Consistency With a Vengeance.

Just now, Grit speakers and writers are trying to make a terrible ado about the Franchise Bill passed last session. They take great credit to themselves for, as they allege, defending the interests of tranchise voters! On this particular subject they have been shedding crocodile tears to a wonderful extent. Now, it would be too bad to allow these hypo- crites to proceed witheut bursting their franchise bubble. We ali know that an attempt has been made by the Conserva- tives in this Province to abolish the | Legislative Council, and thus save the taxpayers a very considerable sum. Such a change would naturally give franchise voters a degree of inftuence which Conservatives believe would be exercised for the common good, But how have these blatant Grits, who wax eloquent about robbing us of the fran- chise, behaved? They have simply fought against such a scheme, and in- vented all manner of excuses to keep the power of the ballot in the hands of pro- perty lolders—those whom, they say, Sir John has favored! They have stig- matized our young men—the franchise voters—as a “ floating population,” and boldly declared that it would be unsafe to trust them if the Legislative Council were abolished. They have kept this incubus on the body politic in existence for the purpose of depriving franchise voters of political power. Still they prate about the Franchise Bill! This is “Grit consistency ” with a vengeance !

A Stampede.

Mr. W. is a great wag, and his sons follow in his footsteps. A few years ago he occupied the old Strawberry Hill Farm on _ the Lower St. Peter’s Road, betore the old farm house was torn down, and of course

|previous to tha farm being divided up

and sold in smail lots. He had also leased Belvidere, lying contiguous. Of course almost everyone knows the creek which separates Belvidere ‘from Falcon- ‘wood. A summer or two before he gave up his leases Mr. W.. found, for some occasion not understood by him, a large assemblage of Indians at Belvidere. They seemed to be gathered from all quarters, from Lennox to Boughton Islands, and even trom Nova Scotia. The weather was beantiful, the nights calm, and the large number of Indians for a few nights seemed with the noises they uttered and their jargon to make things hideous and disagreeable to Mr.

W. and his family. He stood it as long as he _ could’ and then determined to put an _ end

to the pow-wow. Therefore, one might, taking a couple his sons with him aud a couple of old muskets, he with the sons cautiously approached the scene of the Indian festivities. Lying behind a small hillock, some distance above the Indians, they saw a sight of the most picturesque nature. On the bank below them which declined somewhat abruptly towards the creek, and on the level margin at the foot of the declivity, were about one hundred and fifty Indians of all ages, dressed in flashy and holiday garb, some recling on the grassy slope, some sitting, some standing. A large number of canoes were turned bottom upon the shore of the creck, smouldering fires burning, and the slanting rays of the moon threw an effulgent radiance over the whole scene. The Indians had evidently just got through a substantial meal; and were now engaged in a ‘‘feast of reason and a flow of soul.” All, from the youngest to the eldest seemed engag- ed talking, singing and yelling. It was a regular pandemonium. It seemed that the tongues of every tribe of the American Continent was represented there. Hilarity of the most intepse nature seemed to have taken possession of them.

“Now boys is the time,” said W., “Fire off the muskets, and then yell to the top of your lungs.”

Bang went the guns, making all the noise that old muskets have been noted for; and thea the concerted yell from the ahree throats of father and sons, rang through the still midnight air, echoing up and down the vaHey. In an instant every Indian sprang to his or her feet with a howl of terror and dismay, and the whole horde rushed pell mell to the creek—old bucks, young bucks, old squaws, young squaws, and papooses of all sizes joined in the scramble to get away. Since the days of the old Indian wars,there was never such a panic. As they reached the channel of the creek they were soon up to their middles, and in some instances to their necks in mud and water. After their first cry ot tertor silence as of death fell upon the Indians Nothing could be heard but the splash and dabbling in the mud, as the terror- ized beings made their way to the opposite shore. As fast as they reached the other bank they fell exhausted. Where

five minutes before was a crowd of joy-

~ |sight they beheld, to even laugh.

(ous, hilarious Indians, all was now silent )and deserted. Mr. W. and his sons went home, too startled themselves at the commotion they had stirred up, and the It was only in after days, when they recalled some of the scenes, they would lie down and roar until the fit was over. W. and ibis sons will never forget the ludicrous jaffair. The next morving not an Indian or @ canoe was to be seev. It is possible that the Indians still relate the terrible dangers they underwent, and wonder at the nature of the fearful noises which terrified them. Since that time the creek does not seem to be a place of popular resort for Indians.

; > i a ene ‘The Future of the Anglo-Saxon : Race.

We are glad to hear from such a typical American as ‘Adirondack ”’ murray such warm sentiments in favor of the union of the Anglo-Saxon people as the following, which we clip from his coum :

Talk about Imperial Federation as a political device! The prophets had best hurry their utterances, and fix the date too, or the actual fact will be celebrated before the oracle has spoken, and what was to be prediction will be only nar- rative. Was it really Canon Farrar, an english ecclesiastic, that pronounced that eulogy on the American General the other day, or did the lightning get bewildered onder the sea, and spell the name and title of the eulogist wrongly ! And was it in very truth Westminster Abbey where the generous praise was spoken and the solemn pageant held— the great mausoleum where Fame sleep- less watch above England's honored dead. The high-rifted oaken rafters beneath which Wordsworth and Nelson, Scott and Wellington sleep, have lie- tened to the praise of Longfellow and Grant—of men born across the sea, beneath another flag. But of the same stock—aye, there's the key that “ reads the riddle well.” The English race ‘in many climes, and soon to be under raany flags, will still be one. Of ene taith, one language, one genius in com- merce, One form of liberty, one phase of civilization, fraternal and united in peace and love forever. That's federa- tion in truth; a federation that makes this continent one, and the old mother island one with us, and the islands of the sea and continert shores peopled by those who, like us, went out from her to seek new nests because the nest at home was overfall, and because, perhaps, the old mother pushed us out somewhat roughly. Bat however we went, or wherever we flew and feed, we never forget, we Avglo-Saxon-American-Cana- dian-Australian stock, that we were all hatched in an eagle’s test and are eagles ourselves, blood of her blood, bone of her bone, and flesh of her flesh. How is that for federation?

Free Trade and Protection.

The position of a free trade country in its relation to those who have adopted protection as a national policy, is aptly shown in Lord Salisbury's reply to the deputation of British sugar refiners who waited on him, complaining that as a result of the fiscal laws of the United States and other countries, pot only were they deprived of an outlet for their products outside the United King- dom, but serious inroads had been made even in the home market, thus rendering unproductive the large amount of capital invested in the trade, and throwing out of employment and driving to foreign landsa large number of workmen who would otherwise by their labor build up and strengthen the land of their birth. The Premier frankly said he could see no remedy. |Eugland’s free trade policy made it impossible for her to offer reci- procity to even a nation that was willing to accept #, aud she could not retaliate when her goods were shut out of another country, nor even threaten reprisals, by which means, as the minister said, evils like that complained of would speedily be cured. All the comfort that the depu- tation carried away with them was the expression of a hope that foreign nations would ultimately see their way to abolish duties altogether, a hope, the prospects for the realization of which seem to grow more siender as the years rollon. The fact is the British sugar refiners are very much in the same posi- tion as were those of Canada before 1878, and the remedy that brought about the change in the colony would operate with equal efficacy in the mother country.
