more business-like course should . be

the right to carry their measures and.
give full Odeo! to their public policy.
There are two measures which the.
opposition seem disposed to ,go any
lengths' to defeat._ One of
these is the proposed purchase
of the Drummond County Railway,
by lease' ‘of ' which the Intercolonial
has been extended to Montreal. The
other measureto which strong objec-
tion is taken is the redistribution bill.
Both measures will undoubtedly pa=s
-the Commons when a vote can be
reached upon them. What good ob-
ject can be served by obstructing
these measures 'I
The re-distribution bill is loudly de-
nounced as a gerrymaizder. We fail to
see the justice of the denunciation.
The bill is by |.o means an ideal one.
If restores county noundaries in the
main. ~It certainly does not equaliee
the number of electors entitled to re-
turn nne member. It leaves great in-
equalities in that regard,and it creates
other inequalities. An instance of the
lnequalitiesleft as they are is found
in New Brvnswick where Westmore-
lilld, with 8,159 votes and Resti-
gouche with only 1537 voters Will
each return one member. '
Objection may also be urged to the
creation of doublémember constituen-
cies, giving each elector in such divi-
sions the right to vote for two men,
whilelhe rule is that individual elec-
tor s`h`all vote for but one V representa-
tive. But the main object of the bill'

Nor do we think that the changes
bf°°sht about by the re-distribution
bill are likely to give to either party
any considerable advantage. _
Ono object, doubtless of the opposi-
tion and obstruction against the
two measures referred to is to stilien
the Senate so as to cause the defeat
4! one or other of these meas-
ures in that body. The wisdom of
ouch action must be doubted by those
who have considered its probable effect.
The Senate will take un unusual and
questionable course if it interferes in
a matter of redistribution of the
Commons seats, a matter directly
aifecting the Commons exclusively.
And in iegard to the proposed rail-
way purchase, that seems to ns a mat-
,members returned to their houses-
Mere parliamentary itactizs, especial-
ly of the obstructive sort. have never
yet gained much favor for any party
