I ,
we, dare Mty, will not be very pleasant
or palatelible to those who feast and
thrive upon this bounty-. But, , that it
is a correct statement of the position,
none caa truthfully deny., _
If the Senate, as at present consti-
tuted, were of any prectieal nee or ser-
vice to the country, the expense ' of its
maintenance, although it should be a
great deal less than it is! might be
peaceably borne, and the people would
not be subject to the charge of foolish-
-tress for permitting its continuance.
But when it is absolutely worthless- for
geverament it is simply unaccountable
that the people will continue to rest
cententedly under the infliction. It. is
•elaimed that the Senate is a check upon
hasty legislation by the popular' body.
This, however,is a false assumption,
and never was it more clearly proven to
be so than during the session which
defied on Friday list. To prove •this
we need cite but two instances. In the
early part of the session the •Honse of
Commons by a large majority Jpassed a
measure making secluction,under certain
circumstances, a. crime punishable b3
fine or imprisonment. This meastire
was carefully and critically considered
'by the members of the popular body
for at least two sessions, and more than
once was referred back to committee
for amendment and iniprovement. It
was no hasty legislatior., but was de-
liberately passed upon by the people's
representatives, and was coasidered by
them a needed and useful law, and
there was no doubt as to its constitu-
tionality. This measure was submitted
to the Senate for its approval. Withll
out any proper consideration, or with-
out even permitting it to come up opera
ly for discussion, a majority of the
members voted totkill it in committee.
Here is a measure demanded by the
coantry,carefully.considered and finally
adopted, and made law so far as their
powers went, by the people's represen-
tatives, smothered and baulked by an
irresponsib'e body of men 'Isht?
are in no way responsible to the people.
They have thus shown themselves to be
a check upon legislation, but in this in-
stance it was not hasty legislation. We

letion which may fairly be termed hasty.
During the closing days of the session a
measure was introduced into the Com-
!
mons, at the instance of the Govern-
ment, for the regulation of the liquor
traffic within the Dominion. It Was a
very tlengthy, intricate and most' im-
portant measure. /It Was introduced at
the close ofeeverY lengthy and weary -
s ce seasion, after many membets had
,
left for their homes. To properly con-
sider, weigh and discuss itavarious pro-
visions would take weeks. But the Bill
was distributed among the members
and its consideration commenced the
SaDie day, and in two days thereafter,
it had been put through all its Va i0118 .
Commons. So that it can not be said
1
stages and was finally passed by the Com
that it received proper consideratioiilby
the House, but Was actually fo ced
through by the Government; and ati the
very best can only be classed as hasty
and immaturedegislation. And, inoree
—of the ' ea -
it
over, there does exist the gravest do bts
as to the constitutioaality
sure or the power of the Legislature to
legally pass it. Now let us see in what
manner this Bill was received by thp
Senate. It was submitted to them Mr
their approval on the very last day cif
their session and they were not Sven
furnished with the Bill as it was d
amen-
, e
ed by the Commons, but just as it cemo
from the committee, end at ore single
1 l
sitting of about three hours they pet it
through the whole of its stages. It is
not too much to say 010 at most, a ma-
jority of the members of the Senate
could not read the Bill through in that
time, even if each one stuck at it with-
out removing his spectacles from:his
nose from the commencement to the
close. In fact so much ashamed was
one of the members that he was ?on.
strained to say that the whole proceed-
ing was a disgraceful farce, and it tsPies '
something a good deal out of the erdi-
nary to shame a Senator. , This sheave
what kind of a check the Senate is up-
on hasty legislation. But, the reason
, for their action must also be given. it
must be remembered that the Sequel -
tion Bill was introduced into the Com-
mons by a Reform member, and it wee'
bitterly opposed by SirJohn Macdonald.
But, although he has a majbrity of two
to one in the House, so strong is the de-
mand for it in the - country, that he
could not induce his followers to go witle
him on this measure, and censequertly
he could not secure its &Zeit in the
,
popular chamber. But he could, and
he did, use his tools in the Seieate, who
are independent Of the people, to dekat
a measure. which his followers in the
Commons dare ribt vote against. The-
_
License Bill, however, was entieely .
different from this. _ It was intreducea
and ,passea at the instance of Sir John
Macdonald. He desired it to become
law and at once. This being the caae,
the Senators were quite willing to overr
look all inforrnalitiee and/ irregularities
•in -order that they might accommodate?
the man to whom they are indebted for
the soft snap they now enjoy. In fa-
it is useful,and only useful as a registrar
of the will of Sir John Macdonald. It
is even more partizait than the 1101180
of Commons, and la not in any respect,
wht it is claimed to be, a check upon
al
hasty legislation. If, therefore, the
people wish to bear the burden of main-
taining an asylum for worn out and
decrepit political hacks, and furnish
them as well with liberal pay and high
living, simply that they may act as the
pliant taols of one'man when occasion
requires, they have a perfect right to
do so. The majority must rule and the
minority must grin and bear the inflic-
tion, but the majority are mighty foolish
for doing so all the Berne. It would be
much better for the people to force these
political paupers to support themselves
or go to some properly constituted poor
house, and enjoy for 'their own use a
portion of the luxuries which they now
supply so lavishly, to taenet '-
ae
'Tem Dominion License Bill can be
better criticised after we have ,it as it
comes from the Senate. But whatever
it may prove to be when finally passed,
the impression will still prevail that it
would have been better had • the Op-
position members at first named on the
committee at once undertakeu their
share of work and responsibility in the
premises. Had they done so, there
would have been no opportunity for the
talk about "Star Chamber" procedure
which has been indulged in. We feel
quite sure that, after timeto review the
whole business, it will be the judge-
ment of the public that the Opposition
would have better acquitted themse yes
had they taken that active share in the
work whi3h they were invited to take.
The above is from the Toronto World.

