Guten Back on His Leader.

Now that the great Riel debate is over | we may expect to hear again from the | Grit member for Queen's. That annual speech of his, wherein he so grandilo- quently describes the alleged poverty and discontent ot his fellow-colonists, will doubtless be repeated once more on the floor of the House, with only slight variations from that delivered by him in the session of 1883, when he referred to ‘* that unfortunate Province from which he came, where the exodus was so great that whole settlements had been depopu- lated.” Of course, by this time, every-

of drawing largely on his imagination for his ** facts.” The knowing ones of his party understaud him thoroughly. They know weil that much of his talk is merely intended for strictly partizan purposes. Who among them, we would like to know, believes him to be in ear- nest when he declaims against the N. P., declaring it to be the ruination of this Island? Even the Secretary of the Reform Association of Queen’s County seems to be going back on his leader. Mr. Warburton, as our readers already know, has recently been writing letters to a leading newspaper on the other side ofthe Atlantic for the purpose of letting the world know that this Islaud is a first- class place for old country farmers and mechanics to come to. We commend Mr. Warburton in his present efforts. The dark picture of our Isiand which Mr. Davies is in the habit of drawing, is ouly calculated to drive away intending settlers from our shores. Mr. Warbur- ton in effect tells them to pay no atten- tion to the wild lamentations of his leader onthe stump or at Ottawa, as they are spoken more for party purposes than the country’s good.

The question suggests itself: Will Mr. Davies, after reading the Reform Secre- tary’s sensible letter, retrain from further unpatriotic attempts at belittling his native Province! He has been of late so long sileut on account of the Riel Debate that when he next orates he will

Notice to Shipowners & Builders. surely say something. What shape that

something will take is not known at present. We venture the prediction, however, that much of what he said on former oecasious will be said again the present session, notwithstanding the facts brought out by the Reform Secretary of Queens.

Mr. Biggar, M. P., Interviewed. Mr. Joseph G. Biggar, M. P. for Cavan. Ire., was interviewed by the

Toronto Mail's representative a few days ago, and in answer to questions concern- ing the situation io Ireland and the pros- pects of Mr. Gladstone’s Irish measures, spoke as follows:—‘* The greatest ob- stacle in the way of the practical work- ing of Mr. Gladstone’s land purchase scheme is the difficulty of obtaining esti- mates which would present a fair valua- tion of the estates. Inorder to get any- where near the actual value of the land it would be imperatively necessary to deal with each case separately and on its merits. A large majority of the tenants in Ireland are anxious to become owners, and would pay their instalments honor- ably unless they were unduly pressed. When the Irish Church was disestablish- ed a great many tenants bought holdings

at prices far above the present valuations. They repaid their loans with remarkable promptitude, and

are now prosperous. Still I would not advise the advancing of a penny toward the purchase of land without adequate security. Mr. Gladstone is, I believe, earnestly desirous of satisfying Ireland, and in furtherance of that desire he will have the support of all true Irishmen. Mr. Chamberlain derives his power from the caucus ; but a caucus meeting is not Parliament. You may depend npon it that his caucus supporters will not fol- low him in warfare against Mr. Glad- stone, and he will quickly discover this when the time for action comes. As the Queen will have certain veto powers over the Irish Parliament,—you observe I speak of the Irish Parliament as a fixed fact,—she must have a representa- tive at Dublin. This the Parnellites will not oppose, nor will they place ob- structions inthe way of any measure that will be in any manner useful to Ireland. The Tories will, of course, fight the whole Irish scheme tooth and pail, as they would fight anything else calculated to benetit Ireland, but their opposition has long since been dis- counted. la tpepillte ntsc

Sizn.—Having spent some time,this win- ter on the Island of Cape Breton, and |wishing to come te P.-E. Island in the early part. of March, I watched the move- ‘ments of the Northern Light with more 'than ordinary interest, and when so much unfavorable criticism was passed upon her for laying up in Souris, I felt disposed to sympathize with it and put in my word of fault-finding; but pow, knowing more about the boat, her crew and the difficul- ties of winter navigation in the Northum- berland Straits, I feel like confessing that my opinion of this matter was founded on ignorance of the facts, as doubtless was much, if not all, ofthe unfavorable criti- cism passed upon her.

