It gives detailed returns showing 2,125 miles completed for the first six months, against 1,181 miles for the same period last year. —The Winuipeg Tribune—s §Liberal paper—remarke that another large award is to be given by the Dominion Parlia- ment to the railway promoters, in addi- ‘ida to che tnillioa* of eXeessive capital- ization already suthorized, and says ; Of the merits of the grant ymade east of Lake Superior and westof the Saskatchewan, file can be know here, but, if they are f he same rort a- the subsidies given to he compan 'e» Oj erating in this province, thew are buretacy | robberies of the peo~ ple. —Of Sir Charles Tupper the Banner (L bern ) rave: travelling iban any public life in Canada, He likes te be busy. When h- is not making speeshes he is ruehing from one side of the world to the other, and when he i¢ not rushiag be is making epeeches.” Unquestionably Bir Charlesia a remarkable man. His great activity stamps bim as of the same type as Gladstons, There are many ex: cellent features in his spaeches. One strong point about them is that they in- culeate the same loyalty to Canada and the Empire everywhere. A united Canada and a united Empire is Sir Charles Tup~ per’s policy. Another good pointie the circumstance tbat they ere not tricky or contradictory. Sir Charles ie not a Laar- ier, ready to say in one place what he denies elsewhere, or to advecate what he does not believe. Jobn Ball frankness characterizes Sir Charles, and it is a bet- ter quality than Parisian cunning. —It wasa strange correspondence that passed between Senator Sce't and Mr. McInnes, the late Governor “of British Columbia. Obviously Mr Scott was di- recting the Lieutenant-Goversor what to do from the beginning tothe end of the provincial troubles. The iden was the Dundas “He does more other man in union of the Liberals on Dominion lines inthe province. Mr. MoelInnes writes triumphantly tothe Secretary of State when Mr Joe Martin was made Premier): “This will mean the unification of what was @ badly disorganized party and I trust you will be disposed to recognize the ser- vice my action has rend- ered here.” A wmonth later Mr Scott began to think that the Governor and Mr. Manin would not pull through. Thereupon he expressed doubts concerning the wisdom of the action Mr. McInnes had taken. This dissatisfied Mr. McInnes. Afier the defeat of Mr. Martin the Ottawa Government promptly “recognized” the Governor’s services by dismissing him withott allow~ ing bim the privilege ef entering adefence. What right had Mr. Scott to direct a pro- vincial governor huwto deal with his Ministers? It was an intervention by Ot- tawa in locel affairs, for which there is no warrant. But there ie a lessen init, It shows that the Federal Ministers have their fingers in every provincial pie. _—Speaking before ‘the British Federa- tion,” of Paris, a few evenings ago, Mr. Tarte said : “Gentlemen, you will visit the Canadian exhibition (here ia Farie.) We have built no palace ; we are net a frivolous nation. But we have brought here the proof of our fecundity. After having visited the Cana- dian exhibition——whieh, however, I regret to say it, ie not whatit ought to be, and does not give an absolutely exact idea of the resources of my country—youn will ask , meif France would not have done well to entertain kindly feelings more often towards us, I wish to make no reproach- es—thie is not the place to make them. But may Iread what M. Reclus wrote twelve years ago and what I read a few days since as by accident? ‘Canada,’ he eaid,‘was the most beautiful revival of oureelves On @ cOmtinent where there was room fer the greatest nation of the future. Franee let the chance go miserably. But despita 125 years of reparation, it is the country over seas which holde the moat Frenchmen who haveremained French. A frivolous race, we seareely suspected it, and we and ouremigrante have been submerged near or far from theré ia the ‘allophobes’ or the ‘allophiles.’ **T will guard myself againet being toe severe. Brat I will allow myself to make this reproach to the Franee I leve with all the strength of my soul, that she does aot think of as as wethink of her, I would thet your diplomacy would never forget that on the other side of the seas your tricolor floats over the heads of three million Frenchmen.” — a —— Goop Tamrrars—At Wedneeday’s meet- ing et Pownal officers were elected an follows :— GC T.—-S M Martin, Meatherdale.
