SEAFORTH, FRIDAY, July 2€3 1882.
The Little -Big Preraier and the
Big -Little Premier.
Premier Norquay, of Manitsiba,seems
to be a man very much after the Dom-
inion Premier's own heart. True, he
lacks in some measure the shrewdness
and firmness of character of that gentle-
man, bat he is equally unsornpurons
and regardlese of principle or policticat
consistency, whileheseerds to possess
irt a large degree the genial qualities
and personal magnetism of hi a proto-
type, which attracts .to and keeps
around him a host of followers Who will
swallow any dose, no matter liciw nau-
eons, which he sees fit to adininister
to them. And with the other points of
similarity, the latter evinces an equal
desire with the former to cling to office
under any and all circumstances. After
oppoaing for yeani most strennoltisly and
bitterly the confederation of .0ae pro-
vinces and the giving to each the power
to control its own local affairs, the
present Dominion Premier at the last
moment, and when he found himself
forced to abandon his cherished pHn-
ciples or remain in the cold shades of
opposition, chose the former, and
striking hands with his life- long op-
ponents, he at one gulp swallowed his
objections to constitutional changes and
lent his whole energy to the establish-
•ing of a Gonfederacy. After being for
years a strenuous advocate of a revenue
tariff, and opposing protection in every
form, he sees a chance of gaining a
party victory by advocating what he
had for nearly a lifetime opposed, and
he again abandons his principles for
powet and becomes a strong pretectiou
advocate, and actually champions the
cause he formerly opposed. By hum-
bugging the people in this way he has
adroitly succeeded in keeping himself
and his party in power ever since the
Dominion was formed, with the excep-
tion of one brief parliamentary term.
While, therefore, we cannot commend
his honesty, we must admire his in-
,
gennity, and as the people seem to like
being fooled we hope they will get
enough of it, as they are like15 to, before
-very long. Wishing to profit by I obser-
vance Mr. Norquay seems determined
to take a leaf from Sir John A. Mac -
Donald's book. At the last session of
the Manitoba Legislature, hela only a
few weeks ago, the Governnaent, of
which Mr. Norquay is chief, acknow-
ledged the right of the -Dominion
Government to veto at will the legisla-
tion of the Provincial Parliaments. In
a long and rather able speech the Pre-
mier expressed himself quite satisfied,
more than satisfied in fact,with the man-
ner in which Manitoba was being treat-
ed by the Dominion Government. He
was quite satisfied that the • measures
inaugurated by hiaown Government and
passed by his own Legislature, and
which they considered in the interests
of their own province, should be quiet-
ly set aside hy the central authority,
ne matter whether or not such legisla-
tion was a.dmitteclly within the scope
and power of the Legislature to pass;
he was quite willing that for the benefit
of a mighty and powerful private cor-
poration, the Dominion Government
should rivet the shackles of monopoly
upon the Province of which he was the
sworn guardian, and indeed he seemed
to think, or at least professed. to believe
that the more heavily the Province
were manacled in this respect the better
for it, and the more contented, happy
and prosperous would the country
become. He was quite sasisfied with
the land policy also, and was evidently
happy in the thought that the fertile
plains were being divided up between
so called colonization companies and
speculative English Lords, ranch to
theo detriment and disgust of the
poor, but vastly more honest set-
tler. All this, according to Mr.
}Torquay then, was just and right and
in accordance with the beat interests of
his dearly beloved and native country.
Now, however, a mighty change seems
to have come over the spirit of his
dreams. The recent elections in Mani-
toba have opened his eyes, and seem-
ingly changed his mind. He now sees
that the people do not appreciate being
bound hand and foot for the special
benefit of a few American and Canadian
railway gobblers and sharks, and that p
they caunot see any fun in having the ot
best of their lands handed over to pi
wealthy capitalists and land owners,
that they may become more wealthy, p
while the poor pioneer and his family an
are forced to go unfed and uneducated. an
Nr. Norquay is not slow to "take in" pe
,
the situation. A provincial eleotion is
shortly inevitable, and a number of by-
elections must take place at once. It is
necessary for him to set his sails so as
to catch the popular breeze, and he
puts his organtowork to, propound a
policy for his government which is
diametrically opposed to that of a few
weeks ago. He is now going to insist
upon provincial rights being kept in-
violate; he is opposed to railway mono
poly, and he sees nothing. but rnin to
his people if the present land _pellet, is
parsued ; and if himself and his col-
-leagues are continued in office- he will
set all these matters right, even if in
doing so he has to fight his dear friends
at Ottawa inch by inch. .It remains to .
