The work opens with a review of the political history of th(> Province from its early settlement down to the date of its entry into Confederation A history of the Executive Govern- ment since that datt* follows, with a list of the members of the different administrations that have, from time to time, had charge of its affairs. A chapt(!r is d(>voted to tht; Civil Service of the Province, and ccmtains a synopsis of the Civil Service and Superannu- ation Acts, as well as biographical sketches of the principal officials at the seat of Government. A leading feature of the work is a complete list of the members of the Sixth Legislature, with their biographies, and a record of the official returns of the last general election held in December, 1886. There is also a review of the previous elections. Afitention is also given in other chapters to Dominion matt(!rs appertaining to the Province and adjoining Territories, with the result of the recent general elections for the Dominion Parliament. Reference is also made to the administration of affairs in the Northwest Territories, at Regina, the seat of Government, together with a list of the members of the Northwest Council.

It is bounded on the soutli by the 4i)th parallel of north latitude on the east by the Province of Ontario, on the no-th by Ke(>watin Toi-ritory, and on the west by the Northwest Territories, Manitoba was formerly a portion of the Hudson's Hay Territory, which was owned by a ^,rading company, of that name, which obtained a charter for it, from Charles I], King of England, in A.D. 1G70. That portion of the territory, corres- ponding with what is known as the Province of Manitoba, was first settled by Lord Selkirk in 1 81 J, and the following year witnessed the establishment of the Red River Colony. The Hudson's Bay Company sold Larl Selkirk the fertile belt in the Red River Valley for che purpose of colonization. He was invested with full proprietary rights to the soil, subject oiilv to the burden of extinguishing the Indian title. The early colonists came from the north of Scotland, a majority of them from the Parish of Kildonan, in Sutherlandshire, and arrived at Fort Churchill, on the Hudson's Bay coast, in the autumn of 1811. In the early spring of 1812 they made » their way inland and reached the confluence of the Red and Assiniboine Rivers, where they began to lay out a new home. Two other trading companies having come into the countrv became formidable rivals to the Hudson's Bay C^ompany, and m consequence the young colony became the scene of nianv conflicts between the contending parties. One of those stru<^- gles, which took place June 10, 181G, was so severe that it h»ts been termed the battle of Seven Oaks, and in it Governor Seinple and twenty of the colonists lost their lives. The DRTrMCRl CD DTTAWS 6 Political Manu tenure of the country by the, representatives of Lord Selkirk. The consideration given for this transfer was £84,000 sterling, and was intended "to reim- burse tlie heirs of Lord Selkirk for the large sums spent by his Lordship in promoting the settlement of the colony. The earliest constitutional government of the colony wouhl* seem to have been vested in the Hud.son's Bay Company, which, under their charter, was vested in a (iovernor, Deputy Governor and Committee of five directors, all chosen annually by the stockholders in England. Sir George Simpson was the hrst to occupy the highest office in the gift of the Company ariei t.iccuantiuu ui au uienvai organi/ations m 1821. Sir George died in September. 1860, after having fulfilled the Ifudson's Bay Reyirne. *J duties of his position for nearly 40 years. He was succeeded by A exander Grant Dallas, who held the office until his re- signation in 18(,4 when William McTavish was appointed Governor. 1 he latter continued in office^, until the transfer of the country, March 9, 186;9, to Canada; brought about through the recommeiKlation ot the then Secretary for the Colonics, Larl Granville for which a consideration of £300,000 sterling was paid by the Dominion Government. This general jurisdiction of the Hudson's Bay Company however, did not in any way affect the little colony of Red River, for its officers rarely interfered in its affairs, which were controlled by another corporation known as the " Gover- nor and Council ot Assiniboia." Previous t(^ 1848. the office ot l,()vernoi- ot Assiniboia was almost invariably held by the officer m charge of the Con.pany's trading interests in the Colony In 1848, Lieut.-Col. William Caldwell, an officer of the British army, was sent to the settlement, partly in his military capacity and also to assume the Governorship of" Assini- boia, under a commission granted by the Hudson's Bay Com- pany. He he d the office until 1855, when he was succeeded by J^i-ank GodshalJohnson, a leading member of the Mon- treal bar, Who, in addition to the appointment of Governor, hed that ot Recorder of Rupert's Land. He resigned both offices 111 18o8 ami was succeeded by William McTavish • then in charge of Fort Garry, and who hel.l the dual position until the transfer to Canada in 1809. Although the chief officer of the Hudson's Bay Company undertook the govern- ment ot the colony in 1821, it was not until 1835 that any attempt was made to form a Legislative body to assist the Governor. The first step taken was to secure from amongst the move influential settlers of the Colony, men to act as coun- cillors, who would assist the Governor in forming local regula- tions, estabh.sh courts of justice and a code of laws for the government of the people. The selection having been made comuvissions were issued to them, from the head offices in Lon- don, England.

