I I ‘l`ur-1 GUARDIAN has commended; the Mills Bill for redistributing the! Commons seats so far as it lays down lt the principle of restoring and ad- __ hering to the county boundaries for' electoral divisions. There are other; features of the measure which as `our readers know, we have not viewed with equaltavor. In defending the principle 4-t` county boundaries we have not been actuated by party preierences, - nd we are able here and new to demonstrate that we have excellent Conservative authority in support of our position. ` . It is true that Sir John Macdonald cut up and qerrymandered the coun- ties of Ont- rio in 1882 and `l892, but ten yea s hezore-the first of these dates, in inrro_i..cing the first general rbdlstriblltiutl bill in 1872, he laid down and .wrongly enforced the de- sirability of adhering to county boun- daries. The argument is as good to- dtv SS it was twenty-seven years ago, and we feel that the name of the deadl Chieftain will be still sufficient to_ commend the county-boundary prin-? ciple to fair-minded Conservative readers. 0.1 that occasion Sn' John Macdonald said: ' "It is desired as much as po=_~:ible to keep tne representation witt-ti the* county, so that each county tl.-tt: is a municipality of Ontarioshould b-- rep e~t sented, and. if it becomes large thong.-_ that it shou d be divided into 'idings. That principle is canied out in : te sug- gestionsl nm about to make. 'Inu rule was brtken in 1897 in th:-'e con- stituencies, namely, Bothwell. Card- well and Monck, and I do not ttiuk. on the whole, that the exper`un_ut has provtd a sucessful one. I do not milk it was unsuccessful as far as the representatives were concerned, as they are well and ably' represented by the gentlemen who now hold seats tor the conszituencies and I hope that if I am .returned again to the nr-xt Parliament I shall meet these honorable gentlemen. “But it is obvious tt t there is a great advantage in having counties elect men whom they knciv. Our municipal system gives an admirab‘e opportunity to constituencies to select men for their deserts. We all know the pt-cce=s which happily goes on in western Canada. Ayouug man in a county 'commences his public life by being elected by the neighbors who know him to the township Council. It he shows himself possessed of administ- rative ability he is made Reeve or Deputy Reeve of the count". He be- comes a member of the county Council, and as his experience increases and cis character and abilities become known he is selected by his people as their re- presentativeto Parliament. It is, I lllfhk. a grand system that the people of Canada should have the opportunity of choosing lorpolitical promotion tht melt in whom -they have most confidence and of whose abilities they are f~-ily Island. the prisoner Dreyfus is coibe brought home to have a new trial. ` It is almost miraculous that the poor fellow is alive. And now when he returns he is not to be permitted a trial in the civil courts. _He must be trial again by court martial, probably in secret and certainly by oliiceis ofthe ‘ army, designated to the position of judges by the same army staH` that has`for tive years pursued him with merciless hate. Such is French justice. It is uct that the people of France are bent on torturing the in- nocent, but that they are carried away by sudden gusts cf passion, and they have a judicial system which is frequently subordinaredto the mili-t tary power and often becomes an en- disallow this, or any other act passed by a provincial legislature. In this particular case the Imperial Govern- ment has asked the Canadian autho- rities to exercise the prerogative of disallowance. This is a very unusual step. It may be be better that the act in question shall be disallowed,but out instruction from across the water. This business of anti-Chinese a-d anti-Japanese legislation <-pens ip some very ditlicult proble'.'ns,in.t..smucn as we can hardly expect China at d Jvtpan to treat Canadians better in their countries than we treat thrir p- ople here. .At the same time wc do n--t want our fait- Dominion to be _ pverrun with a. hor ie of Asiatiij. _ _ "A Cheerful Look Makes a Dish a Feast. ” “Cheerful looks " depfnd just as much upon p/zysi-:al ‘well-being as upon natural disposition and temperament.

Hood’s Sarsaparillc is Nature’s remedy. It acts upon the i blood, and whether the seat of the dis- t order is brain, stomach, liver or kid- neys, the, purifying process of this medicine is equally sure and successful. It never disappointe. , Great Bulder-“Have used H00d’s Sarsaparilla for indlgestiou, constipation assured. -‘All that great advantage is lost by ‘cutting off a porsien of two several counties and adding them together for 'electoral purposes only. These por- tions socut off_h:tve no common interest, 'they do not meet togeth;r. and they have no common feeling except that once in tive yelrs they go to the polls in their own township to vote for a man who may be known in one section and not in another. This tends towards the introduction and developement' oi the American system of caucuses, by which wire-pullers take adventurers for their political ability only, and not for any personal respect for them. So that as much as possible. from any point ot view, it is advisable that counties should retuse men whom they do not know, and when the representation is increased it should be b subdividin _ y g ppe _ was poor.
