—Montreal Gazette: No Canadian Gov- ernment ever entered on a contest against so variageted an opposition as faces the Con servative Ministry to-day. There are in the field Liberals, McCarthyites and Patrons, and some apparently irreconcilable Con- scrvatives who differ with the main bedy of the party. It will take a cleverer man- ager than Mr. Laurier has yet shown him- self to be to prevent this diversified array from cutting into each others forces and so

neutralizing the strength of the whole. The conditions are such as to make the chances against the fleld.

—Montreal Gazette: There is nothing more certain tham the possibility of the Liberale being successful on the 23rd June will tend te depress trade, and if

they are successful on that day the de- |

pression will become more marked. Nei- ther importers nor manufacturers will venture on extensive operations until they know, what the exact fiscal conditions will be when they are completing them. The Liberals, abetted by the Globe, are advo-

cating a revolution in the principles on | which the tariff is based.

—The Week (Independent) says : “We do not ourselves believe that the Opposi- tion will have advanced their cause an inch by the course which they have tak- n. Itis possible—we do not think it probable—that they may gain a majority at the next election. If they do, their troubles will only be beginning; for this question must be settled not by a denial of a grievance in Manitoba, or a refusal to remedy such grievanee; but by a settle- ment ina manner that will give reason- able satisfaction to all parties in the coun- try, and thus bring about peace.”

iby Mr.G.R. Cockburn, and they will | probably make the fight a hot one from

Mr. Laurier’s practical abandonment of so many Oatario conrtituencies shows that he does not hope to secure a clear majority in the next parliament. The worst that can Eaoeee the conservatives is that the McCarthyites will hold the balance of power.

| allow me space enough in your valuable ' paper to explain mattere, and to tell you,

Norihwest been mentioved than Mr. Con

intended goiug to the Northwest to settle down, all the harm possible, therefore you can imagine how anxiously I have await- ed each issue of Tuk Examiner to see how much of a showing up was in store for me. And, now, sir, although Mr. Conway has evidently done his utmost to “show me up” in said letter, I will leave it to the general public to judge which ef uz, after they have read both lettera, has been shown up in their true colors to the best advantage. He has seen fit to hurl all manner of names and aijlusions at me, with only his own word—which the public hereafter shall know cannot be relied upon—to back itup. And now, si*, I have in my poases- sion a document, in the shape of a printed letter in the columns of THe Werekty Examiner, which belies me, slanders me, and if his word is te be believed in prefer- ence to mine, puts me in a very unpleasant position before the public. Therefore it is my duty to answer Mr. Conway, and | will try, as any gentleman should do, to use only gentlemanly language until the public hears both sides of the question, and judges whether or not the other person de- serves to be addressed otherwise.

And now, Mr. Editor, will you kindly

the Dominion Gavernment, the Kev. Leonard Gaetz, the C. P. R. Company and the public in general precisely what I did ray, and what I stand prepared to prove, and also endeavor to “show up” this very much imposed upon man in the light in which every man, woman and child should see him.

To begin with. On April lst I met Mr. Conway. I was introduced to him as a gentlemen who had lately arrived home from the Northwest. No sooner had the

way says,“Ah, Mr. Burke, then you would know all about the Northwest, orat least that part of it in which you have been living. What part of the Northwest have you been living in?” To which I answered, “I have spent about ten years and Fort Saskatchewan, and lived about six months in Vancouver, B. C.”

“Weil, what do you think of the North- west in general, or more to the point,wirat

which I aaswered, “Between you and me, Mr. Conway, I don’t think so much of that part of the country as I used to do.” “Well, if you have been in that part of the country fur the ast year you should be able to answer that question as wellasI. My faith in that part cf the country has been badly shaken during the past summer, and I know from my own personal knowledge thata great many people are wishing to-day tht they had never seen those parts. i don’t say every- body who lives in that part of the country is wishing themselves out of it, I say a great many are. There area great many people who had great hopes of realizing all their fondest anticipations and no doubt should have done so had it not been for the destructive fires which swept the country last year.

I saw at once that this dida’t agree with Mr. Conway, so he immediately told me that if I told that to anybody else in this place it would hurt hie business, as he was organizing a colony of settlers to go out to the Red Deer district to settle down.

I told him that I didn’t intend to go about lecturing on either the good or bad | points of the North West, but if anybedy |

came to me and asked me fair and square | if [ would advise them to go to the North Wes’, I would certainly not advise them, lest they should not do as well as they have been tcli they would, and then would,turn and put all the blame upon my head. I would tell them the truth about the country, as my personal knowledge and contact with the country knew to exist, and then let them take whichever course they chose.

Mr. Conway then asked me what busi-

ness I had been engaged in while jn the

Of course, finding that hia knowledge of Poiicemen, and Police duiies in the North West, were so limited, l asked him what part of the North West he had been living in, to which be replied that he had never been further north in the Territories than somewhere south of the C.

FAREWELL TO P. E, ISLANP. Dear Prince Edward Island, loved home of my childhood, Thou beautiful garden and lend of my birth; Farewell to thy rich groves of evergreen wildwood, Twas on thee my footsteps first press- ed mother earth.

Farewell to thy green tields which fondly I courted,

When each one to me was an emerald gem;

Where my schoolmates and I in playful- Less sported,

And wove many chains from the dan- delion stem.

Those chains were love’s fetters, which bound us together,

Our hearts then were young, free irom sorrow and pain; :

Bu‘ crue! death and fate has those friends and me severed,

And ne’er on thy green soil shall we met again,

Farewell to tLe Hillsboro, North and the Elliott,

How oft in those bright sparkliag

waters I laved,

Whilst life doth remain forg*t them I wi!] not,

And hepe to remember them beyond the grave.

Farewell to the graves of my father and and muther, Loved parents, 1’ll meet you in Heaven

abo: e; Farewell to the graves of my sisters and brotber,

And once more, farewell though green Isle that I love.

Yet, once more, farewell, my loved Island

of beanty, I will not, I dare net now bii thee adieu;

For if I shall live, as in sacred-bound duty,

With arms outetretched I wil! return to you.

which gave me my living, and otherwise do the country all the harm pussible, as

well as the people who are lovking for a better country than P. E. Island.

Now, Mr. Editor, I ask you to decide whether or rot what I told Mr. Conway I should do, and which I have adhered to, namely, the truth, ought to hurt the Northwest or the people who had their minds made vp to go to that part of Can- ada. I don’t think any right thinking man or woman will say I did wrong in any way. Mr. Conway admitted that he had

What Itold him could not uvtruthful, nor of a nature to hurt the country, au i should he find out that he bas made a misstep I will be clear of a! blame.

Mr. Conway referred to the Government reports, of which he usual!y carries a full supply, bu’, unfortunately, didn’t have any with him that day, and to which I replied that Governmeat reports were al! right in a way, but possibly the report for the fall of 1895 had not been jesued vet, and, therefore, the report ef the year be- fore wasn’t a reliable guide to goby. This is the whole conversation perta ning to Government reports which was alluded to upon that occasion.

As regards his statement about fettlors being bribed to give testimony in eaid Govera ment reports, I positively affirm that no such statement was made by me,

Nor. did I say that the statements of the Rev, Leonard Gaetz in the House of Commons were false, as well as a hypo- crite, and more of an enemy than a friend to Canada.
