U $ d [d Â¥ & i6 h U § M Â¥ t B u Y #by | f 1 1 dusgatio®n tC CbeOttawe Cimes hramiug Noew ‘smm Pot Sule A recent article in the London Timet hl| been a lned upon by the Globe and Montreal / Heraid as affording evideoce that impartial apeciators of the events which have taken place in Canada, in connection with the re. cont disturbances In®the North Woest, have come to the conclusion that the Ministers of the Dominijon are deserving of condemnation tor their Red River policy, and eapecially for lbouu-mdthlwhynmy,‘ #For a wonder," says the Gloly, "the Times is coming to a correct estimate of the state of affairs in this Cabada of ours.* _ It is seldom that any distum of tho «Fimes is accopted by cither of our contemporaries, and notwithâ€" --.l.lhoduN.aoflth“- ing "a mere party affair of the matter,"* we entertain litt‘a doubt that nothing but the bilndness of party seal has prevented the opâ€" position pross from acknowledging the corâ€" mdlbthumby.oh‘vflnl 'b.d-llubnv--dn..unuoh a cortect opinion of the conduct of the Do= minion Government during the whole of the Red River dificultics. _ Toat individual was Karl Granville. His Lordsbip was, as in well Md“hflhflb“&m @overnment for not making the payment to the Hudson‘s Bay Company on the appolnted day, and in the course of the negotiations which ensued, bis Lordship was anxlons to mke the best terms in his power for Eagland. Not the least of the obstacles with which the Cnnadian Government has had to contend during the very serions dificultics by which thoy bave been beset ha« been the course twken by the Opposition both in Parliament and through the press. It must be obvious ummuwuuvfl reforence to the North West question have not been identical, indeed. to some extent they hare boeen antagonistic,. The avowed policy of the present Imperial Cabinet is to withâ€" hoid military aid from the colomies. Kven if the cireumstances connected with the Red River had been deemed exceptional, !t would have been dificult, if not impossible, for the Imperial Government to apply a different rule applied to .New Zealand. ‘The duty of the Casadian Government was to act in the in« tereats of Canada, and it was clearly aot the interest of Canada to pay the Wudson‘s Bay Company, and as a consequence to accept the transfer ot the North West Territory in mid= winter. The injustice of the article in the Times was promptly pointed out by Sit John Rose, whoso vigilance in defending Canadian lhtercets entitles him to the gratitude of every twus friend of the Dominion. According to the Glebe, however, Yit John Rose‘s argument # comes out for the Arst time." We cannot umumwn the Gioke of the conduct of the. Dominion Govern« ment, but we may venture to hope that it will be out of the power of that journal to mislead the public. Bir John Rose‘s argu= ment was that * if the transfor had been # compliated, tho insurgents might have = argued that the formation of a provi« @stonal QGovrernment was a nscessity, "and afforded the only protection of the setâ€" "tloment from anarchy." That this was a sound argument there can be no doubt. At the time that the Canadian Government deâ€" oided on their course of action, vis. : the lat. ter end of Nov. 1809, the Government of the Mudron‘s Bay Company wes stiil scknow= ledged, and it was simply impossible for any Canadian Governor to get admission into the tarritory prior to the opening of the naviga= tion. At present, however, we are principally | ) concerned in proving the incorrectness of the | 1 Ulobe‘s assertion that Bir John Rost‘s argu= | b mont was new. What we would ask the Globe | * is the meaning of the following passage in the | ! Report of the Privy Council, dated 16th Dec., | 1809 ;â€"=" It is better to have the semblance of | ! «a Government in the country than none at | wall, While the issue of the prociamation | * # would put an end to the Government of the | ‘ #HWudson‘s Bay Company, it would ast sub» | / # stituts Government by Canade therefor. | @Such a Government is pbysically impossible ....mwwb.un.uu » a atate of anaroby and confusion would ensue, wand a legal status mizht be given to any # Government de jacto formed by the inhabl= # tants for the protection of their livyes and " property," The truth is Sir John Rose‘s ua«â€" answerabie defencs of the Canadian Goveraâ€" meont in the Times was entirely based on the official documents in his possession, | and which are «qually in possession of the Canaâ€" dian public. The Times was but impor» teotly Informed of facts when 1t wrote the article with which the Mlobe has been 1o cuptivated. But Karl Granville, who had every single document in his possession, declared in the Mouse of Lords, as his de. Uborate opinion, that * The Ministry of the * Dominion seeme to me to have acted during * this yeas with slnguiar judgment, decision "and conciliation, to have been rowarded by @ the ancvess they appoear to have Attained." The correapondence between the two Govâ€" \ erameonts affords abundant proof that this tos Umony by Karl Granville was not caused by any subserviency on the part of the Caoa dian Government to Win Lordsbhlip‘s views, KoWw ADVEKTISEMENTS : s« New Extablishmentâ€"â€"C. P. Dorton Un the contrary, Karl Qranville seeme to have become courinced, and not without ro= lnuctance, that the Ministers of the Dominion, who were on the spot, acted not only in per» feot good faith, but in the Interest as well of the Empite as of the Dominion. WLAM, we would ask the (Globe, can justity the accusa« ton of * sharp practios* ? What concelvable object could the Canadian Government have had in postponing the payment of the money other than that the interests of the Dominion rendered that course expedieat 1 ‘The money had been remitted, and was |ying in the hands, of the Ascal agonts of the Dominion. It was not removed, and it was from the Arst avowed that Canada had no Inteation of withdrawâ€" ing from the bargain ander which that money was to be paid. The (lobe persoveres in the utterly absurd suggestion, which he has roâ€" winter, through the United Btates territory “-MM‘“"“ olficer, such as Sir Hastings Doyle, without a single soldier, with a view of terrifying Into submission men who had already succeeded peatediy thrown out, that the proper course would have been to have sent in the dead of euurspay, AMay :e, 1910 ~~ J t & / *mf%@‘ Th « AMARP PRAVTICE #0, Uparkse Street» whbt a«apbe l1 whatâ€" it bad but recently Those actually a<nt azoe referred 1 wisrmble abortlon."

