Mr. D. D. Hay's Manifesto.
The Listowel Banner of last week
contains a long letter from. Mr. D.
D. Hay, Reel e of ListoweVaddress-
ed' to Hon. Edward Blake, Presi-
dent of the Council of Ontario, on
the subject of the Government Sab-
i
sidy to the Toronto, Grey and Bruce
and the Wellington Rail ways. Mit
Hay talks to the big man of the
"big County Council," like a fath-
er. In the first place, be gives a

as prolific of good. results as have
those of the Spectator, notwithstand..7
ing the airs it assumes. Before the
Southern Extension scheme wai ever
Mooted, we strongly advobated an
enterprise which would as efictually
cat off " Ainleyville frora Seaforth;
as that of which our contemporary
would like now to assume. the cham-
pionship. We felt then, and, we
feel now, that the section of country
to be benefited by this road, was in
need of Railway facilities. We also
felt that s'ach facilities would vastly
detailed -history of the tsve_schemes,,
so 'far as North. Huron andLPerth are
concerned, fora their first inception
tolhe present time. He iben takes
up the question of competitiou, and
argues that while railway -competi-
tion is necessary: and desirable, it is
not the first want of e new country.
On this subject .Mr. Hay remarks :.
- "The 6rst'requisite is shipping facili,
ties; and in the direction of . securing
that, we are entitled to your help. As
wealth and population increase, competi-
tion may become a necessity, and when
that day arrives the want .Will doubtless
be provided, for. We don't, on principle,
object te Government aid being applied
in this direction, if 'doneconsistently with„
public interests; but we do object tosee
specially favoi•ed new districts ef the
country placed all at once in this .envi-
able position, whilst we, whiz, have so
liberally,helped ourselves. are -to be left
"out in the cold." While proposing to
• do so mach for the NN est in the name ; of
competition, don't forget that our claims
for ship ing facilities are far ,strenger
than theirs for competition; and while
enabling the one section to fare sumptu-
ously in the way of both Broad and
1 Narrow-guage outlets for their teeming
1 products, don't offer as a stone When we
orilaeask for bread."
Mr. Ha,y Is a gentleman of ac-
• knowietlged 0,bi1i„pywh6 thoroughly
understands thd subject upon whith
be writes, and the Letter referred to
does him no . dieeredit. He arguee
the question calmly and considerate-
ly, and -alth-Ougle we cannot agree
with him in all his conclusions, we.
must confess that he cloes make out
- an exceedingly' strong' case in favor -
of the justice of sabsidizing the
Southern Extensioti of the Welling-
ton road. \*V e trust, thereto -re, that
his remarks may receive front the
Governmeat that earnest and im-
partial coneideration fo ^ which, they
.
are justly entitled.
Judging Others by k,limself.
A frienel hasfrhanded us a copy Of
the Hamilton Spectator, containing
the following xeference to our re-
marks on the Order in CoUncil ap
portioning Government aid to the
, Wellington and Totonto, Railways.
After Copying th4 portion of out re-
marks admitting thatthe principle
upon whieh the,aid hadibeentdistri-
bitted by the Government was. jut ' the turned nervous and colutnenced
and eqUitable, our contereperary to sob and weep, and protest her in-
nOcence:
she lefte t
iinprove.and increase• the resources
of the country, and as -such we sup-
ported theme? We believe that there
is worn enough for both Seaforth
and Ainleyville to grow and flourish,
and that as the, country through
which these roads pass improves and
enriches, both these places will reap
the benefit. ,We trust the day may
never come that•we shall be bound
down to the miserable, narrow and
selfish views which our contempo-
rary seems to hold upon these ques-
dons. If the Spectator, in its selfish -
flees, cannot see any good in any-
thing diet does not directly draw
grist to the ,Ilarnilton mill, that is
no just reason whyothers should be
equally selfish.
Too Generous by Half.
We learn from the London papers
that the railway delegation to Lon'
don from the Central Route,'
which We last week referred to, gave
a guarantee to the Directors of the
road, that if 'that route .be adhered to,
bonuses to the amount of $100,000
woald be granted, in addition to
those -which hare already been vot-
ed. We knew that our friends on
the 'Central Route were waxing
desperate, but we were scarcely pre-
pared to believe that their despera-
tion would lead them to make such
reckless promises,—promises which
every sensible person conversant
with their position.knows well they
can never fulfil. .Bonuses to the
amount of $43,000, have already
been granted by Municipalities be-
tween Kippen and Wingham, and
to say that an additional $100,000
can be procured from these-- munici-
palities is simply absurd. Such a
promise could, therefore, only have
been made with a view to • mislead.
Indeed, we doubt Irma if rhore than
half the amount stated could be
(tbtaitied. Our friends have badly
over -reached themselves this time,
as the result Will certanly prove,
sliould opportunity offer.

consi erable time,. whereas if the
print rs were left to subsiet on' their
own iFesources during the period of

compel them to succumb. We can-
not think that their, case is one
deserying of very iuuch sympathy, as
their, employers cheerfully acceded
to them in the first .place all that
could reasonably be expected. -

