)th, 1900
The Parliaments.
The Dominion Parliament has aow been
in session four weeks or over and so far as
• we have noticed the only measure of impor-
tance passedl is the Redistributien bill. The
Finance A inister's resolutions providing for
*the expenses and support of the Canadian
Contingents to South Africa, although ad-
vanced a stage during the past week, have
not yet been fully adoped, although the
House is unanimously in favor of them.
The reason for this is, that every time they
come up for discussion the Opposition start
out to try and prove that some members of
the Government and their supporters are
not as loyel to the British Crown as they
think they should be. This has been kept
up in seassn and out of season ever since
the session commenced, lentil the thing is
worn threed bare and every person is tire d
of it. The Opposition are not strengthen-
ing themselves in the. country by the course
they are pursuing and the sooner they
abandon it, and settle down to business, like
sane men, the better for themselves and the
country. Their object seems to be to create
• a feeling among English speaking people
that the French Canadians of the Province
of Quebec are dieloye.I and that Sir Wilfred
. Laurier, being aFrench Canadian, is an un-
safe man to be Premier of the country.
This is thcir game, but it Win not work.
They neat, do a great deal of harm in stir-
ring up 8.rife and bitterness between the
the two nationalities, especially inquebee,
but the people of Ontario are too sensible
to be moved by such tactics from their al-
legiance to a good man—a man who has
done more to cement people of all creeds
and nationalities into one common and
united people under British rule, than all
the Tuppers and Wallaces and their follow-
ers put together
In the Ontario Legislature there has been
about as ouch talk and as little real work
done as at Ottawa. However, the Address,
after being discussed for three weeks, has
been finally 'mimed and ere this the
Treasurer will have delivered •, his
Budget seeech. The Opposition in the
Legislature seem to have but one song, and
that begine.and ends With 'Nese Elgin, and
they have sting it so often that they now
seem to think there is some merit in it.
The first division of the seseion, however,
which took place Tueeday night, showe that
they must get sotnetling stronger than this
to upset t he Government, the sole object
they have in view. On the division the
Government had a majority of seven, exclu-
sive of the Speaker. This is as large as any
Provincial Government should have, and
ehows that Premier Rose and his colleagues
are perfectly safe for thia Legislative term,
and if they return from the people two
years hence as strong as they now are, they
will have no cause to find fault with their
fortune.
The report of the special financial com-
mission .has been issued, and if does not
afford. the Opposition very much comfort
either. It shows that the Province ha e in
its treasury cash and securities to th e
amount of two millions of dollars over and
above all liabilities, present and future, al-
ready coneracted, and not ineluding the
valuable public buildings of the Province.
the immenee areas of timber and minera'
lands, and the hundreds of thousand!' of
dollen worth of ealeahle property it owns in
Toronto and other cities intheProvince.
This is a `eetter showing than any other
Province in the Dominion, or any _State in
the Union can make. This should satisfy
the people. It speaks more loudly in favor
of Liberal rule than Mr. Whitney, or ev en
Mr. Carscallen, in their loudest key, can
thunder against it. Uo long as the G-4vern-
meat can make such a showing as thi4 they
need have no fear in facing the people.
British Columbia, Politics.
Tan loca politicians of Britith Columbia
are having hot time. We mentioned 1st
week that he Serrilin Government, having
met with a adverse vote in the Legisla-
ture, was dismissed ley the Lieutenant.,
Governor, ho bad called on Hon. Joseph
Martin to orm a new government. It
seems, how ver, that Premier Semlin, after
the defeat f hie government, had arranged
with the 0 opusibion, by conceding certain
points to ta ern, to be permitted te continue
in power. This arrangement he reported to
the Lieutei ant Governor. But this func-
tionary refi sed to sanction this comprom-
ise, and dei anded.of Mr. Sandia his reale
-
nation. T iie Mr. -Semlin refused to give,
and therm pon the Lieutenant -Governor
dismissed Fin. At the first meeting of the
Legislature after thole negotiations had
taken piaci a reeolution was passed to the
effect that the t: )vernment, having still the
control of the I. tee:attune it should not be
dismissed aud pretesting against the action
of the Li mut oo-Goveruor as unconsti-
tutional. te-otet ion wag also passed af-
firming that the Legislature had no confi-
dence in M
the Lieute
e Martin,. the gentlemen whom
anaGovernor had. celled upon to
form a Government. The Lieutenant-
Gaveraor p Lid no attention to these reso-
lutions, etai th were carried almo et unani-
mously by the Legislature,• but proceeded
to prorogue that body. Whea he attended
for proroga -ion, every member in the house
•
•
rose and left, with the exception of Mr.
Martin, and when the Lieutenant -Governor
took his seat on the dies there was not a
member hut the one in the house. Nothing
daunted, he proceeded with the formality
and dee axed the Legislature prorogued.
After he left., the members returned to their
places and af er singing God save the
Queen, d sperse . And thus matters stand
at.the pr sent t me. Mr. Martin is en-
deavorin to fo m his Government, and if
he suoce de, wil likely get the Lieutenant-
Gov.erno to dis olve the Legislature, and
will appeal to t e country. This is his
only cou se, as he present Legislature will
not easter him. Ile seems to have con”
siderable difficu ty, thus far, iit procuring
men to aid him, as at the time of writing
his Goveeriment has nob been nnbunced.
The prob bilitie are, however, iat he will
succeed, a he h s until next J ne before
he need to call the Legislatu together
again.
The conduct ef the Lieutenant -Governor
is very strongly censured by t e leading
politicians; in B itish Columbia, and it is
said oomPlaint as been made o the Ot-
tawa GoVernme t. But what etion they
will take if any remains to be een. The
1
proceeding, to s y the least, i unusual,
although it is p ssible that he has acted
within his powe s. In the first lace, it is
unusual to dism ss a Governmen that has
control of the souse, and in he second
place, it is very nusual to call u on a pri-
vate member Vhs has absolutely no follow-
ing in the house such as Mr. Martin, to
form a Governm nt. But, as the whole
proceeding must be reviewed by the people
and sanctioned sy them, we suppose it is
all right, if the eople, who rule, are satis-
fied. If they de id& against the action of
the Governor, when their time comes, then,
of course, His Honor will have to ' retire,
and his Minister with him and otherswho
are satisfactory o the people, will take
their places. I the meal:hie-re, although
Mr. Martin may" have a hard time in form-
ing the new Gov! rnment, he is hav.ng his
emlin and the others who
g him down a few months
revenge on Mr.
assisted in turni
ago. It, is not often that under similar
circumstances, a man so soon gets his in•
nings, but the wheel of fortune' turns nuick-
ly .in the New West.
The War.
There i not much to report from the seat
of war in South Africa this week. "Siece
the good ews of the surrender of Cronje
and the r lief of Ladysmith, chronicled last
week, the British troops seem to be taking a
breathing spell. Makefing is still being be-
sieged by the Boers, and the garrison there
is reported to be in bad straits. 1 A portion
of Generall Rob rts' command, however, is
rIeported to be o the way to her relief, and
possibly by thi time that town has also
been set free, a well as Kimberly and
Ladysmith. Several minor engagements
have tak n pla e between detachments of
Britains i.nd Bo re at various points, and

