MR. WISE’S ACTION. Rererrinc to Mr. Wise’s vote in fa vor of the resolution which called for an in-~ Vestigation of the financial conditien of this Provinee andthe formulation ofa new policy, The Guardian says :

“It was thought he (Mr. Wise) bad been conciliated by being given & mission to Eng~- laod,for which, in fact, be was not very well adapted, but bis opposition vote the other night shows that he is etill wavering—per- haps in the hope of being further cop~ ciliated.”

Mr. Wise knowe, now, why he was sent to Eogland. He may have thought--as the liberals all maintained at the time—that he wan sent io the interests of his fellow farmers. But this pretence has been thrown aside by the Guardian. The Government was concerned only in “son-~ ciliating” Mr. Wise, and obtaining his con- tiaued support. It speaks well for Mr. Wiee that, while he brought home more information for the farmers of P. E.

Island than it was thought he eovld bave obtained, he has shown that he was not to be “conciliated” by such This fact goes to prove that Juardian’s last ineulting euggestion is unreasonable and groundless,

Vanxcovver, May 12.—Ata meeting of the Board of Trade Mr. Buscombe mov- ed :—

“That this board, recognizing that ibe early construction of the proposed Pacific eable is of great importance to the PFre- vince of British Columbia, desires ta place on reeord its bearty approval of the rro- posal of ihe Provincial Government to subscribe stock in the enterprise te the extent of $1,000,000, and thata copy of this resolution be forwarded tothe Pro~ vincial Secretary.”

Mr. Buscombe spoke most strongly in favor of the movement, and coasidered that the $1,000,000 to be expended should be looked upon asa legitimate business investment, and orae which would assured- ly be a paying one. Cable stock was the most valuable that could be held now, and the layingofthe Facific cable would as- suredly be fraught with greet value to this province. Theenterprise was also not only of Dominion and proviacial import- ance, but of Imperial importance, and he hoped that his resoluvion would receive the unanimous approyal of the board.

M. H. Lockyer seonded tbe motion, which was carried unaaimousely.

Wife Aided His Suicide

Paris, May 12.—The euicide at Choisy- le- Roi, six miles sovth of Paris,of Dr. Laforest,a promicent wealthy physician, has caused a sensation. Dr. Laforest was accused of disgraceful conduct. and his arrest wae impending. He discusses the position with his wife, andthev concluded that, whether he was acquitidd or cons victed, he was ruised.

The doctor then resolved to kil him self. He made hie will, bade farewell te his wife, shut himself io his bedroom, papered the cracks of the door and win: dows, and then turnsd onthe gas. Fer two hours he conversed with his wife through the closed door, and then his voice gradually became feeb-er and feebler until it could not be beard.

Mme, Laforest then informed the police, who, upon entering the room, found Dr. Laforest dead.

ABSURD STATEMENT REFUTED.

Sir,—In the Guardian’s editorial col-~ umos of the 13th inat., a reference is made to the scheme proposed by Sir Wilfrid Laurier to reform the Senate. In total disregard of accuracy the editor unblush- ingly declares that the general teatures of this proposed scheme are similar to these contained in the proposed constitution of tbe Commonwealvh of Australia. No doubt the Liberal proclivities of the Guar- dien’s editor, though claiming independ- ence in politics, prompted him to make this erroneous statement. Let us. however, examine the facts! Sir Wiulfrid’s proposal is this: When there is a conflict between the Senate and the popular House then there shall bea joint vote, and the msjority shallcarry. [oa no land where liberal in- stitutions exist haesuch an abeurd scheme been ever proposed. It aesailsthe very foundation upoa which our grand federa- tion exists. When the great problem of Federal Union was being discussed the Hon. George Brown gave utterance to these words: “The very essence of our

compsct is that our un’on shail be federal |

aod not legislative. Our Lower Canada

friends have agreed to give ua représenta- |

tion by popularion in the Lower House oa

the expre-s e#aodition that they shail have |

equality inthe Upper House. Oa noother condition ceuld w? advancea step, and for

my part [I am _ quite willing they ehould have it.” Such -werc. the werds of th> great Liberal leader of

Qutario,who clearly perceived that ne union or no confederation would have been consummated had act the Maritime Pro- vinces been allowed to have the same rumber of Senztors in the Upper Cham-~ ber te safeguard their interests as Quebec and Ontario. But ‘he editor of the Guar- dian claims that Sir Wilfrid’s scheme is similar to that of Australia. The absnrd- ity and incorrectness of this contention is patent to any one familiar with the pro- posed constitution of Australia. In that country the Legislative Councils are eletc~ ed by manhood suffrage as isthe House of Assembly. The proposition betore the people of Australia is to elect the members of the Senate in the same way. It is not proposed that when both Houses differ they vote together. But when they disagree both Houses are dis- solved and an appeal tothe country is made. It is after this appeal that the question in dispute is voted on in a com- mon chamber. Such a step in Canada is entirely unnecessary. Following the principles of the British constitution the Government controlling the House of Commons in Canada can appeal to the ceuntry when the Senate disagrees, and if @ majority is returned in favor. of the question at issue, the Senate must hearken to the voice of the people. [t now remains for the Editor of the Guardian to show wherein lies the similarity between the scheme proposed by the Liberale of Canada to reform the Senate and that of our friends in Australia, ) oe
