Then again we Bti.ce still more recently the pub- [hed opinions Of the Hon. N. 8. B-dway, ex governor "of Dakota, Bio has had exceptional opportuiii BbTo judge of the,capabilities and Bvatitages of the Canadian North- 1st. Mr. Ordway Rays :— ■There t# one advantage which the minion possesses over the United lies and.’Ijat is in respect to>tliei.r: bestead -laws. No one ch n question fact that the Canadian Nor'liw.est is beat country^ ho~th jn extent and efgu_- hrds its pos.siblilies. It has .a, rions future before it, With, fts kt through line—the Canadian lific railway—reaching from, ocean to rd, an extent. of. country and trade Iheen opened up wli’ch tVill be almost lioullimi,. This greatyai way is one Lhich all C-inadia.nssho.uld feel proud. Itainlj no other country can claim an Irprise of cqtial magnitude1, I. found I road much bet’er dmilt—than—L Icipated it could have heeri'when one' frtd,er8 the disadvantages..!,he e< mpany laid....to have labored under 'The Kent, fat l«r of Queen Victoria, approved of it and jn rt»pjy to Mr, Sa well, dued November, 1814, be said, “nothing couk) be lietter ar* ranged than the whole thing is * * * allow tne, however, to suggest whether you would not think two Lieut.-Govemprs, with. JwoExft ecutive-. - Couneila, sufficient for. the Executive Government of tlm whole, viz: one for tho two Canadan, and oue fof- Nova Scotia and New Brunswick, comprehending the small dependencies of Cape Breton and Prince EI ward Island.” It will thus be seen that Confederft-1 t.ion pfonaU the British American . Provinces was not a spasmodic affair; From 1814 on vara the idea was always present to the thought ful minds among the leading men of Britain and Canada, But the sug gestion of tlm Duke of Kent That one of the Lirut. Governors and Council should reside at Montreal und one at Windsor, Nova Scotia, shows that the best informed of those days did hdt i:grasp the mag- jrit ude—of the West.’ -Tlie star of- British Canadian empire has indeed m-<de its way since that time. And it may not be many years ere Ottawa shall be considered too far east for tlm Executive head of British . America to reside. The capital of this Primitjjmj be" 'Winnipeg, and if Clinton fails to get-to be the capital-vf the county, the higher g-fttim of the capita of- tlm. Dominion might Be within her reach. Ah, Bear reader, you say impossible! It, is the impos sible that happens, „ At all events tlie. centrality of the Dominion is changing, and wil| change. The Canada Pacific Rail way will be completed within a year, then we shall have speedy cornmun* ication from tjm Atlantic to the Pacific, What a glorious work, have the people of Canada accomplished, , through the agency of wise rulers ! ’ Referring to tlie progress of the confederation idea, not much is hearU-in high, placqs about, it. „from •1814 until Lord Durham,' in 1839, wrote tlm imperial authorities in favor of a federal union of al! the province!?. His Lordship then said it1 would enable all the provinces to co operate for all common purposes; above all,, it would fornij a great and powerful people, possessing tlm means of ^curing good and respon sible government for itself, and . which,-Under the . protection of the British Empire might counterbal* arice the preponderant iufluence-of . the United States on the ‘’'American ContiiieiiL Much, more-might be given from Lord, Durham’s ex'* hauRtive report in,favor of confed eration. But -we will burry on passing over the immediate discus*. sionR prior to the Canadian dele'ga- tion meeting in London in 1866, Front , the then Canada- John ,A. Macdonald, George E. Cat tier, A- T.

