Most iniquitous measure intended to give their opponent an in Eirand dishonest advantage in the preparation voters lists. While the Dominion liberals have been fighting to Amend repeal ibis act a Liberal government in Manitoba Hae procured the Sanction a Liberal legislature to an infinitely worse measure for thin province. The Bill Intro danced in the name . Greenway who Wai born into the political world a Koonter vamps who betrayed Hii party under Cit cum dances Bare Aew it Wai largely the advice . Joseph Martin who at one time threatened to sue the free Prass for libel because it clawed him As a Liberal and it was Dauod by a legislature that applauded the epithet As applied by one its Liberal members to Edward Blake Alexander Mackenzie and David Mills. The local election act intended As origin ally drafted to throw into the hands government partisans the Complete control the voters registration were to compile the according to their own Sweet wills while Cara was taken to so obstruct the proceed revision that it would prove practically impossible. To make sure however that the revision clause be nullified Power was taken to appoint partisan lawyers As revising officers. The opposition fought these provisions for Twenty one consecutive Honre with the result in the end forcing that provided for a possible revision. Or. Greenway and made the explanation that those clauses been copied from the act the previous session and that it was intended to pass them As they were. It May be remarked that As they appeared in the act the previous session they we quite harmless for the reason that the lists were to be so compiled fraud was practically out the question and a revision would be rendered unnecessary. But Why introduce them into the last Bill bristling with menaces to the opposing party if it were not intended to pass them the government at the outset committed itself to she Bill As it stood and vowed it would con sent to no amendments in not until hours after Daybreak when the opposition had broken the spirit the ministerial party by an All night session that the government yielded to the pressure. There is in manner doubt that it intended to Pasa intended to give an officer Power to further an election by baud the wont and and most aggravating triad. All that was re. Quire a Botosan agent candidate to declare the Chi an elector tendering vote had been frailty some the offences named and to threaten the returning officer if sluggish in Bis Zeal with the penalty Fine imprisonment to insure the withholding the ballot. The Bill did not exactly plane a Premium band Bat in left the Way open and it by the threat a Penally for neglecting the Opportunity. A More iniquitous provision we Ven Nielo was never embodied in a legislative enactment in any country in the world. The clause course we strenuously posed with the must forcing important modifications and it now stands As follows whenever any Deputy returning officer knows that fraud violence is being Practised in violation the rights electors by which undue vote Are tendered that any person la not qualified has already voted at the election and offers to vote again tenders his vote under a false name designation represents himself falsely m being the list electors Inch Deputy returning officer shall refute to give a ballot to Tuch Parson and mention thereof shall be made in the poll Lub provided always that such refusal to five a ballot to a person who actually a right to vote shall Reader the Deputy ret Raing officer liable to the pen Andy hereinafter provided for such a even in this comparatively harmless shape the clause a improper and objectionable. In is a vicious it principle in elections to make an officer who ought to be nothing More than a part the electoral machinery the arbiter As Yowho Ebal who shall Obote. He should be riven do discretion in the matter beyond employing the usual safeguards for the purity an election. It is monstrous to think that any official appointed by the government to conduct an election which is to pronounce its own acts is to be set above the Oters list. The opportunities for fraud under this provision by an unscrupulous officer axe practically unlimited. He May refute a dozen fifty ballots to As Many actual electors Rod if prosecuted under the penalty clause All be bus to do is to protest that he believed them guilty. Bad As it is now however it is Al cat innocence itself in comparison with the clause As originally drafted. The opposition in Manitoba is making the same fight for honest Lista and fait ballot As Tho Liberal opposition at Ottawa. The Greenway Martin liberals Manitoba Are making a Desper Aba Effort to carry the next elections and the free press is curious to eee How Many those loudly protesting liberals who follow Laurier and Cartwright will support them in their iniquitous election act. Id is curious to me whether with them liberalism is a principle merely a name. Communications. Or. Campbell in error. To the editor the free press.

Third Avenue car train went northward and As is always the Case there were More men than women sitting and More women than men standing. Among the latter were three grand Street shop mouthed Al Oligy Aud pretty. They made no secret what they thought the men who would not Rise and them their seals. It was not complimentary. At Twenty third Street a remarkable specimen your smooth faced cigarette smoking fur collared reached the end his ride arose and with an elaborate Smilo offered Bis seat to one the urls.

