AN • =FEU INSTITUTION
It is announced that "tho Senate has
resumed ite sitiingsl" and so little In-
terest is taken n this institution, that
had it not been for the announcement,
very few people mould haveknown
whether it Was sitting or not. I have
dropped We the, Chamber occasion-
ally, when id session; and never yet
save more than 25 or, 30 Senators in
• their placer, although there are 80 who
draw sessional allowance. The infus-
ion of new blood into it•xnay prolong
its life, but It is it moribund concern,
and must be wiped out sooner or later.
It possesses no power to legielete for
the general good, but, by a singular
anomaly, has power to. destroy any
legislation it likes. The public allure
ions to it as "the Red Onamber" are
due to the fact that the carpet, desk
trimmings, and upholstering of the
room generally, are it deep red color.
The effect is decidedly ssmbre, and.
sitting amid these surroundings, one,
almost irresistibly feels disposed to in-
dulge itt sleep. I believe there is a day
coming when the sober sense of the
people, regardless of party,' will abolish
an ,expensive institution that has no
responsibility to the . people whc, pay
them, and that Serves no good end
.overrif it had; Notwithstanding the
presence of it large !lumber of my own
party friends within he membership, I
Mc•ve to abolish the Senate. • Who will
second the motion.
A TAXING POSIT;ON.
The Speaker of the House, Hon.
Thomas Bain, tills his position better.
in our opinion, than did his predecess-
nr. He reads the opening prayer with
a deliberation anddevoutness that is
seggestive of personal goodness, and
he endeavors to be absolutely Impar-
tial and fair, but his patience has been
very,sorely taxed on several occasions
this session.. Members of the Opposi-
tion use oblectidnable ternss quite fre-
quently concerning their opponents,
taut let one of the Liberals bay any-
bing about the other ride that they,
revard as offensive, and there is a row
straight off. To sae three or four
members on their feet at once, each
trying to speak, the rest of the House
shouting "Order," and the Speaker
hopelesslyarying to maintain it, in cer-
tainly undignified in a parliamentary.
body, but it has beenalmost a daily oc-
currence this seesion, and seems to be
growing worse instead of better. The
Liberals in the BOUM take a verbal
"pounding" , better than their oppon-
ents. lf allusion is made to alleged in-
consistencies or shortcomings of Lib -
orale, they allow the 'man making the
charges to proceed until be is through;
then they go for him. But if it hap-
pens that a Liberal is showing up a
Conservative, the latter becomes un-
easy as the debate proceeds, and soon
rises to's pnitit of order, simply to di -
Vert attention from the speech, and,
between crest) firing and debate, the
ROUESis in a tumult that would die -
grace it lot often -year-old school boys.
.And amid it all the ' Speaker, in Adis-
trescr, is doing his best to get the Howie
back to a normal state of temper.
ROW "FACTO ARE MANPEACTUREE.
During the discussion in the House
&beet the franking priyilege it was
alleged that Sir Richard lewtwright
had sent out 80,000 parriphlete free of
postage, and the statement that fol-
lowed. this was that be had thus de-
frauded the postal department mit of
68000. Every one saw at a glance the
blunder, but once the figures got Into
print no one stops for a Mcment to
consider that it would not rkuire any-
thing like a8000 to pay postage on the
nilinber ot pamphlets given, for it rep-
resents postage at the rate of 10e for
each one mailed. But look in any Op-
position paper you like, and there are
