Simon this. 3-00 oneyear. 6-00 advert cements occupy my Iob simply the growth of s custom which has come naturally enough and has proven to be invaluable in practice but id Lias never in any manner been openly recon Aize Dasa distinctive feature of our Parlia Ben Tarj machinery. The Leader of an opposition has Many Dutieu to fulfil and is oppressed with the weight of Many responsibilities. Custom has made the opposition As much a feature in our parliamentary system As the government. Iti Leader is forced into duties belonging to the position which demand a Large portion of his time and therefore entail much personal sacrifice. He ban often More anxieties than minister As Well As More exacting duties add these Are forced upon him because of that Evo Lution in government which made an opposition necessary. He is far More than a private member and therefore not to be treated on the basis of font. It is eminently proper that the custom which exacts Theta duties and responsibilities should be made to go further and give them substantial recognition. This is what the Ontario legislature wished do in the Cane of or. Meredith and which it a said the Dominion parliament will offer do in the Case of or. Laurier. The Prin Ciple involved is that the Leader of the oppo motion should be in actual fact and so recon. What he has Long been in theory an essential part of the machinery for the con duct of Public in fact official recognition of some kind should be Given to the functions of an opposition. The conscientious Leader gives up much of his time to the service of the Public and it is but right that he Bouldin a measure be recompensed for it. The paltry sum of in or. Meredith s Case or in or. Laurier a would but inadequately represent the loss to his own personal interests which Hie Public duties would entail Bud to that extent at least in would be a recognition of his sen ices and what waa deficient in amount would probably be regarded As More than made Good in the establishment of the principle. The Ottawa leaders May resolve not to be outdone in self sacrifice by the leaders at Toronto in which event we commend to the serious consideration of or. Greenway Tho suggestion that he and the Manitoba legis lature make the next attempt to establish this principle. Instead of allowing his followers to dip hands into a scant enough Treasury by voting themselves indemnity let him not under How just and Graceful it would be to vote a indemnity to the Leader of the oppo Ritzco. No one knows better bad himself the Aad worries and1 sacrifices that belong to the position and Bow faithfully a cob Leader the Dicha Etlou Nob a vote would carry with it. To anticipate the and very Clever of the ministerial party the presi hastens to that it is not asking this for or. Roblin bub for the Leader of thin opposition. After Tho next general election or. Goblin will no longer be in opposition and if or. Greenway still the Taite for it he will in All probability find the position again open to him. An Leader of the left the free Frew would be glad to see him in receipt of an indemnity More in pro portion to the duties be will have to Dis charge. The Kail Way Ever since the Early Days of railway development a the Western and Northwestern states of the adjoining Union a conflict hag been or Long on Between the railway manage ments on the one Eide and the people on the other. The latter remembering More the grievances of the earlier Yean Bare regarded the corporations As their natural enemies to be subdued and controlled if possible and if not to be resisted. Time the great healer has removed Many of the causes of the popu Lar exasperation and the people and the rail ways Are gradually drawing together but their differences Are not All adjusted yet and they constitute what is regarded us the railway problem of those states. Such As it is in has been made the subject of a handsome volume published by the d. D Merrill co., St. Paul and of which or. A. B. Stickney is the author. Or. Stickney is Well known to Many Iii Winnipeg and throughout Manitoba As the first general manager of the Canadian Pacific railway. He posse aes exceptional qualifications the task he Haa undertaken. For nearly thirty years be has bad More or less intimate ecu Recti of with railway enterprises either As promoter constructor or manager while for Many years in Hia capacities As Farmer manufacturer banker and real estate dealer he Boa been one of the he Haa thus been in a position to study and understand the question from the standpoint of both sides and that be do it intelligently the Render of Bis work will judge for evidenced by the fact that Uia judgments Almit invariably lean towards the Side of the people notwithstanding be is now and has been tar a number of years the general manager of one of the Large railway systems entering in so. Paul. Or. Stickney modestly disclaims any pretensions to literary Merit in his work but it a Only fair to him and due to the Worl itself to say that in Thia a does himself ices than Justice. It in written in the highest style of literary of Grace simplicity and directness which is the surest guarantee of capturing the Reader s attention and retaining it. The publishers slave Doue their Pird in completing the inter est and pleasure that will be Felt in n volume that deserves to be widely read. We do Noi propose to engage in an Elanor at review of or. Stickney contribution to the solution of this railway the proper regulation of those enormous corporate Powers id Bair relations to the people in a question of consider Able magnitude and of Groat pressing interest. Or. Stickney Dis cusses id always entertainingly always fairy and we believe with Good judgment from the Fondati in up. He takes Minnesota As typical of All the other states goes Back to the first Days of railway construction and traces the problem As it gradually develops Hugh the various stages of construction management discrimination Competition Tariff growth and All their abuses until for their own Protection the people were compelled to resort to what is called Granger Legisla Tion in which attempts have been made to abolish discrimination Aud regulate Competition on a fairer basis than any affected by the managers. In done this the railway history of those state is necessarily written and to railroaders and those interested in their occupation the volume will be found Replete with n formation of the most substantial kind respecting the operation and resourced of All the principal rends.

