SEAFORTH, \FRIDAY, Sept. 4th, 1896
Donainion Pa.rliament.
There is not much of importance to note
from the Dominion Parliament, during the
past week. Business has been dull and
monotonous. The result of the North Grey
and Queens and Sunbury elections Boerne to
have knocked all the fight and fire out of
the opposition, and the proceedings hae-e
1 :since been dull. The estimates for the
a urrent year have been submitted and are
now beteg discussed. The estimates are
v ery much the same as the late Finance
Minister had prepared for last session, ex-
cept that they amount to about one hun-
dred thousand dollars less. The Finance
Minister explained that he had not had
time since assuming office to enquire
minutely into the financial requirements of
the country and had consequently adopted
the estimates prepared by his ,predecessor,
and if any savings can be mecle, as ed-
perience indicates, the expenditure will not
be made. Under these circumstanceit is
not likely -that there will be much discus-
sion on the estimates and that they will be
passed pretty much as submitted. The
discussion on the correspondence between
the Godernor General and. Sir Charles
Tupper, to which we refer in another
article, will likely take some time, but
aside from this, there does not seem to be
antathing to keep Parliament at work for
more than a .couple of weeks at the longest.
A discussion on civil service dismissals
occupied a couple of sittings, a.nd during
which the Premier laid down the policy of
the Government in this matter as follows :
While be accords to every public seevant
the right to hold whatever political opinions
he chooses and to express them through the
medium of the ballot box, he maintains the
ground that a man in the Government's
employ who actively and offensively par-
ticipates in politics takes his efficial life in
his hands. He has no desire to act
arbitrarily in the matter, but is prepared to
accord a fair hearing to every man accused
of offending in this particular. He pro-
poses that civil servants who want to be
politicians shalt not be hampered by the
restrictions of office in the attainment of
their aspiration.
The Dominion Senate. -
In his first speech in the Senate, delivered
e few days ago, Sir Oliver Mowat very
plainly hinted that before very long a change
in he constitution of that bcdy will certain-
ly- take place. He did not indicate in any
way, however, what that change is likely to
be. Indeed, the Liberal party are pledged
to a reconstruction, and in his remarks, Sir
Oliver was only, in: a very mild way, re-
newing that pledge. It is as yet, probably,
too soon to apecelateas to what form the
proposed change Win take. Many are in
favor of the total abolition of the Senate.
It is not likely, however, that so radical a
change as that will be proposed, nor is it at
all probable that if it were proposed by the
Government that it could be carried out.
There are many, even in Ontario, who
would oppose so radical a change, while it
is said the other Provinces, with the except-
ion of Manitoba, wouli oppose it almost
withaut respect to parties, as they
consider a second chamber necessary fcr the
protection af the mailer Provinces,although
its services have never yet, been required in
this way. Those who. favor the abolition of
the Upper Chamber instance Ontario as hav-
t ing got along very well with but one ehaen-
ber, and think the Dominion might be equ-
!7 ally successful. But, while it is quite true
ft. that Ontario has never felt the necessity for
t
t a second chambeteit must EdS0 be remember-
' ed that the interests of Ontario to be legis -
elated foe by her Legislature, are not nearly
so divergent as are those of the Dominion.
I, The Daminion is a very much larger machine
than the Province, and the interests to be
'Tegislated for are more of a conflicting and
antagonistic nature. But, whatever may be
Said on either side, eithEr for the abolition
F,
or the retention of the Senate, there can
scarcely be two opinions as to the absolute
need for a very radical reform in the con-
stitution of that body. As it now is con-
letructed, it is little better than a farce and
a dangerous one at that. Almost since its
establishment it has been used simply as a
convenience for the political party in power
and au asylum for wealthy politicans who
had become worn out and Were not further
useful to the party except in so far as they
;- could contribute to the partly campaign
funds. As a result of this policy, we new
have the spectacle of a Liberal majority
; representing the people in the popular as-
embly, while there is e large Conservative
enasjorityin the Senate. This majority is
; sufficiently large to burke or veto any legis-
' ation pissed by the Commons. So that in
-.his way the few old foggies who compase
she Senate could set at defiance the wishes
ef the people of the entire Domiuion. They
re, preeticelly, resisters cif the situation.
