In consideration of Mr. Rou' rery mediocre it ia bard to understand oc what gronndi he could ask the people of a province in which he hai no InUretti to tend him to parliament It ia till harder to conceire on at ground they lent Mm there. The fact ia, however, that In electirg rep-reeentatiree the people of these constituencies were actuated by unsound motive. They were tcM, and evidently convinced, tthat it was to their best Intereat anl advantage to telect men, not for their known capacity, their force of character, or deter ruination to pnah the interest of their con-atltuenta, but on account of tba fact that, aa they belonged to the Conservative party, and a the Conservative party was in power at Ottawa, they would be able to secure as "pap" what their constituent considered to be their rights. By electing inch men we practically eonaeded the $erniciou principle that the party In power I justified in using its administrative patronsge and authority with a view to rewarding its partisan and seeming its position.

We limply pro- I claimed our adhesion to the abominable doctrine, 'To the victor belonir the poll." We had our reward. When we had walked Into the trap, and sent to Ottavra men to whom the government could point a evidence that Manitoba approved of their course, the government had nt farther nse for us. We were floated and treated with disdain, which waa ccrtaialy richly deserved. Judging naturally by the ease with which we had been galled, and counting on oar unlimited docility, the gentlemen at Ottawa endeavored to (tad down onr throat a policy directly opposed to oar Interests and not in ascordance with the made to ns previous to the election. This wa the J.

result, the natural result, of unreasoning (partisanship. We do not at all wish it to understood that we think the case would have been different if the other party bad been in power. There is eo reason to (appose it would hare been. We in Manitoba may make op onr minds that there is nothing fir as in taking tide Mi iibcr c' lAsss of tba hSrV-sfciaV' foau- to make us inSa- ential "with these gentleaeo, and we hare does not count for much with them. It is the interest and the duty of Jlanitobao to select men of ability, honesty and cjar-age as their representatives.

There are each men in tSe province, and thsy' belong or have belonged to both political division Such reliable men can see that when the interest of a party of politician and the interest of Manitoba conflict that the party ought to be sunk, and they could be counted on to line It. We can only hope to hold oar own by having embodied ia every one of the few representative we can have a large share of ability and courage. It is, therefore, the duty of the people to see that they allow no absurd and fictitious ahibboleth to influence them when selecting and voting for representative. Party ha no meaning in Manitoba. The intereat of forty -niao fiftieth of the people are all in ae direction, and it would be th height of absurdity after our experience, if on account of unreasoning partixaaship the representation ahosld fall into the hands of the firtisth.

IA KCTKOCStadE roLicr. The recent change in th tariff prove that th words ctSir Richard CartwrigU were tne when he said nhs elvers ment is ap-parently'JiviBg la a ooi para Ji." Instead cf reconciling from th condition of the country the nxsaundnete of their economical policy, they make a step farther in the wrong direction. In the new tariff none of the imposition that hare harrassed aad lr I -t Iritated the I arm teg and working classe of Canada have been removed or. lightened, but eome have been increased. Itisimpcanbleto believe in the eerioo desire of the Dominion government promote the settlement of this Northwestern country.

Nearly very act it performs with reference to this aeottoa in th direction of retarding set Lenient. The tariff previou to th recent change bore with crippling severity on the Northwest, and the peopl of this region, pending the entire abolitioc of the imbecile xtreteetive tariff, naturally looked for som ansdiScation which would have lightened the preasure a little. Instead of this all the that have been made increase that i pressure to a greater or leu orient. The extra duties on woollen goods and gloves are a very heavy addition to thetax bardies which the people of the Northwest hare to bear. The latest change make it quite evident that the people hare nothing to hope for from the present Federal government ia the way of a sound and common sense trade policy.

