SEAFORTH, FRIDAY, May 3rd, 1901
The Dominion Parliament
Oar legislators are still pegging away
the Parliament buildings at Ottawa. The
has been a good deal of talking clone, a t
measures have been advanced a stage a
the estimates haver been discussed and tho
lor several departments have been passe
Members have conirneeced to talk abo
prorogation, and some predict that t
House will be closed before the 24th of Ma
There has not as yet anything been said
the Home about the talked of increase
the indemnity to members, and the subje
has not yet been discussed publicly, wha
ever understanding may have been arriv
at privately between parties. The date
mination of the Government respecting t
matter will not likely be definitely kno w
until the supplementary estimates a
brought down. Two days were occupied
endeavoring to satisfy the Opposition r
garding the Sault Ste. Marie steel rail co
tracts, one day was taken up in conyincin
them that it wasn't worth while to reope
the Nipissing eleotion case, a half a da
wee spent in convincing Mr. 3,1 th
deputy Opposition leader, that he had no
made good the charges he fern .lated
-volubly a short time ago regarding she Va
leyfield strike and its settlement, anothe
half day (dipped by while the Oppositio
criticised the Labor Bureau estimates, and
good long spell at the end Wag allotted t
the Opposition in which to pick flaws in th
census -taking aud make one of their periodi
cal resuscitations of the race cry, in whic
the " your another " argument predomin
ated, one party trying to faaten on th
other the charge of raising this cry for part
purposes. But all these, although the
consumed time, were mere side isaues, an
did not begin to compare in interest with
the gnat sittings of the Senatorial investi
getion committee on the Cook charges, and
the Railway Committee's consideration o
the bills regardieg the Manitoba-Roblha deal
What the outcome of these latter will be
it ie impossible at present to fortel. Lengthy
and able arguments have been made before
the committee by solicitors in behalf of the
various interests involved, arid also by
members ef a delegation from Manitoba in
apposition to the deal. T4e general:opinion
in the committee and in Parliament also is,
that the people of Manitoba -should have
their own way in the matter, and that if,
through their Legislature, they see fit to
make a ruinous bargain, they ehould be per -
milted to suffer the consequences. But
there may be constitutional complications
involved in the schemes which may make st
necessary for the DOminion to interfere.
However, the matter will likely be definitely
eettled in a few days, The Senate commit-
tee heve not yet made their report on the
Cook embroglio, but the general expectation
is that there will be a majority and a min-
ority report, the former bringing complicity
to the Government and the latter exculpat-
ing them; But it now matters little what
may be the final action of the committe or
the Senate,ithe publ•ic now have before them
ail the facts; available, and they can form
their awn conclusione, and are as eapable of
corning to a correct decision as are the old
ladies of the Senate.

The Old, Old Story.
The Toronto Star very truly says :
" Canada has expended, in round num-
bers, ane hundred million dollars on her
ca.nel eystern, so that lase year there weal
opened up a Canadian waterway from the
upper lakes to the ocean, through whieh
boats drawing 14 feet could pass. Three
days ago it was announced that a Chicago
company- will have ready in a couple of
weeks four boats, built at a cost of $1,000,-
0)0, clrawine water to the full capacity of
our mamba, to carry on trade peeween the
upper ports and Europe. -By using tele-
scopes, the people of Toronto may be able
thia summer to see these veesels paseing up
and clown the lake. While we were build-
ing the canals and improving them, capital-
iata in Chicago were building boats to fit
them to en inch."
This is the °Id, old etory, to which Tim
EeecresTaR has many times directed at-
tention. The Canadians build the canale
and the_ waterways and the Yankees use
them to float their products to thee markets
ed Great Britain at a cheap rate of freight,
there to compete with the products of thie
country. This is a nice, obliging game
whieh the Canadian Governments, both
Grit and Tory, have been playing for our
American friends for a, good many years,
rind, judging from recent discusaions in
Parliament, there are a good many men
who are crazy enough to desire its con-
tinuance. While millions are being spent
to provide Uncle Sam with cheap trans-
portation, our good Minister of Railways
has not had time during thepast six years
to prepare a short bill that will prevent
our own railways from discriminating in
favor of these same Yankees, to the loss .
and injury of the people of Ontario. And
yeti although Ontario has 90 odd repre.
eentatives in Parliament, there is not one of
them that has pluck enough to espouse the i
coarse of the Ontario producer, who is being
thus discriminated against. Our old friend,
Dr. McDonald, of Eest, Huron, a gentleman
of great ability and usually of good judg.
ment, has been beguiled more thee once
into pleading eloquently for the expendi-
ture of still more money on our through
waterways, hat they maY afford additional
facilities fo the Yankee shippers and
Yankee pro ucers, that we might have the
privilege, as the Star points out, of viewing
their milli() dollar veeiels .through
telescope, hile pasaing (ever the fine
wiaterways o have provided for them, but
he has nee r yet got down to the more
common re ities of life`a.nd to use his line
figures of sp ech in urging something that
will secure fair play for the shippars and
producers °flails own province's Why this is
so, it might e interesting if he would give
his conatitu nte a hint. We make these
suggestions without prejudice, as the
lawyers say 'and if he likes to act upon
them, we sh'll be pleased to give him the

whatever iw the politicians take of this
question, it 0 sotne satisfaction that wide
awake journals, like the Star, are waking
up to our true poeition. The Globe has
recently be4ome an able and an ardent

It would lie impossible to place a greater

show that no such offer h d ever bee made

that was produced to show that a orrupt
offer had been made by a y -person, as the
evidence of Mr. Cook hi self, amd es en A,his

those adopting it: Sir R chard Cart right

.he has been a leading fi ure in Ca adieu
