The Queen, the Lords, and
Rome Rule.
Lord Salisbury has plainly intimated
that if a home rule bill passes the
House of Comuions it cannot become
law, for both the House of Lords and
the Queen are unalterably opposed to
any such measure. This talk of the
Premier has had apparently no effect
at all in Great Britain, where the state
of things is pretty well understood,
but we observe thata number ot news-
papers express the fear that, in con-
sequence of this threat, "home rule is
doomed." Our esteemed contempor-
aries nuty dismiss their fears. It is
tolerably certain that almost the first
event 6f the co9aing session will be the
introduction of a bill for the establish-
ment of a local parliament at Dublin
to legislate for strictly Irish affairs; the
bill will encounter violent opposition in
the House of Commons, but it will pass
that body, and eventually it will be-
come the law of the realm.
It is doubtful if the House of Lords
will dare to reject the measure, al-
though it would very much like to do
so. Its own existence is at stake in the
matter, and it has no real power to
block the will of the House of Com-
mons. For the past fifty years there
has been a growing impatience in
Great Britain with the so called "upper
chamber." Well informed members of
that chamber understand that nothing
is wanted to fan the flame of this im-
patience into a consuming blaze except
a persistent attempt to :defeat some
one bill that the voice of the nation, as
expressed in the election of its repre-
sentatives, has sanctioned. Though
there have been many threats like
this of Lord Salisbury, they have
never been carried out. The nearest
approach was in 1381, when the Irish
land bill aroused such deadly hostility
from the aristocrats. But after blus-
tering and halting awhile they yielded.
In saying that the House of Lords
has no real power we mean just this:
Besides the fear of being done away
with altogether the Lords have a sword
of Damocles always hanging over them
in the shape of the power possessed,
nominally by the sovereign, actually
by the Prime Minister, of "creating"
new peers. All that Gladstone will
have to do, if the Lords try to "hang
up" his home rule bill, is to say to
Salisbury and the rest: "Very well,
rn'Nrds. shall 'advise' Her Majesty
to create enough Liberal peers to insure
a compliance with the people's will."
This has been done more than once in
British history. It was the blunt
threat of doing it which, after the
country had been thrown into a tem-
pest of excitement, induced the upper
house to Consent to the reform bill of
18:32.
As for the chatter about unyielding
opposition from the Queen, that does
injustice to the royal lady and to the
intelligence of those who let them-
selves be frightened by such talk. The
Queen will hardly think of such a
thing as interposing her personal feel-
ings and wishes against the expressed
judgment of a majority of the people
of the United Kingdom. Slap did it
once and was taught a lesson that she
could never forget. No king or queen
of England has done such a thing for
many generations. A royal veto is
never dreamed of as possible.
"Eating Crow," never a desirable oc-
cupation, is what a number of editors
find themselves engaged in just now.
A number of people think they should
not have been let off even after eating
their crow.
Hon. 0. W. Ross may not be are
of the fact, and he certainly does not
intend to do what is being done, but he
is, indirectly, making many students
and others with Liberal tendencies, so
heartily sick of some matters that re-
late to his department, that it will be
difficult to retain their political sym-
pathy and support unless some change
is made. We are aware that it is diffi-
cult to make his departmental work
acceptable to all classes, because it af-
fects the people more directly than
some of the other departments, but the
complaints of students and members of
school boards, however uncalled-for
some of it may be, cannot all be with-
out foundation, and the advice of a
paper that believes in Liberal principles
to the fullest extent, is to remove as
far as possible, every just cause of
complaint.
Mr Greenway Sustained.
After a hot contest in Manitoba,
the Government of Hop. Thomas
Greenway has been again' sustained.
In the last Legislature the Ministry
held 28 seats out of 38; in the new
House it would seem likely to stand 25
Government to 13 Opposition. Hon. J.
A. Smart, Provincial Treasurer, has
fallen in Brandon, whilst R. P. Roblin,
Leader of the Opposition, is defeated in
Killarney. Hon. S. Jackson, the
Speaker of the late House, is also bea-
ten. All the three divisions of Win-
nipeg have declared for Mr Greenway.
The result, however, seems to show
that the advisability- of abolishing
separate schools in the Province has
found favor with the great majority of
the electorate. A test vote was also
taken on the question of prohibition, a
Itta e mrNjority declaring in favor Of it,
• e couitry and hlsbcrty o tttgeh
The Question of Prohibition.
