II leader.” , of your article. \Vhat I have done during . my eight years in the legislature Iam : quite willing to leave to the Conservatives of Eldon. Carden and Dalton. They at all events are frank enough to tell me that Sln'te confederation, I was the only repre- sentative who secured for this section justice and proper recognition at the hands of the government of the day, in the matter of colonization road funds. As to my partisanship, allow me to mention that of the more than ten thousand dollars ap- propriation on roads and bridaes during my term. in the above townships, over one half was expended by conservative over- seers appointed by me. Do you call this partisanship? I call it practical indepen- dence, not lip independence. Compare it. if you like. with your ideal independent parliamentarian who told his friends in convention at Coboconk that “no grit would ever raise a spade on the Trent Valley canal," and to do him justice, I am told, he. for once, kept his word. It is true our party may be doomed and defeated in their leader. I am quite con- scious of my many imperfections and shortcomings, still 1 can assure you I have no ambition to shine with the same ‘ lustre as Mr. Hughes, ad I have some consolation that in the recent past North Victoria has not been very exacting, and besides I was elected leader in open day by a large and representative convention which, unlike some North Victoria con- ventions, was not packed. Personally, I have no desire to re-enter politics. Finan- cially I have heretofore been a loser. and I ’1 A‘A‘ If I can satisfy 11 make for you at £36 monev.

I am now in the field on the call of duty, because I am confident I can be of service to my fellow electors of North Victoria 111 this way. About thirty years ago, Eldon, Bexley, Laxton and Somerville granted large bonuses to the Nipissing railway. We were promised a service of two trainsa day, each way, and a certain number of stations. agents and operators, We have‘ now only one train a day each way and half the agents promised. But, air, the remarkable feature of this transaction is that there is not the scratch of apen ex: tant to show what service we in Eldon were to receive for our $44,000 bonus, and RIDINGâ€"DID NOT WISH TU GO IT'TO TH": CONTESTâ€"HAS LOST MONEY IN POLITICSâ€"THINKS HE \‘JILL Gb'l‘ BACK THE RAILWAY BONUSES OF THE NORTH. : Late Member for West Victoria writes of some 1‘.’I.-;tâ€"_=rs. I understand other municipalities are in a i similar fix. The explanation is that the late Duncan McRae. who was reeve Of Eldon and M.P.P. for North Victoria. was also a contractor on the NipiSsing railway and thus the interests of this unfortunate riding were early sacrificed to the railways if we had a written agreement with the Nipissing we could now say to the G.T.R., “Give us the service promised or give us back our bonus," and undoubtedly' we would get back our bonus, as it would not pay them to continue the service. ‘Thanks to the treachery or stupidity of our reprec sentative thirty Wears ago Eldon gave $44,000 for ax, and I venture to pre. dint unless. -_....e determined action is 101'.

In my nomination speech I found no; fault with Mr. Hughes for voting against his party, but 1 charged him with sacrific- ing his party, his principles andeverything else in sight, even to the section men, for the aggrandizeinent of the railway com- panies. Mr. Hughes accuses me of button- holing electors and of urging them to vote for me. He is certainly misinformed. I urge them to vote for themselves, for their own interest. for their own pockets. 1 can assure Mr. Hughes I shall do my best for i an honorable campaign. I will not travel a free “variety show" in the riding. I will not deal in canal tickets. I will not even peddle my photo. I purpose confining m y- self to legitimate discussion of the ques- ‘ tions of the day, but more particularly our local railway question compared to which all other issues are but as dust in the balance. The taiifi‘ question is now on the shelf and if the Conservative party were in power to-morrow, they would make no changes. I submit then that the Conser- vatives of North Victoria when they meet and put a candidate in the field should weigh carefully our local railway question yuqâ€" ‘u-_ v- and in View of. its vital importance should allow partylsm for the present to lie in abevance and permit an advocate of this policy to be elected by acclamation.

