A Provincialist and a Hubite, whose names for convenience are Dan and Jonathan, were lately overheard discussing together after the | following fashion :—
Dan—What is your opinion, Brother Jona- than—did the P. E. Islanders play a wise and | winning game by electing a solid Grit brigade | to go up to Ottawa to legislate for them ?
JoxatHan—Well, Ill try to answer your question by asking you another. Did you ever find a system of machinery run as smoothly and eilectively with the motive or oe wheel ae a fly, as when regu-
ated by one?—or a ship keep the desired course as well without a helm and rudder to steer her as with them?
Dan—I see the gist of your illustration. You would have one or more able debaters of | the opposite party among the Grit gang to) balance their wit and check them from rush- ! ing into extremes in their impetuosity ; ¢. ¢., to cool them down when too fiery, and wake them up when too drowsy.

them who has the most assurance, the longest Parliamentary experience, and thinks himself the Adonis and Thunderer of the group will always be the first of them to occupy the floor when any new question comes before the House, sure! And he will be so ambitious to pump himself empty, especially in matters of interest tothe Island, that he will leave nothing for his colleagues to say, unless they inflict a rehash of their leader's effusions on the unwilling ears of the House. Therefore, they can only sit as mutes with their finger in their mouth, trying to look very wise. They may, however, enjoy one advantage,

Again, the larger the number taxed to levy a given amount, the less the rate each will have or It is evident the Great Central Road and ‘ts adjuncts will aid in bringing about this state of things. Second, it is admitted by the Islanders themselves, I believe, that all the provinces* except their own, will be benefited by the road. Leaving the two Upper Provinces out of the count, and looking only at the Island's nearest neighbors, Nova Scotia and New Brunswick, if these be pro- fitted by the earnings of the road, how can the Island miss to share in that profit? But more of this when we meet again. - IP.
Conservative North-West.
(Winnipeg Manitodban.)
That the North-west is, as the Manitoban declared it would be found, overwhelmingly Conservative, no one will now dispute, In no electoral division exeept Saskatchewan, has a Grit candidate made even the semblance of a successful stand. Where the Grits have saved their deposits they have done so by the skin of their teeth.
In Saskatchewan, the seat of the rebellion, David Laird was nominated as the strongest
ible man in the Grit interests. He was rought allthe way from Prince Edward Island to contest the constituency. He stood as the representative of the order of things which obtained under the Grit rule. With the record of the two, governments before them the people were asked to make choice between the representatives of each. Without hesitation they pronounced in favor of the administratioa which has been denounced by the Grits as the oppressor of the Northwest and the mismanager of its affairs. They had not forgotten the days of the author of ‘ No— D. M.’ They remembered the debt of grati- tude which they owed to the party whose leaders have been instrumental in opening up
viz., a vigilant attention to their sanitary con- | the Northwest, and starting it out on the
dition; for I understand one-third of their number are M. D’s. Perhaps these will free the Legislature of all political distempers.
But, under such circumstances, the cozy little Island's claims will not be as efficiently advocated as if some of her representatives were of the Government party. For, an op- ponent is always more apt to detect the suphis- tries,misrepresentations and omissiens of an- other opponent,and to combat and refute him, than is a colleague of his own political feather.
Again, if the Island had returned represen- tatives of both parties, they would be able to command the ear of the House much oftener, than by having them all on the same side, and would, therefore, have a better prospect
career of prosperity which lies before it. Even in the rebel strongholds, where bitterness against those who put down the rebellion still naturally rankles in many a heart, Mr. Laird only obtained a few more votes than Mr. Macdowall. The Metis have come to their senses. They see how they were imposed on Loy selt-seeking grit agitators. They the weight of their obligations to the conser- vative party. Many of them voted according- ly. Others, of course adhered to their Rielite allies.
In the other electoral divisions of the terri- tories still more decisive evidence of Conserva- tive strength was given. The population of

most important, perhaps, that ever occupie
the attention of the Dominion islature. You are probably aware that the P. E. Island Grits have always denounced the Canada Pa- cific Railway scheme. They also succeeded in squeezing much political capital out of it. This they did by insisting—not proving—that such a distant, gigantic and costly enterprise would not only not benefit the Island, but would, none the less, impose an irritrievable and ruinous tax upon its people. Now, waiv- ing for the nonce, all local and _ sectional biases and prepossessions, do the far-seeing and wide awake citizens of the union look upon the enterprise as a wise or foolish one? Do they believe that it willever preve ruin- ous or hurtful in any form, to any province or portion of the young confederacy, not ex- cepting even outlying Prince Edward Island ?
JONATHAN—Since you have confined me to the opinion of our experts, large-minded busi- ness men, [ must tell you that so far as my experiences goes, almighty few if any of such men disapprove of the enterprise. On the contrary, they consider it as the mightiest source ever yet opened for the growth, pros- perity and enrichment of every province of your young but far-spreading country. And especially so, since it is now a fait accompli. Being a grand transcontinental highway tra- yersing vast areas stretching out on all sides, it can't failto draw into itself numberless tributary branches to swell its traflic. This traffic must continue to augment as the years rull on, for an indefinite period; and hence its resources and revenues must continually in- crease proportionally.
Further, its termini tap the shores of both the great oceans of ths Globe, which fact will make it not only a commercial and trave) highway for one nation, but, to a large ex- tent, for all nations under heaven. No doubt the wide-awake, large-minded men in whose minds the enterprise originated and who fol- lowed it up to its completion, foresaw al! these facts and many others which need not be now particularized.
Dan—Well, all you say is very pleasing and plausible ; but as regards P. p. Island, will she not suffer from being taxed to pay the cost of building the road, while her climatic and isolated position preclude her from deriv- ing any direct benefit from the road? I con- fess that had the Island the contemplated Subway this alleged grievance would be largely ebviated ; but she has, as yet, no such boon. ¢ ‘Joun—Admitting, for the sake of argu- ment, that the Subway project is impractic- able, this would not preclude the trans-con- tinental road from becoming beneficial to the little gem of the Gulf. Even lacking the Sub- way there is no insuperable Chinese wall between the Island and the Mainland. In this connection two considerations present themselves. First, By what I have already said, you must have understood that all com-
judges ef such matters, belivvrs that
the questions the day. And then Mr. Ross, though claiming every Grit vote, would not publicly proclaim himself a Grit. He “Independent” dodge, and, no gained something by it. Notwith- his deposit came near going.
In Eastern Assiniboia the Grits exerted themselves to the utmost to pull down Mr. Perley’s majority. In spite of their efforts their candidates received less than a third of the votes cast.
All these things should conceive the Grits that they are not popular in the Northwest. lf they want to know the cause it is this : Our people are attached to their country. They hate to hear it decried by any one, and more particularly by those men who are indebted to it for a living. The Grits for years have been systematically doing their best to injure the Northwest in the eyes of the outside world. The people have spoken out in unmistakable condemnation of them. Let the Grits lay the lesson to heart. They will have to mend their ways before they can hope to bring about a change in public feeling with regard to them. selves.