The teat vote concerning pro hl
resulting so favorably in Manitoba, QU1,,
Saturday, has given heart arid courage*,
to prohibitionists all over the Domil'a'i
ion. That Mr. Greenway will now in
troducennd pass legislation along this
line, seems to be regarded as a foregone
conclusion. But it will not be smooth
sailing for some time, by any means.—
Just as soon as he passes a prohibitory
measure, those interested on the other
side will no doubt endeavor to block it
by testing in the courts his right to do
89. The Court of Appeal has decided
that the act passed by the Ontario Le-
gislature, allowing municipalities to
pass prohibitory by-laws is constitu-
tional; and a, similar law, which had
been in force in Quebec some time Pre-
vious to Confederation, has been up-
held., The prohibitionists argue that
the cOurts would declare that the Pro-
vincial Legislature can itself do that
which it may empower the municipali-
ties to do. The decisions so far only
touch the question of retail sale. The
right of Provincial Legislatures to for-
bid the manufacture of intoxicants is
in doubt, but it is clear that they can-
not stop their importation into a Pro-
vince. Liquors from other Provinces
must be admitted under the section of
the B. N. A. Act which provides for
free trade between the Provinces; and
importation from foreign countries is a
matter under the control:of the Federal
authorities. Those who are concerned
in the liquor traffic are able and willing
to spend a good deal of money in pro
tecting their interests, and we may ex-
pect that the constitutionality of the
proposed legislation will be tested in
theScourts. But even in view of all the
possible difficulties that may arise, the
advocates of prohibition in Ontario are
not likely to fold their arms and wait
until these difficulties are settled before
taking similar action here. That the
Ontario go vernmentavi I I shortly be ask -
ea to take a plebiscite. is more than like-
ly, and such a question entering into an
election campaign in a province as
populous as Ontario, would complicate
an election more than anything else has
done.
Manitoba is now a step in advance ofd this state of affairs willot be satisfactory to temper-
ers in this Province. We
Ontario, an
assuredly n
ance work
believe that a test vote would show
Ontario to be strongly in favor of pro-
hibition, aa
should not
people to take action, before it does.
Asked for his opinion on the general
phases of this guestion Mr J. J. Mac-
laren, Q. C., of Toronto a well-known
authority on constitutional questions,
expressed a belief that a law prohibit-
ing the sale of intoxicants in Manitoba
would be passed by the Legislature,and
that the decisions so far given indicate
that such a law would be upheld. The
Legislature, he said, could not forbid
importation from other Provinces, be-
cause of the section of the B.N.A. Act
providing for free interprovincial trade,
while importations from foreign coun-
tries must be dealt with by the Federal
authorities. The question of the right
to prohibit manufacture had never
come up squarely in the court. He be-
lieves that the courts would uphold the
prohibition of sales, both retail and
wholesale, though the right to prohibit
the wholesale trstde has not yet been
expressly given by any legal decision. -
In the case involving the constitution-
ality of the McCarthy Act, the Supreme
Court held that only those portions of
the act were valid which deal with
wholesale and vessel licenses, but the
Privy Council went further, and de-
clared that not only had the Province
exclusive jurisdiction over shop and
tavern licenses,but that it must control
vessel and wholesale licenses as well.
AS SEEN BY A CLINTONIAN.
Mr Israel Taylor, of the firm of Tay-
lor Sc Sons, Clinton, is, with his wife,
spending his holidays in Manitoba.
His impressions of that country may
be gathered from the following extract
of a letter written honie:---"I have not
written very freely my views on this
country and scarcely feel capable of
doing so, but the conclusions that I
have arrived at are that if either a
farmer or business man is doing fairly
well in Ontario, they had better stay
there. for as far as the farmers in this
country are concerned they have to
put up with more hardships and incon-
veniences than we have any airms of;
there is such danger of hail storms
and frosts, that they are never sure of
getting a crop. I took dinner with a
very nice family near Boissevain last
week; they came from near Belleville,
have been here live years, and are two
thousand dollars worse off now than
when they came to this country. Last
year they had a good crop (an excep-
tion) but the season was so late and
the winter came on so quick that they
could not get all the harvest in, and
could not get it threshed until this
spring, as it is impossible to thresh in
the cold weather, and now he can only
get from twelve to thirty cents a.
bushel for his mdoma. He is owing a
lot of bills and needs the money, but is.
discouraged at the thought of having
to sell at these prices. They would
sell out any time and go back to On-
tario, and this is not a single instance
by any means. Althorgh, if I was a
young man or a man with a large
family and limited means, I would
come to this country and take chances
in southern Manitoba or further west,
but I should have to make up my
mind to undergo a good deal of hard-
ship and take chances on a very un-
certain crop, and then the pr ices charg-
ed for goods in the country stores (like
)Winnedosa) is am -nothing frightfid in
every line. The business men's excuse
is that they have to give so much
credit and lose so much tbat they have
to have such big profits to carry the
heav.y risk, so that business is carried
on in a very unsatisfactory way.
Plenty of the business men have from
to fifteen rthousand dollars on
