The man that never swerved from his principles, the man that re- linquished power rather than yield to the slightest encroachments on those principles, the man that, a great leader of. a great party, has al- ways put country before party, the main in whom, according to the tes- timony of his very enemies, there is nothing bas.:â€"â€"â€"that man may ever be relied on to advise and to counsel what will be for the best interests of us all. The Liberal party may, indeed, be disorganized, the mem- bers of that party may be a multi- plicity of units instead of a united whole. But so long as Alexander Mackenzie is alive and able to use his faculties, Liberalism is still strong, still powerful, still the enemy of abuses created, and the pioneer in refox ms that make for the A flutter of excitement has been raised by a report industIiously cir’ culated that there will shortly be an election in East York. There isnot one word oftruth in it. And the best anSWer to this Tory stupidity is that the Hon. Alexander Macâ€" kenzie 15 now in the enjoyment 01 better health than he has had for a longtime. “hen the Dominion Parliament opens, Mr. Mackenzie But Mr. Smith, with great good judgment and tact, showed how hollow it was. Mr. Mowat, declar- ed the member lor East York, was expending the Provincial funds wise- ly and economically. Not in the spirit of a miser, but rather in that of a shrewd and considerate finan- cier, he gave back to the people in the best investments possible every available dollar. And this. too, added Mr. Smith, Without the slight- est encroachment on the capital assets of the Provmce. Such was the tenor of a really admirable spetch. In an argument at once strong, IUCId and good-natured, he broke down the attack made by Mr.CIarke. That attack, according to the ethics of the Opposition, had to be made. ranks of the wholesale dry goods men of Canada. But the ability to make a financial speech interesting to listeners is seldom an accomâ€" paniment of financial abil ity, and this desirable talent Mr. Smith seems to possess. .Judging from the caretul attention and tre- quent applause he received during an address of nearly an hour‘s time, in the Legislatwe Assembly, in re- ply to Mr. Clarke’s attack on. the Treasurer’s Budget, it is certain he made an impression which will not soon be forgotten by the members of the House and more particularly by Mr. H. E. Clarke. village, and maintaining one un- broken line of success for a quarter of a century, he ls found in the front against the attacks of the gentleman who is evidently ambitious to be- come the Tory Finance Minister. Mr. Smith’s financial abillty is well known in the mercantile world. Starting as he did from a country Mr. G. B.

And at last so po- tently for harm have N. P., disal- lowance and C. P. R. worked, that the bonds of party have been snap- ped asunder, and the government's most bitter foes are prominent Con. servatives. Throughout the length and breadth oi Manitoba the Macâ€" donald regime has not a single friend outside the ring;r of venial. traitorous members of parliament and of C. P_ R. officials. Mr. Scarth, and all the other pliant tools of Sir John Mac- donald, were ignomoniously routed at the last meeting ot the Conserva- tive Association in Winnipeg. The Greenwood government is gaming in strength every day, and before long the Red River Valley Railroad will be an accomplished fact. It re- mains to be seen if Sir John Mac- donald at the bidding of Sir George Stephens and Mr. VanHorne will dare to summon the volunteers of Ontario to crush into the dust the rights of their fellow countrymen in Manitoba. The bonds by which the Conserv- ative party is held together may be interred from what is now taking place in Manitoba. That province has been brought to the last gasp by the tyranny ot the Dominion Gov- ernment obeying its master, the Canadian Pacific Railroad. While the road was 1n process of building, all went well. Vast sums of money were expended in its construction, emigration was stimulated, and pros- perity seemed to welcome all with its smile. It is true that the money was to a very large extent furnished by the Dominion; it. is also true that the road was regarded as a mighty instrument for the public welfare. But touching the latter view, the people of Manitoba were wretchedly deceived. What seemed to them a giant ior good has proved to be a. giant for ev1l. And at last so p0- tently for harm have N.
