POLITICAL DRIFT IN CANADA.

"Dishing does not seem always to succeed in
Canada any more than elsewhere. The Liberal
Government has tried 1t in the Dominion at
large, with not altogether satisfactory results.
Provincial Liberal governments have tried If
locally, with actually disastrous results. Mani
toba afforded the first example Of the process
British Columbia has just given the second
The Liberal Ministry in that province made
appeal to the people on a platform the salient
features Of which were hagrantE "cribbed"
from the Conservatives. One called for the
construction of State railroad into the Koote-
mai mining region. While ostensibly distin-
guished from such monopolistic schemes as the
Canadian Pacific Railway, the proposition was
regarded as really making in the same drec
ton. 1t would afford opportunities for just
such Job as those in the Canadian Pacific
Railway, which Liberal statesmen have so
austerely condemned. It was Interpreted as an
attempt to play the Conservative game under
the Liberal name, and such was repudiated
at the polls. Another plank called for the exclu-
sion of United States miners from all Canadian
placer mines. This too, was a scheme taken
from the EXTREMIST Conservative programme,
and it, too, was repudiated by the voters, who
sensibly realized the fact that United States
enterprise and capital brought into Canada will
be of greater value than all the gold which Is
taken out.
The net result that the Liberals were
overwhelmingly defeated. Whether this is an
indication Of a general revulsion Of Canadian
sentiment against Liberalism and foreshadows
a return of the Conservatives to power at the
next general election, is disputable question
Provincial elections often turn upon local issues
and have little to do with Dominion politics
Yet they do also at times indicate accurately
the drift of Dominion politics. The Dominion
Government Is understood not to have exerted
any influence In behalf Of the Liberals In British
Columbia, and indeed to have partly dsap-
proved Of their platform. However it is to be
borne In mind that both the great parties in
Dominion politics are playing the "dishing"
game The Liberals have been doing It ever
since they came into power, at first with the
preferential tariff and later with the sending of
troops to South Africn-thngs which thew
would have condemned most vigorously had
they been done by Conservatives And the
Conservative party, or its leader, has been
doing the same by denouncing the Liberal Gov
eminent for identifying itself so closely with
imperial interests! Why if the Liberals a few
years ago had said half that the Conservative
leader has just been saying that same Con-
servative leader would have cried "TreasonI
TIL the welkin rang. It is an audacious game of
"dishing" on both sides, the result of which will
probably be in doubt until the last moment
though the drift at present seems to be in the
Conservative direction
