It was diiritig the settlement of the "Alabama Claims” that thc distingu- ished American Senator, Sumner, said: “The greatest trouble if not the peril is front fettianistn which is excited bv thc British. flag in Canada. The withdrawal should be from this Itemispltere, inclittling provinces and islands." The dangers were real because the temptation of a rich and vacant lattd, practically itiaccessible to its sovereign power, was too great for any ambitious neighbor Ioiig to withstand. It was either" union of all the principal parts of British North America or else that the separate parts were liable as they ripened one by one tc fall into the arms of the United States. The cottditions of danger lwere overcome by the events which speedily followed, viz :— TIIL tassembliitg together of the members which now compose the Doni- inion of Canada, which began with the union of Upper and Lower Canada, henceforth known as the Provinces of Ontario and Qtte~ bec, with Nova Scotia and New Brunswick iit 1867. Next Mani toba was constituted as a Province iit 1870. Rupert's Land was ptircltasctl front thc Iludson Bay Company (with certain reserva- tions) iit i869, and with thc North West Territory was ceeded to the [Jontinion of Cattada in 1870. British Columbia joined the union itt I871 and Prince Edward Island in I873, thus completing the territorial consolidation of the Dominion to include all the British domittioits i_ii the North American Continent. But over the North Western lands hung like a dark cloud the Indian title. Until it should be removed not one acre of land itt the present provinces of Alberta and Saskatchewan was open for settlement. In the year i867 the Senate and House of Cominotts by a joint address to Her Majesty praying that both Rupert's Land and tlte North Western Territory should be admitted to the Union represented that upon the transference of the territories in ques- tion to the Ctmiidiitit Government, “the claims of the Indian tribes to compensation for lands required for purposes of settlement would be considered and settled in conformity with the equitable principles which have uniformly governed the British Crown iii its dealings with the aborigines." This proposal was accepted by the British Crown aitd incorporated in the Canadian Constitution by Imperial order-in-cotiticil dated 23rd June, i870. By the Dominion statute of 1873 a new branch of the Cana- dian scrvice described as the Department of the Ittterior was given control atid management of the affairs of the North \Vest Terri- tories which included under that name Rupert's Land. To this office a native of this Province, one of the members for Queen's, was appointcd-tlte Hon. David Leard, who adntittistered tlte of- fice for three years when hc was appointed as the First Lieuten- ant Governor and Indiatt Commissioner, 1876 to 188i. As Lieu- Itettatit Governor he was assisted by a Council appointed by the Crown, with powers equivalent to those conferred upon the Gov- ernor of a Crown Colony. The territory Ito be administered cott- taiited more than twice the area of all the Canadian provinces combined. The setting up and administration of a new govertr ntent over a region so vast was a work of the first magnitude. The settlement with tlte various Iitdian tribes was successfully accomplished throughout all the region then required for colon- ization. In later years (1899-1900) dttring his second tenure of the office of Indian Commissioner, the last of the great treaties ivas concluded with the Indians of the territory known as the McKenzie Basin. 'l'-ltus tlte good will of the Indians had been won, and thc most accessible parts of thc prairie opened for settlement; bttt from Mattitoba to the Rocky Motttitains stretched a thousand miles of plain, unguarded aitd utttenanted. The Hudson Bay Company had given up its governing power and the new ruler had not yet appeared. The throne was empty. It was the danger Ipcriod of the \i\"est. Not only were. the fires of Indian wars still ystnottldering across the boundary line. but fibm the South. mar- Iilllfllllg bands of white men threatened the peace attd security of thc new Catiadian settlctttetits. Two instances will suffice:— A ipilfl)‘ of ivhiskey smugglers from Montana crossed iitto Canada to Ia cantp of Assinaboitts. got all the property which the Indians lwotild give iii exchange for tlte liquor, and, when the latter were lstillicicittly drunk, shot down forty of 'the_m in cold blood.
