About a year ago there was running in the free press for some time in connection with this absorption of the Sun an official announcement in which appeared Ibe following paragraph the free press has no quarrel with itself for the Cardinal political principle it always Pray eased defended and advocated but with recognized party because of party Blunder it Baa been almost a constant warfare. Henceforth whatever of the past the free Preva May by considered absolutely non partizan and in dependent. The free press never was an Organ of any party. From its inception it had been Inda pendent. But on the 13th of january of last year it made the official announcement above quoted. That in necessarily involved any change of did it actually in this it certainly puts the free press in an invincible position so far As any possible charge eco disloyalty to any political party is concerned. The free pre Sou any political party. It has always been actuated by a desire to Best serve Manitoba and the Northwest regardless of consequences to any set of politicians. That in its position to Day and that will continue co be its position so Long As the name of w. F. Loxton appears As its responsible director.

Notwithstanding the severely cold Day the Large Hall in the Mcpiarmid Block was Well filled by intelligent Farmers of the surrounding country manifested much interest in Tho Day s feedings. Hon. J. W. Sifton occupied chair and r. E. A. Leech acted As Secretary. The Secretary gave a report of the work of Trie Institute since its temporary inception on the 20th of december last showing that four very Succena annl meetings had been hold at a Mali three subjects had been discussed Viz. 1tc7i i a _ it a customs Case.

Sir John s address to Tho people of Canada which the free press yesterday presented to its readers in full is not a remarkable document but it is Clear and explicit on Many poems hitherto wrapped in doubt. The Toronto Empire recently announced that the government s platform for this Campaign would be the old policy the old chief and the old flag1." and this column and a half manifesto is but an elaboration of thab trenchant expression. However sir John May have coquette with the pet theories of the opposition now that the bait la is really on he Falls Back behind the old entrenchments on which the opposition forces have twice charged in vain. Indeed it is difficult to see wherein sir John Macdonald s present position differ in the least decree from the one he took prior to the elections of 1887. Not the slightest reference is made in the address to those overtures to Washington for enlarged Trade relations of which a fort night ago we heard considerable while the National policy and its results Are lauded with All the old time extravagance of expression. Evidently the reciprocity talk did its duty in giving the government a pretext for dissolution. Sir John s silence on this Point can Only to interpreted As meaning either that he has no intention of making Lar serious Effort to enlarge our Trade with our american cousins oi1 has no expectations of big proposals being accepted at Washington. At any rate he is fighting the Battle on the old National policy cry. He credits it with being Congress decided that Chicago had shown such Enterprise As to justify the placing of Tho exhibition site there. A yet but Little has been done and every step taken has shown that the Western City displayed More courage than sense a capturing the site of the fair from new York. Recently the executive committee decided that before any thing further was done it would be Wise a an estimate of what it would Cost and compare it with the receipts either in band or in sight. The result has been startling. The exposition will Cost a Large por Tion of which must be available for use before the Gates Are opened for the Public. With the most favourable calculation the directors Only see their Way to securing by May 1st, 1893, when the exhibition begins. This estimate is of the Assumption that every Dollar of the amount subscribed by chicagoan at the time when they were struggling to get the fair will be delusive estimate unless human nature differ in Chicago from what it elsewhere. At least 15 per cent of the amount subscribed under those i Roar stances May be regarded a pub Down for Mere effect. A deficit of anywhere irom to is apparent and that is considerable to be made up even b y a City which boasts so largely of its wealth enter m we Ulsano. Printing eto., balance on hand. 10 the committee on nominations appointed meeting reported the following a the last names for office bearers for president s a. Bedford vice president Rev. George Roddic Sec. Treasurer r. E. H. Leech so j w. Vantassel John Maher a. P. Elliott Alex. Young and f. Clegg Afi this step the meeting discovered that they had run upon o snog in the shape of a legislative Job which declares the officers and directors shall be residents of the electoral division in which the Institute is formed. In this Cane the Brandon City electoral division Only embraces two townships outside the City Whilo the majority by far of the members were in North and South Brandon. A heated discussion arose As to the Best course to pursue whether to abide by the letter of the Law or to ignore the Law and forego the legislative Aid. The Hon. Or. Greenway poured Oil upon guv a indy refund to pay the Aaroe and the conversation which took place Ilice Camo to the conclusion that or. Y had brought the and Wagon Back from Dakota. On Tho refusal of to stay they went to Heine the o Cen and Whin they could not find because Mckay had not brought them in Hetico the action. Alter an All Day trial the defendant proved most clearly by one of Tho Crown witnesses and two of or. Mckay h Neil Bora who came to testify in the defendant s Ohalf that Tho oxen and Wagon had Noo been in the Domini on from the time they wore Over the Lino on the 5bh january until Tho present time. After hearing Tho evidence the court took the care into their delibeiation1 for some three or four Honra and came to the following verdict their the court would Inas much an the defendant Hadi deceived the police into believing that Chey had brought the oxen into the Dominion Unaka a Prece Dent and condemn Tho defendant to pay the costs which would be for the two the Way in which the cose was conducted by the court and Sergt.

