THEN AND NOW!

ly is really wonderful how the Liberals The difference in the temper and attitude of Sir Richard Cartwright seems to be typical of a clearer and more reasonable view on the part of all the leading members of the party. As the Montreal Star received today remarks:

have changed since the election.-

“The scbering effect of responsibility is being shown by the Liberala during these days of trial at every point. The other day we heard the Hon. Dav.d Mills detending the Serate and predicting its good beha vior. During the campaign just closing in Centre Toronto we have seen the Liberal candidate arguing earnestly for the stabil - ity of the tariff. Tomorrow our ears may be rejoiced by the strident tones of James McMullen pleading for generous expendi- tures at Rideau Hall. It is easy w make very pretty play with the sword of criti- ciem while one’s shoulders are light with ibe irresponsibility of opposition ; but when one must abandan theories and face con- ditions, it is marvellous how closely the critic follows the path he spurned.”

The fact that the Liberals are now following Conservative paths proves that, in their opinion, the Conservatives were in the right while they were in the wrong aud, that the Conservatives were turned out of office upon false pretenses.

MR. MILLS AND THE SENATE.

We desire to call attention to-day to the views lately expressed by the Hon. David Mills as to the maintenance of the Senate. in the course of a speech to his old con- stituents at Ridgetown, the honorable gentleman said :

“| believe that the national government could not Jong sxist without experiencing a revolution unless there were two houses. He quoted the house of Lords as an ex- ampie of the second chomber. It ia not without its merits, be said. Many of its membersare meu who for years sat in the House of Commons, and they acquired there a knowledge of menand affairs which they carried with them to the se- cond chamber. With respect to lezal reforms, the House of Lords since the be- ginning of the century bas done the public great service, and, as to political reforms they have not generally been found oppos- ed to these changes which public opinicn demanded. The defects of the House of Lords are defects which are due to the fact thut the great majority of its mem- bers have little practical experience of thie trials to whieh the masses of the peuple are subject.”

Continuing he eaid ;

“I have been told that we Liberals have little to hope from a Senate that is polit- ically hostile tous. Let me say that it is not well to anticipate difficulties that may not arise. Imaintainthe utility of the second chamber. I admit that its coa- atitution may be improved, but reformation is not abolition; and let me say to youa few words with regard to the limitation conventions have placed on ita authority. Eversince Lord Grey’s Reform Bill the powers of the House of Lords have been greatly restricted by conventions which had arisen sod which had been recognized becanse of their efficient and ticial *ubstitutes for the creation of new peers to render legislation pos- sible. The Senate of Canada is subject to the same conditions, It has with regard to all new measures upon which public cpiniou has not been expressed the right to express its opinion as freely as the House ef Commons. But when che matter has heen one of public discuseion in the Houae of Commons and an appeal! has been made

the country upon it or on several guestions of which it is one, I take the rule to be that it is not open to the Senate lo reject a measure giving effect to the public policy which the electors have affirmed. I am persuaded that the Senate will not put itself in antagonism to the country, aod will not say that what the

veu

people have approved of at the general election sball not beccme law. The political complexion of the

House of Commons shows what the man- date of the electorate is, and the influence of the Senate as asecond chamber depends, in a larger degree, upon the respect it shows for the jadgment of the nation formally pronounced. We have, as leade

of the Opposition in the Senate, 3:,

NOTES AND COMMENTS.

—Talking about Scotch wit, the follow- ing sample is from Punch:

Sportsman fintently regarding a fl. ck of ¢ucks at which be has just fired) —“] think he’ll come down, Duncan.”

Duncan—‘‘ Aye, he’i] come down— .vhen be’s hungry.”

-—The customs department at Ottawa willissue acircular shortly to ensure the reporting of shipments made to foreign countries, The export figures have oever been complete, and itis with a view of making them as accurate as possible that the order 1s to be issued, which wi!! require exporters to file with the railroad com- panies by which they sbip, a list of the goods shipped and the route to be taken.

—Commenting upon the result of the election in Toronto Centre the Montreal Gazettesays: The Conservatives, however, are nut likely to fiod much to discourage them in the outcome of the contest. They made a good fight against a very good Opponent. Mr Bertram is a success- ful Dusinesa man, rightly respected for personal reasons. He presented himself on @ platform that won him the sympathy of other business men. He expressed bim- eelf as directly opposed to the old Libera! policy of redueing the tariff by degrees till the last vestige of protection is e:imin~ ated there from. He demanded perman- eacy in the tariff. Some of his supporters sought votes for him on the plea that the tariff sbould be taken out of politics. He was anytbing but a radical free trader. His return wil] not strengthen the sectien of his party which regards Sir Wilfrid Laurier’s Cobden Ciub medal as his high- est insignia of honor. He wi!l be among the moderates. He had in the campaizo the suppert of two governments, that of Ontario, and that of the Dominion; and while government influence on the elector- ate is often over-estimated, there is little doabt thatwhen the majority is a narrow one, as it ie in this case, a very consider- able part of it may be ascribed ot the desire that possesses many voters to side with those in pewer. The candidature of Mr. Howland was wel! justified by the run he bas made.it shows that his party, eontrary to the general rule in Canada, has not lost seriously in an important coustituency by being cast into opposition. It is a warrant for contesting other Government constit- uencies as the opportunity may offer.

BITS OF HEATHER.

a

The sprigs of beather displayed by the Rev. David Sutherland in the basement of Z ou Church last evening were greatly admired by an overflowing audience. The stories were al! Scotch and good, and the pictures (except that of Charlottetown) were all Scotch and good. Mr. Suther- land set forth Scottish wit, humor, patro tism and steadfastness to religion and priaciple in an altogether pleasing and edifying light. His peroration on being true to principle must have made some 0! the paltering politician’s ears tingle.

ESTEEMED EXCHANGES

St.John Sun : Sir Louis Davies on Saturday last assured the Toronto peopl that Sir Wilfrid opposed Chamberlain's Zolverein idea because it involved free trade within theempire. And Lord Farra: gave Sir Wilfrid the big medal as a res ard for cpposing the Zolverein because it in- & volved protection.

Halifax Herald: Government organe ar-~ reporting Sir Louis Davies as saying in speech during the Centre Toronto cam paiga, as follows: “What would be the | good of maintaining duties against Ger- many, Belgium, France and the United States if the manufactured products of the British empire were admitted into Canaan duty free? How long could Canadian manufacturers stand up against that ? Not a moment. The thing was not arguable.” And this is ‘he utterance of a man who has been fighting Protection for eighteen years, and whois now the cabinet
