REDISTRIBUTION- SIx CHARLES’ POLICY

—_—_——_———

Anout a week ago, we directed atten- tion to Sir Charies Tupper’s resolution in amendment of the Redistribution Bill. This resolution is worthy the careful at-

tention of all whosre opposed to the gerry

mander. it reads;

“In the opinion of this House it is ex pedient tointroduce in place of the pres- ent bill,a measure based on the following provisions.

1.—That a commission to consist of the chief justices of the highest court of judicature in each of the provinces of Canada shall be appointed for the purpose of fixing the boundaries of each constit- uency entitled to elect a member or mem- bers of the House of Commons in each province of Canada and of determ‘ning the number of members to be elected for each constituency in aceordance with the British North America Act.

“2nd.—That such commiesiop in 680 doing shall consider the population according to the then latest census of Canada and the publiv interest aud convenience and shall particularly have regard to the principle of representa- tion by population and shall aleo have re- gard as faras practicable to the boundaries of counties, municipalities and cities.

“Sid.—The commission shall be ep- pointed as soon as possible after the com- pletion of the next census and shall com- plete their with all convenient speed.”

work If this resolution had heen adopted, the

redistribution of electoral districts for

members of the House of Commons would be taken out of the hands of th? politi- placed in those of the highest judges in the land. The gerrymander would thus be disposed of ; aud the people would know that they should have fair play. As the Montreal Star has remark ed, “ The Tupper policy is comprehensive, fair, and entrusts the judges with powers which will enable them to do their daty fully and effectively.” But the Govern- ment insisted upon its bill, which admits of a few judges in Ontario, as a cloak for such scandalous gerrymandering in other parts of the country as we see in the giving of two representatives and two votes to the electors of Prince cousty and but to the

cians and

one representative and one vote electors of Kings !

Itcannot be supposea that this patent iniquity will be permitted by the Senate. Last year the Senate threw out the Gov- ernment’s bill, on the ground that a re- distribution should not, according to the constitution, be made until after the tak- ing of the decennial census. The propriety aud justice of the Senate’s course was acquiesced in by the country. There were bat few complaints againet it, and these from hard and fast pariisans of Tarte and Laurier. If the same course be adopted this year, it will be acquiesced in the more readily in view of the fact that the census may be taken within a year and that the policy of Sir Charles Tupper in respect to redistribution has been formu- lated and isready to be submitted to the people at the next general election.

By the way is it not strange that our ; independent daily is atsolutely cerning Sir Chsrles Tupner’s policy in respec: to redistribution ? Speculation concerning the future of Soutn Africa ought not toso absorb the attention of the press that questions of the tirat import- ance in the politics of Canada should be

But a whole day was not long erough to bring men together from ali’ parts of the country. So the Stanley was not ready to leave this morning. It happened, pro- videntially, that the wind veered to the southward during the night and The Minto was, like Ladysmith, “relieved automaticalty,”’ in part, at least, and got Out into the clear water in which she is of some use. We hope, however, that the order to “commission” The Stanley will not be revoked. The steamer 18 wanted at Charlottetown, and her services will be greatly appreciated by the merch-
