Prom Our Oku Correspondent. Ottawa, June f>.���The long expected and eagerly anticipated Redistribution Bill was introduced in the House of Commons on Friday afternoon by the Prime Minister, and it was found when the details were disclosed, that nhe Government had literally - carried out the undertaking pre- viously given, for in'the changes proposed, county,boundary lines have'been rigidly adhered . to; and, where the number of electorate in any city or county necessitated its division into two or more ridi7igs such a division is placed in the hands of a commission of judges^whose duty . it will be to make an impartial and fjqui table adjustment thereof. The bill deals with Ontario principally for the simple reason that ��� the injustice and inequalities of .the past .have principally affected this province, though two or three of the more glaring inequalities in the Province of Quebec ���anU also be rectified. NOT A CENTRA!. REVISION'. ' Recognizing the< broad .principle that, in the ordinary course , of events, a redistribution should only be necessary after each decennial1 census,���a principal i which will be urged by the Opposition us their chief criticism ol the bill and one which theo- j't ariilically the Government does not dispute,���no'.geheral'planof i? redistribution has been attempted- nor has such been .contemplated at any,time. , Had it not 1 O " I, been for the notorious gerryman-" f; daring which characterised the [ acts of,18H2 and L39y, 1 here would ha vo been no' thought of revising the electorate boundaries at f.his time. Of the Ontario coiin- Hies 2a'remain undisturbed while thu municipal, counties are", restored in 19 counties and throe , supporter or opponent, the Premier holds the highest repu- jtaiion for courtliness and consideration, -'Mr. Speaker" said Sir Wilfrid, '-'the hbn. gentleman, [Sir Chai'les Tupper, hasjnstitold lii.s lhat he is shocked and horri- /,ied a.t my conduct on this occasion, 1 tell hi ni, very solemnly, [that J am not shocked nor horri- med at anything he says, scandal- Ions as it was,, as it always is: rf Lie lion, gentleman has ������gwen I proof more than once, thisscason [that.he is no longer able to discuss, that he is only .able to scurrilous as to be unworthy of Billingsgate", and when a moment later Sir Charles ventured to interrujjt the Premier with a denial of a statement he had just made, Sir Wilfrid answered:��� "I am accustomed to that, whenever a charge is brought against the hon. gentleman we hear from him that there is not a word of truth in it. We have won bye- elections byrj corruption .and by the lavish use of money private and public, Sir, there have been more than thirty bye-elections won by the Liberal Government since the general election in 189(5. These hon. gentlemen opposite tell us today, when there is no responsibilities behind their word, that we have obtained these victories by the lavish use of money, private and public. How is it that they have not "the courage to, bring a single case before the courts? Not a single election has been contested. They have had their opportunities to prove their charges. The courts were open to them to establish their allegations that we have used money wrongfully in the bye-elections, but in this as in all other matters they have failed to,act." , A MISFIT CRITICISM. ' One criticism that Sir Charles Tupper offered on the Redistribution Bill does not appear to hang very well together. Having expressed his conviction that :the bill had been introduced because the Government was afraid to. go back to the country under the old condition, he proceeded to repeat the old story that they had won the last election by the ''Janus-faced policy"'"of promising coercion in Manitoba to Quebec, and no coercion to rOntai-io. Subsequently a straight'' policy of no coercion was that followed .by the Government': "and .therefore, according *to Sir Charles Tuppcr's own statement, faith was kept with Ontario and brok en with Quebec. But the redistribution bill leaves Quebec practically, undisturbed, while it, readjusts the constituencies iii,Ontario. There appears, to be something a little out of plumb some- ���- * , ii.. where in the argument: perhaps Oppositionists who'are yet to speak on the debate, .would lie good cuough to make their leader's position a little more clear. OUR . POOR RUINED 'COUNTRV. The trade returns for the month of April are' out and still there is no indication of that inevitable disaster and ruiu which was to follow.the advent of the Liberals to power., On the other hand there is the fullest evidence that that, progress and prosperity to which wo are becoming accustomed, is growing and gaining in strength and volume mouth by month. < The , value of dutiable goods imported for home consumption during the month amounted to $8,0112,7!M upon which duty to the amount of *2. :!.'.���<>, 41 was collected: free goods' tir?4,U8l,'{00. and ��� coin and bullion $;J8,079, making "the total imports$12,4a2,117: as compared with dutiable goods $(>,- 0S2, KM upon which *1,7r>:j,(;r>:J.SJ0 was col loci ed: free goods $o, .">.">0, - 124. in coin and bullion S-liifi, KM, with a total of $1U, 127,(i;:4 in April 1898 or increase of !?2,:J24,- 4S;-j.

The exports for the mouth show a falling ,off of $209,292. The ten months exports to April 550th, show a decrease, of between #4,000,000 and leaving the not increase of trade for the ten months of the year at $14,220,491.' How to Run a New-paper. The newspaper business is the only business that everybody understands, says.an exchange. We do not know how the secret gets out in every village, town and city in the world. The office boys must "give " it away. However, the cat is out of the bag aud theretis no use denying it. The man who carries in the wood and coal will stop and tell you how to do it. Every business house in every town has someone about it who knows all about how a newspaper should be run." It-makes us sad to think- about it. but0we suppose it will ever be thus.

An express service has also been arranged over the Crow's Nest route to-the Kootenay country, whereby the journey to Nelson will be made in 40 hours and Rossland in 43 hours.
