AYE, THERE'S THE RUB
We have several times referred
to the impracticability of the Grit
Suggestion to the American Congress
to do away with the bonding
privileges which pertnit dutiable
goods to be carried through the one
country to the other, and Lo out the
connection of the Canadian Pacific
at the "Soo" and other paints.
A few weeks ago the Uuited
States Situate Committee on trade
relations with Canada declared that
"Canadian railroads are necessary to
the eastern and western states."
And now comes, the Philadelphia
Record, a highly valued commercial
authority, and says :-
"The main difficulty which fades
the United States Government with
regard to the proposal to prohibit
shipmeut in bond through Canada
would be equivalent to decreeing a
commercial separation between the
north eastern and north-western
States. It would make them from
150 to 500 miles further apart by rail
by depriving them of the advantage
of the Canadian short cut. There
mig.,tfollow upon such action some
serious political consequences. Pro-
bably there's the rub."
The./ do the treasonable sugges-
tionsof Globe EditorFarrar,Charlton,
Cartwright to squeeze Caned t. into
annexatioli fail to commend them -
Helves to the people of the United
States, as they certainly are not
approved by the people of Can
•ad a.
The Americana want our fishing
-bait and'wiII not put a diacriminat-
•iugly large tonnage tax on Canadian
vessels laden with fish, because they
would he shut out from getting bait
and thus mar a profitable branch of
their industry.
They will not cut the connection
with the Canadian Pacific Railway
which by i+s competition keeps
down excessive freight charges from
the western and northwestern states
and thus puts thousands of dollars
annually into the pockete of the
farmers of those sections.
They will not suspend the bond-
ing privileges eujoyed by all C,ina•
dian 1•aiiways as well as by their
owu branches paining through
Canada, because this would entail
commercial separation between the
north eastern and aouth•weetern
states, by depriving them of a rail-
way communication from 150 to 500
shorter than by any route through
their own territory.
MORE JOURNALISTIC DIS-
HONESTY.
Our delightfully unreliable town
contemporary will not take the
used precautions which a careful
editor or publielrer should take
either in matters that are alleged to
come within its own personal know-
ledge or in those that are furnished
it. It endorses its Grit contempor-
ary of London which says that
"electiun deposits are paid out
of a huge government -accumulated
fund." Our totem adds :
"A case in point is the protest in
West Huron. Local Conservatives
expressed theirdisapproval of it at the
time it was entered, and stated their
belief that not a cent of the deposit
WPB raised in the Riding.''
Now this is another of our
totem's nntrutha. Looal Conserva-
tives are agreed upon the necessity
for tie protest. They are agreed
that it is not only a party duty but
a duty every honest Conservative
uwes to his country.
We do not know of thein, but
there may be those who call them-
selves Conservative), and who
approve of the political principles
of Mr. Cameron, and the means
adopted by his friends in order to
elect hitt, but they are not Con-
sery at.iyrs.

EDITORIAL NOTES.
The rimericans "tax" Canadian
eggs going into their country 5 cents.
Our Government admits American
eggs into Canada free. Who are
the restr•icti'nists?
The great bulk of the legislation
passed by the Ontario Aseetnbly at
its recent session was the passing of
private bills having only local in•
terest. Just so. The bulk of the
work done in Torouto could be bet•
ter done, and more cheaply, by
county councils. The Ontario As-
sembly ala law enacting body for
purely municipal and local affairs
should "go."
Prof Goldwin Smith addressed
a Toronto meeting the other even-
ing and laboriously endeavored to
prove that a bad aristocrat was a bad
man. A bad man be he never so
democratic is a bad man. A bad
man though a Liberal is a bad roan
nevertheless. Sir Chas Dilke a
leading M. P. of England had to re-
tire from public life for acandalouely
immoral conduct. Captain Vernet
another Liberal M. P. was expelled
from Parliament a few day ago,
after being sentenced by a law
court to one year imprisonment for
immoral practices And another
Liberal M. P., a prominent Liberal
and professor of history is charged
with attempting to commit rape.
The Lindsay Warder says that in
that town in April 1880 eggs were
from 8 to 9 cents ; in April 1891
they were worth from 14c. to 15
cents. Then the farmers of Michi-
gan are grumbling because they are
getting only 9 cents, yet they were
told the McKinley duty would make
them worth 5 cents more to them than
they would he worth to the Cana-
dian farme-. Unfair comparisons
are made in this and in many other
ways. No matter what the price of
farm produce is in New York or
any other city, the price that the
farmer is interested in is the price
he geld.. It is an undoubted fact
that the Canadian farmer gets all
round better prices for his produce
than does the American farmer,
though, through trade combines and
gambling, fictitiously high prices
may be quoted in American cities,
One of those "scandals" which
ever and anon is boosted by the
Opposition to tickle the palates of
the sensation loving public came
up in parliament the other day and
was referred to the committee on
elections and privileges. It is call -
the "McGreevy scandal." It is
charged that McGreevy a member
of Parliament used information
surreptiously obtained from the
Department of Public Works to
enablea firm of contractors to
swindle the Gov,rrnrnent out of large
sums of money. The chaege dose
not allege auy guilty knowledge on
the part of the Minister of Public
Works. He denies any knowledge
whatever of the alleged -wxong do-
ing. Yet the Grit press have
already convicted him. One could
expect no fairer play from a traitor
source.

