A competent expert of Large experience testified under oath a few months Ugo that it ought not to have Cost More than that sum. On the same occasion or. A Chin testified that the Road was mortgaged for a Milo. It a therefore proposed to recompense the prov Ince for the breach of contract to Tako Over n Road that a Worth Leas than a mile but which is mortgaged for a mile. In other words to Are to assume a liability of a mile without anything to show for it this might suit the company but it would to death to the province. The com Pany stands to win in any Caso. In got a Bonus of a about in Bridges right of Way Aud other advantages. To was Given Power to Bond to the extent of a mile which it did. It was Given extra bonding Powers on its Winnipeg terminals by which it made u. Clear gain of at least it realized altogether in Bonds Aud bonuses from to a mile on its entire system and when it absconded from the province it carried away with in the difference Between that sum and the cont of the Road or n Clear gain of a mile Leas discount on Bonds and Boodle for the boys. This was a most profitable trans action for the com Piny. And. Now to give a fitting Climax to the whole in is pro posed that the province should take Over the Roud and pay interest on the a mile of. Bonds As Well As on the amount of bounces Given und have to show for it a Road that we could ourselves have built for a mite. Aud Tho Brilliant statesman who More than anyone Eue is responsible for this situation in now asking for the votes of the people to duped to Send him to the Dominion Parlia that he could be suffered As u candidate an All even Lor a Day is discreditable to the Good name of Tho province his election would a a lasting1 Dii Coffou cations. Mauricio11garure now coming to the front. Daily edition. Freedom in Trade. Liberty in Rell civil commercial Union Means annexation. Commercial Union with Canada will carry our protective Tariff line about the entire nor them continent and for All purposes affecting the material welfare make one coun try of All North America. There effects Wou id be almost immediate and after they had been firmly secured then would come political Union and Complete amalgamation of people and purposes. The making of new Northern states is at an oud. Any new Northern states must be curved from the British dominions. It a m this direction that Northern statesmen should now turn their eyes. The existence of Canada with its possibilities of growth As an inde pendent Power and with its Border of More than Miles along our Northern Boundary is a threat of Gigantic proportions to our int arc. If continued before Many years it will necessitate the maintenance of an army in this country As great As the Anniea of Europe. All this can be avoided and a future of continued peace and Omri failed Prosperity secured Jor our country by following tip the tradition Al policy of our country and imitating the example of Jefferson and Seward and secur ing before it a too late the enormous and Rich territory to the North of us our of which to carve new Northern states for our increasing population. A few years of unrestricted reciprocity in Trade would make the two people troit Tribune. Monday s meeting. The crowd soon got on to Fred Wade s position monday night buttered entirely mis conceived his audience. The merest Tyro should know that no Winnipeg Assembly will patiently listen while the province is be fouled. Super Irja at our National statistics and then quoting but now seriously from an inauthentic a. S. Consular state ment compiled from unofficial sources was o say the least very bad taste. Wednesday feb. 25, 1891. Or. Martin and the h. B. B. From the reports of or. Martin s meetings in Selkirk we learn that he in still professing to advocate the Hudson Bay railway. This is the Summit of audacity. The people will have no excuse if they Buffer themselves again to be deceived by this charlatan. His record on the Hudson Bay railway question has been fully exposed. If he can have the making of a contract in which he can provide Tor 8500 Milo As a Boodle Iund he would be very glad to have the Road go on at whatever Cost to the province. But he is opposed to it otherwise and his professions of Friendship now Are us empty and insincere Al when using it for election purpose a when., in insincere As when he moved his Resolution in the legislature proposing a guarantee of and which he assisted in forcing through the House. If anxious to have Tho Road built he might have a seen it Well under Way in 1888, when or. Onderdonk nod or. James Ross were Able to show him that tie capital was ready Ai Toon As the Prosin would do its part. When he objected to to amount of the guarantee which he was himself the first to propose they offered Acorn Promise and when that Way rejected they made a proposal for Aid on an entirely new basis. When he objected to Tho presence of or. Hugh Sutherland in the company which was his last excuse that gentleman offered to step out and sacrifice Bis years of labor rather than be a stumbling Block to the Bug Ceca of Tho Enterprise. Or. Martin s objections Scro mat on every Point still he refused to move hand or foot in Aid of the undertaking. So hostile be and in that he ire fused to appropriate the which were voted by the House to Complete the forty Miles and than obtain the land Grant on the Security of which the 000, thanks to or. Martin s enmity to the scheme lab loan to unsecured to this Day. Or. Martin has been exposed time and again As a thoroughly unscrupulous and untruthful person. Or. Greenway said of him that he was a Man without heart or con if in the face of his Well known character As a Brazen vulgar trickster and corrupt insist a single elector of Selkirk allows himself to be deceived by Bis new professions of Friendship for the Hudson Bay railway he will Havo himself Alzotie to blame. Or. Hub Sutherland got the drop on the Peoples Isaac monday night about the honesty of the repeal of the statute aiding the Hudson Bay railway. Truth is mighty and must the fact is neither or. Campbell nor any other person can answer or. Hugh Sutherland s question. The act repealing the Hudson Bay railway act is a disgrace to the Manitoba statute books. Repudiation of legally incurred liability is never justifiable. A Isaac says the Canadian Brender pays the duty on horses of sorted to the United states but Fred Wade says the Manitoba consumer Pili the duty on imported goods. This is a r uce which suits the Goose Bat is not approx pirate to the Gander. Why did t on the and the matter out i tic Sutherland t what do you think of hush e ability a a stump speaker one thing seems pretty Clear any Way the Greenway government and its Tail twisting.1 attorney general Bave sacrificed the Hudson Bay railway and the knowingly Aid wilfully did Aid abet them in so doing. 