VVEDNESDAY. MARCH 22, 1899.
THE SENATE-
When the corrfederation was form-
ed the constitution of the country
was framed by the representatives of
boah political parties. Leading Con-
servatives and Liberals in Canada,
Nova Scotia and New Brunswick join-
ed hands to carry that measure and
shaped the terms which were crystal-
lized into the British North American
Act. Among the provisions of that
act are those which idetermine the
constitution of the Senate, the num-
ber of its members, how they shall be,
apportioned among the provinces,their
mode of appointment and the life
tenure by which they hold their posi-
tions. _
It is to be observed that the
Liberal party, equally with the Con-
servative party is responsible for the
basic act which determined the status
and powers of the Senate. And we
think it fortunate that no one party
but the two great parties in Canada.
are thus responsible for the great im-
perial charter by which the Dominion
was constituted. It was not a mere
“union upon parchment” which might
be torn up or set aside at will, but a
solemn and binding compact to which
the leading statesman and represent-
atives of the country had set their
hands as pledges of -agreement and
'unity of purpose.
No doubt the Senate has proved
unsatisfactory to one of the great
parties in Canada. Long tenure of
power by the Conservative party gave
them opportunity to appoint so many
of their friends to the Senate that it
became overwhelmingly Conservative
in its composition. Such being is
political complexion it has quite
naturally dealt in a friendly spirit.
with the measures of successive C.\n-
servative administrations. It has
also, sometimes, dealt in a hostile and
partisan spirit with the measures of
.successive Liberal administrations.
“Hence there has arisen within the Li-
iberal party a. desire for Senate reform,
-or in other words a desire to restrict
‘the powers,or alter the constitution of
the Senate.
Thereupon the question arises,
‘Ought one party be permitted to tear
down, or materially alter what was
'constructed by agreement of both
lpartiesi Ought there not to be be-
lllind any question of Senate reform
evidence of such a general consensus
of opinion and agreement among the
people of Canada in favor of such a
changeas was appnrent when the
Senate was first called into exist-
ence 'l .
If we look abroad for such evidence
today what do we find? In a section
of the Liberal press t-here is, indeed,
a loud call for Senate reform, but with
little agreement as to its general
scope. Two of the provincial legisla-
tures-those of Ontario and Nova
Scotia.-have resolved that the con-
stitution of the Senate ought to be
changed. Sir Wilfrid Laurier has
That. Ace; was passed by the Im-
perial Tarliamcrit at the request of
joint addresses passed by the houses
‘l of assembly and legislative councils
of old Canada, Nova Scotia and New
Brunswick when those legislatures
possessed plenary power 120 Speak fOr
the people of these provinces. The
greater half of the powers the provin-
_ cial legislatures then possessed have
becn talzen away by the federation
act. And even now it is very doubt-
ful whether in a single province pos-
sessing two legislative chambers the
rpper branch can be induced to join
in a resolution calling for Senate re-
form.
How then can Sir Wilfi-id possibly
isecure such an expression of repre-
sentative opinion in Canada in favor
A of his plan of Senate reform as will
move the Imperial Parliament to pass
the required amendment to B. N. A.
Act? He may pass his address
through the Commons but the Senate
will reject it, He might appeal to
the people by a plebiscite on the ques-
tion, were it not ‘that he has utterly
discredited the verdict of the people
_ in the plebiscite on prohibition.
It would seem therefore that there
is at present no “open door” for Sen-
ate reform, nor is there likely to be
unless that body should be temptod
to interfere in regard to, or
,defeat Esome measure which it
is the especial province of the Com-
mons to settle and determine. An
election bill, or a bill for the redistri-
bution of electoral seats might furnish
such an opportunity, and by interfe
,rerce with such a measure the Senate
'might foolishly ‘weaken its present
almost impregnable psition. A
The true remedy for the troubles
1 caused by the Senate to the Liberal
party is for the party leaders now in
power to govern so honestly, wisely,
and economi :ally that a grateful
y country will give them a prolonged
term of power. In less than the
eighteen years in which their prede-
cessors held the reins of power the
iLiberal party would then easily ap-
point enough Senators to give thorn.
control in the Senate. This is. a
somewhat slow but a perfectly legiti-
and commendable way for Sir VVil-
frid to obtain a. reconstruction of the
Upper House.

Mr. James Paterson, 52 Prlnccsl ave.,

just nine years of age, has been troubled
with asthma almost since -his birth, which
1 has been continually growing worse ln splte
of all the medical aid we could procure.
Our doctor bills have been very lawre each
year ; neither mysetf nm- my wife have had
g full n-lght"s sleep durring thc last year of
his trouble, having had to poultlce and give
him medicine to keep him from choking.
We heard of a. neighbor who had been cured
by Clarke’s Kola Compound and resumed to
try lt. with the result that to-day c -r child
is completely cured, not having had an
attack since taking the second bottle, al-
most a year ago. He has grown very fast
since and is now quite strong and nealthy.
We fell very grateful to Dr. Clarke for the
discovery of this wonderful r-vnedy, as lr
` has saved our ehlldra lite." Certitled cor-
