with many other Reformers, are
pleasedto acknowledge, that during
the present session of Parliament no
fault could be found with Mr.
Cameron's political course, but one

nor does one correct session. make a

which one of the Ridings -Mr. Camer-

what a mighty man this Mr. Career -

in-
form us through his organ which
Riding he will honor by allowing
the 'voters thereof_ to eleet him as
their representative. Until such
time its this intormation is voucn-
safed by this 'mighty personage, we
must take off our hats, get upon our
knees, and wait with our heads
bowed in the dust- of humiliation.
What is our country coming to'?
We trust our contemporary will al-

such _a suggestion may be considered
impertinent when made for the bene-

devoutly to worship—wOuld it not
be well for Mr.. Carneronb to wait
until he is askea to staud for either
of the constituencies, before he
plumes himself with the assurance
that all the three will beg for the
favor of his services as their repres-
entative
We have heard it stated, that Mr.
Cameron has expressed it to be his
intention to contest the Centre
Riding.- If this statement be true,
we would inform him, before he
goes further, that he may save him-
self the trouble. His services are
not wanted nor required fur the
Centre Riding. The Reformers of
the Centre Riding are in a position
to elect ei man in whose honesty and
integfity they have •unbounded con-
fidence. That they will do this we
have every assurance, but we are
equally assured that that man is not

Death of two Members of Par-

On Saturday last John Sandfielcl
Macdonald and Robert MacFarlane,
two members of the Houee of Com-
mons, were removed by the hand of"
death. The death of Mr. Macclon-
.41 was not unexpected, ai he had
been ill for several weeks, and the
daily papers had announced that.
his physician pronounced, *his re-
sovery hopeless. On the first page
of this paper will be found a sketch
' of the career of the late Mr.' Mac-
donald, with the estimates formed of
his character and political services
the by men writing anaspea,kingfrorn
most opposite political. standpoints.
It is worthy to note that all 'agree'
the ccuntry has sustained a loss in
his death-; that during his long po-
litical life he rendered great and, im-
portant services, add that his course,
whether right or wrong, was always
prompted -by the mostemselfish pai-
triotigair.
Mr. MacFarlane died quite sud-
• denly, at Ottawa, where he was . at-
- tending to his duties as a member
• of the House of Commons. He had
• been unwell for several days,but it
• was not thought his illness was of
a serious nature. Mr. MacFarlane
was born in the county of Lanark,
and was about 38 years ot age. He
• began to be prominently identified
- with public affairs about ten years
' ago, when the. late Mr. Foley was
returned for the county of Perth in
opposition to Mr. Daly. Mr. Mac-
• Farlene took a prominent part in
• this contest, and when Mr. Foley
• resigned hiseseat for Perth to retain
• that for North Waterloo, he was se-
lected as the standard-bearer of the
Reform parey. In this election he
was defeated by a small majority,
but the following year, en the _dis-
• solution. of Parliament, he was twain
• a candidate, and was succes.sbful.
From that time -until Copfeleration,
Mr. • MacFarlane represented Perth,

South Riding—Goderich town-
ship, Stanley, Hay, Stephen_ and
Usborne.
-• By reference to the map, it will
be seen, that so far as eonveeien.ce,
the principal object wliich should be
sought, is conoerned, a worse divi-
sion could scarcely be conceived.
True, nohe of the municipalities are'
entirely isolated, but, for the matter
of cariVenience, they might as well
be. Take either Of the-- clenstitu-
&Kees, and, uponexamination it
will be foetid, that from one end to the
other, the distance is not less than
from forty to forty-five miles, where-
as three constituencies could have
been'formed, none of evhich would
have been greatly over twenty nailes
square . To 'fully show the .utter
.absurdity of the division which has
been made,itis only necessary to
give one or two instances. By
what' mode of reasoi:Ag can the
Government justify the placing of
the town of Godetich and the town-
ship of Grey in one constituency,
and the township of Morris; which
'lies _between them, in a different
oonetituency-7 Or the township of
Goderich and the towr.ship of
Usborne in one, while the township
of Colborne, which , borders on
Goderich,and the township of Tuck-
ersmith, whichborderson Usborne,
is 'placed in auother constituency 7
The fact_is, such a division is too
scandalous to be tolerated, and
would never have been dreamed of
except as a stratagem to gain
strength for a political party.
The Only ground upon which the
fraraers of this division attempt to
justify it is upon that of equality of
population. For example, in the
North Riding, the population is
21,862; 'in the Centre, 22,791 ;:and
in the South, 21,512. This, how-
ever, is a. very rotten prop with
which to support the ill-construated.
scheme. Many divisions could be
made which Would give as perfect
equality of population, and infinite-
.
ly greater compactness. But, aside
from.this, egaality of populatioa is
.by no means the 'sole object to be
attaiiied. Convenience of -location
should be the first and most im-
portant consideration. This, • un-
fortunately, has been -entirely lost
sight. of, and a political division
effected, merely for the sake of par-
ty eain:

