Contemptuous neglect, broken promises, and no Tfce question arises as to who is responsible for this shameful treatment We should be glad , td characterize it in milder terms, but the case doesn't admit of it ResT ponsibility in a matter of this kind is hard to fix, and we are driven to the conclusion that it must rest be-1 tween.our member, Mr. Davin, the government itself, and the Minister of Public Work* Mr. Davis has assured us, and tbe people publicly on more than one occasion, we be- belieVe, that he has done every*, thing in his power, by personal and written solicitation, to get the Department to move in the matter, f 'j knd that Sir Hector Langevin had 'more than once promised him thai the bridge would be built Having this* assurance from Mr. Davis, we must absolve him from blame. Is it the fault of the government itself f We are sometimes tempted to think so. We are occasionally inclined to believe that the govern- ment never intended to build a j r bridge at Macleod, and that the appropriations Iwere put in the estimates for the sole purpose of keeping us quiet Well, they have done so for three or four years, and if is was the intention they, have n fairly successful. But it is e the farce was ended. Either let the appropriation be spent or let it disappear from the estimates. It may be, however, (and we shall *be glad to be convinced of it) that the government acted in good faith in appropriating these monies for a bridge here, and that tbe I reason why we are still without it lies in Sir Hector Langevin's neglect, incapacity or utter indifference. External and internal' evidence alike go to show that this is the correct view. We have Sir Hector's writ- a * ten assurance to the Board of Trade that the Department would take prompt action as soon as certain conditions were removed. These conditions were removed two years aga We havs Mr. Davis' assurance that Sir Hector repeatedly promised him that the bridge would bis built, and finally we have Sir Hector's own promise to the editor of this paper, no lon0- r ago than last fall, that he would 1 jjiye tbe neoesfcsry instructions, f mi1 that operations could be commenced im- j- immediately - r dent supporter, no less than in the I minoril i interest of the people of the district showiV The press); voted positio) bantu visory mon sei visory j which elected him, Mr. Da,vis would be justified in entering**' firm, and dignified remonstrance against the further continuance, of this policy of indifference and inactivity. And this protest should be addressed, not to Sir Hector Langevin, but to Sir John J Macdonald, w*ho, what- w ever hia faults, cannot be accused . confide of being indifferent to the interests to be al of thi party, and ijlW government of which be is the head. J A . . J * * Having some faint hopes that the course we have indicated above might be productive of good results, and believing that, throwing entreaty and petition aside, a firm and decided stand on the part of our representative would have a good chance of getting our bridge built, we would respectfully submit that now, if ever, is the time for such action. .Two poor crops in succession bave impoverished our fanners. There has been no iio* migration, no public wc ks, railroad building, ;or anything to put money in circulation, and it generally conceded that the present winter and next spring will see thp hard est times in the history of Macleod, Such being the case,, the expenditure of the money nefcessary to build the bridge would lie a distinct booh in that it would tide i af good many over the hard times, besides inspiring people generally with jthe hope that the winter of their dis- ' L content would not be everlasting, ' ' W couhcil has' been clearly uring the late session. iniin Act provides ex- t ull money shall be theSAssembly cm the proof I'the Lieut-Governor; y . 9 iden the advice of his Ad- inJl, and it is only com- tof insist that the Ad-j have the M ie Assembly in order ive the llieut-Gov- hich the 'Assembly minority able to THE SECOND ADDRESS f * :/ Y Y a *' A .-' 4 h z k I i . -t / / ''- . I - I -' With theee facta in view, we ere compelled to believe that it ie ' to Sir Hectbr Langevin, end to him lone, that we ere indebted for tlie present situation, and if we ere eorrect, it U but right that the government of which be is a promt- aent member, ahould be told in language not capable of being wu- nnderatood, how bia action, or inaction, is effecting ite position in the minds of the people of this district Of thorns men do not gather figs, nor of a bramble bush gather thay grapes, end in ell friendliness we wool* point oot tbat the government cannot sow a -*top ot broken promiees, neglect and indifference, end expect to reap a rich harvest of votes at a general -lection We believe that in the W eet; of ih* government of wh hb wssSelected en indepen- ' . the Free Press of the 4th December publishes a statement made by Dr. Brett, leader of the Advisory Council, when interviewed by a Free Press reporter., While not inclined to attach any particular importance to Dr. Brett's statements, some of his reported remarks are worthy of a passing notice, as laying down in plain terms the position assumed by the Advisory Council. I. is satisfactory to learn that Dr. Brett docs not believe that the Council is responsible to the Assembly. The position taken by (ihe Council shows, of course, that they do not hold themselves res- ponsible to anyone. Btit from time to time throughout- the sessions we have read reports of speeches made by Dr. Brett and his colleagues in which they declared their belief that theoretically at least, tbe Council must, be responsible to tbe Assembly in respect of all territorial matters. It has always been a di fficult matter j for, the average reader to understand how Dr. Brett and his colleagues could propound such a theory, and at the,same time continue to control the expenditure of local money, and make territorial appointments, contrary to the plainly expressed wish of a majority of the repre- W w sw sentatives, of the people. As we have said, it is satisfactory to learn that the Advisory Council consider themselves an irresponsible body. We would call tjhe attention of ciur readers to the 0-qcpnd address of the Assembly published in this issue. The address shows conclusively that control of the funus is clearly vested in the Assembly, and that that control is to be exercised through an Advisory Council possessing the confidence of the Assembly. The old Northwest Council bat with the Lieut-Goverpop and voted tba money and mautt appointments. The Assembly sits apart from the Lieut-Governor, and a selected number df members, that iii, the Advisory Council, are chosen to act as a medium between His Honor and the Assembly. The Advisory Council advise' His Honor how the money ie to be spent, and His Honor submits the fin wnal propositions of his Council for the approval of the Assembly/ Unless the Advisory Council can command a' majority in the Assembly, it is useless for the Lieut-Governor to take their ad- rice The resuli of the Lieut- Governor taking the advice of a A.