to be seen whether or not the people of
Manitoba will, place faith in this sudden
conversion. If they are wise they will
have nothing more to .do with this
political' weather •cook. He is not to be
trusted. He is completely and entirely
under the control of his superior at Ot
tawa. The people have recently kick-
ed most vigorously against this author-
ity, and they should show their heels
still more unmistakably when this pliant
tool comes before them asking approval
of his tortuous and inconsistent course.
If they permit themselves to be -delud-
ed by bis winning ways, as the people
of the Dominion have too frequently
been, they will deserve to suffer as we
in Canada will yet have to do for our
folly.
But there is another plank in Mr.
Norquay's platform in which we in On-
tario ere a good deal more interested
than venere in any of those to which
we have alluded. He proposes that his
hovernment will exert themselves to
ecure, and, shall not rest satisfied until
hey obtain, an extension of their pres-
nt Provincial BoUnda ies. He wants
he Province extend d eastward and
estward, so it willha e an outlet on
udson's Bay on the cne side, and on
ake Superior on the cfther. He pro-
esses to believe that it is necessary in
he interests of the Province -to have a
ater out -let on each side of it. But
ollowing up this line of argument he
hould have the boundaries of his Pro-
nce extended so as to include the
• hole of Ontario and Quebec, when he
ould have an outlet at the sea board.
f an outlet at the head of lake naviga-
on is absolutely necessary, one at the
cean must be even more so. No per -
on except the people of Manitoba
ti emselves can. have any objection to
r. Norquay extending the boundaries
f his Province westward as far as he
ooses, as it is all unorganized ter -
tory, but when he talks about coming
e Edward he wants to interfere with
hat belongs to his neighbor. The ter -
✓ tory which he proposes -to scoop in on
t e east, belongs to this Province. The
°minion, as such, never had any right
t it, and consequently cannot give to
anitoba or any other province a tight
t ey do not possess. Ontario by the
ederal oomRact, is entitled to every
f ot of land that formerly belonged to
id Western Canada. The extent of
t is territory has been already decided,
a d the boundary fixed by a properly
c nstituted and legal authority, and if
anitoba's boundary be extended east -
and it will encroach upon Ontario. To
a y such encroachment the peeple of
ntario will never subrait unless forced
i to submission by superior strength
ad power. This, we are satisfied, the
p ople of Manitoba do not want to do,
n matter what position their Premier
ay be foolish enough to assume. Three
fa tirthe of the people of that Province
e from Ontario. It is, in fact, their
n tive land, and we are well assured
t at they would not, even did they pos-
s ss the power, force Ontario to yield up
t them that which clearly belongs to
h rsalf. We have no doubt, however,
t at in order to punish Ontario, for still
p rsisting, against his wishes, to continue
hr confidence in "that little tyrant,
owat," as he is pleased to term him, the
ominion Premier will do what he can
t injure and humble us. Indeed, he
h s already declared as much in his
s eeches during the late election cam-
p ign. Norquay is simply a tool of his,
a d will do his bidding at all times. In
f ct he has not the -courage nor the
stamina to withstand the superior will
his master. If, therefore, the people
Manitoba Wish to rid themselves of
eir oppressive and galling shackles and
event theraselves being embroiled in
seenaly quarrels and adisturbauces
th their nearest neighbor and best
end, they will give the big -little pre-
er what is vulgarly -termed the
rand bounce" on the first opportunity
w ich offers.

be succeeded by Mr. Mosseau, present
Minister of Justice at Ottawa. But
this gentleman is evidently shaky
about the change, and no doubt pre-

Pr. Wild's Opinion of the
! ' Egyptian War.
