ONS PRING AND ANOTHER.
A political Ileal is said to be on in
Manitoba for the translation of Mr.
Greenway to the Dominion Senate
and the assumption of the provitjsc�ltltl
premiership by Mr. Siftou, F$11
breezy young elan who is w
Minister of the Interior. He is one
of the class of ulen brought to the frost
by ire Manitoba School QLIeStiuu,
which ryas exploited wore for -
party popularity than for any reason
connected with the public welfare,
If Mr. Greenway goes to the Senate
he will politically bury himself its the
parish methods by which he hits been
enabled to retain power tit Winnipeg
are not such as can be successfully ei n-
ployed at Ottawa. Mr. Greenway has
fared very well by politics, slating back
to the period when he played the role
in this county of Pontius Pilate acid
betrayed the confidence of his party
for the thirty pieces of silver, its hits
been alleged, or its equivalent,
«*.
The first division in the Legislature
gave the Hardy Government it major-
ity of six and the Liberals tare Its
pleased as if they expected Lite ava-
lanche early in the session. lm the
debate which preceded the division the
suppol•ters of 1 -lardy sat its if glued to
their seats And made no at',elllpt to
reply to the arguments of the Conser-
vatives. Are they just so Many voting
machines rind with no other mission
bnt to register the will of the little
Czar who is just now Premier ?
.*„
Hardy's policy is quite evident. lie
hopes to weary and coerce the Opposi-
tion into allowing the passage of his
Constable Bill, but it play be that le
reckons previously. Public opinion is
with Whitney nl opposition to this i
piece of outrageous legislation which
should be fought to the last ditch. If
It Government is :allowed to endow it
class of its followers- with the franchise
after the election kind thus alter the
result and save themselves, where is
our boasted system of responsible gov-
ernment ?
***
Mr. Garrow has given tine electors
many a surprise since the third of
Mareh '98. Many•at that time ex-
pressed the opinion that his dignity
wonld never permit of hit" becoming
" Gibson's Choice " ; others,. again In-
sisted that he would not accept until
the mystery surrounding that ballot
which, it has been charged, was tamp-
ered with at the Holnlesville poll,
had been cleared aP.stillOt
hers
maintained that a spirit of fair
play would cause him to oppose the
special session and the object for which
it has been called, in other words that
he would not seek to change the law,
under which the election was fought,in
order to steal the sent from "Joe" Beck.
But Mr. Garrow by bis acti$$ns-actions
speak louder than words1as put such
prophecies all out of joint and given
himself a standing among the ultra poli-
ticians.
Hardy still retains Its heads of two of
his most Important Departments men
who -were rejected by their constitn-
ents on March 3rd, or nearly six
months ago. If two "ontsider•s" can
hold portfolios why not three times
two, or for that !natter the whole
Cabinet ? Still to follow custom and
the constitution would keep its on the
safe side, and if Mr. Hardy cannot
forthwith beg or steal a seat each for
Gibson and Dryden he should allow
them to retire into private life.

I Columbia is earning Itis spurs. Ile
is a Liberal and ha.s a son whom he
wanted to force into the Turner Gov-
ernment, but the Premier refusing to
follow the suggestion the Governor
dismissed hit" front office and called in
Mr. Beaven to form it Cabinet. As it
happened this gentleujan is not even a
member of the Legislature,having been
ignominiously defeated at the list elec-
tions, nor wits lie tho leader of Lite
Opposition, in fact he ran AS an inde-
pendent. Mr. Beaven has been uilsuc-
cessfill in his endeavors to form it Gov-
ernment so Govornor McInnes has had
to make another choice. His pretext
for dismissing Turner wasthe flimsy one
that ie did not command the support
of the Legislature. As the elections
are just over and the parties stand
even it will be granted that the Gover-
nor exceded his duty, but displayed his
partisanship. Had Mr. Turner been
more worldly-wise andeorrupthe would
have given each and every member of
the McInnes farnily a comfortable posi-
tion, even if he had to create a few sine-
cutes forthepurpose. Pap seems to have
the most soothing effect upon Liberal
politicians, as is well-known by experi-
ence in Huron, very well known, in-
deed.
The following despatch from Ottawa
does a title unfold and disclose a pretty
moral. To lead to a proper under-
standing there must be a rending be-
tween the lineg,coupled with the rumor
that has been current for several
months that the Signal man would be
liberally dealt with. Iloweyer, he. lifts
well earned his reward, even though it
is given in this rather unusual manner.
We shall be pleased to eventually lent
that it hn.s netted him several thou.
sand dollars without any exertion for
himself. The despatch -ran thus:-
"The Government has Awarded the
