This second opinion has been Mau featured for the Occas Ion and the occasion is to violate Ito own act by an illegal payment of Money in the Hope of regaining a portion of the Catholic support. Or. Sifton probably Hopes that his complaisance will stand him in Good Stead in North Brandon and there is Little doubt that the ministerial Eye was squinting violently in the direction of South Winnipeg when tha ministerial hand appended its signature to the Cheque.

The subject of the division in the commons on wednesday morning was the want of Confidence motion moved by sir Richard Ovic Wright on the Day or. Foster made Hiu budget speech the 23rd of june. It was in Amend ment to the motion made by the minister that the House should go into committee of the whole to pass the Tariff changes indicated in that speech and reads a follows that the speaker does not leave the chair the main a rally of the Norfolk opposition forces. The policy and actions reviewed toy messes. Cooper Mcdonald Boyd Roblin and a gel. The political picnic at Mcgregor on tues Day was an unqualified Success a very Large number of the electors of Norfolk with their lady friends enjoying the Outing. At 3 p. The speaking began or. Cooper of Portage opened and was followed by or. A b. Mcdonald of Portage who gave the defunct Joseph a Nui Teble obituary notice. The next speaker was or. Boyd who had opposed or. Watson in the late context. He made an effective speech and quoted figures and state ments Marie on the floor of the House in sup port of his Contention that the policy of the conservative party is the one Best suited to the needs of the Dominion at Large and Thi s province in particular. He was enthusiastic ally applauded at the close. Or k. P. Koblin the Leader of the opposition was then introduced and was received with much enthusiasm. After expressing his Yip Aure at being present and also at finding so Many ladies attending who he said he Felt satisfied would cast their influence with the opposition because they proposed to do Only what wan honest and right he dealt with some of the questions prominent m local politics. A great Man once exclaimed of that mine enemy would write a but our political opponents have not written a Book but. They made some few Days Radway. Proved the Success which believed it proprietors of the Road would not allow the interest to be in default As by so. Doing they would reduce the value of their investment of say in building the Road by a a far greater amount than the guaranteed interest. It was Only the one event of the Road failing to be a practicable one that the country would have been called upon to meet the guarantee. He Dis cussed the franchise act pointing out Ita iniquities us introduced and accorded Praise to the opposition for their Earnest fight against its outrageous provisions resulting in an act bad by comparison with any other in any civilized country but purged of some of its most obnoxious provisions. In response to Calls about the libel suits he shortly reviewed the same to the great amuse ment of those present and closed with heavy bpvotes8 of thanks were tendered to the speakers the chairman the ladies and the Carberry brass band which at intervals Hod enlivened the occasion by excellently per formed selections.

But that All the words after that in the main motion be struck out and the following so Sti tried re resolved that the situation of the sue country requires that the government should forthwith reduce All duties on articles of prime daily edition. Of Lorn la Liberty in r Malstr in civil the government Organ in this City comes 4o the defence of its masters Tor the illegal payment of Toney to the Catholic school Board of Winnipeg. In fact it publishes two defences or explanations one in the form of editorial and the other in the form of an interview with or. Smart who As acting provincial treasurer signed the Cheque. It will excite Little Surprise to discover that they do not agree. They Are both false and known and intended to be false but in their haste to get their explanations before the Public the organist and the minister did not Stop to consider the importance of having _ Only fair a it was Only fair and to pay Over this Mony. Then Why was it not paid a year ago when it became due did it Only be. Come fair to pay it after laying a year in arrears if the government is in that penitent mood to do Only what is it ought to have repealed the Law which is any thing Bat fair. But fairness which is an excellent Quality in itself is often overridden necessity and More particularly on those most rally consumes by miners none men and Farmers and further that the negotiations which the House has been in torm dare to be opened at Washington in next should be conducted upon the basis of the reciprocal Freedom of Trade bet Woen Canada and the unite states in manufactures As Well As natural pro it is but simple Justice to sir Richard s skill As a tactician to explain that this Resolution was intended for use in the country in the by elections. He draw the line dividing the two parties Trade question still More clearly so that the constituencies were appealed to there should be As ago at Virden which lie purposed to review fir a Little time. In the. Speech made by . Greenway on that occasion he is reported As Savins that owing to the saving of his prov Ern ment they were Able to make to municipalities while the ate government or. Koblin than gave the following figures As from the Public accounts irom the year 1882 Down to 1890 under the head of Aid to municipalities Bridges Public in 1882 elpendedm763.13 out of a total Revenue of or 20 per cent of the total receipts 1883cthey expended out of a Revenue o. S501.254.12, or 15 per cent of the receipts 1884 they sex them harmonize. Or. Smart says it was by statute. It is in this Case. Or. Smart to be will use All his in fluence to secure the repeal of a Good Many Laws which have been paused at the instigation of the government of which be is a member but As Long As they re main the Laws they Are to be observed. The act in question was a special favorite with the government and was put in the statute Book with a great nourish of trumpets and the sounding of cymbals in the government will not set the fashion of observing Ita its own very particular can it expect others to be mindful of their responsibilities under them especially if overcome As they May be at any moment with an impulse of fair or. Smart we think May be dismissed with the expression of a regret that he did not Start out a Little earlier in life with the intention of doing the fair and pro per thing All round. The Organ gets Over the difficulty with greater ease still. It is Only a Case of two Law yers differing in is All there is to flippant of course but it is expected to go Down with the Public nevertheless. The difference of opinion is As to the boundaries of he two school districts. As recently As the 23rd of december Ift St or. Martin who Opi Little doubt As possible As to the marked differences Between the ins and the outs on the question of Freer Trade relations with the United states. He could n6t but have known that the vote in the House would be less favourable to the opposition than some others already taken As two at least if not three of the Quebec members who usually vote with the liberals were committed to the Trade policy of the present perhaps to speak More correctly were not in favor of the unrestricted reciprocity of the liberals. A motion involving these differences had already been voted upon and those members had gone with the government 5 they could not consistently do otherwise on the More formal Issue presented by sir Richard s motion. It was cer Tain therefore that the government majority would be swelled beyond its regular or natural strength. The first want of Confidence motion under or. Abbott s Premier ship gave the government a majority of 20 other motions involving want of conf once were Defeated by majorities of 19 and 23. It began to look As if the government could not count on a straight regular majority of More than 20 or thereabouts and the effect of this throughout the country was undoubtedly prejudicial to the present administration. How far it was Good politics to disturb this impression by giving government an Opportunity to swell its majority to 27 is a mat Ter which the leaders themselves must be allowed to Settle to their own satisfaction if they that on the very question which those leaders have been working with All their might to make the principal if not the Only Issue before the country. Per coup. Viletra the c a Pended for these purposes out of a total Revenue of or 184 per cent s and first half of 1886 they expended out of a Revenue of 053.59, o Riner Cunlif the last half of 1886 and to expended out j Revenue or 1u, per Ceny. Of All receipts. He omitted what he called the broken period being the year in which the change of government took place and gave the following As the amounts expended Dakota emigration.