John McCallum, Coroner. John Bunn, Medical Adviser, Andrew McDerniott, Merchant. Cuthbert Grant, Warden of the Plains. The Recorder of Rupert's Land, of whom mention will be made later, was legal adviser of the Council. A feeling existed that this council, being a creation of the Hudson'.s Bay Company, could not legislate impaitially, a.s a tendency existed in favor of the (Company amongst its members ; hence the wish freoly expressed by many, that it could be made an elective body, and representative of the people. This was found to be impracticable at the time, and the Council proceeded to execute its mission. At its iirst meeting the fol- lowing were amongst a series of enactments passed : 1. That an efficient force be embodied, to be styled a Volunteer Corps, to consist of sixty officers and privates, to be at all times read;- to act when called jpon to preserve order in the Colony. Commanding officer to be paid £20 per annum, sergeants £10, and privates £0 stering each, besides extra pay for service of writs 2. That the settlement be divided intn four districts, and that for each of said districts a magistrate be appointed. Thai James Bird be Justice of the Peace for the first district, James Sutherland for the second, Robert Logan for the third, and Cuthbert Grant, for the fourth. These magistrates to hold quarterly courts of sum- mary jurisdiction on four successive Mondays ; to be appointed according to the existing order of precedence, in the four sections, beginning with the third Mon- day in January, April, July and October .3. That the said courts have power to pronounce final judgment in all civil cases, where the debt or damage claimed does not exceed five pounds ; and in all cases of trespass and misdemeanor, not being repugnant to the laws of England, may be punished by a fine not exceeding the sum of five pounds. 4 That the said courts be empowered to refer any case of doubt or difficulty to the ''upreme tribunal of the Colony, the Court of Governor and Council of Assiniboia, at its next ([uarterly session, by giving a 7i/va voce intimation of the reference in open court, and a written intimation of the same under the hands of the majority of the three sitting magistrates, at least one week before the com- mencement of the said quarterly session, and this without being compelled to state any reason for so doing. o. That the Court of Governor-in-Council, in its judicial capacity, sit on the third Thursday of Feljruary, May, August and November, in each year ; and at such other times as the ciovernor- in-Chief of Rupert's Land, or in his absence the Governor of Assinii)oia, may deem fit. Administrat'Utn of Justice. 9 6. That in all contested cases, which may involve claims of more than ten pountis, and in all criminal cases, the verdict of a jury shall determine the fact or facts in dispute. 7. That a public building intended to answer the double purpose of a Court House and Gaol be erected as early as possible at the forks of the Red and Assiniboine rivers. That in order to raise funds for defraying such expenses as it may be found necessary to incur towards the maintenance of order, and the election of Public Works, an import duty shall be levied on all goods and merchandise of foreign manufacture, imported into Red River settlement, either for sale or private use, of T.J per cent, on the amount of the invoice ; and further that an export duty or 7i per cent, be levied on all goods and stores, or supplies, the growth, produce or manufacture of Red River colony. The administration of justice in the colony, really dates from the appointment of Recorder Adam Thorn, of King's Coilejje, Aberdeen, and afterwards an eminent advocate at the Montreal Bar. He arrived in Red River colony in the spring of 1830, and in addition to his duties as Recorder of Rupert^ Land, was constituted legal adviser to the Governor and Council of Assiniboia. He became by virtue of his office Chief Justice or President of all the Red River courts. His court was ternied the General Quarterly Court, and sat as above stated, four times a year, in February, May, August and November. The vast majority of cases on its rolls originated before it, but it was competent to act as a Court of Appeal on cases which had been previously adjudicated upon in the petty courts. There was no appearfrom this court to any other colonial court. It wjis competent to try both civil and criminal cases. In the former there was no limit to the amount at issue in cases on which it might legally adjudicate; in the latter it had power to try capital offences. Judge Thoni, by some decisions given in 1844 and 1849 adverse to the rights of the colonists and partial to the Hudson's Bay Company, got into bad odor and was forced to leave the Bench in the latter year. Governor Caldwell, for nearly a year, then acted as judge, but on the celebrated case Foss vs. Pelly, coming up in 1850, it was felt that a man of considerable legal tahnit was rc(|uired to C(jnduct this case, so Judge Thorn was recalled to preside. The action was one for defamatory ccnspiraey, l:»rought l)y an officer of pt;nsioners against an officer of the Com})a?iy's service, and there was a considerable amount of scandal attached to it. The vv.vdict of the jury was found for the piaintilf, Capt. Fo.ss. who obtained damages to the amount of aH)0. Governor Caldwell, who was in court, was dissatisfi(>d with the result, believing it to be a gross miscarriagt! of justice, md so ropoi-ted to Kngland. The ivsult was the pernnuieut removal of Mr. Thorn from the office of Recorder. He removed to Scotland in 18r)4. He was sue- 10 Political Manual. I ceeded m the spring of the same year by Judge Johnson, an eminent member, as before stated, of the Montreal Bar ; but he only retained the position for four years, having returned in I8i^8 to his practice in Canada. Dr. 3unn, a member of the council and a medical practitioner in the colony, next per- formed the duties of Recorder from 18o,Sto 18(51, when sudden death through appoplexy, in the spring of that year, relieved him of the cares of office. Governor McTa\ish next continued to fulfil the duties of Recorder until the appointment of Judge Black m 1862, who discharged the duties of the position with considerable success until thy transfer of the teri-itory in 18(59 to the Dominion of Canada, wlien he resigned and went on a visit to England. The interval between March 9, 1809, when the Hudson's Bay Company consented to surrender their rights and privi- leges to the Dominion of (knada, was a sort of political chaos New settlers, led by Dr. Schultz, Thomas Spence and others, on the eve of the dissolution of the Council of Assiniboia' took a prominent part in opposition to the existing authorities! The "Nor'-Wester," which had just started, assisted vigorously ill the crusade. Mr. Spence v.^ent so far as to estal)li!sh a Re- public, with Portage la Prairie as its capital. The scheme, however, soon collapsed, having been effectually sat upon by the British Government. The Metis, however, under the leadership of Louis Riel, proved more powerful than at first anticipated in their resistance to the annexation of the colony to Canada, and supplanting the Council of Assiniboia, seized Fort (Jairy and set up an independent Government. TJie first executive step towards the organization of government in what is now Manitoba was takeii by the Governor-General-in- Council on October 29, 18(;9, when Hon. William McDougall, C. B., was appointed Lieutenant-Governor of the Northwest Territories. It will be remembered that Mr. McDougall was not allowed by the Miitis to enter into the country from Pembina, and that he returned to Ottawa in December of the same year. In the meantime tlie loyalists under Col. Dennis and Major Boulton contended for supremacy with Riel, but were not able to cope with the Metis, and it was found necessary to despatch troops to Fort Garry. Riel showed considerable skill as a diplomatist, but the murder of Thomas Scott on the 4th of March, 1870, within the walls of Fort (]}arry, alienated all sympathy from his cause, and Col. Wolseley was hurried forward with the troops to quell the insurrection. He reached Fort Garry on Tuesday morning, August 23, 1870: Riel and members of his council only left a few minutes before the Canadian Regime Tmtagurated.

