the rights Of ninorities were not sufficiently
safeguarded. Thus q conflict was preclpita'ea
between the two houses, which the Ministry
sought TO settle by dissolution and an appeal TO
the country To this the King would not assent,
and so the Ministry resigned, and has now been
replaced with another, formed chiefly of Con-
servatives, but including three Liberals who be-
lieve in a system of minority representation.

longed, but in the near future it Will unquesu3p-

terest that this reform has been forced to the

Norway, for it is we'll within limits of possi-
bility that If the franchise in Sweden had been

SUNDAY IN CANADA.

If the bill now under discussion IN the Do
miniOn Parliament becomes law. Canada VIII
have on its statute books the most stringent
Sabbath legislation in the world. This measure
would make 1t unlawful to sell anything except
drugs and railway tickets on Sunday; TO trans
act any business or TO employ any person, en-
cept in, works of necessity and mercy, for
money; to conduct games or performances OF
any kind for an admission fee; to carry pas
sengers on any sort of amusement excursion;
to charge an admission fee to any park or pleas
ure ground; to shoot at target or other object;
to sell foreign newspapers.
Exceptions are made, allowing work in con-
nectiOn with divine service: for the relief OF
the sick; work in respect to telegraph and tele
phones; essential work on any Industrial process
Of such a continuous nature that it cannot be
stopped without serious injury; the conveying
Of travellers and the continuous passage TO
their destination Of trains or vessels in transit
when Sunday begins; work after s p. M In pre-
pairing the Monday edition of newspapers; the
delivery of milk and ice; the work of domestic
servants; and the operation Of international
or interprovincial electric car lines. Some street
railways, which depend largely upon their Sun
day excursion traffic, fear that they may be
forced out of business.
The bill is the outcome of the efforts of the
Lords Day Alliance, which is largely noncon-
fOrmist in its makeup, but which has cOnsid-
erable sympathy and support from the Anglican
and Roman Catholic communions. Some pro-
visions of 1t, such as those prohibiting excur-
SiOns and the sale of foreign papers, seem
harsh and disngenuous but there is undoubt-
edly-perhaps owing to the preponderance OF
the Scotch element in the population-a much
stronger public sentiment in favor Of strict Sun
day observance in Ontario at least than In
any part of the United States It's reception
by the inhabitants Of the Province Of Quebec
is likely to be hostile, but as a government
measure it will probably be passed. If it goes
through at this session, summer visitors from
tina United States will be wise to shape their
itinerary so as to do no travelling on Sunday.

.oEvrrEwEws AeREENEvrg N POLITICS.

A "'gentlemen's agreement has been entered
tnfo by the Democratic and Republican poll
s1cians OF five OF the leading counties OF In

sng campaign. There is 70 be no easy money
at either headquarters. Not a dollar is TO be
spent, so they contract, upon purchasable votes
This Is an important reform IN Indiana, for
the venal vote there. owing TO past corruption,
Sc exceptionally large. Nor is the man with
bis politics for sale to be corrupted indirectly,
for no one known TO be purchasable Is to be
employed about headquarters or IN taking polls.
Indeed, no money is to be spent in taking polls
except in certain designated wards, and both
parties viii pay the same wages and employ
only honest party men. Business men Of stand
iDg and character are TO be secured as inspec-
tors and judges OF election, so far as possible.
while the old regular election day hirelings
hunger for their usual jobs. The Democrats
are going 20 ask their speakers to turn on the
spigOt OF eloquence without money and without
price. Will it be campaign-ef silence a mere
dumb show OF the virtues Of these disciples
OF Jefferson and Taggart? Or will the we'll
springs Of OratOTy flow unbidden by the GUS
fOmary grateful hOnOrarium? Such Spartan
contempt for the mere dross OF patriotism is
not % be expected in others than the native
sons OF Indiana. Speakers from outside states
will have their hotel bills and railroad fares
paid. Thus not only is the market TO be taken
away from the man with his vote TO sell, but
