The Senate is a body of obstruc- tionists; their business is to serve as a check on the pausing of lngislation they think detrimental to tha) country. They did this in the Yrikon Bill; thev did nothing more; they thought they did right. and most of the peopln think so too. Surely the insinuation has not been considered or the editor would never have allowed it to appear in print. It would be an insane lack of charity. were we to infer that all who voted for the measure did so merely on political grounds. The vote, tozsay the least, should have been, and doubtless was, recorded conscientiously by each member Indi- vidually, in the full belief that the best interest of the country were be- ing: served. All didn’t happefi to think exactly alike, and herein lies its “ol-mtructive" character. viewed from a Grit standpoint; moreover the vote wasn’t wholly on party lines. The Review said last issue:-”Thi3 body (the Senate) is largely Conserv- ative, and, not nninclined to be ob- Strnctive.” What a piece of inso- lence to insinuate that members of the Senate disregard their oaths of office, and are goxerned by their orig- inal-political prochvities, simply be- amse the majority see fit to vote against a measure to transi'er our her- itage for the benefit of party friends.
