Professed to be an Organ of that party however and indeed frequently disagreed with it on matters of administration especially those relating to the North eau. Id opposed or. Mackenzie s railway policy which would have carried the 0. P. K. Across the red River at Selkirk and on to the Narrows of Lake Manitoba. In condemned Hia administration of Northwest affairs in Ninny of its most important details. While Subac Ribio to the Brond principles of the Liberal party it Lias Ever considered first and Foremost the interests of that Section of the Dominion in which its lot waa cast. That is its policy to Day. It was one of Iho first journals in Wanuda to advocate greater Freedom of Trade with our neighbors to the South. Ero that advocacy it has never varied. But it a cot an Organ. In refuses even to be bound by any of Tho ties which Are supposed to be a condition of party fealty. It holds itself free to advocate such principles and measures an it believed to be beat for the people of the Northwest to whom Only it owes allegiance and from whom it receives its support. This has been its position always and id is the same to Day. Therefore there had been no mask which or. Goldwin Smith cannot but know and when he pretends to accept tie Story of a confessed mercenary and con Cocker of falsehoods to Bhe contrary he is guilty of conduct unworthy of him. Having occasion about a year ago to emphasize the position of the free prefix the following official announcement was made in its columns the free press has no quarrel with itself for the Cardinal political principles id Haa always professed defended and advocated bub with recognized party leaders and because of party blunders it has Baen almost a constant warfare. Henceforth whatever of the past the free press be considered absolutely Uon partizan and in we have reason to believe that the event which was made the occasion of this announce absorption of the sue news of such deep interest to or. Goldwin Smith that the above wan not buffered to escape his notice. It must be left to the gentleman himself to reconcile his know ledge of this with his present charitable Hope that the free press Haa been wearing a mask. Between his esteemed Friend the mercenary or. In Smith Petess. Or. Goldwin Smith has written another letter intended to display Hia affectionate con Cern for Manitoba and its people. The gentle Man May be Juite sincere in his present professions of will quite disinterested and in All he nays actuated by a spirit of the purest patriotism. discusses and some length and very ably the general political situation As is affects this province and urges the electors to take a decided stand in favor of greater commercial Freedom. This is his privilege and Little exception will be taken to his manner of exercising it. But to the letter he appends a postscript in which a bitter and entirely gratuitous attack is made on the free press. Between the let Ter and the postscript there is no natural connection. The latter apropos of nothing at All starts abruptly by slating that from the news in the Public prints it would Che free press Hud dropped its mask and declared for the tory and he is malicious on the face of i Hope id is so that is the gentleman Hopes die free press has been playing a hypocritical part and that it now confesses itself a traitor. Not certainly the most Christian of wishes. To Are afraid or. Smith has Only been too anxious to believe this of the free press when a hastens to accept it As True on the strength of a statement made by the Winnipeg correspondent of the Toronto mail. No other newspaper in Canada contained any thing which could give him such an impression. If or. Smith has been following Manitoba affairs As closely As his professed Friendship would prompt him to do be will know that the correspondent in question is one Richard son v mercenary who has confessed to Dis. Pate w11 g lies at so much a Colura ii. will know that in the City where he is Best known Aud where his Peculiar talents have developed themselves he is least respected. will know also that his animus against the free press would him to any falsehood if ii thought it would result in prejudice to this paper. would know enough indeed to make him exceedingly auspicious of anything emanating from that source especially if it concerned the free press. Yet or. Smith does not scruple to accept his dispatch saying that it thrown off the mask and become tory on no better ground than an article which in the beat of Faith professed to forecast the result of the pending1 elections in this province. There must be something wrong with the i professor himself his knowledge of Thia person he could do this. If he did not know it was a falsehood he had an least the Best of grounds for suspecting that it might be. We have said that or. Smith May be quite sincere in his present professions for Manitoba and we have reason to believe that the province a indebted to him for most timely and valuable services in connection with the abrogation of monopoly. But the free frees had Long ago condemned him for unfriendly utterances with respect to the Northwest which went to far As to declare Thia country unfit to live in. had caused that statement to be published knowing and intending that it would do great injury when four years ago or. Smith waa anxious for a nomination Tor Lisagar the free Reaa opposed the efforts of his friends to bring it about. That was because of his avowed unfriendliness to this country. Tho gentleman is now an advocate of the closest possible relations commercial or otherwise with the United states. In his Zeal for Thia new policy he is obliged to condemn the course of the Ottawa