TARTE’S BAOKDOWN,

Tue Pieveer, of Summerside, refers to the loyal resolution passed by the Liberal- Conservative Conference concerning the warin South Africa and the duty ef the Government of Canada in respeet thereto —which resolution was seconded by Mr, Gilbert DesRoches, M.L. A., of Mis- couche,—and says * ° * * We are pleas- ed to see that the Tery representative for Miecouche so far kicked over the party traces as to adwinister aslap in toe face to those Tory journals and politicians which would have us believe that al! French~Canadians are disloyal and traiters at heart.” This is a specimen brick such as the Liberal papers cf Canada are ‘now shying over the land tocover the back- down of Messrs Tarte, Laurier & Co. in re- spect to the Canadian Contingent. It is not mecesssry te say, that the breath ef sus- picien has never fallen upon the loyalty of Mr. DesRoehes, or that the great major- jty fof Mr. DeeRoches’ cenpatriets are wholly free from the condemnation into whieh Mr. Tarte and hie follower, Sir Wiltrid Laurier, fell. The fact that these gentlemen, having discovered the truth, are harking back and talking loyalty and support for our armies in South Africa, is sufficient proof of this. Tory journals or politiciams mever tried to make the publie believe that all French-Canadians are dis- loyal. They simply called cttention to the published words of Mr. Tarte and Sir Wilfred and to the dilatory action of the Government in respect to the Cana- dian contingent. Then the loyal peeple of the whole country—Freneh as well as British—roee in protest; and the Gevern« ment was compelled to act. Dr. Jenkins bas well esid that “ Our Frenck fellow- subjects in this proviuce are now educated and intelligent, *° * * * and further, lam proud to bear testimony to their loyalty, which is amply proved by the furnish- ing of their brave sone a full testh to the Island contingent, whereas in population they are less than a tenth.” To cast upon these men the reproach which Tarte and Laurier have brought upon them- selves ia the foul play of the Pioneer.

THE MINTO.

Tue Patriot has much to say regarding the Minto and the work she is doing in the ice (save the mark). The Stanley, which is now taking a rest at Georgetown, is pronounced an inferior boat. However thie may be, Tme Examiner learns from a source that may be relied upon that the engineering staff of Th2 Minto have to work over time and that it has been found

PARLIAMENT OF CANADA

Sir Charles Tupper Scores the Gov- ernment.

After the mever and seconder of the ad drees Sir Charles Tupper announced that his remarks en the occasion would be cen* fined to the quest‘on of the con.ingent and the relation uf Canada to the Empire.

On this matter he was sorry that he ceuld mot agree with the remarks which had been made by the mover and seconder of the address. It was with the deepest possible regret that he was compelled to dissent from the statement made in the second clause of the adiress as to the pesition which Canada occupied.

WHAT HE DISSENTED FROM.

He took exception to the statement that evidence had been received ef the pro- found devotion and leyalty of the entire people of Canada to the sovereign and is- stitutions ef the British Empire. It was with extreme regret that he was compelled to say tbat in his opinion the word “ entire” in thia clause should be replaced by the worde

“overwhelming mass of the people of |

Canada.” To use in the address words which could not he sustaised by the actual facts was no advantage either to this country ortothe empire. He had always felt that thie was a question away beyond any party consideration and he bad from the outset treated it from that

point. HISTORY OF THE CONTINGENTS.

At this last statement some expressions of dissent could be heard from the liberal benches, and this led Sir

question. He began by reciting briefly the references which had been made to the South Africa difficulty, during the last session of the House, when it was made quiis clear that the conservatives were ready*and willing to assist the govermment in such measures as might be usefully adopted, Ie the letter which he had sent to the premier be had not donfised him- self within the bounds of the resolution ; he went beyond the question of sym- pathy. Feeling strongly en the ques: tion be wished to put the premier in pos- session of his views, and therefore he had said:

“We are bound to give all the aid in our power to her majesty’s government in the present crisis,”

NOT A PARTY QUSSTION,

He did thie to show that he was pot desirous of making any party capital in cennection with the matter. On returno-

ing to Canadafrom England, on the 18¢h}

September, the very day on which all the London papers declared war inevitable and findisg that nothing had been done by the goverpment and that all the other colonies were in advance of Canada, he had expressed himeelf in «a public address in Halifex, in the strongest terms, urging the government todo something. It was with great regret, however, that, On the 4th of October, he read the interview, which the Globe correspondent had with the Prime Minister.

