Winnipeg Free Press (Newspaper) - September 16, 1875, Winnipeg, Manitoba The of the following a translation from be Metis under this title. The article in question is of such an extra Ordinary and bigoted character tha it several of has arrested the attention of our leading exc Haiges in the older remarks of be Metis regarding or Mcdougall Are. Just about untruthful vile and As anything Ever put into print or Olse our knowledge of the gentleman is terribly defective. According be Metis he must be unwise imprudent Dishon est and the very opposite of what we always previously heard him accredited with. But what makes him worse than All this in estimation of be Metis is that his religious fanaticism is without this simply Means that he is a protest ant. To believe that or Mcdougall has always been a zealous missionary at or _ was thu it setting out originally was no doubt but from she on As As older lived Means at reckless rate tace usual results followed and humiliation. Taking the estimated and actual sex of 1874 and 1875, we find that in 1874 the estimated expenditure was while the amount expanded was or nearly bargains. That estimated. Have double taken but that be Metis can adduce a solitary circumstance in connection with his work in Tho North West warrant the assertion that he will take advantage of the Mission entrusted him by the government proselyte among the we disbelieve. To think that or Mcdougall has too High an appreciation of his government commission endeavour turn roman Catholic or other christianize with whom this Mission May bring him in Contact methodism if however he should casually hint christianity protestantism or oven methodism the thousands of pagans that he May meet we suppose it would entitle him the superlative denunciation of be Metis. We know that is Likely do this itself but even should he we can Promise him the commendation of All Canada with the exception of the extreme bigots of be Metis stamp and they Are few indeed. An Exchange puts it in this Metis is very much grieved that government should have entrusted a methodist minister Rev or Mcdougall of the the closing year of the first parliament Butr any previous year during its exist ence would illustrate with almost equal Force the reckless rate at which this Young province ran into debt. Before the close it Tho first parliament it was found necessary Money meet current expenses and Supplicate the Federal government for better the Stern Parienti. Refused and lectured Manitoba severely through her delegates upon her extravagant not nay corrupt course of life. The pro Rince promised amendment. The first parliament expired. A new elec Tion took place with retrenchment and Economy in every department of the Public service As the leading Promise the country. Tho present administration have not been Able expenditure quite within the estimate which for 1875 was the actual expenditure will reach we understand something like As against Over Tho previous year. The expenditure has thus really been reduced wonderfully but Many Public interests have suffered considerably in. Conse Quence and do what May it is found impossible bring Tho expenditure within the income which last year was Only from the Federal govern ment. Under Tho or the pressing demand on nearly All Burrows office Opp. Donaldson s rebellion in the West crushed Waii Nuci it have arrived a Canadian Iota Niiori.

Cheaper than by any other route offers for Eile City lots the British lion raised and looking after of 1 Saskatchewan with a Mission the of the North West instead of selecting a roman Catholic Ecclesias tic for the be this As it a roman Catholic i As Well otherwise qualified As or Mcdougall been selected for Tho work we think no Section of the press would have in weighed Asle Metis has. Fol lowing is the translation regret learn that the reverend Mcdougall methodist missionary of Tho Saskatchewan has been entrusted by Tho Federal government with an official Mission the of the North West. This name of Mcdougall will always be of ill Omen us. Those who Are acquainted with Tho reverend Eon Leman All agree say that Worso appointment could not be made. The read Mcdougall is of that kind of men who shove themselves Forward any How with Little regard for truthfulness. To effect his purpose Side for expenditures Meo Tho require ments of a rapidly growing population it is creditable the present administration that they have kept the expenditure Down so Well. They have made an honest Effort administer Tho affairs of the country efficiently with the Means 60 f0et by 132 and so by 100 on both Eides of the at use and fanaticism is without bound.