The principal teat of eligibility in a representative from Manitoba of the Northwest ahsuld be a pledge to do all possible to si-car the annihilation ol the protective system, a until this haa been accomplished, the Northwest cannot ejy the fall mtaiare of prosperity which it great natural resoarce make possible. 4D1EB1E TARIl Frt. The theory of good give rx nun is to provide "the greatest good for the greatest number," bat although the Uolted States aod Canada are largely dependent for their prosperity upen the an cm of their agricultural pepcUtion, and are Lleued ith natural resource for rgricaltural cptra tion, it it evident fiom the pre posed legislation tf either country that they do cot cart very mccH for the farming daises. The prepoatd tariff of the United States and Ctsada, vhile framed to catch the farmer' vote, will iadirtotly iatpcae upon them seriously Ueriattd cbUgaticne. Bat the condition cf the Ctnadlnn farmer v.

ill be the meet disastrous, Ltd we moat leave the Amotiein ftmer to 6ht his oan batllr, while we strive to open the eve cur own farmers to the truth. Tan Ketublican commute on way abd mean has tnb-reltted its rcmmendtiona tl.at the daty shall be raised 6a wheat, bailey, oats, Lsy, hops, potatoes, heft, cattle, bliei, dairy produce, eggs, anl everything that Cana dian farmers can expert, and by tin exportation vf whieh he has hitherto been able to meet hi liabilities. Oar own Firacce Minister haa lightened the farmers' burden by imposing increated uotii upon everything that cur farmers are likely to rcqulie. Between the upper an nth.r millstones of the two govern xeuts the farmer ia to be slowly until he learns to use the powir that the franchise places in hi hand. Ia Manitoba particularly we Siail offer.

Between railway discrimination and government tans oar farmers will have a hard row to hoe. We ars largely depetd -nt ujon Imported poik and sucked meats, a the requirements of our rapidly it creating por ula-Uon ia ia exoess cf our present producirg power. The duty cn mess pork was previously $1 20 per barrel; in fttnre it will be $3 20. Any other kind cf pork in barrels ia now to pay fG 60 a barrel instead of $2 20 a heretofore. Short-cut clear pork will in future have to pay a duty of three cent a pound instead cf one cent.

All smoked meats, bsms, bacon, as well as canned meats, will in future have to pay three cents a pound duty instead of two cents, aa increase of fifty per cent. Toe expense of importing American lard haa been iacreased in to ways, by raising the duty and imposing the same duties on the package a on the lard itself. The duty on live hors wilt in future be thirty per cent, in place of twenty per cent, and all freah treat will pay three cent a pound duty in plara of one cent. The duty on flour might be supposed to be aa offset, but it will brine neither aid nor comfcrt to the Manitoba producer. W.

W. Ogilvio, the great miller, referring to change in the floor duties, said: "The increase of daty on American flour simply removes the greatest anomaly of the Canadian protective taria. It put a stop to the collection of a higher duty on the raw ma terial than on the man manufactured article, but it doe not yet place the Canadian miller in a fair way to compete with the Americane, who are protected by an ad valorem daty on floor of 20 per cent, amounting to about a dollar a barrel. We asked the Dominion governmsnt to give us the tame protection, bat this additbn of 2a cent a barrel only give a total protection of 73 cents a barrel, aa against the American miller's dollar. Tne change place exactly the same duty on Americas Hour as is charged on American whe.r.

In 1S7S, when the Canadian crop was abort, we millers had actually to shut drn our mills and bring in American floor; if auch a con tingency aheuld occur aeaio, we ahall be able to import American wheat. This change, however, practicilly gives the Canadian miller no protection, for the reason that the Americans have their tnrocgh cat rate of freight so arranged that the Io? rate obtained by the western American miller pay three qaitteri of the present duty." It will be very consolatory to Canadian farmers to know that the prepjsed tariff will aimply enable miller to import A meri-can wheat when there la a scarcity of Canadian wheat, and price rule high. But Manitoban will feel the small fruit tax very severely. The last year or two we have had comparatively cheap fruits. In thia country where frnit it alrady aluiury, the increased tariff means almost a deprivation.

Mr. F. Hart, of Dart TackwtU, the large fruit dealers, speaking of the change on this line said: The duty on apple will increase the i rice of early apples to the consumers and cause our apple to that out of the United State. It will not do the Canadian apple growers any good. Why, the county of nxni eipDrwa more applet man were Imported for consumption in all Canada.

