THE RED RIVER RAILWAY
ROW.
If we understand tho case the C.
P• R. contend that the building
of the Red River Railway is a viola-
tion of sec. 15, 44 Vic. which enacts
that : "For 20 years from the date
hereof (Fob. 1881,) no lino of railway
shall be authorized by the Dominion
Parliament to be constructed South
of the Canadian Pacific Railway, from
any point at or near the Canadian
Pacific Railway except such line as
shall run South West, of to West-
ward of Sonth West ; nor to within
15 miles of I.atittido 49. And in
tho establishment of any new Pro•
vince in the Northwest Territories,
provision shall be made for continu-
ing such prohibition after such
establishment until the expiration
of such period." This Act was
•evidently intended to apply to
the Province of Manitoba., the only
one then or now in the North \Neste
for in the lac=t paragraph it includes
any new Province iu the North
West; clearly showing that the Act
was intended to apply to the one at
that time existing.
The row in Manitoba isover an
alleged violation of the provisions
of the Aot of 1881 above referred to.
The Local Government say that oven
though the Dominion Government
did ounet that a monopoly of rail-
way building should be vested in
the C. P• R. for 20 years from 1881,
the Dominion Government had no
. power in the platter. This is where
the conflict between Federal and
Provincial authority will coine in.
The Grit press will have it that the
Federal Government will resort to
.armed force at once. 13ut the Gov-
,ernment have given no intimation
of any such course, It is- quit
evident that the matter will be test-
ed in the courts, and possibly at last
referred to the Judicial Committee
of the Privy Council of England.
And whatever the decree of that
Court is it will bo enforced at auy
cost. As in the caSe of idol, those
must be one law for all, and when
the proper• time arrives that law—
the supreme law of the people as
passed by their representatives in
the Federal Parliament and inter-
preted by the highest judicial
tribunal in tho EtiSpiro-=Binet be
maintained.
The O'onfedteration' Act empovcre
the D:ruiiuing Parliament to pass an
•Act to confer the privileged stn•
bodied• iu the 0. P. R. Act or the
Compeuty. Those who would nulli-
fy --the menopoiy claws; are acting
in direct opposition 10 our consti..

of that Clonfeelrratien Act shall he

DIFFERENT OPINION,''.
'1'o strain at a gnat and swallow a
camel is notoriously the practice of
the Grit partisan press. One of the
most aofisele.-as instances of straining
wo find in the last issue of our local
contemporary.
Sir John JIacdonehl addressed a
meeting of his fellow citizens, a
few weeks ago, in Now 13ruuswick.
In his ,journey down there the crops
gave every evidence of turning out
fully average. Sir John congratu-
lated his hearers on the smiling
crops and the prospects of peace and
plenty. .Bat our totem has found
its usual mare's nest when it repeats
an alleged conversation it had last
week with Reeve Keine of Go•rie.
Mr. Raine said the crops in his sec-
tiou are "very bad. Farmers who
have threshed find that grain which
looked very well in the field has
yielded very poorly."
Tho remarks of Sir John and
Roovo Keine aro contrasted and the
hypercritical soul of our eotem
waxes wroth, and there wells up
from beneath his waistcoat an in-
dtgnant protest against Sir John
for daring to express an opinion re -
'garrUtug thgtcwiok of 40 cotmty

