Each ,time_the premier thus goes to his excellency, he goes from his colleagues, whose loyal support, he says, he has not had, and in whose breasts “ jealousy and A determination to destroy his usefulness were firmly rooted.” Mr. 1 Gladstone says in the North American Review that the prime minister “must be loyal both to his sovereign and to his coilesgues.’ We don’t question his loyal- tyto his sovereign, but Sir Mackenzie hates his colleagues as he'hstes poison, and he wouldn’t be a man if he didn’t.

But that was when the dogma. of royal personality as- serted itself, and ever since the regency, in 1812, it has been accepted as s maxim that there must be uniformity and politi- cal unanimity in the cabinet. It matters not that the cabinet is filled with a nest of traitors, or that among themselves they lead a perfect cat and deg life, so long as they present an even front in fur- thering government measures and carry- ing out its polloy.. Political agreement and mutual responsibility is all that is es- sential. But how there can be political agreement when there ls no political con- fidence is a thing we should like to know. Mr. Foster and six others “retired . . . . for the formation of s government whose premier could oommsnd the confi- dence of his colleagues." Sir Mackenzie is still the premier, end Mr. Foster snd the six others no serving under himâ€"him in whom they ssy they have no confidence.

But why are Sam and Jim so anxious to get the goygmnselut out of the hole? Well to stand by the Dominion cabinet in the matter of coercing Manitoba. “Do your own thinking,” he said to the Orange lodges, and atraightway the Orange lodges, ‘ taking him at his word, proceeded to pass resolutions condemning the bill and re- pudating James L. Now Sam Hughes, M.

Speaking of the tory members who do not see their way to sup- porting coercion it has this threat for them : “Whether actuated by conscien- tious dislike of the measure or the human instinct of sauve qui pent, that is apt to seize men in political as well as martial I emergency, those gentlemen may rest . satisfied that no convention of the liber- l al‘conservative party Would excuse such a 1defection as would necessarily lead to a defeat of she ministry, and handing over the reins to Mr. Laurier as an inevitable consequence.

We do things difl'erently, of course. in Canada in this respect. The law eocie- ties ought to take some note of Sir Charlee’ opinion. Reform in the manner of nom- inating and appointing judges is a press- need. Even now the name of one of thehighest judicial officers is being band- ied about as that of a possible tory min- ister.