Ontario is entitled to six represen-
tatives. Its increased population
entitles it to this increased repre-
sentation. Three of these re pre-

constituencies, and three to city -con-

eities of Toronto, Hamilton, and
Ottawa are each to have an arldi-

remaining portion of the Province -
will have to be content with but an
addition of three. Thus making the
interests of these three cities equal
to the intereste of the whole of the

To say that the city of Ottawa is to
be favored with an additional repre-
sentative, --while the large. and
populous counties of, Bruce, Perth,
and others, are allowed to remain as
they are, is surely sufficient to con-

From
The n
for • the Do
tionale question is every day be
coming more anifesta Constitu-
tional questions are continually be-
ing discussed in the House,
and doubte are constantly be-
ing raised as to the respective
jurisdiction, of the Dominion and
the Local Legislatures. . A case
in point was a bill proposed the
other day by Col. Gray. of New
Brunswick, "to do justice to the
bondleiilders of the Houlton Branch
Railway." Thie line extends from
New Brunswick into the State of
O Maine. The Company was original-
ly chartered by the old Legislature
of New- Brunswick; but since Con-
federation the Local Legislature
passed an .Act authorizing the town
of St. Stephen, N. B., to aid • the
undertaking by bonds of the muni-
cipality. Bonds were accordingly
issued under this Act, but the
matter being brought before a Nevi-
Brnnswick court, it was decided that
the Act was unconstitutional and
that therefore the bonds were
in-
valid; and the object of the pres-
ent _bill was to render them valid.
The Court tteek the ground that as
the roacl connected with another in
a foreign country, oi rather extend-
ed into a foreign country, it was be-
yond the jurisdiction of the Local
Legislatureeland that body had no
authority to authorize aid to a Dom-
• inion work. This judgment was
severely commented upon by some
members, and the general opinion of
the House seemed to be that it was
unsound. The Premier himself in-.
cline(' to the opinion that the act
constitutional, but asked to have
the final etage of the bill delayed,
till he could give a mote definite
opinion. It was pointed out, how-
ever, in the course of the discussiOn,
that if the judgment of the New
Brunswick Court was correct,' much
of the railway legislation of Ontario -
was unconstitutional. In connec-
tion with this subject, mention may
be made of a conversation that took
place yesterday in, the railway Com-
mittee in which the Premier gave
his views on a question of jurisdic-
tion of some practice' importamie.
There is no doubt that a Local
Legislature has power to extend a
railway to the provin.ce line. Suppos-
ing then a railWay with a provincial
charter comes to the Dominion. Par-
liament and -receives power to ex-
tend its operations beyond the Pre-
vince. The corupany then has two
separate corporate existences—one
derived frora the Local, and the
other from the general Legislature,
and each under different systems of
inspection and regulation. Of course
this would be very inconvenient, and
it was suggested by the Premiei that
when a Company holding a Provin-
cial charter seeks flora the Dominion
Parliament more extensive powees,
such powers be only granted upon
the condition that the whole work
bec;onies a Dominion work, and the
Company from one end or its line to
the other comes under Dominion

discussed in all its details. As the
good faith of the country is pledged
to the construction of the road, the
opposition was mainly directed to-
wards maintaining Parliamentary
control over the Executive in the
performance of the work. First,
an attempt was meche to have any
contracts entered into with the Com-
pany 'subject to the ratification of
Parliament, but that was rejectect.
Then it was proposed to lea-ve to
Parliament some voice in the selec-
tion of the route. This was reject-

it determined at any rate that the
line should run south and west of
Lake Nipissing, instead of east and
north of it, which would place it
some 60 miles further away from the
railway system. of Ontario. This
was rejected. The Government
agreed to fix the eastern terminus at
some point on the south of the lake,
but it is understood they will run
the line up the eastern side, thence
by the north to the Pacific. A

will be made to slairlr the Pacific

The Representation Bill --- An
• Outrage. •
The late decennial census has been
pronounced by all,classes • of the
community,—by Reformer and Con-
servative alike, --to be ineorrect, in-
accurate, and all but valueless for
the purpose for which it, was taken. -
The Bill which was, on Friday hist,
introduced into Parliament by Sir
John A. Macdonald, and which has
been founded upon this census, may,
• with equal truth, be pronounced an
abominable swindle. In `order to
prove this, it is only necessary to
refer to the re -distribution and divi-
O sions which have been made in this
COunty.. A short time ago, we
• stated that ata meeting of the Con-
servatives of the County, a division
had been decided upon, and had
been recommended 'to the Govern-
ment: We then stated that that
proposed division was so outrageous-
ly unjust, and would, if effected, be
so. inconvenient that it would not
• meet with the approval of even many
• of the leading Conservatives of the
•County ; that, in fact, a glinee at
the map of the County would con-
• vince the Government of the in-
justice of such a division, and deter
them from carrying it into effect,
even tholigh it would strengthen_
their position in the County. -In

