THE LATEST GRIT FIASCO,

Grit promises are like p'e crust—med, io be broken. They prom ‘sed, if elected thata reciprocity treaty with the United Siatee—a treaty that would meet with the approval of the peeple of Canada— would be speedily enacted. But how has thie promise been kept? Where is the treaty ? Their alleged ‘attempt to obtain it ha® proved a failure—a conspicious failure - and it isas far off as ever. For six months Sir Wilfrid and several members of hie cabinet, inclading our own Sir Louis, have been at Washington diecassing matters bearing upon this point, but they have not obtained anything. They have been hav" ing @ good time socially; but the interests of the people whom they represeuted have not been materially advanced. It isgiven out that thecommission is to meet again in August; but the impression prevails io Washington as wellas elsewhere that the last session has been held—that the an- nouncement of postponement is made to let the government down essy-—:o ward off criticiem until after the approaching ses~ sion of parliament. This is the view that is taken by Sir Charles Tupper, the veteran leader of the Liberal-Conservative party When the announcementof the failure of the Commissioners to negotiate a treaty

was communicated to Sir Charles he expressed no surprise— in fact he had been

expecting it for sometime, “It did pot re- quire this announcement.” said he “io show

thatthe whole thing envedin a fiasco. The moment it was known that it was impossible to have any treaty ratified

by the United States Sena‘e before the 4th of March, everybody knew that ir coatiau- ing negotiations the commissioners for

mission and its members are throwing some light upon the adjourament and its true inwardaees, Here is what the Star’s correspondent has to eay:

Waswineyon, Feb 21.—Those whose opivlons have some weight and who bave kaown the inside workings of the segsicns ofthe Commissioners tay that the Can- adians from start to fins) adjournment, sppeared to be actuated by a desire to get something for campaign literature in the coming Canadian elections.

The Canadian Commissioners seemed to be more solicitious abeut giving impres~ sions through the press than in getting actual results. The questions that were forever being asked by one Canadian repre~ sentative of the othere were: ‘‘Cae the Conservatives make capital out of this at home ?” and “What will the difference in effect be ou public opinion in the different provinces 7”

Tne Canadian Commisejoners came byr- riedly from the last seesien yesterday to the telegraph offices and sent off deapatch- es saying Chat the hitch wae over the Alas- kan boundary, implying thereby that everything elee was satisfactory ; whereas the trath is thatthe Commission bas got practically nothing that is worth any- thing.

The American Commissioners continu - ally taunted the Canadian Commissioners with their former restricted reciprocity propensities.” The adjournment unti} August is regarded as being more or less of a blind tocover up the total failure of the negotiations and let the Canadians dowo ‘ eary” during the Parl amentary session. Nobody here will be particular- ly surprised if itturne out that the Com- mission hus held its last meeting.

Everything goes to show that the Grits have added another to their longlist of failures, and that the Washington fiseco will rank with the greatest that “has been.”

THE CAPES SERVICE.

Tue government boate yesterday brought sixty-one bags of mail matter from Cape Tormeptioe. The opposition boats were empty, 8c far as mails are concerned. The boat house at Cape Tormentine, so the

“In fact they gave everything away. In the same way as they gave the preference to England without any quid pro quo, they gave everythiog tothe United States in their tariff and then hands to Quebec and Washington to negotiate a reciprocal tariff.

“Having by their tariff convinced the United States that Canada was uiterly dependent on them. they then asked the

what they were prepared to give, but for what they had already given without gett- ing avything io retura. They boasted throughout Canada that al! that was neces sary tosecure favourable treaty arranges

Charlton tells the people in Ch’c?go that sentiment in Canada was never so bitter asit is to-day against the United States. Mr. Tarte, I noticed, boasted at Goderich

the other day that in the treaty negotia~

tions in 1871 Canada was represented by

missioners, whereas as io the present

of dealing with diplomatic questions, In- deed, the only man aroong them who bas exhibited any ability is Mr. Chariton, and

he has been honest enough to admit that the policy pursued by the Government bas been @ most fatal une so far as these negotiations were concerned,
