respect to

Tuose who second the the Greeaway Government in the judgment of the Privy Council, the re~ quests and orders of the Governer Genera] in Council and the order of the Queen her- self, are striving to make mischief out of a letter written by Father Lacombe, the vet eran pioneer missionary of the Northwest whose influence bas invariably been given in favor of law and order and British loyalty, to his co-religionist, Mr. Laurier. In this letter Father Lacombe says:

“ Certain members of your party Liame me for standing aloof from you and ignor ing you. You have toomuch sense not to be able to understand my position. Be longing to no po iticai party, I have to go to those who have been placed in power by the people. If one day the voice of the people calls you to govern the country, I will be loyal and confident in you, as [ am to-day towards those who oppose you.”

The letter, indeed, seems to have been with the friendly motive of inducing the Leader of the Opposition, a brother French-Canadian and a Catholic, to stand up for law and order and the passage of

the Remedial Bill. But this fact is lost sight of or deliberately ignored by the

mischief-makers. Father Lacombe is- formed ‘Mr. Lairier that © commission of eaquiry could not be ac-

his proposed

cepted,” and that the Episcopacy as one man united tothe clergy would rise in support of those who should support the that Father

the ways of

Remedial measure. Seeing Lacombe is not versed in

politicians, and that he was writing to one

of his own faith, there seems to be neth- ing very wonderful in the fact that he ex- pressed this opinion. But it has been construed as a threat from the “ Hierarchy,’ visions’ of “ priestly domination ” are seen, and

tie crack of the,“ clerical whip ”’ is heard- The mischief makers will do no harm if the people will but remember tbat the Government of Manitoba has lost a law éuit and refuses to abide by the judgment of the court; and that the Dominion Gov- ernment and Parliament is authorized by

isw to remedy the grievauce.

BALANCE DUE THE BANKS.

Tue balance due the Merchants Bank of P. E. Island by the P. E. Island Govern- ment was on the 3lst of January $36,452. That is to say, after al] the taxes that have been paid and all the muney that has been deposited in the Local Government Savings Bank, after the sale of $185,000 worth of debentures and the receipt, in advance,of a whole half-year’s eubsidy amounting to upwards of $90,000 — theGov ernment still owes the Bank about $40,000. Mr. Premier Peters is clever at hocus-po- cus. He has shifted a large part of the debt from banks which are compelled to make monthly statements for publication to an institution of his own, the transactions of which are private; but the burden of debt The Govern New

dress. He said that it must not be supposed that because the ques- tion of the re-armament of the militia was being considered in his

office that others were not assisting, im- plying that considerable help was being given by the Imperial authorities. He hoped that all the corps would be drilled every year while be was in Canada, He was going devote.some attention to mus- ketry. He wanted the men to know something of the nse and care of the rifle.
