VVEDNESDAY. MARCH 22, 1899.

THE SENATE-

When the corrfederation was form-

ed the constitution of the country was framed by the representatives of boah political parties. Leading Con- servatives and Liberals in Canada, Nova Scotia and New Brunswick join- ed hands to carry that measure and shaped the terms which were crystal- lized into the British North American Act. Among the provisions of that act are those which idetermine the constitution of the Senate, the num- ber of its members, how they shall be, apportioned among the provinces,their mode of appointment and the life tenure by which they hold their posi- tions. _

It is to be observed that the

Liberal party, equally with the Con- servative party is responsible for the basic act which determined the status and powers of the Senate. And we think it fortunate that no one party but the two great parties in Canada. are thus responsible for the great im- perial charter by which the Dominion was constituted. It was not a mere “union upon parchment” which might be torn up or set aside at will, but a solemn and binding compact to which the leading statesman and represent- atives of the country had set their hands as pledges of -agreement and 'unity of purpose.

No doubt the Senate has proved

unsatisfactory to one of the great parties in Canada. Long tenure of power by the Conservative party gave them opportunity to appoint so many of their friends to the Senate that it became overwhelmingly Conservative in its composition. Such being is political complexion it has quite naturally dealt in a friendly spirit. with the measures of successive C.\n- servative administrations. It has also, sometimes, dealt in a hostile and partisan spirit with the measures of .successive Liberal administrations. “Hence there has arisen within the Li- iberal party a. desire for Senate reform, -or in other words a desire to restrict ‘the powers,or alter the constitution of the Senate.

Thereupon the question arises,

‘Ought one party be permitted to tear down, or materially alter what was 'constructed by agreement of both lpartiesi Ought there not to be be- lllind any question of Senate reform evidence of such a general consensus of opinion and agreement among the people of Canada in favor of such a changeas was appnrent when the Senate was first called into exist- ence 'l .

If we look abroad for such evidence

today what do we find? In a section of the Liberal press t-here is, indeed, a loud call for Senate reform, but with little agreement as to its general scope. Two of the provincial legisla- tures-those of Ontario and Nova Scotia.-have resolved that the con- stitution of the Senate ought to be changed. Sir Wilfrid Laurier has

That. Ace; was passed by the Im-

perial Tarliamcrit at the request of joint addresses passed by the houses ‘l of assembly and legislative councils of old Canada, Nova Scotia and New Brunswick when those legislatures possessed plenary power 120 Speak fOr the people of these provinces. The greater half of the powers the provin- _ cial legislatures then possessed have becn talzen away by the federation act. And even now it is very doubt- ful whether in a single province pos- sessing two legislative chambers the rpper branch can be induced to join in a resolution calling for Senate re- form.

How then can Sir Wilfi-id possibly

isecure such an expression of repre- sentative opinion in Canada in favor A of his plan of Senate reform as will move the Imperial Parliament to pass the required amendment to B. N. A. Act? He may pass his address through the Commons but the Senate will reject it, He might appeal to the people by a plebiscite on the ques- tion, were it not ‘that he has utterly discredited the verdict of the people _ in the plebiscite on prohibition.

It would seem therefore that there

is at present no “open door” for Sen- ate reform, nor is there likely to be unless that body should be temptod to interfere in regard to, or ,defeat Esome measure which it is the especial province of the Com- mons to settle and determine. An election bill, or a bill for the redistri- bution of electoral seats might furnish such an opportunity, and by interfe ,rerce with such a measure the Senate 'might foolishly ‘weaken its present almost impregnable psition. A

The true remedy for the troubles

1 caused by the Senate to the Liberal party is for the party leaders now in power to govern so honestly, wisely, and economi :ally that a grateful y country will give them a prolonged term of power. In less than the eighteen years in which their prede- cessors held the reins of power the iLiberal party would then easily ap- point enough Senators to give thorn. control in the Senate. This is. a somewhat slow but a perfectly legiti- and commendable way for Sir VVil- frid to obtain a. reconstruction of the Upper House.

Our doctor bills have been very lawre each year ; neither mysetf nm- my wife have had g full n-lght"s sleep durring thc last year of his trouble, having had to poultlce and give him medicine to keep him from choking.
