4. WTNNIpEG POLICY

That impetuous gentleman, Mr.. Chandler of
Michigan. is wont to keep us well informed
about the state of our international grudges-
and certainly it is well to have Senator OF
sucb lively memory constantly on hand. Now,
Mr. Chandler proposes that we shall treat by
means of Commissioners for the annexation OF
Winnipeg as a sort of collateral negotiation to
the settlement of our Alabama Claims. The
depth and boundessness of this scheme Is self
evident. We have no objection to it, provided
any very considerable number OF people here
and in Winnipeg expressly and heartily
desire it, under terms short OF war.
But has it ever struck the gentle-
man from Michigan that we have about as
much right to send rowing Commissioners into
the Winnipeg country as the Canadians have
to pass troops through our territory Pre-
cisely so much and no more, is our right not
to mind our own business. When Winnipeg
appeals to lis it will be high time to cOnstrue
moral rights or sentimental grievances. Yet
we do not suppose that at worst Winnipeg
will do more than Cuba has done for year
mast: and what has Mr.. Chandler done for
Cuba?
The Canadians are about to send out an
expedition for the conquest of the Winnipeg
country. That they may send vessels through
our st. Marie Canal is possible; but that they
may dispatch warlike expedition through it,
or over any portion of the American territory
requires a permission which the authorities of
Michigan and Washington, according to Sena-
tor Howard, certainly will not give. What
tbenY Canada il reduced to the same neces-
sary and reasonable trouble of making
war in her own dOminOns that
was ours when st. Albans raids were possible
and the Alabama claims were in their infancy
We are far from assigning these claims as
cause for refusing to assist war against
people who desire to be free; yet it is i'm
possible not to bear them in mind 1t is, more
over, highly important to the peace of both
the Union and the Dominion that the horrors
of savage warfare, the consequences of which
may now be unforeseen, shall not be inflicted
on the Northwest. If it is true that the
Canadians and half breeds are enlisting Indians
our protest cannot be uttered too soon.
Before committing their sympathies to the
Red River question, we hope that our legisla-
tors will look at one or two aspects OF the
case. We greatly fear that the man who has
wantOnly and therefore murderOusly executed
his prisoner at Fort Garry, has slaughtered
the cause of better men than he. We
venture to hope that those who have been
assisting him in the interests of annex
alton are men of better character and claims
to our respect. He may give his adversaries
trouble; for we doubt whether it will require
great deal to cOmplicate the small affairs of
provincial government whose weakly leaning
upon England, whose feeble-forcible policy
over the Red River affair, and whose fruitless
alarm about the Fenians can scarcely be salts
factory to the Canadians themselves, and are
certainly ludicrOus to the rest of the world.

The pending Tariff bill ought to be recon,
m;tted TO the Ways and Means Committee and
tberc abandoned There is no crying neces-
sity for the present tinkering with the heve-
nue. and the delay on this bill, to the eNclu-
sion of more vital measures, is disgusting the
public. More than three weeks have been
consumed in considering about one-thlrd OF
the bill, and the chances are that at the
present rate of progress the whole session Will
be wasted in the same way. Practically the
bill is already failure it ought not to delay
businpss interminably.

ARREST THE FORGERS!

Means should be at once adopted by the
Government to secure the discovery of the con-
coctors and senders of the forged dispatches
which were delivered to the cOmmandants of
the Brooklyn and CharlestOwn Navy-Yards on
Thursday, and to which the forged signature
of Admiral Porter was attached. These dis
patches, after declaring that "war with Spain
is inevitable" gave directions to "put every
"available vessel in commission immed ately,'
and to "buy everything for construction i'm
"mediately, before the rise of gOld" which
"will go up with a rush as soon as facts are
"made public" The object of forging and
sending this nefariOus dispatch was of course
to help the spectators in gold, who have of
late been in the most desperate straits to find
something that would aid them in their strug-
giles to advance the premiums. 1t did not help
the canard all over Wall-st, and getting it
inserted in three or four of the evening news
papers, under large displayed headlines.
But because the forged dispatch gave only q
slight and temporary help to the forgers and
their allies, it is none the less the duty of the
Government to take active steps to secure the
detection, arrest, and punishment of the guilty
parties. 1t was an official dispatch that was
forged-a dispatch containing the most i'm
portant orders from the highest officer of the
Navy to his principal subordinates. Ii was
forgery that might have done incalculable in
jury to the country that might, under certain
circumstances, have precipitated us into diff
culties of "A most serious character Tho cOm-

ChevalIier has succeeded in procuring
confirmation from the Nicaragua Govern
ment of the concession for Ship-Canal
which 40 long NJ. Felix Belly disputed with
him. That the Tchuantcpec Shp-Canal enter
prise has been conceded at length by the
Mexican Government, may serve to balance
the news of French success, and. apparently,
of Colombian bad faith. Nevertheless, the
Darien Canal is not to he delayed, and we
do not expect that it will be necessary to tun-
mel through the Colombian Congress.

