A WORD WITH THE PATRIOT.

Tne Patriot refuses to admit that the

Liberals obtained power by false pretences

This is what might be expected from a

It is amatter of history, however, that the Liberals owe their accession to power persistent misrepresentationu

breeze, and their

promises were, like pie crust, made to be broken.

They promised reciprocity with the United States, but the Patriot says they

found “the time inopportune for pressing the question” and so this promise was not kept. That they could not obtain reciprocity with the republic was well known to the Liberal leaders at the time, but they did not allow a little matter like this to bother them. Their object was to ride into power irrespective of the means employed, and they allowed nothing to stand between them and the success of their plans. The Patriot intimates that in respect to reciprocity the government may have better luck in a few years when the protectionist party may not be in the ascendant in the United States. This must be reassuring to the friends of re- ciprocity everywhere. The chances are, however, that the protectionist party in the United States will be in the ascendant for many years to come _ so. that the faint hope held out by the Patriot is not likely to be realized during the brief life of the present administration.

The improbabitity of ebtaining a reci- procity treaty with the United States was pointed out at the time this bait was being dangled before the people. It was shown that the United States had enough of tariit tinkering and that the Republicans would soon be in power, which would destroy the chance of such atreaty between the two countries. But the agitation was con- tinued, and the people were deceived. The reciprocity treaty cry, like the provincial subsidies matter, served its purpose. It was very good at the time, but it is not so good now. This is only one of the many instances of deception that mighthe referr- ed to. The they misled the people is known to every one familiar with latter-day political battles in Canada. The Patriot's seeming lack of knowledge regarding matters of this kind must not be taken seriously. It does not suit it to admit the truth.

The Patriot replies to the strictures of the Grit press regarding the corruption of the present administration by calling such newepapers cranks. This style of argu- ment may be pleasing to the Patriot, but it will not go down with the people. There is the same necessity for watching the public chest now that there was in the days of Alexander Mackenzie, according to the Dundas Banner. But the Patriot pretends not to see it.

NOTES AND COMMENTS

—The petitiors against the e ection of Mr. Davin in West Assiniboia and Mr. Bennet in East Simcoe have been dropped. Both are Conservatives.

—The New Brunswick papers freely say that the changes being made in the staff of the Intercolonial in that province are not in the interest of the railway.

—“The raid of the Liberal party into the Conservative camp in quest ot national principles beats any raid ever seen in this eountry,” says the Galt Reporter.” Where- upon the Mail and Empire remarks that the next big raid will be that of the Pro- vincial Premiers upon the Federal chest.

—The United States government is to pay the dominion the sum of $200 per trip for varrying United States mails from Dyea to Dawson City. There will be one trip each way every. month. For the

Beyond this section comes the Lala Beg Valley six miles in length anda mile and a half in breath,and in which there is a bope of artificial mound, on the north of the road. Atthe wertern end of the valley the road contracts again till there is scarcely room for two meeting camels to pass. In this section, for a distance of amile aud a half, the traveller passes along a gallery twelve feet wide, with on one hand a towering clift and on the other a sheer and yawning precipice.

The traveller then enters the section known as the Lundi Khana Pass in whichjis eituated the village of the same name. In the Lundi Khana the greatest height, 3373 feet above the sea level, and arise of 2208 feet since leaving Peshawur, is reached. In ascend- ing this pase the invaders encounter the greatest natural obstacles of the Khyber. The ascent is over such a narrow, steep aud rugved path thatguns can be drawn up only by men, and by them only after the roadway has been carefully prepared. The descent from the summit near the village of Lundi Ghana, to tbeend of the defile at Dakka, nine miles distant is over a practicable road, aod is not difficult although the descent is sharp.

The Kurram Valley, on which another hostile tribe of hillmen is reported to be descending, lies to the south of the Khyber Pass, and is regarded as the better route of the two between the Punjab add Cabool both on account ofthe easiness of the roads and the abundance of water, fuel, grezing and supplies procurable in it. The inhabitants of the valley are ali Shiah Mohammedans, and are usually more friendly towards the Anglo-Indians than they are to the Caboolese, who are Sunni >iohammedans, aad are regarded by the Kurramese as oppressors. The Kurram Valley, by reason of its location, turns the Khyber Passand stretches almost toCabool. It commands access to the Peiwar and Shutur-Gurdan passes, which bar the wav to Caboo! and Ghuznee, in the very centre of the Ameer’s territory.
