In a few weeks the public will be edied with the spectacle of some fourscore gray-haired Senators, supposed to represent the matured wis- dom and solemn dignity of Canadian statesmansbip. gravely inquiring for weeks into the unsavoury details of these domestic scandals. Can any greater waste of time and public money, any more ridiculous disproportion in .the relation of means to end, be conceived of? Surely, whatever may be thought-of the need of a reform of the Constitution of the Canadian Upper House. it is high time for a reform of its functions in this respect. At first thought it mi ht seem a pleasing indication of the hig tone of social morality in_the Dominion, that but ve inst_ead of fty such cases are await- ing adjudication. But this source of consolation disappears on the reflection that this number is kept at a minimum` by the excessive costliness of the process Surely if it _is right that separation should bevgranted even for the one unpardonable sin against the sanctity of the marriage tie, it is but meet that in a democratic country the road to release should be open to the poor as well as to the rich. In any case the questions of evidence are uestions for a court of justice. not for a. (house of Parliament. ' sum the rad the cd revmwrv m 'rna'-orrrite. The condition of London's poor, which has lately beenthe subject of newspaper comment, the British metropolis has `directed attention to the same sad phase of city life in other centres of population. The wretchedness and misery of hundreds of thousands of starving human `beings in the large cities, both in Europe and America, is beyond the `conception of those who have not witnessed it. The New York Graphic shows that the'misery in London cannot surpass that in New York. There is a distinction to be made between these hapless and hopeless un- iortunates. The one includes the large class that have no homes and no means oi living and do not knew when they have secured one meal where they will get the next. Their usual sleeping places` are `at police stations, out-houses, under arch- ways, in wagons, or anywhere else they can creep in to shelter them from the `open sky. Many of these belong to the dissipated tramp and criminal classes, but many are worthy untcrtunates who can nd no work to do.

On the part of its oicers the most d91.iberate_plunder and falsication of the books to conceal` lt. Among all the `instances of rascality and dishonesty of which these times furnish such abundance, noparallel can be found for recklessness and audacity. Henry Taylor, Charles Murray, Benjamin Oronyn and Walter Pavey, and others not yet named have all been guilty of conspiracy to defraud, and there seems ample evidence to convict them of embezzlement and perjury. Tay- lor is the only one now-in custody, the others having ed the country. It appears to us that there should be some means of close inspection of the affairs of institutions in which people's money has been deposit- ed. that will render this wholesale stealing and concealment impossible. It seems impossible to tell how far the reports of these institutions can be relied on, and something more 18 needed for the protec- tion of people s money from the plunder- ing propensities of such men as Henry Taylor and his fellow thieves.

' ; ' The. subject of divorce has of late been attracting considerable attention from the press, and; while the country. is still young it behooves us that its moral worth and stabilit be ' placed -on a sound and en- during asis. Now is the time to` remedy existing defects,_ particularly as the next `session of Parliament` will not be over- burdened `with . work. No A doubt the administration and procedure of Divorce matters in Canada is characterized with more respect, more iustice than that of our American friends, yet if we continue in our presentcourse the happiness and sanctitysof our homes will in the end nd a weaker protection than even the kmerican system aords. We pride our- selves on the` general administration of our laws,` but in matters pertaining to The Senate deals entirely and alone with all petitions for Bills of Divorce. After the present roundabout preliminaries of the procedure the petition comes before it and the matter is remitted to a committee for investigation and report. Here lies one of the principal points of weakness. If the applicant or respondent have as the case may be political inuence ' he can so manipulate as to have some of his friends placed on that committee and this fact impairs a proper result. After report is made the whole Senate nally vote for the passage -or rejection of such Bill. If inuencehas failed to work in the com- mittee it is endeavored to_ be brought to bear in an eicacious manner at this Jealousy too among the mem- bers of the Senate often prevents the best Senators from being on the really impor- tant committees. Does all this impress us with the fact that all our laws are for every one alike, rich or humble -or exalted ? What we want is a proper judicial tribunal for dealing with divorce matters. like the English Court of Divorce. Failing this, and-could it be so managed, a standing and xed judicial committee ofthe Senate should be constituted with proper rules and orders for the govern- ance of its procedure in order that such matters be dealt with in a purely judicial and impartial manner, void of all inuence political or otherwise.-Cullingwood En- terprise. ' I-&-I------1?!` Divorce ail we need is political inuence. V I All-IQLI Mr..Wiman was sorely disappointed when he was not appointed to a position on the sheries question. Yet, as an out- sider, he feels that he can facilitate the work of the Commission, and, like the modest man he is, he very kindly takes Mr. Chamberlain into his condence and points out what should become factors in the settlement of the dispute. The letter recentl written by Mr. ' Wiman to the head 0 the Commission is a somewhat re- markable document, because it as much as alleged almost complete ignorance upon the part of Mr. Chamberlain as to affairs in Canada. N 0 one but a Wiman would, at this juncture of affairs, have drawn Mr. Chamberlain's attention in so pointed a manner to the Commercial Union resolu- tions carried at the Inter-provincial Con- gress. To challenge Mr. Chamberlain's knowledge of the points to be considered at the coming conference in the manner indicated, would not `hays occurred-to any one but Mr. Wiman, because other men of similar standing would have considered it questionable taste to obtrude one's opinions upon the attention of an oicial whose colleagues are pertectly ualitied to give him such advice as he nee s.

Herteeming millions-increasing, as they are, at the rate of 4;O00,000 per annum- make enormous demands upon her fertili- ty , while the land in many parts of the Empire is fast deteriorating. A stubborn obstacle to production is the scarcity of competent agriculturists. Another hind- rance is the irregular and defective supply `of motive power.

Unlike the generality otthese documents, it is comparatively short, and instead of dealing with the numberless * matters. ioreign and domestic, which some of these stats papers embrace, it is conned to a _ discussion of the tariff. It is essentially a free trade lecture, and is afair indication thaton this question the coming, Presi- dential contest will be fought. `The Pre- sident contends that the annual growth of the surplus, now amounting to over one hundred million dollars, is an evil that. demands immediate attention, that it is an immense sum taken iron: the people and put into the public treasury, and that it means a congested national treasury and a depleted monetary condition in the business of the country. He calls the tariff laws .vicious, inequitable and illogi- cal. He recommends most_ important changes in the tari`, and if they are made will to a largeaexvent revolutionize Ameri- can manufacturing and commercial trans-. actions. It has created great excitement in England, and fears are entertained that the changes proposed, if carried into effect, will be prejudicial to that country. It is a signicant fact that not one word about Commercial Union with Canada nds a place in the Message. and ought to show the people of this country into whata state of humiliation the organs -of Wiman and Company have reduced this land by their whining about our helpless and hopeless condition. It is time such treasonable sheets were gagged and suppressed. 3;" 3. ._._-E.-`.- nlnu ti-inf. nnthina will I-in.