A few days ago, at 7.40 a. m., we left Pictou Landing, steaming down the har- |bor, although the ice on gither side of her ‘track was strong enough to bear a loaded team. The drift ice, which had completely blocked the entrance of the harbor since the last easterly storm, had loosened some- what by the south wind of the previous afternoon, but yet only a little spot of water here and there could baeseen. The power with which she worked her way threugh that ice was simply marvellous. She would strike large pans of solid ice from thirty to thirty-six inches thick, split- ting them from aside to side. Some- times those solid pans or fields would he surrounded by heavy and closely packed drift ice, making it impossible to spread the split pan sufficiently far apart to let her pass through, In this case she was obliged to back off and come up again with ber marvellous momentum, each time smashing her way through the solid thirty-inch ice— one large field taking seven such efforts to get through.

Thus she steamed on, meandering her way through wherever the drift ico was lightets or the field ice weakest until we reached Caps Bear, from which to the entrance of Georgetown harbor, there was nothing in the way. Nine days having passed since she left Georgetown, her. track had frozen to the thickness of about four inches. Through this ice she steamed her way steadily at the rate of three miles per hour. The Northern Light is manned by a crew of true and effizient mon, from the chief officer downwards. There can be but one expression about her Captain by those who have ever crossed } with him and had the pleasure of his acquaintance, and, that is that he is a most affable, trustworthy and efficient oflicer—just theright man in. the right place.

In conclusion, I want to express this opinion, viz., the day that the Northern Light cannot work her way across the Nor- thu:mberland Straits, coongeamt®l iuspoadibhe. The day that Capt. Allen Finlayson will

not attemptte *and matts are much more e heard from subsequently if, ‘ashore,

Who Voted for Riel ?

Sir,—I see by the despatches from Ottawa that the vote on the Riel question has been taken, and instead of it defeating the Government, as the Grits said it would, has resulted in a majority for Sir John of 94! Only a very small remnant of his party voted with the leader of the Opposi- tion, Mr. Edward Blake. Among that remnant, only one Island representative is found. Mr. Yeo, it seems, did not vote on either side—an old trick of his is this shirking of the vote. Dr. MeIntyre, how- ever, voted with the ‘‘Bolters.” It is not so very long since he voted in favor of Riel taking a seat in Parliament, and no wonder that he now feels grieved that he was captured and hung. If he had been as anxious to deal humanely with poor O’Donohue who committed no crime, as he is to applaud and support the admirers of Liel, he now claims some consideration in view of the vote which he has just given. But every one knows that while he voted on a former occasion in favor of granting an amnesty to Riel and Lepine, he voted against granting tbe same to poor O’Dono- hue, who was a brave and true- hearted man. Through Grit injustice, O’Donohue died in exile a broken hearted and financially ruined man, while Riel was given another opportunity to excite the la- dians to plunder and shoot down like dogs, the peaceable white sectlers of the North- west. Even gentle, devoted and self- sacrificing Catholic Miasionaries were brutally murdered by the rebels under Louis Riel. If the Grits had shown more clemency towards O’Donohue and_ less sympathy now for Riel, it would be more to their credit, and especially to Dr. Me- Intyre, who has given another vote in favor of the rebel chief.

Yours, &c.,

B. Cardigan, March 29, 1886.

United Ireland satis an editorial speculation based on 4 supposition of the failure of Mr. Gladstone to carry his Irish measure through Parliament. It says that if such a failure should possibly occur it would not only be a parliamentary scanda) but would be followed by a most horrible ‘‘suppressed civil war.” The Liberal party, the paper continues, would be split. One portion would stand watching in help- less shame the terrorization of Ireland ; the other portion would be dragged at the chariot wheels of a Brummagem Cromwell.
