That country occupied the position of advantage from which it disposed to make Tho Moalc possible. D is bound by the terms of an old treaty in the beneficiary and Newfoundland the Couff. The utter is growing impatient to the verge rebellion and t France k Noire Ahe can tax Kopland a anxiety to appease the Colony to an extreme limit in order to effect a therefore1 the is holding out for a High Price is tha consideration for yielding those fishery privileges which were fint conceded by the treaty of utrecht As Long Kro As 1713, Anc confirmed by the treaties of Paris 1763 Anc 1814, and Versailles 1783. Those Privily gee have been interpreted by the French to mean More than Newfoundland or even England in willing to concede Bill the latter submitted to encroach meets which have been going on from year to year until now France virtually Elaine territorial control of a portion of the Newfoundland coast. Eng land mildly relats and France will not give Way and in the meantime the islanders Are proving impatient that an outbreak i liable to occur at any time. That would precipitate matters and doubtless Force a Settle ment which there is Little Hope of retching through the reasonableness of France. Wou4d be poetic jut Rico to the latter if he stubborn new or cupidity ended in her driven out of Newfoundland without whatever it is difficult now to go Back in imagination three centuries and conceive what reasonable or prudent in Tho a of Concei Sion in dealing with the acquisition of new Fondland. The French stipulated1 for Pii i Legea which would enable them to continue in the business of taking and curing fish recur ing Tho right to use portions of the coast of that purpose. Within recent years Tea has beep extended to mean the right set up lobster factories or canneries and to take permanent to fusion of the coast Nec Essaiy car to prosecution of Thi new Industry. This could scarcely have Bee contemplated three cent Nee ago such a thing As lobster Bisbing was not known. In Pursuit of this later fall id France gone to the extremity of driving of the n the part of the coast required an demolishing the factories which these hat erected for their own use. Whethe this claim can to supported by the treaty of utrecht and subsequent trea ties and Craven Tioila nil relating the same business is a Quentio for the diplomats but times have changes 1713, and people nowadays Are not con tent to be told that they cannot be masters their own country. If the newfound Lander have no rights in their own coast they must be Given those rights otherwise they will be just fied in taking them if they can. That in to cording to the spirit of these Modem Days England greatly to her credit has been Pune Tilio sly honorable in observing treaty Obliga Tione even to her Hurt. She a willing to pro erect France a her rights in this Case. By if those rights conflict with the Independence and self it aspect of the people o Newfoundland she a bound to repair the wrong committed in 1713. If France refuse to be reasonable then Between them be it the one thing that must be established Beyon air Cavil and without unnecessary ions of Tim a that the newfound Landers Muse own Newfoundland. It will not do to leave it an longer possible for French marines to Ian from a French gunboat and order British subjects off any part of a British Possession. Tha is something thit cannot be tolerated and there is no Way at hand of stopping u then Way Mast be found. Two Days ago the Cable bore the intelligent that in the opinion of sir Charlca Bilke we a now in Paris there would be trouble in the Spring unless the differences were sooner set tied. The islanders will take the Law in the own hands. A French Crew will prot Ubl land to of Over the natives in which cos a hotel will be exchanged. This of the danger ahead the View held by Howley who hip Ait is therefore supposed the has corresponds wit the key. Or a native and we to have a fun knowledge of the state of feeling which ii Rita among tha people. That it is one of extreme exasperation vre can judge from the Lone o the dispatches which Corse now and Ogai in can the capital or the weat class. Bet wet thai unreasonable pretensions of the Freno and the rights of the colonists eng land is placed in somewhat trying situation Bettit is the result of her too great complaisance three Cut uric and she Maat face the for the Newfoundland a they would bet Lew than men certainly As than britons if they did not Aseer Irir get to every Inch of coast the Island a i air of Pak Selts. A Iii Anna Pornell sister of the deposed ish Leader Baa Ritten a letter to the free b journal in which much bitterness u lion against those members of the wrists Arlinar autary party who to support brother. Strangely enough she angers at what she Calls that excess of which Ould not see in the relations Between Parnell mrs. O Shea the Best evidence of his fit Ness for the leadership. With True feminine hatred of her brother s enemies she they claim the English liberals Are influenced by so 3 regard for religion morality that if the Irish disregard it hey would lose the Good will of the us their contempt. Do not Tell you Why or. A judged Only by she i six years of his life and not by the pro ceding seventy five nor Why nothing he did while backed up by a British majority can Only his actions after his ions of and in Hie Limerick speech of sunday last Parnell himself is reported As Laving said that All the present trouble was caused by or. Gladstone s mandatory letter tie Mandin Bis deposition As Leader. The Carneus Are certainly a queer lot. The brother calmly ignores his offence against Public and the sister think so lightly of it that the scolds his fellow Meibers for not doing like Wise. Parnell s friends in America like himself Aud his sister would throw All the blame on