IN THE TOWN OF WINNIPEH,

to which the Mar wis had allads d, and the population of which Increased from 5,000 in 1878, when his lordship went to Canada, ‘o JU,000 in the present year, when he re- linguished the seals of his distinguished position, the balance due to de pesitors in the Government Savings Banks was 864.414. whereas, in 1883 it was $1,018,000 figures showed the increase of 8053586 (applause. ) The value of the fisheries of Canada in 1878 was $13.378,486; by 1883 their value had risen from this sum to $16,824,072. The number of letters that passed through the Post Office department in Canada in 1878 was 50,500,- | UO; the number of letters and post cards | that passed through the department in 1893 was 67 500,000, this number exceeding | by 17,000,000 the number carried in the year when the Marquis of Lorne became the of Canada. The | linmigration to Canada—that most vita! question to which the Marquis had directed | their attention—affurded one of the most | striking instances possible of the wonder fal progress that Canada is making. In| 1878 the number of immigrants—exclusive of those who went to Canada with the in- tention of proceeding west—who arrived at Canada was 29,807, which number had risen in 1878 to 112.458 in a single year- (applause) The very great increase of $2,651 shown by these figures (ap- plause)—and he might mention that dewn | te the Sist of October in the present year here was an increase of 17,000 in the same

period over the figures that he had quoied | He did not intend to dwell npon these ev idences, striking as they were, of the wonderful progress Canada had made ! and was still making; but as the Marquis | had referred to the sul ject, he might make | a few observations regarding that great national work

THE CANADIAN PACIFIC

RAILWAY. No one who had cast his or her +}

the map that b ing behind him aud observed the extent of the Dominion could fail to perceive that it was of vital Importance to the prosperity and progreas of the Dominion that there should be an inter-oceanic line oi railway. The great question of the con- struction of such a railway had been grap- pled with. He might say it was doring | the Marquis of Lorne’s administration, he might say that it was partly owing to His Lords lip 8 lOspiration, thatthe Government of Canada was enabled in 1881 to make! a con'ract to secnre ~he construc: | tion of that line of railway for 2,600 miles. (Applause) When his lord-| ship went to Canada in 1878 there was not a mile of that line in operation, whereas when he resigned the seals of his high office,

he had the satisfaction of knowing that 1,750 miles had been completed, and that arrangements had been made for the com-

pletion by the end of 1885, and the opening in the spring of 1886, of that great imter- oceanic line of railway. (Apy lause. ) The

line would remain as a mark upon the face of the country to incteate the red-letter period m the history of the country when it had the gond fi rtune to be presided over by the Marquis of L mie; and when the history of Canada came to be written the brightest pege in it would be the page

which described the five years’ administra- tion of the Marquis.

The Boundary Dispute.

The Governments of Ontario and Mani-

s have agreed t» refer the boundary dis i to the Privy Council of Great Britain Gntario claims that the westerly boundary

f that Prownee is either the mendian of

north-westerly angle of the Lake of the Woods or aline west of that point. Mani toba claims that the boundary between that Peovince and the Province of Ontario, is the meridian of the confluence of the hio and Mississippi Rivers. The Privy

is asked to decide (1) whether the

award of the arbitratora is binding? if not 2), what is the true boundary / (3) whether il-gislation is needed to make the decision

binding? and if so (4) whether Acts slifould be pass: d by the Legisiatures of Ontari Manitoba and the Dominion, or an Act by he Imperial Parlament! aa er = Items from Souris.

G, W. Hodgson upon “The Evils of Intemperance, and Their Remedy: True Temperance Work.” At 8 o’clock the Rev D. F. McDonald, P. P., President of the Sonris Branch, took the chair. Upon the platform and in the body of the hall, we had the Very Rev. De. McDonald, Y. G., Georgetown, Rev. Mr. Kinlay, West River; Rev. Father Gillis, East Foint; Rev. J. J. Colter and Rev. J. G.