THE DUAL LANGUAGE QUES-
TION.
Mr. McCarthy, In rising to hove
for leave to introduce his bill to
amend the North-west Territories
act, said : This bill needs but little
explanation -at least one portion of
it needs but little explanation. One
remembers the long discussion which
took place with reference to this
subject during the last session of last
parliament. 1 would only say that
the object I have in view is to repeal
the law in reference to the dual
language in the NorthwestTerritories
act. 1 do so because I am convinced
that the power or the direction in the
Northwest Territories act that there
should be two official languages in
that country is calculated to per-
petuate race distinctions, which it
ought to be, and I hope is, the object
of this house to do away with. l be-
lieve that I was able to show, how-
ever much some honorable gentle.
men thought the measure was a harsh
one, that at all events it was in the
right direction as far as the North--
west
orthwest Territories are concerned. It
is well t0 1'eniember, of coarse, that
this bill merely deals with the North-
west 'territories, and that the right
to the dual languag.-s is one based
Oil the provisions of the British
Nortl, America act, and is to be
found in that enactment alone. It
is not a right which was conferred
upon our 1''rench•Canadian fellow -
subjects at the time of the cession of
the Province ot Quebec -the old
province of Canaria -to the British
crown. It is not to be found earlier
than the date of the British North
America act, and there 1t is limited, as
we all know, to the proceedings,in
this house and in the senate and the
legislative proceedings of Quebec.
No person who hasgiven any atten-
tion to this subject hut must be con-
vinced that the perpetuation of
these race distinctions is not in the
public interest, and I see no reason,
and anyone who has thoroughly con.
sidered the subject at all must also
be convinced, that, nothing is more
calculated to prevent a common
nationality in this Dominion than
the right to speak, or the encourage-
ment rather, of an additioual langu-
age in theFrench tongue. Of course,
1 do not desire to interfere with the
privileges which every one has to
speak the language or the tongue
that seems to be right, but I tlo de-
sire to prevent anything which will
foster race distinction in our North
west Territories without warrant and,
as I believe, without public object
or benefit. It proposes to deal with
the school question. The genius of
our conetitution, as provided by the
British North America act, is that
the subject of education belongs
exclusively to the provinces. It is
a matter of local concern that ought
to be dealt with by each province.
It is quite true that owing to diffi-
culties in the old province of Upper
Canada there are certain restrictions
or limitations in regard to school
matters imposed upon the provinces
of the Dominion, and I• know of no
good reason why in the Northwest
they should -be restricted in the
matter of education. As the law
stands to -day separate sejrools are
made imperative. Wherever there
are two religious communities there is
the right to separate schools. I pro-
pose not to interfere with that.
Mr. Desjardins-You are very
kind.
-Mr. McCarthy -But simply to give
to the people of the Northwest the
privilege of dealing with the question
of legislation in this relation as to
them seems fit. My bill is not too
objectionable in other respects, as it
was last year, because I admit that
to some of my friends it was a
stumbling block. I have found that
honorable gentlemen who ara quita
willing to adopt the enacting part of
the bill hesitated somewhat over the
terms of the preamble. 'l'hat pream-
ble was unnecessary for the purposes
of the enacting clause, and as 1 have
no desire to increase the difficulties,
already great, that I have before me,
in order to repeat this particular
clause I have left out the preamble
in this short bill.
Mr. Speaker -Shall the honorable
gentleman have leave to introduce
his bill ?
Mr. Choquette -No.
The bill was read a first time.

Mr. Wsggouer, being also a prac.

dairy and 'stock farm near King-
ston, Ont., is peculiarly qualified to
speak by authority. Fl states
that there never was a finer prospect
for the industrious, thrifty iunni•
grants than the Prince Albert
eouutry offers at present. The
reoeut completion of the railway
from the C. P. It, main line at
Regina to the town of Prince Albert,
a distance of 260 miles,and the pros
pect of another important feeder to
Cenadlan Pacific Railway being
started immediately has increased con
tideuce in settlement thereabouts, els
there will be no longer the grievance
of raising grain and stoat, etc., and
then inability to get them to
market. Prince Albert has risen
within a%.uut six years fl oma hamlet
to a town of 1,500 with an im-
mediate surrouudiug district of
8,000 inhabitants, the town hav-
ing a college and educational facili,
ties equal to anything in the
Province of Quebec. The average
product of wheat last year and the
year previous was 35 bushel's to the
acre. As for esculents, every
species produces a good y field, that
of potatoes averaging, to his know-
ledge, 650 to 700 bushels to the
acre last year ; and a Dr. limo, s
friend of hie, actually produced on
a one acre patch of ground he had
especially cultivated, 900 bushels.
Referring to cattle, he mays too
much attention cannot be giveu to
the raising of stock, in the future,
and Prince Albert is deetiued to
take the lead in that respect, the.
reasons being many, but chiefly,
perhaps, through' the tine climate
and the very cheap means of fatten-
ing and raising. No fodder need be
bought. The wild grass, rich,
luxuriant and growing in abundance,
is sufliaient in summer for the
annuals turned out upon it, while
the gathering in of it in ample
quantity fol• the winter needs of
stock is only a question of ordinary
industry and care. "It is quite
astonishing," he remarked, "the +size
that young cattle grow to the first
year, fed on the nutritious wild
meadow." -Montreal Witness.
