result Of unwise financial legislation

any precedent for a system Of Dor
rowing from other funds with no |

other effect than has resulted in this |

Its result is to require the amount |
OF tax demanded, one mill advanced |
for this year, leaving no margin for

The total State tax of this year
will be 4 mills against 81 mills last

now to add $40 of one

There il A noint about the settlement of

There is point about the settlement OF
the Red River question recently an
nounced, which reminds US Of the motion
made in the Secession Convention in South
Carolina, few days after the ordinance of
secession was passed. A member offered q
resolution that the flag Of the sovereign
republic should be a dove and olive branch
on q white ground, in gratitude for the fact
that the separation of the State from the
Union had been peacefully accomplished!
The Dominion Government, on the one
hand. and General Riel, on the other, dis
play similar unconciousness of the fact
that it takes at least two to make bargain,
especially when there great many parties
to it. Sir John Young, on the passage of
the Dominion bill for creating Riels coun-
try into the Province Of Manitoba, pro-
claims that the difficulty IS satisfactorily ad-
iusted. The Foreign Secretary announcesin
Parliament that the difficulty IS settled
Meanwhile, however, the expedition for
the "protection Of the good people of
Manitoba is on its way to the scene of &C.
tion. General Rie1 also declares that the
revolution is accomplished and his country
is at peace, and calls upon tho people to
sustain his government We do not learn
that either party ':peaoe" is satisfactory
to the other, or that any settlement has get
been concu1red in by the people of Mimi
toba. ons vessel laden with war supplies
has already passed through the sault Ste.
Marie Cannl. II is evident, therefore, the
announcement by the Dominion Govern
meut and the British Colonial Secretary,
TINT the difficulty is settled, was premature,
| and, in effect, untrue.
