The British Columbia Leg'slalure
lias been dissolved and Premier Mc-
Bride is, again . appealin,g to the peo-
ple. The elections, take place this
month. frii.e Opposition Leader is •Mr.
McDonald., a von of Mr. James MC -
Donald, of Stretford, a nephew of
Hon. Dr. McDonald, of Wingham, and
if we mistake not, a, native of the
tovrnen.ip , of Tuckersmith. In the
event of the Opposition being success-
ful in thiv election, Mr, McDonald
will be the new Premier. The gener-
al expectation, however, is that the
McBride Gevernment will be *sustain-
ed. There is talk about Mr. McInnis,
- Governor of -the Yukon, resigning that
position and running _for a British
Columbia, constituency and in that
event ne will, be associated With Mr.

He has had his turn; he let it slip
and a second opportunity rarely, if

people who 'have had a busy life it
is hard for him to realize that he

The BrItieb, House of Lord i are
: getting into trouble with tne pop-
ular and elective body. They emas-
culated the Educational bill passed
by the Commons; they made soar
faces at The Workingman's Trades
Disputes Bill, and finally . passed it
after several members speaking very
bitterly against It, but they • baulked
entirely at the hill a.bolishang plural
voting and threw it out without
ceremony. • The object of this • bill
was to prevent ^ citizen from voting
'in more conetitrlicies than one • at
an election. At r-eeet a person may
vote in all the ceeetituenciee where
Are has a certain .mount of property.
The result. of this condition of things
is that many constituencies tan nev-
• er be renresented by a resident
Member of Parliament. So many out-
eide votere appear on election days
that the reeidents are swartiped. In
London City. In one of the certain-
• uencies, probably from -25,000 to
85,000 are non-reeldent. But as the
Coneervative party would be 'the
most affected by the reforin, owing
to the =neer of latidown.ers among
them, the Peere have no use for such
a reform art Is proposed. The Peees
largely represent the lend owning ar-
istorracry. and it is this cumulative
voting power that gives them their
great Influence in Parliament. It is
not surprising therefore that the
Peers ehoulcli, desire to llueng on to
this relicof an lent aristocracy- or
plefitoeracy. . Bu!, the world le