He accompanied Wells through All the trials. The other Whiten and natives employed in the work of the expedition were discharged at Alaska. Altogether Over Ico persons saw service at different times As retainers of the explorers. Or. Wells Days none of us attempted to travel beyond the River i of Jordan As newspaper reports imply. We paused starved upon the Bank. To Cor rect fanciful statements published. I briefly present some facts prior to the publication of illustrated narratives and geographical re ports. The expedition originally consisted of five White men and Twenty nine a Bilikas indians. We left the Fuciu Yonut at Klack Wau Alaska May a 1890, to Crosa the Chili knt mountains by a route never before travelled by White men. I. Kran of Berlin had previously ascended by another route to Tho Summit of Ohil Kats on the of an Side and had looked off into the country beyond but and returned without entering. Our party wan the first to descend on the far Side of the Divide. After a 112 mile March Crosa mountains glaciers nud torrents a Large Lake was found and named Arkell. A smaller Lake was named Mauu. Lake Arkell proved to be the main Reservoir of take River and we claim it to be the source of the Yukon River. The headwaters of the Yukon were located by Lieut. in silk out mountains further South Tho upper end of Arkell Lake. The native packers were All discharged save Indian and returned Home. E. J. Glove Aud John Dallen were then detailed to do exploration work on the unknown Zuzok River sup posed to be close at hand. They successfully accomplished the undertaking. Law them no More. Glove a narrative has already been published. The main party continued explorations on the Lake and then on Tob a River which was mapped. The severe sickness of a. B. Schanz next necessitated a change of plans. He waa left at Surveyor Mcgrath s Camp on the Yukou River in Oare of a doctor. I then enlarged the party by adding two White miners de Haas and Legett and started on the Long contemplated journey Overland into the Interior marching through an unmapped Region for Fie veral Hundred Miles. The scenery wan chaotic grand desolate. The Moon seemed to have photographed the impression of itself upon the face of the Earth. Leggitt went Bank to Hia Gold claim. The four of us remaining preened on Aud were finally reduced to desperate Straits by starvation. A Mountain trap enclosed a in gloomy silence. We blazed Large fir Trues and wrote Pur Sariee Date and directions As to our intended route so that our Fate might per Chance one Day be known if we failed to a agape. Baffled in one direction we floated Down the hitherto unexplored River for 150 Miles Ami dad exciting adventures and hair breadth escapes from finally 70g Miles to a Trad in if poet. The narrative of this journey will fill pages. Subsequently with five men i made a journey of Miles in the cold Days of fall and Winter using dog teams Aud sleds for 300 Miles through Snow. We reached the South Ern Conns of Alaska in safety having fortunately been joined by Soba Lez labors in the Interior had been important. It appears that after he bad recovered from Hia ill Caa he left Surveyor Mcgrath s Camp with two men undertaking a Skiff journey Down the Yukon. He finally met a trading beat Aud took passage at St. Michael s. He ascertained that do Chip would Call before july 1891, and supposed his anecdotes of the expedition would be out of Alaska Long months before he could ret away. An Opportunity offered for doing special Independent work and he promptly embraced it undertaking with be Nail agent Greenfield an adventurous journey of 900 Miles and doing geographical work of import Ance upon the Way. Finally Schanz wont into Winter Quarter while or Engeld kept on to Kodiak. Shanz prepared for a sledding journey with a White trader for a companion Aud a number of native associates. When his preparations were nearly completed the other explorers of the expedition suddenly appeared taking every body by Surprise. Schauz made Hia journey of planned in the coldest Moc Tbs of Winter endured hardships bub was successful m mapping among other features of the country the second largest body of fresh water in Alaska.