or. Gladstone. The Liberal Leader aet him. Self up to judge of the sins of other men. He cast his Stone at Parnell because of the o Shea exposure and ordered that he should be driven oui of the party. This is tha turn they give to it hoping to hide Parnell a disgrace and to name Irish passion against g la atone and the English liberals. There is not a word in Gladstone s letter to show that he was judging Parnell. If the Irish members were Satis red to have As Leader a convicted and pro claimed adulterer that Wal i their own affair. Or. Gladstone did not presume to Etc Fere with their taste or judgment in thai respect. There was an Alliance however be tween the Irish party and the English lib ersts looking to a measure 01 Home Rule. For nearly five years the Utti Tat Ion had been dual of Neil to the editor of the free press am not one of Tho i who cannot juju a Jake in its proper place Bat i do take exception to being told a thing in All serious new for fact which upon investigation turns out to be absurd tale Hood. The leading article in Thi a evening s Tribune deals and apparently seriously with some Tati attics save the Mark which 1 read with some interest. After Reading the paper in rough i again turned Back to this article lad entered into one or two Only that the whole thing is a piece of of foolery. The first statistical statement of the Tribune if the free contains since 188s, when it split with the gone moment 043 articles Denun Chatory of Greenway and Martin. By actual measurement if Here articles Wera tacked together they would cover u distance of 62 now let any Parson go into u very calculation and what will be find who that the average length of these alleged 943 articles must have been Over 347 feed each i i Havu to Means of making an absolute de odpt1 action regarding i he other findings of she to Bune 8 statistical editor but they Are apparently equally nonsensical i do not think there would be anything very funny in the Tribune s production had it Benn irined a place in Abr amusement Corner but when Given bib seems to be in All Earnest Ness it becomes simply an imposition upon Che Public and a degradation of journalism and the editor who pm perpetrate such a fraud s a Knave and must assume that bin readers Are fools. Asm Fhaid Jan. 13th. Kept up and the cause had made great pro is in England and Scotland. A general election waa not far off. Many of the Best liberals throughout the United kingdom hat manifested a Strong Dis incline station to go to the country Allied with a party sized Parnell As its Leader. It which Recotr Nikant certain and the loss of five Yea a of hard labor. Or. Gladstone could Nowc interfere w the the internal affairs of the Irish party but As eader of the liberals it waa me duty to Point out that nothing should be Don s that would jeopardize the cause to which both were committed. He was seeking to protect his own party not dictating to the other. That a the sum of his and the irishman who is dissatisfied with it is unworthy the name. I miss Parnell forgets that or. Gladstone did do something when. Backed up by a Jority. In 1868 he introduced his Home Unla Bill and was Defeated on it in the House. Appealed to tie country and was beaten there. Then he Lead to resign. He sacrificed office for the Irish cause. If he had Tot troubled himself Wiki the Irish question he might have been Premier of England from that time to the present. It would be inter Esting to know from Misa Parnell Whai sacrifice her brother Ever made for that cause. For six years at least nearly the whole of his time has been Given to mrs. O Shea. He i Many of dollars Richer to Day than he was when he took up the Trade of agitator. The hard work of the Irish party was done by others while he got the Honor the profit o Beu. It was a bad Day for Ireland when it took up with the Parsells. Or. Win. O Brinn Over in Boulogne evidently does not see this yet and the situation is going from bad to Woree. the Tribune the other Day made a Promise in these words but it serves us quite right for accept in any statement made in the free press a truthful. We should have known that Ion indulgence in lying hypocritical course made it impossible for the Sheet to Tell the truth and should have verified the statement. However we Promise that the lesson shall have its while it cannot be said that the Tribune a literally living up to Iba implied Promise never again to steal free press news to Palm off upon its readers As fresh and reliable it is Gratifying to notice a very marked effect for instance on monday the Tribune had so improved upon its hitherto reckless neb hex that its telegraphic pane contained Only 46 items and related Anc intact from a previous Issue of the free press. It is to be the Manitou Mercury that when the Hougg Meeta the Hen. Or. Greenway will be Able to give an encouraging report of the matters connected with his Mission to England and announce that there is Prospect of a Large immigration to Manitoba and the Northwest next season it a Only necessary that the members Shoult signify their pleasure to or.

It has been proposed Ubati these Millers should form a company build a Hue of elevators from Dakota to the Atlantic sea Hoard and import their own wheat direct from the growers. There is a far Baeier and better plan than this to procure a Supply of the desired commodity. This Iaia the open ing of the Hudson Bay route. The Hudson Bay railway is the key to unlock the door for British Millers to the very Centre of the finest hard wheat country in the world. Nothing further would be required for to i Supply of wheat would very soon be forthcoming. In a very few years and perhaps As soon a the route could be opened and put in operation the Supply of wheat would be Well up to the requirements of British Millers for this class of Grain.
