TREATED LIKE DOGS.
Furious Indignation OF Colonists IE
nored In tho Difficulty With Erance.

HALIFAX, Dec. 23.--Papers from New
foundland represent the people of that
land as being in a furious state of indig-
nation over the official announcement that
the moduS yivendi between England and
France is to be extended another year,
and that meanwhile England has under
taken TO effect settlement with or with
out the assent of the Newfoundland par
Lament. The colonists denounce knuts-
ford's dispatch as the most namby-pambv
state paper ever issued from the colonial
Office
The Times advocates transfer of the COL
ony to France. A writer in the Herald
says: "We are determined that only ono
flag shall fly over New Foundland, and
that flag will be the stars and stripes, il
England does not do her duty. There is a
movement on foot in connection with this
matter that viii startlc the people when
parliament meets"
Discussing the situation the official
organ of ex-Premier Sir Robert Thorhorn,
Sir James Winter and other opposition
leaders, says I'VE are struggling now for
emancipation from the slavery under
which we have groaned half century,
and nothing can be more exasperating
than Great Britain's temporizing policy.
What can avert bloodshed next spring.
now that this new attempt is made 10 pro-
long the period of our slavery? Where
preach peace and forbearancc To
his fellow countrymen? 1t smites
us with shame even here in the colonies,
to hear the British minister proclaim that
the imperial government will permit
France to enforce upon British subjects an
Interpretation of treaty rights which is at
direct variance with that held by Great
Rfif ycA hs-
tween the two nations, 1t has been at tlie
expense of the honor of Great Britain, bit
the people of New Foundland have done
with submission. Their patience is ex-
hausted. They have lost confidence i'm
the good faith of the British minis
stry. In spite of Lord Knutsford =
assertion that the settlement
of our difficulties now rests with the i'm
perial government, Newfoundland viii
find way of settling these matters after
her own wishes. We shall persist in man-
aging our own affairs in our own fashion,
free from the dictation of the imperial ar-
thorities, and subject only TO acts of our
own parliament We have suffered too
many wrongs from Great Britain to permit
her now to either coerce, rebuke or counsel
TO stihe that agitation on which depends
our only hope of freedom.
The paper proceeds to declare that no
arrangement entered into between Great
Britain and France will be submitted IN
for one day unless assented to by the New
Foundland parliament.
The Herald declares that the people win
defend their rights and franchises alike
against the imperial government, the
queens naval officers and the subjects of
France. Never before III this country IN
any British colony were the people SO ex-
cited or was there such defiant language
INDUCED in against the imperial govern
mcnt.

Walker Blaine,

We announced, briefly, In our last issue,
the sudden death of Walker Blaine, and
give elsewhere more extended obituary
notice. There has been no occurrence
for years that has caused more genuine
sorrow throughout our Nation than the
death of Walker Blaine In the prime of
early manhood, already occupying posi-
ton of honor and great usefulness In the
National Government.
Mr.. Blaine was well known to very
large number Of people throughout the
Nation, and was exceedingly popular with
all with whom he had business or social
relations, and deservedly so.
His death is terrible blow to his fam-
ly, and comes with crushing weight upon
his father who relied upon him to look
after much of the detail of the arduous
duties of his grea. office, and to assist
him, as only a son In whom he placed i'm
plicit trust, could.
Hon. James G. Blaine and family have
the sympathy of their numerous friends
In Maine in this their deep affection and
poignant grief.