The Position of the Reformers of
Phoebe Campbell Sentenced to
be Hanged.
• The trial of Phcebe 'Campbell corn-
mencerfon Monday of last week, and
ended on Saterday. Cont ry to
general expectation, tile evidence,
although circumstantial, was of so
crushing arid definite a character,
that the jury, after about an hour's
consideration'rendered a verdict of
guilty. The Judge then pronounc-
ed the sentence of death upon the
prisoner, and ordered that the ex-
ecution take place on the 20th of
June. Throughout the whole trial,
the prisbuer maintained a stolid and
indifferent antearatice, and seemed
not to be in the least affeeted by the*.

When the sentence of death was
pronounced, her mother who was
standing near the (lock, swooned and
fell to the floor. Mrs. Campbell per-

passed upon her will not be carried
out. A person to whom she had a

Honorable Gentlemen of the Senate,

COMM0718 :
[After referring to the illness and
recovery of the Prince of Wales, His
Excellency proceeded.]
Your meeting has itself been post-
poned later in the season than usual,
upon considerations of Imperial as
well as Colonial interests, and at
the iistance of Her Majesty's Gov-
ernment. The youngeProvince of
Manitoba was last September threat-
ened with an invasion of lawless
persons from , the 'United States;
prompt measureswere adopted by
the local authorities, and were at-
tended with the best results. In
order to reassure the people of the
Pro-vince and to pievent a recur-
rence of the outrage, I ordered 200
militia men to be sent to Fort Garry.
Notwithstanding the inclement
season of the year, the troops • sur-
mounted the difficulties of the
march, with energy and success, thus
• proving not only their own discip-
line and enelurance; but also the
value of the route through our own
territory. •Thonms Greenway, lEisq., the Nominee

impel tent question.
,A conference was held at Ottawa
in September on fhe'_subject of immi-
e
bratibn at which the Government of
-
- the ,Dominion As well as that of I
every Province was welt represented.
A scheme for joint and separate
action Was provisionally arranged, to
which I invite your attention.
do not doubt that you will be in-
clined to make ample provision for
the encouragement of immigration
with the maintenance and extension
of which the development of the
vast natural resources Of Canada is
so vitally interwoven.
Since last session the union of
British Columbia with Canada has
been happily consummated, and her
representatives have taken part in
your deliberations. In order to
open up and settle the fertile terri-
tory of the North-West, and to liuk.
British Coln in bia. therewith, it will
be necessary for you to make pro-
vision forthe construction'of a rail-
wty to thesPacific ocean, in .con-
eformity with the terms of Her Ma-
jesty's Order in Council, uniting
British Col e Lie with the Do min-
• ion. .An appropriatian was made in
the last session for the preliminary
survey of the route for thig railway.
The work has been diligently prose-
cuted, an4 a report of the progress
achieved will be laid .before you.
You will, I trust, concur with me
in thinking, that the long contem-
plated improvement and extension
of our system of canals ought to be
rigorously prosecuted. The rapid
increase in the trade of Canada. and
the importance of Competing for and
accomodating the commerce of the
Great West, render it necessary that
the • means of transport by water
should oe'cheapened and facilitated.
I have to request your serious con-
sideration of this subject, and in con-
nexion with it, the expediency of
providing a direct water commtmi-
cation betw een the Gulf hoatvSirigS. Law-
rence and the Bay of Fundy.

To him who is willme to take an
almost immediate reevai7d int the in-
creased beauty of his surroundings,
or a more remote one in their money
value, there is nothing that pays bet-
ter than planting shade trees. • Ten.
dollars expended in digging holes
a rod apart on either side the road and
planting in them thrifty saphngs
froth the woods will -show returns
more than fifty -fold before twenty
years are past; and what more pro-
fitable investment can the farmer
make of a little time Or money ?
• In the choice of trees, thosethould
be selected that are fouled to flourish
naturally in the locality. The sugaat
maple is one of the fineet in appear-
ance, grows,rapidly, and has, when ,
arrived at any -considerable size, a
neeful purpoee for sugar melting.
But with it should be placed at in-
teivals a few soft maples to relieve
the uniformity of foliage and branch -

• ORANGE t AND CiRERIC,---We really
ought net to pass without notice an
ex hibition of com m endabi e liberality
.made by the Pilot,,a Roman Catholic
newspaper. Upon last SL Patrick's
Day, the outer walls of the office of
the Pilot were dressed in both gi-een
and mange colors, and the last num-
ber of the journal says: "Let us kill
our old bad feeling, and wrap its
corpse in a Green and Orange
shroud, and bury it out of sight for-
ever." This, whatever may be
thought of it as a metaphor, is un- t
commonly good advice. We will not
ask -what Irishmen united might
have accomplished for their unhappy'
land, .but wer will look forward to
what they ay accomplish with re-
viving hope. eV. Y. Tribune.
