A government on a matter of in ainu How could we dare continue our opposition it there were any lingering repugnance on the Park of member to their of past three Yean Here waa Assurance beyond All doubt that the free at Leut would not dare reproach them with the fact. There a the Belt for saying that ministers took thu Tourte in dealing Frith their followers and that the muzzling of the free press1 was represented to them in strongest Light. We took a Lead in opposing the fint con tract with Northern because amongst Oiler reasons of the omission to provide railway facilities for the people of Manitoba. The second con tract included provision for that purpose and when it waa repudiate by the contract ing company the Frea frees was the first in daily edition. Freedom in Trade. Liberty in Boll in civil monday 1891. Mozzy Tang this of bib a Bess. A minor Organ of the local they Are All minor organs although among themselves there Are degrees of littleness at some length the for rants to tha Hudson Bay railway and the Canadian Paci Fie expresses the View that it will now be in order for the free press to suddenly discover tint the Greenway government is Juat the thing granted for we believe the Organ is entirely Fine Ere in the belief that the free Preas would do this or in the opinion that it ought to do it according As the sentence May be understood. The free press happens to know that the utterly contemptible course of the government in relation to these two matters has Cost it the rapport of a number of Best and inst influential friends in the province and especially in this City. It could not be otherwise. Men May be Blind to the Ordinary dishonest courses of ministers and re Twe to believe that this act 01 that was tinged with corruption but the Complete Shulti fiction of itself in dealing with the Hud. Bay railway and in Ita course with re Epact to this Souris Extension is a Gross a a Moon Tain and can inspire honest minds with nothing but a feeling of contempt. Yet there Are others so supremely stupid As to see in such conduct matter worthy of Praise. That they supported the government in first dealing what was supposed to be a death blow to the Hudson Bay railway and in in subsequent coarse of Dimion Laurion and treachery which had the effect at of keeping Back that Enterprise three Yean is to them no hindrance to their support of an entirely opposite policy and sur gets no shame in their giving it. There is Good reason to believe that Amonti the government s followers in the House there were not a few who Felt the awkwardness of accommodating themselves to this new h. B. Policy. They had set out three years ago in ready obedience to the then wishes of the government to kill the scheme if abort of that there were no other Way to kill the men who were promoting it. They were sincere then and a policy of help now was opposed to their but it was represented to them that a general election waa not far off and that it was necessary to prepare for it. The h. B. Had a bold on the country and the people had to be word was also circulated that if an arrangement could be made satisfactory to the company the free press would be we believe it to be a fact that Sev eral of the members were coerced into the Gen Era Shulti fiction by ministerial assurances of the neutrality of the free press if a. Settlement were reached. With the h. B. Question out of the Road the default of the Northern Pacific with respect to the Souris Branch made Good and the free press As it waa hoped to be the Way would be smoothed for a ministerial March to Victory at the next election. Such was the Prospect held out to those members in whom still lurked a More or inns vague notion that consistency waa a political virtue and which proved tempting enough to overcome their Norn Ples. Since the inception of the h. B. Scheme the free press has advocated the largest measure of Aid consistent with the resources of the province believing throughout All those years As it believes now that any expenditure in that direction would be recouped Many fold. It had advocated the gift of this very of a million and a half of dollars if it were found sufficient for the purpose it could not therefore oppose the voting of thai Bonus especially As the company bad signified tha it waa enough to enable it to Complete Ita financial but no agreement that the government and the h. B. Company could possibly make would be allowed to the free the government May it ratify itself even in the doing of a proper act in order to conciliate Public Opin Ion the Frea press will approve the act itself Tut it will not shut its ayes to the motive of it nor agree that a dishonest government Baa thereby become an honest one. While always Friendly to the scheme it has never been in Jet to . Or control h a a free now As at any time in the past Vid is not in the least disposed to per Mil it or the government or anything the two of them can do to put a muzzle upon it Bat if such an expectation was potent enough to influence members what would it be Wrhen supplemented by the farther one in connection with the 0. P. Agreement with these two interests in Friendly relations with the government the free Presa would be muzzled indeed among the Many and curious in which the free pres has been placed by the bewildered and not Lew be fogged of the government was that of 0. P. Organ. Were we not bound body and soul to that corporation Anc if it Friendly Tenna with the Tor a Twu corollaries Are Rea olred. The higher the Addla the greater the danger of a header and the farther Back the Taw the danger and the higher the Saddle the a Giaier not to fall to aide just a it in easier to keep upright on one s Finger a Long stick than a Short one. ought to be doctors of philosophy to