"\( 4s power, would remove this iniquity from the statutes of the land. khe is showing, by his introduction of this measure, that he is bound to redeem this pledge. Now, Sir, I have an idea that the principle, laid down by the Government, is a correct principle, I believe it is a wrong thing to disturb county boundaries. An hon. member. Why ? Mr. Landerkin. _ I will tell you why , if you will listen. What I have to say may not be right, but I have my opinion on that subject. The peoâ€" ple live in localities throughout the country ; the first idea of the children and the young Eeorle is that tbe'y are living in a school section. cvery school section belongs to a city or a rural municipality. _ They go trom the school section to the township, or the village, or the city. as the case against the Government for breaking their pledges because they had not enacted everything that was laid down in the platform of the Liberal arty, in the first session. Now, we fl(':ll' nothing about broken pledges, tor, session after session, the Governâ€" ment are redeeming every pledge that wes made and every plank that was placed in the plattorm of the Libâ€" eral party. _ Consequently, hon. genâ€" tlemen on the other side have not a single word to say in regard to that. It is to be noticed that when the Govâ€" ernument are attempting to redeem the pledges that they made, they are meeting with the most strenuous opâ€" position of hon. gentleman opposite, which would indicate that they do not desire that the Government should reâ€" deem their pledges It appears to me that the Government would meet with their approval it they did not redeem their pledges, and, in this connection, it is very .desirable and it is very prorer that the hon. Postmasâ€" ter General (Mr. Mulock) should introâ€" duce this Bill, because, at the great national convention held in 1893 in the city of Ottawa, that hon. gentleâ€" man introduced the resolution stating that the Liberal party, if returned to may be, as they grow up, and inâ€" crease in knowledge, and they look upon the township as their home. Whenever a change is made in the township, or when a township is reâ€" moved from the county in whicllpl they were born, they look upon it as an outrage upon the family circle. The township is identified with the county; they go from the schools to the townâ€" ship councils, from the township to the county councils, from the county counâ€" cils to the provinces, from the proâ€" vinces to the Dominicn, and step by step the people are identified with these successive stages in their proâ€" gress and learn the first lessons of loyalty to their country from the inâ€" commendation of the people of this goustry and of future generations, it is the fact that T¢ contribuated to their Ehe Durham Acview, ©Mr. Speaker, I wish to say a few words upon this questin before the ni tion is pat. In the discussion that has taken place a good deal has been said in detence of the lill passed in 1882, and, also, in defence of the Bill passed in 1891. (Mr. Wallace) proâ€" noqueed the Bill of 1382 a good Bill, and said it was fair and jast. (Mr. Ross Robertson) said that the Bill of 18382 was a bad Bill, that he conâ€" demned it at the time and was very much opposed to it then. _ The hon. members for East Toronto and West York are not a united party on this question, although the bon. member for East Toronio praised the Lon. memberfor West s'ol'k because he had defeated the old Government. 1 think it there is anything in the hisâ€" tory of the hon. member for West York, that will entitle Lim to the commendation of the people of this IHE REDISTRBUTION BILL Hon. Mr. Mulock last week introâ€" duced â€" the _ Redistribution _ Bill, to abolish the gerrymander of 1382 by which the Conservative party so unâ€" fairly boistered itselt up in the Conâ€" stituencies. _ In the bulky Hansard tor Juiy 3 (containing 3V pages for onre day‘s talk) we ftind a notable speech by our worthy representative, vart of which we reproduce : Dr. Landerkin Makes an able Speech in its Favor. Thursday, July 13, 1899. SECOND READING CARRIED. "In Grey, the township of Arteâ€" mesia was taken from the centre of East Grey and was added â€" to South® Grey, because it gave a Conservative majority of 150 or 200. One township was left at the lower end ot East Grey, and the people of that township, in order to go to the other part oF' the constituency, had to pass through the township ot Artemesia. ~This was not done altogether for the purpose of strengthening the LibemP party in East Grey, but purely for the pu of equalizing the population ; for gro- ton, which was at the lower end of the county could have been added just as well, but it did not suit to do that, because Proton wouid have given a Liberal majority; but the district of East Grey was very largel Conservative, and they could have a{ forded to add