Instead of acting upon the suggestion which he, Sir Charlies, had made, and which he believed was endorsed by the whole country, Sir Wilfrid said he hed carefully examined the law and found it impossible to do anything withcut the direct authority of parliament.

AN OPPORTUNITY L°ST.

He felt that the premier, but it was not on this ground that he regretied it (laughter), had lost a great opportunity. The country, however, !o#t a great oppor- tunity (hear, hear). He, Sir Charles, took the beat means io his power to im- prove the condition of «ffaire, and there- fure on October 5ih, he forwarded a tele- gram to Sir Wilfrid, urging him to send a contirgentof volunteers to South Africa, and assuring bim of the hearty support of thé opposition on that event. Unfor-

tunately the telegram he had seut fiom | Yarmouth, never got beyond Halifax, and ;

it was not until several daye afterwards that it reached the premier. It did not produce the desired effect.

PREMIER WENT TO CHIGAGS.

Sir Wilfrid had said to the Globe that it would be unconstitutional todo apy-

_and having said this, he departed to grace

-acivic exbibition im Chicago, while the

‘ether ministers dispersed a'l over tbe country

| Sir Charles said that he now approached

| a part of the subject with deeo regret.

The speech {rom the throne had not corr-ctly stated the case when it is said that the people of Canada were of one mind on this eubject. He proposed to | give the evidence to show that on this

subject there were differences of opinion | even in the cabinet itself.

| Mr. Tarte haa shown his powerful! in-

fluence in the cabinet en other occasions, | and it was regrettable that in this he had adopted a policy of hostilities to Great Britain.

The minister ef public works had just / returned from France, a %ceuntry which was in the bitter antagonism to England and which gloated over every misfortune te British arms.

Mr. Tarte became imbued with the at- moephere with which he had been sur= rounded aad in the course of # speech, he said:

‘‘T return te Canada more Frevch than ever; France is always my dear ceuntry.”

MR. TARTE’S OPPOSITION.

*© CRIMINAL AND FOOLISH.’’

If Mr. Tarte bad said he was a French- Canadian and was so under all circum- stances that weuld have been allowable, but coming frow a country distinctly hos- tileso Great Br tain and stating, as he did, that he would not bea British sub» ject if he could not be French first, was in- excusable. Ee, Sir Charles, would not | characterize such language, but would leave it to ome of the gentieman’s own orgaas, La Soleil, which spoke of it as | “criminal and foolish provocation,” (op~ | positien cheere.)

INVUTERATE HOSTILITIBS TO BRITAIN.

It would have been impossible for aay person to have assumed a more deter- mined, inveterate, undyicg host lity on any subject than Mr. Tarte bad steadiiy pursued oa thie. Ia his organ, La Patrie, which never *poke on questions of policy unless at the dictation of Mr. Tarte, he had characterised Messrs. Bergerson, Taillon and others as “crimieal cow- ards,” because they had pointed out the proper c urse which Canada should pursue.

“What have we to do with the affairs of Britain ?” asked La Patre.

‘What interests have we in the Trans- vaal ?”

} THE LANGUAGE TARTE USED.

Was such language as thie, Sir Charles asked, calculated to strengthen the hands of the Governmeat. At St. Vincent de Pau! on October 10:b, Mr. Tarte declared that the Government had not come to any decision on the subject. The government, he said, would be happy to further the departure of those of warlike instincte, who were such that they had to go, but he for one would never conseai (o anything further. How was it then thatthe hon- orable geutleran kad consen'eld to do more?

