The vote taken on Friday night est, on Sir John Thompson's aii.eudment to Mr. McCarthy's bill which had for its object the abol- ishing of the trench Language as ata O::cial Language in the North: west Territories, resulted in the Amendment being carried by a na erity of ninety-nine. For the present this practically disposes of Mr. McCarthy's Jill ; but Mr. Mc- * earthy does not vanish :-- he avers that at a future Sessioa of Perna. meat he will again introduce his bill. It must be admitted by every English speaking citizen that the bill aims at an increasing evil—one which sooner or later must be crushed ; or which if not surmount- ed will surely snake dangerous en- croaches on our civil and religious rights, and assume a mastery dignity, thus jeopardising our Brit- ish liberty. There is not the slight- est doubt that, had the majority of the English-speakiug members of Fatatament vale voted for Mr. T ps )n's Amendment, vented ace ardieg to their conscientious convietions, and in the interests of the ceuntry---and not altogether as to pleasing the French population, whose representatives in Paella. ment have unreasonably argued that the hilt was aimea at their lihertike and language—the result wonit have been contrary and Mr. M,4 Cesihy's Bill declared carried. If the Territories were altogether populated by French,their position might be justifiable, but the census returns Show that the French In the part of the country covered by the bill number a little more than four thousand, and that few of thein THE exports and imports for seven months. ending 3xst Jauuary, 1800, made a good showing, They are figures which the preachers of despair may well ponder over. The total e:roorts for the period named was $66,485,62o, as against $57,412,899 for corresponding per- , iod of last year—an it"crease of $9,o7e,eer. The imports for the same period amounted to ;$65,539,- 433=compared with $59,114,467 for seven months ending January 51st, x889- .an increase of ;$0,424,966. the duties also show a correspond. ing increase, the amount collected. being $I3,5oS,637, as compared with $13,127,864 -.--an increase of $3Su}773• µ1" ` ' t to iy 1" iterate class or able to read their language. Yet for these few the official papers must be printed in French and English, and all official acts must conform to the same usage. The result shows that the French dom- inate Parliament so that both par- ties are afraid of them, and that either will play into their bands for what there may be in it. .Mr. McCarthy, in his battling for the yr people's rights, has been left alone in Parliament, .deserted by those who should have stood honorably at his elbow and assisted him in his efforts. Not so, however, with the peolle ; he has every English- speaking subject in this Dominion -and we might add, on the contin- ent—with him in his movement to erase from the statute books of this Dominion, an Act which as a dis- grace to civilisation. To Mr. Mc- Carthy helonns the hon.or of pro- testing against the foisting on a thoroughly English section of this continent, of a foreign language, foreign customs and foteigta ideas. Tile result in Haldlnand shows that there has been a very rapid revulsion of feeling in favor of Dr. Montague, the Conservative candi- date. The constituency has long been looked upon as a Liberal stronghold, has been repeatedly carried by the Liberals and at the last election elected Mr. Colter, but by a very small majority. The re- turns of Thursdays voting. show that the Liberal maaortty represent- ed by two small figures has been turned to a Conservative majority of 226. Prior to the election the Globe claimed that the main issue was Commercial Union, and that, the result would be evidence as to the tendency of the people along: that line. In view of the result, then, the fad can be considered as being a dead letter, ar-dlthat the loyal people have not missed an op Iiortunjty of showing that they have tittle sympathy* with Liberal belit- tlement of Canada and Canadians.. The Globe dilating on the result, says :- " We shall not follow a cert .M mem- "rrablg„ezapipte„"h , lithiSe the electors of ' -faldimand because, in the exercise of heir undoubted right, they have chosen to elect Dr. Montague instead of Mr. Colter to represent them. Nor can we say that it seems probable that so large and decisive a majority as the Conser- vative candidate has obtained is ,due to bribery." country and leavening public opinion, and not on lines favorable to the men who entered into the conspiracy to gain power by inaug- urating a war of races and of creeds ; and now, finding that their chick ens like curses are corning home to roost they hypocritically cry for peace and harmony among the peo- ple they taught and encouragdd to fly at each other's throats. f:P.&RmER ,.EROS. The following picture of Dakota is drawn by the Chicago Herald, and Amin not be said that the artist is unduly pre- judiced against the State :—"Dakota is the only absolutely bankruptand pauper State on the neap. Its very indigence would have been a sufficient reason for continuing its territorial status. But universal and shameless pauperism is a positive ornament and attraction conn; pared with the social depravity of the North, Dakota people. Within the first year of its existence, the new State has displayed all the moral recklessness and. shatuelessness that characterized the mining camps of California in the '00s.' The Canadian North-west offers the reverse of this picture. The report of the 3nister of Rail- ways, contains in its opening paragraph an interesting statement of certain general facts. coucernino Canadian rail- ways, for the year ending on June 30th, 1888, as follows :—Number of railways 70 ; number of miles of railway cent. plated 12,701, of which 11,664 were laid with steel rails ; there were 12,162 miles of railway in actual operation. The paid up capital amounted to $727, 180,448,75, The gross earnings of all these railways amounted to $42,159,152.- 05. and their working expenses to $30,- 652,046.O3, leaving the amount of the net earnings $11.507,100.112. The additions made to the Interculonial railway during the year reached a total costo( $056,333. The gross oxpeadi- tureof the road for the year was S3,153,- 928.ti9 ; the earnings were $2,805,3 04,- 35. The earnings show a falling of from last year of $19,419. SENATOR McInnes, of British Columbia, has introduced a bill in- to the Senate which enacts as follows—"That the Gaelic language being the mother tongue of a large number of Her Majesty's subjects in this Dominion, there - ,s e Gaelic Language be an oiilclaithlanguage in this Dominion ; that the "'members of both the Senate and ',Commons and the various Legislathve Assemblers, be allowed to deliver their speeches in said tongue ; and further that all legal documents issued be print- ed in Gaelic for the benefit of that class of Her Majesty's subjects in this Dominion " Senator•Mclnnes says he is a Scotchman, and does not see why as a Scotchman, he has not the right of .having the language of his native country made an official language in Cana- da. There are Germans agitating in the same direction, and just why these nationalities are not given the same scope as the French, seems— irithe face of it -unfair.

