then refers to quoting in the light of this that the 22nd section of the Manitoba Act of 1870, which was in truth a Parliament-

ary compact, must be read,” and says :

“tere ihe expression “compac.” is used in that spec fic anil technical sense which it has acquired im English itutiona! : Now, tbe rule to be

onst saw. observed is respect to compacts between peoples is a ver; anc'ent one. We are told in the story of the conquest of Canaan that Jos- hua made peace with the Gibzonites, and

made a league with them, to let them live. Aud that the chiefs baund them- selves according to the ancient custom. T he G bron ites were supposed to reside

far awav from the scene of Joshua’s mil- itary operations. In three days thereaf:er, Joznua was in the midst of their country. It was within the area which had been marked out by him fur conquest, and the Israelites muraiured because of the treaty

which Joshua ant tle chiefs had made. But the answer was: we have mad> a compact; we may not touch them:

we are bound to its observance. And from that day to this compacts between persons and compacts states, whether weak or powerful, are held in the eve cf the law, and ia the moral sense of man- kind, to be inviolable, accoraing to their true intent and meaning. Sir, it was ar- gued in this House a vear ago that there is no constitutional duty imposed upon Par- lramentin the last resort to grant redress. ]t is said that the power vested in Parlia- ment was a mere enabling power to be employed, not fur the benefit of the min- ority, but, if at all, in the general interest of the whole public. I shall examine this coutention la‘er, but I will say at this point that where an enabling power is be- stowed for a specific and named purpose, the constitutional presumpiion is that obedience to the law is in the public inter- est,and this judgmentas to the welfare was exercised under al! circumstances,

Tue Examiner is

right in this regard. He said:

The hon. member for Albert, said last year: “It is clear that we have the power. Bat the statute does not use any word that in ticates « om pulsion; it does not tay we must or shall make remedial laws and I base a great deal on this clear word “may” of the Act, seeing we have no Case to gnide Now, these words show, I think, that the hon. member has misunderstood and misapplied a very importaat rule of con- siruction, Words of compulsion are never applied, either to the sovereign or toa <ov- ereign body. “The sovereign,” says Sir George Bowyer, “cannot be commanded, and so, words of command are not respectful, as they ar, in effect, a denial

of sovereignty.” Our Constitution, like that of England, imputes the intention both to the sovereign

a:d to parliament to keep faith aud to pertorm all the duties falling within their reepective jurisdictions. The law does not impate to either, in any event, bad faith. There is no authority over e‘ther

one or upon the other, and so words of compulsion are regar led as improper. [he sovereign, at her coronation, takes an oath to govern according to law, and we must assume that every duty by law im- posed upon the sovereign will be faith- fully performed. Every legislative body ite authority, and there is nO power any where to order it to act, and any words of compulsion applied to it would be out of place. But the constitution agsumes that although only words of mere permission are allowable, that the sovereign or sover eign bodies will act wherever action on | their part is called for. In the case of the 1891, Mr. Justice Charies says :

“There are no deubt cases where the ser vants of the crown have been constitu‘ed, perform particular But it is also beyond question that a mandamus cannot be directed against the Crown or any servact of the Crown simply acting in his capacity of servant.” And in the case of the Queen vs. the Lords of the Treasury, Chief Justice Cockburn says:

“We must start with the unquestioned principle that where a duty has to be per- formed by the C:own this court Cannot claim, even In appearance, to have any power to comm and the Crown. Tae t ving is out of the question. Over the sovereign we have no power.

acts,

In like manner where the parties are acting as servants of the Crowa and are amenable to the Crown whose servant

they are, they are not amenable tous in the exercise of our prerogative jurisdiction

So the hon. member for Albert will see that from the use of the word “may” it does not atal! follow that no duty is im posed, because words of compulsion are never used in such a case, and tire use of mere enabling words does not touch the question as to whether what has been authorized implies a duty or a mere dis- eretion.

These quotations will suffice fur to-day. We shall give the Guardian, the Patriot and its anonymous correspondents a sec- ond dose to-morrow, in the hope that they may be cured of their distemper in regard to the Manitoba question. We give good grit medicine.

Mr. Peters’ majority has $25,- 000 forthe erection of a wing to the Hos-

pital for the Insane and carte blanche forthe Prince of Wales College. This means $75,000 additional to the Provincial debt before the buildinga are completed. In the present embarras-ed state of the Province, with added deficits, accumulating debt, anu increasing taxation, such voting Mr. Peters and his majority will have much to answer for when next they appeal tothe taxpayers. It is to be remembered that they have re-

Preparing for * the Fight,

Orrawa, April 24.

Everything was in a rush and turmoil around Parliament buildings yesterday The members were crowding in the last batches of Campaign literature, because, as soon as prorogration is over, the franking privilege ceases.

After the Governor General’s speech the guns boomed oace more from Nepeau Point and the seventh Parliament was at an end.

The closing day of Parliament wituess- ed the disappearance from the Commens

of a well known figure in Canadian hae a 8 politics. Sir Joha Carling, who long ago

announced his intention to retire from active political life, was yesterdny called tothe Senate and took his seat in the upper house yesterday afterday afternoon. Accompanying him was another member of the House of Commons, Thomas Temple, for.many years member forYork,

From this time out both parties will cevote themselves strenuously to perfect- ing their arrangements for the great fight. Most of the ministers will be here two or three weeks yet, and not until a month before polling will actual fill wok commence.
