The Manitoba Elections. Paver since the people of Manitoba be gan to agitate for freedom from railway bondage, the Empire has termed the agitation "the work of a few disgruntled Grits." It aucl the party it represents refused to. believe that there was any general desire in Manitoba to botrelievecl •rf the railway monopoly, and it wits Only when Norquay's government was defeat- ed that they began to see there was a strong feeling against the monopoly po. ?icy of the Dlmillion Government. - Even then the Empire professed to be- lieve that it would blow over in a few days, and the Conservative party would resume its place as the dominant one in that province. The elections of last week have surely removed any further doubt that the Empire might have on this point. It hardly happens more than once in an ordinary lifetime that a political party gets so thoroughly defeated, as has the Norquay party, for out of 38 seats in the Manitoba Legislature, the Liberals car- ried 33, Mr Norquay himself squeezing in by only two of it majority. That that this result was attained through dissatisfaction over the Dominion (ioy- ,rumentos railway policy, no one can doubt, for Mr. Greenway's chief appeal was on the strength of his railway plat- form. While this election is an unequivocal •_ondem,iation of the railway monopoly, 1,.'e are not disposed to think that it will :effect the election of Dominion Govern- tnent supporters. Doubtless a good •n any Conservatives supported Green- ,.vay, who would not, in a general elec. ,lion, vote against the regular nominee of the Conservative party. Mr. Greenwaywill be able to carry Y any measure that he likes now, but we do not anticipate that he will abuse his privilege, 'becausesooner or later ha - would be called toaccount, and he would be taking a risk that alight be anything but advantageous to him, even hs a yiolitician. o . FVisdotn from a Conservative 'Source. In a Twelfth of July oration at l'ort -ireve, Mr. John White, ex-M.P. forl:ast 2fastings, is reported to have spoken as allows:-- ' '•But'•' while they were cheering his s-ag tiiay were doing -did it ,a•:3ur to them •th,.t 1.bey wore in a pecu- lirposition as far tae commercial reci- �►ro`pty was concernec1. In 1879 they carrred tkre N.P„ and also 1`Ieced on the Statute Beek, with the unanimous con - :sent of parliament, a measure which provided that as soon as the United -Mates said they would exchange wit.`! -is, free el tariff duty, the products of 1 She soil, the mine, the forest and the fisheries, Canada would be ready to re- ciprocate. That was a statement of tact. (IIear, hear.) Now he could not he charged with Grittism. Hehad been Tor thirty-two years a follower of Sir Sohn Macdonald, and of that time he bad been in parliament sixteen or„sev- enteen sessions, and had no leaning to- •:'.vards the Reformers. They would give Slim credit for that. Well, then, as one themselves he would ask them w e h - e .Cher they could draw back from the de. • *leration they had placed on the Statute .!gook? That then, was in part, com- mercial reciprocity. But if the Ameri- .: ans came forward and said: "Let us add :manufactures to the list of free goods," .could they refuse thein? It •-would be, impossible to do so. He spoke $or the bone and sinew of the country, for the agriculturist who ought to.have an opportunity tobuy in the ,cheapest :and to sell in the highest market which !Se could find. He would not sacrifice 1 ' the many for the few for ever and ever. Let the country adjust itself to its cir- :sumstances and go forward with the march of events. (Cheers). Public ex- •penditure must bo curtailed. (Cheers.) They were too much • governed. They ?tad .toe many Governors, too many Par - risi orate, and too much of a Senate.- illhe money which was spent on the up. keep of these ought to clothe their sons toad daughters. (Cheers,) "The fact that a few ministers can exclude every layman, and court-mar- tial one of their own cloth until, by irri- tation and insult, they drive hiin from their ranks, is evidenceof•a great wrong. It is the old thing over again -which has caused so many splits in Methodism in its past history -it is a relic of priest craft which ought to bo extinguished by the admission of laymen into every court of the church, and into the Sta- tioning Committee. I am a Methodist minister of long standing, and I am free to confess that if I was -starting over again, with my present knowledge, I would not join any church where the laymen were not admitted in all courts and committees of the same." In the current number of the Chris tian Guardian are three letters criticis- ing the Committee, bne of whichis from the pen of J. J. McLaren, Q.C., Toren• to, and contains these suggestive words : "The stationing power in the Metho- dist Church in Canada is a despotism tempered by invitation. I am satisfied that it has been the practical recogni- tion of the system of invite tion•that has made the exercise of this power toler- able, and has postponed the inevitable conflict. , So long as there was a dispo- sition to '"ive and. take, and neither par- ty insisted on its. strict rights, so long the system would work. But the mo- ment that either stands out for its, full rights, then the system becomes un- workable. It is the oldstruggle between the King and the Commons in a new form. ,Law and prerogative may be on the side of the Stat;oning Committee, but the laity, like the Commons, hold the purse strings, and if milder meas- ures fail to secure what they want, the extreme step of cutting off the snpplies will be resorted to. Such a conflict is greatly to be deprecated, and it is to be regretted that the exercise of arbi- trary power has already precipitated it." Certainly not a few ministers have lost faith in the impartiality of the Committee, and we believe that a ma- jority of the laymen hold the same view. Confidence in it will never be restored as it was before, however sincere and just it may be hereafter. Prestige is gone, and the system must be entirely remodelled before it will prove satisfac- tory to all concerned. The Toronto correspondent nondent who sums ns to up the respected Secretary of the Meth- odist Church Missionary Society, evi- dently has not much faith in the Dr's platform when he says:- DrSutherland's promise to go on with the third party movement awakens no interest. He is a good talker and a hard worker,birt he is not thought to be big enough to lead any formidablepublio movement. He is probably merely letting himself down easily. • Isn't this a pretty frank declaration, articularly for a Conservative. Mr. unworthy of any such responsible posi• of wood lying close by. tion.

But he touches the key -note •+ff the whole situation in the sentence that follows, "Let the country adjust itself to its circumstances, and go forward with the • march of events."

The heavy clay lands of Adolphus town,the Frede- ricksburg and Richmond, and the gravelly lands of Hallowell, So- phiasburg and Athol aro feeling the dry spell so much that soma fields will not be reaped at all. There are fields of grain in the immediate vicinity of Napanee not worth the cutting, and on some fartns'sotith of Picton there is bar- ley that would not make good pasture. Fully two-thirds of' the farmers in the two counties will= not have enough hay to feed their stock through the winter, and very many of them will not have anything to sell with which to. purchase fend. Two years - ago hay was a drug in the market at $7 a ton ; now very little can be got at'• $17. In Prince Edward, farmers were selling their good cows last week at $12 and $13 each toAmerican purchasers. Pro- bably hundreds can be had at that pi'ice, 1tnd this, too, at a time when both butter and cheese aro com- manding high rates in the market.

Another farmer writing from Mcafurd says the country is suffering trust one of the severest droughts ever known in Ontario and the. crop is gone past redemption. Ife suggests that tho 1/.)minion Government should come to the rescue to save the farmer his homestead and to prevent his being forced to go to the States, either by advancing them loans or else by spending ten or fifteen millions on public works in bad counties. Editor- ially the Mail says either scheme is impracticable. but the mere fait thathl onosClsof this sort should ould bo advanced goes to show that the self-reliance of' the community is being sapped by protection and by the system of state aid which has been introduced into almost ovary walk of life. - Crop and Market Notes.