Then look at the way the daty on all aaiali fruit Is to be levied. Strawberries are to pay three cent a pound. A 32-box case wei ghs Co poinds gross, and the strawbesries in it weigh 32 pounds. The duty will be 96ceat on the berries and ninety-nine cents on the case, which is sent back to New York, mind. Now take peacbes, a carrier weighs altogether ninety pound and contain sixty pounds of peaches at one cent a pound the duty will be sixty cent on the peaches and thirty cent on the case.

Of courss, the rescit is that the duty is really six cent a pound on strawberries and a cent ani a half on petchea. Now the otnuumeri will have to pay this, and a one win consign fruit to tbi market in the fitce of aca duties, toete will never be any clap fruit." It would require too lauch space to adequately represent the injustice of the propped tariff to Manitoba. Bat it is satisfactory to find that the changes are not to the taste of the supporters of the government A taction of the Conservative party think they do not go far enough, and that there should hare been higher duties on flour and meat. The Maritime Conservatives, on th other hand, view the increased floor daty unfavorably, but agree to the higher meat dutiea. To the Opposition the increased impoati look rery much like an invitation to th United States to meet ut on the tariff issue by retaliation.

Should thia invitation be accepted the result will be mi nous, at least for a time, to our farmer. EDITARiaL 0TE3.

VOICE OF THE PEOPLE.

I We do not hold curselve responaib'e for tlu opin ons expressed by onr oorrexpunoenlt. IKIBITRK A CjarttUn lainrrril. To the KJitor of The Tribvke: Sir, Jn your issue of the 13th leak I notice "Knquiicr" aiks if it would be in the interests of the province that the government ahould avail itself of it borronitg poaera to advance money to settle! on improved farms, and thus reduce rate of interest that our settlett are paying. R-lative thereto, the folloaing it thu editorial opinion of Farm ard Home, a leading American agricultural ai at advanced in its current issnef "Far more simple and business like than the demand for government warehouses and loans on crops, is the call for government loans on farms at 2 per cent, interest per anunm. Bnt both tbt.se demands spring from the same source the usury practised by western and scuthern money lendcra.

The writer haa paid 2 per cent, per month in Colorado 'or money used in farming operatictt, and ktovs by hard experience what it incacs to be subject to such a tax. "Fellow feeling makes ns wondrous kind." Yet the otj etienstothe proposed loaa system are to uumertu! that it seems almost impracticably. If the government mikes a loan to' one farmer, it ahould to all farmers; and if to farmers, then to village and city pecp'e aecared by their real eatate. But all the money in the United Ststea treasury, spread out in this way, would allow too small an amount to be of any assistance. If more "money" la printed to swell these loans, the issue is at once cheapened.

Moreover, all money at present invested on resl estate sccarity would drop to 2 per cent Nothing could prevent the earnings of labor being similarly affected. Plainly the general application of the loan schema wen't work. If its use in special caaea can be ao arranged as not to be an injustice to others, lei us tee the plan. Meanwhile, the best way to get ahead is to adopt the methods by which thousands of earnest men are makioga caoe'est competence in farming to-day: They attend closely to their business, nse their brains, buy and sell to the best advantage, prodeca cheaply, raise good stock, pay cash for what they buy, or if tbey borrow do it to save disccunts on purchases, and each year are a 1 ttle better off. Ihere never was and never will 3 a royal read to wealth.

Hard work, grit, up-and-get-np-and get, determination to succeed, frugality, good, cammonsense in all actions and efforts thete are worth far mere than driblet ofxovernment aid which, like pap, is food for the weak rather than the strong. The farmer who hat thete trait it getting ahead, even in thete dayt of low pricet and competition. lie wll get ahead anyway. The man who doesn't pes seta these cnaracteristica won't succeed in farming any more than in other walks of life a government loan of 2 per cent may help him for a time, tat be will toon want more. Commox Sense.

Holmfield, April 6. "iiircnv CLACK Aud Three Campaaloas as a Qaartelte Tbelr Beautiful Mntlag. The best male quartette Chicago ever heird waa composed of the voices of four Chicago boy, and wat called the Chickering Quartette. Their tinging waa magnificent, and had they remained together they wonld have earned a national reputation. W.

