When the announcement was made from Ottawa on Jan jury 1 last that the minister of the Interior Hotd a cured a Grant of in Aid of the Dominion exhibition which Haa been go great a Success the local newspaper Organ of the conservative party was belied by a nervous attack. it poured out hysterically spiteful language against or. Sefton. The out break of abuse was squelched without delay by those to whose authority the must submit and no More was heard of its absurd attack upon the minister of the Interior for securing a Dominion Grant in Aid of the holding of the Dominion exhibition in Winnipeg this year. On the contrary columns bore witness to the enthusiastic commendation of Tho undertaking by the business men of the City. Irrespective of politics. The in was rightly regarded by everybody outside the Telegram office As a matter of business not of As such commended itself to every resident in the West and particularly people of Winnipeg. Exhibition is Over now. And the local conservative Organ has Hud perforce to Beur testimony to its having been unqualified Suc Cess. So great has been its buc Cess that the Organ feels itself under constraint to explain away its bad break on january 2 last. The or pan would be better advised to keep bullent in this regard but Stice it has elected otherwise. To endeavours to explain away its hysterical attack of Savun months ago make it desirable that the truth of the matter should be set Forth. The onslaught which it made on the minister of the. Interior my be hummed up under three Heads. It excitedly denied to him any cred it whatever for getting the Dominion Grant it Del tired still More excitedly that he Luid no business to fix upon 1001 for the holding of the exhibition said it bitterly charged him with having delayed to take notion there was not time for the carry inc out of the work. He was lampooned in Large Black capitals As the Liberal ids action was denounced As political trickery and As a cheap performance und the closing sentence of the conservative Organ s silly editorial exhibition of Small mindedness was this or. Sir ton has behaved in this Matte about us badly As he could dam to to wonder that those Lii party authority Over the Organ hastened to up press its hysterics. The now Playa in attempted of its performance on january i that a Grant of. Is Given every year to gome exhibition in the that with the support of the manufacturers it had already been assured unit this Grant would come to in reply it Only iced to be pointed out that the government is under no obligation whatever to make a Grant of n year to some exhibition in the and that Only two such Grants have been made the one having been for the holding of a Dominion exhibition i Toronto und that the Grant for the holding of a Dominion exhibition in Winnipeg had by no manner of Means already been the Best proof of this latter fact is that when the came from Ottawa on. January 1 that the Grant had been secured arrangements were for the sending of a Strong delegation from Winnipeg to Ottawa to ask that the undertaking of a exhibition in this City Shau d be ass listed out of the Federal Treasury. The personnel of the had menu decided upon. That there was lot time for this proper carrying out a us the conservative Organ Ronto Nojd on january 2 was promptly by Jar. Gordon the pres Lilit of the Winnipeg Industrial. By or George f. Gait and by the Stirr gentlemen prominently identified with Shii Tull big. The Grant made which was because from Toronto made out a Strung Nso in favor of its being not asked for until five months the open Long of the Dominion exhibition in that City. The Toronto delegation went to Ottawa on March 20 and the Dom Inion in Toronto opened its the following August 27. Point to be borne in mind is that the Man Lster of the. Interior the Gnu to of Tho. exhibition in Winnipeg mainly is Parr of his immigration work. It in quite possible that had it been purely a question of holding a local fair de void of any special purpose with re Gard to the promotion of immigration next summer might be a better time for Tho holding of it than this summer. But the immigration Pur pose was All important As air. Sefton said in hl3. Address in opening the exhibition this is the psychological moment of the Dominion of ton f. had come in the immigration from the United influences were being brought to to Check it. It was the duty of Theta minister of the Interior to Deal with the situation thus he judge is to the desirability from an immig Ratley Point of View of holding the Dominion exhibition summer., speech at the opening of the exhibition or. Sefton needless to say did not dwell Poji the influences at to cd tick the inflow of settlers try ten across the Boundary. Something has recently said regard to these Knappen. The of3 the in mob Ratlan it the Calgary will to found reproduced in to Day s free Prass. And it is Well Worth study in ills connection. What or. Sefton mild in his speech in opening the exhibition was this sir it is eminently desirable that to should furnish the purpose of bringing visitors Lipon these grounds from Many countries and , that they May sen that the. Stories which our immigration agents have been telling in regard to the productive capacity of tic coun try were in no sense exaggerated. We in pc from below the United states Border in the last few years received less than Ono Hundred Thoa und of the finest settlers. We arc not satisfied in receiving one Hundred thousand. We Are Only making a a klan Long in putting population these vast territories. We reds of thousands More the same kind of men. And we ure glad to have this exhibition so that the representatives of these people Nav come Here and see thut every word spoken to Tho people of the United states with regard to the capacity of the country is literally thousands of or. Self Tony put Lenl opponents recognize and appreciate that neither he nor Friend of hta has brought politics into this Mottor from beginning to end. And that on the contrary Tia minister of the Interior Hus regarded it As a matter of Public business not of . The Only dragging in of Violl tics been by the local conservative Organ whose present attempt to justify its abusive attack or. Sefton in Janu Ary last for having done his duty in a manner highly advantageous to the interests of lie West is prompted by u Small minded partisanship incapable of seeing things in their True proportions. The session. The fourth session of the ninth parliament of Canada which closed yesterday has been notably a constructive session. The grand trunk Pucino legislation and the new militia act Mark important advances in the do minion s development and we l unquestionably be looked Back to by future historians of our country is out Brand Long events. The Dundonald Epi Sode As is now Plain to a demonstration owed us Rise in part to lord