bers' will be present, and in addition, one
or. more. Members of the ministry. The

temperance 'principles, and the tickets
placed at a reasonable figure. Further

SEVEN election petitions have been en-
--'--tered against,the-return-of' members to.
the Manitoba Legislature. The fact that
in a new;pountry,where only 25 members:

cies are supposed to be corrupted, is not
ai very flattering circumstance to the con-;
sti tri en't5.

with a gold watch and chain on the part
of the workingmen, and a:'puree- of $800
.from his fellow citizen:. On these terms
we are willing, to be the ;unsuccessful can-
didate every dayin the year•,'.

and does -not entail, much •inisery;'but the

THE DISPUTE TERRITORY- o-
Now that thepolitical contest is over,
and the party that have asserted their
undisputed right to the territory set' forth•
as the Boundary Award have been sustain-
ed"? the
ustain-edt'the question"naturally` arises;`what
is going to be done about it, and how are
we going to get possession of the territory?"
and as the people of -Ontario . possess a
1arge_sli,ate of'the spirit of independence,
and do not like to be trampled upon or
robbed of their rights,"it'is not likely the
matter is going to be passed bywith in'-
difference or neglect; besides itis already._
an established fact .that there are fcontain-
ed in this territory more.natural wealth
in the shape'of minerals and timber than
in all the --remainder of Ontario, and we
feel certain that sr soon as this trutlu be.
comes generally known' throughout.this
province, an imperative_ demand will'. be
expressed for a settlement of the question,
sothat law order may be established
and "business -carried -on without fear' -of,''"
disturbance. 1
To look at the matter from an unbiased
standpoint, we think no one could say
otherwise than that;Ontario.had the best-
right to the territory, without taking into
consideration._any prior claim, as it joins
her, with a long stretch ' of her territory,
and the best means of e'it is through'On-.
tario,. and no province is so much interest-
ed in its: welfare and government as she is.
Under these cir.cumstances'it seems reason-
able to suppose.tbat herpeople opght to
lie a unit in- th'e-demand--fbr,its-peaceable
.possession at once, for delays'are not only.
dangerous in complicating 'matters, but
in this instance it is liable .to be a source
of irrigation'between two provinces that
are already,. by- nationality, very _much .tit.
variance.
In the last issue of Grip there -is a --car-;
toon ef.John A. as a.dog.lving down with
his front lege across, the Boundary Award,
21 Meredith and Mowat„ as two' little boys
looking at him., the former asking the lai-
ter "How are you going to get it?" Yes,
this is just the question ; but can it be;'
supposed that:; in this free country this
important matter is going to be permitted
to remain. so Iong? If John A. neglects
to do ,anything and there should• happen
to be a rush of gold -seekers to • this new
Eldorado neat summer, it would become.
imperative upon Mowat, as the trustee of'.
the Award, to establish a system of gov-
ernment and look after the proceeds of
'the property. Taking all things into con-
sideration, there is no longer any tine for.
dilly-dallying, and:if John A. does not

the following from the Mail of Wednes-
