Redistribution and DissaIisfactIon.

OTTAWA, Que, April ia copy of bill
about to be introduced in the Manitoba legis-
lature by the premier there. providing for
the redistribution of the electoral divisions
of that province has been placed in the
hands of one of the Manitoba members here.
The bill provides for the increase OF the
number of constituencies from thirty TO
forty, and the redistribution gives the in
creased representation TO the Western por-
ton OF the province principally. Al
though ten new constituencies are pro
posed there is a proposition for ANAL
gamating some of the old ones in the eastern
portion of the province, so that the western
sections really get the increase named. The
French representation will, however, be prac-
tically unchanged, and this, too, uotwith-
standing some Of their present constituencies
contain less than 100 resident voters. The
interests of local governments, however. lie
il keeping friends with the French. aud IL
seems they propose TO do so at the risk OF
considerable inequality in local representa-
ton in English divisions where there are
over 500 resident voters in each and in some
Of them $4,000. Winnipeg is given but two
members, with resident voting list of 10000.