government. Even in this connection he thought it his duty to run foul of the free press some time ago in return for which he was reminded that in 1378 lie helped the present government and its party to fasten the National policy on the country. Indeed he in much responsible for the Protection which now weighs so heavily on the great body of Consumers As any other individual person in Canada. provoked this reminder by remarks that were Little Short of insolent. To Day he May be extremely desirous of bringing about unrestricted reciprocity or even commercial Union but if Manitoba a suffering under the Afflic Tion of the National policy is he says id is we cannot but Rem Taber that we owe in largely to or. Goldwin Smith. cannot forgive the free Prea for recalling this fact and much Lesa does he forgive it for opposing his nomination for Lugar hence we find him ready to accept any slander that May be circulated intended to injure this journal. The free press has thrown off no mask a it never wore Onett when it waa established now nearly Twenty years ago it accepted the Cardinal principles of the Liberal party and to these it Haa since adhered. It never correspondent and what he knows himself of the situation it cannot be said that his attack on Bhe free press adds anything to Hie reputation. Speaker win Airt. The announcement of the death of or. Winram speaker of the Manitoba Legisla Ture will be received wherever he waa known with feelings of the sincerest regret. For twelve years he had been a member of the legislature and had thus be come personally known to the Public men of the province every one of whom will re member him a a gentleman of a kindly and generous heart preferring always to be a Friend of every one but never afraid of the harsher part of the stoutest of opponents if forced upon him. No one stood higher in the affectionate regard of his fellow members and when Hia party found itself in the majority after the election of 1383 he was voted to the position of first commoner of the province. For the past year or two his health had been failing Aud this fatal termination to his illness we not unexpected by his More familiar friends. An expression of Sincore sorrow at Bis loss will be the tribute which absent friends will pay to his memory a Hijer Emailia Are consigned to their Hub rest ing place. Amendments needed. There were local elections As Well a Federal on Tho 4th of november last. In nearly All the states members of the Legisla Tures were elected who to meet and organize Early in january. In Home of them one of the first duties was to elect United states which is done by joint ballot of the two branches of the legislature each state having its Assembly and Senate. The experience in some of the states is Nob of a character to commend the political institutions of our neighbors to the approval of canadians. In Nebraska for example two governors were returned and fir weeks a struggle took place Between them aatto which should take the heat the retiring governor taking a hand in the fight to give it greater variety. One took Possession of the state House and barricaded it against the assaults of the enemy another got control of a portion of the state militia Aud thus for a number of Days War raged be tween the rivals at the constant risk of bloodshed. The authority of the courts was invoked and not until first Tolaas political scan dal became fully developed did the candidate of the majority succeed in getting himself seated. In one of Tho new England states the election of the majority candidate was Dis regarded and the legislature itself proceeded to name its governor. This was done by a trick to palpable that no doubt exists the people were cheated out of their Choice. For Over a month balloting for United states senators has been going on in the Legislatures of Illinois and South Dakota. The latter is a mixture of republicans democrats and independents or Alliance men neither of whom has a majority. The struggle has reduced itself to one of endur Ance and there is no apparent Rea son to suppose that there will be an election during the life of the legislature. In rests with Tho members themselves there be ing no provision in the state Constitution to prevent the scandal of a deadlock founded on individual stubbornness or perversity. The situation is no hotter in Illinois. On a joint ballot there Are 101 democrats 100 republicans and 3 Farmers Alliance Seuta Tives. Each faction has its candidate for senator and on every ballot the full strength is polled. This has been going on for weeks and there in nothing to prevent its going on for months to come. It requires 103 to elect but As Long As the parties hang to Gether no candidate can get this our Abs. Three members Are thus enabled to Block the election of a senator. By holding out it is possible they May bring the 101 of one party or the 100 of the other Side and thus elect their own candidate. This would pre sent the absurd spectacle of the minority of 3 ruling the legislature. There is something radically wrong with political institutions under which such experiences As these Are possible. Many of the states Are in a reforming mood. They Are adopting the ballot Ayatey which prevails in Canada and Massachusetts is about to set the example of introducing the Torrens sys tem of land Transfer and registration. While e thus acknowledging that there Are some things which they can profitably copy from other countries it might be Well if they resolved on amendments to the various state constitutions that would permit of the elec Tion of their officials without the Bandala that have been both to flagrant and prevalent during the part few weeks. Akk