The meeting was a highly succese- ful one, an honor to Souris and the cause of temperance. The rev, gentleman, who had

come from Charlottetown, and was the principal speaker at the meetiag, occupied jen hour with an address, which all who

heard it can hardly fail to remember. ~ As Father Dan expressed it ‘‘with an eloquence peculiarly his own,” he brought before our minds the terrible evils of intemperance.

», | Reason, intelligenes, common sense, and

religion were all brought forward on the side of true temperance, Point after peint was eloquently -enfcrved, ard argument efter argument was brought into play with telling power. Liquor dealers were ap- pealed to to come forward on the platform ike men and advocate their own sida of the question, if theye were fuily satisfied that their traffic led to the happiness and prosperity of the people. Tem-

'

| perance men were urged to con- ) |

tinue on nobly amd faithfully in the cause they had espoused. Men should take either one side or other, and not

adept the mean and cowardly course of remaining neutral where interests of the highest importance are at stake. The arguments of those who advocated the eranting of licenses were examined and refuted in a most convincing manner. | Every true of our manhoud was

interest

} perance, the

point, our pockets, and ascending upward and onward tothe Great Day when the immortal souls of all men should appear before the bar of God te answer for the deeds done in_ the body. Terrible as il was to think of a man who had robbed himself of position, health, character,

reason, and had brutalized himself by the we of intoxicating drinks, he would rather ve such aone, standing before the judg- ment seat of God, than appear there as the of all this misery and crime, the liquor dealer, who carried on his horrible and damnable trefiic, making money by ruining his fellow-man. All this, and much more, was ably urged upon the con- sideration of his audience by the rev, speaker, who before he concluded his address, requested a promise from all present that they would at least abstain from the use of intoxicating drinks during Christmas and New Year.

The President asked

signify their intention

cahse

the andience to to abstain during

Christmas and New Year, and a large j}number rose upand held up their right

| hands in promise to so abstain.

Very Rev. Dr. MeDonaid, of George

| town, was the next speaker, and in a short | humorous and earnest, he’

' speech, both | spoke to the customs of bye-gone days, some thirty or forty years ago, when drink- ing was more fashionable than now, com- paring that time with this, to show the change which had taken place in the drinking customs of the people, He closed his remarks with an appeal on behalf of individual temperance, pointing out the ad- varitages of genuine total abetinence from | all intoxicating liquors, :

Rey. J. J. Colter felt inspired and strengthened by the eloquent address delivered by the Rev. Mr. Hodgson, to go on fighting with perseverance and determin- ation in the causé of temperance. By every possible means, both by moral suasion and the strong arm of the law, men must be guarded against the evils of inm- temperance, and the Jiquor traffic sup- pressed.

Rev. Mr. Kinlay, ina neat speech pro- posed a vote of thanks to the Rev. George W. Hodgson, which was seconded by the Rev. Father Gillis: On being put to the meeting by the chairman, the Rev D. F. McDonald, it was carried unanimously and heartily applauded. The Rev. Mr. Hodgson replied -warmly, expressing the great pleasure it gave him to be present on behalf of the temperance cause, and thank- ing the meeting for the good order and at- tention displayed by such a representative and large audience,

Mr. Gabriel McDonald made a’ very creditable speech, in many respects, He said he knew very well the evils of intem- perance, pointed out what he considered to be the shortcomings of temperance workers in the way of enforcing the Scott Act,

asking why it was some parties were hunted dewn and prosecuted time after time, and others who were doing more

harm than ‘‘the quiet, inoffensive man’ he referred to, were hardly troubled! He advised them to go for the other places where most liquor was kept, and to have men of prinerple and earnestness in their ranks, who were not going to make fish of ene and flesh of another. Mr. McDonald’s speech wag well received; and several temperance men have since expressed their pleasure at much he said, and consider that with Mr. McDonald in their ranks as a temperance worker, they would have “the right man in the right place.” They hope } to hear him again, and would gladly wel- come him into the ranks, should he decide to become a rea) temperance worker.
