SITUATION IN QUEBEC.

Wires The Telegraph, Gazette, and other Liberal journa!s in New Brunswick are engaged with The Transcript in av un- dignified wrangle resulting from the dis- position of Government “ pap,” the dis- eatisfied Liberals in Quebec are beginning to make the position of Premier some- hat uncomfortable for Sir Wilfrid Laurier. Sir Wiltrid bas given occasion for dis- satisfaction by makiog promisea which he fas not fnifilled. The Montreal Star in an

article which we publish today sets forth humorously, yet with sub stantial truth,the aitaation in Quebec resulting from Sir Wilfrid’s recklessness and Mr. Tarte’s gredominence. It ia evident that the Liberals in office fear Sir Adolphe Chap leau. They determined to buy his adhesion, if they could, and they proposed a coalition with a seatinthe Cabinet for him. But he, a life-long Conservative,

(uraing traitor io his priaciples, his party, ~and the frieads who bad givenhim office aad position th the country. The G overn~ ment could not purchase his adhesion. So they have concluded, if possible, to pur- clase hia silence by giving him another term at Spencerwood or a high office at Paris or somewhere else. This tratticing hay uaturally disgusted, not only the Liberal office seekers, but, also the Libe:ala who put Sir Wilfred in office, not to supp! y the demands of those who tear the soup ladies, but to begin an era of Governments) economy and to administer the affairs of the couatry ia the intereete of the public at

Quite recently Germanv had a difference with Hayti.

What about the United States? It talked some more, of course, but that is all. If auch an incident as this does not make our neighbors +o ashamed of the iingo version of the Mon roe doctrine that they will stop talking about it, then they lack even the saving | grace of humor.

LANGELIER'S LIKUTENANT- GOVERNORSHIP,

(Montreal Star.)

Our esteemed contemporary the Witness published last evening au interesting report of an interview with the Hen. Francois Langelier. In this interview Mr. Langelier strongly maintains his right to be appoint- ed Lieutenant- Governor of Quebee, basing his claim upon awriten promise of the appointment made by Sir Wilfrid Laurier, in a letter received July Sth, 1896. If thia promice, the authenticity ef which is not questioned, is Mr. Langelier’s only claim w the honors and emoluments of Spencer wood, he had letter be on the Jook—out

for another situation. Does he imagine
