Winnipeg Free Press (Newspaper) - October 23, 1875, Winnipeg, Manitoba Saturday oct. 28, 1875. Movie about Bex Tejett to Ems. The stand taken by us in regard to better terms is More based upon a comparison of our position with that of other provinces of the Dominion rather than upon the basis of population 01 otherwise. To lately had occasion to remind a contemporary of its versatility in refi i Cinco to this question so import ant to our province. While it goes on to explain several expenditures of Tho Dominion government on Public buildings in Manitoba it with a Mali Cious re licence forgetful that half Tho truth at times is frequently of to a air oct lie withholds facts and at tempts to keep Tho discriminating Eye of the Patiic in the dark. Why did it not come out boldly and say that when the other provinces entered Tho Domi Nion those improvements which it takes such trouble to enumerate and debit the province with were assumed by Tho Dominion and the liabilities therefor also leaving them at Tho same time Tho Crown lands where the same oxi Ted and in the Case of Prince de Waid s Island which had no Crown lands granting a certain amount of Money to Purchase Tho Lande from Tho extensive land proprietors in Tho Island Why did it not state this also let us now look at Manitoba her lands withhold from her by Tho Domi Nion sent adrift with Tho pittance of her expenses intros food yearly by reason of increase of population a Constitution thrust upon her by the Power that created a which is cum borsom.0, but which she has not Boon thus far Able to shake off on account of the sectional interests which the Domi Nion Alto Creato d. By making injudicious distinctions is it to be wondered Jit that this unhappy province should ask bettor terms of those who imposed such a Constitution on her but Whilo there Are those willing to Amend such a Constitution Tho accession of narrow minded dior ohs to legislative trusts Haw hitherto frustrated All attempts in that direction. The Wise saying of sir Francis Bacon pertinently applies to such parties for rather than see Tho country Progress in Tho Bonds of its rulers their ambition would Lead them to consummate its ruin. Had that reconstruction which is so much talked of and criticized Boon carried out in its entirety Manitoba would to Day present an undivided opinion upon this matter to Tho Dominion government reserving to herself Tho right to fight outs her family quarrels at Home and Reward those of her people with places of Trust who prove themselves faithful to hoi interests in time of need. Does. In conclusion let me add that it it not by abusing or. Norquay that he will attain that object but by trying to improve and qualify himself for the task which Chance More than Merit has imposed upon him. Yours truly oni who knows Alu. No Quay bet Ter than the blustering member for Kildonan. High Bluff oct 18, 1875. A suggestion. To Tho editor of Tho daily free press. In looking Over the final present ment of Tho grand jury it occurred to to that in their allusion to the jail of Winnipeg Ono very important thing escaped their notice Viz Tho want of a Library. If i understand aright jails Are established not Only to restrain Tho Liberty of offenders against the Law and make them atone for their offences but also to bring such influences to Bear upon them As May to calculated to make them better citizens after they Are set at Liberty. To such prisoners As May have a taste for Reading a Good moral Library would to n great advantage to effect this desirable purpose. Schools Are supported by the Public Money to make Tho rising generation intelligent useful and Law abiding. A few Hundred dollars expended in getting up a Library for the jail would to quite consistent with this principle. Tho Reading of moral and pious books would Havo a far More salutary influence on Tho unfortunate convict s mind in bring ing him to a sense of his Crimo and in during him to Load a better life for the future than Handcuffs chains and wheelbarrows. This is too Plain a truism to require much comment yet Tho Winnipeg jail is without a Library. Excepting an occasional visit from a Clergyman and such books As his Chari to May prompt him to give the prisoners Are left without anything to stimulate their moral sensibility any More than if they were dumb animals. Thio state of aft airs should to More on titled to Tho attention of Tho grand jury than some matters embodied in their presentment Tho chief characteristics of which appear to to their adaptability to political Stock.

To the editor of the press. With your permission i take Tho Liberty of inserting a few in t a Hou John Torquay in a speech recently Doi Everod by him at Rock Vood and which appeared in the Standard s impression of saturday 9th inst. Lest the base and groundless assertions of Tho blustering member for Kildonan should Foo to the world innocent parties to prejudiced by Tho barefaced allegations of the pretender i will just quote a few facts which will i am sure in the opinion of thinking men establish the standing that he ought to occupy. Or. Norquay enjoys Tho position that to at present occupies not Only with Tho consent of his party but with Tho approval of his constituents evidenced by the handsome major Ity which returned him at his last elec Tion notwithstanding the assertions of the member for Kildonan to Tho contrary. Or. Sutherland goes on to say that or Norquay never did an honest Day s work in his life. I myself have known or. Norquay for More than 20 years and an say that he in Tho face of Many difficulties has attained his present Elevation and i May add that one noticeable feature in him is that he is the same in his Demeanour towards those he was accustomed to associate with while occupying an Hemblo sphere instead of being intoxicated with his position As a minister of the Crown m Tho member for Kildonan appears to be by his Elevation to membership in the local parliament. Or Norquay. While residing in this neighbourhood not Only Aid his own work honestly but was never deaf to Tho Call of assisting a neighbor when occasion required the fact is that or. Norquay is Tho representative of a Large Section of the people of this province who Are justly proud of him and appreciate him As such and it will to very Long indeed before the member for Kildonan can inspire people of Tho province with the same Confidence that or. Norona the Hartford times mentions a curious c.As.0 which was recently treated y or Ellsworth of that pity. A Man lad got choked with a piece of meat which lodged in the lower part of Tho also phages just Low enough to save him rom being suffocated by pressure upon Tho Larynx. To could breathe but somewhat under difficulty and Alto Gether was not feeling . Owing to the pressure of Tho piece of meat a Tough piece upon Tho Walls of the Gullet inflammation would be pretty sure to set in if the Case Ivas left to it self. Tho doctor made arrangements for the Slaughter of a num Ber of dogs. From their stomach coatings to obtained a rapid Supply of gastric juice with which he succeeded in the course of the Day in entirely dissolving the offending intruder and relieving Tho sufferer.
