Winnipeg Free Press (Newspaper) - June 2, 1877, Winnipeg, Manitoba 11 Fil command on his arrival at the front. The rumours of peace negotiations Are believed in London to have been Sot afloat for Stock jobbing operations. The Danube is falling rapidly and the russians tire concentrating at of Lavalis and Turna and is expected that the crossing at those Points will begin immediately. The russian army on the is to be increased to four Hundred thousand men and contracts for subsistence for this num Ber have Boon made. It is said that three russian monitors have passed the turkish batteries at the Selimi Mouth of the Danube. Anarchy and suffering in Bosnia Are on the increase. The frock prime Minuter has announced to the Chambers that the government in tends to double the army Call out the re serves and enlist volunteers. A dinner was Given to or. Gladstone and or. Bright at Birmingham yesterday. Or. Bright said that the meeting of thursday was the greatest political meeting that Bir Mingham had Ever seen. Said that the Prince Lort Schakoff leaves St. On monday for the front. To is first going to England to sub Mit a Semi official note to the Iov ornament. It is thought Tho note is a pledge that rus Sia will not strike at any British interests but it will Foro Sladow that in some event Russia May find it necessary to temporarily occupy constantinople to oblige the turks to acknowledge their defeat. This is a Paris correspondent s news. Ira comm in i ind on the report of the proceed Ings of the meeting of the presbytery of Manitoba and the immense work to be car ried on in the North West the re Lykus us it i. Very evident that if Tho churches in Manitoba arc liberally sup ported for a few years they will no i Only become self supporting but will be Able to help in the establishment of others us the course of Becony s always More extended. The Ditl in it Church is in tin older provinces make a Grout mistake if they do not give great attention to the real our sons Ami Haugli o ters Are going in that direction in Ever in creasing numbers and the churches will be put upon their Mettle to show that in the matter of Church Extension they arc Olive to the duty and equal to the Cuico same political institutions As Tho Mother country where the people Are equally free and whore the Laws Are As justly administered surely some of them would gladly Exchange the worn out lands they at present i old for a new Homo under the Regis of Britannia s shield far to it from us to advise any Man to quarrel with his bread and butter but certainly everyone who de tires to farm should to Able to find a location in British North America somewhere be tween Newfoundland and Vancouver Island with scenery and climate to suit him under the Protection of Laws in which he Lias con under political institutions with which to is familiar. The of our Gull us Tho monetary times. The present and future importance of the movement recently begun in Tho ship ment to Britain of live Stock fully warrants the interest displayed in it by the press both Here and in Tho old country. The ready Sale which has been found in eng land for american beef shipped either live or dead and Tho Al acct it has had in cheapening the Price of butchers meat to a class who need it and who Uno it largely Point to the permanency of the demand and the consequent growth and develop ment of this business. The reduction Ell acted already in the Price of meat to tie English Artisan by the shipments thus far made must create increased request Lor it in the localities where hitherto its Price made it a rarity or at any Rule made its consumption far smaller than it will lie. Canadian and american meat Sells now in Liverpool or Glasgow at Horn sixpence to eight Pence Sterling per Pound dressed weight and it costs a Penny Tho Pound to get it conveyed thither. This reduction of from to to per cent in the Price is a great Boon to the longish Workman and it is at the same time a Price Well pays the Canadian producer. With i of Ernce to the Trade in dead meat which by Means of refrigerating cars on land and cold air Chambers on Board ship is being pushed to such proportions something May to said inasmuch us one Canadian Linn have been shipping head per week for some months past. The margin of profit however at present Price of live Beeves is somewhat precarious. I 1 important Al Letlon Salk at 110tki., i d i n t i i As k flour feed half Breed scrip farms there is one state of the american re Public so peculiarly British in it life and proclivities that cannot re Frain from a feeling of sympathy with its people. We refer to Virginia proudly spoken of its residents a the old do this state always been to Mark Abl for the highly cultured society which it Lonis it and that has gained or Virginia a sort of aristocratic position among her sister states in the i Nion. The people into icon accustomed to pm bulge in tie preservation of their Pedigree and the term f. F. family of often sneering by applied by envious outsiders was formerly to the proper possessor no most a certificate of social inti Naclion. With the Pride of ancestry the virginians have been accustomed to cherish a chivalric sense of that Good old fashioned Honor which make a Man ashamed to do a mean act because it. Is unworthy of him und i. Ever since Tho civil War great exertions have Boon made by the virginians to Proem e the immigration from of a Semi aristocratic class and the result is that a very consider. Able British of the kind desire has been added to the native residents of the state. We lire not at All mire that All the representations upon which it has been induced have been justified by results As Many of the lands sold to these Blue blooded but not altogether kid gloved adventurers Are of a Woin out character irom perpetual Over cropping and such As Manito bans would feel inclined to pitch into the first Muskeg. Still it is estimated that there arc now from British settlers in the state who while tolerably contented in their new Home have still a kindly and Loyal sentiment for the land of their birth. It is therefore not strange that they should have observed As an annual festival the anniversary of the Queen s birthday or each recurrence of the event since the Celebration was first held in Virginia four years ago. Among the immediate patrons of the festivities for the present year which commenced to Early As Tho tilt., Are our own Iov error Dentral and sir Edward Thornton British minister at Many of the Consul of the ports in Virginia. As an evidence of the Good feeling Likely to to developed by such a demonstration it is pleas ing to read that letters of sympathy with the object of this International Celebration were received from ii. i. Prince Leopold or. Beresford Hope the Fiove nors of Many of the states of Tho Union and that the members of the benevolent societies of various nationalities in Virginia heartily participated. Much As we May rejoice with those initiated the demonstration at the Success of the Celebration we can but regret that so much Loyal sentiment and old country capital and Enterprise should be invested in a country of alien nationality in which British immigrants cannot possibly distinguish themselves in Public life without forfeiting that which every Loyal Man holds very his allegiance to his Sovereign. Surely in Virginia a promising Field for a repatriation agitation might to found. If those englishmen wore properly informed of the productive lands of this province and the North West to be had for the asking by homesteaders in a land which enjoys the saturday june 2nd, 1877, 1 am Insl Iuele id Oiler at Public nution the my Ai i Miil s flan x xxx and xxx which can not surpassed in ili4 i Roll Nee or samples can in1 seen on .
