The 1 irst The first di ision took place in the Dominion Par iament on Wednesday evening. The vote took place on Mr. M. C. Camero 's Bill, repealing the present Dominion Franchise Act. Sir. John Thonipson moved as an amend- ment the six months' hoist. The divis- ion was a strictly party one, and gives the Government a majority of 27 in a full house. On ario gives a majority of one to the Go ernnaent, while Quebec gives the Oppo ition a majority of five. Mr. Tarte, thei originator of the Mc- Greevey charges, voted with the Govern- ment. Prohibition. The question f the prohibition of the manufacture, s le and importation of intoxicating lig ors, is one which is gradually gainit g friends and support- ers both in and ut of Parliament. There was a time, and that not very long ago, when the very mention of the word Prohibition in Parliament was- a signal for levity and ridicule. Now, however, the question has become a serious one and has got to be considered in right= down earnest. There are now only a few representatives in Parliament who would oppose P ohibition on principle. t is quite true hat a majority will, in all probability, ote against & straight reeolution in fever of it. But, they will do so, not becau?e they are personally opposed to the principle involved in prohibition, but because of the effect which the passe e of such a measure might have upon their political prospects and partizan e111 ds. There are many Conservatives wire will oppose it be- cause it might embarrass the Govern- ment, and there ' are many Reformers who will oppose it because it might cause a split in the ranks of their party. It is gratifying to notice, however, that most of these have) to cloak their opposition by ouch devices as a pro- fessed belief that the country is not ready for it; that before if ie adopted by Parliament a vote of the people in its favor should be taken; that any Act for Prohibition should be accompanied with provision for compensation, and so on. These are the excupes which will be offered by many when the discussion on Mr. Jamieson's motion comes up in Parliament in a few days. But, when it is necessary for members to put for- ward excuses for voting against prohi- bition, it shows that their constituents are, as a rule, sound on the question. All that is now wanted to secure suc- cess is a little more unity between the Prohibitionists belonging to the two parties in the country. There are good, conscientious Prohibitionists in both parties in Parliament; there are a few out and out opponents in both parties; while the remainder are shysters, who, while professing friendship to the cause, in a sneaking way do all they can to in- ure it. These are -not confined to any particular party, but are found in both. An open opponent is worthy of respect, but a false friend is deserving only of contempt. It is this latter class that the temperance electors should weed out of Parliament before they can hope to get Prohibition. It would almost seem, however, as if the situation for the opponents of Pro- hibition is becoming somewhat danger- ous. Immense pressure is being brought upon members on both sides of the House by the various temperance or- ganisations to induce them to vote for Mr. Jamieson's motion. This is one good sign. Another is that some of the Goverment organs are loudly beating the political drum. They declare that, on account of existing treaties between Canada and other countries concerning imports, the Government are forced to oppose any resolution declaring for the prohibition of importations, and that consequent y Mr. • Jamieson's resolution is simply a Grit device to embarrass the Governme t and injure the Conserva- tive party. All this, of course, is the sheerest no • sense. There is no neces- sity for the Government, as a. Govern- ment, taki g part either on the one side or the ot er; the membera of the Governme • t can vote as they formerly did, in ace rdance with their individual •convictions But, if the Jamieson reso- lution is c rried, and the Government are forced t measure, it what troub way slight them. It organs are simply mak prefer part •ump On, a tituen ts .ar •y such t or tempera iamen tary ides of the ho are wo hese will carry out a prohibitory would of course be some- esome, and might in this y weaken and embarrass 's to avoid this that the now working. They are ng a soft place for those !who interests to prohibition to d if their temperance con - foolish enough to be gulled ales, so much the worse ce. There are many Par representatives, on hoth- ouse, who ire sincere, and king with a single purpose. ot save the Govermdent rorn Emcees ry responsibility on the one ide, nor tvi 1 they unnecessarily embar- ass it on t e other. The number of uch represe tatives is yet small in Par lament, but it is gradually growing. hereare mire of them in this Perna- ent than t ere were in the last, and hen the ti e comes they may make a etter show han any person expects. It is all onsens7 to say that the ountry is n t prepared for prohibition. If the Go ernment and Parliament c uld be ind eed to pass a prohibitory 1 w, we do n t believe there would be olne constituency that would protest a ainst thei action, ,and the enforce - Ment of the I w could be secured if Par- liament dela ed to have it enforced. Remove the uestion from politics and from having an influence on political perties, and here would soon be a pro- hibitory law ell enforced. To so re- move it is th aim of most sincere tem- prrance men but designing partizan demagogues are continually placing obstacles in he way which it takes tine to overc me and remove. A Bill hat Should Pass. i Mr. John Shariton, the worthy repre- seMtative of orth Norfolk, is one of the most useful, s well as one of the most ahle members of the Dominion Parlia- ment. Ever thing calculated to a+d- trance the mo al well-being of the peo- ple -is alway sure of Mr. Charlton's earnest suppo t. He has made -several efforts to hay the laws guarding the otiservance of the Sabbath improved and mnde mbre st ingent, but has only been , p Irtially sue° saint. It is due in no sr all degree o his efforts, however, th t the Well nd and other canals are h reafter to e closed for traffic during th hours of the Sabbath. To effect fnfu ther impro ernents in this direction h has introd ced during the present ae sion a naea ure which should become 1av, and whic • should meet with very little oppositi n in the Parliament of a Christian country. That such a law would be welcomed .by the people is amply manifested by the large number of petitions fr m all parte of the Domin- ioi that have his session been sent to P rliament as ing for legislation that wi 1 secure a n ore faithful observance of the Lord's c ay. The first four sec- tioits of Mr. C arlton's bill are as fol- loWe : Whoever oi the Lord's day shall either labor hi iself or compel his ap- prentice, serva it, or other person under his control or harge to labor, or per- for4n any other1 work than the house- ho11 offices of 4aily necessity, or other wo ks of meet; ity or charity, shall be de mod to be g ilty of a misdemeanour. Whoever on the Lord's day sells, or publicly show • forth, or exposes or offers for sale r purchases any goods, chattels, or oti er personal property, or any real estate whatsoever or does any wok or busine s of his ordinary calling, woks of neces ity and charity only f ac• cepe, d, shall b deemed to be guilty of a rniedemeanoi r. Whoever she 1 on the Lord's day r be gui ty of promoting, directing, or caus- ing horse rac ng, foot racing, cock fighting, or do fighting, or shall engage in any noisy public game whereby, the peape and qulei of the Lord's day is disturbed, and rianual labor made neces- sary in prepari g for and conducting the same, shall be deemed to be guilty of 0 misdemean 'ur. Whoever she I on the Lord's day tip- ple in anyj inn, tavern or house of pub - t lic ntertilinme t, or ;hall allow ter per- mit tippling in ny such inn; tavern or house of public ntertainment, or ;hall revel or publicle exhibit himself in a state of intoxic tion, or shall brawl or use, profane1 nguage in the public streets or open ir, so as to create any riot or disturba ce or annoyance to Her Majesty's pea° able subjects, shall be deerned to be guilty of a misde- meanour. In addition the bill provides that there shall be •o huntiug or fishing on the Lord's day. Provision is also made that there shall not be publication of newspapers, th t canals shall not be ope1 for traffic n Sunday except by an ord r-in-Counci after the first day of November in • h year; that there sisal be no Sun • ay railway traffic, ex - cep two throng • passenger trains each way onany tru a k line in Canada when con ection with United States railroads ren ers them ne eseary, and that there be n. Sunday e cureions. The second secCon of the cl use regarding railway is as follows: A such time the laws of the United Stet a shall mak corresponding provis- ion, no through freight in transit fr m One point on the frontier of the Uni d States to some other point on the said frontier shall be allowed ,to pass over Canadian roads on the Lord's day, ex- cept live stock and perishable goods. The penalty fixed in the bill is a flee not to exceed fifty dollars, nor ! to be less than one dollar for each offeneh, one-half to go to the party prosecuting, prosecution to be begun before IC justiee of the peace within one month after t e offence and not afterward; for offences committed by railway companies, how- ever, the penalty is to be' a fine not e4. ceeding $400, to be reco ered by an person suing for the same OUR esteemed Leadbu y correspo dent says : "An intelligen• t article n the Edito ial columns of THE EXPO. ITOR of Is week fully demonstrates he fact th the American consumer pi ys, if not al at least nearly all, the duty on eggs. eggs are the same price,in Canada no as they should have been t the sem season last year, as alleged, how can w account for them being four cents pe dozen higher in New Yor than what they were a year ago. W y, any on with sense enough to come n out of th rain can see it is the duty • oes it," Our correspondent is not quite correc .11 his conclusions.