the opinion that crops are bed' iii
his vicinity, our cotem charges
Sir Join with being' inotrufiliifu'I.
But even Mr. Heine's words "the
grain looked well in the field" jus-
tifies Sir Johp's remarks, were it
nocess«try to do so, as he based them
on what Ile had seen of the fields
and whet had been repol;ted by
others who had seen the standing
crops.
It may seem rather trivial to at-
tempt to refute such absurdities as
aro contained in the article we are
now referring to. We merely du
so to show to what straits a Grit
journal is driven iu order to make a
point against Sir John and to show
that he is very untruthful, and .that
the respected Reeve of Howick,
though just as strong a Conservative
as the Premier, isnot '°quite so flip-
pant and untruthful." How very
kind of our Grit towu cotein to say
that Mr. Keine is not quite so flip-
pant and untruthful as the Premier!"
Tho italics are oars lint the words
aro the Era's. And oue has only
to allow that journal rope enough
and it will hang itself every time
while attempting to balance itself
on a point composed of the small
end of nothing, and yet it will come
up smiling the next week on some
other visionary subject.
In attacking the voracity of
Mr. Baine it says this gentleman "is
not gltito so untruthful, as the
Premier." So then both these
Tories are untruthful if the Era
is to be believed. Itis only a ques-
tion of degree. Sir John is untruth-
ful, \It•• Keine is not quite so un-
truthful. It is an acknowledged
rule of evidence that if a witness is
found to be untruthful in only one
natter he is not to be relied upon
in others. It is also a rule to accept
with a grout deal of caution the evi-
dence of one who is guilty of the
very same offence as the person
whom he is testifying against. The
Era arraigns Sir John before the
public with being untruthful, with
having said that there were smiling
crops etc. In order to prove its case it
produces as evidence ono whom it
brands as a p artweps erirninis. It
calls upon Reeve Keine, and in
placing him in the witness box it
certifies hfm to be "not quite so un-
truthful" as the accused. The
court of public opinion will. throw
the whole case out, when the chief.
witness called is only one degree a
less criminal than the party sought
to be, convicted.
We shall now put the accuser at
the bar and show him to bo the
guilty person, guilty of an abortive
attempt to brand the Premier of the
Dominion a liar an Capt. Laine of
Her Majesty's 33rd ibattallion, Hu-
ron Militia, .Reeve of Howick and
ex -Warden of the County, to be
only ono degree loss immoral than
the Preinier-that is not quite so
untruthful.
Th•
e Ontario Bureau of Industries
figures down the crops of Ontario as
two-thirds of .an average, which is
not ruinously bad. -
In Manitoba and the Northwest
the harvest has boon as fruitful oue
—beyoud that of any other, year by
probably four million bushels.
Tho Province of Quebec has a
full average yield, and the other
Provinces not far behind.
When Sir John congratulated
the people on "smiling crops," he
was positively truthful in the
premises. For as Reeve Keine says,
and he is a truthful man instead of
uutruthfnl as the Era would like
the pnblic to believe, "the brain
looked well in the field." And it
was chiefly on that condition of
things that the Pre tier. -based his
remarks. But the country as a
wholollis to bo congratulated on the
accomplished result of the harvest,
though that of Ontario is believed
at this time to be somewhat below
the average, and in Ilowick very
much below that desirable state.
Senator Sharman told the Cana-
dians at Winnipeg that the Ameri-
cans accord the whole world the
privilege of stealing their fish. Nay,
nay, Mr. Sherman, the Americans
will not even allow Britishers to
fish in waters that aro by the laws of
nations open to the whole world.
The American outrages on Canadian
fishermen aro of too recent occur-
rence for Canadians to swallow any
such gammon. It are too fishy

Some G'anadian papers are manu-

making it out of the whole cloth.
Some of the material is the same

the purpose and warranted as genu-

A Detroit paper has been doing
the thing up in fine style and pub-
lished the alleged views of repre-
sentative Canadians. These views
as given are pronouncedly in favor
of commercial union or annexation.
But in the majority of cases they
aro repudiated by those to whom
they are attributed. Bore aro a

Belleville, 22ud Aug., 1887.
To the Editor of the Intelligeucer.
,DEAR SIR,—Permit are to repudiate
the article published in your issue of
Saturday last, copied from the Do•
troit News.
The article contains so many glar-
ing inaccuracies that a contradiction
is scarcely necessary ; yet I desire to
'remove any.inforenee that might he