Ts the Editor of The B:cetcr Times. Dear Strs,—Allow me to reply to a state.' meat made in your paper Jan 3011 ` and which was exaggerated to great 'extent. I a .ave been in Dakota the pas!, three years, and I think I should know .,no condition at the country. I have tra,¢ellod through the greater part of noel;}tern Dakota and I think it is one of tine prettiest states I oyez saw. I worke;l with farmers in Dakota the Fast season, and found that where merchants In T(;at7.'1o, Ont., nine years ago had failed he=', prospered in Dakota. In the year I"`vti2, many of them lauded in Grand 'l.otkes without a dollar and now they are ttie owners.af seventeen hundred acres of land in Red River Valley in Grand Forks. County and are today worth fifty thousand dollars. Last season they harvested over fourteen thousand baskets of -wheat and thirty-five hundred bushels of oats, and barley twenty -'five hundred huslat )s. This does not look as if the people in Dakota aro in starvation. There are some localities which during the past season .trcperienced drouth but Dakota is able within her own granaries to furnish aid to all the needy,and has already -sent oars of flour to the eastern states to help those who met with disasters more serious than their own. Ind as for the winters in Dakota I would eocner live there thsnan Ontario the climate is much healthier as it is not so changeable. The mureary ranges from 15 to 20 /below Zero, but bright.and still with scarcely snow enough for sleighing, and as for blizzards there has not been any to speak of. We have as good accommodation for our stock as could be desired and plenty ie feed them on. A few figures showing the earoductiou of the entire state would not ,be out of place. Dakota has raised the past year forty-two million bushels of wheat, twenty. six million bushels of corn, eighteen million bushels of oats ; and she has produced as high es sixty million bushels of wheat in one 3 ear. >ube has made more progress in the same time than any other state in the Uuion. Tu•ehnrches,schoolsand.agrieultu e she has no egnal according to age. The twin cities tit. Paul and Minneapolis have been built through the importation of merchandise and the asportation of grain by Dakota, and where will you find two other cities that have iucreased in population and wealth so fast and steady. Eight years ago 40,000 souls each, now 200;000 and 250,000, respectively. And as for equip- ment we are far ahead of Manitoba as each man in Dakota.handles four horses on our gang -plows. Each four -horse plow aoloughs six acres a day, and does excellent work at a depth of 4 to .5 inches. In Manitoba each man handles two horses and only ploughs from 2 to 211 acres earn day. New of each man in Manitoba would bandle four horses ,and use gangplows it would be a gaeat ad- vantage to the fanners, as wages for lured men in the western parts are very high. The average wage dor monthly men for ,the season is $28 a month and for threeliing hands wages from 82 to 2;50 a day are paid. Therefore you eau see that it is expensive farming in these western countries, now dot Dakote we attach four horses to eaeih biaider which is six and seven foot eut, and oar average each day is twenty acres, while in Manitoba their binders are 5 and 5} foot out to which they attach three horses and their ,average is from ten to twelve acres each day, so that the Dakota farmer just cuts about twice as mach as the Manitaba farmer. I,think this is agreat advantage to the Dakota farmer to have implimente that require as little hired kelp as possible4 It costs the Dakota farmer 12 cents per bushel to freight their wheat 350 miles. We have to pay excessive freights on all we consume and still we can boast of more comforts at home and can afford better aocommodation abroad than the people of auy other agricultural state in the union. Give us American Goyernmeut (I mean United States) but give us North Dakota to live in where poverty is unkuowr Thank• ing you for space in your valuable paper. I remain yours truly, JAs WESTLAKIr.

RING, THERE can be no doubt that the recent agitation which eventuated in the formation of the New Party veld the Equal Right party and the late agitation in Parliament, with its acrirronlous debates 'and inflammatory appeals to racial .and religious prejulices, can be clearly traced to the stand taken on the Riel question; when the leading -politicians of the Province of Quebec asserted the doctrine that a Frenchman, accused of clime against English law, was above the.: law, and superior to a man of any other nationality. The Liberal party of Canada is entirely respon- sible for the present situation. Thinking that it:saw a chance .of driving Sir J D Gov- ernment Macdooald's s G � ern'nient from power by raising a race and revenge cry in the Prov- ince of Quebec over the hanging of the Rebel leader,aa unholy alliance was formed between the Liberals of Ontario and the Quebec Rouges, and as many of the Conservatives of that Pnovince as could be influenced by un:rorthy appeals to their na- tional prejudices and to their re- ligioue bigotry, having only one object in view—to secure possession of the Government at Ottawa. The French were promised .all they wanted. The Province of Quebec was agitated from the centre to the circumference, the smuldering em- bers of religious intollerance and race prejudices were fanned into a dangerous flame and kept at red heat until after the election. The country sustained the Government ; but the unholy alliance found that the evil spirit which had been called. into existence could not be controll- ed. Its arrogance and aggressi're- ness becoming dangerous to the Minard's Liniment Cures Distemper.
