NOVEMBER 6, 1882.

Legislative Council Elections.

Tue Oppositionists and their candi dates—leaders aud led—all—except thei organ, which is strangety out of tune— admit, either opeoly or by implication, that a reduction of the Legislature i- necessiry. They dare not face the coun- try with any other statemeot. Even the man who has for years been President o! the Legislative Council—the mao who knows best about the true inwarduess of the Second Chamber—the man whe. most of all, is interested in the mainten- aace of the Legislative Council—tells the electors that ‘under our altered circum siauces since Confederation, and cons:- quent lessening of Legisletion,” he believes “an alteration of the Coustitutio: might be advisable.” and that he “would Support any measure which would secure to owners of property their relative in- fluence ” In short, even Mr. Job Baldersten is c¢. nstraiued to make peop!e believe that he warmly favors a reduc- tion of the Legislature, provided the iu. flnence of preperty-bolders is made para- mount in the Province.

Ii we point out tha! in this country of small freeholdess—where uearly every man owns his farm, aud where nearl; every man is directly or indirectly dependent upen farming— property. holders, necess rily, have, and mns' always have, all the influence tn the Leyis- lature—as well, » hile we have manhood suffrage as if we bad the needless aud invidious distiaction of a property quali- fication—as well with one Legislativ« Chamber as with two,—the Oppositionists aud Mr John Balderston say nothing They can say nothing; for the fact is patent to everyone. They adwi the uselessness of a second cham- ber; they cannot but see that pro perty holders will be in a better posision it we have «a redaced Legislature thanthey are now, inasmuch as*heir property will, by se mach, be relieved of direct taxation ; —anud yei they have no proposal to make, they have agreed upou no p'an After eight years of discussion they have pothing to submit to the people but the most gereral statements of their persona! views. Meu who mean to doa thing gen- erally have some scheme for doing it What is the reason for the uupractical vagueness of the Oppositionists respect- ing this important matter? Do they mean to centinue to do nothing—but draw their salaries?

The Patriot, whichis alone in plead- ing forthe Second Chamber, says the Statement of the Moutreal Witness and the Toronto Globe have no bearing upou ths Vroviuce, because our Legislative Council is elective, and because we hare herea Free Franchise forthe Popular Branch of the Legislature.

Well, here’s what the Montreal Wit- ness Says :—

“Our httle Provincial Parliaments wi h theie Upper Houses of play-lords are the lauzhing stock of the world, and now that Canada is beginning to attract attention should be swept aw*y for this if no other reason. Now that we have become men, and desire to be revarded as such, we should putaway “childest things.”

And this is what the Toronte Globe gays :—

“Certainly any step toward simplifying the machinerv and lessening the expense «f local l+-gislation is a step in the right and commen sense direction. Still it seemr difficult to see what vecessary functicn is tobe performed by an Upper Honse of Parliament of the dimensions indicated unless. indeed, it be to furnish a tangibl+ illustration, ard reductio ad absurdum, of the petriness of the conservatiein which persisis is traves'ying on every little colonial platform the grand stagery of the British House of Lords.”

These emphatic opinions of the most influential of the Liberal and Grit organs in Canada are rather strengthened than weakened, in their application to this Province, by the f ct thar our Legislative Council is elective. If the Councillors were an independent body, they might be some check—though they wouldn't be needed. But they are elected by the very same men Who possess the whole of the influence which secures the election of members of the House of Assembly They have precisely the same interests to consider, and are practically subject to precisely the same influences as members of the Lower House. How then is it be expected that they can look at public matters from a different point of view, or that their acts will be different? One of the greatest of writers in Representative Govervment says :—

‘If there are two Honses, one consid- ered to represent th» people, the other to represent only a class,or not to be repre sentative at all, I cannot think Jthat where demecracy is the ruling power in society, the second Hovse wovld have any real ability to resist even the aberrations of the firet. It might be suffered to exist in defer- ence to habit and assvuciation, but not as an effective check.’

