Be- sides being an unmistakeable endorsation of the policy of the Local Administra tion, the contest had a direct bearing on Dominion politics. The Grit candidate and his friends did all they could to make the Franchise Bill, the North-west Rebellion, and the National Policy the real issues at the polls. In his card, Mr. McEachenu declared himself a candidate in the interest of the Liberal-Conservative party, and therefore did not shirk the issue On any of the questions referred to. The result may therefore be regarded as undoubted evideuce of a complete re action iu King’s Coun'y against the ‘“ organized hypocrisy.” So as to satisfy everybody that this is a fair conclusion, we make the following extracts from speecties delivered by the Grit candidate, as reported in the Patriot. At Elmira he said “Sir Juhn Macdonald and Senator Me- Phereou would rather be flaunting at the courts of Europe, seeking after knight- hoods and red breeches, than trying to do justice to the half-breeds of the North-west. tle said the Opposition press were severely censured fer warning the Government of the approaching rebellion. If E. Blake were at the helm of the ship of state, such a state of things would not existto-day. He (Blake) would listen to the ery of the hungry. He clearly showed the injurious effect of the N. P. to the Maritime Provinces, and contended that we were compelled to buy our goods in the dearest market, and sell our produce in the cheapest market, and that we should be allowed to buy and sell in whatever market we choose. He said the public debt cf the Domivion was $240, - 000,000, yearly interest $12,000,000; our share of that was $80,000,” Thee again at Marie, the Grit stand- ard bearer is reported by the Pairiot as fellows : **Besides an able expose of the policy,and management of the local government, Mr Bowers, in unmistakable language attacked the policy of the Dominion Government, and elicted a hearty outburst of applause, as he reviowed the Northwest bungling of Sir John and his party, which had led to the present rebellion and bloodshed.” Besides this P. R. Bowers’ nomination paper was not only sigued by the Grit member of the House of Commons for King’s County, but at the foot of the list in the Patriot it was stated that the nomination was “supported by Dr. Melotyre. M. P.; J. R. McLean, Esq, M. P. P., etc., ete, ete.” This was true enough. Dr. Melntyre and L. H. Davies, M. P., made most pathetic appeals by private letters to the electors to support the Grit cause. Taking ad- vantage of his franking privilege, Dr. Meluatyre* flooded the district’—we use the words ofa reliable correspondent in King’s Cousty—with circulars marked “private '—ot which the following is a copy ,— “Orrawa, 29th April, 1885. ** Dear Sin,—Allow me to remind you that it becomes every Liberal in the Dis- trict to support the Party Candidate, Mr. Bowers, at the bye Election. The season of the year is, of course, a busy one, but the short time required to cast your vote is time well epent in view of the valuable effect a victory now will have on the result of our next Deminion Election. ** Please spare the time and vote for our man. Iam sorry I cannot be with you to do the same. ** Yours respectfully, P. A. McIntyre.” This shows that by “underhand” means as well as by open canvassing, the influence of the Grit Party was brought to bear on the electors ; and that a party triumph was sought by the raising of a Dominion issue. But ail of no avail. In this part of King’s County Mclatyre and Robertson polled over 500 of # majority in 1882, but this now is reversed. McEKachen’s majority of 155 ou @ high property qualification repre- sents a majority of at least 300 on the popular vote for a member of the House of Commons. This is the first expres- sion of the opinion of the people at the polls on the conduct of the Grit party ia gloating over and encouraging the Riel rebelliov, and in their shameful policy of obstruction in Parliament. _ _—em «+ Riel's Crime Against the Country. The law declares that :— “For levying war against Her Majesty, either with intent to dispose Her Majesty from the style, honor and royal name of the Imperial Crown of the United King- doms of Great Britain and Ireland, or of any other of Her Majesty’s Dominions or countries, or in order by force or constraint to compel Her Majesty to change her measures or councils, or in order to intimj- ‘late or overawe both or either Houses of Parliament of the United Kingdom, or of Canada, or conspiring to levy war against Her Majesty with any such intent, or for avy such purpose as aforesaid Every one who commits treason is guilty of a crime and liable to suffer death.” = ha " ee ee than | weekly papers of | | with Spai eo | — The Montreal Gazette says:— There probably never was a time in the history of the Empire when there |was a deeper or more earnest feeling of loyally in every par’, or when more | practical proofs were given that this | feeling really means iu times of danger a | Uuited Empire, physically as well as politically.

