opportunity of finding hoW such a
law would operate. lf prohibition could
be carried successfully int& _ effect in the
,Northwest Territorit0s, it would form an
argument for its introduction in- other
parts of the Ihiminione
On :Monday the s'a.bjeet of Civil Ser-
vice appointments Was' brought up for
discussion. Mr. Casey moved for a Com-
mittee to consider resolutioni on the sub-
ject of the establishment of a system of
competitive examination es a Means of
obtaining eritrance into the public ser-
vice. The present system of notninathig
public servantsSOffered no guarentee for
the efficiency of those appointed. Pro-
motion Was: he.. stated, often made sub-
ject to political contaideratiens, arid Where
these did not prevail, seniority Wet gen-
erally the ground of promotion. The
result was that ineffie'ent men Often rose
to high positions. Young men ef ability
felt that there was little opphrtnnity for
them to rise in the Ciiril Service. It was
possible for Ministers to exercise their
patronage so as to inilueoce meinbers of
the House. After dwelling at tome
length on the evils of the present Mode
of distributing appointments, he strong;
ly urged the establishment. of system
of competitive examination, -whereby the
ability of the applicant should be made a-
