theyjdid excuse it, however.They said, we ar not bound by the contract to disallow Manitoba charters to competing lines\u2014we dballow them because we believe the goo-1 of the country demanda that course.The people, seeing that \"ir John Macdonald has given himself aud his Government over to the Canadian Pacific Company, be-lieve that the Government has no other thought than that of serving the Canvlua Pa* ific Company.When the Canadian Pad-fi- Railway Company was on the point of failure, when it confessed that it could not no on with the construction of the road unless th-' Dominion Government came to its assistance with a Irian, which it could not obtain elsewhere, the Brest lent of the Company declared that the Comjmuy was willing to give- up the monopoly, and the Finance Minister, in introducing the resolutions for the loan, declared that the monopoly would be ended on the completion of the Lake Superior section of the road.The loan was granted, the Lake Superior section of the road wat completed, and yet the Government » promises and tho Company s jroTi.i-ea to an cel the monopoly clause were never fulfilled.During all this time the Manitoba L» gDlature, r* lying upon the atatc-rr,* nta of the Government that it could not be checked, and upon the promises that the monopoly would ho ended on the completion of tho bake Supeldor system, granted charters to competing lines.These have been over and over again disallow ed in spite of ali déclara lions and in spite of all promises.The last i barters granted wore disallowed according to the organs of the Government, liecause tliu l>eople of the Dominion sanctioned that course at tho last general election.Except in Manitoba, where every candidate was pledged to support disallowance, that question was not before the people, though in some places some effort was made to place it before them.The (ample never gave any mandate on that question.There is every reason to believe, on tho contrary, that the gnat majority of the people of Eastern ( snada are opposed to disallowance.Tliu Toronto J/aif and the Toronto (JM>e alike oppose it, as do tho truly independent papers ; only those papers which are lanind hand and foot to the Government as slavish organs advocate disallowance, and it is safe to say that they do so simply because it is the policy of their master.Seeing that the Dominion Government was determined to disallow all charters to com panics, and that, therefore, the railway could not be constructed as a private enterprise, the Manitoba Government, driven thereto by the people of Manitoba, began tho construction of the railway as a public work.They did so under the authority of a general railw ay act which tho Dominion Government had already allowed.The route was surveyed, line planned out, the contracts let and the grading began.Then an injunction was secured by a Mr.Browning to prevent tho grading of the road across his property.The road was graded, however, laforc the injunction could Ik) served.Then Mr.Van Horne\u2019s little \u201ctrick\" of building a spur line of the Canadian I'aciU6 across the route of the Red River road, and relying upon the Dominion Government to refuse to sanction the crossing, was proposed but was abandoned.Tho trick only served to prove that the Canadian Pacific Company was the real opponent of the Red River road, and that the Dominion Government was at its back, In the meantime the petitions for the injunction are being argued before the Mauitola Courts, and it appears probable that they ore all likely to be refused on one ground or another.The principal ground is, however, that injunctions obtained by individuals or corporations are powerless against a government.This has forced the hand of the Dominion Government which had not yet entered the courts against the Manitoba Government.It has done so now, ami an injunction obtained by the Federal Government against the Local Government of Manitoba w ill be effective as far as the law is concerned.Will the in junction be granted?That remains to he seen.If it is granted then the crisis will come.It is as certain as anything can be that the people of Manitoba, indignant over the deceptions that have been practised upon them, and justly exasperated by the in justice of being bound and held down under a monopoly placed in the bands of a corporation, will appeal to force rather than submit Work lias beeu done, money speut, and com petition so greatly longed for is just within their grasp.It is not to lie supposed for one moment that they will retreat.The per si.nnel of the Government of Manitoba may change, but as it is the people who have driven the Government of the day into action, a change will make no difference; another Government would be compelled to obey the wishes of the people.Is the Dominion Government being driven to its course by the people or by the Canadian Pacific ?Will an appeal to force be resorted to in order to compel the people of Manitoba to submit to a lishonest ami unjust policy ?Wc do not believe it.