_ _es:sea-es
It is scarcely possible that they would use
this power, although circumstances might
Iarise in which they would. Thostewho are
appointed to the Senati; do not lose -their
pa.rtzian predilections when they enter that
body. On the contrary, tiey. remain as
keen politicans as ever they were, and they
are just as anxious to advance the interests
of their party as ever they were. Under
these circumstances, it is quite possible to
conceive of an emergency arising when the
Upper Chamber might be moved for purely
political considerations to hataper the peo-
ple's representatives to such an extent 'as to
cause their overthrew, for no other reason
than to secure a political advantage to their
party friends, and as they are appointed for
life there is no way of getting at , them to
punish them for their wrong °. This
is a state of affairs which should not be al-
lowed to continue longer than is absolutely
'necessary to have a reform scheme prepared
and brought into operation. What .this
scheme should be, it is difficult to. seer.
Some favor the appointment of Senator& by
the 'Provincial Legislatures, while others
favor their election by the people, only by
a larger constituency than that which now
elects the members of the Commons, and
for a longer period. This it seems to us
would be the preferable course, as the near-
er the representatives are to the people, the
better, but, whichever way may be selected,
it is high time that the present system
should be changed. The Senators should,
not be beholden for their positions to the
Government whose legislation they are sup-
posed to supervise and they should be ap-
pointed for a specific period instead of for
life, as at present. This, therefore, is a
matter which the country expects Mr.
Laurier's Government to eettle as soon as
possible.
The New Minister.
Hon. Mr. Hardy was not long in filling
the vacancy in his - cabinet caused by the
death of Hon. Mr. Balfour. On Friday last
Hon. E. J. Davis was sworn in as Provin-
cial Secretary. Mr. Davis occupied a posi-
tion in the cabinet without portfolio, and he
has now taken the full responsibilities of
office. He is as good a man as could ba got
for the position. He is an extensive and
successful business man, and is admirably
adapted to control the department over
which he has been called, to preside. • Mr.
Davis is very extensively engaged in the
tanning business. In religion he is a Meth-
odist, and has always taken a very active
interest in every movement in connection
with that denomination: His constituency
is North York, and on account of having ac-
cepted a portfolio, he will have to go back
to his constituents tier re-election. The
nomination has been fixed for Tuesday, Sep-
tember 8th, and the election, should there
be one, will take place on 'the following
Tuesday. Xis likely, however, that there
will not be any opposition.
Hunting the Governor-General.'
The Conservative papers, great and small
and the Conservative politicians as well,ar
after the Governor-General, Lord Aberdeen
if not with sharp sticks, at least with shar
words. The cause for this - somewhat unus
ua.1 outbreak is the correspondence whic
has recently been laid before Parliament
and which passed between the Governor
General and Sir Charles Tap.per, as Prem.
ier, just previous to the resignation of th
Tupper Government. This correspondenc
disclosee the fact that the retiring Govern
ment had passed some four hundred order
in council after the elections; in June, an
bad transmieted them to the Governor
General for his signature and approval. Th
Governor-General refused to sign twenty
five of these. The orders which His Excel
lency refused- to sign were for appointment
to vacancies in the Senate, judgeships a,nd
other such appointments, The. -Governor
General gave as his reasons for refusing. to
sign the orders for these appointments that
the addrnment having been , defeated in
the elections -should only make such ap-
pointments as were necessary in the public
interests, and that could not be delayed, as
y makingbother appointments they, might
be embarrassing to their successors, and
might also make permanent appointments
which would not be a-pproved of by the
people's representatives alien -Parliament
a.ssembled. He pointed out, further, that
many of the vacancies which it was proposed
to fill had existed for years, thu.s showing
that it was not necessary in the public,. in-
terests that they should be immediately fill-
ed. Sir Charles Tupper, an the other.hand,
in -his reply, maintatined that_eit was the
duty of His E. xcelleacy to sa.nctione the ad-
ministrative acts of his constitutional ad-
visers, quoting Englisidand Canadian prece-
cleats, 'where appointments rocommended by
Governments, after they had been defeated.
at the polls and prior to retiring ,from office,
had been approved of by repreSentatives of
the Crown. The Governor, however, re-
mained obdurate, and refus;ed to be con.
vinced by Sir Charles' arguments or preee
dents. Sir Charles thexeupon tendered to
His Ex4ellency his own resignation and that
of his colleagues. This is what all the pres-
ent fuss is about, Siikharles and his friends.
contend ng that the Governor acted the
part of • partizan, and they intend to carry
through the House,. if they can, a vote of
censure on the Governor for his action.
