The great event of the past week in tin- Dominion Parliament has been the debate upon Mr. McCarthy's bill 1 1 d i *w.iy with the French language in the Northwest. To a close ob- Hcrver it is a matter of wonder whether Mr. McCarthy was really sincere in introducing a bill which purported to do away with a dual language in the Northwest, but which aimed at wiping out the French tongue from llrilish America. Mr. McCarthy must have known that a sense of proverbial I'M iti.-'h fair play would prevent Canadians enforcing the absolute n. of tLc English tongue within our borders. He must have known, too, that such coercive niuas urcs would have militated destruc- tively in the settling of the great Northweht. It was understood before tbe pur port of Mr. McCarthy bill was made known that it simply aimc'l at doin ;iway with a fecoml i,jjiri<il languagt in the Northwest ; that it did not aim at the destruction of free speech in whatever tongue was most con Venn nt to the people ; but it uow appears that it embraced e\en that This being tin c.ixe, it is not surpris niX that our let; i slalom have refusei to countenance HO grave a blow. <)i e pecnlarity of the debate was that the. l-'ir i.i'ii iiKiuhcrs left tin liUtlc nustly iu the hands of the I'.n^lish p.-akiii>; eleini nt to decide* only two or tln\e French members protesting ax'H.-t tlie bill.

I ri nch Ian- Xiui^e of itsi-lf is a menace to Canada. \V, In !i, \t Dial the l.nxhsh tongiu , haMii^' MI ^riul a pri -p-jiiderauco as it l. i.. will ev.-iitiully abdorb the I ii nch, as it is fast doing even now, and that llnnl>v will come a peneefnl hulutiou of the question. I'-ut wo aUi beln \e thiit sliould the stirring up ol racial strite be continued as it lias i n liming the past two years it wil have the effect of solidifying the I i < nrli |n-n|i!: into a oompaet wholt wliich will bo much more difficult o dissolution than it otherwise would U Noli! the rnxc of (in.it I'.ritain :ui iVales. Tin; former found it impositi ble u few yeais ago to coerce the lat ii r into diMCiudiii),' the Welsh l- mid Rave up thn nttenipt. Yi-t sh, is x lining to-day by nr.tri ful tiicans wi 1 1 sit.- i-iiuld not Kiiiu by coeiciv i in iisurcs. At nil events it would h n |oor iwlicy, at this early stage <>! Canadian growth, to intorposo ob- blades to In r i]e\rlo]inient and pro Cress hy ohli^inx natives of other eoiiutiies,' who ill Kind to iimku their In me umon^Pl iih, to discard their natlxe tongue iinmodiately upon arrival and adopt ours. It would !> an unhccossary hurdsbip, for the object Would be certain U be gained through time, just as time and ex- pediency would cause such foreigners to conform tg our laws and our cus- toms. Let the French retain iheir lang aaje so long as they desire to re- tain it. T!mv will uudonbtodly in tine omle t J flnd oat that to become a success/ul p*o^ v ia Cvuda, with % *. ' ' ncircimisrribed liberty, they must peak the Kujjlisli laiiuua^c; and they ic \vi-y f.ist coining to a knowledge' f that fact, Ui course if, us was at rst supposed, the bill uuder discussion imply aimed nt doinj; away with 'rendi in the Noitliwi->>t as an official aiif-uagc, tl.c aspect would be hanged, and we would Bay it was a ueans towaids tlie desired end; but Huh r tin' circumstances wo fear that Ir. McCarthy's bill lias been pro- active of more evil than good. A great many of our farmers arc in lebt and they arc likely to be ther* while they have to pay such enormous nun-st. lu no instance should the l iiitcix-bt exceed live }>er cont. It was easier to pay ten per cent, years ago thau to pay five now. Salaries ud interest must come down to cor- respond with the times. If not, the mev. d nit 11 will hold all the land and w- rthull only be on par with Suropcan couutiics. Can our farm- ers see t!.e hand-wrilinjj on the wall ? iV Into you elect these millionaires to 'arliament how can you expect them o make laws to better your condition? .1 is everyone for himself ; we want ariners there to represent our iiiter- sts and to make laws equally just to .11. Kx. It is quite distressing to read the speeches of certain members of the .it form party in the Dominion I'arha- iieut. One enthusiastic ]i< former will riu to hi* feet and shout Liuist If loarne for a change in the tariff whereby fanners may reap the beue- it. Tlien, so soon as tbe Govern- m ul has intimated its willingness uu' mt( iitiou of luci tin;,' the matt, r, another Ki former will rise up in righteous indignation and protest ^t tiiii "eternal tinkering with the tariff," and that, too, with the idea that IIM sublime ridiculousness is not noted by the world at large. Toj-onto lias lost her magnificent university. It is now a pile of ruim d walls and cinders.
