a .miraculous escape froin death near Sud-

engine was called into use, which did not

curve the engineer saw a broken rail some
three hundred yards ahead. . Knowing it

train at that distance, he put on a fed/head
of steam and tried to erose the break. The
engine, baggage and mail, smoking and
second-olaes oars got over in safety, but the

the dining car and sleeper. . They dragged
along a few hundeed, feet on the ties when
the first-olass coach left the trucks an d
tumbled over into the snow, thedining ear
crashing into the end 'a second later. The
sleeper alsotumbled, over on its aide.

The 'negotiations between Her Majesty's

The extension and development of our

that it was 'Open to the charge of being

that the seetof the menther :for West

he vainly looked over the Treasury benthes

SOMO .future .00pesieht. When VitraPafi0
would be needed or that the whole matter
had been pigeon‘holed and forgotten,It
was also proposed lad Year to de &Vey
with the Ministers of Inland Revenue and
Customs, but op Odle present time neither
of those gentlemen had 'had his heed, out
off. The appointment Of a Solicitor -
General was provided, for last tiession,1bnt
there is. no Solioitor•General. The Elec-
tion • law is unsatisfiabry at present. He
,hoped the amendment • would, be made BO
that the Government would not have it in.
their power to select. the 'deputy returning
officers. There, must also be, some 'changes
in the Controverted Election Aot. When
we find judges in Ontario, Quebec • and
New Brcinewick all differing with reference`
to the coestruction tehe put niacin the Act,
it is time Parliament should step In and
settle it. The Franchise •Act has had a
chequered career. It had been emended
and suspended'and he hoped it weuld, be
repealed •altogether in 1889. The More
this question is discussed, the more
eppar-
ont it will be that the'course the.Opposi-
tion took was thetrne =urea The deter
-
imitation of • franchise should he left to
the Provinces, asit is a complex question
and must ;depend upon the habits and
onstoingeof the people in the various sec-
tions of the' Dominion. , If Canada ..wes:
prospering financially, why could we not
hold . Oven 'our .native population? . He
believed.the reason was to be found in the
vioions economic system that we had been
following for some years. Ji4. its fruits a
tree should be known, . and fruits of our
present system of • government were the
creation of 'rings and combinations; secure
by taw from foreign competition,holding
.by statute • the :people in their grasp an
wringing out ofthem an tuidue, unfair 'and -
illegitimate, :gain. The 'building of the

entirely for the additional cost of the , road
withont drawing on the older motion of the
Dominion. In 1880 the Premier prophesied
a yearly immigration into the Canadian
Northwest of twenty-five thousand for the
fallowing ten years, bringing a revenue to
the Government from the Sales of lande Of
1160,000,000., The:tensile 'returns had die
pelled. the _estimate as tothe- population
'
while the income from the sides Of lands,
from 1880 to 1886 amounted to little over
toter minim:ire all of Whit* WBB consumed
in eurveysand collection. The result was
that the construction of the Mad had largely
increased the taxation of the .people...' The
Speech called attention tethe good • limp ill
Manitoba. It is true that Manitoba has been
blessed by the abundant orop, but the bles-
sing Of ,God has been destxoyeelly thehand
of man. ' The position of Manitoba to -day.
with its plentiful crops, is no better than it
-was,-When the crops were .scanty. The
evils of monopoly are being felt: by : the
people. Manitoba has been complain:
ing for year% and never was the cense
More apparent than to -day. Not Only
is the monopoly exacting high rites, but is
letting rot that' which it cannot carry itself.
The principle on which the Government
have been subsidizing railways is that they
arc necessary for the ..developnierit of the
country; but at thesaMe time they are .do-
ing all they can to prevent Manitoba hnin•
extending its `tailyeay system. Instances
are not wanting in , history where tyrannical
Governments have taken front the people
the earningsof their labors; but it has been
left for the Government of Canada to etifle
:the industry of the country. The tinie, has
come for a change in the policy of the, last
ten yearn. He did not intend, tit move an

Office, as. being olosely connected with the
other matters that would receive his at
tion. Tho speech of His Honor the Lie
tenant -Governor contained an • intimation
Of the proposition contained in the, Bill, and
he ventured to 'etty that the intimation had
been received everywhere in the Province .
with the greatest satisfaction. The advan-
tages of ,having' an Agriculture Minister for `
the Province were fully recognized ell over
the Province by both political parties; This
wouM not be wondered at when it was re-
membered how large a proportion of the :
pimple of -the- Province were engaged in
agricultural andkindred pursuits, and, that .
acebrcling to the last census the rural
population was numbered . at three times
the number of the urban population of the
Province. Another very interesting feet in
connection with the sanie subject was that.
of the exports of the Province more than •
one-half were the'prodUce of farms; and of
the other half the greater Pin were the •
Produce of forests and mines. . v