the least of understanding the but we ate protest. Have Weinoe urged the claims of that Azotion of the province to consideration and we do not object now because that con i ideation Iii extended to it. We Are not in a position to judge of the necessity of the Bonus of that a the government s Busi neat and it takes the responsibility. If the free Preas were behind the scenes As it ii it would exp Reaa an opinion. But As to the necessity of extending railway facilities into the Souris Cist Riat there can a no doubt and with that in itself we Ore and cannot help being satisfied. But that act any More than the Aid to the h. B. R., Doea not make a dishonest and incapable government an honest capable one and the free Pree will Nob say that it does because the instrument of the government s policy in thu respect happens to be the c a r. It is As Independent of the c. P. A it a of the h. B. R., and As Independent of both a it of the go itself. Apropos of the foregoing is the suggestion contained in the following extract from an editorial in the government s City Organ it is not because the government Boa Given the Aid that the review and Ita friends Are Whin incr it is became the agreement be tokens Friendly relations Between the q. P. And the local government. This a Gall and Wormwood to the enemies of the government. Or. Van Home is too Clear headed a Man and the interests of his company in the buoys by of Manitoba Are too great for him nol to recognize that the Greenway government was a flip conducted m the Best interests of the country and that it waa in the interests of his company to Nee it retained in it May be mentioned that another reason than that it would muzzle the free that waa urged upon government members Why a Deal should be concluded with the c p. For the Souris Extension was that ii would secure the of thai powerful corporation. That there is still i Hope though evidently a somewhat done ten on that this Baa been accomplished a made Manifest by the Organ. Tho free Presa a not aware that theatt tudo of the 0. P. Towards the government was hostile even before ii waa Besought to do what the Northern Pacino had repudiated nor do we know that the Deal Haa altered the previous Ever it might have Way or another. We incline to the opinion that for some time past the 0. P. A a position so far As All the provincial governments Are concerned Tot a included Haa been that of absolute neutrality and furthermore we believe that this master of the government having under duress of Public opinion appealed to the . For Succour will have a More effect upon the company than a clean Chip upon a pot of porridge. We think in this Case As in that of the free press the government was either Labouring under a terrible misapprehension or trying to delude Ita followers. So much for that phase of the question. Now one word As to on the part of the opposition fearing that the c. P. Will Render the government political Aid. Speaking for itself the free press a already indicated apprehends nothing in Tho shape of political interference but while by no Means Ohal Benging the .r. To support the govern Inelli we Jere at All concerned having no fear of the consequences even were that to come to pais. The Are will be the same in any event when the people come to speak at the polls and that notwithstanding that monstrosity of the election act. The government Haa binned beyond redemption despite All possible adventitious excepting the .r. Of what keeps the Ciciole right the average Winnipeg bicyclist will answer this a nation without a moment s hesitation it a kept up by his Superior manipulation o machine or by his Superior Riding a bib a the same thing. But a Learned doctor who Haa been discussing the question in the popu Lar science monthly would laugh at such no answer. One theory was that the bicycle is aunt aim t in its upright position by the principle o gyration which keeps a spinning top on its Point. But in the Cacie of the bicycle in a obvious that there is no gyrating around a vertical Axis. The Gyroscope Moab lean or fall if it leans Little it revolves slowly if much it revolves faster. Attempt to make it move in a straight course and in instantly Falls. Not no with the bicycle and therefore Somi other principle Muat govern it. It is thought too that the bicycle Doea not Al simply on account of its going so fast but the Force of Gravity causes the rider to tilt and a will not be sustained in his upright position by Forward movement alone. The Forwar motion is at right angles to Gravity Aud there fore does not resist it. Nor is Centrifuge Force the counteracting influence for As Long As the body moves in a straight line that Force is impossible but it would be of assistance in turning Corners. Even skillful balancing Addei to centrifugal Force will not preserve equilibrium for if it could a rider night sit on big machine when not in motion. The Ordinary Bicy Chat cannot do this and yet he ride a at More or less Speed without any apparent Effort. If balancing and Rapic Forward motion were sufficient it would nol be necessary to make the hands moveable and All bicyclists know that if the wheels could not be turned to the right or left it would be impossible for them to keep up after onco beginning to tilt. The explanation however is very simple. The weight a applied at the Saddle and is so great that the Centre off cavity of the Wineki is very close to that Point. The lines of Force pass from the Saddle to the Points at which the two whales touch the ground Aud As it vertical line from it Falls Between these two Points it a impossible for the machine to tip Forward or backward. The lateral equilibrium is preserved by moving the wheel to the right or left a required. The boy Clit Lut is say is Riding