^ ct the Dominion Government has entered upon a course, which, if persisted in, must inevitably end in an attempt to bring the volunteers of Ontario and Qucltec face to face with the volunteers of Manitoba, for, as the Government organs show by their Ic-epatches, the people of Manitob^rc ready to go to war, ami the Manitoba volunteers will change their allegiance fr#m the Dominion to Re Local Government at the drop of the glove.CITA' ITEMS.T1 » total export of lire stock to Great Britain from Montreal dunntr the pan week amounted to Lfs/G cattle and 2,731 sheep.Letter- bearing |et without gas or hydrants, and »\u2014 obj-ct to (aping taxes until Uittu- are supplied.Up to date 2.VJ fires where actual damage has beer.d.,|iM have taken place this year.This is in fc-lditi' n to \u2022O alarms without fir s.The total is Digcr than that of any previous year.THE STREET RAILWAY'S DEFENCE.(To the Editor of the IV it nee*.) Slit.\u2014In your issue of yesturdty you publish a non t-whst lengthy editorial paragraph complaining of the overcrowding of the street cars at the bury hours of the day on llleury street, and you reflect uu the in uiagemeut uf the Montieal Stunt Railway Company liecause sent* are not provided for every passenger.In reply to this oft re|»*ated and now stale complaint, I desire to way that on every street railway system in existence this liability to uverctowdiug at certain hours of the day exists, and to meat it so as to satisfy the public is one of the prob-1- ins not yet solved.Any one who has witnessed, m Liverpool on a wet night, the crowd# waiting at the Cotton Exchange to board the 'buses am) car# (only a certain number being al lowed to get on each train or 'bull, will have concluded, by the great dissatisfaction of those who are obliged to watt their turn or take a cab, that such is not a satisfactory solution of the matter.Citizens here will not wait so long as an inch of standing room is to be had.In the United H ta tea, Hie home of street rail-wajs, they have not yet been able to solve this overcrowding question, which occurs to the very lient equiiqied roads, there being no street railway m America which provides a seat for all who ride.The railway companies would be glad if it could be satisfactorily met.You, Mr.Editor, say that thu reason given for the lack of sei vice is that there are not cars enough, which you claim cun be easily nocured, »t;d that the Company could, if it wished, double its rolling stock every month.Pray pardon me if I tell you that you are hi error in this.I am willing to admit your journalistic ex-psrienc#, which has achieved such marked success, tut must confess that the above statement on your part shows that you certainly have never yet run a street railway.In order to encourage home industry, the Montreal Street Railway has given Messrs.Lariviere, Mercier aud others of this city every order for cars and sleighs they could till, but still we have been compelled to order from various tirme in the States in order to meet the men asing traffic ; and, bear in mind, street cats cannot be built iu a day.Your statement, however, that the Company should double its rolling stock every month is palpably made hurriedly by you, as the following figures will show : We now employ eighty cars and eight hundred horses (being thirty more cars and two hundred horses than this time last year), am) to double these every month, as yousugge#», nu ans 1F0 cars and l,t»00 horse# for the first month only.It is easy to talk of doubling cars, but this means doubling horses, stables, men, etc., as well, a very easy thing to writ-* abou', but not so easy to put into effect.Bear in min I for every street car you see, ten horses are required at least.I agree with you, there is no difficulty getting the money, since street railway securities are considered an ongat the best» This Company is increasing its facilities as fast a# can be done, but you must admit there is reason in all things.If we were to double our service to nrovent overcrowding lietween five and six o'cIock, or to carry 10 or 20,000 jieople to see a lacrosse match or a circus, what are we to do with the 7 or 800 extra horsea that would md be required for the regular traffic.No street railway that I am aware of gives so rapid a service as ours, but there must necessarily be < ccasion* when overcrowding will take place.And further, this overcrowding is object-d to by the Company, as conductors are unable to collect many of the fare* under such conditions.The rush and annoyance on continental street railways are something terrible, aud people hero would not submit to the \u201cwaits\" rendered obligatory there, in order to s» cure a seat.In conclusion, allow me to say that the Montreal Street Railway labors under many and gr- at disadvantages, probably more so than any other in America, w hat with the hills, the constant openings for drain», etc., and last, but m>t 1- ast, ita wretched streets, all have contributed to prevent (and do so still) such a service as the citizens of Montreal are entitled to have and I trust will yet attain.When y-u s|>eak of the cars as \u201cherring baskets\" you retlect more 'on tho passengers than the cars, which, I think, all admit cannot be excelled.\tE.LtHlilB,
