The Two Sides.
Any habitual reader of the Par-
liamentary debates cannot fail to
be struck with the 'superior debit-
ing ability of the Opposition idcom-
parison with their opponents. If it
were possible for a man to daily read
the iroceedings• of the House, we' care
not' from what report, without being
acquainted with the condition of
parties and the characteristics of par-
ty leacters, he could not but be as-
tonished upon referring to the-divi,
sion lists; To rtad the reports of
the discussions which have takeu
place doling. the present sessien on
any of the leading questions_ under
dispute, and then find' the govern-
ment, supported by a majonty of
from twenty five to drill ty, shonld
certainly surprise - the -uninitiated.
On the Opposition side there is an
array of debating talent, the superis
or of which can scarceiy be found
in a, legielative body in any country.
Messrs. Mackenzie, Blake,- Holton,
Dorion, Anglin, Mills, Young,_ Hun-
tington and E. B. Wood are men
whose superior abilities are acknowl-
edged by anprej ucliced persons of both
political patties, while clese on these
follow Messrs. Oliver, Ross (Middle-
sex,) D. A. Macdonald, Ry -
mal, Wilkes, Kerr, George porion
arid nianyAnhers who have taken an
active and prominentpart in the dis-
caasions of the ?resent* session.
While on the'other side, take ate/ay
Sir John Macdonald, Dr. Tupper,
‘T. Cameron, -James McDonald
and Sir Francis Hincka, and there
is almost nothing left bit a parcel
of voting machines. With 'the ex- -
ceptions mentioned, the names of
the other members on the Govern-
naent side scarcely ever appear ex-
cept in the division lists. But the
gentletnee we have named on the
Government side, if we except Sir
John, althcaigh nil politicians of
long experience and standing, in
point of debating agility, cannot be
compared with any :of the leading
members of the Opposition. This,
to the candid reader of' the debates,
does. not need demonstration. •
Such being the case, wherein lies
the strength of the Government?
Ho w' comes it thattliei are uniform-
ly supported by so largo majorities?
This can be accounted fot
by two reasons. Take from the
Governoient the services. of the
clear head, the schenaing and tricky
imagination, and unscrupulous cun-
ning of Sir John Macdonald, and
the wilole fabric would crumble to
atoms in a week, or, deprive it of
the unlimited control of public
money which it BOW enjoys, and its
destruction would be equally speedy
and certain. These are the great
bulwarks of strength which keep
the Ottawa Government from ruin
and decay. Remove either of these,
and the whole superstructure- is de-
stroyed. It is these two influences
vehieh wither and cement the many
discordant elements which compose
the Government partiin the present
-House into one solid and immov-
able 1:A111411X_ _
NOtWit,I1Staildin the. many, con-
fident predictions that the over-
throw of the present Government
could be'aceomplishecr this session,
we have long been of the opinion
that such predictions were erfone-
ons. Place in power a. Government
with an unscrupulous chief to guide
is„ and allow. hitt/ an itimostunlimit-
ed control" of money, and the de-
struction of such a Government is a
task whieh is aleaost impossible of
accoreplislcinent. The 'position of
the ° present Government proves
the truth of this. Their leader
is unscrupulous enough, goodness
kno-we, and, unfortunetely; he has
control of sufficient public funds
to buy a support which will allow
his G6yernment to live at least dur-
'-ing the present Parliament, nnless
some special Providence should in-
tervene to prevent it. The free
and corrupt use of this money is
the key to the mystery of the Gov-
ernment's majorities. That the
present Government have -received
their majorities of this session. by the
use of money, no candid person
who has carefully ',watched the pro-_
ceedings can honestly deny. It is
lamentable to think that men elected =
torepresent the iaterests of the gen-
eral people should be thus swayed.
But we cannot deny that such the
fact. • When we see men, day after

ciple of justice, as welt as of the

daring to utter one syllable in de-
fenc.te of their conduct, we are very'
apt to stippose they do not so act for
nothing. But when ive• see large
grants'of public money awarded by
the Government to the constit-
uencies of members who have thus
supported them, and. witheld from
constituencies the representatives of
which have opposed them, although
equally, or more rightfully,' enti-
tled to it, are ••we not justified in
saying . that the silent support of
which -we have Made teention 11118

Government have" thus acted; the
estiniates passed this session afford
but too evident proof. Worse. even
than this, when see nearly the en-
tire representation of several Prov-
inces at the coin mencent of a session,

Government, and, when weliee their

BIGGER PAY ALL ROUND.
Since my last, Sir John has introduced
his measure increasing the salaries of
Lieutenant -Governors, Judges, Members,
and Civil Servants. it was wonderful to
witness the cordiality with which this
measure was received by ;members gener-
ally. Some did gently kick against the
raise in the salaries of Lieutenant -Gover-
nors and the increased indemnity to
members and one antiquated. individual
even had courage to suggest that if
Lieutenant Governorwould indulge in
less show, and live more like rational
and ordinary beings. they might get along,
very comfortable on -their present allow-
-ance of $8,000 per annum. I dare say
some of your readers will be very apt -to
agree with the ideas of this member. The
position of Lieutenant -Governor is n�
doubt, a very exalted one, but a salary
of $10,000 per annum seems to Ike to be
fully up to the mark, and perhaps some-
thing over it. . However, if we must have
style, we must expect to have to pay
for it It must not be thought for one
moment that our Government are sa self-
sacrificing and so self -forgetful as to neg-
lect themselves in the general increase of
pay. The Government, as every one
knows, is composed of a number of ex-
ceedingly modest, self-sacrificing and
backward gentlem.en, consequently they.
could never think of such a thing as pro-
posing an increase of stipend. for them-
selves. Their modesty, however, has not
been unrewarded. During the discus-
sion of the measure increasing the pay of
the others, two or three very ardent ad-
mirers and warm-hearted supporters of
the gentlemen who occupy the
Treasury Benches, strongly urged that
the pay of the members of Government
should also be increased. Sir John prom-
iserd; that the matter 'should be taken
into consideration, and that .a resolution
would. be introdiried concerning the sal-
aries of Ministers of the Crown.

John Stuart Mill.
The world has lost one of its foremost
thinkers and strongest minds, by the
death of John Stuart Mill. The first in-
telligence of his death at Avignon,
France, reached 'London, England, at
two o'clock on, Friday last. No scholar,
no man who aspires to the reputation of
being "well read," has failed to become
familiar with the works of Jelin Stuart
Mill. There is not a political -or social
question of importance which. he has not
!discussed, and. he never touched a .sub-
ject that he did not* infuse it with new
interest and stamp it with the impress
of fresh thought. It is but a few weeks
ago that he adcliessed h large. audience in
Englead upon the subject, of Lantl Re-
form. In all each practical questions he
took the deepest interest', and when he
expressed bis views and opinions they
were eagerly listened to by intelligent
people the world over, even though the
topic discussed seemed to have a local or
national bearing only.
John Stuart Mill, was born in London
mettle 20th of May! 1806, He was edu-
cated at home by his father. ln 1820 he
went to France, where he lived. for up-
wards of a year, making himself master
of.the French language, and occasionally
attending public lectures on science. He
lived for some time in Paris, in the hofise
of the French economist,' Jean Baptiete
Say, where -he -made .the acquiiintance of -
