Liberals claimed that the Tupper
scheme would require the next clec-
tion, which is expected to come this
year, to. be held under the Conserv-
ative distribution.of the year 1892.
OF course they call this a jerryman-
der, and accuse Sir Charles of the
ulterior motive of desiring to post-
pone what they consider a fair dis-
tribution.

As the Liberals won the last elec-

they ought not to object to making
another, fight on the same terms, if
the country is so strongly in their
favor as they claim. On the other
hand, Sir Charles’ plan has. the
great merit.of taking redistribution
out of politics and making it-a mat-
ter of judicial decision on principles
fai both parties.

To make a redistribution within a
year of the decennial census is em-
inently unfair to the. West, where
the rapid. growth of population
would fairly increase the representa-
tion in parliament. British Colum-
dia in particular would suffer injus-
tice from ‘a: redistribution on the
basis of the last census, for this
province has experienced an increase
in population greater, probably, than
that of'any other province. “During

the last ten-years the metal-mining
industry has, come into existence.

Cariboo has revived, and: the. Koot-
enay, Boundary and Alberni coun-
tries have. been developed.and pop-
ulated. Under the old census, the
new. population. of these sections

| would. be cither unrepresented or

would have representation based on
mere guess work. . Under the next
census, their representation would
be based on actual figures as to
population.

Doubtless, delay till after the cen-
sus would cause an increased repre-.

PROMISES ARE CHEAP.

The platform offered by Mr.
Martin as that on which he would
go.to the country is a mixture of
broken promises of the Semlin gov-
ernment with new promises made
by a man who has been false to
every government of which he was
ever a member. He owes his pres-
ent temporary elevation to the viola~
tion of a written pledge .to support
the redistribution Lill, Though the
people have no cause to regret the
result of his bad faith, they will not.
be willing to place any trust in the
faithless one. That Mr. Martin has
ability, no one denies, but such
ability, combined with such utter
contempt for principle as he has
consistently. betrayed, makes. him
all the more dangerous to be en-
trusted with political power.

Mr. Martin’s platform is such as
might have been expected from a
political advehturer. It isa drag-
net to catch votes from every ele-
ment of the poputation except the
thinking, public-spirited men, whom
he knows he cannot fool, He

evades the eight-hour question, for,| ?
e : “| whether or not the miners of Ross-

which he must share the. responsi
bility, by proposing to submit it t
the people for their vote. He pro-
poses to build government rail-
roads in the face of the failures ex-

ion. of the West as compared
with thé East and would to that ex-
tent reduce the influence of the
East in the federal parliament. . But
it is to the West mainly that new
population will come, and to the
Wesi we must look for the increase
in the aggregate wealth and popu-
lation of the Dominion, If the gov-
ernment wishes to attract men and
money to the West, it must prompt-
ly give them their due share of rep-
resentation in federal affairs. With-
out this, the inducement to settle
the West will be diminished and it
will suffer from Eastern men’s ig-
norarce of its needs.

The West can better put up with
anew parliament elected on the
basis of the present distribution
than have its representation under

fan immediate redistribution held

down to the basis of the last census
for the next ten or twelve years.

A FEW QUESTIONS.

As the gravamen of Mr, Curtis’s
charge against the employment of
special constables is that+they are
foreigners, a statement which has.
not been proved, what has Mr. Cur-
tis to say. about the action of the

miners’ unton in Jing a del

tion under this alleged jerrymander, |.

elt

connected with the line which the
amal, at

bill. Towa just missed it by one
vote, being almost persuaded,

The cheers with which the people
of Bloemfontien greeted the hoisting
of the Union Jack are an evidence
that they are sick of the Transvaal
alliance. As a factor in the war,
the Free State forces no longer ex-
ist, though a few irreconcilables
may trek to Pretoria. :

So long as French loyalty is
strong enough to contribute soldiers
who fight and die for the flag in
South Africa, it ought to satisfy
the most exacting ‘imperialist, who
should remember that the strength
of the empire consists in unifying
the races, not in perpetuating sharp
racial divisions. *

EDITORIAL NOTES.

The-Cape Times says that a novel
method is adopted for guarding the
Boer prisoners on land at Simon's
Town. Round the camp two lines
of electric wires run—the first to
apprise the guards of an. intended
runaway, and the second, called the
death ‘‘line,” to arrest the progress
of any prisoner who might have

ded in ing the first line.

The most positive movement for

the removal. of, Mr: McInnes as
lieutenant-governor is being pushed
by the Provincial Rights association
by the circulation for: signatures of
its memorial to parliament with that

object. This association is a non-

partisan body and can therefore take
constitutional
raised by the governor's. official

up the

acts, without any suspicion of party

bias.

The signatures secured are
not those of party men, for suchare

“Resolved, That a copy of the
memorial passed by the council of|
the Provincial Rights association of
British Columbia in reference to the
conduct of Thomas R. Mclnnes,
lieutenant-governor of this province,
be transmitted to the colonial sec-
retary of Great Britain, and to ev-
ery one of the premiers of the Can-

premiers of the Australian colonies,
with the view of directing their at:

provincial autonomy. from party in-
terpretation of the British North

pretations coming from the supremé
court of Canada, which, this coun-
cil believes, commands the full con-

resolution be also sent to the Right
