After fifteen years of unexampled prosperity it has decided to change governments. Under the demo- cratic rights which Liberalism in the last hundred years has succeeded in securing for the people, it is the people's privilege to so act. No Liberal can deny the right of the majority to express their sovereign will, however much he disbelieves that the popular judgment is right. FRIDAY, SEPT. 22 DAILY EDITION. ey What the extent of the Conservative majority actually. is, at the time of writing cannot be definitely established. There are conira- dictions in the reports. But all agree that the Conservative majority is a large one, totalling with the Nationalist seats in Quebec close on to forty seats. It is a victory far in advance of all Conservative estimates, and probably surprised the Conservatives 2s much as it did the Liberals, The turn-over is admittedly hard to account for on rational grounds. When the Laurier Government came into power fifteen years ago Canada was practically bankrupt. Her two races were at war with each other. The National Policy of high protection had proved itself a failure. The country required a change of policy. But in the present case, the country is prosperous. Sir Wilfrid's change to low protection has relieved taxation, and secured larger markets. The fiscal year just ended showed the lowest rate of taxation, and the largest surplus, in the history of the Dominion. It showed Canada with larger autoromous powers, and with her rankling racia] wounds practically healed. The trade agreement which both parties for forty years had sought was now within grasp—a better agreement than that which Hon. George E. Foster went to Washington io seek a few years ago. It is difficult to account on rational grounds for the turn-over. What is the situation that now confronts Canada? By their determination to make the reciprocity agreement 2 party issue, the Conservatives have cut themselves off from the measure which for forty years they have sought. They cannot now, or withir measurable time, accept it. They have torn open Canada’s healed up racial wounds, and revived for a party triumph, the old time hatred et Greet Britain in Quebec. , They cannot new deny a place in the Cabinet to Henri Bouraésa, or ignore the demands of the Frerch Nationalists to break down the Imperial bond which Sir Wilfrid Laurier had woven. Their pledge to oppose the building of a Canadian Navy, and ir- stead make a contribution to Great Britain, is a pledge to’delete one of the marks of Canada’s full autonomy, and reduce it from the rank of a Dominion to the rank of a colony. A Conservative Cabinet may balk at fulfilling Conservative promises. Their pledges to the manufacturers of Canada te increase the proiective tariff, will be robbed of its glamor to the voters of Ontario, when they realise that it means an intention to increase the taxation on imports. It is one thing to accept the campaign contributions of the Canadian Manu- facturers’ Association, and of the American trusts. It will be another thing to fulfil the implied pledges of support which the acceptance of their money means. “Roll up the xan of Europe. We will not need it again for another hundred years,” said Wiiliam Pitt when ihe news of Austerlitz reached England. Austerlitz—and three bottles of port a day—broke Pitt's Rut after Austerlitz came Waterloo. Now that the Conser- yative parity has carried the country, it has to carry on the affairs of the country. Ii will have to forma Cabinet. Portfolios can hardly be denied to Hon. George E. Foster, Clifford Sifton, Henri Bourassa and Coicnel Sam Hughes. Mr. Borden's leadership is not an assured thing. It will be difficuli to prevent disruption among the leaders of so many diverse opinions. heart Even But having sown the wind of discord in Quebec, the Corservative party may now prepare to reap the whirlwind. With twenty Naticn- alist seats in the House, and a total Government majority estim- aicd at forty, tie Nationalists will hold the balance of power. Under their gifted leader they may be trusted to exercise it, to exact all ‘che pledges that the Conservatives geve to them. Having ridden into power on the back of Henri Bourassa and the French Nationalists, the Conservatjves will be under his tyrauny. He will be the Alderman Newton of the Canadian Parliament. Aficr Austerlitz, Waterloo, Fielding, Paterson, Graham and Mackenzie King ere reportéd to have fallen in the onslaught against the Ministers. Hon Williem Templeman is returned, redeeming the Victoria seat three years ago. That to him will be a source of personal satisfaction. The Comox-Atlin seat is still in doubt, with the odds in favor of Duncer Ross, but special circumstances which made it desirable that Mr. Ross represent Prince Rupert at Ottewa ‘argely diseppeer with the passing of the Government..

Even his Mexican spurs ceased to clank by the sick bed. “Wh the troublo, partner. riding Job for amusement?” The sick man's eyes smiled, byt the involuntary effort to turn sent @ spasm of pain across his face. “Lie still, old chap, and let me see what the trouble is. Would you ladies mind leaving the room. I won't be rough on him, Kitty,” and he pushed her gently before him to the door. When they had gone Jim stripped off the bedclothes and, as tenderly as might be, felt for the injuries he could not see. “How did it happen?” he asked. Anstruther told him. “IT see, I see,” he muttered. It was |a foolish thing to do to go into that Been But then be would have done it him self for Kitty. That made all the dif- ference. “Don't hurt any whilst you lie still, does itt Hurts considerable when you move.” The sick man nodded. To turn did hurt “considerable.” “Well, so far as I can see, there ain't no great damage done. It's a bad emash up.

CHAPTER IX. A Ride for Life “Where are you going to, Jim?” ask ed the Boss, who had followed Combe out of the sick room. Jim came back from his dream with a start and turned a very white and haggard face to his old friend “To Soda Creek to fetch Protheroe if you can spare me.” “But you can't go yet.
