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 the figures. as misleading as they are untrue, and yarn). more so than much of the material that passes for "fact." And, as it Matter of fact, he was with- in` his rieht in using the frank when he did. late iNSINcrogirir It/rOsED. Sir Charles Tupper, as leader of the Conservative party, has been peeing as an ultra -loyalist of the first water, since the commencement Of the South African campaign, hut his eonsietency and sincerity received a severe shoat on Thursday, when Dr. Russell, one of the Halifax representatives, rohowed that up to as late it date as three yeari3 , ago, Sir Charles had openly and bitter- ly opposed Oftliedit doing anything to. wards aiding England in its foreign Were, Mr 11118001i quoted copiously from former speeches of Sir Charles, and conyinced the Rome that the lat. ter had undertone it sudden change of heart for polifteal putposee only. The speech was an admirable one, enIcared as much by the Liberals as it WAS dis. liked by the Consertrativee, who did uotrelish, any more than Sir Charles himself, the ecathing and maeterly ex. pose he WAS subject too.