with the object of intersepting 'Roberts'

ital of the State, and it is not unlikely that
the next great battle will be fought in that
vicinity. But as the plans of General Rob-
erts for th fubn e, whatever they may be,

NOTES. The big folks—more shame to
them—went to Wingham to celebrate the
relief of Ladysnaith and left the responsi-
bility of the Bluevale celebration to fall on
the shoulders of the "lu,mps of boys," who
were nobly entouraged by th "slips of
girls." They drew logs and wood and made
a big bonfire .in the middle of I the street.
They cheered for the l Caned ans ; they
cheered for the Britons;Ithey blew tin
horns; they shouted themselves hoarse, and
caressed wee
melody from tin pane. But
while all that was considered good in its
place, it was not esteemed as loyal as shoot-
ing off a gun. Censequently d chance to

riage with Effie McInnes, of Dalhousie

York State. His likSt move was to Usborne,
where bel cleared a farm on the 18th con-
pession. In 1876 Mr. Cameron sold his farm
and retired to a comfortable cottage on the
6th concession, where he has resided ever
since. 1avitig spent 80 years in Canada,
Mr. Cameron is able to tell many interesting
stories of the hardships and pleasures inci-
dent in the life of the early settler. Although
having reached such a great age, Mr. Oam-

his life and enjoys, as well as ever, his Globe
