Members of the Manitoba government were charged some time by the free press with acts of dishonesty in connection with the Northern Pacific that would if the Laws recognized such off races Send them to the in other words thab there Are to Jay. Men in the Penitentiary who Are not guilty of worse offences again to piety or the Public morals than Aero those members of the government. There is no denying that Thia waa a grave statement to make. In consequence of in or. Joseph Martin took action against or. Loxton editor in chief of this Jour Nal for criminal libel. The hearing lasted several Days and the close the jury divided in opinion nine holding for acquittal two for further evidence and one for conviction. This meant that the jury by a majority of nine to one declared that members of the government including or. Martin were guilty of acts that deserved to be punished with imprisonment. Those nine were All from the Farmers who worn not influenced by anything but the actual facts of the situation. The. Remaining three belonged to this if anywhere advantages arc Felt from the building of the Northern Pacific railway. The evidence Dis closed a vast amount of deceit treachery and Fol nerhood which characterized the negotiations Between the government from begin Ning to end. It was re disgraceful exposure and the opinion of the majority of the jury was sustained by Tho voice of the country. One scandalous fact established was that the a mile clause in the first contract was intended to provide Boodle for the promoters of the Roft. To Hub extent and in what connection or. Martin might to considered As one of the promoters the Public May judge for themselves. Re cutly it has been shown iliac or. Mar tin used his position and attorney. General to pass legislation that gave him a valuable property in Portage la Prairie called Union Shunro. It has Alro been shown that he divided Tho province into registration Dis Sale and Martin and Ash ii Soho advised him to Fente them. Afterwards when urging them to get the titles for him they said they were acting for som 6 other per son under instructions to redeem Thorn. The doctor asked them who Thia was but Schoy would not Tell. According to the Story there was no third person Martin and Curtis were deceiving their client in order to cheat him out of Hia lots. That is the Euba Tance of what or. I Eggarty says wad that they succeeded he do covered for himself on searching the registry office. They redeemed the lots for then elves pretending at the time to a act ing for a third person. All of which Means that Bir. Martin while attorney general entered into a conspiracy with or. Hangs party and others to Purchase a number of lots at a tax Aale at their own figures and afterwards while acting As the doctor s solicitor this Model attorney general schemed to cheat the doctor out of his share of spoils. Was there Ever such a Story told before of a Canadian minister of the grown the free press can Only take tie sworn statements a published together with the report of the speeches to Given in a Portage la Prairie newspaper. They have never been contradicted. For fourteen months they have been before the Public and or. Martin has not taken the first step to vindicate himself. He is ready enough with Hie Libell suits. If or. Haggarty and other deponent have not been telling Tho truth or. Martin could not Only prosecute them for libel but for perjury As Well. Bub not a hand Hoe been moved in the matter. Even the organs have been dumb. The one a Winnipeg is unscrupulous enough for any task but it seemed to fear that Bhe Lacta in this care Wero too Strong for it at airy rate it has never referred to it never attempted the least explanation or defence. Or. Isaac Campbell a the Only Man in the province who has had a word of excuse for a transaction that Stamps the guilty of it As utterly unfit for any Public position. It will be observed that in All these trans actions in the matter of the Northern Pacific bargain the Union Square business the distribution of registration districts and this Portage la Prairie tax Sale this Ono object in View was to make Money for himself. Greed and Grib greed and grab throughout the whole disgraceful record. To these to prostituted Hie position As railway com missioner As attorney general and As Mem Ber of the legislature. Do Nob the honest liberals of Selkirk see Bow outrun Laubly they have been disgraced by their yellow dog leaders in having this Man thrust upon them bed in provoking a contest in which Success be expected thus throwing the Ccu Ati Quenoy into a condition of turmoil and causing useless expense. But there is Little profit in engaging in the debate in the face of the thing self. Rathe electors of Lisgar Havo before them three Broad questions which Are of most vital importance to them As citizens of the North West. They Are the same As those which affect the other in Trade with Mie United states immigration and the Hudson Bay railway. Exactly to what length or. Ross is pre pared to go on the first a not known As he has not declared himself but he is pro of ably in favor of the largest measure of free Trade with our neighbors that in his opinion is consistent with our own Circum stances and with our relations with the Mother country. What that is he will him self have to explain to the electors if called upon and Between him and them Bhe Issue on this question he is not abreast of the popular demand which May very fairly be done in the absence of explanation and on his record in Tho House it is important to observe that on the other to he is Nob Only solid but useful. Or. Robs aided by or. Daly and or. Scarth made a dead Seta on the government last ses Sion for a largely increased appropriation for immigration purposes. It was proposed to vote the ii Sun amount sufficient Only to a port the system then in Vogue. Or. Ross took Strong exception to this and insisted that a More vigorous immigration policy was one of the supreme necessities of the North West. Or. Daly waa not less firm and exact ing.