The Bill precisely m it we introduce j. But even if True the registration and re vision Elf Uaea what shall be 1 he relating to Deputy resuming office t that too was hopi Ltd from it former act we it y thu will Bear Little investigation. The election act this Sehion purports to be a consolidation All previous Aoto relating to in the draft Clautea taken from other Are credited to those acts. Am for example the one in question "125. Whenever any Deputy Retner Nirta officer has reason to know believe that fraud violence is being Practised in violation the rights election by which undue vote Are tendered that any person is Nob qualified ecu already voted the said election and offers to vote tenders his vote under a false name designation personages represent a himself falsely an being the Lut electors Deputy retuning officer under a penalty two Hundred dollars in default pay ment imprisonment not exceeding twelve shall refuse to give a balt to such person and mention thereof shall be made in the poll liuti.u49 vic., 29, s 138." this purports to be Section 138 the elec Tion act 1886, and As such is cited in the draft f last session and duly credited. In other words the government pledges its Honor that the Claua prec sely As Here printed in the act 1ss6, and that word for word it is incorporated in the new Bill. Now what do we find turning to Section 186 that act instead enjoining the Deputy re timing officer under pains and penalty Irto refuse to give a ballot to such a it is enacted that be shall administer the oaths authorized by this act to such voter whether be be required to do to not by any vastly different thing m opposite indeed m Light from Dart. Aeu. The government deliberately Perpe trates a forgery and seeks to deceive the Tisot petting with the belief that the clause with the forgery inserted has been the Law aineel886 in the act 1880 the Deputy re cer is enjoined to do proper tiling Ltd if he had reason to suspect had violated the Law it was he Fluty to impose the Xep tatted by not. The provision was intended to secure Hoaeae election but As altered in the Bill that was introduced during ust session it although there in Lesi feeling excitement the surface the relations Between Newfoundland and great Britain Are becoming More and More a brained the ancient Colony has been patient under Long buffering but appears now to have reached the limit its endurance and has stubbornly Resol Ved that there shall be a final and Outing settlement the disputes Misander i standings with Fiance. A Little thing in itself May be but the silent contempt with which the Island legislature received a Cable Dis Patch from lord Knutsford threatening Imperial legislation if the modes were not accepted by Newfoundland is significant an angry feeling Aud a settled purpose to Force an Issue. The modes Visendi waa arranged by the colonial office without consultation with the Island government and curiously enough provided that each party should be allowed to do what the other regarded As a grievance against itself. There was Leas objection to accept this temporary settlement the part Fiance As that country was accorded All it could expect and it saw in the arrangement the possible commencement a prescriptive posses Ivory right. It waa mainly this account that Newfoundland accepted it under protect last year and is seemingly determined not to accept it at All this. It was to head off Imperial legislation virtually establishing Tab modes Visendi that the Island delegates recently proceeded to Lon Don. It would Auer however that the col onial office is resolved carrying out its policy and to permit the leisurely negotiations with France it will insist the accept Ance the modes Visendi by the islanders if Nob in one Way then in another. These Are the perplexing bequests a very ancient treaty. When France ceded Newfoundland to Groat Britain the retained the use about 800 Miles the West and North boasts As a convenience in prosecuting the Gull fisheries. Her fishermen wanted the privilege to land and dry their fish and the privilege was Ivo corded. The Gulf fisheries were exhausted generations ago and therefore the conditions which were the basis that provision the treaty have entirely changed if not wholly disappeared. But France engages in the Banks fisheries which were not known at that time and the right to land and dry is still maintained. More than that the right to take Possession parts the coast for permanent structures used in connection with the lobster fisheries which were not dreamt until Long years after the Date the treaty is also asserted. The United states makes it a serious complaint against Canada that we insist the letter a clause in the treaty 1818, Bioh denies to the vessels that country those Ordinary fights and Civili ties which modern commercial Intercourse everywhere acknowledges. In other words it is maintained that As the circumstances have changed since the treaty was Mada in 1818, the conditions the treaty should Orange in Accord with them. Much More should it do so in the Case France for when the treaty utre Ohi was made great Britain had no particular use for the coast Newfoundland and permitted France to occupy it temporarily As a matter Conr Kesy. Since that time Newfoundland grown into a considerable Colony its West Ern Shore is now importance to it while it Long ago ceased to Bear that relation to the French fisheries which was the excuse for granting the it.
