A LIBERAL PLATFORM.
Canada First, an independent paper,
submits the following as the platform of
the Liberal party.
"There is the corning issue of Canada
nationality; of Canada's right to make
her own treaties; of the development of
the North West in the interest of settlers,
not speculators and lpnd companies; of
opposition to railwaV syndicates that
threaten to grind the „farmers down to the
lewest margin of substance; of the sim-
plcation of our system of Government
and a reduction in the cost of legislation,
• of the abolition of exempttons and class
privileges, of the extension of the franchise;
• of the preservation of provincial rights;
and may other issues in the settlement
of which a new, a young and vigorous
• arty could take a decided stand.
Commenting on which the Otta.wa Free
•'Press adds: -
"It would perhaps be hardly possible to
state the platform of the Liberal party
more concisely than it is here stated. Add
the reform or abolition of the Senate, ex-
tension of the franchise, and the abolition
ef partial and •excessive taxes on bread,
fuel, and raw material, and the programme
will be complete."
- Abo1itihi or reform in the Senate is an
• ,
issue in particular in whichniany Conser-
vatives will give their support; and there
are others of ''the .principles enumerated
above which we believe they will suppoie
when the time:.ceines for them to 'record
their votes.'
T
THEN. P. AND TARHE1tS.
• The repliesr-t-o-Dr--,Onten•ls -se-ries of
questions to farmers,: are being received
by the Conithittee at Ottawa, and; as was
anticipated, are mainly from such perions
as Would swallow • bolus bolus• anything-
_

source. Any one knowing such persons
as P. Kelly, ; D. Weir.„,Ilowiek.; J.

James H. Tlaorno,4anyille,, Annapolis;

IT is said that at the close ef the session
Ron. Mr. Aikens;Secreteiry of State-, will
be appointed' Lieut, -Governor Mani-
toba, and Mr.' Plumb will- succeed him in
the Cabinet.
THE Signal quoting from the assess-
ment table in last week's NEW ERAT e -±-
,tracts a couple of items where they are
lower than last year, and tries to convey
the impression that the assessment is low-
er, and the town consequently retrogress-
ing. Whereas, the fact is that the assess -
mentis $12,000 more than in 1881.
THAT was a disgraceful affair at Ottawa,
last week, 'when the Secretary of the
Syndicate, who had been favored with a
seat on the floor of the House, interrupted
Mr. Blake with thd remark "That's a lie."
The fact of his being ender the influence
of liquor was no excuse. He subsequently
tendered an etiology to Mr. Blake for the
insulting remark, but 'should have been
made to apologise to parliament, also.
THE number Of Ministerialists who an-
nounce their intention of retiring to private
life at the close of the session is large, and
on tile increasePerhaps this is simply
an anticipation of the widli of a majority
of their constituents, who, if an opportu-
.
nity were given them, would send the re-
presentative so certainly into private life
that they would never again be ls.nOten as
public men. Their ;retirement may be
accepted, at any rate„ as 2 sign of the
times.
