because it cannot add one-fifth to membership of Quebec. The British North America Act specifically states that:

“Quebec shall have the fixed number of sixty-five members.”

Until an amendment of the British North America Act in that regard shall bave been passed by the Imperial Parlia~ ment, the membership of Quebec cannot be increased by the Cauada; and therefore The “ example” goes for nothing.

This extraordinary slip of the Guardian apart,—the question is : Did the Senate do rigbt or wrong when it declined to pass

Guardian’ §

the Senate has the right to reject as wel) as wo accept a redistribution bil! is admit- ted ; and thatthe Sill was contrary to the spirit of the constitution, which provides for decennial redistributions, is beyond doubt. Moreover, it is to be noted that the framers of the billdid not contemplate an increase of constituencies or members; and consequently The Guardian’s contention in that regard ie besidethe mark, But The Guardian contends that itwas not a gerry~ mander;andthis is the eole ground upou which the Senates’s action can properly be called in question. That the redistri bution bill was a gerrymander we main-~ tain ; and for proof of this propusition we call attention to its provisions for this Pro-~ vince, with the conditions of which al! our readers are familiar. This Province elects ' five members ; therefore it is impossible to make an equa) division according to its counties. But the bill, neverthelees, restor- es representation to the counties,—giv-~ and

There was for this injustice, Single ridings continue to be the rule in other parts of Cenada and this Province !is now divided, for the purpose of electing members of the ! onse of'Commons, as fairly and equitably as may be. There is but one reason, for the proposed change, and that reason, every~ one sees, is that the Liberals would have obtained an unfair advantage in this Pro-« viuce ifthe bill had been passed. Again we say only Liberals who are prepared to do that which is unjust for the furtherance of their party ends will condemn the Senate’s action in defeating an unjus; measure which would, if passed, have been a precedent forthe redistribution of the constituencies of Canada at eny time the interests of the party in power might seem to demand a change.

NOTES AND COMMENTS.

—Thbe mortality etatistics show a great improvement in the health of Santiago de

Cuba.

—The eleven millions a year added to the expenditures of Canada are equal to $55,000,000 in five years. Comes dear, | this Government by the Liberals.

—Mr. R. L. Richardson, M. P., says that “‘the Senate saved for this country a kingdom of what is known as valuable mineral lands.” Yet the party of which Mr. Richardson is a talented and disting- uishad member is agitating for the destruc- tiou of the Senate’s independe nce.

—Something of the old spirit flamec out in Sir Ricbard Cartwright a few days ago when he exclaimed inthe House of Com- mons: “England owes Canada much more than Cavada owes her.” Sir Richard ought to know by this time that this is not a spirit to be cherished,

—W.T. R. Preston is reported to have signified from a distant point his readiness to stand any amount of investi- gation. The Halifax Herald remarka that Premier Laurier did something of

the same kind when Mr. R. JL. Borden made his motion regarding the West Elgin and Brockville cases; but now

Priemier Laurier has got his committes— men to refuse toadmit the moet material and important evidence,

—In our necessarily hurried report of the Tignish Certenary, several errors of cmisioa and commission occurred. For instance, we should bave raid the banquet took place atthe Convent de Notre Dame insterd of the #re-bytery. In Father Burke’s artic!e on Tignish, many obvious typographical errors occur, some of which are traceab!e to L’Impar- tial, whence we tookit, and which are there corrected by an erratu which we overlooked. The datee, names, and facts, are, howeyer, all right,— except where we printed Richard for Pichard, as the name of the first parish priest at Tignish. The reverend gentleman will excuse ns if his classical sentences are sometines mutil- ated.

—Mr. Scott remarks : “ The process of shortening the Prince Edward Island rail- way, if not very rapid, is quite expensive. Mr. Blair has made one change which shoriened the road 3,281 feet, and has re- quired a construction of 1,819 feet of road. According to Mr. Blair he has reduced the sharpest curve from 94 degrees to 9 degrees, but the grade is alittle heavier than it was before. The cost of the change is given by Mr. Blair at $25,000, which is

P. E. Island says the cost is ridicul- ously in excess of what it ought to be, and offers to guarantee that if the rest of the woik is let by contract it will be done at one-third of the amount. It is sug- gested that this particular job was per- formed in Mr. Davies’s riding by day’s work, spreading over two or three years and was kept going to give employment to party friends. Naturally it came high. At this rate it will cost three times as much to straighten out the curves of the island railway as it would to build a new line from one end of the island to the other.”
