OTTAWA LETTER.

—— From Mr Toa) } WwW

Wiehieg a bappy aod pr sear te all, I desire th:

' medium

old faithful paper to that end, end to ask |

that my long silence may not be conride: ed orcharged to either nezlig

gotfulcese,

Apart trom the South doings here, bn«ines been for some time v (but a great mary public wor! uoder construction iu this city. A vw extensive, main drain is wending its w way throughout the entire leng city. lt isa costly und

masy miles through eslid rock f g Tt

to twenty-five feet deep. waterway is seven feet in th

will cost upwards of one milli 1 and causes much additional employ A very coatly interprovincial :

is being coasiructed a: Ny leadieg across the Ottawa river ! in the proviace of Quebec, wh lumbering industry is being pushed viger- ously, All told labor is in gsed demand with fair wages,

The generous grant of sixty th usand dollars a year,fer the next twenty yeare,by the Federal Government to vbe city for improvements is alse adding its quo the fairly good times.

The excitement ef the hour is eanre? by the second contingent’s equipment and leave-taking for the seat of war, in di-- tant Africa, Everything tbat conld be done for the ga’lant soldiers has bees cheerfully dene by the eitizens and peopie generally.

The farewell te D. battery and the North West Mounted Police were the scenes of the ceatury,and wil] mot seon be forgotten. Im re the sending of the fir t contingent, our Federal government al! but made the thing a party question. [n fact, for a few daye it was such, when mimisters could not agree. As a rule many ef the warm-hearted government supporters treated the matter as if it “was nene ef ourfunera).” Even yet it is only amoug the loyal eupporters of the govern - ment that apathy or worse ie tu be met with. The rumors and goseip respecting ine staad first takea by toe premier aad others of the cabinet, together with tbe subsequent actioas of Mesers. Boura-sa acd Monet, and the election now im progress in Labelle riding, all owieg to the sending ef aid to South Africa, hee, and is causing much eosiegture even when sandwiched with not a little prophesy‘vg as to be fiona! outcome of sueh questionable sentiments. Mr, Bourassa’s re-election shows that his protest is eu- dersed by bis constituents. In any case, we look for some lively nights durisg the coming session,ere everything is straight- ened Out te the watisfaction of all. It will te difficult even for our ministers to tully recoscile themselves to each other and their past and present individual ca- reers, as againet that of ihree momths ago.

Of late w marked change eeems to per- meate the electorate ot Canada from Ocean to ocean,—even apart from the Souta Africana iocident. It is an open, every day, ».ying vow,and said openly by liberals tvem-elvee—yeu liberals of a whole li cime—that they are not count- ed in the e: -called Liberal Goverament. They ( he eli liberals) claim thata very large and prevailing element ruling the Government is quite foreign, and bears no res-mblence to'tne Old Liberal party. Bome go eo far asto say that there ix vot a vestige of the old party to be found in the present Government, from any point of view,—not even if sought for with a mar- iner’s ginee.

It was not thought here that the litt'e Island would be minus an Aijttorney- General after the strong stand taken by Sir Lonis Davies in his words to the elec- tere. ‘Cold justice” is the words used in this part of Canada, when a governmen candidate wiehes to warn voters how to cast their ballots, Oth*rs sgain, and too often, manage to steal the ballots or exe change them.

I notea very singular coincidence as 'o evenly balanced Legislatures in two of the ocean provinces, viz, P. E. I.,and Britieh Columbia, where the sword is held by & single and veny slender thread. Our giant province isin a like fx, while the prairie province has leaped the dich toa change of front.

The above and what ia eure to follow, will, I trust, some day and soon, teach even Cabinet Ministers that suck conduct

last summer and autumn, by reason of the I. C. R. trains being often from one to two hours late arriving in Montreal. Actually I have known people to be, by this reason, obliged to remain over ia Montreal fora sight under expense, and in ene case | kaew of persuns prevented from getting to Ottawa on scheduled time aad missing a New York excursion, where their business led them.
