In every possible way Another curious phase of Conservative tactics occured in the House of Commons in connection with this Pembina Railway Bill. In replying to the remarks of Mr. Msckenzio in reference to the action of the Senate, Sir John A. Mucdonsld took oc- easion to snimadvert upcn the corrupt‘ bargain, us he called it, which the Govern- ment had entered into with Mr. Smith, insinuating that the contract of running the Pemhine branch had been given to Mr, Smith as reward for his senile sumo”. The "eormpt bargain" has no existence save in the disordered imagination of the leader of the Oppoeition. A short time ago this choice piece of scandal appeared in the columns of is local organ pended forth with s great air of wisdom end now , it makes its sppenrsnce on the floor of the l house. Mr. Smith repudistcd the charge. I and said that it was utterly without {oun- t daticn.snd " the same time stated that l he had never accepted or asked t for my favours from this or the 1 previous Government for himself or sny v one else. This was the signs] {Or one of ii he most disgraceful scenes which could I: be imagined," will be seen elsewhere. tt The hset is that no srnngoment hes yet tl been entered into, and all that the Govern- tl merit desired and all that it expects to do 01 asto make such an smgement with w some existing Company u will secure ad, or vantages of rsilwny eommttnieationato the lit people of the North West Territories, Ind ed under such conditions es will be consistent h. with the interests of the whole people. er tween the two branches of the Legislature, and it has been the practice of the Parlia. ment in England as well as in Canada, that All questions involving the expendi- ture of money should virtually be dealt with by the representatives of the people, and as remarked by the Premier, the Be- tion of the Senate in this matter was a usurpation of the rights and privilege: of the House of Commons and a subversion of the principles of the constitution. i business Milne Logislature. It is not at all likely that this anomalous stat. of thing: will be allowed to exist much long- er.

Pa- eitie Railway will be remembered for some time as being the occasion of two very sin- gular developments of Conservative tae. ties. Our readers will not have torgotten that this branch of the Paeitie Railway from Pembina to Fort Gerry has been un- der construction for some time, and ianow nearly completed. All that is required to he done is to provide for the running of the road. With this object in View, Mr. Mackenzie introdueod a Bill into the House of Commons, providing that the Government might be empowered to lease the Pembina hunch to any company for a term at years. His Bill passed the House u! Commons by a large majority, but on being sent to the Senate was rrjvcteil. During the Semi-m which has just closed I the Senate has shown in the most uumis. 1 tuknblo way a determination to r-lmtrnct I the course of the Gorerttruent, but its fully I leached the climax in dealing with the _ l'unhipn Brunch Railway Pill.