HE nUCR's AGAINST I1•.
Mr. William Buck, the eminent
iron-foauder, of Brantford. and
maker of the well-known radiant
'homestove,has been made appear that
he had expressed views favorable to
commercial union with 'tiro United
States, as well as giving it as Lis opin-
ion that annexation or independence
is the inevitable destiny of Canada
and that in the near future; Tho
real views of Mr. Buck, as expressed
to an interviewer employed by the
Toronto World 'aro worth giving in
full. , He says : "I am opposed to
commercial union because, so far as
I am able to judge, the' inevitable re-
sult of such a change in our trade
relations with the United States will
be 'annexation. Many Canadians,
who are reported to be favorable to
commercial union at the present timo,
will oppose it to the death. whenever
they realize, , as I clo, thatit must be
followed by the breaking up of British
connection. As to myself, it is
doubtful if I could'esuccesst'u}fy com-
pete against 'American wares in my
own line under commercial union. I
can truly say that Brantford would
not be the manufacturing place it is
to -day if the Americans were • per.
mitted to deluge this country with
goods at slaughtered prices. Its con-
ditions as an inland city is not favor-
able to the overcoming; of such a
keen rivalry as its manufacturers
would be subjected to by Americon
capitalists. Toll the readers of .The
World that I am opposed to commer-
cial union, and that. I will fight an-
nexation to the death."
iT Is RIDICULOUS.
The same reliable Detroit paper
quoted Dr. I(elly, public • school in-
spector of Brant; as a friend of com-
mercial union. The Dr. was also in-
terviewed by the -World and says: "I
don't care a fig for commercial union,
the thing is ridiculous," and so, for
the matter of that, say we all. The
thing is ridiculous.
EDI7'ORIAL N07'ES.
There would seem to be no dearth
of budding statesman 'in the ranks
of the Grit press. The latest states-
manlike effort by those gentry is the
getting up a canard that Sir John
had asked the Imperial Govern-
ment for troops to enforce the
authority of the Dominion Govern-
mentin Manitoba. Columns of Grit
bewailinent over theimaginaryshooting down of Canadians by
British troops have deluged the
Grit' press—over a state of affairs
which exists'only in the minds of
the Grit scribblers. Yea, verily,
aro they budding Statesman accord-
ing to the Napoleonic estimate.
Napoleon in expressing his opinion
of the Austrian Chancellor \lessor
nich said, "M. De. Metter'ich
comes near to being a states-
man—he lies very well." Talk
about dearth of statesmen in the
Grit ranks after this ! Sir John states
for publication that no such ab
surd idea had ever been entertain-
ed by bio as to ask for Imperial
troops, and a member •of the British
Government on the floor of the
House said no request of tho kind
had boon made.
Tho Montreal Witness : "Mr.
Goldwin Smith supports the Cana -
Pacific Railway contract, though
whieh in some cases might bo palli-
ated. Mr. Smith bolds the same
views witii-rogard to the Manitoba
Railway defficulty. Ho admits the
legality of the monopoly clause, but

Dominion aifthoritios attempt to en-
force that clause The Witness does
not exactly approve of rebellion by
the Manitobans to assert their illeg-
al
lleaal contention, but it squints violent-
ly in that dirdetion when it expresses
the Lope that the Dominion Govern-
ment will not drive the Manitobans
into rebellion. The Witness never
expressed the Lope that the Govern-
ment; vould not persist in driving
the people into rebellion by attempt-
ing to enforce the unpopular Scott
Act. In fact it has always held that
the law of the land should be
rigorously uphold in the case.. of
Scott Act. If so why not enforce
the law in regard to the monopoly
clause of the C. P. R. contract ?

SENATOR SIIERMAN SPEAKS.
Senator Sherman and his party

from the West and a few minutes
later left for the East. He express-
ed himself ns surprised at the
grand attractions on the Canadian
Pacific Railway. In reference to
the question of reciprocity, he said
"Reciprocity might be simultaneous-
ly reached by mutual laws passed
by both governments, but it is not
within human experience that sea
an end should be reached by snob
means, There must first be confer-
ences, and in any treaty Great Bri-
tain would have to be considered as
representing Canada, for although
the Dominion Government bas the
widest measure of Horne Rule, it
has not the power to complete a
treaty without reference to Great
Britain." Regarding the flsheries
dispute he had only to say "that he
hoped the Canadian authorities
would not continue to refuse shel-
ter and all other good things fisher.
men need, to American fishers. The
United States accord everyone in
the world those privileges (?) and do
not like to be debarred from them,