It was, however, shown ver learly that in a compariso of Canadia nd New York price e last ear and this he price of eggs in Canada this year i hree cente lower than it w uld be bu or the American duty. T is being th ase it is nonsense to assu e that th merican consumer pays the whole o early the whole of the duty.

McDon- al the Government cand date, by a go d majority. This result ras almost expected, as the constituen y hes been re resented by Mr. Dawson, a Conser- vative, for years. It is also ne of those co tstituencies in which the C. P.

CHAPLEAU stated in the House of Commons the other day that there would be a revision of the Dominion re' lists this year. Frequently since n the Empire has been frantically ap- ling to its friends to see that the es �f -all Conservatives are put on th4 lists. The anxiety, which the organ ma ifeste in this matter would seem to in icate that another general election m be looked for before long. Mr. Ch pleau's promisee, however, in refer - e to the voters' lists are not much to elied on. Last session of Parliament olemnly promised that the lints would revised before the general election uld take place, but the election was ered and there was no revision of lists, and as a _result several thous - who had a legal right to vote were arred from doing so, because their na es *ere not on the lists, and thou- s& ds More who had no legal right to vote were allowed to do so, simply be- cause their names had not been removed. vo th Pc na en be he be sh or th an de me an the the 011 in ier' sio he Po COM safe tien ing 02)IINION PARLIAMENT.

The Committee on Privileges and Elections, after orderiug the papers wanted from the public departments by Mr. Tarte to ass et in establish- ing the charges against Hon. Thomas McGreevy and Sir Hector La.ngevin,sub- pcenaed two witnesses rom Quebec and adjourned until Mr. Tarte has had an opportunity of perusiu the official do uments.

A full hour or more has been con- sumed in the House each 'day by the presentation of thousands of petitions, most of them for prohibition of the li- quor traffic,a good number for raising the age below which girls cannot give their consent to men, and many from labor unions asking for legislation in the in- erests of the working classes. Some of he prohibition petitions when present - d by well known convivial souls are re- eived with laughter, and frequently hree or four rise to their feet at the ame time, and as each thinks he -has he floor they all kept it amid loud ries of " order " until the Speaker in- ervenes.

Certainly more than in the ld, and if they were allowed by their espective leaders to vote freely, a very arge number. As it is the re are robably thirty who may be term - d MoCarthyites, though probably ot , more than twenty would ote straight for his bald propo- tions.