Most of our readers have heard and
read of Rev. Dr. Wild, the somewhat
eccentric, but very clever pastor of
Bond Street Church, - Toronto. His
church is nsualiy crowded, but on Sun-
day evening last, notwithstanding the
intense heat and oppressiveness of the
atmosphere, it was •completely cram-
med. p was scarcely probable that a
subject so congenial to the preacher,and
one which is ettra.oting so much atten-
tion at the present time, would be al-
lowed to pass unnoticed, and the Doc-
tor having announced his intention 1 of
giving his views upon the Egyptian
War on: this particular evening, the im-
mense congregation above alluded- to
was the result. Before commencing his
sermon Dr. Wild, in answer to a cor-
respondent, dwelt upon another subject
which is at present causing consider-
able interest and diecussion, viz.: The
propriety of usieg the Bible as a: text
book in the public schools. He ex-
pressed Iiiraself as strongly in favor of
the Bible being used in the school room,
and announced that on the next Sun-
day evening the subject of his text
would be "The Workingman's Sabbath,
how he should spend it for rest and
recreation:" He then proceeded with
his promised discourse, of which the
following are the main points: ,
I•
He took as his text the 22nd, verse of
the 19th Chapter of Isaiah, "nd the
Lord shell smite Egypt, He sh 11 mite
it and heal it, and they shafl return
to Him." On Sunday evening; May 28,
1882, Dr. Wild claimed thatl he had
pointed out what the future of Egypt
would be, contrary to what 'political
thinkers and writere held. He had
said thaL there would be awar,and that
England
WOULD GAIN POSSESSION ()F EGYPT
as a step towards getting control of
Palestine. This seemed most unlikely.
The telegram which conveyed the order
to open fire was flashed from London to
Alexandria by Gladstone, the determin-
ed opponent of war policy whenever its
avoidance was possible. In his cabinet
was another man of peace, John Bright.
But God always used the'very men who
have spoken against a thing, to work at
that very thing. Peter was a thorough
opponent of admitting the Gentiles to
the Christian Church. So pod employ-
ed him to open the door to Gentile
believers. Gladstone had begun the
war which would _
LEAD an HIS DISMISSAL FROM OFFICE,
Gladstone, the advocate for peace, so
that he could not consistently oppose
another ministry who should carry on
the war with vigor. They pould say to
him "you began it yourself," A new
administration would come into power
and carry on the war with vigor. A
Lumber of the powers were interested
in the Egyptian question, France es-
pecially. end Russia and Turkey.
BUT ENGLAND WOULD CARRY ON THE WAR
ALONE
for it was God's purpese that she should
smite Egypt, for it was his - purpose to
itl Egypt, and that could only be done
b , a Christian country. France Was an
infidel country; she was fast being car-
t e n
ried u the winds of vanity to destruc-
tio . France intended to join England
in wee.; but wheGarai:lett& in the
French parliament asked the minister
of witr why the French commander
did not obey orders p,nd jein in the
bombardment ,
,
THE MINISTER OF WAR COULD GIVE NO
REPLY. '
The real reason was that it was not
God's purpose that an infidel power
should conquor Egypt. Before Eng-
land could secure Palestine she must
gain poeession of Egypt. To gain
Egypt was a French idea, bequeathed
them by the great Napoleon, who had
not been sucenssful in carrying it out,
but who left it as a legacy to France.
He said: "You must conquOr Egypt.
This will give you Syeia and Palestine.
Thia will give you Turkey, and you Will
posses
CONSTANTiNOPLE, THE CAPITAL OF THE
WORLD."
Engle/id would in four years gain
Egy, pt as a subject province, and it
wouldbeeome Christian. Then wciuld
come a great religions war, ending in
the battle of Armageddon. In it 13
countries would take part, including
France, Turkey and Russia. These
would fight against England, who was
always spoken of in the bible as Israel.
These political predictions he was able
to make by a study of prophecy. Not
even the newspaper men could find out
these things, although
NAWSPAPER MEN THOUGHT THEMSELVES
SHARP.
Events were moving rapidly. This
great war was begun. England would
succeed, and succeed single handed.
THE CONSERVATIVES Of South Perth
have lodged a protest againstathe return
of Mr. James Trow, M. P., and have
niade the neceesary : deposit of $1,000.
The grounds of the protest are bribery
and corrupt practises, both by himself
and agente, and undue interference on
the part of the Provincial Government.