Editor News -Record.
DEAR Slur -Now don't use a little
word commencing with a big D
you recognise the writing of "that
fellow Junius." I wish to relieve
Mr. Colborne of the odium he might
rest under by being eonsidered the
writer of the letter, signed Junius, in
your paper of last week. Mr, Col•
borne is not -Junius nor has there
been any collusion between the two
Nor is any member of the council
Junius. My object--, in writing you
last week was to encourage our
municipal representatives to do their
duty in spite of the bulldozing threats
of the press. As a freeholder -rate-
payer I consider that in doing so I
am exercising a privilege I enjoy and
performing the duty of a good citizen.
Newspaper men too often assume to
themselves arbitrary powers. For
my own pari 1 never could see and
do not now see that a man, because
he has. the means of disseminating
what he writes, as a consequence
possesses the whole governing power
of the community. Our town news-
paper men have asserted in words,
but will have some difficulty in as-
serting as a fact, that the represen•
talion of the town does not depend
upon the choice of the ratepayers,
but is at the mercy of the two editors.
But the mass of wy fellow citizens
are not deficient in understanding or
spirit i they have the sense to fuel
and the spirit to resent the usurpa-
tion of arbitrary power by the two
editors. We elect our councillors to
serve the interests of the town gen-
erally, net the interests of any two
men or any half dozen men. The
newspaper ,puncta may continue its
attempts to deceive the public with
false representations, but they will
fail. Even though one of them
should treat Junius, on the platform,
in anything but__a milk and water
style (and we may meet there or 'at
Phillipi before the end of the year) ;
or though the other should condemn
Mr. Colborne with a great -big D and
fail to rec•rgnise the council. I no-
tice that Mr. McGillicuddy, in referr-
ing to his opinion of the action of the
finance committee 'regarding his ac•
count says he "claims no. credit for
making a truthful statement." No,
I should think not. It would not
be right to claim credit for some-
thing that'did not-ex-ist,---His "state-
ments'' are all opinions: My state-
ments of last week remain, unchal•
lenged. One gentleman agreeing
with them said he believed the
writer was a certain person whose
hair was white with the frost of many
winters: 1PThen," replied another,
"blessings on his frosty pow," Mr.
McGillicuddy wanted the council to
run after his high 'mightiness and
when they met him to salaam to the
ground and then express their regret
for daring to criticise his account.
In regard to this enormous charge,
about $110 by each paper, for adver-
tising by-laws : Mr. McGillicuddy
says that the council had previously
paid at the same rate an account for
$1 and that the chairman of the
finance committee by paying one
dollar accounts, which implied a cer-
tain rate, had recognised the right of
the printers to charge at the sante
rate for work 'involving nearly one
hundred times the amount. Printers
must have a code of ethics that does
not apply to other businesses. 1f I
go into Mr. Colborne's store and buy
$1 worth of a certain article he will
charge me his regular price. If I
require $100 worth of the same goods
at once ho would make a reduction.
Is it right when the printers receive
a large order at once in one line
that they should insist upon the
same rate as if the work had been
done in farthing dribs.? In any case
if the printer's accounts were unfair-
ly criticised, it was their duty to of.
ter explanations,not the duty of the
council' to run after the printers who
knew from the report of the finance
committee the reasons for objection
being taken to the account. Mr.
McGillicuddy in the first part of a
long letter admits that his account
was objected to because "the charge
was too high," he appears later on
to wish to convey the idea that he
did not know why his account had
been objected to. IIe allowed a

ENGLISH CROPS.
WHEAT NOT UP TO EXPECTATIONS.
Tho London Times publishes tiro
following about the English crops:
—"Wheat comes out as the boat
crop of the year, as was to be ex-
pected. It is not so great a crop,
however, as a few enthusiasts were
hoping for. It was not to be ex-
pected that it would be. The cold
winter and spring and the absence
of rain when the plant was young
wore bound to have their effect, and
thus it happens that the crop,
though good, is not an extraordinary
ono. It cannot be denied that ow-
ing to the extraordinary low prices
that have prevailed and a long series,
of wet years, the land is not now in
that state of high tillage which would
warrant us in expecting au extra-
ordinary crop. The quality of the
grain will be high, and wo take it
for granted that a crop of about
thirty-two bushels of,'sixty • pounds.
each will bo gathered in. Wo may
put out wheat as producing a crop
of little over 9,000,000 quarters
gross, giving a crop, to sell of a
little over 7,000,000 quarters, This
will leave us dependent on foreign
supplies for' at lesst 17,000,000, and
probably 19,000,000 quarters, for
it must not, be forgotten that the
shortness of the. -potato crop will
cause a greater demand than Usual
for breadstuffs.
