LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL ELECTION.

———-

iuiberal-Conservative Candidate for Charlottetown,

HENRY LONCWORTH, ESQ.

cc ent

Tue Dary EXAMINER, OCTOBER 16, 1875.

The New Ministry.

Sir Jonn McDonatp has. striven suc- cessfully to obtain the ‘‘best men” to take charge of the public affairs of the country. He has also striven successfully to give the largest possible representation to Canada’s varied interests. His Cabinet is nndoubt- ediy the strongest ever formed in Canada. Every Province—with the single exception of British Columbia—is represented in it; and nearly every representative is an emin- ent leading man, Sir John, himself, and Dr. Tupper are each statesmen whose sym. pathies are as wide as their knowledge and experience are great. They each know Canada from end to end, and they are cach inspired with the idea of making Canada a prosperous and powerful nationality—dis- tinct from the great Republic on her bor- der—in which, British institutions and Brit- ish loyalty shall combine to preserve un- broken the tie that binds us to the grand old Motherland. Then, there is Tilley, of New Brunswick, MeDonald, of Nova Scotia, Masson, Langevin and Pope, of Quebec, and Pope, of Prince Edward Island. We know these men to be leading: wen. Several of them have led good governments inithe Provinces, and all ave practical pollt- ticians of great experience and pre-eminent; ability. Of the contingent. furnished by Ontario, we have little personal knowledge. Messrs. Aitken, O’Connor and Bowell are, however, men of high reputation; and whether Thomas White, John Carling or Senator McPherson obtains the remaining seat, we are: assured that the country at large will have no just cause to complain.

The Maritime Provinces have good rea. son to be proud of their representatives in

he Cabinet. Tupper and McDonald, Tilley and Pope cannot fail to exercise a marked influence over the Administration. The promotion of Mr. Popedhas been as gall and wormwood to those who reported that he enly distinguished himself at Ottawa as an utter failure; but the Province, as a whole, will learn, with pride and, pleasure, that

Mr. Pope was one of the’ first whom Sir John McDonald cilled to his Coune'l. Whether as Ministér of Agriculture, Minister of Marine and Fisheries, or Min- ster of the Interior, we feel assured that Mr. Pope will do the Island no discredit, and the Dominion much good.

The new Ministry have a great work be- ore them. ‘They have to counteract, as far as possible, the result of the impolicy of McKenzie and Cartwright ; they have to foster, as much as possible, the suffering industries of the country without increasing the-burdens of the people; and they have to perform the onerous and difficult func- tions appertaining to a Government. They will, of course, make mistakes ; but, on the whole, they will, we feel assured, quit themselves well.

A Railway Matter.

Tat a radical readjustment of the Rail- way staff is required, every one admits. A partial readjustment recently made has, however, given rise to dissatisfaction. The office of Train Dispatcher—lately held by Mr. James McKechnie—has been volun- tarily vacated; and the Superintendent has, we understand, appointed a Mr. Cogs- well, who has held some office at George- town, toit. The office is one of the most important and responsible on the staff ; but, Mr. Cogswell has had no experience in con- nection with it. Mr. Cogswell has, how- ever, been promoted over the head of one longer in the Railway employ~a most efficient officer—who has had practical ex- perience in the work of Train Dispatching, and who las done the work well. Mr.

Charles McNeill has frequently had con-| troi of the trains on the road. Had it not!

been for him, it is hard to say what the |’

public would have done during the Exhibi- tion week. Bad as the management was, it would have been infinitely worse had not he, on thet occasion, takéfit'upon himself to dispatch trains to the rescue. Not with- out reason, therefore, do we hear persons asking: What peculiar fitness has’ Mr. Cogswell shown, and what~+ greater ex- perience has he had, that he should be pro- moted over Mr. McNeill’s head ?

VicroriA is reported to have said not

long ago, when she had given an order to! one of her domestics :—‘‘ I am Queen of |

Canadian Sentiment.

Rerenrinc to Mr. Goldwin Smith’s criti- cism of Lord Dufferin’s last speech at Toronto, the Journal of Commerce—edited by Sir Francis Hincks—says :—

‘« It is easy to sneer, as Mr. Goldwin Smith does, at what he terms Lord Dufferin’s ‘‘chim- era,” that but for an untimely quarrel the United States might have remained a happy dependency of Great Britain, ‘‘ under the gracious rule of Goveraor-Generals, and send- ing up clouds of incense in their honor. Che idea, doubtless, appears chimerical to us after a century of independence, but Mr. Goldwin Smith and those who coneur with him in pregnosticating revolution fail alto- gether to give due weight to the aversion of the people of every country to civil war,which invariably precedes revolution, This error 1s one into which English statesmen and the English press almost invariably fall when they discuss the subject. They declare that in the present day England will never coerce the col- onies in remaining dependencies when it suits them to change their political condition. Now such declarations are based on the assumption that the people of the colony would, with at least an approach to unanimity, demand peace- able separation. In the United States, prior to the revolation, there was always a party of loyalists, and there can be no doubt that even among the revolutionists there was a powerful party most unwilling to resort to extremities. Now, Lord Dufferin feels assured, and we think with good reason, that all questions which may in the future arise between Great Britain and the Dominion of Canada can be amicably adjusted, and if so, he is justified by history, to which Mr. Goldwin Smith appeals, in believing that it will be impossible to incite the people to revolt. We have our own expe- rience to aid us in arriving at a conclusion. It is now admitted that the grossest misgovern- ment prevailed in Canada Satens the Union in 1340, and that the mass of thepeople in Lower Canada not only felt that misgovernment, but utterly detested the remedy, viz., the Union, aud yet, how insignificant were the numbers who would incur the risk of revolt. it may be a chimera to speculate on what the political institutions of the United States would have been to-day if England had acted justly in the last century, just.as it woald. be to speculate on what the institutions and the dynasty of Creat Britain might be if a wholly different line of policy had been adopted two centuries ago. Mr. Goldwin Smith cioses his criticism as follows :—‘‘ Truth has at best a poor chance against rank; if she were gagged she would have no chance atall.” We should be sorry indeed that it were possible to gag Mr. Goldwin Smith, but in his reference to ‘* rank” he should bear in mind that the “ truth” enunciated by Lord Dufferin is in ac- cordance with the sentiments of the Canadian people, as evidenced by the fact that the opinions occasionally ventilated by Mr. Gold- win Smith have never been formulated into a motion in either the senate or Commons of Uanada. Irish Home Rule is not a_concep- tion so likely to be realized that Parliament would dream of taking into account in their present legislation the possibility of its being adopted fifty or one hundred years hence; but Irish Home Rule has its’ advocates in the House of Commons, and, in addition, a large national support, whereas inCanada Mr. Gold- win Smith cannot get a member of Parliament or a public meeting to endorse his chimera. We are ready to it that there are men of a speculative turn of mind, and possibly some in Parliament, who share Mr. Smith’s opinion; but the very fact that they keep those opinions to themselves affords proof that they feel that public opinion is against them.”

