heads:
/. The Post has managed TO prove very

formed their duties is highly creditable TO

an ignoble end. Its statements Of fact are
not to he depended upon in any respect. Its

Mr.. MERCER is entirely right. Annexa-
tlon would put an end to a great many
evils from which the people OF Canada are
suffering. 1t would add hundred per
cent. to the value OF Canadian farms. and
stop the perpetual drain of emigration from
the north side OF the frontier to the south.

A Parliamentary Conflict in Japan.

The telegram announcing the dissolution
OF the Japanese House OF Representatives
marks an important step In struggle
which began almost with the first meeting
OF the Diet In November. 1890. The struggle
is In no sense revolutionary and is proceed
ing upon strictly constitutional lines. The
Constitution provides that the Emperor
may dissolve the House OF Representatives
but requires that new elections must be
held and the House convened again within
i've months. The House OF Peers is in it's
nature continuing body. the elective peers
being chosen for term OF years. Conse-
quently it is prorogued until the meeting Of
the new Diet.
When the Diet first met. the political par
ties OF which IL was composed were In u
confused condition. No one OF them had Il
majority. and even In the ranks Of the
more important fractions dissensions exist
ed which seemed to render anything like
united policy impossible. II there was
9unanimity upon any point, 1t might posi-
bly, have been found in the desire To hold
the Cabinet strictly responsible for all its
acts. Although the Constitution makes the
Cabinet responsible to tho Emperor, and not
to the Diet. anattempt was made from the
beginning to institute Ministerial RESPONSE
bility upon the English parliamentary plan.
The first point Of contest was upon the
budget, with reference to which the Diet
has extensive powers. The Government
submitted the budget. and 1t was immedi-
ately attacked, A committee appointed by
the House OF Representatives made sweep
ing reductions. amounting In the aggregate
10 ten million dollars. TO this the Govern
ment would not agree. but n compromise
was effected. by which reduction OF some
six millions was established. Tho Diet
finally adjourned. but with the intention OF
renewing the struggle at Its next session.
This probably affords the explanation OF
the present situation. In the first COM
promise the Government promised, SO far
as future reductions were concerned. to
meet the views OF the Diet as far as posi-
bio. But IL soon became evident that econ
omy had been pressed to it's utmost limit,
and that no further reductions could be adj
mitted at present. This afforded an oppor-
tunlty for tho Opposition. and just before
the meeting Of the Diet last month an i'm
portant coalition was formed between the
Constitutional Liberal and the Radical
parties. the avowed purpose OF which was
to return the budget to the Executive with
out discussion. on the ground that the
= promise to effect further reductions. i'm
plledly II not expressly made. had not been
kept. Meantime the earthquake occurred.
and. In addition 10 tho ordinary expendi-
lures. which IL had been found impossible
to reduce. the Government was confronted

To THE EDITOR OF THE SuN-SD; In nm
extraordinary editorial which you published in
the beginning Of August last. you called at
tention to the awful calamity impending over
Russia. and predicted an amount OF suffering
and loss OF life too appalling to be credited.
To-day 20.0O0.OO0 OF starving people invoke
the sympathy and cooperation OF the civilized
world. Within the next six months more
Russians will perish from starvation than have
died In all her wars. Private aid is powerlcss
for their relief: its proportions are too 81
gantic.
On this day that makes the whole world kin.
cannot you. who have predicted so accurately
the condition Of affairs suggest some method
for the relief OF our suffering brethren?
Yours truly. WILLIAM II. ARMOUR.