No one was more prominent than Mr. MeDougall, in fastoning on the Ulobe and lts courcepondents, tho responsibil« Ity thr the dimwontent against the Canadian Government, which it must be admitted proâ€" vailed very extenaively in the Roed Rive: set> Hement, not onuly among the Freuch, but amovg the English : halfâ€"breods, aod the ome ployess of the Mudsons Bay Company. That dincuntent was wholly without cause, unless it be true that some suboriluato oflcers of the wurreying party gave offence to tho «sttors The Glebs‘s syacial wission is to dod falt with overy act of the Domiuion Gorornment, and as a matter of course the temporary act for the Gorerament of the t riitory was iitened upon as a ground fot imputing to Ministers an. igtention of Ignoring the wishes of the in« habitants of the tariteory, The Government wizely determined not to legislate perma= nently until they could have the asdvice of Mr. McDougal!, after consualiation with the lead= log inhabitants of the tersitory of all clasics. Mr. MeDougaill‘s instructions framed at a time when thete was no susplcion of dislogalty amoog the settiers are of a most liberal charâ€"= acter, and but for the unfortunate events which followed his premature assumption of the Goverament on the 1st ot Decomber last, the new: constitution probably have been framed at Fork a;:‘wunou tWW Â¥For the temposary ast, and for all the pro= sesedings, up to the period of Mr. MeDougall‘s proglamation, that gentleman is as fully 14« spomsible as any ol his lormer colleagues. His spe¢ial grievance has been the alleged treach* erous conduct of the Honu. Mr. Howe ; and the opposition members of Purliament and press have boen but too ready to join with him in his most unjustiAable assanlt on a colâ€" *mumnmmmm wine than with the most eative youd Laith Mr. MeDougall does not soom to have objectâ€" «d to Mr. Hows‘s proposed visit to the Med River Settlement, which under tho circume stances it wa» most natuial that he should de» aire to pay, in order to make himeclt acquaint od with a torritory tor the Government of which he was about to be especially responal, ble. It has never been suggested that Mr MHowse could hare had any couceivable motire in exciting discontent among the inhabitants of the Red River: Suttisment, Moe Amad on his arrival that there was a toud betworn what is known as the Canadian party awÂ¥ the old sotilers, including the omployees of the Hudâ€" souns Bay Company . He found, morsover, mat ‘the flormer were charged with having treated the old sottlers, and particularly ladies of mixed Indian and white blood with contumely, Under these citcumstances Mr. Howe most prudently abâ€" stained from all interference in these disputes, and by mixing freely with the settlerm and treating them with courtesy, he sucgeeded in convincing them that he did not share such lealings as wore attribated, whether Justly or unjustly to the recent Canadian immigrants. Mr. Howe has been blamed for not addressing the people in public. Mad he committed such an indlucretion he would have justly expoged _ himselft . to . consure. Me know that the Guovernor was on his way to the territory, and he naturally left to him the task of explaining: bis own policy. HMe tound that there were strong prejudices against Mr. MeDougall. That such prejudicos exlated, before Mr. Howe visited the settlement, theore is not the least doubt ; but they had been inâ€" stilled, not.by Mr. Howe, but by the Globe and its emiesarion, Ur, Howe Ad all in his power to dispel them, and thero has never been a particle of evidence offered to prove that MUr.

Had Mr. MeDougall adopted the course which a man of ordloaury prodence and Juigment would hare taken, there cannot be a doubt, that the anticipations of the Canadian Government would havre been reallsed; He was specially adrised on 30th October by Governor MeTarish, " to remain at Pembles # aud awalt the issus of conciliatory argotiaâ€" * tions," and again on the Oth NMovember be was warned that the attempt to come la "might be productive of the most dizastrous conse= # quences, and further, was adrised that in the * opinion of Governor McTarish and the *« Conncil his sarly return to Canades is not * only ensential for the pesce of the country, # but also advimable in the lnterest of the o+. u tnblishment in the fatws of the Cana~â€" pany, but to the assmaption of the Govers. ment by Canads.* Again this.is not a question of mouey it may be ons a«gain, * I shall remailn here antll 1 hear ofâ€" # fclally of the tranater of aathority * 1n his lntter of the 14th, to the Secretary of States he smys : * 1. expected to heasr by this time = that the trunster had been agreed to, and * the Imperial Orderâ€"inâ€"Council passed. 1 U I do uot receie netiee of this order lon a @ tow days 1 shall be much cmâ€" = burssassed in my plass, sai the # lowlure of the Insurrection will be embold = ened and strongthoned, They undurstand @ pertvetiy that 1 have ao logal authority to # ut or commund obedience till the Queen‘t * proclamation is imsued," and yet a few days Inter, without any further information, Mr. _ MeDougall _ prociaimed _ bimaeellt Uorernor of the Territary ; and laued a comâ€" ‘ mluion to Col.

Of course, the reguliar soldlers of the United States are very much scattered, and the militia of the borâ€" der Btatss may be unwilling to put down those ditarimwrs of that barmony which sbould preâ€" vail btween people on fiendly terms. The proclamatien of President Grant does not hinder men, who are superior ‘to law, from committing murder, but it makes evrery act of killing Ulegal, and reduces® those taken with asmse in their hands to the condition of pirates who may be dealt with without mercy, . By his proclamation President Grant paye a cerâ€" tain degreo of respect to Gregt Britala, "Great! Britain demunds respect and must at least have that.
