FRIDAY, JUNE 10, 1887.
Tan withdrawal of Icon. Edward
Blake from Parliamentary life, for
Pais session at (east, owing to ill•
health has been the general topic of
conversation for some tune. Mr.
Blake has been failing in health for
some time and his physician has or
dered perfect rest of mind and body
as the only cure. Many have been
the kindly expressions tendered the
honorable gentleman from the press,
irrespective of political lines, and
the wish has been often expressed
that his complete recovery will
quickly follow. In the meantime
Hon. Mr. Laurier is taking the
plane of Mr. Blake, assisted by
Messrs. Mills, Cartwright and oth.
ers. It is expected Parliament will
prorogue about the end of next
week.
TaE action of the Dominion Gov
ernment in the matter of the Red
River Valley Railway is awaited
with considerable cariosity. The
people of Manitoba are a unit in
insisting on the construction
of the road. The Norquay Govern-
ment has commenced its construc-
tion, and in a short time the com-
peting line to the C. P. R. will be
an accomplished fact, unless some
decided action is taken to prevent
the building of the line. The author-
ity of the Dominion has been set at
defiance. Disallowance or no disal•
lowance, Manitoba is bound to have
the railroad and secure the benefits
of connection with the American
railway system. Nor is it to be sup.,
posed that the matter will end here.
Manitoba's example is likely to be
contagious. The people of the
Northwest Territories will shortly
begin to ask why they should not
also have the advantage of short
lines to the frontier. If Manitoba
can defy the authority of the Ottawa
Government on this question, other
provinces whose interests run count.
er to those of the Dominion Admin•
ietration or its favorites, will be
encouraged to set the veto power at
defiance and act on their own res.
possibilities. The construction of
the Red River Valley line in the face
of ibe declaration of the Ottawa
Ministry that it was contrary to
their policy, will be a stai:gering
blow to the prestage of Sir Jnbn'a
Administration.—Toronto News.

portunity to steal a ride home, and at-
temptedtto board one of the care, but
slipped and fell. The train passed over
his right arm, mangling it so badly that
it will have to be amputated.

The vein of gold discovered a few days
ago at Mebtawa turns out to be even more
valuable than at first reported, it being
found to extend a great distance, and to
become much richer than when first
notioed. The vein crosses beneath the

0n the north side, in Quebec Province.
An assay, which has been made, shows
the quartz to be exceedingly rich in the
precious metal. Large exploring parties
have started out to search the district for
gold, and all the monied men in the vic-
inity have made investment. The ex-
