the Dominion Government for ita northwest
land policy and course• rn reference to the
Syndicate, and in a letter tothe'Globe on`the
Subject, the chairman of the meeting .makes
use of the following very , strong language,.
which at leant; shows the feeling in that place:.
While willing to admit the apparent anxiety
fo our rulers at Ottawa to do what is :'right
and just to this the youngest and whatmight
be termed an outlying Province of the Domin',
ion, yet we fear that the influence of such: a
powerful corporation as the. Canada Pacific
Syndicate is more than the Members of the
Dominion Government.. can succesfully con-
tend against, and if allowed to go any fur.
ther without the voice of the people' ',of this
-Province" being . unanimously raised—against-
their present i olicy, the result will be most
- -----.yl;dastrous. You, Mr. Editor, and the 'large,
majority" 5r the people et ••Ontario, are, per-
haps not aware 'of the extent of the injury
the present.. mistaken policy of the Govere-
ment is entailing npon this Province. Secure
in your commanding position. with a strong
Local Government, ready and willing at all
times to combat the encroachment of the
. Federal Government in your local affairs;
. knowing your position and the danger of try.•
ing your temper too far, the Ottawa Govern-
ment will think twice before meddling with
your local questions. With us, however, it
is different—a Province comparatively young
and a population widely scattered, with little•
wealth, but great hopes and determination to
carve out homes for themselves in what was,
only a very short time since, . known as the
"Great Lone Land." Consequently the Cen-
tral Government are less solicitous for our
wellbeing, and feeling strong i'n their posi-
tion would seem more careless of whit we
think, or reluctant to incommode themselves
to benefit the Province of Manitoba.: The
welfare of the Syndicate is to them apparently
of more importance than the prosperity or
happiness of the people,'bence` everythiag is
made subservient to this huge monopoly, so
much so that the interests of the people 'aro
never thought of, and things have to be borne
here that would not be tolerated; for one hour
on any railway in Ontario. • What would you
think, Mr. Editor, of an official of one of your
railways being reduced from his position for
daring to be attentive to the passengers . um.
der his Dare by endeavoring to procure : them
a little food, after starving•them`for a day'or
two while stuck in a snowdrift ? I know you
would say it was barbarous and should not be
, tolerated in any Christian land. And yet
people in this country have to put up with
such things and have no redress.. If. they, at-
tempt to help themselves,'and subscribe their
money to build a line of railway even'in•.our.
own Province that may have; the; slightest
semblance to opposition, the powers at Ottawa
are evoked, and the fiat is sent forth, "No
railway cal: be built south of the Canada.Pa•
cific Railway." The country must^ remain a
wilderness for twenty years rather than allow
-the Syndicate to lose one link .of the iron
chain wound round'our necks., This mayap-
pear a. very, slight matter to 'the people of. On-
tario, but if they lived here a','few years they
would think it a very serious evil, and would
not tolerate the injustice for •ODD. hour,
•
r is stated tbat;the Prince and Princes
of \'ales will visit Canada next season.
We hope the people will treat them Most
courteously and loyolly, lint will stop short of.
•snaking asses of themselves, as is sotrietirnes
the rasa whenentertaining these of royal
blood,
.'rxz Ottawa Free Press is authority for
the following:—
l'heprobabilities and possibilities of4•the
general- election are still discussed with an
uneasy feeling among .Ministerlalists: 11 is
now believed that if the sossion lasts beyond
the first week in'May it will be impossible to
_brivg on the general election in June, and if
' it cannot be held in June it will not take
place this year,
Mr. Dennis Moore, .stove Manufacturer, at
}lamilton, speaks as follows, in reference to
the duty on stoves:— .
Were these duties not levied stoves would
be cheaper than -they are, notwithstanding the
stove combination, as- we could not keep up
rates fully against stove makers' not in the
combination were the latter also unhampered
by ,the datiee on. material. . Vat.customers
pay rhe duties, and we intend that theyshall.'
What a fano it is for newspapers •and others
to say that "the producer pays,,the ilnty"
when experience' and the testireeny ofma'•nu-
facturor is directly to the contrary,
•
e•i• "distant•fields look green" is a' pie.

they are not always as green -aa; they: look,

States where 'from his "C%anadian•home, every=

"Laws, society, schools, churches, climate;

says, are much better in Ontario than in the
Western. States. I know, ' that. Canada has
the best laws and society in the world. 1 can
only express the wish to hear of yoic continued
prosperity; and that you may never become
inculcated with any of'Bncic Sam's laws and

ston, the Conservative candidate for West

$2 a day is not an uncommon wage for
^men of certain classes in Ontario—in fact
many artisans are on strike for more—yet
there are lots who rush off to Manitoba at
the prospect of, no higher wages, while
their living will cost them much more
than in Ontario. A pestle and mortar,
would not put facts into the heads of some
men, and it only dear experienee that',
will convince some of their foliv.
The case of 'General. Hewson vs. Sir
John A. Macdonald, does not appear to
be settled, yet. •• It, was before the Court at
Toronto, on Tuesday, when & reversion of
judgment was asked by the plaintiff,
Judge Armour reversed the decision given
by Mr. Dalton and' contended' that it .was
a question that should go before a jury:'
The evidence therefore will -be taken in
the case at Ottawa on the 17th April.

The trouble between the late pastor of

the general topic of conversation. Of

but this ia,oue of. those: matters the less'

should remember that the Methodists are