towards the North and finds himself Tilting to the right. He is then going Ewt As Well As North and by turning the wheel eastward it quickly gets under him again As the Point of support Musl of Nece cavity travel in tha plane of the wheel from this it a easy to understand that the faster the machine moves the easier it is to keep from falling. From this disquisition of the Learned Doc science of their own motions afraid that All of them Are not. The k. P. A 8 Btl Ott. Yams for Yor Ktuk More South a route to the Canadian Northwest. i h no Stock of the Dian Pacific no Captain Holmes the colonizing agent who has been working in South Dakota for the past month returned to Winnipeg yesterday and with him were Twenty four people from the locality of Aberdeen who intend settling the Toronto mail evinces a Moat Praise in the Yorkton District. This afternoon worthy desire to keep itself Well informed on eighteen More South Dakotas will arrive All Manitoba matters but somehow it never with seven cars of Stock including 90 head quite succeeds there is some detail or other Twenty one settlers will reach Here to that it almost invariably seizes at the wrong Morrow with 50 head. These with Twenty end. Here is an example Behlers previously arrived with nine cars some Days ago the mail1 Diw edited the o mme the Captain explained that the reason Why Pacific on the ground that there most be y Yorkton was selected for the settlement of a clause in the charter prohibiting Amalga j these people was because they were assisted mation. It. Turns out that there is such a by the cauda settlers loan co., which wan a rink to Jne j log Ely enter egged in the lands of that District to pay off their indebtedness in Dakota. No particular District was recommended or even a suggested by the government but it was natural that being aided by the company they would be sent where that company Wai interested. Captain Holmes said that prob ably 200 families would be repatriated before 1st november next As there were Many others anxious to retain to Canada. The great majority of those already arrived had been in South Dakota from eight to ten principally originally torn Elgin county on the largest crop they bad secured in All that time was eleven bushels to the acre and that Only once. There were a Large number Over there who Weie anxious to Migrate but were unable to do so. Being too heavily encumbered with debt. Some of these will remain in the expectation of gathering a crop this year with the proceeds of which they Hope to free them selves from debt but if it fails they will leave everything they have and come Back to British soil. The Captain gave the free press a few instances of Many that could be cited of the oppression which settlers in South Dakota Are subjected to. One Man who is in the party which arrived yesterday borrowed 38.25 two years afro last november. He had to pay for the loan and the a blocks took away his Yoke of to pay the debt. Another Man who is also in s the Samn party borrowed 9100, but Only received balance being taken for commission fees Etc or. Clark s White liniment t the greatest stable sad household liniment of the period. In pint 0ttles, Only 50c. Endorsed by leading livery men in City and country and by the great horse ranchers of Alberta British Columbia. Sold everywhere. Oo-3 proprietors appears to Nave been there was never at any time a report that the Transfer mentioned had been made the report was that it was about to be made or was under Way. And there an few in Mani Toba who now doubt that such a step is contemplated. It will not be prevented by any clause that May happen to be embodied in the Northern Pacific s Manitoba charter. That company does not Ore value of a pin for any agreement made or stipulation entered into with this province As was very clearly intimated a few months ago in a letter from its presiden t to the government of Manitoba. Id is acting under the Dominion charter and held itself entirely Independent of us As no doubt it can afford to do. The reported bargain was not a source of exultation among ministerial Jour nals a few Days ago or at any other time before or since. They know that when the bargain is the government will stand More completely discredited than Ever a it will be the final and fatal link in the Chain of evidence that its whole railway policy has been a wretched failure. It will mean that 4he province has paid in one Way and another a million and a Quarter of dollars to a set of rail Way sharper in St. Paul without having received a single be Iest in return. And if the mail will reflect for a moment it May recall the fact that it is the Only news paper in Canada outside of Manitoba that applauded the rascally Northern Pacific. Bargain with the Whitehaven Baa furnished farther cause for rejoicing to the unionists. It is a Small North of England Borough having Lees than votes and was carried by the tories 1886 and 1886, by majorities of 211 and 106 respectively. A by elections have been going daring the past few years Here were Small Odds to overcome and not unnaturally the lib. Kerala were hopeful of carrying it. That they did not is probably evidence that the tide which has been running so strongly in their i Tver has received a Check unless there have been Strong local influence sufficient to account for the result. It would seem however As if the English constituency had grown a Little weary of Home Rule and Irish faction fights and was indeed disposed to resent them. That is More particularly the lesson of Aston and mid Oxfordshire than of Whitehaven. There Are four or five other elections now pending and if the tories hold their own in them As they have done in these a dissolution is not far off. Communications to the editor of the free press.
