PLOT?

ee esse [S THERE A We havo several! times lately imagined to ourselves that, perhaps, Messrs. Davies and Stewart had some occult motive for their extr: ordinary action last session. No leane men we reflected—could possibly (be unwittingly guilly of such a large num- ’ iless variety of blunders as the | Legisiaaon of last session presents. There must, we thought, be some deeper reason for this legisiative tangle thin mere stupidity and carelessness. We called to remembrance the ‘‘ Dashaway Policy,’’ to which the patriotic Mr. Sinclair was a party—the policy which—our readers will recollect—cu!lminated in Laird’s midnight jouraey to Ottawa; and we fancied that, perhaps, Mr. Davies was applying, in a somewhat different fashion, the policy of ihis quondam chief, in crder to produce a ‘state of things which would neceswitate | +4 Maritime Union,’ whether the people of ‘this Island liked it or not. We were i strengthened in this opinion by the fact | Maritime Union is the settled policy of the Grit Patty. | The Toronto Gloee ofters “ Maritime | Union’ as the paaacea for allfthe numerous ‘ills brought upon the Maritime Provinces by the Globe’s humble servants—the Do- Government; and the J’atriol before. wis rabidly oppos.d_ to Mauitime Union, is now as mute upon the question as our representatives at Ottawa are when seated in the House of Com. mons. Besides, McKenzie was — if we mistak> not—on the Islanu on some secret imission in the year 1875; and it is quite ‘possible that be and the Local Premier

minion,

which,

by both Governments to force ona Maritime Union, and please the Globe. Vir. Davies bas been in Halifax nearly all summer, an’, it is impossible to say what he did there. Tue Halifax Chronicle, of,a-jate date, contains the followins~yiragraph gi

* Manrrime UNGy—It is probable that anothss-wcmuer of the Government will be“appointed with Mr. Hill and Mr. Holmes to form the delegation to New Jrunswick on the subject of Maritime Union. The conference which will be merely ef a preliminary character, is held under the authority of a resolution unani mously passed at the last session of the Legislature.”

We may be mistaken in our surmises: but the course adopted by Mr. Davies would, if continued, undoubtedly result in a union with our sister Provinces by the sea; for we would be so politically tangled and barrassed that we would, in a few years, be glad to take advantage of any offer to rid us of our Provincial difficulties.
