Inequalities of representation are bound to appear under the old system. liitlings cannot be kept at an even unit of population, and as is well known our Ontario unit of 1'ept'esenta- tion is fixed by Quebec, which by the British North American Act has " ways 05 members no matter what its population, hence we cannot increase our membership to sun a few instarr ees of over-representation. But it is pointed out, why change only Ontario? Simply because it was here the most glaring liberties were taken with county boundaries, Quebec and the other provinces except in a few districts, being thought good enough as they were. Now, when things are being simply placed "as you Wt re, " the cry is raised of violation of the constitution, gerrymander, in. iquitous measure etc. To call the re-adjustment ofthe con- stituencies now proposed and being talked over in Ottawa tt "gerrynutnd- er" is begging the question. In 1892: while the party was in opposition, this was laid down as a plank in their platlorm. With this plank not only unrepudmted bat presented from every plattonn in the campaign of 1896 the Liberals were elected, and they can- not be blamed for thinking they have a mandate from the people for bringing this measure in. The South Ontario election trial has resulted in the unseating of Mr. Dry- den owing to bribery by agents. This was clearly proved, one man testifying tlmtmhe took money from “st “lll'gt'VS. a null] ot' gm Inn-v. “ho with his lumin- m'v :mlvm tviorinets, and tt'N in the rum-”ion of 1837. botC.sides. The judges prvomptly voided the election and a contest 15 again inevitable. Mr. Dryden must face the electors once more, and his friends will hope that n. clean election will see him re- turned again. What legislator will be bold enough In introduce and crystallize into law a measure that will make the man who receives a bribe equally punish: able with the man who bribes, and let that punishment be disfranchise- ment. Too often it is the briboble element in every constituency that determines the result. No true lover of his country can wish victory obtained by fraud and the saeritiee of honor, and we are glad that Mr. Dryden, our popular Minister ot Agriculture, is clean himself. though too warm friends have ac- complishcd his unseating. ll H PREHY MAY WEDDING.