Bullick of the east ward, who is himself an Irishman, is this week entern taming his brother Robert who arrived from the old sod on Saturday night. Mr. Bullick is manager of the estate of Lord Louth, eight miles from Dublin city, and has the intelligence, activity and good nature, together With the facility of utterance that characterizes the sons of the shamrock. i In a brief conversation with 'him some | points of interest were gleaned. .‘ 793- Regarding his journey Mr. Bullick said; “I sailed in the Parisian. She is a capital boat to travel by. I believe new boilers ' and engines have lately been put in'that give her increased speed. At any rate she made a record trip. The weather was a fine although at times we had good stifi‘ winds that piled the water up in errand ‘style. A false keel has been added to the Parisian that makes her very steady even ' when running "cross seas." For a day or two we were close to icebergs. One of them was a magnificent sight. An im- mense mass,’ it towered high above the rest while its icy sides reflected the blaze of sunlight While we were near these masses the weather was very cold. All the wraps we could put on did not make us comfortable. Coming into the Gulf of St. Lawrence we saw the whales blowing. As many as thirty of these monsters shot columns of water into the air within sight of our ship. From Gaspe to Quebec the country is very wild and poor although along a won- derful river and having many features altogether new to a resident of the old country. The trip frcm Quebec to Mont- real was magnificent. There. I believe is? the finest scenery in the world. The country stretching away from the river seems to be fertile and well-farmed. I was most impressed with that part of my trip. Montreal isaareat city. In many respects it surpasses the capitaiof Ireland. Its docks and streets and business places all give the impression that it is a commer- cial city of the first order. Their system of electric trams is the finest I ever saw. I visited their fire department. It was a ' revelation. Men in uniform were sleeping " in their bunks and I was informed that in . seven seconds after an alarm is rung, the . fire brigade is on the street. L-A. Ill V II. nnâ€"v _ 7 I was disappointed by the country bet- ween that city and here. Why that stretch between Montreal and Port Hope is worse than the wilds of Conymarra and they are the wildest in Ireland ! I should say men have to work hard and endure hardships in that country for a verv poor living wmâ€" the out crons were not more than a in that country for a verv poor unug Why the oat cr0ps were not more than a couple of feet in height. 10 Ireland they grow as high as a man's head." [Of course I it is hard for a Canadian to understand}‘ how Mr. Bullick got such an impression of apart of the country that certainly con tains large areas of the very fineetagri- cultural lands in Canada. The dry season likely accounts for the short straw. 1 SPEAK XX“ 01" lREI.A.\°l). When comparing Montreal with Dublin. Mr. Bullick said a thing about the latter city that will be a surprise to Canadians and perhaps an encouragement to those who respond to the tax-collector's demand for 25 mills on the dollar. “Dublin,"said hc,“isa bankrupt city. Itis mortgaged to the last shilling. Some time ago an eil'ort was made to include the townships near by. in the corporation, but the mea- sure was thrown out by the House of Lords and properly so. The object- was only to bleed those municipalities and try to improve the fortunes of the city. Its rate is ten shillings on the pound, while that of the townships is only two. Dublin has come to that condition through muni- cipal corruption. Jobbery and boodling among the members of the city council has been rife for years. Everything is farmed out. Every man is burdened with hangers- ‘ on who compel him when elected to pro- cure them iobs. These evils are fast ' bringing Dublin to an impossible condi- ’ tion and nothing but the mast vigorous ' reforms can save the capital from financial disaster. The debt 18 £2,000,000, and as l ' have said, nobody would lend a shilling on the city’s bonds.” Speaking of the social conditions that ‘ prevail among the people generally, Mr. E Bullick said: “The tenants are prosper, 1 ous. There is no complaining and no t hardship. The question of rents is praC‘ tically settled since the courts have been 1 given power to decide in case of dill‘erence between landlord and tenant. If the ‘ tenant thinks his rent is too high he and his witnesses are heard as are the landlord and his. Then the court sends outtwo commissioners to value the property. If either party is not satisfied with the find- ' an appeal can be lodged With an higher court clear up to the Queen's Bench. When the rent has been agreed upon it stands at that amount for fifteen years. At the end of that time either party can raise the issue again. Home Rule is a dead issue. We have all the home rule we need or want. At. one time it was comparatively popular in many sections, but Gladstone is gone and his favorite idea has died with him. It has, ' however, been used as a great money. making scheme by the Irish leaders' Servant girls in the States contributed to huge funds that went into the hands of men like Tim Healy who never gave any account of them, but who from being poor men have become shareholders in every important Irish monetary concern. But that has come to an end and the Home Rule agitation as a national issue will not again be heard of." Mr. Bullick will sail for home on Septem- ber 14th.