01 course the company s did t have any a mile clause. Vote for Macdonald and. Against ultimate annexation. Adyt. The so Ihms Kex tension. It will to cheering news to the people of the Souris District to be assured that railway communication with the outside world a within close reach and that next summer will so a Road Well under Way Clear through to the Coal Fields. Thin is a Fervin which two and a half years Ogo. Thu Mani Raia government undertook to see performed. It a clause put into the contract with Tho North Ern Pacific providing that Thore should be a Branch built into thab District fifty Miles of which were to be completed in 1889 and the remainder in the following year. The Mem. Bers of that government Como into Promin ence by menus of their agitation for local this among others and bad thrived on it. But when it came to making a bargain with Tho Northern Pacific the Souris people were Lofb 0116, and it wets Only after a great Deal of pressure provision to accommodate them Una m tide in Tho Nee and contract. But not Ono foot of thab Road Baa Ever been built. The Northern Pacific com Pany has repudiated its contract and walked our of the province. In is the 0. P. R. That is preparing to build through to the Coal Fields and that is already getting into shape to operations As soon As the season opens. In is to Tho c. P. R. The settlers in that District Are indebted for the Early Promise of railway facilities and not to the government made such loud boasting of what it promised to do. That government permitted itself to is is Little doubt thab it deliberately aided in the by Tho company it had a souped so heavily at the Public and the obligation to the Souris people was repudiated. Or. Martin who is chiefly responsible for the deception is now those people to vote for him a a candidate for a seat in the House of commons. In would be difficult to carry impudence to a higher Point than this. Let a recall for a moment the position in which the province finds itself through i. Martin s statesmanship. At present thelem Pitny with which he contracted a out of the province having told nub All its interests Here and treats with contempt the bargain it made. Or. says he will punish in by confiscating to the province the portions of the Road that Are built As he profess i to be Able to do tinder a clause of the contract. That at any rate in his Only redress if the company can not be reached in that Way it cannot be Rea Obed at nil. How would the province Traad inti Clowe the completed portion of the presidential or. Cleveland is a source of great anxiety to the republicans. During the earlier period of Tho discussion of the Silver question he Wae taunted on All sides ridiculed blamed and almost cursed for Nob speaking out Tho in. Plication always being that to had Nob thu courage to express his views a Large proportion of the democratic party was supporting the free coinage of Silver and in was thought or. Cleveland would no dare say anything that would antagonize friends. On the first Opportunity thab d itself hic came out squarely in opposition to free Silver tuba proving for the Hundredth time thai he had the courage of his conviction. His opponents were As displeased a his boldness and honesty As they professed formerly to be at his cow Ardice. They were Given another turn Tho other Day when it was announced on the authority of the Washington Post that to had no intention of allowing himself to be pub in nomination for the presidency. Tie plea sure and Relief it excited Las cd Only for Twenty four hours As it was Given oat on the following morning on the authority of or. Cleveland himself thab the report waa without foundation. He is the one Man the republicans particularly fear. On the other Side no name is seriously mentioned excepting or. Blaine s. He keeps quiet and is making the most of his pan american he is understood to repudiate skin Louism and to hold in i ret place reciprocity with the Cen trial and South american countries. As it looks now he and or. Cleveland will be the candidates. Meantime Congress a passing Tufe new apportionment Bill by the recent census. The number of representatives b to be increased from 332 to there Are 44 states and consequently 88 senators and Roplo for the unpaid portion of the Ranus which they Havo been robbed out of.

In the last Issue of your valuable paper i observed a letter complaining in no measured terms of the election of persons in he Legal profession As members of parliament. Of shia degraded profession i am alas a member. The statements of your Corre Epim Lent Lead me to suspect that he has formed is opinion of lawyers from the character of the gout Etnan who so ably conducted the great French of Promise Case against the immortal Pickwick. Whether Bhat Learned Man would inv made a desirable member of the National Assembly it is perhaps unnecessary to enquire. However thab May be in appeals in my Humble opinion that Tho study of the Laws of is country to far from cramping a Man s ideas will Render him directly More capable of taking part in the forming of such Laws than one who has made no such study. Theta history of the past at least in England s full of the names of distinguished men who joing lawyers have Yeb been most Able politicians. From such a Roll of names it is a Moab superfluous to make any selection but the first Earl Cairns the late lord Macaulay and a Host of others occur to one s mind. At the present time the right Hon. Sir Henry James is an instance of a Man Ziph in the Legal profession and equally distinguished u parliament who sacrificed his chances of advancement both in his profession and in parliament Nob to obtain what your correspondent rather vaguely describes As jut purely from his own conscientious convictions. I however thit your correspond ent s idea of n Good lawyer is one who puts his conscience in his pocket and i heartily agree with him in hoping that such Good men whether lawyers Farmers or any thing else will Nob obtain seats in our Cana Dian Assembly.

A very few years afro i was told that Birtle was the very Best District in Mani Toft mid even recently when the Farmer s delegates from the old country came to Birtle efforts were made to produce a Good impression upon the minds of the superiority of this District. I wish to ask those in authority Here what Tho impression will be in Britain when your Load week s Issue should be seen there by anyone who might have been influenced by the delegates reports. The list indicates that something is wrong and re quires a remedy. Can any of our big wigs devise a cure to alter this sad state of things you May go either North South East or web from Birtle and you Eon abandoned farms and far a which you would be told Are held by speculators.