But a vale of censure on the Governor will
also be as vote of censure - ontheGovern.:
ment, as the new Government, in aacepting
office, assufned the responsibility of the
Governor -General's aceion, and this relievea
m
hiof responsibility in softer as he is offici-
ally concerned.
There is not, however, much danger of
any .eucharesolutien passing. .The friends of
the Opposition instance the cas.e',"of Mr. Mc-
Kenzie, when his Government retired. They
say that he made a numbey of appointments
just before he stepped down and out, and
that the then tovernotaGeneral. did , not
withold his assent as has been done on -the
present occasion. This is no doubt the case,
but the situations are entirely different', as
His -Excellency painted out toSir Charles in
the correspondence between them. There
is no precedent, for the present situation. It
is cutirely exceptional in the history of
civilized nations. The Government of Sir
aeee'.T--%r-See
-diaries Tupper did not bave an existeney
unta after the Parliamentary term had ex-
pired, and until after Par iament had ceased
to have an existence. His Government,'
, therefore • had aiever rece'ved the approval
of Parliament, and when it appealed to the
I country was repudiated - y the people. And
in addition to this, fully half of the members
1 of the Government were defeated in their
own -constituencies, a.nd had, consequently,
no mandate, either directly or indirectly,
to deal with the affairs �f the people. It
was quite different with the McKenzie Gov-
ernment.1 They had been in office for five
years ; they possessed the confidence of the
people's epresentatives when Parliament
dissolvedii and moreover, they had voted
to them y Parliament a full year's supplies
before they asked for a dissolution: It will
be seen by this that there was no similarity
between he two eases. Had the last.Gov-
ernment ccupied the position of the Mc-
Kenzie G vernment, it is quite possible that
Lord Ab rdeen would have followed the
course of iis predecessor, Lord Dufferin,and
given his ftssent to the appointments recom-
mended, allowing the incoming Government
to deal with them as they might aee fit.
But he had to act under quite different, cir-
cumstancesThe Government with which
he was dealing had never received the pane -
tion or confidence of the people in any way.
In fact, the very. first opportunity the peo-
ple had f expressing an opinion they re-
pudiated hem. This being the case, they
had no m ssion, in any sense of the term, to
act for th people. In fact, it Must Seem to
ordinary eople a piece of presumption for
a Govern ent in such a position and under
such circ mstances, to recommend appoint-
ments wh ch they properly had no authority
to make. The action of the Governor-
General, under thecircumstances; will be
upheld not only by Parliament but by a vast
majority f the people, and Sir Charles Tup-
per and h s friend e are only inviting, atten-
tion to th ir town cheek and impertinence
by bringi g the matter up in the way they
have. T e people of the country will be
pleased to hear that they have a Governor-
General w o has the courage to do his duty,
even in t e face of the threats of a man of
Sir Cherie Tupper's bullying nature and
-dispositio •
The Iresidentja1 Campaign. ,
The Pre idetitial campaign in the United
States is n w in full swing. Election year
is'generall considered an off year for busi-
ness in th United States, and this time it
is worse (. an usual, as the silver agitation
gives a de ree of uncertainty which has not
formerly eXistecl in Presidential contests.
Business men in many lines, 1.articular1ytin
the Eastern manufacturing centres, have
very fargeifr suspended operations until they
know whet the result will be. Conse-
quently, many people have been thrown out
of ernploynient, and the stringency in trade,
which previously existed, has in this way
been greatl4iagravated,so thtatbusiness affairs
among our outhern neighbors are in very
bad shape at the present time, and there is
not much rospect of. improvement until
next sprin , no matter how the' elections
may resultJ It is now pretty generally un-
derstood, however, that McKinley's chances
are growin, brighter every day. The 'capi-
talists died 'monopolists and monied classes
of all kinds and all shades of politics, are in
his favor, and there as elsewhere, these in-
fluencedare herd to buck against. Money
tells in the United States as well as .else-
where, and under the benign influence of
protection, mmense and powerful influences
and combin 4ons have been built up, which
/practically pule the country, and so control
the politici ns that any movement that is
likely to p ove inimical to their interests,
ca,n be cho ecl o'ff in spite of anything the
farmers an1working classes ileay do. In
1
fact the co nbines rule the United States,
and the common People are becoming little
better thanserfs, who have to hew the wood
and draw the water for their 'masters, and
take such pay and tkatment as the masters
see fit to give them. c\ To this power Mr.