Whateverthe protestante may make
out of the first two charges, we do not
see what possible hope the last can
afford them. However, the election
courts will likely reveal this among
other things. We understand that Mr
Trow affirms most positively that he is
personally !guiltless, but he cannot of
course spin& for his agents. We have

feeble and inert in the defence of pub-
lic morality than the opinion of America
since the dynamite school became

CAPTURED AT LAST.—The assassin of
Lord Frederick Cavendish, in Dublin a

He shipped on the 8th of May under
the -name of O'Brien on the British
barque Gladstone from Swensea to
Tucacas. He says he left Dublin on
the night of the 6th of May by steamer
to Swansea. The names of three of
his accomplices and other details of the
murders were taken by deposition be-
fore the British consul. He says that
he was employed by Mr. O'Connor and
other influential persous. Parties who
have seen the man give credence to his
confession. In appearance the raan is
tall and slender. He says the price of
the deed was twenty pounds to each of
the assassins. He said that twenty
pounds was worth more tan Irishman
than an Englishhaan's life. It is be-
lieved that the Venezuelan Government
will surrender him, although there is
no extradition treaty. The British
Foreign Office has been telegraphically
communicated with.
THE EG-YPTIAN WAR..
FRIDAY.
Having determined upon taking the
restoration of order in Egypt upon her-
self, England's preparations are being
hurried forward with feverish haste. A
Cabinet Council was hurriedly sum-
moned yesterday, when it is tie:Slight
final arrangements were made for mili-
tary operations on a large scale. It
has been definitely decided that Sir
Garnet Wolseley will command an ex-
pedition of 20,000 men. Several Irish
militia regiments have volunteered for
service in Egypt, and the feeling at
London clubs is very warlike. Colonel
Laurie has also offered to raise a regi-
ment in Nova Scotia for service in
Egypt. A reconnoitring party has dia.
covered that Arabi has fortified himself
at Aboukir and cut and diverted. tbe
fresh water canal which supplies Alex-
andria. Although there is a sufficient
supply to last for ten days, the popula-
tion, taking the alarm, are fleeing before
a water famine commences. Advices
from Cairo report a critical state of
affairs, and an outbreak of fanaticism
may be expected at any moment. The
Europeans at Port Said are also in a
perilous position, and Admiral Sey-
mour has found it necessary to despatch
a force for their protection.
SATURDAY.
Rumours from the interior of Egypt
that a general European massacre has
commenced has caused great alarm and
uneasiness, and will, doubtless, serve to
hasten the British preparations to sub-
due Arabi and his troops. The ob-
struction in the fresh water canal has
caused the flooding of the surrounding
country. A British force will advance
to -day and endeavor to blow up the
obstruction. The Chamber of Notables,
at a meeting at Cairo, decreed the depo-
sition of the Khedive as a traitor, and
proclaimed war against England. All
good Moslems are °ailed upon to join
Arabi's standard. The Commander -in -
Chief, Sir Garnet Wolseley, and mem-
bers of the Cabioet were in consulta-
tion yesterday making final prepara-
tions. The Government will ask for a
war credit, which the Conservatives
will not oppose. News comes from the
interior that in the villages all Euro-
peans ere being brutally murdered, even
the natives who acted as their servants
being butchered. From the outskirts
of Cairo are reported numerous massa-
cres of Europeans which have -been
going on ever since Monday. At Golub
a whole family was taken from th.e
train, put under the wheels, and so cut
or crushed to pieces. All the employees
of the Cadastral survey at Tantah have
been killed, after being subjected in
many cases to the most brutal outrages
and torture. Those killed at Tantah
include two English engineers named
Crowther and McKellar. • The Sheik
and the Governor tried to save them,
but were unable to do so.
• Admiral Seymour, in his despatch to
the Admiralty giving his account of the
bombardment of Alexandria, save that
the Egyptians fought with determined
•
bravery, firing until they must • ave
been decimated.
The situation of Alexandria rep, ding
the water supply is becoming al ing.
There has been a faU of two inches in
the Mahmoudie Canal, and unless mare
troops arrive soon to enable Sir Archi-
bald Alison to drive Arabi Pasha rom
the pumping stations, the conseqn noes
will be terrible. It is not likely Ithab
' it will be attempted just at once, as it
cannot be effected without artilleryi. A
battery is on the way from Malta 4 but
RS it has been shipped without h rses,
which cannot be obtained,here, tbe ns
will be useless till the arrival o the
mules which are en route from P An-
gel. The city is waking up to business
again- The markets and, the B4arse
are being re-opeaed and refugees are
returning to the city. They are not
wanted, however, as water is to scarce.