H. Clark, or "Hutch" Clark, as he waa better known, wa the basao, and he was the private secretary of E. P. Ripley, then general freight agent of th Barlington road. Just now he is inging ia the revival of the Gilbert and Sullivaa operas, with ths Daff company, and he wa recently heard with that organization of the Aaiitoricm.

John E. McWade waa the baritone of the Cnick-ericg. He waa then a talesman with the wboleaale jewelry house of B. Norria and he married Mug Ac" a Somen, the soprano. Jle aai hit wife have a pleasant home in New York city, and are at present with tbe California Opera company on the Pacifia coast.

Oae of tbe tenors waa Chat. II. Clark, who waa a member of the choir of Trinity Episcopal church and a clerk ia one of the mnsic house. He married Jeannie Herrick, another cf the church choir girls, and tney are teaching music and doing church singing ia New Yoik city now. The other tenor was Charles A.

Knorr, who waa also a clerk in a local musio state, and who now baa the reputation cf being the leading oa'orio tenor in the country. All four ct tbem will be in New Yoik -ity this summer, and if they could get together they could give all of the eastern male quartette card and spades in the line. This quartette sang a number of beautiful selections at the funeral of the wife of Edwin Booth, the tragedian, which occurred aome yeait ago here at St Fault Univertal-iat church, then on Michigan avenue, near Sixteenth atreet Rsr. W. H.

Ryder, now deceased, waa the pastor then. On the occasion ef the funeral, whioh took place about 11 a.m., tbe great church wa packed with people, and the tragedian occupied a front pew in the body of the edifiee, a target for all eye which could reach him, Jim Chijholm wac there for the Journal, which wa pre paring a fall report of the ceremony, and he at at a table near the chancel rsU. The quartet had just finished "Nearer My God to Thee," and all was stilt Suddenly a harsh, rattling sound was heard. A man wa aeen foreleg hi way through the crowded aisle from the door. He wore one ef Chose etiff, board-like rubber coat such aa night-hackmea and car-diirers affect It waa raining cutaide and the coat waa dripping with water.

Its occupant heeded not the acowli on all side, but he pushed for-waid noisily, aod seemed to be intent cn reading a given point He was a Journal mas, and Jim ChisholaV chair was hi goal. He had been sent after "copy" and he intended to get it. Jim heard him firat, and wheii he aaw him he turned all color. He wa the maddest rrai in tbe church, and would hare kicked the intruder soundly I had be not been fearful of offending the proprieties. That was the last time the Chickering Quartet ever tang together in Chicago.

Perhaps the Journal min scared them off. Chicago Herald. rci EC IV A LtHBEK CAMP. WHILE working in a lumber camp year ago I caught a severe cold which settled on my lungs. 1 cot no relief nntai tried Harvard a Balaam, which cured mtes-Mrely.

I USE ROYAL CROWN SOAP. THE GENERAL DEFENDED BY LIEUT. COL. BOULTON. Ho Points Out the Services Sir Frederick Rendered to the Country.

