How They Act While Attending Their
Duties In Parliament.
1t is a mistake to think that the act
which led to the confederation Of tho
various provinces In 1867 has attained
no higher meaning in the life Of the
Canadian people than that OF constI-
tutional union, says Donahoe's Maya
zine. 1t carries with 1t a meaning OF
far deeper import-a union Of hearts,
whose offspring is oneness of patriotic
aim and purpose. or course II would be
idle to say that the Canadian people
are unit upon all questions Of vital
interest to the life and growth Of the
dominion. The geographical interests
OF Canada are so varied that there must
necessarily be at times some friction
and clashing of provincial needs and
ambitions. This is the case at Wash
ington; this is the case, too. In so small
a confederation as the cantons of
Switzerland.
