parties and forwarded them to these dis- tricts to ascertain the capabilities of those districts with more exactness. Professor Macoun—vone of the ablest men in this service, was placed in charge ; and through his labers and those cf others who did good work in this direction, we were enabled to present to Parliament the very satisfactory statement that from the north-west bound. ary of Manitoba to the foot of the Rocky Mountains, we could safely reckon on 150, 600.000 acres of fair land for agricultural purposes. (Loud applanse.) We are now able to add 150 miles more to the extent of our good land—showing previous esti- mates to be all behind the mark. We are satisfied that as day by day we acquire more complete information regarding the greal North-West, we will have increased evidence that hitherto we have never fully estimated the wonderful resources of this land. (Loud applause.) As regards the basis of our Bpe- rations in connexion with the railway, we have therefore the most perfect confidence Speaking to a Winnipeg audience such as this, it would be superfinous for me to dweil on the boundless fertility—the immense natural resources of this portion of the Dominion. Your presence here this eve- ning—the marvellous progress of your city —are all evidences that you have abundant and implicit confidence in a prosperous future. And there are other evidences ap- parent to ail. (Cheers. ) [ never could have dreamt of

A BPECTACLE 80

PROMISE

FULL OF in the comparative early age of this city it would never have occurred to me that, instead of counting the houses in your am- bitious city, as I was able to do on my first visit—I should now be in danger of losing my way in the intricacies of this rapidly growing city. (Cheers. ) Nor could it have occurred to me that, after so brief a lapse of time, it would be in the power of the Press of the country to give such a detail as the Winnipeg Times has recently given to the prosperity of Your beautiful city. (Loud cheers. ) Who could have imagined a progress such as is shown in the statement in“ hat journal that there are now $1,000,- 000 worth of investments being made in the construction of the buildings which are now presented to the admiring yaze of the world? (Applause. ) I am glad, Mr. Chairman, that these details were entered into, and given with so much minuteness, for they are calculated to be of incalculable benefit to the country. (Cheers ) This is rig\itly termed the Queen City of the North-West. (Cheers.) Toronto has long enjoyed the proud supremacy of being the Queen City of the West; but Toronte will have to look to her laurels and take care that the Queen City of the North-West does not outstrip her. (Loud cheers.) And looking at the spirit of enterprise so markedly a feature of the city and coun try —looking at the refinement so apparent even at the outset—Il anticipate and have no liesitation in saying, that at no distant day the eyes of Canada will be turned to the North-West as the foundation of Canadian greatness in the future. (Lond applause.) This I may regard as a little family party, and | may tell you in entire confidence what you will be glad to hear aftirmed—that the syndicate for the con- struction of the Canadian Pacitic Railway not only embraces distinguished | British, Continential, French and German capital. ists, but also wealthy American capitalists, and some of the most enterprising Canadian capitalists in the Dominion (hear, hear, and cheers)—men who are prepared to em- bark in the undertaking all the requisite resources and capital, as well as that ex- perience in the settlement and develop- ment of prairie countries which, as we know, is an indispensable element of success in an undertaking of this magni- tude. When I was gomg to speak at Brome, and was desirous to assure inyself as fully as possible on this point, I spoke to the gentleman who will be most respon- sible for the mauagement of this work, tell. ing him that I was desirous to say noti- ing in relation to it, but what was fully Within the mark. I said, tell me how soon I may say with cenfidence that the Cana- dian Pacific Railway will be carried through Wiunipeg to the foot ef the Rocky Moun- tains. l received authority to say then— as [ say now—that within three years the contemplated arrangements will carry the Canadian Pacitic Railway FROM THE CITY OF WINNIPEG TO THE FOOT OF THE ROCKY MOUNTAINS. (Tremendous applause. ) I can further tell you, gentlemen, in the same spirit of confi- dence, that the Government of Canada have bound themselves in this contract with the Syndicate to have rails laid on the con- tinous line of road between Winnipeg and Thunder Bay bya year fromthe first of July next. (Cheers.) From and after that date the people of Canada will have the full satisfaction of knowing that during open navigation, at all events, we will have a through route, giving cheap, ready access te this country, and enabling us to bring the great volume of emigration through our own territory—witheut exposing them to the fascinations to be found on a foreign soil. (Laughter and cheers.) You will, I ani sure, learn with pleasure of the deter- mination of the Syndicate not merely to carry the road tothe Rocky Mountains within the three years mentioned, but that during the eoming summer steady progress is to be wade with the construction of the line from Nipissing to Thunder Bay, so as to afford a through route in winter as wel asinsummer. (Hear and cheers.) You can readily conceive the satisfaction it gives me, Mr. Chairman, to stand here to-night and make these statements, vindicating, as they do, that policy to which we committed ourselves in 1871 and 1872—showing that the views we then hei were ripe to fruition

