'Iho political ultuatlou Is thus 1 (bniplotelyioversed, fot In tho liomodls- I Bolted iu Decombor tho follow eis of He. , MuidEti had n majority of twunty-boven. i It is evident that tho constitutional qucs- tlons luvolted lit Tuesday's oloctlon were ; lrxt sight of, nnd that tho toters simply tlr-cineil Ihciusulves called upon to suy whether in their opinion tho ox-Minlstor? ; woio implicated in tho Ilaio des Chulcure ' coii.iptlon taso. That tho latter isuo o- ( i-luslvnly ocoupled tho publlo mind is shown ' as dcnily by tlm return of two of thonc- ciiboil Ministers as by tho defeat of the ji-Ht. To provn thW tvo need only recall tho t o)lulous oiprnxsod by tho Commission of ' Inquliv. It will bo lomembcrod that tho j , three Judgis composing tho Commission to I whom tho clintges ugnlust tlm MtiicJtn Cabluot wcio referred, mndottto jcports, ' ouo signed by Judge Jirrr., nnd the othor by his twocollonguos. Doth reports agi cod v In opo9lng nnd denouncing tho theft of t ithlch Dai'.vvu nnd Akmstiiono had been guilty In tho Balo des Chalouis affair, ' tidgo JirrrE, hovvotcr, held that thoro was no ovldonco boforu thi Commission con victing nuy nf tho Ministers of n guilty knowledge of thoconupt baiguin. liuttho 5 ; majority report, with which tho verdict j ot tho doctors Is curiously coincident, f I discriminated between Mr, Mrnoir.it him- I eolfnndMr. Sheuyn, his Provincial Tiens 4 J uror, on tho one hand, and some of thnli j oollongucs on tho other. Tho furthest tho - majority roport ventured to go in fixing '' complicity upon Meiiciek, was to say that i ho received eomo of the stolon money while ' j admitting the absence of any proof that ho v 1 Luew 11 was stolon. As to Mr. 8iir.iiv', it 't 1 M not )?retondcd that tho ellghtcutoM- Br&il(&.y -tML.mrtfifoi,Ut, conco of complicity had boon discovered. It Ih procleoly tlioso two Ministers whom tho voters absolve of guilt so far at biicli a verdict Is Implied In tholr reelection. On thn other hand, uccordlng totho majority roport, HoniDoux, Mkrcirh's Attorney Qoneral, compromised himself In attempt ing to discount I'acaud'8 notes in Mon treal; &IARLU9 JiANonMEn. l'lovlnelnl Sec rotarj', was acquilntcd with tho details of tho transaction and unquestionably le colvod monoy from 1'acauji; and Duhamct., Minister of Crown Lands, actively sup poitcdtho IJalo des Chalours transaction. Every dno of tho Ministers thus distinctly Incriminated by tho majority report lias been defeated. Tho signlllcnnco, therefore, of tho Quobco cloctlon Is that tho totors will not permit nion against whom thcro Is pioof of cormptton In ofllco to lopresent tho people. Tho determination docs them honor, and it is to bo hoped that thoy may adhero to it in tho future. Tho only thing to bo regretted is that tho totors did not form such a wholesome resolution earlier, foi much tho groitor part of tho provincial debt was accumulated by Consertntltos, and ovldcnce has been lopontcdly picsonted of bribery, embezzlement, and corruption on tho pmt of Conseitatlto official? in tho province. As regards tho constitutional questions which tho totcis lost sight of, tho lric ldents of tho last threo months proto that tho Constitution of tho protim-o (if Quolwc can Iki violated with Impunity, piovidc-d tho violation Is committed by n Conservative.

The dlfTercnco iu tho situation lb thnt it was a Liberal who w.ia guilty ota high-handed net in H7S, nnd It was i a Conservative Pintinci.il (Internment which was tho victim of tho piocved Ing. Loud and llorco woio tho Conserv nllvo denunciations of tho iiuconstltutloii.il conduct of tho Quobco Lieutenant-Governor: and In compliance with their pro tests tho Governor-GenornI dismissed Mi.

In December, 1S91, however, it was u Conservative Ltoutcnnnt Govcrnor who unconstitutionally dlsmibeil a Liberal Provincial Cabinet commanding a majority In tho popul.u branch of tho Legis latuio. Did tho Governor-GenornI dismiss ldm foi committing an net identical with that which brought the penalty on his Lib eral predecessor.' On tho contiaty, Loid Stanley of Preston and tho Dominion I'rv miei, Mr. Aiinorr. li.ivo exerted nil tho powers of the Canadian gcneial Govern ment to sccuio tho vindication or condona tion nt the ballot b ix of tho Illegal conduct of tho Consorvativo Lieutenant-Governor. Theyliaveattainedtheli end by keeping out of sight tho constitutional issue and conllu Ing the attention of t ho electors to the ques tion whether thodischarged Minlbtors weio guilty of compiiclt" in a corrupt bargain. The outcome of the Quob-c election blg nlllcsthat lwodllug will M-ldnm bo tolerated when it is committed byLibei.ils. It also signifies thit tho piiaclplo of Ministerial accountability to a Legndntuio must neter be violated by Liberals, but can bo broken by Conbertatltcs at their dibcietion. Tho fuct justify . i further lufereiue. that tho provision of the Iiiitlsh North Amorica act that there bhall be one session of tho Quebec Piovincial Legislature In otery cai. has become a dead letter, seeing that thedcll nnceof it by Lieutenant-Governor AMirns does not seem to havo exorcised tho slight est Influence on the Quebec electors.

Tho Alliance party will notnecept tho Prohibition principle wlilch tho Prohlbltlon lxts are bound to maintain, nnd tho Prohibi tion party desiron to chanco tho principles upon which the Alllanco Is toundod. Tho rep resentatives of tho two parties hnvo met to Kcthorlnn number ot local conventions, but in no caso have their been able to dis cover any way of cooperation or acree upon anything that is ot fuiidamonUt Importnnco to elthor party. Thoy had tho same kind of oxporlcnco nt tho fat. Louis oonferonco of last month. Knelt party desires tho backing of tho othor. while both parties aro hostile to ono another. It is evident, thorofore.
