‘CONSTITUTIONAL QUESTIONS.

Tae Colonist of Victoria, answers eeve~ ral questions that have beea propounded in view Of the penaing ministerial crisis, Here sre some of them :

**Must Mr. Martin resign the Attorney-~ Generaiship because Mr. Semlin has ask-~ ed him to? Tne anawer is that he need He can legally hold office until dis- missed by the Lieutenant Governor. He ix just as much attorney general vow as be has been at any time since his appoint. ment.

“Muet the Lieutenant-Gevernor dismiss Mr. Martin if asked to do eco by Mr. Sem- lin ora mejerity of the cabinet ? Not necessarily. He may refuseto accept the advice of his ministers in this particular, which would of course leave them no alter- native except 'o resign.”

* Can the Lientenant-Governor decline to accept any one recommended as a mem- ber of hie cabinet bo the Premier? He cai, and it rests with the Premier whetber or not such a refues] shal! be regarded as an expression of want of confidence.

“Has the Lieutenant-Governor any right te consult bis personal predilections in regard to members of the cabinet? He undonbtedly hrs. A minister must pos- ress the confidence both of the Lieutenant- Governor and the legislature.

** Does the resignation of a premier carry with t the resiga+tion of the whole min- istry ? It unquestionably does in Great Britain, and most of the colonies, but there may be some doubt if under the peculiar phraseology of our constitution act this ie strictly true of British Columbia. In point of fact it would be true of this province, because if the Lieutenan't-~Gov- ersor accepted the resignation of tne Premier as tvch it would be both tendered and accep'elon behalf of the whole gov- ernment,”
