Tur British House of Commons is composed of 640 members. They are thus classed:— Liberals, 332—-a decrease of 22 members since the last general election; Conservatives, 242— au increase of 7 members; Home Rulers, 65— an increase of 3 members—or ouly a Liberal majority of 24 in « fall house, It will thus be seen that the slightest defection in the Ministerial ranks would cause the defeat of the Government. Evidentiy Mr. Giadstone’s safety lies in dissolution.

Considerable discussion arose. Caieron (Victoria), Haggart and Blake contended the change was more than verbal,

Sir John promised to lvok into the maiter, and later on stated he had done so and would move to discharge the Order of the House confirming the alteration in the Senate so as to have the Bill restored to its former condition.

On motion of Sir Charles Tupper the House considered the propriety of cun- curring in the railways subsidies resolution.

Mr. Blake made a long speech of three or four hours as a preface to an amendment which he moved to the effect that the House fecls bound to express an opinion

that the Dominion Government when it proposed by said resolution recouping one of the Provinces for

part of the past locai expenditure on rail- ways, should have regard to the past local expenditure in other provinces for railways, almost all of which have been declared to be the general advan-

for

tage of Canada, this House regrets that the Government, while proposing a measure of relief to one Province, has

not taken steps with a view toa fair and proportionate measure of relief in respect of local expenditure in the other Provinces. He contended that the expenditure by the federal Government, on account of railways within the Province, was improper; that it debauched provinces; taught local govern- | ments to be extravagant, and then when | suffering from their extravagance induced them to come to the federal treasury for aid.

Hon. Mr. Chapleau replied in French, speaking chiefly in defence of his own action in regard to the construction of railwafs in Quebec, and pointing out the national character of the expenditure between Ottawa and Montreal and Quebec. He

pointed out that the Province of New Brunswick had _ been refunded

by the Federal Parliament to the sum of $150,000 for part of the Intercolonial Railway, built by provincial money. This road between Ottawa, Montreal and Quebec is in a similar posi- tion. In both cases it was past local expenditure in one sense, but in the broader sense, it was past expenditure for really national purposes, and should be repaid to the Government. — MSY

Mr. Laurier said that the principal of paying local government moneys expended was altogether wrong. On motion of Mr. Gieruoard the debate adjourned at five minutes to twelve.

Oa motion of Sir John the House al- journed.

Dr. C. A. Fernald, Boston, Mass., 876: - “T have used it in cas-s of “impaired nerve function, with beneficial results, especially in

of three Provinces. To secure this exd ihe Federal Parliament might we!! concede lib eral financial aid, if the provineial services seem to demand it. We take it that the greater difficulty to overcome will be found in provincial prejudice. Neither province will be found willing to ‘‘knock under,” as it were, to the other in the matter of the capital. The most central point for the capital of the Maritime Provinces would be either Amberst, Sackville, or Moncton, but neither Halifax, Fredericton, ror Charlottetown will be willing to forego the supposed advantages they now possess by virtue of their positioa as provincial capitals, The interests—more imaginary than real of those cities should not, how- ever, be permitted to outweigh all other considerations, if these can be shown to be for the general advantages of the provinces at large.

The threé provinces have much in com- mon. Their leading interests are shipbuild- ing, lumbering and lumber manufacture, fishing, agriculture. They have hundreds of harbors and breakwaters, and a great extent of coast to be lighted. Their ex- tensive marine iaterests are in all respects identical. Nova Scotia has important mining industries, which the others have not. Nova Scotia and New Brunswick are making steady strides in manufacture,

while Prince Edward Island is more advanced in agriculture. As a matter of fact, however, their representa-

tives in the Dominion Parliament are there to represent practically the same classes of interests, from whichever province they may hail. Were these provinces uniied under a single Legislature and Government, their representatives in Parliament would be more influential than they are to-day, speaking as they would for nearly a million of people, a compact; united people, having common interests and an influential provin- cial autonomy.

To the Provinces themselves the gain should be very considerable. The abolition of sectional prejudice, the widening of the bonds of action in local affairs, the syin- pathy which each part of the Provinces would have with all the other parts,the inter} course and intermixing of population which would result, the study of character and resources of the several parts of the union by its members, could not have other than an elevating, broadening and valuabic jnfluence on the character of the people. The reduction of unnecessary expenditure, the increase of necessary expenditure, is also a matter of moment. It does not follow that a union of the Provinces would absolutely reduce the «xpenditure to be disbursed for provincial purposes. It would fallow, however, with careful study of the situation that a large body of present useless expenditure would be cat off and the amounts thus saved could be turned into useful channels, The very large sums now expended in maintaining three Government Honses, three Provin- cial Governments, three sets of depart- ments, with three sets of officers, ‘heee Houses of Assembly, three Legis- lative Councils, three sets of public docu- ments, with a vast number of unnecessary effcials who have become, by time aud political intrigue, fastened upon the people of several provinces, might be saved for the most part, while equivalent amounts sould be distributed to the support of edu- cation, the promotion of agriculture, the better maintenance of the great'roads and bridges of the provinces, the support of asylums for the insane, blind or deaf and dumb, or such ot! works Or industries as +e uoited levislature might xtreal Herald, April 5.
