Going it in was proved by evidence that the most Active negotiations were going on Between the government represented by or.

The latter were led to believe that the contract would be Given to them As they had Given every necessary Assurance of their Bona fides and responsibility the government the the matter merely following out policy of or. Norquay. It was us Well known that the Northern Pacific was at the Back of the local men and it was believed that a fair and reasonable bargain was being made. Or.

The verdict of the jury in this Cue will almost certainly be the ver dict of the people. In an older country the evidences of corruption venality and weak Ness which been disclosed in this anal against the government would displace it in Public Confidence at once and it should do so Here. Brandon mail that a More shameful set of men than the Greenway Martin comma action never been Given the reins of Power in any country has been clearly brought out in the evidence adduced. That these men Are Only held together As members of the same government solely and on no other account than their love of office and the spoils thereof has been clearly demonstrated. It is utterly impossible to assign any other motive for the men holding on to office than this for has it not been proven that Martin thinks Greenway the most colossal liar in the world while the latter hesitated in giving opinion that Martin was not fit to be attorney Gen eral the taught by the evidence Given in the the suit a that these men Are not nor have not held office for the Sake of Ben enting the province but for their own personal .

All this time or. Martin kept in the background. In no instance did he identify himself with the negotiations. Or.

His colleague perfected plans for doing the work by the government. About May 24th, 1838i or. Gree Way went to Crystal City. A Day or two after or.

Pilot Mound Sentinel the suit for libel brought against the editor of the free press by the Hon. Or. Martin has attracted the attracted the attention of the people of the entire province. It was Felt that if the charges made by the leading Joural of Manitoba were untrue that not Only were the members of the government wronged but the whole province was in a manner slandered the credit of the country injured Public institutions brought into on the other hand were the rulers guilty the country should be fully informed of the nature and extent of the offences motives should be traced irregularities discovered and the Public enlightened on every particular. Many things connected with the construction of the North Ern Pacibe were owing to the change of con tract and the complications connected with the second arrangement still in obscurity so far As the general Public was concerned and it was generally believed that in the court opposing counsels would seek to remove every concealment make Public every wrong and place the lessons ability it belonged. As the Case proceeded the evidence became exceedingly interesting and it soon became apparent that the prose nation was on the de Fence.

The other Day in giving his evidence he swore that he never saw the Telegram. In ail this there was duplicity to say the least and the Public will judge if both or. Green Way and or. Martin were concerned in it. Up to this time May 26th, according to or. Martin s evidence not a step had been taken to secure connection at the Boundary.

When he de idea to retire from the leadership of the third party he will be Happy to so an announce in order that the busybodies May be spared the fatigue of guessing.

Without trying Fjosee if any advantageous arrange ment could be made without in fact know ing whether any arrangement at All could be made to insure connection at the Boundary and thus obtain the necessary Competition or. Martin rushed into the construction of the red Kiver Vii Ley line. He May say now that he knew o a Section was assured because of the willingness of the Northern Pacific to stand by the Manitoba Central. He could Only know that through the promoters of the lat Ter and if he did it contradicts his own Evi Dence for is swore that he did Nob know anything about the negotiations. If he did not know it he was guilty of the most inexcusable recklessness. It was his business to have the clearest possible understanding As to .1 connection at the Boundary before one Dol Lar was expended in the red Kiver Valley Road for unites Competition could be obtained the Road would is of no use and the expenditure would be a dead waste. But a did not wait for this. He had no plans beyond building the Road itself. Being railway commissioner it would throw Grea Deal of patronage into his hands. He Wool have contracts to let and contractors to Dea with. There were railway ties to obtain an Blind advertisement to concoct. The pro pet indeed was a tempting one so within taking the trouble to ascertain whether an practical use could be made of the Road after i was built he entered upon its construction he did not know whether he could make con Section with the Northern paci6c, or the s Paul and Manitoba or any other system o terms that would be satisfactory to the Peop whose Money he was spending nor Seerkin by did he care.

Brandon times we have Given else where in this Issue a pretty Lull a apart of cer Tain portions of the evidence in the Martin Luxton libel Case. We have taken the portions in which our readers think will be most interested. The whole evidence covers a great Deal of Pound and much of it is of comparatively Little consequence to the country but the extracts we give however Are important and concern the people Gener ally. For instance in or. Koblin s testimony it is made very Plain that the Competition afforded the country by the n. P. In the mat Ter of freight rates is nil. The province paid Large sums of Money to this new railway upon the distinct understanding that it was to get in return a line of railway that would be an Active competitor to the c. P. R. And one that would Force a reduction of freight rates. The people paid their Money but they Haven t Irot what they bargained for in return. There is a Good Deal of new Light too thrown upon that a mile clause of the first n. P. Con tract by or. A. If. Martin s evidence. He says the attorney general told him Helodo a mile was intended for an election fund. If that be the Case it is fortunate for the noun try that the agitation Over that clause arose and that the government were forced to abandon that contract. On the whole we be Lieve the extracts which we have culled from the free press report of the anal will prove interesting to our readers. There for fail.
