But it does not explain the matter clearly, nor
does it show why contemporary state
ments. presumably both made with the
desire to be accurate. and both based upon sub
stantialiy the same information, should
differ very widely. Indeed, its most important
statement appears to be that the publication of a
regular return of visible supply was originated by
The Produce Exchange Weekly several years since.

If the statlstican of the Produce Exchange cannot

PJETt.C REVOLT

The half-breed revolt fomented and led by
Iouis Rel the principal figure in the Red River
rebellion, appears to be based upon complaint
that the Ottawa Government has failed, rather
than refused, to provide land for the refractory
settlers in sufficient quantities AS the Govern
ment possesses practically unlimited territory
for which there is little or no demand the
rational presumption is that the demands of the
Prince Albert malcontents have not been pre-
sented properly. 1t may be that routine has
unduly delayed recognition Of their claims, but
since there seems no reason why the Govern
ment should not grant them all the land they
want, the motive for serious revolt is wanting.
The half-breeds however are restless,
nomadic, and excitable people, and Louis Riel
is plainly one of those born agitatOrs who can
not be comfortable unless they are cOnspiring
or heading attempts at revolution. For all this,
the outbreak may not be easy TO suppress. for the
distance is great, the country difficult, supplies
are hard to transport, and fighting men not
numerous In the Red River outbreak there
was just enough power OF aggression and de-
fence in the rebels to compel the sending OF
formidable expedition against them; and when
it arrived they dispersed. In the present case,
unless the rebels can be put down at once,
which does not appear likely. similar
necessity may arise and such state OF things
would embarrass the Dominion Government
seriously at time when Canadian loyalty is
seeking an outlet in the Soudan.
How many supporters Louis Riel has is doubt
full. The accounts vary all the way from five to
fifteen hundred But even with the smallest
number yet named, one OF TWO successes over
the mounted police may bring some dis
contented Indian tribes to their side, and then
the assembling of a solid expedition against
them would become unavoidable. The Govern
ment cannot afford to let the revolt alone until
the warmer weather opens up the country, and
vet the present rigOr of the climate must greatly
increase the difficulty of reaching the seat of
the mischief. What Riel hopes or expects it is
impossible to conjecture. He must be very
foolish if he thinks it possible to establish IN
independent government against the whole
force of the Dominion, and it does not appear
probable that the demands Of his followers will
be the more quickly conceded because pre-
sented at the muzzle of the rifle
The revolt may, however, prevent the dis
patch of Canadian troops to Africa, and this
contingency suggests the use which, in any
great European war, England's enemies may
make of the extent of her possessions, and
especially of tho delicate relations she holds to
scores of subject peoples. That in such crisis
disafiection would be stirred up In many OF her

THE POST And THE TWEED-MANNING

The Ereaing Post, which, few days ago, dis

attempts to show that Mr.. Manning s to be regard

UyK, in October, 1877 accepted Mr.. Mannings ver-

venient TO turn it's face from these counts Ill the
indictment which it is unable to meet and devote
all its attention TO single other count wnich IL

foggers
But speaking Of the paragraphs in relation to the
"a 600 which appeared in TIE TRIBUNE October g
and o. 1877, 1t Is interesting to SEQ how The Post
was expressing itself on the subject at that
time On the 9Th of October, 1877, the day before
The TRIBUNE accepted Mr.. Mannng's explanation
of his relation to the check satisfactory, and the
day after Tweed had presented his evidence against
The Argus, The Post said edItorially;
I'm a general way Tweed already has been largely
confirmed HIS story fits with the exactness OF
truth Rreal deal Of what was known long, ago
about the doings of the ring and what has peen
proved in court, and with a great deal more WhlGn
has been believed and suspected. Speclhcaliy
there are many things IN his story yet to be made
ont distinctly, however probable they may be, ana
when Tweed mas summoned all his silent Witnesses
