A Splendid Victory in Cape Breton.

One of the most splendid victories of the Liberal-Conservative Party was gained yestdrday in Cape Breton County. The Liberal-Conservative vote polled was a good deal more than double that polled for the Opposition. Mr. McLeod, brother of the decease:l member, was triumphantly elected by a majority of two hundred and twenty- eight over Mr. McKay, the Grit candi- date; and Mr, Dodd, the second Liberal- Jonservative candidate polled no less than eight hundred and nine votes—making the Liberal-Conservative majority ONE THOU- SAND AND TWENTY-EIGHT !

This is glorious news. It shows that the people of Capo Breton are determined to stand by the National Party and the National Policy of Canada. It shows that not local purpeses, not local prejudices, but the general good, guides them in their decisions upon questions which apply to the Dominion at large. Like Prince Ed- ward Island, Cape Breton has not yet, as in the larger provinces of the mainland, benefited to any great extent by the new policy. Asin Prince Edward Island, so in Cape Breton, mistakes have been made which have grated somewhat upon local in- terests and feelings. Yet the people of Cape Breton have shown that they are above considering sueh things when called upon to send a representative to the Supreme Council of the Nationality ; that they have confidence in the men who now direct the public aifairs of this great country ; that they believe their policy to be for the good of the people as a whole,—and doubtless they see that it will ultimately be best for themselves—that the due development of the richmineral resourcesuf Cape Breton de- pend upon the working out of a National Policy.

It is to be noted that this is the sixth victory the Government have gained since they attained to power.

Legislatures and Parliaments.

Fennixc Taytor, Deputy Clerk of the Senate of Canada, and said to be an authority, has pointed out that members of the Local Legislatures ‘do not possess powers, immunities and privileges similar to those possessed by members of the House of Commons of Great Britain or of Canada. He states that the Imperial Par- liament never conferred such immunities and privileges upon any Colonial Legisla- In fact, it conferred nothing beyond The immunities

tare. the power to make laws. and privileges of members of the British Parliament are secured by centuries of undisputed possession. But these, Mr,

Taylor says, were never conferred on the!

Legislatures created in Canada. . The Im- porial power “‘ reserved the gift of these at- tributes until 1867, when the Dominion was established and a Parliament created, supplied with all the adjuncts of the Brit- ish institution of which it was made as perfect a copy as circumstances would per- mit.” The framers of the Constitutional Acts of 1791 and 1840 and of the Confederation Act of 1867, carefully pre served the distinction between the terms Parliament and Legislature. The Assem- blies of Upper and Lower Canada created by the Act of 1791, that of the Province of Canada created by the Aci of 1840, and those of the Provinces of Ontario, Quebec, Nova Scotia and New Brunswick created by the Act of 1867, as well as those of Prince Edward Island, Manitoba and Brit- ish Colmabia, which subsequently came into the Confederation, are in no instance spok- en of as Parliaments or as a part of a Par- liament. It isonly when the ruling power of the Dominion Legislative bodies of the Commons and Senate are spoken of—that the word Par-

liatuent is introduced, and then the draits- man is cateful to give the first Parliament ever created in British North America, by express words, all the privileges, immuni- ties and powers pessessed by the Imper-

ial Parliament.” Mr. Taylor argues that the British North America Act

should be regarded as the interpreter of of the other Acts establishing Colonial Legislatures, ‘‘since it not only uses the words, ‘Parliament and ‘Legislature’ but, | for the first time, it defines their meaning and points out their powers. He then deduces the conclusion that ‘‘as a Legisla- | ture is a body distinguished from and net | identical with a Parliament, so it must be | ruled by the conditions of its creation and not by the conditions under which the body |

from which it was distinguished were created. A Parliament possesses hereditary as well as inherent right. A Legislature possesses only a charter right; for it has no other or higher powers than those con- tained in the Act under which it is estab- lished ; and therefore,its authority, like the authority of a municipality, is absolutely limited by the law.” This is Mr. Taylor’s contention; and draws the somewhat alarming inference that :— ‘“the privileges, immunities and powers claimed by the Legislatures of Upper and Lower Canada under the Act of 1791, by that of Canada under the Act of 1840, and by the several Provinces confederated under the Act of 1867 were, and are, unjustly claimed; and, if contested, would have been, or will yet be, held by tho Supreme Court of Canada and by the Privy Council of England to be unwarrantable assump-

he

tions of an arbitrary and absolutely illegal authority.” These ‘“ privileges, immuni- ties and powers” are chieily—freedom of the members from arrest for debt; the right to imprison for contempt of the House; freedom from prosecution (civil or criminal), for words spoken in-debate ; and access, at all reasonable times, to the Executive Head of the Government. The powers, privileges and immunities of the Local Legislatures are, Mr. Taylor says,

‘ec

properly confined to the right to remove person, whether a member or a from the Chambers who is ob- structing their proceedings. The subject is oue of great interest to politicians. The Canadian Monthly for October contains a brochure.

Ir ts difficult to give a direct answer to the. question of ‘* Enquirer’’—whose note may be seen on the first page—inasmuch as there are no reports at the Custom House of the quan- tity of flour imported from the Upper Prov- inces —the place where the greatest portion of our flour is purchased. However, we may state that during five months of the present year— May, June, July, August and Septem- ber-- there were exported from Queen’s and hing’s Counties, 338,023 dozens of eggs ; val- ued at $36,111.00.
