The t„nt4etting of members.
• A plate statement of the law regarding the
gazetting>'of the nteunbers of Parliament and
lif the facts as to the gazetting of the mem-
bers at the recent general election, should be
enough to arouse the indignation of all fair -
Minded people, whatever their political opi-
nions. The returning officers are required by
Ie,w to malto their returns within six days,
unless a recount had been demanded or some
lregularity had been discovered. The Clerk
OT the Crown in Chancery is required to
gazette the return of the members in the
next issue of the Gazette after the return has
been received. The Clerk of the Crown in
Chancery reports that the return for East
Enrotlwwas delayed by the Returning Officer
for thirty-two clays, that for East Peterboro
thirty-three days, that for Novth Wellington
twenty-one days, that for Prince' Edward
ilvegty-one days, that for Ea -at -Elgin twenty
• eight days, that for East Northumberland
thittyesix days, that for East York thirty-
aeven days, and that forSouth Brant thirty
• bine days after election day, In many of
these oases the Clerk of the Crowd 1n Chan-
cery further greatly delayed the gaa`zetting of
the t°eturns. Tho East Elgin return was
not grdzetted for eighteen clays after its re-
ception, thus making the total delay by both
the Returning Officer and the Clerk of the
Grown hi this .eitaa --•ey flays.- Iu the
'case of East Northuinberlaud the gazetting
' .was delayed fey ten days, making a total in
"" that case of forty-six days also. Mr. Mc-
Kenzie's return for East York was not gaz.
etted for nine days after its return, making
the total delay in the ease of the statesman
evhose name the Conservatives pretended to
honor' during the late election,forty-six days.
These are a few examples of the greater'cle-
lays in the returning and gazetting of mem-
bers. It is needless to say that each and
every case cited is that of a Liberal. It is a
fact that the return of every one of the
Ministers was gazetted within seven days
after he was returned. The C'erk of the
Crown in Chancery declares that the delays
"'- avere-swing•--to•erregularities and -the -great •
number„ of documents which had to be ex
nmined, That would account for the delay
if the delays were not alrhost strictly con-
fined to the returns.of the Liberals. In view
of the'fect that 180 returns during the four
weeks • icceeding the elections, ninety-eight
Of 'which were Conservatives and seventy-
• eight Liberals, ninety three out of ninety-
• eight Conservatives were gazetted, and only
flfteeu out of seventy -eight Liberals were
gazetted, shows, as Mr. Blake put it, that
the delay of the Liberal returns were no
mere matter of chance; but was owing to the
fact that "thee were loaded." The reason
for the delay in the case of the Liberal re-
turns, and the hurrying of the gazetting in
the case of Conservatives, is not •far to
•Seek. The delay in gazetting prolongs the
time during which the return may be pro-
tested. The Clerk of the Crown in Chan-
cery appears not only to have been unfair
towards the members returned, but also to-
. wards the returning of eei•s, many of whom
he appears to have slandered to drift the
blame from his own shoulders to theirs. It
Iii little wonder the Government opposed the
Motion for an enquiry.

The.factthat an impo- rtant body like thd
Toronto Board of Trade thought it worth
while to discuss the question of Commercial
Union, is in itself a significant indication of
the trend of public sentiment among busi-
ness men. Those who have for years given
the matter -serious consideration, are only
more fully' convinced that the advantages
arising out of Commercial Union ' would be
isehn}tely great tp Canada. We are not one
of those who believe that Canadian indus-
.
dries wouldsufferby berm pissed cnan equal
f :toting with their Ameripan neighbors. We
believe that, other things being. equal,Cana-
dians are well able to hold their own, being
anst as enterprieiug and energetic as their
neighbors south of the fortieth parellel, and
if there are any disadvantages whatever
connected with the principle of Commercial
3niou,.thby are more than offset by the acl-
s/antaes that would arise from an elilarged
zaarket. At the Board of Trade meeting
alluded to Mr; H. W. Darling, President of
the Bank of Commerce, moved and Prof.
Geldwin Smith seconded. the following re-
solution : —
"That in conformity with the sentiments
of the Canadian people, expressed at intor-
vals with great unanimity for niany years,
this board regards as advantageous to the
mutual properity of the United States and
Canada, the removal of every possible re-
't,•triction upon international trade, and af-
f'ir'ms that the proposal for commercial
U nion between the two countries is worthy
of the fullest investigation and most earnest
consideration of the Canadian community."
Both mover and seconder made effective
.speeches, Mr, Darling dealing with the alle-
gation that commercial union would injure
manufactdring, importing and banking in-
terests. I -Io favored complete commercial
•anion with a common enetoms tariff against
the world, and the pooling of customs re-,
:eeipts, and their distribution according to
population. Mr. David Blain •moved an
amendment,
"That while dp°siring to maintain friendly
relations with the people of the United
States, the Board express the hope that
some other solution of existing difficulties
might be found without resorting to com-
mercial -union."
Me. George A. Chapman moved a second
amendment favoring a return to the old re-
ciprocity arrangement of 1854.60. ' Mr. D.
Art. Wilkie, banker, moved a third amend-
ment condemning commercial union with
the United States and favoring an Imperial
Zollver fn with Groat Britain.
On TMlrsday night last the Board re•oon•
sidored this question, and pnsserl the follow
lug resolutions, moved les John Macdortald,
Adry•goods merdbinit
"Thai this Board is of the opinion that
neither in its trade or other relations should
any cause of soif.r exist fight's:al Cuuarla sell
the great nation wi' h nlricli i;eonraphfeally

"That is believes that a cuinas;cial treaty,

partlet?, can be. drained' in a ch a spirit of
fuirneae as will atf"rd the best guarantee of
its perpetuity.
"That rite Board is in favor of the em-

end so much to be desired, but that in sour

we do among ih na iot-s of the earth.

In response to a delegation that waited
upon it, to change its policy of disallowance,
the Government has expressed its determin-
ation of standing by the C. P. Rolm(' re.
fuses to allow branch lines of railway to be
built to the boundary. Writing hereon, a
Winnipeg correspondent makes the • follow-
ing statement : —
Businoss in every lino is almost at a stand-
still—everybody is waiting anxiously to see
if railway monopoly is going to be abolished
when Watson's resolutions come up for dis-
cussion in the House at Ottawa, neat week—
if not, then there will be a general exodus,
and the meagre population of the Province,
which is only 88,000 whites according to the
last census—or less than in 1882—will be
reduced to 59,000 next, fall. Uapital,..wllich.

before long to the primitive system of barter.
Though complimentary to the country in
the highest degree, the fact that the most of
t,nose who are going away leave it with pain-
ful regret, only aggravates the case. The y
say they would tar rather stay if they could
get along here. And it is the pushing, enter-
prising men that are leaving as a rule, the
very men we can least afford to lose. There
is something remarkably fascinating about
the Northwest, in spite of all its clrawbacks,
that makes people like it. The prevalence
of bright sunny weather the year round is
conductive to high spirits and buoyant
hopes. One never gets the suicidal blues
here as he does down below. The climate is
extremely healthful, end except occasional
days in the mid -winter months, which ,are
"a wee bit nippy," one enjoys it better than
anything else here. The country is all right
if it only had a fair chance.
