David Mills, who as leader of the Sen. ate, declared from his seat in the Upper House. that the bill was intended to repeal a gerrymander bill passed by i the Conservative Administration in l 1882. No doubt. continued the Min- l ister of Jusuee, the Government could I have secured a party advantage had l it desired to introduce a gerrymander l bill, but it had simply decided to re- giuwe the gerrymander of 1882 from r the statute hook by adhering to county boundaries in the new distribu- tion In this way they Were following T the traditions ofGivat Britain. Sir John _ Muchmald in 15.75 made tt strong plea ;l‘or the, observance of precedent by _ maintaining county boundaries in the [redistribution of seats. The Govern- The capital has once more assumed its sessional bustle and activity, and the wheels of legislation, which were set in motion by his Excellency with much pomp and ceremony last week, are now spinning merrily along with accustomed smoothness and regularity. The expectations prevailed in some quarters that, inasmuch as the session was so late in starting, it would be shorter than usual but the indications at present are all the other way. There may not be a large number of Government measures laid before the House but one or two oi them will be very hotly debated and stubbornly opposed by the Opposition, while the private bills already on the order paper are much more numerous than is usual at this period ot the session. The Redistribution Bill. The two measures that are going to censure the most time will be the redistribution bill and the Senate re~ form resolution. The policy of the government on both these matters was very clearly outlined by the Premier in his splendid speech on the address. Sir Wilfred', remarks thereon may be appropriately quoted here ..---"m" (Sir Charles Tapper) "condemns it in advance becauseto him I regret to say, and to his party, the word redis- tribution means gerrymander. There isa sinister import in the very word. He said we wanted to play with loaded dice. No, our effort is to unload the dice. Who loaded the dice, I want to know ? Who loaded the dice with the infamous franchise act ? Whe loaded the dice with the still more infamous redistribution bill? Who carved the Province of Ontario into monuments of shapeless deformity, shapeless do it rmity to the eye, and of even greater deformity to every instinct of'right and justice? Sir, the honorable gentleman asked me yesterday where was our constitutional power to pass the act We p1'olose. I answer the constitutional power of the House of Commons to undo every wrong. and to give justice to those who have surered wrong. Wed” not propose assuredly, to in- crease the. number of members of the House. but it is our aim and purpose to undo the great wrong the supreme injustice. which was done against the liberties oi the people in 1882. Let me say to the honorable gentleman that I should be ashamed ot' myself if we were to iollow in the path troddcn by himseli and his friends. We do not want any loaded dice, what we want is to have tairplay for them as well as for us. We are here in the, cou- sciousness oi our strength, and so help me God, I think we shall have that strength in the hearts ot the people but never by such methods as were resorted to by the honorable gentle- man." mwmmeme/awmwm 9 The James River Valley of North Dakota 6 OUR OTTAWA LETTER.

If the plebiscite was un- mistakablv in favor ot prohibition, the anti-prohibitionists were prepared to fall into line and work honestly and earnectly to lorward that policy. It on the other hand the vote was not large enough to warrant the introduc- tion of a prohibition measure then the temperance section of the party was pledged to acquiesce. and the question was to dis; Hit-hr iron) the menu of practical part} politics.

Should the party under such circumstances make that policy its own? Should the puny under such Circumstances introduce a prohibitory approve, Ifor one shall always treat it with the respect to which it is entitled, 1maydieertrom the Senate and the Senate may differ trom us. but at all events we do not intend to proceed in this matter by any revolu~ tionary method. On the contrary the Senate itself will be asked to perfect the work ot Confederation. not to destroy the work of Confederation, as my honorable friend has said, bat to perfect it, because, human institutions, the Senate among the rest are essent sally perleetible." The Prohibition Problem. Another matter to which the Premier gave cons‘derable attention and very naturally so, was that ot the plebiscite and his remarks thereon Were closely followed not only by the members of the House bat by a large number of prominent prohibitionists who crowded the galleries. Some of these gentle- men are credited in the Opposition press with having charged the Govepn- ment With a breach ot faith in connec- tion with the plebiscite. The Premier however made that matter very clear. “The Government' he said, “has broken no pledge to the proliibitionists because the prohibitionists themselves never made any demand. What is the history of the plebiscite? The his- tory of that matter ist-We did not make a pledge to the prohibition- ists as a class. as a body. as an association. We made a pledge to the Liberal party. We made a pledge in 1893 at the time ot the convention which was held in this clty, that if we came into oitiee we would have a. plebiscite upon the question ot pro- hibition, so as to obtain the honest, unbiased opinion ot the people upon that great question.” ment was not introducing anything novel in returning to that system. It was their desire to adopt it rule ad. hering to county boundaries which would be respected by all Govern. ments. The carrying out of this system, he maintained, would not interfere with the system ot represen- tation by population, as far as the relation of theProvinces was concerned, and that was all that was provided for in the constitution. The desire of the Government was simply to place the two great political parties on an equal- ity at elections. As to Senate Reform. As to the second great topic of current interest, that of Senate Reform, the Premier has already made clear his ideas upon that matter and he now, not only reiterated his proposal, but supports it by reference to accepted authorities, quoting the opinion of Sir John Bourinot to the effect that, "in some countries there is a union ot the two Houses to consider and ass bills on which one or the other f/ltr/fd,.' This is a useful procedent though it is borrowed from the United States." Sir Wiltred Laurier made it further evident that it was the intention of the Government to proceed in this matter with due deliberation, and by con- stitutional means, The Canadian Par- liament cannot legislate thereon but can only petition the Imperial Parlia- ment." et me add" continued the Premier 'that not only have we the intention of asking the House to ex- press its views upon the question, but certainly we intend " well to have our resolution for the improvement of' the Senate submitted to the Senate itself.