And if this be so how is it possible that our elective Legislative Council could be anything else than it has been— @ mere echo of the sounds~a mere

| with a view to hese circumstances. Bu lin the country «districts it is practical y as free as itis hers. Supposea farmer in | Ontario owns property to the value of| $1 000 and has four sons living with him | ve aud all his sons can vote; if he has property to the value of $1200 aud has | tive sous living with him, he aud all his! sons can vote; ifhe has property to the | value of $1,400 aud has six sons, he aud} all his sops cau vote. So that, in the | agricultural districts of Ontario,—where | tarmers own holdings similiar to those | fihis Island and where the mere ‘man | servant” is, as he is here, almost un known—the suffrage at elcctions in- cludes, as it does here, the mauhood of the country,

Statistics.

Wuewn writing about this subject a few | days ago, we were under the impression that health and vital stati-ties were clearly within the province of the Domip- ion Government. We have since learued that there is a doubt about this—th»et i is a disputed point whether the collection © statistics is a duty of the Dominion authorities or of the Local athorities. The matter is, consequently, in a very unsatisfactory state; and our City Coun- cil, if they take action at all, should, we think, proceed with caution, aud with due regurd to the state of the City. Th collection of statistics by this Muaoi- cipal City or Province is quite impracticable. The work could not b done; or if dove, would not be trust- worthy. Consequently any arrangement involving merely a Central Bureau of Health, to which our local statisticians would report, would be to us quite use- The impropriety of paying, an aukuown sum as expenses tor a medi eal delegation to Ottawa is, uoder these circumstances, apparent —the more so

less.

when we take into consideration the present financial state ot thi city and the taxpayers, To obtai « satisfactory means of collecting our health and vital statistics, the

Council might well expend a consider able sum; but we cau't afford to tritter away alot of money upon a delegation which cao accomplish nothing. As the epprvaching meetiug will be one of lead- iag medical men, we have no doubt that some of our physicians would, if furnish ed with credentials, be glad to pay their ewu expenses, and give their advice on behalf of the Province “free gratis for nothing.”

Editorial Notes.

—The New York Herald remarks that “ithe most determined oppovent of woman iu her efforts to extend the sphere of her usefulness in politics, the profes- sious, or in business, hardly can object 'o her appearance in the temperance field. She is the greatest sufferer from the vice and crime of drunkenness, «nd no one is better entitled to be heard on the subject than she is.”

—The Toronto Mail Montreal corres- pondent says the deposit of $200 of a candidate for election, io ‘a county not far trom that city, has been seized while in the hands of the returning officer for debt.

Hon. Edward Blake, Q. C., counsel for Mr. Mowat, at Kincardine the other day, 3» ys :—

“He highly commended the princinle of a-bicration, and said, +s a lawyer, he won'd sdvice them (his hearers) ‘o keep out of the hands of the lawyers as long as they cowl i, wd if they got into them to get out as son as they could.”

Whereupon the Toronto Mail remarks that the Ontario Government consists of six members, aud exactly five of these are lawyers. The people of Ontario are in the hands of the lawyers, and, as Mr. Blake says. they had better get out of them as soon as possible.

—Statistics kept at Castle Garden. show the number of aliens lauding at the vreat metropolis of the great Republic trom each of the countries of the glebe. A statement of this sort covering the nine months that have elapsed sivce tue ist of January, 1882, has just been pre- pared. The whole number of foreign sieerage and cabin passengers was 377,- 073 less by 1,441 than that reported upon the manifests of the vessels briuy- ingithem. Of these there were 206,597 adult males, 104.549 adult females, aud 83.166 children who were under 12 years of age From England there came 33.530 persoos: from Ireland 45 650; Scotland, 11455; Wales, 3.446; Ger- many. 159611; Austria, 2,144; Hun- gary, 6 913; Sweden. 37,675; Norway| 13.821; Deumark, 11 342; Netherlanss, 6 606; Belgium, 815: Switzerland. 9,312; Fratice, 8573; laly, 22.505; Roumavia 56; Greece, 92: Spaiv, 1,229; Portugal 6; Russia 14913; Luxemburg, 404; Bohemia, 6,227; Turkey in Europe, 1° 5; | India, 5, China, 278; Japan, 3; British East Indies, 11; Africa, America, 803; West Indies, 1,351;
