Our advices aie from Montreal to the 18th, and
Kingston to the 18th inst.
On the 18th the Provincial Parliament was to
meet in Kingston. Sir Charles Metcafe returned to
that city on the oath to prepare for the opening
| thereof.
We annex few extracts from the last Canada
From Montreal Herald, Sept. 2s)
Our readers will find below an analysis Of two
very important acts which it is understood will be
submitted to the Legislature at the approaching SEES
| sion OF the Provincial Parliament
II will be seen that it is the intention OF the cab
net entirely to remodel whole system of Judicial
administration; fear we must say to revolution
ize and not to reform it. and, whatever other con-
sequences NAV follow the adoption of this plan by
the Legislature, it is abundantly evident that Will
at once create an enormous amount OF 'spoils" 10
be distributed among the adherens OF the Ministry.
This feature in the scheme we cannot but view
with distrust, and think that provision should
have been made by which the holders of Offices
der the existing system, should have been secured
by analogous Offices under the new.
Want OF space prevents our, at present, consider
ing the details of these most important proposed en-
acments, but we shall take an early opportunity of
revertng to the subject.
From the Kingston statesman.]
Our contemporary, the Montreal Courier takes us
to task for saying Upper Canada "must" have the
Seat of Government within what was formerly her
boundary. We repeat the assertion not in anger,
we assure our contemporary, but coOly and dellbe-
rately. We can prove BY testimony the most unde-
nlable, that the Seat of Government being within
The limits OF Upper Canada, was condition OF the
Union. And we now tell our contemporary, that if
that condition is violated, the Union is dissolved I!
Let him mark our words
From the Kingston Wing OF Sept. 2sl
Mr.. Judah has been returned member for Cham.
plain county by majority OF 800 over his opponent
DR.. Trester Mr.. Judahs election is happy refu-
taton Of the ungenerous calumny uttered at the ex-

in practical form, that the French Canadians do
not insist upon religious or national qualification,
when their candidate came recommended to them
as holding liberal principles.
Among late arrivals at the seat OF government,
we notice that OF Mr. Gibbet Wakefield, member
of the Provincial Parliament for the county and
people OF Beauharnois (ht representative OF such
people,) who has been waited upon, petted and re-
ceived by all sorts of great folks. Verify society
has no moral tone in Canada, when il can exchange
courtesies with such afellow.
1t is in every body IS mouth to-day, that the Hon
Mr. Harrison has resigned or is about to resign his
employment under the government.
| AS the Clergy Reserve Fund is to be subject OF
considerable importance before the provincial par
lament, we will give few facts relative thereto :
The annual spends and divisions pay able Of this
fund to the clergy OF the churches OF England and Scot
land and to any other religious bodies or denominations
Of Christians to whom the crown is pledged is thus
merated -
To the Bishop, Archdeacon, Missionaries, Re-
Tics. .Ifz4 10
Presbyterian Synod Of Canada and Church of
Roman Catholic Bishop and 1900 90
The exceeds Of this charge above the proceeds Of the
clergy fund.- is derayei out of the consolidated
| fund Of the province.
1t is here to be that three sects only received
the benefit of the fund.- whilst there are fifteen sects
in Canada. AS the remaining sects are com.
posed Of large portion of the population of the Pro.
vince, it is clear that difficulties and troubles of
serious nature will arise unless there be equal d.
vision Of the money. And how can England grant
this and preserve the inviolabiyof her own church?
Apart from this important question, there other
matters affecting the Canadians that will yet lead
to some heart-burnings if nothing worse. The total
population of Canada West in 1912, was, according
to the census, 1885, 055 being increase lS41
of 34043. This population will not permit the Home
Government to pass them by without SO much as a
nod 1t is already the remark that the Queen seldom
or never mentions them in her speeches, but Rrasps
all she can. Thanks must be given for what is
| taken.