THE PEOPLE PROTESTED.

What was it that held him in asaocia- tion with these “‘criminal cowards” whose policy he had so vigo’ously denounced, If Mr. Tarte was sincere in holdiny these views which be enueciated he should have instsatly severed

course. It was with pleasure that he, Sir Charlies, called attention to the utterances of Mr Prefontaine, M.P., who ina speesh delivered on the i2th cf Octeber, took ibe patriotic stand whieh Mr. Tarte should pave assumed. Mr. Prefontaine said that p-rliamens last session, had pledged itself to upheld the British Empire and he sow thought thatthe time had come when these pledges ethould be redeemed. (Cheers.)

PREMIER MAD TO YIELD.

Fortunately for Canada the overwhelm- ing sentiment of the country (cheers) united as it never had*been in the history ‘of Canada, soon told Leurier that he _ would have to cheose betweem abandoning his dictum that nothing could be done be- cause it wasa violation of the constitu- tion, or that some one else would be in charge 2f the constitutien st a very early day. (loud cheers). The premier now comsented to do what he declared he wou!d pot do. Having placed himself at the | mercy of Tarte and other gentlemen Jike ' him, the premier was obliged to yield to | that overwhelming pressure of public

opinion, When be read Sir” Wilfrid Laur- : ier’s speech at Quebee on the departure of the comtingent he could not but admire his eloquence. A DANGEROUS PLACE.

When the Premier waedeciaring that this war a war of justice and that Canada | was bound to help England, what was Mr. | Tarte doing. He was at St. Vincent de Pau) again.

Mr. Foster—“ That is a rather danger- | ous place.” (this reference to the near proximity of the Dominien penitentiary created -ome laughter.)

Sir Charles ‘lupper—‘ Well, I hope better things than that for him.”

CONSTITUTION VIOLATED.

Mr. Tarie was violating the first prio-~ cipies ef constitutional government. He was holding up an order in eounse! that had permitted ihis contingent to go and | declared he had forced his eolieagues to | put in a declaratiem that they should never | do it again.

He had caused the words to be inserted '** that it is not to be a precedent,” and it, was beeause he had requesied this, he complained he was denounced as disjoyal.

« ae he net be denounced as LIBELLING SIR JOME’S WORK.

his Connection with his | aseociates when they adopted a different

the policy adopted how is it possible truthfully to say that there was entire accord on the occasion, and that the event bad approved the devotion ef loyalty of te entire people to the crown and Briti+h inatitutiona? The minister of public werks in hie e#peect. at St. Vincent de Paul had attempted to strengthen his lands by libe'ling the reputation of the greates! sta'esman Canada ever knew, Sir Jobn Macdonald. lt was well-known that Sir Joun Macdo ald all bis long life had upbeld Brivish consection and that no manever lived in Canada with more imperial instincts than his, and he ultimately sacrificed bis life im a struggle againet the liberals who were alepting a policy that would have deprived this country of its place in the empire. But although that struggle cost Sir John Mac- denald bis life he did not fall until he had placed securely on the ramparts of his country “British eonnestion forever.” (applause). How dare the rainisier of public works libel that great statesman now that he was in his grave?

GOVERNMENT'S PLAIN DUTY.

Sir Charles pointed out that Mr. Tarte Was credited with having induced one of his supporters to resign and to denounce the goveromert’s conduct in most em- pbatic termes as naconsiitutional and yet it was said they were «ll united in this question (laugh ter.)

Asa cancer in the body must be cut out Om pain of death, so this cancer in the body politic must be removed or it would inevitabiy result in the death of the gov- ernmeat of Canada. Within the past tew months be had addressed meny audiences all over Camads,and he had heard no: a single dissenting voice te the proposition that Canadas should furnish al! the aid re- quired by the mother country and that the entire costof doing so should be paid by Canada herself.
