The mountains here at. tain to an elevation of nearly 1500 feet. The grea ter part ofthe Island however, is so flat as to be susceptible of cultiva- tion to the summit of the highest hill. Islay lies about 20 miles from the I peninsula of Kintyre, and is separated towards the north from Jam by the Sound of Islay. which is about 1 mile broad and 14 long. The extreme length of this Island, from the southern point of 0a to the northern projection of 1ta'nnhail, is nearly 31 English miles and its breadth, from Ardmore point to the east to Sanaig, is nearly 25 miles It is penetrated by Lochindaul and Laehkruinar, which nearly divide it into two halves. The coast is general. I ly bound by low rocks, or by fiat shores I and sandy bays; and the melancholy wrecks which occur here, especially on the north and west parts, give it,' justly. the name of being a dangerous coast. The violence of the sea here can easily be accounted for, when it is taken into consideration that the heavy swell which beats upon the windward coast meets with no land on this side of America to break its toree.

They can see that it ts the Allwise , ill that conservatives should govern this country and or edi-. ence to this Will is the only way this Dominion can fulfil its destined mission among the nations of the earth. And if the people of this country in their shortsighted folly decree that for a time; the liberals should hold the reins of power. then it becomes the sacred duty of the High and Honorable Senators to i goppose and embarrass the LilwlhlGOV-t ' ernment by every means in their power. I Seeing that the government is the very i evence ef evil, It follows that its every action is wrong. It a Liberal Govern- %int propose to extend the Intdrcoiun-l , ial Railway to Montreal. it is better tol allow that. railway to be worked atm loss to the country than to let that liberals have their way.

The I)'ienti'l.tll1'.l', press from one end of the Dominion to the other repeat the stale charges and absolute lies by which the party hope to defeat the Liberals. This was llyie,'lig, that assisted to defeat the Me enme Administration in 1878 and is the same old Tory policy still. The Senate. too is lending its valuable assistance to the same end. This indeed I: considered the only value that august body lenders to the country or which is the same thing the conservative party, Your loca contemporary, as an echo from the higher voices. declares that the Senate’s usefulness really dates from the 28rd of June. 1806. If the same government propose to open up the Yukon country and divert the trade of that region into Canadian channels; better far lo send the trade of the Klondike to American cities, to hinder the development of that country. to run the risk of causing untold linsery and death by famine, to greatly Increase the difficulties and cost of administer- ing justice in that part ofthe Dominion; better do all that and much more, rather than lose an opportunity to em- harmssa Liberal Government, and no doubt they are honorable men, all of them. In doing what they can to get rid of the Grits they sincerely believe they are doing God service, and {er- forming a duty to their country o in- estinmhle value and in doing this they are cheered on ha all the gaging politic'- alrustics from ulifitx to. ancouver, who fail to find words to express their admiration of this aggregation of Win- dom and honesty.
