That phrase expresses we think quite just-‘ ly the general attitude rind feeling of thc Protestant community towards the proposal to secularise marriage. Yet Mr. Fullerton also tells us that “Dean Bidwell’s position as set forth in The Guardian's article of May 30th, is the position of an over. wbclming majority of the Protestants in Canada. This is clearly demon- started by the action of the higher courts of the churches that have held their assemblies this year." I-Iere, then, we have the Protestant

r THE ELECTION IN NOVA SCOTIA.

cently dissolved the ministerial part.,- mude up more than three fourths of the membership. 'I‘o overcome so

great odds appears an 1-ilinost hope- less task for the Opposition, and an ,election seldom becomes exciting nn- der such circumstances.

It is a remarkable tribute to the

teen years of power, under one leader, and twenty-nine years for the party, it should stand so strong. As Gov. ernments go, the Liberal party has given Nova Scotia a succession nf creditable administrations, not free from minor faults, but in the main honest, efficient andprogressive. This accounts for the steady support it has met with at the hands of thc People. It is, however, to be hoped that the Opposition may develop My ditional strength in the polling next week. During several recent legisla- tive terms thc Opposition has been too weak in numbers and influence to exercise its proper functions- of criti- cism and restraint upon an a1l-pow- crful Administration. 1

For another reason increased repre-

sentation at the loft of the Speaker is desirable. It is due to the right, working of democratic institutions that all shades of opinion should be represented somewhat in proportion to their numbers. And the result; of m~8-“Y P0||i"l~!F in years past would appear' to show that at least 45 per cent of the electors are Conservative, while the membership of that party ‘in the House has made up but 10 to 20 per cent.

One reason for this state of things

has been the. unequal distribution of

which still exists and operates power fully in favor of the Murray Govern- ment in the present contest. The five

counties of Halifag, Cape Breton, Colchester, Picton and Cumberland contain more than half the popula- tion of the Province, and yet return but twelve members to a House of thirf:y.eight, instead .of the nineteen or twenty members to which they are

._ entitled, It is in these counties that the Conservative strength is great- est.

The provincial election in Nga

Scotia will be watched with interest in other provinces for any indication it may give as to the Dominion elec- tion which is now approaching, but it will be doubtful how far the pro- bable Conservative gains ln the pro- vincial contest will forrn a basis for

a sound judgment in that regard. The questions at issue in federal and provincial affairs are widely different. Reciprocity, for instance, which bids fair to be ,the great issue in the fed- eral election does not seem likely to hen considerable factor in the pro. vincial election. `