—-that the policy we then announced has been crowned with the most! undoubted success, and that Canada

le once again ina position of prosperity such as she has not knowy for years past. (Applause.) There is now abroad a feeling of the greatest confidence—a feeling tho- roughly well founded that within three years our common country will have

achieved such a_ position eminence as the most patriotic Canadian ever ventured io anticipate. (Cheers. ) The advance in material prosperity is 4 source of just gratification to us ; and in making this statement I am far from desiring to limit it to the Conservative party. Dut, inasmuch as the foundation of our fortunes dates frem the union of our great political parties, | believe that that feeling will grow wntil it is found that thousands—nay, tens of thousands of our most advanced, independent, and influential people—who were yesterday our opponents will come to the front, insisting that great national questions shall be dealt with in NO NARROW, PARTIZAN SPURIT.

Seeing the prosperity attendant on the measures of a progressive leader like Sit John Maedonal. the Govern- ment is laboring anxiously and successfully for the welfare of the Dominion—the end will be that many who have hitherto hung back or showed themselves avowed eppon ents-will sink party considerations and unite in the promotion of the great meas- ures so largely occupying the attention of the Government. ‘To say this is to state that our people will show themselves to be Canadians. It would be underrating their patriotism aud intelligence, | submit, to suppose that they are going to hinder »- stead of helping forward the public well- being—to suppose that they will attempt to obstruct the wheels of the car of pro- gress moviug forward steadily, rapidly in the advancement of the interests of our common country. During the interval of our absence from power

seeing that

THERE WAS COMPLETE STAGNATION, nething to indicate that progress which had hitherto been the pride of Canadians, (fear, hear.) Of course in the absence of the leaders of the party opposed to us, it would be out of piace to dwell long on this theme. Butl can not resist saying that at thé period I refer to I looked in vain across the face of the country for anything to show that a spirit of pro- gress and prosperity was abroad. Under the circumstances yeu can easily conceive the task that devolved on us of changing this out- ward state ef things by lifting the country out of that state of despondency into which it had fallen. The Government of the day proved themselves unequal tothe emergency. (Hear, hear.) To be successful a government must show that it has confidence in the future of the eountry. sut our predecessors beld and avowed the fatal opinion that the Government were powerless to meet such a crisis 48 arose ; and they certainly did not meet it. (Cheers.)

Well, Mr. Chairman, I have been to Rat Portage—a peint which I was glad to be able to reach by rail. A horseback excursion (a nevelty to me of late) brought me ten miles further, to Ross Land. My visit, | must say, was one of great satisfaction. I have been enabled personally te inspect the werks on this portion of the line, which are on a scale of great magnitude, and from the manner in which the works have been prshed I have e¥ery assurance that we will be enabled to keep faith with the Syndicate in the obligations which we have laid ourselves under to them, that by ayear from the first of July there should be continuous railway communication between Winnipeg and Thunder Bay. (Cheers. )

The Terrible Colliery Disaster.

‘‘The lost miners leave forty widows and 110 children destitute, and the loss of the pit throws out ef employment at least two hun- dred bread earners.”

Tue above is clipped from the appeal of the Managers of tive Nova Scotian Coal mines. Itis addressed ‘‘ To the people of Manada andthe United States.” At first sight, perhaps, qne might be led into the following train of thought ; why does not the Company in whose service the lives of forty-four men have been lost, make ade- quate recompense, so far as nioney is con- cerned, to the unfortunate widows and orphans? But, when it is known that the loss already to the Company, is said to amount to over $100,000, and may yet rollup to millions, the necessity of outside aid at once presents itself. Itis a case which appeals to the tender as well as the generous feelings of all classes in this com- wunity. It brings before the mind’s eye the heartrending scenes which occurred around the mouth of the doomed Foord Pit when the sad disaster became known to the wives, children and friends of the poor men who met death insuch an awful man- ner. Wholesale fatalities seldom happen, thank God, within so short a distance of our Island home. This Province has been singularly fortunate in having so far escaped any accident attendant with serious loss of life or property. For this we have indeed cause to be thankfnl, and shonld, in conse- quence, be all the more willing, when opportunity offers, to relieve the sufferings of our less fortunate fellow beings.

A chance of showing gratitude for past mercies, and of displaying sympathy with widows and orphans in a substantial way, is now opened to the citizens of Charlotte- town by the late terrible colliery disaster. ‘Let us then be up and doing.”

The question now arises: what plan better be adopted in order to procure a fund for the purpose already mentioned? Could not an entertainment of some kind or other be held in the Academy of Music. The Charlottetown Quintette Club would, doubtless, give their valuable as- sistance to anything which has such a charitable object in view. Let a’committee be at once formed, composed of persons who have had experience in such matters, and there is no doubt that something will be imaugurated to which the citizens will generously respond.

Since writing the above, Mayor Dawson has called a® meeting to consider the best means of raisinga fund to aid the sufferers.
