From the social standpoint the inaug- i’ural function was of special brilliancy, Ipartly owing to the fact that this was {his Excellency'siirst appearance on a T'similar occasion. The speech into (the, throne contained no startling sur- prises, the must important announce uncut therein being that a redistribu- tion measure Would be a principal "tern of the sessions program. The ipl‘ugressive condition of affairs in the [Yukon wrs given a special notice, {coupled with the two intimations (already given in those letters, viz. (that the district was paying its way, ll"? receipts therefrom more than inieeting the heavy expenditure, and ithat a Government telegraph line to Dawson City was in course of con- struction Changes In The House. The mutability ot all things mundane was startingly emphasised in the fine proceedings ot the House of Commons. The first incident after the speech had been read in the Senate was the in- trodttetion of no less than seven new members, who took the places at representatives who had been in their seats in nearly every case almost to the closing day of the last session, but even more eloquent of change was the wreath which lay on one of the desks and the Premier's fiinit speech made as it was for the purpose of paying a tribute tothe memory ot three well.. known members removed by death; within a very brief period. All who) have heard the Premier on occasions such as this will realize the impressive- ness of the incident, and the assembly was equally touched by the pathetic cialorsation of his remarks by the venerable leader of the Opposition. Senate Reform. Whilenotniotirrnisrl in the speech lroni the throne the question of Senate Reform will more than likely lind a prominept p'ace in the proceedings of the session. Whether it does or not it is certainly limling a prominent place in the nchpapcrs, and is everywhere leading us a topic of debate and dis- cussii n. While we are accustomed in Canada to clean cut and very definite dividing lines in most political issues it is interesting and significant to note how absolutely pronounced is the line (i demarcation in this case. The policy ofthe Liberal party as enunci. atod at the Ottawa convention in 1893 is being most emphatically endorsed in every part ol the country. The resolution defining that policy reads as tollows o--"'), present constitution of the Senate is inconsistent with the Federal principle in our system of government, and is in other respects detective, as it makes the Senate in- dependent oi the people and uncon- trolled by the public opinion of the country, and should be so amended as to bring it into harmony with the principles of popular government." The Same Policy To-day. This is exactly the line upon which the Premier framed his proposed amendment, namely, the introduction of a joint vote of the two Houses when a difference oiopinion arises between ‘them, and the manner in which the proposal has been discussed and en- dorsed everywhere is the clearest possible indication that the Libeial jorty are a unit thereon. Of course Ias to the details there are differences of opinion it would indeed be remark- , able if, in a party composed of hundreds lot thousmids of thinking- men, there (were not many opinions as to the best i method of procedure in arriving " the ‘common object, that object being to bring the Senate into touch with the democratic inihtenees ot an advancing age. or to bury it quietly and decently l where it might rest among the mem- l ories of the dear, dear past. The Opposition on the other hand. evidently recognizing the rapid growth of democratic sentiment and appreciat- ing the. value ot such a check upon the popular will, are hanging on in hysterical desperation, breathing forth into heroics upon the "Keystone ot‘theConstitution" end the "Found- ation otConfederation." Of course to some the sample proposal even to discuss the matter is suggestive of sacrilege and any attention paid to these will be time last, but between these irreconcilables on the one hand and those who are prepared to reform, even to the point of extermination if needs be, on the other are quite a numberof the electorate who are an- donbtedly favorable to action being taken, but only upon the direct man- date ot the people. The Mandate Has Been Given. OUR OTTAWA LETTER. The posiliui is undoubtedly well taken and is eheeriully conceded by the Liberal party. In 1893 the cen- vention unanimously adopted the resolution quoted above and upon it went tothe country in 1896, and that plank with others in the party plat- form was overwhelmingly endorsed by the electorate. But Sir Charles Tupper has declared that the majority of toe Local Legislatures should also pronounce thereon. Since that con- vention, Ontario has had two local elections. in both of which the Party of Senate Reform has been sustained by a handsome majority of Quebec Province has held one election with the result that a Conservation Premier was compelled to resign in favor of the present iberal administration, sup- porters of Senate reform. In Nova Scotia and New Brunswick, the party has been so emphatically endorsed that the combined Opposition in the two Legislatures have barely tn1ffieient numerical strength to form a eorporal's guard. In Manitoba the election held since the Ottawa convention has great ly strengthened the Government, strong advocate of reform. while in British Columbia. though it is frankly admitted that Federal politics have. little to do with the matter, for local issues rule, the Conservative adminis- tration of a year ago has given way to a new Government composed most largelyot men who are supporters of the Ottawa platform which includes the plankqnoted above. In lace of tin so facts, the unanimous endorsation ortluitpoliey by Federal and Local Legislatures without one dissenting voice that man must he blindly prejudiced who cannot admit. that the Government has received emphatic endorsation. Was There a Promise. The Executive Committee of the Dominion Allianee has paused a 1esohr tion, though put. with any striking unanimity, ehwessinw, "Strong dis, satisstaetion at the refusal of the Government to carry out the promise to take such steps as Wtuld give effect to the expressed Will of the people." Untortunately for the soundness of the position assumed in that statement its fundamental accuracy can be very saeeessfally questioned. A very great deal has been said respecting this alleged "promiseto pay" but so far there is an absolute failure to respond to the challenge to produce evidence of such promise. On the contrary the Government when questioned in the House declined very definitely to "go it blind," upon the sttitieient con- tention that no intelligent undertaking could be made in the absence of a knowledge ot what the result of the vote might be, when such an infinite variety of possibilities existed. Those unfriendly to the Government had of course fondly hoped that it would get into to an inextrible tangle, but they forgot that the man or Government is not easily trapped who has an honest desire to carry out an honest promise, definitely given without reservation or qualitieatiom That promise was, that the people should be given an oppor- tunity to express their opinion at the polls. That was all the promise made, that promise has been kept in every sense of the word. -e'riaeamsr-.:!
