N o sovereign, either living or dead has worn a crown with more honor to herself than has Queen Victoria, and none have been permitted to wear *it so long. Her Most Gracious Ma- ijesty is 81 years of age to-day, and she has graced the throne for a period of 63 years. During all these years ushe has always cast her influence on. the side of peace, and her noble ex- =-ample as a wife, a queen, and a ‘mother has had a telling effect in the cause of morality and Christianity not only throughout the British En:- pire but in all civilized countrks throughout the world. In the natnr~ -al~‘eourse of events it cannot be ex- pected that she will be spared ft r many years to rule over the Mother land and her scattered colonies, Lut rte-day. the anniversayv-of her birth, "Men and Women, in all parts of the «Empire, will raise their voices in no zompty words when they sing. “ God ésave the Queen, Long may She Reign." fying the confirmation of sales of fluids for taxes, where the person who originally claimed the land has “never opposed the sale or the appli- 1cation to confirm it. Since the bill 3has been introduced by the minister lseveral important further amend- ?haVe been suggested, and these are lreceiving the careful consideration of the Department and of the Gov-1 ‘ernmen t. Little wonder is it that there was great rejoicing on Thursday evening when the news was wired that Mafcking had been relieved after a siege of about seven months. “Throughout the long months of the bombardment the Boers outnumber- ‘ed the British soldiers by about seven to one. but the brave garrison, under Baden-Powell, said from the first :that there would be no surrender, and in spite of sfekness and scarcity - of food, they kept their word. The courage and endurance of the British (soldier is [roverbial throughout the world, and never was there a better test than the siege of Mafeking, brought to a. close a week ago. Baden-Powell is the lieu of the hour, and few will begrudge him the honor which he gallantly won in farofi‘ whattle-fields. A short bill of considerable im- ‘portance to the settlers in the North West has been introduced by Hon. Mr. Sutherland. to amend the North West Land Titles Act of 1894. As the law now stands executions against “land have to be recorded with the registrar, but no provision is made for similarly recording discharges or n-‘enewals of writs. The consequence is that the record books in the differ- ent land titles offices in the Terri- tories continuerto show large num- bers of writs recorded from time to 'time since 1887, when the Torrens system of registration came into force, many of which have expired for want of renewal, or have been paid ofi‘. The first two clauses ofi 5Mr. Sutherland bill provides for the ‘registration of renewals of writs and of the discharges.

Surely th's was sufi'icient to satisfy anyreasonableluanoftheGovernment’s anxiety to unearth and punish any wrong-doing that might have occurred but they went further and consented to allow the. matter to stand over unâ€" til another session in case develop- mentsmight occur in the meantime. Again Parliament met lmt it was weeks before anything was ln-ardof the mutter, and when it was again brought before the house it was done in such a' way as to make it afore- gone conclusion that. the Government would be. compelled to refuse the (le- mand form: inquiry. the Opposition having by their oWn neglect, inten- tional or otherwise, lost all reasonable opportunity of having the. mutter (liaâ€" pom d of during the session demanded all kinds of special departures from the recognized modes of procedure, which the. Government Very properly declined to concede. Then all the new evidence they could produce and such evidence was understood to be a sine qua non ofifnrt‘her 'chedings. Twelve months ago last February a bye election was held in \Vest Huron and Mr. Robert Holmes was elected as a Government supporter. By the middle of March the Conservative party became possessed of certain in- formation Upon which they professed ‘ to believe that agreat. deal of crooked- nesshad contributed to Mr. Holmes’ success. It was nearly four months later. however, or within a month of the close of an exceptimmlly long and \vearisome‘session before. the nmtter washrnught- to the attention of the House in any way, shape or form. Then Mr. Borden of Halifax brought the mzitter up and demanded an in- quiry before the committee of Privi- leges and Elections. Although this was the least satisfactory method of dealing with the charges it appeared to he the only one available at that late date aud the Governinth at once granted-the request, and gave every 'frcillty to the Opposition to prosecute their inquiry. placing no ilnit upon the money expended and summoning scores of witnesses at; the request of the Opposition although it. proved that it was money thrown away inasmuch as they had no ma ter- ial evidenqe to give.