To the Emtok, In your Issue of the 3rd inst you quo to from the iaaue of th Minneapolia Journal a flection open General Middleton in couitctioa with the now celtbratcd Bremntr far case, and our leading article in the same issue condemns him in the most unmeamred term. I feel confident your aenae oi fair play will allow me to reply through jour columns on his behalf. The Minneapolia Journal take ccca-aion to draw d-tpiraging comparisons between the way we settled our Indian cut-It elk aLd the way oy settled theirs, and taya General Mile vioild in three wecka have put it down. The facta of history will not bear out these statements, for it i no-ttrious that tbe coit of their Indian ware has been excessive In the United States, that they were acsompanied by dUasteis, mauacres, and consequent retiibution upcu the Indian race: wherea, onr firat and only outbreak, though perhaps tot cf tbe rtagni'tde, was eiftthely and promptly settled by General Middleton end ths ttfi.i-ent fores hn placed la tin field, and the most remote settler in tur large territory is now free frcm any danger from the Indians, and ptrfect confidence eVs between the settKrs of the country and their Indian wards, owing to the decisive ac'Ion of the Canadian government through General Middleton and his trcuis in quailing the outtreik, and the Uiciency cf our mounted Colicefoc it is fair, therefore, to jude results in criticizing tbe campaign itielf. Ia regard to the rtferenre made by the same journal to the appreciation vf tone of ijrtmctr's fare by Utnerit Mid dleton, I would say hat Captain lrowarJ, of the United States National Guard, who accompanied the Gatling guns, took the ahice out cf everyone to far aa lco'irg i concerned, and where tcr I got hit education it waa thorough; and I do not say this in disparagement tf Capta'n Howard, who wa a gallant ciEoer aad understood what it wat to take hit fnn out cf thu campaign at well at the knock, but I lay it to allow no Phariaa7c.il comparisons to be dratrn by your coatemjorary to the disparagement of General Middleton.

If he erred in the way be dealt with Biemner's fur, it was cn error of the bead and not of the art More sympathy hat been cxterded to Brem nrr than lie it deserving of. lid allied aim-self with l'oundmaker, and be wai aming the half-breeds who captured those tram-port teams that werebiijgmg sarp'itt into Colonel Otter, and made pthonera tf the unprotected teamtters, and by that prevented other teamsters from venturing upon the trip, thereby jennardiztne the safety of I the country and had not General Midileton put a decisive stroke to the taccei of the cu' break thia act alone would have been productive of most serious results by cutting off auppliet from an important point, and inspiring confider.ee into the rebellious Indian So far aa the looting was concerned, there are these facta to be considered: Kiel took sieaaicn cf tho stores at Duck Lake and moved them into Batoche, and also took poaaeesion cf the atorea in Batoche two or three in number in addition to a lot of Indian erppliet of pork and fliur. When the trcopt captured Batoche, after four dayt of and fatigning work, with the less of many officert and men killed and wounded, tbe stores and houses, that no owner remain. -d to guard, were occupied by the troopa, wheie they camped for the night, aome of the men and teamsters being put to trench work to protect one new posiUon. Geceral Middleton, whose order were very strict prohibiting looting, might have put the rest of the force on aentry to guard each hoaee ana me property lying about; but would it have been fair or reasonable to put the tired troops on to guard property that had been seized by Riel, and had been used for a month or tix weeks past to eupport himself and his mea Batoche himself, who had the most valaable lot of fata, had left theaa to their fate aome two months previoct'y, ao at not to ba mixed np in the rebellien which he knew was being plotted.

His furs were lest, and his loss haa been repaid by the government Sa far at the capture of Batoche ia concerned, I do not think any troops, flushed with victory, harassed and fatigued by a hard day'a work, even behaved with more tenderness and consideration for the women and children that were congregated there, aa well those who regained in their homes, than was accorded on that evening, atd I did ciujjra iubuiiivb ii any one claiming property that waa deprived of it. We marched to Prince Albert on the day after and by General Middleton order I escorted back two or three wagon loadt of provisions for the subsistence of those who had the day before been oar enemies, but who had now returned to their hornet assured of protection by the general. The same farther west, at Frog Lake, at Fort Pitt, and other places, the atorei were nlzed ly the Indiana and thousands of dol-hit worth of fnn carried eff and hid in the woods; tome of these were recaptured. There are those now in oar midst who be-dittle in the safety of to-day the work the troops had to perform, but I can aay that it coat the country 130 Uvea on bath tiJet in addition to aa equal numher of wounded and that every aoldier risked hi own life with theira lor the country' take, and I can farther that to the guidance of Genera Middleton and the esprit of the officers and men under him ia due the fact that we had cot a lingering Indian man left on ourhanda to the detriment and cost of the whols country and the safety of the Isolated settlement in the territories. I it fair now to condemn the General who planned and uccesafully execattd the oampaign which effectually restored peace to the country all on account cf a few lure taken froaia man in open rebellion Youia truly, A.BorLTOs.
