GRIT DESPOTISN,

Alexander Mackenzie has but two modes of overcoming opposition—with bribery and | persecution. When former fails he | inyariably resorts to the latter. British Columbia having rejected a semivofficial | proposal to modify the terms of union, is | now suffering the Premier’s vengeance. | The Ottawa correspondent of the Mainland Guardian, a most servile Ministerial hack, says Mr. MacKenzie is well satisfied with | the rupture between Mr. Walkem and the | Combination, since he is now “ happily res lieved from carrying out the proposals to | which, fora time, he stood committed by Mr. Edgar’s letter to Mr. Walkem, of Apri! | last. What may be the result to Columbia of that rupture of negotiations which freed | Mr. Mackenzie’s hands, and of which he showed such promptness, nol fo say eayers ness, to avail himself, is not yet easy to say, It 1s pretty certain for one thing that |

the

ground will not now be broken upon the Paiifie Railroad anywhere west of the Rock y | Mountains until a survey of Columbia and all |

possible vailway routes through it is mad

quite satisfactory to the Dominion As to the choice of routes, that would have been irrevocably settled, as to

part, had the proposals made through Mr. | Edgar been accepted. Now, judging from | the present aspect of affairs and movements | of surveying parties. it is quite possible, if | not even probable, that the route will quite | cross the Province north of the great bend | of the Fraser; and that the termmus will | be on the Pacific coast far north of the latis | tude of any part of Vancouver Island.”

the Premier, “ because I did not give you a guarantee that I would hold myself bound by the proposal he submitted to you! Well, that proposal is withdrawm and you will get no railroad, if {| can help it, for some years to come. I know I dare not refuse to build one, but if I must

of Grit statesmanship which reminds us of a scene we witnessed last session in the | House of Commons. It was after midnight, late in the session; and a very important Government measure was called for second reading. The Leader of the Opposition drew attention to the fact that there was a | very thin House, the measure was exceeds ingly important, and many members who | would like to discuss it, were absent. | Alexander Mackenzie rose, and with all the majesty of a Cromwell, replied: ‘‘ Well, just because the honorable gentleman doesn’t want the bill read to-night, I'll proceed with it,” and he did proceed with it, prolonging the sitting till daylight in the morning, to the intense disgust of his own followers, who gave vent to their feelings

the distribution of the State grants, but in reality toabsorb them. The Indians, too, have been driven from their hunting grounds and transported in many instances to sterile and inhospitable regions, the consequence having been that a feeling of hostility to the United States authority has been engender. ed, which in many cases has been manifest. ed by acts of violence, and in others only suppressed by the presence of armed force. Among all these tribes, quiescant or rest- less, there are always spirits who make it their business to increuse this dissatisfac~ tion, and in order to succeed, appeal to the worst prejudices and superstitions. Among the Comanches prophets have arisen who preach a crusade against the whites if the extermination of the red race is to be avoids ed. The influence which such men as these wield is incalculable. Superstition has ever been one of the strongest motive powers In the world, even among races more intelli- gent than the Indian, whose life and cons stant contact with nature make him receive with deep reverence, revelations supposed to be made to the medicine man by the Great Spirit. Let the untutorea children of the forest once become fully possessed of the idea, that the Great Spirit wills itand then will there be indeed an Indian war of extermination on the side of one or the other. Prophets have beforetime come out before the redmen, and we have seen the result, notably in the great Minnesota massacre. As the New York Herald says : “The redman perceives very clearly, that unless he checks the advance of civilization he will be swept by its tide out of existence. It is natural that he should object to make way for the pale face,and that he should pre fer to die fighting like a warrior than perish miserably by famine and disease. So far the boasted Christian civilization of the white man has brought only death and de- gradation to the Indian. Why it should haye been so is not difficult to dis-

cover ; but why this, so great a reproach,

| . . should be permitted to continue, cannot

be answered so satisfactorily.”

[t has been said that the Indian cannot be civilized, but how many instances have we not had and have we not, now, that he is capable, not only of civilization, but of a high degree of education and refinement. We have numerous Indian reserves, par- ticularly in Ontario, in which we tind Indians —individuals if you will~almost, if not quite as good settlers as the whites, These are proofs that the whole race is susceptible

of improvement, if it is only attempted in | the proper manner.

Certain itis that the same rule would apply to the United States.

He should be trained toa more useful purpose than ‘The true solution of the Indian question, says the Herald, must be found in persuading the to the nomadic life which they followat present, This, it says ‘might require the sacrifice of some mils lions of dollars in the beginning, but would
