Nothing of a striking or particularly in teresting nature has- transpired in the Do4 roiaion Parliament during the past week.i Our legislators Lave been busy rn.ost of the tirne considering and passing the estimates as they were submitted by the Finance Minister. These were, on the whole, pretty much as they had been prepared by the late Government for presentation to Parlienten, t at the last session, but which were not passed. Consequently -there tvas not any serious opposition to them,although many items called forth considerable dis- cussion. We notice that the sum of $28,000 hes been granted for repairs and improve- ments to Goderich harbor. The expectation is that it the flood gates of speech can he kept sufficiently ia check, prorogation will take place oatSaturda.y, and. if not, early ine the next weels under any ciroutosta,neet. The Homier the close comes the better; the legislators are tired of it, the people are tired of it, and the Government have little e. —an time to set their house in order and get their policy built up for the next ses- sion, whieh is expeeted to be the most inter - eating and important session since Confed- eration. It is the next session which will, practically, fix the fate of the Liberel party for many years to come. If their policy is acceptable to the country, and theY give evidence of a sincere desire to earrY out their pledges to the people,ourConserva- tive friends may bid. farewell to power at -Ottawa for a generation, at any rte. But if the Government disappointthe people and manifest ahdisposition to prove recreant to their pledges when seeking office, a con- tingency _which we have no fear will arise, their career will be short lived and the Tories will &nee more be in possession of the flesh pots before many years pass arou.nd. Prohibition. Our good friend the Hamilton.. Teinplar says z "Tun, Exeosreettrightly distinguishes "between a- Prohibitory law enacted and 'en-• e" forced.' The latter, we frankly confess,is "what we are after, but what we fear is "unattainable by the _plebiscite proposal,' Yes, there is quite a difference between EN*, ACT/NO and ENFORCING a law, at why it should be a.ny more difficalt to enforce a law that had been asked for by a plebiscite than one that had been _leashed by the Legisle- tare without any such. mandate from the people,la something we are still in ignerauce of. Now, if the Templar and all other journals and medinms of pablic instruction desirous of securing the passage of a pro- hibitory law first, and of having it enforced afterwards, Will, instead of simply lending all their inflnence and strength to secure a favorable vote, endeavor to lay the matter fairly and squarely before the people in all its bearings, and in this way try to secure an intelligent vote rather than a ftwora,ble verdict, a very greet den) will be -done to- wards ensuring the enforcement of the act, should it secure a favorable vote and be passed. Impress upou the people that no persona can honestly vote in favor of prohi- bition, unless they are prepared to honestiy carry it out after ib is passed, and all who vote for it with other intentions, with the view that it is to be observed by their ueighbor and violated by themselves, are by their votes deceiving the Government arid the Legislature, end are in this way acting dishonestly. No person should vote for it either, unless they realty want such a lets, passed and enforced, andthat they are willing to bear their fair share of the direct less it will entadI upon the country, and the expellee that will be necessary to ensure its enforcement. No such law will enforce it- aelf. It will net be enforced, if left to the people, or to puldie sentiment, as it is call- ed, fol- enforcement. It must be enforced by permanent officers, appointed by the 0ot-eminent, and answerable to the Govern - meat for the due performance of their sta- tics, so that t he Government can be held re- ssponsible if it is not enforced. All this will cost motley. Every elector, therefore, who votes for prohibition, votes that thie expense ought to be incurred. Besides this, with the law paned and enforced, there will be a yearly loss to the revenuoof seven mile !ions of dollars. This loss must be made up by taeatien in souse other way. No persoe should rote in -favor of a prohibitory law who is not prepared to bear his full share of this extra taxation, as well as his share of the expenses of enforeing the law. If none but these vote for the act, and it is carried by such a. vote, there is not the Ieast danger but the law will be passed, and it is equally certain that it WIljr be enferced, A prollibi- itory law not enforced would be alcurse, and it will not and cannot be enforced unless it can be earried by such a vote as we have says: "Th, best business Men in the I:Ri- mini-on are confidenely expecting a marked revival of business - this fall, and with the dawn of 1897-, the beginning of - the most prosperous year of the decade." We Sin- cerely trust the predicticins of our contem- porary may be more than realized. But, in so far as this distriet .is concerned, we are sure the change is not yet apparent to the naked eye. 1 It would seem that. Hon. Mr. Blake is gradually severing all his conneetions in this country, with the view of becoming permanently identified with old world affairs. He has recently