SEAFDRTH, FRIDAY, July 17th, 1903 '$e Retirement of Mr. Blair from The Dominion. Cabinet.--] The announcement . Was made from: Ot. taws, on Tuetday last, that Hon. A. G. Blair, Minister of Railways in the Dominion Cabinet,bad resigned his position in the Government.. The announcement o the "resignwti`on of so prominent a memberrf the Cabinet in the midst - of a cession, was a surprise to, most people, bat those in the inner political circles, se well as diose ob- servers from without; expected comet hang 'of this kind before, long; aItheugh it crane more` - quickly than they eepposed it would. ` The immediate cease of Mr; Blair's withdraw&I horn the Cabinet is said to be a difference of opinion from his colleagues on the railway policy of the Government,. more particular- ly ae it conoerna, the Grand Trunk. Pacific. Mrs. Blair is opposed to the construction of the new road from Quebec ' to Monckton, holding that it will parallel " the Interoolon- lel and will injure the prosper of 1 that toad, which has been upder -kis charge since hesssunied office, and in which he took a very great interest. He prefers rather, the eXteneion of the- Interoolonial to Winnipeg,. thus making it a part Of the transoonginen- tal road. The Government have deot ed to build the:new road, hence Mr. Blair's eeig- natiion.. This, however, we fancy, is'si ply the last straw, as it is well known.e_thet Mr• Blair has not been in full accord friFth ome of his eolleaguee ori other subjects- .for orae tinier. T Mr. Blair beoamela member of the La Government when ' assuod office, an held the important portfolio of Minist Railways ever since. He resigned Premiership of New Brunswick, a pea he had held for many years, to been member of the Doinlgfon Government, now represents the pity of St. Johns, hL defeated Hon. G. E. 3i'oeter in that cone eney all the last eleotion, by a majorit 975. He is a strong and popular m New Brunswick. It was largely thr his Induenee that in the last Provincial. Mons the Reformers carried the Provino. straight party lines, and that a strai Reform. Government is -now installed th although there had been a oo-clition. Gov ment in power for many years, an which Mr. Blair himself had long been head. He is also a man of exoepti ability,; else he would not have -held! fo. long. the high and important positions he cupied.' His devotion to principle, also evinced: by the fact that he now aband office and emolument rather than give consent to a' policy he believes to he eentr to the best interests of the country. notwithstanding his high ability 'and 'se of rectitude, he has his failings,and they seriousonee for a person (volleying the p tion he did. He is very conservative in views, and cannot/ recanoile himeekf to f ' more.demon—ticideas of his younger o , leagues. " He is a product of the eastern a older Provinces, where, in politics,, might right and expediency playa a mora promi ent part than prinoiple. There: the f iii rule at the expense of the many,: where in the newer Provinces of Ontario and Mani- tobaeh?e people insist on their right to ru e, and refuse to become the hewers; of wo d and drawers of water to the monopolistpi corporations and powerful monetary in- stitutions. ;Mr, Mair not having sufficient- ly'outgrown his earlier training, - conic! n seethe- feree anc1 sense of this. He cou: not understand Why the people ahould' n be brought into subjeation to the corpora tions andewhy the latter should not zule,an�. be was always aiding them as far as he could to. secure thio power., Hence •hie troub e with his western colleagues, who unclestand the` situation rind temper of the m - jority of the people with whom they have t deal very muoh more accurately th-an he do esj and who know that were Mr. Blair's polio rel to prevail the Governeient would be doomed./ Under . these oiroumstanoep, therefore, we have no hesitation in: saying that the retiret. meat of. Mr. Blair from the Dominion Cab'r net is a good thing for the Government an a- better thing for the enuntry. We, in t west,. respect the man fore his great abi-1i y and integrity, but hie views are too far e hind the times but, be wholeaome, and th more doneistently he adheres to them; th more offensive do they become, r•. m lirler has r of ' the do n me a He Wing itu- of n in ugh 1ee- on. ght re, ro- of he nal sea nor, is n,8 his ry ut,. se re Isi- ie he. b1 d is n- 8, d The death is announced of Justice Sir John Armour, Chief of, the Supreme Court of Canada. The death tools placeat the residence of the deceased's con in London, England, where the deceased gentleman had been for some time, for the benefit of hie health. The event was: not unexpected, 'ae Justice Armour bad been aeriouely ill for some time. He was 72 yrara of age and was one: of the ablest men on the Canadian Bench. • He was, ; also, a member of the -Alaskan Boundary Commission, and it• fs said that Hen. Mr. Siston may resign his seat in the Dominion. Parliament and be- op - pointed - . Mr. Armour's ■uooesior` on the Commission. This latter.. is but a rumor so far. - The Redistribution Bill. Tho special committee of the Dain on Parliament, gomposed of members from b th sides of the mile, to Which wi►t! deleg ed the work of eying out the cooietituen Wsunder the proposed, Redistribution bill h ve now, - prs¢tloally, oompleted their labo -s. There had been little friotioa on the co mitten : and the prooeedinge have beon sr• prisinglyamicablo, thus showing' that.both. sides were animated by a spirit of fairne e.' The only- difficulty that •wets experienced. was in the 1aying'oub of the 'oonstitueno es of Ontario. It was thought at one time.t at a di cult snag had been struck here, but 11 the. differences of opinion have been.ov r. • come ° by a little judioious give a - di take on ' the I p rb • of members n Its of .the eon}rnjbte 's tify the ' extreme w s y e both sides.

There is no deubt but the re- port of the committee will be adopted by the House and we will have for the first time hi the history of the Dominion a rerhie= bributon which will: be free from even -$ taint of a jerrym nder. 1 - In Ontario the redistribution was made all --the more di oalt on account of three members having o be out off and the neoes .city of giving To onto tnoreaeed represents- tiorr, That city s tohave five members and is to be divid d into the game number of oonstitueno es.