For some time our sprightly contem-
porary has been striving to get upon
the top of the political fence, and at

so, like most other journals and poli-
ticians similarly situated, it is forced to
go through some strange, and what

his leg wbile working at John Mooney's
new house in Morris. Both bones were

— One day last week Mr.Chas. Harris,

of bis mares. The door into the ste.ble
is made of half doors and the animal in
her endeavor to elude capture attempted
_ to jump over the lower half door, when

of the stable and fell senseless to the
floor, and died soon after. •

—The other morning a large vvilacat
was discovered in a baan neat Leeburn,
in the township of Colborne. The
party who saw iteat once went to the
house for a gun. In the meantime the
terror of the forest made its exit over
the geanary through the sheep pen, nd
took to the Woods. Several s ots
were fixed by the parsneawoanding im
a little in his flight. Since then nothing
has been heard of him. .
---The Sarnia Observer says: The
threeheaded woman advertised to 3 be
exhibited at the circns on Monday vas
—an illusion. Within an enclos re
formed by curtains stood a one -he ed
female of pleasing appearance. By
mean e of ingetaionsly placed mirrors a
head similar in design to her own was
placed on eitaler shoulder, completing
the advertised phenomena. This fraud
is equal te Barnum's cherry -colored
bat. ,---
-The Toronto World says :—" A
number of circulars have been received
in Montreal and in other parts of Calla --
da, offering a thousand dollars in
counterfeit bills for a hundred dollars
in gaenuine money. The ciacialars are
postmarked Carlow, Ont. It should
not be very difficult to find the person
tn this little West Huron village, who
is using the post for this purpose.
Officials, however, move slowly, and it
is to be hoped nobody will be fool and
knave enough to send these villains a
hundred dollars or any part of it.
One day last week Mr. T. Watson,
merchant of Blyth, missed some goods
out of his store,and his suspicions restiag
upon certain parties, he securea•
the services of the Chief, and repaired
to a h3use occupied by &family named
Nesbitt, coneisting of five daughters,one
son and the mother, where he succeeded
in ascertaining that they had in their
possession three pairs of shoes and
nineteen yards of print, which he had
no trouble in identifying as his property.,
A settlement was effected, and the
parties allowed to go scot free.

—The Enterprise remarks : If the
road leading from Gorrie to Listowel
gravel road was properly gravelled
thousands of dollars worth of Howick
produce would find its market in the
township, which now seeks an outlet in
adjoining counties. Just as high prices
are paid in Gorrie as in the surrounding
towneabut the bad state of the "roads
leading to Howick villages make Listo-
wel and other outside towns far more
desirable markets. With a little more
public spirit and energy on the part of
our business men this could soon be
changed, and Gorrie_ would then be
able to take its proper place among the
flourishing towns of the neighborhood.

Tim QUEEN'S BIRTHDAY.— Tbe 64th
birthday of Her Majesty, the Queen,
Was celebrated here by holding the
usual athletic sports, &c. The Sepoy
Lacrosse club arrived by the early
train for the purpose of playing a
friendly game, if such can be said of
such a game, with our boys. Time
was called and the ball faced at 9 a.
m.. on Victoria Square. The Sepoys
won three straight games after some
vee/ hard work; time 50, 23 and 15
minutes, respectively. No very fine
play was exhibited on either side, the
play being tnore like "shinny." The
base ball match did not come off, as
none of the neighboring clubs seemed
to want to try their metal with our
Clipper Base Ball Club, as we boast
that they are good, although our la-
crosse boys do get heatten. The athletic