The members of the House of Representa-
tives evidently believe with the poet that the
wisest men, meaning themselves, of course, are
clearly competent to relish little occasional
nonsense. So last evening, being without a
quorum, those present spent two hours or more
in calling the roll, arresting absentees, and in
flicting fines on such as were brought to the
bar without excuses. The proceedings were OF
decidedly jolly kind, and some of the ex-
cuses offered had in them not little rather
pleasing wit which those who watch the Con-
gressional proceedings carefully will enjoy.
But, unfortunately, there be certain staid,
steady and somewhat crusty people who will
consider these proceedings as very tritling
indeed. In view of the fact that we have had
four months of such nonsense, though the
House does not seem to suspect as much, we
submit that little serious work on the part
of Congress would be an agreeable change.

The Evening Post is pleased with recent

The Cullom Anti-Polygamy bill has proved
a terrible thorn in the Mormon flesh, and has
added fresh fuel to the fires of domestic dis
sentions raging in Utah. At the present rapid
rate of Mormon dissolution and snaiIs pace of
Congressional legislation, the magnificent army
of the bills creation will find no enemy to
subdue Perhaps the appearance of Gov. Shailer
in the Territory, as recorded in yesterdays dis
patches, with the announcement that the
United States laws, and not those of the Ter
ritory, relative to polygamy are to be enforced,
will be sufficient. We hope Gov. Shaffer does
not go with the purpose of provoking any
conflict, but that he is under instructions to
give the evil time to rot out, as it certainly
will if left alone. Our letter elsewhere gives
the latest particulars explanatory of the Nor
mon situation and the extent of the schsm.

The Montreal News complains that "Mr.
"Gladstone's blunders in Ireland are visited"
upon Canada, but asks us to remember that
'our loss of liberty is the immediate result of
an immunity enjoyed by those who plot our
"subjection." We are ashamed to hear
our Canadian cOtempOrary speak thus
of the immunity which the Fenians
practically possess to say everything and to
do nothing. Something in this talk of sub
lection implies AFFECTION, and that we are far
from willing to imagine of our English
speaking neighbors. Now what have these
death breathing Fenians donef They have,
it is true, met, talked, and, we
fear, conquered without striking real
blow; but, except in her vanity, we do
not think Canada has sustained wound.
Under these circumstances, it does seem pre-
posterous to have weakly initiated Mr.. Glad
stones blunder.

EREE TOTING ILLUSTRA TED.

The borough of Bloomsbury, Montour County,
Pa, is the home of the Hon. Charles r.
Buckaew, late of the Federal and now of the
State Senate. Mr.. Buckalew is prominent
champion of what he calls Free Voting, and we
like as q system which enables all the people
to be represented, instead of a majority only.
He has persuaded the Legislature, in reorgan-
ning his township, to ingraft the Free princi
pie upon its charter; and the first election
under it was held on the 12th inst The Free
principle was embodied in this section of the
act:
"When six persons are to be chosen each voter may
give vote TO each Of ak persons, vote and
half each Of four two votes to each Of three
votes to each Of two, or six votes to one"
There was at first some hesitation to act
under this provision, arguing that some per-
sons were put by it to the unwonted trouble
of thinking; but at length Democratic"
and a rival "Ctizen's" ticket were respect
lively nominated, a poll had, and the vote de-
clared as follows

1t will thus be seen that the Democrats
concentrated their strength on three candidates
only, giving them two votes from each voter,
while the Citizens" party undertook to elect
four Councilmen and only carried three-the
strength of the rival organizations being nearly
equal The result ia "a very fair reflection
of the popular will-fairer than would have
been obtained under the old system.
We do not consider Mr.. Buckalew's plan
so perfect as to bar improvement; but it seems
to us signal advance on the clumsy system