The protection of the Suez Cana will
probably be assigned to Eng and,
France, and Italy. This is acoo ding
to the wishes of England, and the pro-
tection, which will, of course, be ra ter-
ial, not merely moral, will be conti tied
till order is re-established in Egypt
Order will apparently not be re-estab-
lished till Arabi Pasha is disposed of.
His influence has been produotiva of
fresh massacres, and his acts have
plunged the country into what is h rdly
leas than total anarchy. The Kb dive
is still apparently enacting the part of a
mere cypher, though according tol the
despatches Arabi's having denou ced
him as a traitor to Egypt and as one
who favors the English in preferen e to
his own countrymen ought to ave
shown hilt by this time that the an
has thoroughly broken with him. T ere
are those, however, who still t ink
Arabi and the Viceroy understand ach
other and that there is no enmity be-
tween them.
• iu sepia.
The confidence in himself _et ich
Arabi Pasha possesees is really won er-
ful. He has presented an ultirea, um
to the Sultan, threatening him ith
deposition and the appointment f a
member of a rival race as Caliph of the
Moslems if Turkish troops intervene in
Egypt. The Khedive has yielded to the
pressure brought to bear by Admiral
Seymour, and proclaimed Arabi a rebel,
deposed him from office,, and summon-
ed the army to the defence of their
Sovereign, at the same time assuring
them that English and French inter-
vention is merely to restore order. ! In
reply to this proclamation Arabi has
formed a Ministry at Cairo, and is
rapidly recruiting his forces. An ad-
vance was made by a small force of
• British on Saturday, and a portion of
Arabi's line, which afforded him a
means of advance on Alexandria, bldwn
up. He is now able to advance only at
one point and that opposite the eta:ing-
est portion of the defence!, of the 4ty.
Reports from the interior convey news
of horrible atrocities committed upon
Europeans and Copts, as the native
. Chiistians are called. At Port SPed
measures have been taken for the Pro-
tection of the Europeans there. ¶Ihe
.water supply in the Mahmoudie Ca al
is carefully husbanded, and, sup le-
mented by the condensers of the flet,
will probably hold out for a consi er-
able period. A spy and messenger of
Arabi has been captured on a stea,Mer
from Constantinople and important
documents secured. He has confessed
and given much useful information.
The organization of the British' expedi-
tion is being hurried forward, hut
offensive operations will not probably be
commenced for three weeks.
TUESDAY.
The British.troops have had anot er
brush with the Arabi, their object be ng
to occupy Ramleh, which they sucee d -
ed in doing without the loss of any
men. Arabi's positicin at Kaffr-el-
Dwar is now untenable, being coin -
mended by British guns. In the Hotise
of Commo s yesterday Mr. Gladstdne
moved for r a vote of credit to defray the
expenses qf the British expedition. lie •
defended the action of his Cabinet, and
pointed out the necessity which existed
for restoring order iir Egypt, and maiin-
taining the neutrality of the Suez
Canal. In the lad named operatien
be is in complete unison with Frieace
which supplies a force of 6,000 marinas
for the protection of the canal. Furthitr
than this, however, the French Cabinet
will not participate in the operations.
It is known, that two of the Khedive's
Ministers are in constant cm:atm:mice-
tion with Arabi, and their depositiOn
and arrest has been recommended hy
Admiral Seymour. Her Majesty has
sanctioned the appointmentsof the staiff
of the British expedition. The Duke Of
Connaught will command the House --
hold Brigade.
