Winnipeg Free Press (Newspaper) - February 19, 1878, Winnipeg, Manitoba I i .1 51 i i to business announcement. With a View of better accommodating a Large nor Otho patrons of Tho press we 3ranch office and opened a under charge of our Fri Roo in go 1? l. S Balw immediately North o the Post once. Kenny Luxton. M., press office. July oth 1877. Tuesday pub. 19, 1878. Ready Boon issued to Council a plan which in animal meeting of the Dominion Rifle association takes place on wednesday the 11th inst., and in accordance with Tho re Vised Constitution of last year a report of the proceedings of the past season has Al me Ribers of the enables them to come to the meeting prepared to discuss intelligently All matters on the programme. It i presumed there will be some question in reference to the protests lodged chiefly new Brunswick in respect of the Wimbledon competitions of last year. The Montreal Gazelle considers that while for the bake of Harmony the of selecting Tho Wimbledon team is a matter for serious consideration the training of the team when selected is of still greater importance. With proper preliminary coaching it is skely that any of the teams already sent have been More successful. To have reproduced a most exhaustive article from the Toronto Glebe under this of men who have brains courage and mus Cle to Back it will be noticed that the primary object of the movement above indicated is As usual securing which is the fever prominent purpose of such patriotic enter Prises among Irish americans and we strongly incline to the opinion that the moneys so raised Are far More Likely to be expended in forty Rod whiskey than any other kind of ammunition. Still we cannot shut out from consideration the fact that there Are some ignorant dupes among the victims of the schemers who direct such movements and that such individuals May be possibly utilized at some time or other in order to keep up the make believe of serious operations being intended. We have already on several occasions fully explained the object of the skirmishing fund being raised by o Donovan Rossa. The designs of the the Bye that the new St. Paul organization have chosen this not Conte. Plate the waging of open warfare in the manner adopted by civilized nations but the striking of cowardly and secret blows against people living under Tho British Flag by Means of Intro Glycerine or such like agents. We do not entertain any feeling of alarm at the intelligence published in the St. Paul papers nor yet at the information which has reached us from another source that fenian organizations Are drilling at St. Paul and Minneapolis. Still it would be Well that the proper authorities should take cognizance of what is going on in order that this province should be duly fore armed As Canada hotel Post office Street Winnipeg. The subscriber begs to inform his friends and the Public in general that the above hotel is now opened for guests. The House is Large and can furnish splendid accommodations Large and the bar second to none in this City. Only the Best wines liquors and cigars Kep Rar. Oyster and lunch counter in the Brt room. A Call is solicited. O. Prud homme. Atni i dealing with three off the phases of the land question which have of late been exorcising portions of the people of this province. Tho article in question would soem to be almost the utterance of Tho gov itself and it therefore is worthy of mire than Ordinary attention. The phases by ought under mention Are the railway re lands and staked chums. The Globe s article is so exhaustive upon All the Points we can scarcely throw any additional Light upon them. So t iras Tho first two mentioned Are con c a cd to have repeatedly discussed them in our columns and though not so authoritatively is tie Globe we think nearly As Well As fore warned against any foul assault upon life and property. Ria Nadian Pacific railway. In regard to Tho railway reservation a Lien the order in Council opening it to m Kliment was promulgated we cited More one Good reason Why the Price for that should not to definitely fixed for the and also Why scrip should not be no to movable in payment therefor and these what the Globe now and v Tho Only Modifica on in the terms then urged and which was subsequently granted was that time should be l let a for the first payment of one Dollar per Micro. To have also repeatedly assured bios a interested that they need not be in Tho least apprehensive that the govern ment no matter what party happen to be in Power will be too exacting in the matter of either ultimate Price or terms. Then referring to the settlement Belt 1 in is the specially objectionable feature in thut connection has also been the Cash terms presumably provided. We Are rather pleased to be Able to infer from the Globe s article that doubtless where a settler is doing his Best to improve the land it the Price would be accepted in we Trust that the government will at an Early Day make an authoritative announcement to that effect. One result of the agitation created Here about these settlement Belt lands has been to make people who think of emulating hesitate about coming to Manitoba under some kind of an impression to the effect that the settlement Belt is the Only kind open to settlement at All. So far is that from being Tho Case that in the words of the Globe there re main few it any of the lands in question on Tho red River therefore or much reason there maybe for those already 01 these lands to be exercised upon tha question others have no interest in the matter whatever nor indeed can they. Persons contemplating emigrating to the Prairie province need not. Be deterred on .11 count of the Price of the government Hinds within tie settlement Belt As All such be already taken.

The Prospect of great Britain becoming involved in a foreign War seems to operate upon Irish patriots in the United states much like the effect of genial warmth upon the benumbed Viper. It was formerly the motto of the in Ireland that England s difficulty should be Ireland s i Iii in Unity 1 in the United states the slightest pretext is gladly availed of by the patriots to squeeze a few More dollars Oil of the hardworking labourers and ser girls of celtic origin who though they have been victimized time and again by unscrupulous agitators yet seem to present As Ever ready victims for the a i Ilice.

Another meeting of the club will be hold on sunday afternoon after which Linn Tho object of tie ski Fishers will be More plainly apparent. In the meantime he Public can rest assured that there is seme thins in the wind and that something 1 Iny not be entirely foreign to the pending conference and warlike rumours in Europe.