Will our town cotem never oease arriving at and publishing incorrect conclusions even when it giyew its premises oorrectly 1 One would naturally conclude that when he : makes an incorrect statement 0^ al leged facts or occurrences that any superstructure be might build there on would be a very ingenious, if deplorable, t of distortions. Where there is naught but error one cannot evolve truth. But last week the ingenious evolver of circum stantial evidence even eclipses him self. He gives correctly enough th< names of the M. P’s who voted for anti against the Beott Act amend ment in the House. Such an un* heard of fact on his part seemed to have exhausted his whole slock of truth. For when he endeavors to formulate comments on facts patent to every reader of the papers, Ins old habit of distortion again masters him, The Era, we say, gives the names of those who voted on the amendment correctly enoughs and among those who voted against tlm amendment were Hon. Mackenzie Bowel), Mieister of Customs, and Hon. Mr. McLellan, Minister of Fisheries arid acting Minister of Finance. And yet, tell -it not in Gath, publish it not beyond the gates of Askalon, our cotem, with a Statement of these Ministers having voted against the amendment- before his eyes, pens-the following:—-.“The members of the Ministry present all voted in favor oj" the amendment.” .For a collosal, frigid halfbreedism commend us to our esteemed town cotem. Ministers. Bo well-and Me* Lellan are among the votes he re cords against the amendment and in the next breatli he says, ‘The mem bers of the ministry present all vr.ted in favor of the -amendment.’ Now, it is well known -that only those present in the House on a division can* have their names recorded. Bowell and McLellan had • their names jecoriled against the amend ment, which is pretty clear proof that they did not vote in favor of’it;. and tlm fact that their names were recorded against it shows to a dead certainty that they were present. Has our cotem gone over to the •‘Brethren” whose helief is said to be that they are nob present' in this" world at all, though tlmir dross mat erial form tna’y he seen of men, the' intangible characteristics such as thought, feeling, conscience and.the, spiritual essence js away and beyond this mundane sphere, roaming in a guileless paradise beyond. • 77it”w0uld indeed appear that the editorial writer of the Era must have, become a convert to. this spiritual ex* altation when lie'says that the two Ministers we have tuentione'd were .not present in the body and did . not, vote, against the. amendment. He must mean that though present in rhe' body. they were nqt really and actually- there. . Is he prepared to "admit that” tlio^e^t wq- good Tory Ministers are such superior heiTtgs to the.49 Grits.w.hoin they voted in company with that it would seem' ?.like polluting, their fair names to. mention or include them with M. C. Cameron and other like fallible mortals? Or is it one of our. friend’,* “jokes” as. in tlie famous Bea«?om case and he meant just exactly the opposite of’what he wrote. ■ "Or does' he" really think with some truth economizers' that there is r^o liarm in tibbing==tliat it is only in getting found out that'the sin consists. wjt is just as ..well that his readers' Bhould fully understaqd that tho facts ..in liis statementi-i arejust the reverse of what those statements would seem to the ordinary mortal to mean. ■—"■—1' i'■!!'

They say that “our mem her” did present their petition. It is true that the records show that a prlition was presented from one “Braithwaite and others of Clinton." Now, there is no resident in Clinton named Braithwaite, and there is a township of Clinton in Ontario, and tfie reader of the proceedings of the H. UHe, acquainted in the town of Clinton, cannot understand how a petition purporting to come from “Braithwaite,” who is not known to reside in the town pf Clinton,“and. otliers/’canbereasonablyheldto come from this to*n.

Could it.be poasiiilp that the miserable bantling^ was disguised by ‘‘Braithwaite and others” in order tlm our Clinton “in.; dignationists" could cover up the ridicule that might resultTrom tfie fewness of the signatures. It is a very pretty case, a very “phunny” one, aB it stands. A petition said-to come from the town of Glintoii, Ont., when Rigned by a person who does not live here,-is as likely to apply to this place as the following,taken from a London, Ont. .paper does, no par-' ties of the names given residing here, nor has anything of the kind opeur* red' here.

S.r,—I think I have., fully1'-estab lished my contention that;the JVew Era editorially falsified the record when it editorially, made me a party to the famous “quick as a flash” epi aodo in the county council. In order to. show that that, paper has been in the habit of inventing calumnies and propagating scandal, I referred to its past history. One incident in which was fthe suppression of a. whale edi tion by its owfi 'supporters; The editor in Iiib last lamentable attempt tQ Btate±the.factaof the case” there- anent has again succeeded in being a failure. He makes a miserable at- tejnpt to justify the conduct of his. paper by smirching the memory of the honored dead. Dead men can not defend themsolv.es. Consequent ly the late Mr. E. Grogg, an employe of the office at the time referred to, is now saddled with opinions and statements published by a paper over wljich he had no control whatever.

I may also say that tlio scaridM was evidently published with the intent to, make the “pairty’’ come down handsomely. It was also a matter of common rumor that.Holmes effected his'.purpose to the extent of receiving a promise from M» C. -Cameron that ho ^ould hot lose any- Clinton, .May’26tli, 1885. • thing by suppressing the scandalous edition.
