- NEW BRUNSWIDK ELECTION.

Mesers Biarrz, Emmerson & Co., have seored a great triumph in New Brunswick. That is tosay, the Dominion and Provin- cial Goveroments, in close alliance, have obtained a victory over the Provincial Opposition. This result the Provincial point of the big majority is altogether fortunate. For the prudent Govern- ment of the country, a strong and vigorous opposition is essentia!. But the small opposition remaining in New Bruns- wick is at all events “straight.” Its mem- bere can’t be bought, or bartered for upon occasion. They will fight the bad measures ofthe Government,—and await the next turn of the political wheel.

The means by which Messrs. Emmerson & Co., won their victory were groes and ecandalouse. The spectacle of a Federal Minister, controlling one of the largest of the srending departments at | Ottawa, riding from town to town and | distrct todistrict in the espiendid palace car maintained at the taxpayer’s expense

It ie freely admitted by correspondents of the Liberal press that “the desire of the Province to be in line with the Dominion Government probably had more to do with the result thar anything else; and the “desire” of the Province wae, witbout doubt, bezetten by the promises of mem- bers of the Dominion government, Cer- tainly the Dominion Government cannot complain that the Province has made any bones about the majority. They cannot make any excuse for non-performance of promises. New Brunswick is to receive substantial benefits from the Dominion Government on account of the grand victory of Messrs. Bisir, Emmerson & Co. This is well and clearly understo1-

THE FAILURE AT WASHINGTON.

Ix the course of a recent interview at Toronto, Sir Charles Tupper, commented upon the failure of the Liberal Commis~ sioners to come to terms of reciprocal trace with the United States. He said— “the question of the Washington treaty> bas, unfortunately, ended in disaster. The time was never more favourable than the present for cbtaining a just and fair con sideration of Canada’s rights, But all | hope of that is at end now, and the diecus- sion which goes on from day today only presents @anada in the humiliating posi- tion of grovelling at the feet of the United States and asking for favours. That was not what was expected by anyone, but only a fair and just consideration. The ques- tion may be considered at an end, and if the treaty is made it cannot now;possibly become law. The only hope of that we have being by the act of the Senate, which is now io session, and as that bedy will riee on March 4th, there is no hope of the treaty being ratified. The treaty will have to be discussed in the Parliament and press of Canada, and therefore it cannet become

operative.

UNITED STATES’ POLICY.

The Senate of the United States’a few days ago, passed the following resolu- tien:

“ That by the ratification of the treaty of peace with Spain it is net intended to incorporate the inhabitants of the Philip- pine lelands ‘into citizenship of the Unit- ed States’ to establish on enid islands a Government suitable tothe waats aod con- ditions of the inhabitancs of said islands, to them for local self-goverament, and in duetime to make such desposition of said islands as will best promote the interests of the citizéns of the United States cad the inbabiianis of said islands,”

PARTY ANIMUS IS

The Guardian hardly knows how to de- fend the new arrangement for the convey- ance of mails between Cape Tormentine and Aulac. It complains that “ unfortunately there is so much party animus in the discussion that it is very difficult to ascertain the exact facts of the ease,” —although the New Brunswick and Nova Scotia exchanges on its desk today date back to the 12tb and 13th of Febru- ary ! With Moncton, Truro, St. John and Halifax letters and papers a week old, the Guardian fiods i: “ very difficult to ascer~ tain che exact facts of the case ” as io the carriage of the P. i. Island mails by our Island Goveroment. We greatly fear that the difficulty really lies wich our contem- porary’s speCtacles. If the Government were to take the carriage ofthe mails between here and Cape Traverse away from the P.E.1. Railway and give it to the owners of party livery stables, the public would easily see where the “difficulty” lay when the mails were delayed along the road—and the Guardian would see too, if the party spectacles were taken off,

NOTES AND COMMENTS.

——— - --

The Nelson(B. C.) Miner (Ind) puts in w neat plea forthe Senate. It says: “Better to havea Benale that will oppose the schemers and wire pullers of one party than to have no Senate to oppose those of either, Betterto averthalt the evil than none of it. With a partisan Senate, the country is at least protected against the rash legislation of one party ; let us hope that with the increasiog honesty and in- dependence of the electorate the Senate wil] cease to be partisan, and will offer iteelf as @ protection against the rash iegislature of both parties. In the meantime, there is something gained in keepiog the half in check.” The point is well taken.

— Farming, to hand this morning, says : “Mr.T. J. Dillon, Charlottetown, P. E. I., formerly Dairy Superiotendest for the Isiand, has been on a visit to Untario dur - ing the past few weeks attending the dairymen’s meeting. He reports dairyiog as progressing on the Ieland. Some 7,000 more boxes of cheese were made in 1898 thanin 1897, besides a large quantity of butter. Early im January Mr. DilJoo addressedthe Vermont Dairymen’s Con- vention at St. Johnsbury en “Cheese- making.” A Vermont exchange sneake of his address as follows: “It was conced- ed to the best paper on the sibject ever given before the aesociation.” That such @ statement should be made is not at a!) surprising to those who know Mr. Dillon’s work as a dairymav, He is one of the best all-round cheese and butier-makers n Canada.”

REGARDING THAT TREATY.

Hon. J. Israel Tarte Writes an Arti- cle ‘for La Patrie.

Hon. J. Israel] Tarte having returned from New York, where he discussed the chances of obtaining atreaty, writes the following in La Patrie :—

“‘The work of our representatives at Washington has been arduous. They have neglected nothing to secure a treaty with~ out sacri‘cing our public dignity and our national interests. They have dove every- thing in their power in order to concilitate the American mind and if it bappens that the interests at stake and the exigencies of politics render abortive the work of the commissioners the conference even then will net have been in vain.

“It will in fact, have teen of great util- ity and ot inestimable value from a national standpoint, because it wil] have brought

about a signal raproachement between our two countries and permitted our public men on both sides of the line to know and appreciate each oher, our Dominion and our leader, Sir Wilfrid Laurier, a new prestige aod an enchanced reputation abroad.”

The above appears to give up all hope especially when one reads between the lines and in order to keep up the com= edy a little longer, Mr, Tarte adde :

“But we are atill among those who believe that the international com mission will bear fruit and will have results within the limits of the protocol.”