In 1890, or last Yew 87782043, out of a Revenue of or 13 per cent., making an average under the late government 14.70 per cent., As against 1276 for the present administration. Or. Koblin said he was simply astonished to find the first minister to make such a statement As he had read and could Only account for it on the hypothesis Thane maintaining the rep. Station teak had been Given him by Hon. Jos. Martin. Laughter had or. Greenway to have told the truth he would have said that he had changed the system and was giving the municipalities certain Rathe than expending it through works department., or. Said he was no apologist of the eminent but Justice and fair play demanded an exposure of such rank was contained in the statement quoted. He next quoted from or. Greenway Virden As follows in View of this it would have been a tardy forms government to pay four millions of dollars for what they sold get for Oneff Leonanda ring to the Aid to the h. B. K., or Hod Lin exposed the attempt to deceive by showing that m the one Case it was a guarantee of interest on Bonds of the company to the amount named for which the province might not have been pay out the other it was a Lump sum of of actual Cash. Another statement he bind of Dossar proportions. He then to air Greenway a remarks touching the franchise act and fits Al tempt to justify it because of the nature of the Dominion one. Or Bosun said when or. Martin was running in Selkirk or. Greenway was on nearly every platform in Southern Mam Btu Pink for him and his due com plaint waa the attempt to snatch a verdict from the people without making a fair list. Yet the Echo of his. Voice had scarcely died this item a such an extravagant statement and so far from the fact that i feel called upon to ask you to five me. Space in your columns for a contradiction of it.

It is now said that or. Oli Sord Sifton holds it different opinion. This however be it understood we shall have to take on Trust As no one knows that the attorney general has Ever said anything of the kind. Bub if this is the opinion of the government to Day Why does it not withdraw its contrary opinion of december Are both to stand As the opinions of the govern that the boundaries Are coterminous and therefore that the Law applies and the Catholic school Board goes out accordingly and second that the boundaries Are not coterminous and therefore the Law does not apply and the Catholic school Board still stands which is it to be it will be obvious even to or. Smart and the Organ ii hat it is inconvenient to have both. In that portion of the Public mind tha has Given any thought to the matter there will be no doubt whatever that or. Martjn enter relation of the act is the Correct one the Catholia school District of Winnipeg Oomes within the scope of sections 178 an 179 of the act and As a consequence it ceased to have a Legal status on the 1st of May 1890. That being the Case the payment of the Money in question was Clear illegal. But observe How. The government i its haste to excuse itself proves too much is the name government yet it sways two different ways in the space of six months in obedience to the views of its two attorney generals. Or. Sifton to it is now claimed holds thab the oat Holio school District of Winnipeg is Nob abolished and that the of the Money was perfectly Only Legal but perfectly proper and necessary. Then if that be so Why Nob pay for the two half years for which the government is still for for thought that there was More importance to be attached to emphasizing the different policies on the Trade question than to the Mere Addi Tion of two or three or half a Dozer to the government s Normal majority. And perhaps he was right. The developments of the last election showed clearly that the Trade ques Tion had a deep hold on the minds of the peo ple and that the trend of popular feeling was towards More Liberal commercial relations with our neighbors across the Border. That it is not unlikely will-., count for More in the constituencies that will be opened within the work to make act that or James stated to be a an was an Hundred fold More infamous and unfair than the Dominion one Over was. Or.

It is not too much to say that in the constituencies the Trade question vitally important As it is will be completely overshadowed by the depart rental corruption and Rascal ties that have recently been brought to Light.
