‘Mr. Champagne, Liberal, was on Tuesday elected in ‘the County of ’Wright, Quebec, over Mr. MeDongall, Conservative, by a majority of over 800. The =election was caused by the resignation of Mr. Devlin. But the Dominion Parliament‘must ‘be guided by their surroundings. Had the Dingley bill shown a re~ auction in duties instead of an in- crease, it would have been comparé ativeiy easy for the Canadian Parlia- ment to .meet their neighbors hai‘f Jva3n The Liberal party now Zin power ’in this country are opposed in prin- ciple to a protective tariff. They have long contended that a treaty of *reciprocity with the Unit-ed States" wvould prove beneficial to both par- ties concerned. Were Mr. Cleve- land at the head of affairs, backed “up by Congressmen and members of the House of Representatives, there would be a *fitir chance for such a 'treaty. Mr. JolaniRichalvlson, P.‘P.\f01‘ I‘lastTYoi‘k, has introduee‘d (a 'bill in thc‘ngse to-amend the Assessment Act-palso'aabill .ia) (amend the Mn- :ficjpa‘i Act. Canadians here need not feel sur- prised that such a measure is now proposed, as it has-been known that the newly elected president was op- posed to anything savoring of free trade. Nevertheless it is etc be re- gretted that our neighbors seem bent on erecting a Chinese wall around‘ their territory which will not only injure themselves but also those who should trade with them. In the face of this victory and of ‘many other Victories is it not time that certain newspapers and certain politicians should cease their slanders upon French-Canadians in Quebec? In many instances it has been shown that the citizens of the Lower pro- vince are more independent in p0- »iitical matters than we are in Ontario.. There is no evidence to shoiv thkiit 'the new tariff bill, presented by the McKinley administration has been drawn up with a view to inflict Can- 'ada. It is but fair togive the fram~ ers credit for believing that the high iproteetion proposed would be bene- ficial to their country, or at least that it would be {popular with the people. The Liberal candidate in refusing .to sign the pledge drawn up by the ‘bishops of his church stated that he felt bound to accept without restric- ‘tions the decisions of his spiritual ad- visers in all questions of faith and anorals. But in political questions, said he, “I claim the liberty to which every British citizen is enti~ ftlcd. I cannot in conscience alienate this liberty, Which also belongs to Fthe electors whOSc sum-ages I am now asking." ' ‘vcrsation with the electors “ to Speak “one single word in favor of the settle- rJment, or of giving it a trial, because the same has not been accepted by Ithc religious authority.” At the opening of the campaign .Mr. Guite was asked to sign a docu- iment pledging himself to oppose the 'Laurier-Greenway settlement of the Manitoba school question, and to for- bid all those who should represent iliim during the campaign either on the hustings or in their private eon- The victory in Bonaventure last 'Thursday when Mr. Guite, Liberal, was elected over his opponent by the large majority of 850, is significant. ’LThe contest may be said to have been lbetween the bishops and the laity of of the Roman Catholic Church, and the result shows that the latter a- chieved a signal triumph.
