D BLOUGE THE LEGISLATIVE TOURs The fmmms Algoma Legislative tour is now a matter (:f history and the tourists have returned to their homes, but it will be long before the benefits thereof, both to the participants and to the district visited, will cease to have there effect. The country through which the trip was taken is as little known as any part of the PrOVince, forever). those Whose busi- nessit is to know the countryâ€"the legislators who make its laws and the pIC'OSSlIlk’Il who write its historyâ€"found that their knowledge was superficial and inaccurate. For nearly two weeks the party travelled by rail and Water- over hun- dreds of miles of territory, through districts containing thousands of acres of splendid agricultural land and hun- dreds of square miles of mineral country holding millions of dollars worth of many of the most valuable products of the mine; instead of a barren desolate waste of rock and swamp where nothing of service to man could be produced, they found vast tracks of country capable of growing Wheat, hay and vegetables in abundance, and favored with aclimate exactly suitable for their production. Dotted along the route in districts where ice and snow is pmperly sup- posed to hold undisputed possession almost the year round they found thriving homestead and prosperous farms ; hex-e the haldy and industrious settler was living in comfort and con- tentment while interspersed -With these, were rich tracts of humeral land, where the mining shaft had been sunk and the busy staunping mill was wrest- ing the precious metals from mother earth. All this was being done in spite of the insurinountable difficulties which arose not from any incompleteness in the work Nature has done, but in the lack of enterprize on the part of men to take. advantage of that work. In that country of immense distances. ‘ far removed from the centre of com- merce there are little or no means of transportation; the, widely separated : settlers, and the far removed mines are Without mea-ns’of communication, onewith another and with the outâ€" side world. Railroads and highways are wanted, rivers need bridges, and rapids must he made navigable, the country is there teeming with possibil- ities, but it is out of reach. The cause of the neglect to provide all this is lack of knowledge of the necessity. The purpose of the tour was to remove this ignorance, and now that the legis~ latms know the facts and the press are enabled to disseminate that know- ledge amoug the people, there is good hope that much of the needed w01k may be. undertaken, slowly and by de- grees perhaps, in comparison to the great need, but still it can be com- menced, and immense impetus given to the development of as rich a section of new and comparatively un- occupied territory as exists in the Do- minion to-day. The excursion was happily conceivâ€" ed and admirably carried out and the weather from start to fiinish was all that could be desired. The choice of route was well made, in View of the purpose for which the trip ‘was under- taken. At Sault St. Marie, which was the practvical'steu‘ting point, the tourists obtained some idea. of the necessity of a railway to open up the countrzyunnihg north toward James Bay. The trip to Silver Mountain Mine, back of Port Arthur, gave a peep into the mineral resources of that district, while north of Fort William the rich agricultural stretch- es of the Slate River Valley afforded many a magnificent object lesson, of what industrious and intelligent farmâ€" ing could do and this was repeated at Dryden on the way to Rat Portage. The second week of the trip, spent in i the mining districts of the Lake of the ‘ Woods and Rainy River, and among the farms skirting the Canadian banks of that noble stream, was a revelation as startling as it was gratifying. The more detailed story however must be left for a second article. POLITICS IN MANITOBA. Local politics are at boiling point just now in the Province of Manitoba, and both political camps are getting everything in readiness for the gen- eral election which will take place sometime this fall. The Greenway Government will appeal to the elec- torate with a twelve years’ record of clean, progressive administration, during which the Prairie Province has made marvellous headway in every direction. In that period the country has been settled at a most satisfactory ‘ rate. The increase of area under cul- ‘tivation has nearly quadrupled; the total yield of wheat in 1889 was little orer 7,000,000 bushels While it has been estimated that in 1900 the Province will have 50,000,000 bushels for export in addition to what will be required for home consumption. RaiIWay con- struction is being pushed foiward at an unprecedented rate and the Pro- _ Vince has under the present adminis- Our Ottawa Letter. Lration constructed more miles of rail- way than Ontario, British Columbia and the Maritime Provinces combim ed, and aha much less proportionate cost. ' A GENEROUS POLICY. Generous cash grants have been made for public services, as for exam- ple: for educational purposes $1,525,-. 4‘20, agricultural $185,205, municipal $433,032, hospital $240,670, or a total of nearly $2,400,000 out of the current revenue of the Province. Not one cent of this has been paid out of the $2.500,000 of borrowed money, though assertions to that effect have been per- sistently made by the Oppwitienp That borrowed money has been spent in railways, public buildings, interest on railway bonds issued by the present administration’s Conservative prede- cessors, and for the wiping out of the deficit which existed when Mr. Green- wuy assumed office." .‘ n u 1,, The population of the Province has doubled in the last twelve years, but the cost of administration is less, for the public accounts of 1898 shows a saving in this item of nearly $53,000 over the last year of Conservative rule, it condition of affairs probably unique in the Dominion and an indica- tion of the care and economy exercised in every department of the adminis- tration. This is a. record with which any government might go to the country in the full confidence of re- ceiving popular endorsation. 1‘." 1 The Redi tribntion Bill has been given its third reading. The debate on the 2nd and 3rd reading has de- veloped no new features not is there any indication in the country that any eifecthas been produced by the un- supported charges of the Opposition that the measure is unjust and uncon- ditional. All who are open to convic- 1 tion at all fully recognize the justice of the Government’s action in removing the monstrous anomalies of the exist- 1 11') g law, and it has been clearly shown by the fullest statistics, and by referâ€" : ence to British piecedent that the unâ€" ; derlying principle of the bill, namely the adoption of municipal boundaries for electoral pur oses, is the only right and safe princip e to go upon. The minor objection, that the bill is not constitutional, inasmuch as the Brit- ’ist- North America Act calls for a, Re- distribution Billnher ever decennial periodâ€"though it does not, of course, forbid such a measure intermediatelyâ€" was fully answered by the Premier 1 when he observed that, “it was al- ways constitutional for the Govern- ment to right a Wrong.” IRREPRESSIBLE MRI. DAVIS. The incidents attending the sittings of the House on \Vednesday afternoon are instructive in more ways than one. Almost the entire session till six o’clock was taken up by a. discussion upon the Yukon matter, precipitated by Mr. Davinrthe irrepressible talker from Regina, who, upon the flimiest pretext, once again brought up the subject which had already been thrashed thread-bare during the course of two exceptionally lengthy debates. As the premier subsequently pointed out, Mr. Dayiii‘ was .guilty of _r_._.__ .A.,.,‘ n! rum“. , .-_. _ w U y a flagrant abuse of the privileges of the House in thus introducing a ma trier which had been so thoroughly dispos- ed of, and no one, even on his own side, Wa§ able to discover any reason for thei m. gentlenmn’s conduct, for he had a olubely nothing new to say upon the-sulniject» 11 ‘1 ,L 0:.» nLA~ “r..- W “er It isonly fair to add that Sir Chas. Tupper‘ exonerated himself from any complicity in the irregular and inde- fensible course pursued by his lieuten- ant, for he assured the Honse that he had no idea. that the matter was to be brought up again and he was entirely unprepared for the course his support- er had taken. While it is satisfactory to the country to know that the 01:- position leader is no party to such tactics, it is significant that a gentle- man like Mr. Davin, who considers himself so prominent a member of the party, should thus take the bit in his teeth and utterly ignore his leader in a matter to which he apparently at~ tatches so much importance. 7 Vaughan Council met at the Town Hall, 0;!