Do they not demonstrate the existence of the spirit of Imperial Federation in its grandest form? i So Lip «+S in the tin of so —In the British House of Commons ou the 18th inst., Lord Edmund Fitz- maurice announced that negociations a for a commercial treaty had | terminated unsatistactorily. The Govern- ‘ment, he said, could only consider the recent action of Spain as the refusal to tulfil the fuuodamental conclusions of the declaration of the 2lst December, 1884, aod the British minister to Madrid had been instructed to inform Spain that under the circamstances negociatious were at an end. ——@-<D © -o—— — ** Canadian Carriages” are adver- tised in the London papers. ‘Thomas Lioyd offers to the people of London ‘some fine specimens cf these superior light Carriages, constructed of the best native woods, and from the leading makers.” These carriages were made in New Brunswick, and were introduced to the English market through the ia- strumentality of Mr. Ira Cornwall. We clip the following from the Carleton Sentinel, a Liberal paper : “Why not enfranchise the Indian? In Matne, the other day, one of the Indians there gave his son the name of Patrick, aud an ex-governor of the Penobscot tribe, at Old Town, held a reception at which there was au orchestra of white men, So it is proven that the Judian is advancing with, or be overrun by, the civilization of the white faces.” —_— > oe am + —__—_- - -- —Cauadians will note with gratitica- tion that the Marquis of Lorne is to be the wvext presideat of the Royal Geographical Society.

Sir Leonard’s Mission. The object of the Pinance Minister's visit to England is taus rferred to by the Mon. treal Gazette : ** The cbhject of his mission is primarily the placing of a loan upon the English market to extinguish the floating liabilities of the Government, to provide for obliga- tions maturing this year in connection with the construction of public works, and to arrange for the retirement of the 5 p. c. loan of 1860, notice of the payment of which on July ist has already been given by the Finance Ministr. The floating debt is un- dersivod to amount to some $18,000,CQ9, it having been $15,000,000 on April 1, since when a temporary loan of a million sterling has been made in London. The amount required for capitel expenditure made and to be made this year, with the cost of the expedition to the Northwest, may reach $8,000,000, wore than one-half being re- quired to mect the balance of the loan and subsidy payments to the Canadian [acific Railway, the whole of which will probably be earned by September if the present auticipations of the company as to the date of the completion of the work are realized. Of the loan of 1860, more than five millions hes been extinguished by purchases for the sinking fund, and there remains out- standing abeut $25,000,000. It is conti- dently believed, however, that fuliy $20,- 000,000 of this amount will be retired by an exchange into a short date 4 per cent. bond at } ar, so that not more than five millions will remain to be redeemed. It would seem probable, therefore, that a pew lean of something like $30,000 000 will require to be made, of which not more than $8,000,000 will involve a new obligation or an increase of the debt over the present figure. ‘The rate at which the money caa be borrowed will, of course, depend upon the condition of the money market next month. The peaceful aspect of the Anglo-Russian question, if maintained, ought to enable Canada to place a loan on more advantage- ous terms than would otherwise be the case, and the steady development of the resources of the Dominion, the growing interest and faith i its future, may be relied upon to maintain the eredit of the ¢oun.- try in the high position it has Jatterly ocenpied By the retirement of the loan of 1866, yet outstanding, a saving in the avnuel interest charge of at least $250,000 will be effected, a uam which capitalized will permit of an increase of six millions and a quarter of debt without imposing any additional burden on the country. Sir Richard Cartwright was not able to effect a loan during his term of office at a rate better than 94 for a4 per cent. bond; last summer Sir Leonard Tilley placed the 3} per cent. bonds at a fraction over Yl. or at an equivalent of 104 for a 4 per cent. bond, Iu the past year there has beea a slight depreciation in the market price of the last issue in common with all colonial securities, but there is no reason to doubt that the Finanee Minister will be able tu obtain all the money required to ex- change the maturing bonds and fund the floating liabilities at a favorable rate.” oe DATIY HXA MT Principal Grant on our North-west Rebellion. In Montreal, on Sunday last, Rov. Prin- | cipal Grant caused quite a sensation by his | sermon in St. Paul’s Church on the North. | west affair. Instead of blaming individuals for the origin of the insurrection, he asked if the whole body of the people were not to blame, and to blame in different ways. Even if agents had been to b'ame, the party system is to be blamed for this, for in Canada the claims of party were absolute, and the prophets of the system say that no other system is possible. Even under despotic governmeats the whole of the people are held responsible for the sins of their rulers; much more cer- tainly will God hold us responsible for our government ; it is popularly considered the rulers represent us directly, and party the only form of government that is possible. The people will have it eo, when party is not a means but ao end, a; it is in Canada. Then the agents that any Government selects must be not the best men in the country, not even the best men in the party, but the men who have been most serviceable to the partv. They have done the party's work, and the more questionable the work the more absolute their claims. When the wages c»nnot be paid out of private collections, levies on contractors or secret service funds, they must be paid by appointments to the civil, military, educa- tion, Indian and other services. ‘Is not bribery the keystone of the system?’ re- cently asked a Judge in Ontario from his seat on the bench. A competent authority answered in the aflirmative, and the great organs of the system ut'ered no protest. Continuing in this strain the rev. gentle- man acked: ‘‘So faras the Northwest is particularly cencerned, Jet me ask in what light bas it generally been regarded siuce it came into our posse sion!’ Simply a vast region out of which we shou'd try to make money. Was that God’s purpose in giving it to us! The old sons and lords of the soi! the Indians, were our first charge. Have we done the tithe of our duty to them? How many have thought of the chance cf getting quarter sections and of how to enrich themselves in ways more or less question- able? He went on to discus; our respon- sibility as a people for the trouble, and re- marked that one thing has been taught us out of this, that we should strive to o>tain a civil service as independent of party in Canada as it is in ‘Britain, and he for one would support eny party that would pledge itaelf to effect this reform, After defining our duty to the Indians, the Rey. preacher concluded thus: ‘‘At all events, we shall think twice in the future before condemuing any other nation when we have not been able to seitle claims of a few half-breeds without two civil wars, when with the advantage of a century’s peace with the Indians we have stumbled into war with them If the evil that has befallen us has such results in our case, it will not have been for naught that the evil has been sent. We shall reverently acknow- ledge that God's hand was in it and shall ask obediently and earnestly ‘ Lord what wilé thon have us to do?” But they might ask kad not God in His wisdom per- mitted this insurrection, for out of it might spring good and it might be the means of binding the Dominion more closely to- gether and abolishing that_curse of section- alism which every nation and especially a young nation had to contend against. It was this sectionalism that thwarted George Washington in the camp as well as in Con- gress, more than the combined forces of the English and the Russians. Each of the 13 colonies thought of itself rather than of the whole, forgetting, that if the federal cause should suffer each would have been destroyed. oom showed that the very wara which were thought a curse to a country, under the providence of God became a_ blessing. Nothing bound people together so much as fighting and suffering and dying tegether against a common enemy. So in the case of Canada to-day, where men from the Maritime Provinces, from Quebec, and from Ontario and Manitoba were fighting and dying together for the common cause of the Dominion. Surely Canadians, after such a sacred union, would despise disunjon. Again, this experience would give to Cana. daa larger sympathy with the troubles of other naticus. How often had they pointed the finger of scorn at the United Staies in their Indian wars. What little sympathy had __ they vith the mother country in her mission of civil'zing barbarous tribes. England had committed faylts it is true, but of all nations that had te do with inferior and savage people none could show a record so free from stain. The mother country was doing the police work of the world. Regions in Africa, Asia, and the world over she had thrown open to our shipping, to our enter prise and for the benefit both of her own subjects and the less civilized people with whom she had to do. Canadians ought to be proud to form payt qf such an Empire. If ‘he insurrection in the Northwest taught us to repent of our own absorbing maliighnees. our localism, our covetousness, if it made us value common interests abvoe those that were merely individual, if it bound the country together, if it taught us the value of an empire, and made us rise to the con- ception of the duties that this connection imposed upon us, then the calamity that hag befallen us would not have been for naught. if it had not these effects then a worse thing would befail us. - _-_-* - ~ Fiske JUBILFE Sincers,—We clip the fol- lowing from an article in Tuesday’s Halifax Herald :—‘‘The opening concert by the cele- brated Fiske jubilee singers at the academy last evening was attended by a very large audience. The programme consisted of a number of the hymns peculiar to these sing- ers, solos, and part songs. Almost every member was encored, so that the programme was extended to yearly deuble the length originally intended. The music rendered by the jubilee singers is unique he vo,ces remarkably sweet and the effect on the audi- ence is peculiar. ‘Llhey must be seen and heard to be appreciated.” —~»——— “AN Ottawa de: patch says that the Minister of Militia hos ordered the 1emains of Lieut.

The funeral train itself was the finest ever used on the road, and cost about $25,000. oe + pu -——— No White Feather about Captain Cropley. Stung to the quick by the malicious at- tacks of a Fredericton paper, Capt. H. A, Cropley, of the 71st York, thus replies in his own journal, the Capital :— ‘* From the receipt of the regimental order from Co!. Marsh, calling for men from their respective commands, up to the present time, both Captain Cropley and Captain Loggie have been indefatigable in their efforts to have Fredericton honorably and ereditably represented in the New Brunswick regiment ordered to the North- west. Their labors have been cf no light or ordinary character. To the few who have increased this work, time will show their misiake. It was the plaiu duty of every citizen to assist thoae « fiicers in their endeavor to maintain the highly honorable military record of old York, and to send to the front men worthy of nobly standing side by side with the herces from other sections of our broad Dominion. The personal insinuations respecting Capt. Cropley are as false as they are exasperat- ing. The editors of Gregory & Blair's organ have as little head as heart. Indi- vidually Captain Cropley might be a fair target; but that gentleman has a wife and family, whose feelings deinand consider- ation. In addition to this, such a rumor might come to the knowledge of his father, Major Cropley, District Paymaster and Superintendent of Stores for the Province of Prince Edward Island. Captain Cropley has been in the militia alwost uninterrupt- edly for over twenty-five years, during which period almost his highest am- bition has been to help to elevate the standing of our militia. Hesprings from a race of soldiers, his grandfather having been the first Quarter-master Sergeant of that glorious crack regiment, the old his- toric sky-blue 97th,the noble Hedley Vicar’s regiment. His greatgrandfather was an Adjutant in a London Militia regiment. The bones of soldier relatives now repose in Gibraltar, Corfu, Ceylon, India and the Crimea.
