I:DEC.:28, 1903. , The great Commonwealth has justin- dulged in a general election, and :unex- poctedly it has left the ministry in a sad minority. Many things are different from the Canadian order down under the Southern Cross. Here our days are now at the shortest, there at their longest. A Here we elect only a House of Commons, there both the House of Representatives and the Senate are chosen by the people at the same time. Here( in Canada women do not vote while there they constitute an actual mai ority on the voting lists. Here organized labor elecrs at most two or three members, while in the Common- wealth it turns out that the labor repre- sentatives number more than either of the other two political parties. the Opposition favors a tarli! tor revenue. In the Senate ot thirty-six `memi:era the I Government has secured only six snp~ porters, while the Opposition has thirteen :and the Labor party seventeen. In the ilioase according to the dsspatches, there a are twenty seven Ministerialiata, twenty- |six Opposition members and twenty-nine §Labor representatives. Thus the Lobo: *party is stroiigest ot the three in bot Houses, while the straight Opposition. _ with double the strength ol the llinlstei- iial party in the Senate, is almost aqua i i » p, in the House.

As the Libor party is mostly re- ’ presented by new msn, without legisla- tive or administrative experience,it seem 'probable that either the Ministry or the Opposition will make terms with them andaoseoure a working majority.