Dundonald s opposition to the Princi Ples embodied in the militia act and is to be regarded As having been of great Public service in thut it has led to a formal and comprehensive setting Forth once and for All. Of some of the doctrines of responsible government As we have it in Canada about which there appears to have been some mis conceptions in the minds of lord Dun Donald and his sympathizers. Other legislation which has attracted attention was or. Brodeur s Bill which provides an effective method of preventing the tobacco Trust from Bort Long to improper methods a Sninski its rivals in this country. To do Busi Ness at All the concern in question re quires a government License and or. Brodeur s measure provides that if the stipulation is made with any dealer that the condition of bin being Al Lowed to handle the goods of Tho Cern in question is that he shall not handle the goods of any rival concern then the government May revoke the License. The question of curbing the trusts is one of the main Public questions of the Day in the United states which is the great Breeding ground of these Protection fostered institutions the Brodeur act provides a Means for dealing in the Public interest with the attempt now being made by the tobacco Trust to crush out All Competition in Canada. Or. K cd Dong s legislation providing an effective Delco in prevention of dumping is another no table measure which stands to the credit of the session just closed. A matter of Money. An incident of the Dundonald controversy has been a concerted attack. By the of the press upon the Globe for having charged the late general officer com manding with advocating Large expenditures for mall la purposes. Lord Dundonald himself posed us a much injured Man in this connection when he spoke in Massey Hall. Seldom has there been a More obvious attempt to raise a Cloud of dust for the Pur pose of facilitating a Retreat. Noth ing can be clearer than that the Dlf. Fern aces Between lord Dundonald and his minister originated in the expenditures recommended by the former and vetoed by the latter. The government had been spending from a million to a million and a half a year More on the mall la than had Ever j been spent before thereby incurring j the censure of the conservative of j position for extravagance but this increased expenditure struck lord Dundonald As most inadequate. Ill complaints about defective artillery Lack of training grounds the bareness of the Canadian Northwest Etc., Etc., establish clearly that his programme was one of very considerable expenditures for which the minister to make himself responsible statement made some months since.1 lord Dundonald admitted that he pro posed capital expenditures aggregating sonic twelve millions to be spread Over two or three years. The Issue Between lord Dundonald and Hie government was one ref Money. The general s idea was a Hlll Tury budget should be larger than it with great Jean ital outlays periodically sen Bible canadians who agree sir Wilfrid is the part of Wisdom to keep out of1.Tho vortex of Militar ism will be found in the other Polit ical Camp. The alien labor act killed. Sir Mulock k s Alfen Tabot null increasing. Tho provisions forbidding bringing in of alien labor under contract or under Promise of work was slaughtered in the Senate yesterday by the old parliamentary. Expedient Orf taking it out the Bill which was introduced in the commons late. In. The session did not reach Tho Senate until the Day before the Date net for prorogation and by a Little discreet obstruction the conservative Ecna tors. Prevented its passage. In Connie Lotteo when y amounts that soon would have run into millions of dollars the government while willing to increase the expenditures by am Lollon or so a year thought -that1 there better uses to which the i Public. Revenues could be put than building up a pretend jobs and costly mall la establishment. The conservatives appear to have taken Dundonald to. Themselves As they even talk of nominating him for a constituency. It is therefore not unfair to ask them to accept the responsibility of undertaking to put lord Dundonald s programme into operation if Given the everybody who thinks that Canada shoud spend four or five trillions a year on the mall la Minto arrived to prologue Parl lament and there was nothing for the com Mittee to do but Rise thus killing the Bill. The opposition to the measure was carried on by senators Landry Sulla inn. Do and forget All conservatives und the Success of their efforts is a purty Vic tory. Whether it is it Victory that will be advantageous to the conservative party in the Long run remains to be seen. There was a Strong Public opinion behind the proposed legislation and us defeat by a trick of this nature will be very unacceptable to very Many electors. Meet however is that of the South Western railway association. More than a year ago those Allied lines organized a Bureau of publicity and Colonl Ulon at St. Ind put unlimited capital into the they issued-1 All the Freo transportation required und gave a corp of Bright Nieh full authority to put at Tractive literature before the Public. 11 As an evidence of the Scafo on which they Aro proceeding i am told the Clil Tiso Rock Island and fac Fla null read issued annual pusses Over its nolo system of ten thousand Miles to Luna operators Jilorne last a car.

A trl Bulc to the efficiency of Tho Canadian department of agriculture and its alertness in watching1 for opportunities to cd to id Caniullan produce is paid by the Mark Lane express. U leading agricultural and commercial sniper of England in its Issue of july Lith in these terms i have Judi received a piquant and pertinent illustration of the direct manner in which the Canadian Board of agriculture enters into the life and Enterprise of the Canadian Farmer. The British military authorities have recently entered into communication with the Board with the intention of inducing it to tender for the Supply of beef to tie British troops at curtain Distant stations including Maui. Of course this is not the first occasion on which the colonies have Boon re sorted to for meat for our troops but my purpose in stating the fuel is to show How direct an influence the Ennu Jan organization is1 on the weal of the Farmer. By Means of tie excellent machinery which it possesses it is not Ine iely to bring the suggestion of the British War on acc to the know ledge of the Canadian agriculturists but is also the menus of securing tie tender at a Proult Nolc Price. In effect the Canadian Board secures a Desir Able and ready Market and by its sex Proi Slons secures too a speedy and cheap moans of fact Ivy sch will Timve to be considered when we Are called upon to compensate British agriculture for Tho accentuated Competition inevitable under a system of a Union station for Winnipeg As suggested by or.