a

End of the British Empire Foretold

A curious Hast Indian ‘‘ legend,” treatin of the future of the Mogul empire, an based upon the prediction of a priest made many years ago, has been put into verse in Dresden, and is now in circulation in that city. It describes how the great Mogul monarch, Arungzebe, when following his resolution to extirpate the English from Hindostan, was stopped in his work by a holy Brahmin, who held before his face a magic mirror, in which he saw the continued growth of the British power until only a shadow remained of his own. At length the shadow itself was swept away and an- other imperial throne was setup, with a lady seated in its chair. The priest had given assurance that 200 years of expiation and servitude were necessary in order to free Hindostan from the evil powers that controlled her destinies, and for that reason all prisoners had been set free by Arung- zebe. The legend goes on to say that when the lady becomes seated on the throne, the scene dissolves in a thunder clap, and India resumes her sway. The priest’s prediction is well known, says the legend, to the na- tives of India. The first part of the pro- phecy, it continues, has been fulfilled already—a woman sits on the Mogul throne.

Gambetta.

Colonel Forney sends to the ‘‘ Press” of Philadelphia and engaging description of M. Gambetta. ‘‘ The man himself,” says the Colonel, ‘‘ is the impersonation of self- poised resolution. A large, short, square figure, with a fine head, a Hebrew nose,one defective eye, yet a bright inquiring face. Such is Leon Gambetta. On the mantle was a good bronze bust of Washington, and on the wall some boxing gloves and short reniers, asif for exercise; perhaps for pre- cation. Dressed in deep black, and neat- iy dressed, with a strong nervous hand and a shapely foot, he pointed me to the sofa, and took his place at my side, holding me gracefully by the hand to seal his spuken welcome, He was looking at my card, and then began a fire of questions, im French, which were rapidly translated by M. Sim- onin, He had heard of me; he had read some of my writings; he kuew many of my friends, especially Charles Sumner,of whom

Courtney and Hanlan;

The New York “Tims” publishes the result of a patient ingestigatiow)pinto the charges that Courtney sold he / race.’ It fully exonerates Coartiey, and says) the report/that Brister,vone of Courtney's back- ers, gave out that Uanlan would win was based on Bristex’s. instructions .tohis.bro- ther to favor Hanlan, so that those who wished to back Courtney would notrhaye to offer odds. ‘The°*‘ Times” reports | that Courtney attributes his defeat principally to the fact that during the race the Lachine Rowing Club’s barge was. moved from its position, some distance below . the finish, to one on a line with it, so that he was misled. He says he could not, on account of the rough water, exert his full strength, but certainly believes that in smooth water he could beat Hanlan, Courtney declares he will not row any more this fall, and per- haps never again.

Hanlan’s friends have expressed their willingness to back him for a race, over any distance at any time, for $10,000.

Punch’s Idea of Canada,

Punch has a cartoon which illustrates very fairly the picture Canada presents to Mr. Punch’s mind, and to that*of most Englishmen as well. She is a tall, well- favored Caucausian maiden of marriagable age and condition, with Parisian stays and Indian moceasins. Thus it is that Canada appears to the eyes of those ‘‘at home.” Partly civilized, but not completely so ; stern-looking and dignified, with plenty ot afiection and good feeling behind; beautiful to be sought after, and one likely to have a natural tendency towards annexation. It is very probable that in the artist’s mind the question arose, Will the annexation be’ to Lord Dufferin’s ‘‘ right Royal successor,” or ‘to. another spouse? !t is» quite evident, for another thing, that the artist, Tenniel, whose representations are generally admirable, was working on his imagination when drawing the portrait of His Excellency Lord Dufferin, or from a portrait taken many years ago. The pic- ture on the 7th page is a perfect copy of the original, line by line. He is represented as on thé wharf'ready fo step imto the vebecl| at his side, and as shaking hands with Miss Canada to bid her farewell, the reference being to his speech in reply to the address of the Ontario municipalities at Quebec. | The picture in this respect is true. Canada holds his hands in both her own, and bids him God-speed, and that wherever he may rule his success will be as great as in this hemisphere, and the parting as tender. He does not seem Very anxious to part, and the

‘shows that much of his suecess results from his kind feelings towards her.
