In the exeepticnal, and indeed um precedented circumstances under whichethe House is summoned, it is not Surprising if the Premier's action in seeking the advice of Parliament on matters that have very unexpectedly arisen, should be warmly criticised. While three or four speeifie subjects I are mentioned by Mr. Hardy in his: memorandum, as necessary tor the House to deal with the one question which will overshadow everything) else in public' interest is, whether" special constables appointed for dutyi at the polling booths on election day i are qualified to vote at the said i, election. Owing to the very close? vote in a number ot constituencies at) the General Election last March, a de. I cision or. the point may materially| affect the complexion oi the new House, and it is therefore almost im- possible to secure a calm unbiased con sideration ofthe ease up on its merits, l press and people alike discussing it), front the standpoint of their own I political leaning. As a matter oi fact, I however, there should be no political I side to the matter. it is simply the I question ot‘the right of a public scr-i vant to exercise his lranchisc. TheI electini law properly provides that no I person who is employed tor pay or} promise ot reward in connection with I an election by: the candidate “or by i any other person whomsoever" should I be entitled to votes, but makes specific I exception in favor ot returning oftieets I and poll clerks, who are public oilicials. While. it is perieetly true that constables are not specially in. cluded in that exception, their right has never befcre been questioned, and with the fall knowledge ot all parties, these ottieers have exercised their tran- _ chisc for the past, thirty years. Constables are Public Otiicers. I It is objected by those who profess to believe that the eontirmatiou of the icoustables in their rights will benefit the Liberal members, that the proposal to do this would never have been made had not the. matter been so vitally importantto the Government; but it must be remembered that the question would most certainty not have been raised " all had not the vote been so very close in many constituencies, that the Conservatives believed that they could snatch an advantage by raising this new and altogether unexpected point. To the keen legal mind there may be a distinction between return. ing oftieers and poll clerks who are specially qualified, and constables whose right until now has been just as Ottawa, July 16, 1898. All current topics, political, social, and otherwise, are overshadowed this week by the sudden calling together of the Local generally allowed, but to the ordinary citizen who views matters from the common sense stand point ot equity and accepted usage, they are all in the same class and should be subject to tlw same regulations. It is claimed that constables are often the nominees of the Government candidate, but not one " hit more so than are the return- ing oilicers and poll clerks. A Precedent. The only precedent that can in any way assist in reaching a conclusion is that which occurred in 1887 when the samequcstion arose in the Dominion House, and Sir John McDonald intro- duced a bill specially qualifying el. cctinn constables, not because they lrad not the right before, but because the doubt had been raised and it was tlesimbleto set it (lotinitcly at rest. llml thcrclwcn n donht, no om- will mmusv that. tlm mmsnn- would have sup” c'scitl Had therebeen a (mum, nu um: u... suppose that the measure would have cscapcul criticism, but so generally was the principle recognized that the bill was uuanimously adopted and al- mmt Without dvloatc.

Ogilvie in i succession to Major Walsh as head of g the Yukon administration has been re- i ceived with an unbroken chorus of ap. ' prcval throughout the country. Some ”here are who endeavor to minimize the effect (f so excellent tt selection by ',,' impugning the motives of the Govern. fluent and declaring that the appoint- _ meat was forced by the alleged wrong- _', doings of subordinate officials. As it l happens Mr. Oglivic was chosen sane time before any oi these stories were I ' put into circulation, and how much or 1 how little weight, they have had with . the Government may be judged from :), the fact that prominent amongthe new l, administrators advisc rs is one man at 1 least who was signalled out for attack f by the inventors of the aforesaid i stories. This reorganization has (evidently been conducted on exactly l the same principles as all previous acts of the Government in the same, Coll- ,nection, namely, the selection of the‘ 3 best available men for the work to be i entrusted to them. 1; British Columbia in Line.