Bryan and his friende-will have to succumb
sooner or later. President Cleveland and
his Cabinet had to do it, and. Bryan is not
stronger t1an he was. But it is not at all
likely that IBryan will ever get that far. He
will be smothered at the outset. In fact, it
looks as if he were nearly smothered already.
Ever since his New York meeting his stock
has been on the decline, -and, as time goes
on, it is likely to recede. He has already,
it is said, practically abandoned the East
and the North, and is depending almost
wholly on the West and South for his sup-
port. • This, doge not look encouraging.

The new city of Roseland, the now fam-
ous mining cainp of British Columbia, al-
though only a out four months old, has
nearly all the acilities and conveniences of
an Eastern cit. There are 30 hotels, sev-
eral of them ve y good ones ; there are over
one hundred b ricer 8 offices, and last, bat
not least, there are between fifty and sixty
lawyers and ni9st of them Canadians. There
are also stores end other business places in
proportion. Nearly half the population Is
composed of Americans. The town is light-
ed by electridity and has a telegraph an&
sts,
telephone service. There is also an opera
house, a Titt1810 hall, three news papers, four
churches and a Salvation Army. Also two
bank agencies. For a mining town it is said
to be remarkably.qui t and orderly and the
people well behaved. It is to beincor orat-
ed before next January, and the first Mayor
is likely to be a well-known Toronto broker
who has taken up his abode there. There
are people there from all parts of the world,
but Canadians and Americans predominate.
It is estimated by sorhe that in five years
Rossland will be a place of forty thoueand
people and the output of gold with be twenty
millions of dollars ye rly.
The Toronto Mail and .Elmpire has the fol-
lowing to say about the new Provincial Sec-
retary : "Mr. Devil,- who is an active re-
ligionist aud advocate of temperance, is a
prosperous tanner, with large interests in
North York, which censtituency he has re-
presented since 1888. . He has always taken
an active interest in the work of the Legis-
lature, where he has shown himself to be a
man of much capacity' As chairman of the
Public Accounts Comrpittee, hehas shown
his strict business Methods and intimate
knowledge of the prolacial accoants."
The Canadian Medical Review cautions
y ung men against taking up Medicine as a
Proie—seion. It will, ne doubt t surprise che
average reader to learn that in Ontario we
have one doctor for every 600 of the popu-
lation, men, women and ehildren included.
According to the editdy of the Review, one-
third of the medical men now in practice in
Ontario could do all the work and then not
be overly burdened with professional cares.
The regular sickness, accidents, maternity,
inquests, insurance, all combined, will not
it is claimed; yield on lan average- for all the
practitioners of/Onta io an income better
than that made by a vell to-do mechanic, or
fairly -paid clerk.
New County Councils.
The Weekly Sun, of Toronto, formerly
the organ of the Patrdn's organization, hes
this to say about the oew county council's
Ac(.:
. _
"Last session the Ontario Government
passed an act reducing the number of county
councillors from 1,400 4nd odd to 500, thus
lalfs viag the farmers about $25,000 a year.
e -act takes effect this fall ; the new dig-
teicts are already being divided off by com-
missioners. Members are to be elected for
two years, but 'no member of the council
of a local municipality, nor any clerk, trees-
Urer, assessor or collector thereof,' shall be
eligible, the object being not only to save
expense but to secure Men who will legis-
late with an eye to the good of a division
they represent, rather than, as new, for
their own particular townships. Some of
the existing county coaneils have as nany
as 60 members, or about as many as the
new council elected in London, England,
with a population under its administration
nearly equal to that of the whole Dominion.
These over grown bodies debate all sorts of
questions, in order, apParently, to prolong
the session, and draw the per dlem allow-
ance., It is said in behalf ef such abuses
that an occasional visit to the county town,
with two or three dollars a day, is really all
that a township reeve gets for devoting
himsel to the public besiness, but that plea
in extenuation is hardly _worth discussing.
Strange to say Mr. Hardy's act is denoun-
ced in some parts of the Province as ' too
radical. Those who raise this cry are prin-
cipally the reeves affected, or persons who,
while aspiring to be reeves, despair of get-
ting into the new councils from ,a larger
constituency. S'urely, 1 when the farmers
understand the measure, they will say that
it is a step in the right direction. It would
do no harm, but much good, if the Provin-
cial Legislature and the Dominion Parlias
merit were cut down in like manner. Econ-
omy is out of the question, unless we begin
at the fountain -head."
