IIe finds now that if he waited till January he could not count on a majority at all. On the contrary the Liberals would be in a minority. If the law of the land were allowed to take its course Mr. llardy's so-called majority would vanish before the customery date for calling the Legislature. Mr. hardy has been advised that constables are not legally qualified to vote. A decision from the courts to this effect would take eight seats from the Liberals, making a differ,. ence of 16 on a vote. Such a turnover would involve the annihilation of the hardy Government. Independently of the constable question the Govern- ment apprehends the loss of several seats through bribery and corruption. Under normal conditions tate Govern- ment could not hang together till Jan- uary. lIence this'sudden run to cover. Hence this turning of the guns on Osgoode Castle. llence the trepida- tion and alarm and veritable insanity that has beset the Provincial Grits. Such, then, is the Government's plight. It cannot wait till January to convene the Legislature. If it did wait till that date its first action would be the placing of its resignation with the Lieutenant -Governor. The question naturally arises whether Mr. Hardy can save his skin by summoning the Assembly on Aug, 3. Can he silence the courts? Can he legislate himself into power ? Mr. Hardy may try the Cromwell act, but he cannot do the trick. Ile has adopted a crazy expedi- ent to keep himaelt afloat. In order to live he has decided first to commit suicide. For what can be more suicidal than this attempt to throttle justice ? Few precedents can be found for re- troactive legislation. It must be some extraordinary condition of affairs that will warrant the usurpation by the Government of the functions of the cited b Mr. Theprecedent courts. 1 h Y Hardy is far from being a parallel ease. On the contrary, it furnishes a warning for him to desist from his madness. The precedent referred to in the Do- minion Parliament was adopted by the unanimous vote of Parliament. Mr. Hardy himself states "that the bill pass- ed through the house with the unani- mous consent of both political parties, who looked upon it as an act of justioe." When Mr. hardy brings down his pro- posed bill to usurp the power of the judges he will find that it will be oppos- ed by half the Legislature at least, as being an act of injustice. Herein is Mr. Hardy's proposed bill diametrically op- posite in principle to the one proposed by Sir John Macdonald and adopted by the House with unanimity. Mr. Hardy will search the authorities in vain for a precedent to warrant a political party legislating itself into power or usurping the functions of the judiciary. During the progress of a war civil law is frequently set aside and martial rule substituted in its place. The serious condition of affairs and the public wel- fare warrant such a radical departure from the ordinary custom. What bas Mr. hardy to justify his proposed usurpation of the civil law ? \Vhat, in- deed? Simply that a band of public plunderers may divide the spoils lof office between themselves for a few months longer. Simply that a mori- bund Government, discredited by the people, may hang on to office and enjoy the fruits of corruption and jobbery. The public welfare might justify an in- terference with the courts to kick a corrupt Government out of office, but nothing can justify such interference to retain such a gang in power, especial- ly when the country has emphatically declared against them. Mr. Hardy will declare martial law to keep him- self and his discredited companions in power I Corruption and audacity can go no further. This is surely the on- coming of the death struggle. -Toronto World. Mr. Hardy's Government was de- feated at the polls by the free and uns purchased vote of the electorate. It has been saved so far, owing to the fact that certain of his supporters have gained majorities by paying voters with public money to act as election constables. The votes of these election constables are Illegal. Application has been made to the courts to have them struck out, just as any other illegal or corrupt votes would be disallowed. The Legislature has been summoned, the illegally elected politicians have been palled to meet on August 3, and to pass a law peremptorily taking tgbe question from the courts, legalizing the illegal votes, and awarding the seats illegally held to the politicians who now have them, but wore never elected to them. This is an appeal from the courts of law to the amen against whom action has been taken. The defendant, who is not legally a legislator, is to act as such, and try his own case. - If a more impudent attempt to steal a Legislature was ever made, we should lilce to hear of it. While Mr. Ifardy is about it he may as well push a statute through deolar- TIE CLINTON NEWS -RECORD. 5 sorts r'riekery SESSION TO LECAL- L ACTS Supporters arl a1 Their Seats at corrupt practices by his friends al, and that Messrs.

With the full text of Mr. llardy's "reasons" before us, there can be no shadow o1' doubt as to the real ob- ject of the course adopted. The "reas- ons" pretty well take up a page of the Globe ; and, while there are three of them given, two of them could easily be put in less than two-thirds of a column. I'he other one, however, ultilizes the rest of the space, marching up and down the columns to an impressive length. This one is the advisability of' dealing at once with the question raised as to the right of election constables to vote. '1'he other two reasons are simply stated ; but the Premier goes into a pro- found legal argument in the third case, quoting judicial decisions and referring to precedents. Plainly the chief work of the new Legislature will be to lega- lize the votesof the election constables cast at the last elections before the courts can possibly unseat any good Liberals by ruling the ballots of these officials out. One at least of the other "reasons" is, however, worth considering. Mr. Hardy points out that 63 protests have been entered against the election of members to the present Legislature; and express the fear that the trials of these petitions cannot be all got over with and the probable by-elections caused thereby held in time to enable the Legislature to tweet before January 1Gtli next -the date beyond which the calling of the next session cannot be le- gally delayed. 1-43 to avoid this calami- ty the Legislature is to meet in special session -and legalize a nnmber of Grit One Woman's Word ..

Bub rath- er than take this simple path out of the difficulty, the Government callstogeth- er h - er this Legislature,more than two- thirds of whose members are formally accused of winning their elections by corrupt practices, to interpret the law respecting a class of doubtful votes at these very elections. What an impar- tial and judicial opinion on the point will that Grit member give who knows that if it is decided that these consta- bles dial not have the right to vote, he will infallibly be unseated at the elec- .tion trial which awaits him after proro- gation or during recess ? The fact that an extraordinary num, berof the members of a House ,are ac• cased of corrupt practices, seems a peculiar reason to give for calling that House together in haste before it can be purified by the courts. 11 would be a, far better reason for delaying a seas sion until the judges should administer justice. But the indecency of the thing is greatly aggravated when it is confessed that the purpose in calling this tainted Legislature together in hot haste is to give it an opportunity to legalize its own election before the courts own possibly speak. -Montreal Star. It seems a deplorable business for a Government which is banging on by the skin of its teeth after a practical rear huff by the people'to- attempt to inter- fere with the settlement by the courts of the legal status of poll constables. If the courts decide that constables have a right to vote, well and good ; ever on e should cheerfully accept the decision. But that members of the Legislature whoae own seats depend on such ballots should give the casting votes to forestall and possibly override the decision of the courts, ought surely to be repugnant to a majority of the people. -Ottawa Evening Journal.
