'$e Retirement of Mr. Blair from
The Dominion. Cabinet.--]
The announcement . Was made from: Ot.
taws, on Tuetday last, that Hon. A. G.
Blair, Minister of Railways in the Dominion
Cabinet,bad resigned his position in the
Government.. The announcement o the
"resignwti`on of so prominent a memberrf the
Cabinet in the midst - of a cession, was a
surprise to, most people, bat those in the
inner political circles, se well as diose ob-
servers from without; expected comet hang 'of
this kind before, long; aItheugh it crane more`
- quickly than they eepposed it would. ` The
immediate cease of Mr; Blair's withdraw&I
horn the Cabinet is said to be a difference of
opinion from his colleagues on the railway
policy of the Government,. more particular-
ly ae it conoerna, the Grand Trunk. Pacific.
Mrs. Blair is opposed to the construction of
the new road from Quebec ' to Monckton,
holding that it will parallel " the Interoolon-
lel and will injure the prosper of 1 that
toad, which has been upder -kis charge since
hesssunied office, and in which he took a
very great interest. He prefers rather, the
eXteneion of the- Interoolonial to Winnipeg,.
thus making it a part Of the transoonginen-
tal road. The Government have deot ed to
build the:new road, hence Mr. Blair's eeig-
natiion.. This, however, we fancy, is'si ply
the last straw, as it is well known.e_thet Mr•
Blair has not been in full accord friFth ome
of his eolleaguee ori other subjects- .for orae
tinier.
T
Mr. Blair beoamela member of the La
Government when ' assuod office, an
held the important portfolio of Minist
Railways ever since. He resigned
Premiership of New Brunswick, a pea
he had held for many years, to been
member of the Doinlgfon Government,
now represents the pity of St. Johns, hL
defeated Hon. G. E. 3i'oeter in that cone
eney all the last eleotion, by a majorit
975. He is a strong and popular m
New Brunswick. It was largely thr
his Induenee that in the last Provincial.
Mons the Reformers carried the Provino.
straight party lines, and that a strai
Reform. Government is -now installed th
although there had been a oo-clition. Gov
ment in power for many years, an
which Mr. Blair himself had long been
head. He is also a man of exoepti
ability,; else he would not have -held! fo.
long. the high and important positions he
cupied.' His devotion to principle, also
evinced: by the fact that he now aband
office and emolument rather than give
consent to a' policy he believes to he eentr
to the best interests of the country.
notwithstanding his high ability 'and 'se
of rectitude, he has his failings,and they
seriousonee for a person (volleying the p
tion he did. He is very conservative in
views, and cannot/ recanoile himeekf to f
'
more.demon—ticideas of his younger o
, leagues. " He is a product of the eastern a
older Provinces, where, in politics,, might
right and expediency playa a mora promi
ent part than prinoiple. There: the f
iii rule at the expense of the many,: where
in the newer Provinces of Ontario and Mani-
tobaeh?e people insist on their right to ru e,
and refuse to become the hewers; of wo d
and drawers of water to the monopolistpi
corporations and powerful monetary in-
stitutions. ;Mr, Mair not having sufficient-
ly'outgrown his earlier training, - conic! n
seethe- feree anc1 sense of this. He cou:
not understand Why the people ahould' n
be brought into subjeation to the corpora
tions andewhy the latter should not zule,an�.
be was always aiding them as far as he could
to. secure thio power., Hence •hie troub e
with his western colleagues, who unclestand the` situation rind temper of the m -
jority of the people with whom they have t
deal very muoh more accurately th-an he do esj
and who know that were Mr. Blair's polio rel
to prevail the Governeient would be doomed./
Under . these oiroumstanoep, therefore, we
have no hesitation in: saying that the retiret.
meat of. Mr. Blair from the Dominion Cab'r
net is a good thing for the Government an
a- better thing for the enuntry. We, in t
west,. respect the man fore his great abi-1i y
and integrity, but hie views are too far e
hind the times but,

more doneistently he adheres to them; th

will be a cheap and easily acoessable tribunal

railway companies and their patrons. - In
thelseeond place, the responsibility of main-

that I had not seen Mr. Doan for three

is 30 or 40 feet from where he was, and had
tied the horse and Wag removing the bit --

The Condition of The Pope.
The latest despatches from Rome, dated
July Ifitir, say ; Dr. Mazzoni, in reply to
the question, 'Oen the Pope recover ?' gave
the Associated, Press correspondent tooeight
the following statement : At the present
moment the disease of his Holinees has lost
the character of abeolute gravity; which it
had at its aciute period. It might be con.
sidered to have entered the period of pen-
eible recovery. This might occur iu a man
of strong fibre and young, but it is impos•
sible to entertain such 'a hope in a man in
his 94th year, when the physical energy ab-
solutely indiepensible for recovery 'is lack-

i TOOK NOURISHMENT.
Durlog the day the Pope took a slight
amount ef nourishment. Throughout - the
morning he was quite restless, shifting un•
easily on hie bed, and complaining of being
linable to seoure an easy position. Later
he became drowsy, and dtiring the after-
noon had some sleep. :The assembling of

f re the usual time, was not due to any
a arming turn in the Pope's condition, but
through the wish to thoroughly '-go over
enery detail cif the sitnation. The moderate
tone of the bulletin which followed the
vitt, gave an assurance that the patient's
uneasiness at the ohesee but that he has not
yet given up hope, was ' indieated by his ree
mark that he expected. the oppression to'
pass off in- a few days."
