On general farms ducks can be

short time the country will have
new legislature. 1t will be new
III more sense than one. Not only
will it be new in membership, but
it will be only a little more than
half that OF the unWieldy body
twice sent about its business. and
the basis of the franchise on which
1t IS to elected will be slightly
different. The first difference is
one that has been effected in de-
ference to general public opinion.
The old bodies undoubtedly were
Tar too large for the effective
II ansactiOn Of business. and the
suit was that they actually trans
acted an irreducible minimum Of
business. The second is a differ
ence that has been suggested by
the composition of the old legisla-
ture. and it is to be admitted that
1t will tend to make the body
more conservative. This however.
is no advantage, for the late par
lament was far too radical to be
q safe body. The new body will
not have quite the same powers in
the drafting Of the constitution as
the old body had and this also is
q gain. 1t is almost without pre-
cedent for the legislature to be
entrusted with the drafting of

Ills not. however, In the statu
tory differences that 1t may be
anticipated the chief change will
be found. The new parliament
will come into being with all the
advantages Of the disastrous eX-
perience Of predecessor that had
not the wisdom to learn from its
own mistakes and it is hardly
conceivable that the new body
will be guilty Of the same blund-
ers. The country IS In no mind
for repetition Of the inanities Of
the twice-dismissed parliament,
and it is to expected that the
country s temper will show itself
in the election. Even from the
most truculent parts it is not like
" that very truculent members
will be elected, and if they are
they will probably find the gen
eral temper Of the body in which
they will sit different from their
own.
The Importance Of the new leg
islatlre it is impossible to over
estimate. Presidents may come
and presidents may go; prime
ministers may follow their exam
pie; and cabinet may be as short
lived as they please: but in a
democracy the main representa-
tive body is the essential part Of
sence for a short time may be I'M
important, but it is the one de-