retired from the Presidency Of the Toronto General Trusts Company, an institution with which he has been identified since its inception, over fOute teen years ago. The reason given for this step is that he is desirous of devoting all bis time and energies to his duties as Irish Parliamentary representative.' Sir Richard Cartwright, Minister of Trade and Commerce in the Dominion Gov- ernment, last week paid a visit to Hon. Joseph Chamberlains Colonial Secretary, who is at present on a -visit to Boston,where his wife's parent e reside: Sir Richard re- ports having had a very pleasant interview with the eminent English statesman, but. does not reveal what the object of the inter- ' view was, or the nature of the subjects discussed. However, all this will likely be made known in clue time. At the Reform convention, held last week in South Essex, to select a candidate to con- test the constituency rendered sateant by the death of the late Hon. W. D. Balfour. Me John Auld, Mr. Balfour's business partner, was the unanimous choice. Mr. Auld has been reeve of Amherstburk for about fourteen years,, and has been warden of the county of Essex. He is, therefore, well qualified for the posibion to which he aspires, and will likely be elected. At a Copservative Convention, subeequently held,_ Mr. Scratch, reeve of Merseta was selected as Mr. Auld's opeonent. Ile will have to scratch pretty hard to make even a decent show againat his opponent, as the. eonstitu- ency is strongly Liberal, while Mr. Auld is one of the best men in the comity, and will soon beeorne as proirtinent in politica ,as his predecessor. • The Benchers of the Law Scaiety have changed their minds about the adinissioneef women to practise law as barristers. A short time ago they passed a resolution re- fusing this privilege to the gentleil sex, even after they had complied with all the other requirements, but we 'notice they have now rescinded this resolution, and are prepared to permit women to practise on the -same eenditions as their liege lords, if they so de- sire it.• They might as well have done this racefully at first. But it it probable theyi are even now actuated ,-more by fear than love. They knew that if they did not come down from their perch they would be brought down by the .Legislature at its first session, and might, in addition, lose some other privileges which age accorded them. The gentlemen of the learped professions are human like the rest of us and they take all they can get, but when. 'they find they can not get all they want, they st them- selves to circumstances and ,profess content- ment with what they have. A short time ago the Medical Council passed certain rules which were burdensome to students; and were calculated to send softie of our bright - eat and best young men out of the country, and they adhered to these until the Govern- ment interfered, and introduced a measure depriving them of the power • to exercise this power which they were abusing, when like the law society, they came down and agreed to what was wanted of them. Both refused to capitulate until the club was held Over their heads, when they speedily agreed to reason. They need looking after. The telegraph , operators and train de- apatchers en the Canadian Pacific ' Railway belonging to the International Railway Tele- grapher's Union, have-gone'out on • serike. • . The strikees .are said to namber between seven- and nine hundred and are spread over the line and its various branches from the Atlantic to the Pacific. The grievance of the strikers is said to be that they have to work too long hours, and -many of them are forced to do menial work not at all connect- ed with their regular calling,- Such as attend switches, pump veatet for the engines and such other work, calculated' to save the dome party the expense of employing workmen, such as they should do for theets purposes. On thc side of the company it is said that according to the rules the men. should firet lay thole grievances -before the diyisihnal superintendents andif these officers 'fail or refuse the desired redress, then they .con ape peal to the executive. In this instance the men went direct to the executive Who refuee, to hear them until they take the cootie - prescribed in the rules of the corepeny. This, the niers for some reason refuse to do, and hence the trouble. It is (suite possible that the men have well Mended grievances, as is usually the case under each circum- stances, as meet do not give up good situa- tions for no substantial reasons, but the present is e particularly bad time for a strike, as there are thousands of Operators, both in this country and the -United States out of employment and anxioutly waiting for a job, and many of these will be only too ready to step into the vacancies 'caused by the strikers and the strikers will be left out in the cold, while the company will not be seriously injured, or even inconvenienced. Indeed, this is what the company is depend- ing upon and they are already overwhelmed with applications for vaceut positions. The. strike, therefore, as all such occurrences usually- do, will result in loss to both parties and in many instances to positive hardship and suffering to the striking employees. . • —Annie Stewart, deughter of Mr. John Stewart, 4th conceesion, Stanley, Passed away on Sunday 20th lilt , at the age of 29 years..