This also has not the virtue of being original but it will probably have a Good Deal of weight particularly in the Northwest. The popularity of sir John Macdonald id Shis prise and Public spirited Ness As does Chicago. A proposition to Bond the Gate receipts for has been made but will Only be acted upon As a last resort. An Effort will be made to raise the required amount by supplementary subscriptions. The mistake that was made in choosing Chicago in , new York is now Bailiff recognized by nearly including the More thoughtful of Chicago people them selves. The Cost of the fair would have been no More there than at Chicago and to the vastly Richer City would have seemed a Light Burden. Probably from within a radius of 20 Miles of the Centre of new Yorac More people would attend the pair held in that City than the whole attendance at Chicago will be and this would mean a great increase in receipts. The holding of it at an Inland City will also inevitably minimize the presence of foreign exhibits As Well As the attendance of sight seers from other lands. The Mckinley Bill which makes trading More diff Gujt Between the United states and the european nations will also tend to make the exhibitors of the latter countries indifferent about making an Effort to reach the american Public. The fair will probably be very rugely Ameri. Can in its character and while an epitome of the marvellous Industrial achievements the commercial enterprises the literary and artistic excellencies the Mineral and agricultural resources of the american people would be most interesting and valuable in would yet fall far Slort of what the world s fair should be if it is to justify the cosmopolitanism of its title.

Greenway minister of agriculture who was present upon Tho invitation of the Institute was called upon. To said he was glad to be present at this the first instil tute for which organization application had been made and in this one of the Best districts in the province of Manitoba. This was his Mui ddn speech in the Institute line and on this account he believed he a Ovid be Given consideration. He would not cell him to be an eminent Farmer but it was the height of his ambition to be on a Eood farm b Moose Mountain agricultural society. Carlyle assa., Jan.

He spoke of Many subjects which Farmers might profitably die cues at Institute meetings and enlighten themselves upon and evils in Grain grading twine Supply and machinery Lino that they might remedy. When to was in the old country he visited cattle fairs fat Stock shows Gram markets etc., with a View of acquiring knowledge that might be turned to practical account. In Drury Lane the greatest wheat Market in the world he enquired for Manitoba hard. There waa none of that commodity upon the Market but the people had evidently heard of Mani Toba. They took him to what they said was the nearest approach to Manitoba hard which they could show and was Worth seven Shil Lings per Quarter More than any other variety on the Narket. This was Duluth wheat and much inferior to our hard. In Stock he had seen a lob of a thousand head from our Northwest territory sold which netted per head at poit of shipment. Ordinary Stock cattle from Here were readily picked up there netting sg5 to per head Manitoba freight. Owing to the prejudice existing among Tho English b.l0ng a. Mcquirk j. Kisbey g. Reid j.

Country despite a Trade policy which a not regarded with favor is the result of the vigor Ous building of the Canadian Pacific railway. It was a dash of daring optimism that struck a responsive chord in the Young and Euthas Mastic Northwest and though democracies go much less on gratitude for past achievements than on the probabilities of the immediate future yet the pro administration feeling that was aroused by the building of the Road is still Strong. The building of the Canadian Pacific a one achievement by the government which has More than justified the most san Guine anticipations. The address of sir John clears the smoke Fatwa from the Bartle Field and leaves the respective armies with clearly marked demarcations Between them. The conserva Tives Are fighting under National policy colors while the watchword running along the lib eral ranks a unrestricted reciprocity. And so with clearly drawn lines the parties can fight the Battle out and win or lose. What Fram Tho standpoint of a Dispas Spectator Are the probabilities of the contest the Only thing to compare the present with is the election of 1887. The conditions Are much the yet with differences. In 1887 the Broad issues were comply rated by the Kiel cry which made for Liberal victories in Quebec and against them in Ontario. That to a Large extent has died our but it has been succeeded by the equal rights movement the effect of which on the respect Ive parties is indeterminable though the chances Are always that a disturbance of this nature will injure the government More than Tho opposition. This disturbing incident to Tho Campaign will be noticed in Ontario and the English speaking portions of Quebec and possibly to a slight extent in this province. But in Ontario the chief fight Wil be up the Trade question and if there a any Efficacy in the Liberal policy it should have made some converts during the past four years. In Quebec the eclat of Lauriet a position As Leader of the liberals together with the support of the Hon. Or. More it should help the opposition materially. In the maritime provinces the reciprocity cry should have weight but one can never predicate How a maritime constituency will go. We have already Given our forecast of the Northwest and a solid band of Minia teral its from British Columbia be expected to pass through the City in route Ito Ottawa in about two months time. In View of sir John s Appeal placing the parties in their old positions the probabilities Are that while the conserve Tives will win it will be by a comparatively narrow majority. The excitable his work Early correspondent is in the Campaign. Getting in the Tele Gram in the Toronto world from its Ottawa correspondent announcing that men Promin ent in political affairs undoubtedly having reference to the Liberal leaders will shortly be arrested in a charge of treason is a Good Sample of the kind of thing he May be expected to flood the press with during the aex month. An arrest for such a cause now a Days would be simply ridiculous. If Canadian desires to advocate National Independence or annexation to the United states he is probably technically guilty o treason and could be proceeded against under some Musty and Rusty Oli statute but the parties instituting the prosecution would be laughed at for1 their Loyal pains. And it is no6 Likely that the More prominent on political affairs have gone As far As that. They hive probably plotted the overthrow of sir John s government a very heinous offence. No doubt regarded from Nome stand Points but not one of which the courts can very Well take a insurers against american beef cattle did not bring top Price but scotch men up to the tricks of the Trade bought those Touk cattle at to per head turned them out in their Parks for Tivo or three months then run them Down to Bir Mingham and sold for scotch beef. Or. Greenway s remarks throughout were interesting and instructive. Rev. Geo. Roddick Reeve of Cornwallis ably moved a vote of thanks to Hon. Or. Greenway which was humorously seconded by r. E. A. Leech complimenting the Hon. Gentleman upon Tho manner in which he had1 avoided alluding to any thing that Savoured of politics but had interested instructed and edified his hearers.