election of the Liberal candidate in Northampton by a majority of no indication of waning popularity on the part of or. Gladstone and his following. Bradlaugh n majority in 1886 waa 697. Coming on top of the Hartlepool Victory this tremendous gain it calculated to create a feeling of uneasiness in the tory Camp. Lord Salisbury had better take a Leaf out of sir John s Book and dissolve now. The longer he puts it off the worse it communications. Woe unto you lawyers to the editor of the free 1 Ress. Have read in the free press from time to time some interesting biographies of living Canadian politicians. I notice that with one or two exceptions All those men Are lawyers. It is quite refreshing to find that one of our Cabinet ministers has been nothing Worso than a Temperance lecturer but excepting him All the sketches you have Given have been of this is grievous of All persons whose train ing and profession unfit them Tor parliament lawyers Are the very in some countries England for instance this feeling is so Strong that in has been seriously proposed that lawyers shall be ineligible for parliament and effect would be Given to that feeling but for the widely extended Cus Tom of being called to the bar for fancy and not for profit As in the Case of Harcourt Raikes Dilke Etc. The reason lawyers Are the very worst Nien for members of Parlia ment is that their training and their interests alike oblige them to make Lawn for the Benefit of the lawyers and not for the Good of the country. They May not know of this failing but they have it nevertheless their ideas Are cramped by custom and warped by precedents. A in Tho old fable the Currier thought there was nothing like leather for the Protection of the citizens so in these Days lawyers believe that for the cure of All the evils of society there is Noth ing like Law and its ministers the lawyers. This May be vory Good for the lawyers but it is very bad for the people. An Pober reason lawyers should not be sent to parliament a be temptation to the undue exercise of governmental patronage. There is a Good Deal of Legal by Pines that a govern ment requires doing or that if it does not require can yet have done and there thus Arisen a tacit understanding that these crumbs shall be Given As rewards to those who will put their consciences in their pockets and vote for the Powers that be. Such men May be Good lawyers but Likely enough they Are not. They get the work just the Samet and As Long As they Are faithful Long enough a lucrative sinecure is tolerably secure to them. There is hardly a lawyer on the Domi Nant Side in the Dominion parliament but will acknowledge that Themo Noy he spent on ins election was the Best investment no Erer made. Whether this is Good for the constituencies is another matter. It certainly a not Good for us in Manitoba and the Northwest. We people on the Prairie Are Farmers and those in our towns Are dependent upon successful Agri culture. What Good can lawyers do us in parliament. We ought to be represented by Farmers men whose interests Are our in Teress who think As we think and feel As we feel. Take the one question of our Trade relations. What Doea it matter to a lawyer whether binders and mowers Are cheap or dear or whether a Farmer is handicapped in Selling his cattle or wheat those wince who have had their with ers wrung and we ought to have to represent us in parliament men whose interests Are identical with our own and nol those whose interest is in setting people at loggerheads in the Hope of an increase not in Corn Grain and cattle but in Law suits and squabbles in courts. In View of the approaching election i Hope this warning will not be in vain. We. Kant. Gotham assa., . A Temperance candidate. To the editor of the free press. Is with pleasure As a Strong Tern Pera Rice advocate i notice in your columns that a meeting has been held to brim out t Temperance reciprocity candidate for Winnipeg. This is what we need i am particularly glad to find Shab the Tern Perance and unrestricted reciprocity Issue Are going hand in baud. With unrest Ricter reciprocity we shall be Able to More Tiue Cess fully fight the Demon of intemperance Whigob is ravaging the hearths and Homes of Thi our new Northwest. With the chinese Wal of the n. P. Removed we Ball be flooded with cheap "rot-gut1" from the neighbouring states and territories which to serve their time.

London feb. 12. Gladstone showed remarkable vigor to Day at the opening of the new pub he Library near Charing Cross. walked the distance of half a mile from the Honse of commons to the a Lane of people who lined the Road on each Side and made his journey an ovation. Cheers echoed and re eclied along the Loute from the that Gladstone left the House until to arrived at his destination. Never Haa there been stronger evidence of the hold of Gladstone on the common people. Gladstone received the tributes of the multitude with his usual in Assumption and seemed especially gratified at Tho cheers for Irish Home Rule. In his speech at the Library he commented with considerable earnestness on the duties which the Possession of extensive landed property entailed upon its owners. These duties too often neglected and in some conspicuous instances nobly fulfilled included an Obliga Tion to assist in the spread of education and enlightenment among the people. Gladstone appealed to the owners of landed estates to assist in the Extension of libraries both in Sites Aud villages. The Library to believed was the greatest competitor of the Public House. It gave the workingmen a to which he could resort in the evening for mental recreation Aud it attracted him from the debasing associations of the barroom.
