[SreciaL TO THE EXAMINER ]
Orrawa, May 23.—The Senate met yesterday, sod after sitting a couple of hours, adjournedgtill Thursday. Senator Wark, who is 94 years of age, made a speech suggesting the appointment of 4 committee to make a better divisions of public busiaess between both Houses, and M'lis replied that the matter had been uader the consideration of the Government and this year three Government bills were
courage introducing bills in Senate, Two -were killed and one passed. Asto private bills the Senate could not force people tocome there with them, The Senate paid little atteation tothe principle of privateblis. When the Senate be-~ came more ip touch with public opinion, more time and attention would be given to leglislation which came before them.
Bir MacKenzie gave the Ministers to understand that before the Senate passed on tbe Drummond Railway bill it would be necessary tor the Government to furnish information that bad not yet been brought down.

CLEANING UP ONCE A YEAR.
The majority cf people treat their eys- tems in the same wanner asa house- keeper treats her home—they go in for a good cleaning once a year. In the “home” it isa rations] custom. In the case of ibe human eystem it is a moat irrational habit. Your health is your most valuable possession, and it should not be necessary to have to impress upon you that you should take constant care of it. It you have been neglecting it during past seasons, and fee) the need of a Spring inedicine, take Abbey’s Effervescent Salt. Take it every day. It is not only a Spring medicine; it isan all-the-year-~ ‘round tcnic and invigorator, which purifies the blood and cleanses the sy+— tem. Itsuse inthe spring wilido you more good than many so called Spring medicines. The fact that it was endorsed by and enters into the prescriptions of the leading physicians of Great Britain, Enrope and Canada ehould be suffisieat guarantee of its sterling worth.
Abbey’s Effervescent Salt is a standard English preparation, which is sold by al! druggists at 60 cts.a large bottle. Triel size 25 cts.
Dissappointment in England.
Lonxpon, May 27.—The announcement ir the Times from Ottawa that the, Canacian Government bas no intention of introduc-
worth of the best furniture ever SHOWD | ing a geners! insolvency Jaw creates great
disappointment in Anglo-Canadian trade circles. With Eoglish business men this question etands before preferential trade. Asone city opinion has it, preferential trade is nothing without honest trade.

| THE GERRYMANDER BILL
SIR CHARLES TUPPER’S VIEWS Sir Charles Tupper said that he would like to know how it was that Sir Wilfrid had resumed his seat without giving eome reason for the extraordiaary course follow:
ed by the Government in regard to the measure, The Act of Confederation pro- vided under what circumstances 4 biil of this kind could be passed. It provided that afier every decennial census was taken and the result made known that there should be a_ Redistribution Act. [twas not usualin alawto ep:cify that certain things should not be done. The constitution provided that a redistribution should take place at a certain time, and it not only made no pro- vision for a redistribution at avy ether time, but so farasa law could do it sug- gested that the time and the only time for dealing with @ change in the distribution of seats in the House cf Commons should be at a particular time and coly then, The proper, and in bis view the only tiwe when a redistribution could take place was after each decennial census. The infer- ence that it could not take place at any other time had been respected by every Goveroment aod every party since Confederation? In view of this fact,the House had a right to expect that before resuming bis eeat the First Minister should have given some rea- son why this unusual, unprecedented— aod he believed, a study of the constitu- tion would show this—strictly unconstitu- tiona) method had been resorted to. Was
introduced early in the session in the Sen- } the Government afraid to go back to the ate, but their fate was not such as to ens? electorate which had clothed it with pow.
er ? The Government had obtained power under most unusual circumstances and without having obtained a majority of the votes of the country on one single ques - tion at issue between the two great politi: cal parties.
It looked very much as if the First Min- ister believed that by converging the pow- er of two Governmente upon bye-~elections and by the dietribution of money and the adoption of the most startling means of winning elections he conld ,earry the bye- elections, but that he was unable to face a geuerai verdict of the people as that ver. dict would be recorded under the existing law. He regarded the measure under cor~ sideration as- a confession from the Pre- mier that be was afraid to go back te the electors from whom under exceptional cir- cumstances he had obtained power.
THE GLOBE’S DEFENCE.®
The Toronto Globe says that the bill em bodies two principles, county boundary lines will be adhered to, aud constituen- cies made ifeotical with counties wher- ever that is reasonble; and when it is necessary to divide # county, the division isto be male by a commission of judges. The preservation of the county lines, the Globe declares, is more important than a mathematically accurate division of the populatior. ‘bere are Lowever, coun- tits and cit/?s which are entitled by popu- lation to two, three or more members, and here a division is absolutely necessary, if for no other purpose than to give the pro- per representatiou to each province. But the public mind bas been educated in such a state of suspicion that the words redistri- bution and gerrymander have become &l-~ most syvonymous, and therefore some new departure mnst bs taken which will entire~ ly change the current of political thought. The handiog over to the judges the work of redistribution, the Giobe professes to believe, will be along step inthe right direction. It will, it says, make gervy~ mander virtually impossible.
COLONEL TISDALH#’S VIEW.
Col. Tiedale said the propoeal to have judges make their division when they were vound down so that they could only di- vide tbe constituencies to the advantage of the Government was nothing but a farce. After the Government had decided what the division was to be, the judges were to make the division. They were to have no option and the Government would take mighty good care that the divisions would be to their advantage. Adherence to county boundaries, he maintained, should not override the principle of representation by population. The Government had lost a great chance of setting once for all the question of redistribuiion, and they were strong enough to have introduced a fair bill along the lines of the English eystem, He appealed to the Government to recon~ sider its legislation on the subject and introdace a fair bill.
WHAT THE STARSAYS.
When Sir Oliver Mowat introduced the “gerrymander” system into Canads he did more to degrade Canadian politics \uan has ever been done before or ence. Whether the Redistribution Bill now before Parlia- ment is or is not worse in effect than Mo- wat’s gerrymander remains to be seen ; but it is essentially the same in intent. Its pur= pose is to prevent the true expression of the popular will and by feul means to keep in power the par:y now in power. In one respect the measure is infiaitely worse than Mowat’s, and that is im its fragrant hypocrisy. The falee pretence ie made by the Government organs that the work of redistribution is to Seas by the courts but the bill actually provides that judges are only to be called in one province after the principal part of the work hae been
