nie oiziuiit/li. PLAN.

There can be no doubt that it was

in the minds of the framers of the Confederation Act that representa- tion of the' federal House of Com- mons should r be based ont county and municipal boundaries. It was not at all contemplated at that time to create new and artificial elec- toral divisions- . ,as was notoriously done by the successive gerrymanders. Those who may have any doubts in that regard may turn up the British North American Act, section 40 and there they will find the form of the electoral divisions which the Act contemplated. We quote :

Ontg'/rio shall be divided into the

_-counties, tidings of counties,cities,parts ot cities; and towns, enumerated in the :first schedule to this Act.

Quebec shall be divided into sixty-

live electoral districts, composed of the sixty-live electoral divisions into which Lower Canada is at the pissing of this Act divided.

Each of the eighteen counties of

N ova Scotia shall be an electoral district. The county of Halitax shall be entitled .to return two members and each of the other counties one member.

Each of the tourteen counties into

which New Brunswick is divided, in- cluding the city and ct-unty of St. John -shall be an electoral district. The city ~oi St. John shall also be a separate electoral district. Each ot those .titteen el ctoral districts shall he entitled to retuin one mt-meer.

No one reading those simple an-if

plain provisions of the _Constitutional Act can fail to see that the intention was to' have the representation based 'upon -the existing county and city -boundaries. Those had been the con- ditions existing from time irnmemor- ial down to the date of the Union, and the British North American Act simplystarted the federal represent- .ation oii the same basis. The parlia- ment of Canada was given the neces- sary powers to arrange the constitu- encies as it m‘ght deem proper, but county and city boundaries were the rule at the outset, and so remained for fifteen years down to the gerrymander of Ontario in i882.

THE GUARDIAN. believes the old prin-

cihle of representation by counties, which had existed for a hundred years and was reaffirmed by the B._N. A. Act was a sound one; that the depar- ture from it made in 1882 was un- sound,and based on improper motives, the undisguised object being to at-cure a _party advantage. It is for these, reasons that this journal endorses the restoration of county boundaries as now contemplated. 1‘he Mills Bill is by no means aperfect. measure, and we have pointed out some of its defects, ` but its basic principle is sound, con- stitutional and stands approved by long experience. a

The Examiner, which does not

'deal quite honestly with our position in their matter, points out, very truly, that in its appli- 1 cation to this Island the consti- tuencies will not all be represented in -proportion to their population. Kings will have a largor number of electors for its single member than will .Queens and Prince for their two members each. It is inevitable that -some inequalities shall exist, but that in no way eilects the county-boundary principle. There are considerations of common interest, historical associ- ation and mutull acquaintance which make it desirable that the people of of one county should act, together in |- choosiiit,-' their repi‘esenta.tive.