THE FEELING OF THE POWRES.—The
feeling of the powers is uneasy. Russia
finding that she is at a discount, is dis.
posed to claim that England shall n t
go ahead too fast, but shall have a
agreement with the Other Powers as to
how and when she shall act. RU6Sia,
claims that England has no right -to
assume that the port ha e really, declin-
ed to interfere actively. Germany also
k holding back, and insinuates that as
Ehgland is practically Egypt's anzerieu
the maintenance algae former state of
• things is impossible. Prince Bismarck,
hints that Great Britain has yet to give
an account of her action in Egypt. The
porte has also changed front and iscclis-,
posed to whine. England's unexpect-
ed attitude has taken the Sultan by
surprise, and he would now like to see
the other Powers acting as mediatore,
and keeping England back from ati
armed intervention, till negotiations
have been tried. The Government,
however, are determined upon ordering
their troops to Egypt, and are taking
vigorous steps to put down Arabi Bey,
the time for delay being past. Some 0/
the troops will be rendezvoused at Cy-
prus, but the majority will , proceed
straight to the seat of war. The embark-
ation of the main body will take place
early in the first and second weeks of
August. The commanding officers will
not be behind ; in fact according to the
Times, Major-General Sir J. Miller
Ayde, starts to night for Paris, to make
arrangements for the French contin-
gent, and then to proceed at once to
Brandisi for the theatre of operations.

leh in order to have command over the
railroad. To do this the 60th Ribs
were marched off from their position
outside the Rosetta Gate. 'A body of
mounted infantry, one Gatlin, and two
field pieces followed, with the 35th in.
fantry in reserve. The Getling 'with
one of the field guns was left at the
bridge over the Canal, with some 50
men to guard that important approach.

The rest marched forward. They had
not gone far before they came, upon a
strong
drthalegene
charged along the railway, coming up
with loud shouts, much flourishing of
lances, and in every sense wild firing of
matchlocks to within 300 yards of our
force.. The Rifles took steady aim, and
fired right into them: They broke,
and after another discharge of their
guns went off in full retreat, only to
reappear in a short time with some
Mere of Arabi's 7,000 or 100,000 men—
the amount (Allis following is variously
given—and two field guns. Against
this formidable force our men had
nothing to do but to get under cover
and • let the artillery fire over their
heads. This they did., carrying with
them the three mei] who had been hit
in the previous skirmish. Our men,
who had been reinforced by 600 blue
jackets, replied vigorously, and after
emptying several saddles drove the
enemy back, guns and all. The fight-
ing was desultory, but was pretty stiff
while it lasted—about an hour the first
skirmish, and about two hours the
second. More fighting was expected
before the day came to an end, but as
yet all is quiet, though Arabi is said to .
be advancing witn his infantry, the bulk
of which is said to be stationed at
Damietta. .Ramleh has been occupied
by the 60th Rifles, and Arabi's force is
now on the other side of the town. The
steadiness of our men, the majority of
whom were quite young soldiers, was
admirable. The casualties were insig-
nificant, but jast escaped being heavy,
as one of the Egyptian projectiles burst
too high to do any damage during
the second skirmish to-dsiy. In con-
sequence of this the British escaped
heavy loss. The Egyptians advanced
boldly but without judgment, as they
might easily have caught all the mount-
ed infantry, many of whom were bad
riders. Our men took and brought 60
prisoners into Ramleh, which we will
permanently hold and put heavy guns
there. The Egyptians are - working
desperately to enteenchtheir aide of the
narrow pass between the lakes near
Es.
ABI'S INFLUENCE.—All the mule
cart drivers engaged by the British
Commissioner have deserted to Arabi,
who has also on his side at least two of
the Khedive's present Ministers, who
keep him thoroughly informed of all
that goes on. England has recognized
this Minister, but the British Consul
and those in authority on our side keep,
a Wean; look out on their movements.
Though often urged to do so by the
British Consul, the Khedive has nob
yet appointed a success -or to Arabi. He
is always "going to do so." In order to
prevent Dervisch Pasha, who is now at
the Porte, or the supporters of Arabi at
Constantinople, from being able to do
any further mischief, all telegraphic
communication between Egypt and
Turkey has been cut off by order of
Admiral Seymour. In one of his let-
ters Commander Batchellor, command- -
hag the Galena, says find the idea
so persistently enforced by the English
press, that only the military side with
Arabi Pasha, is not generally entertain-
ed here. I have it from persons of
position having excellent opportunities
for forming correct estimates of the sit-
uation that nine -tenths of the native
population of Alexandria and Cairo ar0.

"FRANCE AND THE Cnis. — Owing, it
is supposed, to combined pressure on
the part of Germany and Russia,France
is beginning to , withdraw from her
English alliance. She is somewhat

other Powers, and as they will not

will leave England to act alone