Government might pay back .this
million dollars to the Company at
any time' • but after the debate they
agreed that it should be held by
Government until otherwise ordered
by Parliament. Then Mr. - Mac-
kenzie attempted to introduce a
provision to leave Parliament')
free at any future time to place
whatever price it pleased upon the
wild lands of the West or to estab-
lish the Free Grant system. This
was rejected. Then an attempt was
made to provide that the dispesal of
the thirty millions of money, and
the fifty Million acres of land shall
be made froni time to time as re-
quired by an annual vote of Parlia-
ment. , This was rejected. In fact
Parlianient completely abdicated its
proper constitutional control over
this great enterprise, leaving the
whole thing in the hands of the
Government of the day. One pro-
position from the Opposition was
agreed to, and that was to limit the
frontage of the blccks of land along
the railway. The blocks are to have
• a frontage of. either • six or twelve
miles, six miles square being the
size of a township. Each block
belonging to the Company on one
side of the railway is to be directly
9ppoaite the block reserved to the
Government on the other side, and
the other lauds not lying 'along the
railway are to be laid out in the
same way. The bill is fixed for a
third reiding to -day, and will, of
course, pass in its present shape.
• The New Biunswick school ques-
tion excited a good deal of warmth
of feeling and some irritation. The
facts of the case are these. The
New 'Brunswick Legislature last
session pissed an act establishing free
.
non-sectalian schools, and shutting
off all other schools from public aid.
The Catholic portion of the province
protested against this act as a viola-
tion of the constitution which pre-
vents the religious majority in each
province from infringing upon anY
rights or privilege which the minori-
ty enjoyed by lew at the Union.
They appealed to the Minister of
J ustice to disallow the act.- He
declined to interfere, on the ground
that deraoninational schools were
not established by law at the Union
in New Brunawick, and that there-
fore the refusal of the Legislature to
grant aid to demoninationaI schools
was not a violation of the constitu-
tion. The Catholics appealed from
• the Governraent to the House, eand
one of their number, Mr. Costigan,
introduced a resolution declaring
• that the act should. be <disallowed.
This proposition caused inteeise in-
dignation among the • Protestants
of New Brunswick, while on the
other hand, the French supporters
of the Government were disposed to
vote for it. This placed the Gov-
ernment in a position of great ern-
barrassinent Meantime Col. Gray
had proposed an araenchnent against
interference with Local LegisIa-
den in this. matter. The Govern-
ment were afraid to take a vote on
this proposition, so they drew up
an amendment to the amendment
proposing to apply to the Imperial
Parliament for an amendment to
the constitution which would secure
to the Catholics of New Brunswick
• a.nd Nova Scotia all the rights, ad-
vantages and privileges in the mat-
ter of schools which. they enjoyed at
the Union. It is to be remembered
here that. while demoninational
schools were not established by law
in New Brunswick at that time
they practically'existed and receiv-
ed pu.blic aid. This proposition
was equally disatisfa.ctoiy to the
Protestants of New Brunswick, and
Government soon discovered that if
they persisted in it they would turn
a large majority of that province
against them. The amendment,
-however, had been placed in Mr.
Chauveau's hands and by him pro-
• posed to the House. After some
days' delay the New Brunswick
members drew up an amendment
which the Government were com-
pelled to accept. This amendment
• expressed a regret that dissatisfaction
should have been caused by the
school act, and a hope that at the
next meeting of the Legislature, the
• injustice of which the Catholics com-
plain would be removed. As, how-
ever, a third amendment cannot be
proposed, the difficulty was how to
get iid of Mr. Chs.uveau'Is amend-
ment Government were obliged to
announce through a friendly mem-
ber that this last proposition would
Pacific line from the north of Lake be made provided Mr. Chauveau's
amendment was . disposed of,
and that they would support it.
Mr. Chaerveau's amendment was
therefore voted down, and Mr. Col-
by moved the other proposition. Tip
to this time the Opposition had said
little on the subject; but now Mr.
Blake rose, and made a masterly
speech on constitutional aspects of
the question. He showed in the
• first place that -while denomination-
al schools -were not established by
law in New Brunswick at the union,
denominational teaching was clearly
legalized, and therefore the Catholics
had good ground for cemplaint in
that denominational teaching was
now practically prohibited by lava

The • following paragraph, whieh
we quote, from the Huron Signal of

impudeace. It reads as follows :
"As to Mr. Cameron, *e think he
would make the best representative that

our contemporary considers Mr:
Cameron the best representative that
can be got to represent any of the
three ridings, we presume he has a
peefect right to his opinion, but we
consider that we have an equal right
to ours, and that we have also a
right to express it. • We consider
that Mr. Cameron is not the best
