% ‘ The Milverton Sun THORSDAY, DECEMBER 14, 1899. Mr. Greenway came to grief the first time he ever tried’ to carry an election without the aid of Hon. Joe Martin. Oom Tom Greenway has been driven from his laager to the veldt by Veld- heer Macdonald who, with» his other witlanders, will. soon have_ possession of the volksraai from which all Toukho-bers will be excluded. General Gatacre, failing to profit.by Gen. White's experience in trying to ‘operate against’ the Boers single-hand- ed with a small foree, has met a similar ‘but more humiliating fate: He was lediwith a force- of 2,000 men by treacherous guides into a snare where he was immediately set upon by a force of 6,000 Boers well equipped and well armed. The British. general pat up a stubborn resistancebat was final- ly overwhelmed and compelled to retire, not, however, before losing over 600 men in killed, wounded and taken ‘prisoners, His loss would undoubted- ly have been heavier but for the excel- lent work done by the artillery which saved his force from utter rout. These blanders are extremely tiresome and vexatious. but;they cannot alter the final result.of.the war. About tbat there need be-no misgivings. The time. will come’ though it may be months] away. when the-whele Bograrmy will be ciushed Jikean egg shell by the]; superiority of British arms. The Present reverses to British powers may bp, considered brilliant achievements for the enemy but they are merely the} . sheet lightnings of history lighting up the present epoch of the struggle with- ont exercising any influence on the dgstined end. ‘He ctebbing. aftray that recently teok plice at the Central, Prison when young Htghes, the prison messenger, a.boy of 16 years,.was nearly done to death by a young man named Cardinal, a,contirmed criminal,serving a fifth term though not yet over 25 years. of. age, hs revealed the fact thay the machines of justice do not work sosmoothly .,as they might. The boy, though serving | aaterm, was guilty of no crime ovher than being found in the. company, o! hijs father who was arrested at Lindsay while making for the lumber woods in}, company with-his son in,seek of work. Being found without visible meang.of support” his ease came under thestriet ee Qntario vagrant law and he -was con sequently committed for a term in the “Central” for the,crime of being poor, ‘Phat his son might nob) stray away} j7 fram him while, he, was. serving his tinge, he. asked to, have him also com: myjuted which:wasdone. The ,magis- ‘trate, however, must have a peculiar idea of hisduty.to brand a boy as a criminal merely 2% the request of bis father, , T¥e Toronto, Globe and Satue-| Nightbavetaken thematter up and urge a reorganization. or, revision of our present code of criminal laws which | g9_ du, not sufficiently distinguish, between | youthful and confiemed criminals. ‘The result of the Maniacha elections has pat the leader of the-Gpposition in possession.of a jpajority of'ive which| next week, in Gimli and Brephia. may be ingreasedor rednoed- by the elections to. bes held »in, Gimli- and Dauphin which are yet. totake place. ‘Phe Greenway.government. has--gone the way that many.a.capuble.. govern- tment bas gone, before when. great dissues c2ase to agitate the minds. of the people... The-cases.of Sire Rpbert Peel and William Pitt may, be- cited. Mr. Greenway wok hold.ofthe power when government in the prairie (pyovince was in a chaotic state. pad he brought order out of confusion... He bas given it. twelve years of honest, capable administration, defending and ‘promoting 1s interests, both cammer- cial and industrinl, and, secured. it| ¥ Repeater a time of religious andraze dissensions. He has done much for the farmers in the way of promoting railway competition. In fact, he Fantagonized those powerful concerns who, no doubt, contributed very large- ly to his downfall. The outcome of the election shows that there is no grati- tude in polities. However, Greenway’s | ™ dpeosition may be no loss to Manitoba as Hon. Hugh John Macdonald ap- pears to be a practical man and if he inherits even but a portion of the ad- a = oye ea = thei ministrative abilities of his illustrious father any government censigned to his care willbe carried on wisely and well. The opportunity is open to him in Manitoba to show the mettle that he is composed of and a majority of for all working purposes. It is hoped that he may ,be one of the formost statesmen to exert his influence in controlling the great raiJway corpora- tions who take great grants of public money and offer no compensation in return.