the township of Proton. If you examine the statement which I have given to the House, you will find that all these changes were made purely for the purpose of getting a party advantage, and I appeal to hon. gentlemen if it is not a duty on the part of this Government to correct this injustice, and to restore county bounâ€" daries, and thus cultivate that spirit of loyalty and devotion which the peoâ€" ple of this ccuniry should have toâ€" wards their t wnships, their counties, their cities, cheir towns, and their villages. . . . .. We do not know what divisions the judges may make. Leaving that work to the judges is the honorable British practice, and I understand that*the hon. gentleman was devoted to Great Britain and the Empire. The sincerest form ot adâ€" miration for Great Britain is imitation of what she does, and the hon. gentleâ€" man should be willing to follow the example set in England and preserve the county boundaries. Here follows an elaborate 5â€"column table occupying 4 pages showing population before and after the passâ€" ing of the gerrymander Act, the towns or townships moved, etc., atâ€" fecting no fewer than 42 constituences in Ontario, our own Sourth Grey being one, where Artemesia with an adâ€" verse majority of about 150 was thrown in to turn the scale against the Liberals. ‘The table implies an immense amount of research and we intend to keep it for reference. Reâ€" suming after giving the table, shows the results in Simeoe, N. Bruce, etc. and handles our own County thus : i the development of national lite. _ It is unworthy of a political party to take a township out of a c unty and place it in another county so as to disadâ€" vantage their opponents. _ It is not fair play. _ It has been the custom in Engâ€" land of the commissioners appointed to act in these matters to le in:tructed never to violate county boundaries in the divisions that are about to submit to the House of Commons. _ That is one reason why I am opposed to the law that exists toâ€"day. I am opposed to them because there was no fair play in it I think partie should manifest fair play, one to another, and I think, when I show you the changes that were made under the Bills of 1882 and 1891, the House will agree with me that fair‘ play was not the guiding star of the party that enacted that legislation, and that it was not intended to give tair play to their opâ€" ponents as it was their duty to have d ne. The hon. member for West York said that the Government were afraid to tace the people. In the thirtvâ€"cighth or forty | byâ€"elections, that took place since the last general elections, every riding aeclared in support of the Administration with the exception of two. â€" Only two constituâ€" enees out of thirtyâ€"eight or forty were favÂ¥orable to the O]vik,;a‘ilicm, or, at least, the Opposition only held two seats which they had held previous to the byâ€"clections. _ Now, I think this shows to the hon. gentleman, or should show him that the Government are not afraid of the people, but that, on the other hand, the Opposition are afraid of the people and are afraid to appear before them in divisions formâ€" ed on prineiples of fair play and upon county limits. 1 have here a list, w hich I wiil give to the House, of the changes that were made under that Act, and, I think, it will be found to be accurate on the whole. The House will observe and the people of the country will see that the Government are not introducing this measure one bit too soon. I propose to show the changes made in the electoral diviâ€" sions in Ontario by the Redistribution Act of 1882 which divisions are afâ€" tectecd by the Redistribution Bill. I will give the name of the electoral division, the population in 1881, the flopulation after the passing of this ill the nature of the changes, the Bill, the nature of the changes, the population of the divisions transferred in 1882 as per the census of 1881, and also the votes cast in the elections of 1878. sP'.utiuns of ‘the manicipality, from the schools, the local councils the loâ€" cal parliaments, and the House of Commons, until they become imbued with the teeling that the township is their home, that it belongs to the county and that their homes are part and percel of it. Their highways are concerned in the administration. The administration of justice is concerned ; the work of the county councils is identitied with the county and they pass along from the township to the conunty. and it is worse than bodyâ€" snatching to take a township from the county to which it Lelongs and place it in another county for the purpose of electing some one to Parliament that you may desire to have elected. ‘This is the intention otf the gerryâ€" mander, and I say, it is prejudicial to maliios, Valuable Farm Property in the Township of Glenelg. w â€"S~ M t Age ~â€"._â€"â€"â€"_.â€"= Discovered by a Woman.
