MANITOBA ELECTIONS. low the political “breeze is blowing all over Canada is shown, beyond a doubt, by the results of the elections in Manitoba.

last house the Liberals had 23
Conservatives 6; in the next house the Conservatives will bave 26, the Liberals 17, with three places to hear from.
Se who runs may read the lesson of thieremarkable turn-over, It is typical of the change undergone by the electorate
It is
the expression of d sappolntment aud dis-
throughout the whole, of Canada. gust resulting from the broken promiees of the penditures, the increased taxation and ins
Libera] leaders, the increased ex
creased debt. Mr. Greenway was by no | means the greatest sinner amoog tbe | Liberal Premiers; and that which has
uappened to him will, at the first oppor- tunity, happen to all tbe others, including Sir Wilfrid Laurier, himself.

A SCANDAL!
In connection with the Manitoba elec tions, severai of the Federal ministers, in- cladisg Sir Wilfrid Laurier,are implicated in & scandalous attempt to burk the will
oftheelectors. A mannamed Garnot has
| been arrested. Garnot, according to the
Star’s report, is said to have admitted that he was sent for at Duck Lake by a Minis- ter of the Crown, and that he came down from Duck Lake to Winnipeg with the Eon. Mr. Sifton and T. O. Davie, to “work the machine.” He is said to have been armed with a lot of blank baliots, a blaok cheque, signed by an M. P.,and a letter sigued by Sir Wilfrid Laurier, de- claring sympathy ‘or Garnow’s troubles during the Rebellion, and promising as- sistance whenever he should need it. The prisoner is also alleged to have stated to a supposed friend that the bogus baliot busi. ness was to be tried in every constituency, This may explain the confidence professed by the Liberal organs in the triumph of Greenway in epite of the obvious enthu- siasm fora change in Manitoba. will, or course, be further developments,

“THE MINIO” AGAIN.
Tue Patriot has called Mr, Lord to its assistance ia the hope that he would be able to smooth over the unpleasant matter of the Minto. Mr. Lord made a brave effort to do so. practically statements.
But he only succeeded in verifying Tue ExaMIner’s It is true, quite true,—ac- cording to Mr. Lord as well as Tue Ex- AMINER— bat a new slide valve has beep made for the iotermediate cylinder, true that the hawsepipes had'spruoga leak, ard true, also, that the steam winch had to be removed to another position. moreover, about the ashes “‘rejector”—we have to thank Mr. Lord for this word— and true that covers were made here for the winches. A!l thie, and much more, Mr. Lord, directly or indirectly, admits to be true; and it is true. Mr. Lord seems to think that the cost to this country will be trifling; but we await, not without curiosity, the publication of the Auditor General’s report with the amounts shown to bave been paid in this regard |
We maintain that a new vessel, built with special care for the hard work of fighting and{tresking ice,built from special designs drawn after Commodore Welsh and Captain Finlayson had consulted with Captain McElhinney and “the Minister” himself—by the way the$Commodure was paid $10 a day for twelve davs at Ottawa, besidee travelling expenses, in all, $216> for his expert services in this connection needed ali these

But these admissions of Mr. Lord apirt, the-e are a few pointe upon which we dare to differ with Lord says that “The Minto’s” cargo Space three I. OC. R,

of The Stanley is
tous net. If, ther, the net tonnage
eighteen tons greater than the net tonnage of tte Minto, how can the Minto cerry more cargo than the Stanley? Perhaps Mr. Lord will snswer this question.
Mr. Lord, urged by The Patriot, at»
tempts to justify the government’s deser- tion of ‘The Fairfield Shipbuilding Com pany,” from which their‘predecessors re ceived a satisfactory vessel, by saying that,—
*‘Meesrs Gourley Bros, of Duudee, who built the Minto, have made a specialty of building seal hunters avd whalers and ice
> steamers, the last named for the Rus Sian government, for whom they built seven during the last few years.”
The Russian Government is known as
widely one of the most venal and corrupt io Christendom ; and we are asked to believe that ‘he Canadian Go vernment have acted wisely because they have fol
lowed its example! Perhaps Mr. Lord will say whetber or not the Cunard Line, or the White Star Line or any of the first- raie steamship companies ever had a first
class vesse! built by this Dundee Compasy ? If we are vot misinformed, the Ruesian Government did not give its order to the
Dundee Company when it wanted a first- class ice-breaker,—the Ermack for ex- ample. Itis reported that this vessel has “broken composed ice of 8 feet 3 inches in thickness, and bas gone thrcugh field ice of 40 inches, with six inches of enow upon it, at a speed of two and a-half to three knots an hour ; moreover, she has beeu driven at aspeed often knots through clear ice of 24 inches, whilst ice under 18 inches has little effect upon her.” Cons cerving this vesee! Admiral Makaroff caid: A ship was wanted, which would be able
to go into the Nevariver, drawing 18 feet 6 inches. That ship was to break ice in the Baitic during winter, it was to be used in the same kind of occupation in the more northero regions in the sum wer.
They never asked what sort of | ice was before They asked where the ice was, andthen charged it The ship had sometimes to go a3 fast as 15 knots andcharge theice. * * * * * The Baltic ice was 2 feet 6 inches to 3 feet thick ; the first ice they eacountered in their polar trial was 7 feet thick.” It will be interesting to note how the Minto will stand in comparison with the Rugsian

When thev have learned this /their promise will be worth making an effort to obtain.