It has, on account of its mpi Crc Poa reai one so i Thp Metropolis. U Departments of the Province are stationed here. It is besides the judicial centre of the Province, thus necassitating the resi- dence here of the fudges of the Superior Court. The Domin- ion Government, too, has made this city the head-cpiarters for locally transacting business in Manitoba and the Northwest. Among the offices located here are the, the Customs, Inland Revenue,^ Inunigration, Dominion Lands, Receiver-General, Crown Timber, Canadian Pacific Railway, Fishery, Indian and Post Otfice Departments.

On terniinatino- his studies at the Quebec Seminary, he entered on the study of the law, and in 184.8 was called to the bar. While yet a student at law he became associated with the late M. Etienne Parent, in tlie publication of the Canadien, of which journal he was appointed editor-in-chief when M. Parent en- tered Parliament. Mr. Cauchon was, in 1844, elected to the Canadian Assembly for Montreal, and continued its rei)resen- tative for 28 years. On the reconstruction of the McNab- Taeho Ministry, in January, 185.5, he received the otRce of Commissioner of Crown Lands. He was the originator and promoted to a successful issue the North Shore Railway from Montreal to Quebec Mr. Cauchon was also an ardent sup- porter of Confederation, both in the House and through his pen in the "Journal de Quebec," of which ho was the founder. His pamphlet, " L'uni(,u des prorinces de V Amer'ique Rritav- nique du Nord'' tended not a little to dispose the minds of his fellow-countrymen in Lower Canada towards the proposed enlargement of our limits. After the union, his services found recognition in his af/jy-intment of Speaker of the Senate, which duties he discharged vvith acceptance until July, 1872, Li that year he was elected to repri'sent Quebec Centre in tlie Commons. Li the meantime, the committee of investigation ordered by the Quebec Assewibly, on the motion of Mr. Joly, had led to his r(\signation tjf \m seat.

Many descendants of those same colonists are to- day in Manitoba. In 1805 Lord Selkirk published a work in which he advocated a system of extensive emigration and col- onization as a means of relief to the congested districts of the British Isles. He next planted a small colony in the County of Kent, Ont. While a resident of Montreal he became acquainted with the fur traders from the Northwest, and their stories of the vast prairie regions beyond the Red River, impressed him so favorably, that he immediately conceived a scheme for colonizing the country. He first set to work and purchased a large interest in the Hudson's Bay Company, and by this means succeeded in inducing that corporation to sell him a large tract of land on the Red River for coloni- zation. His Highland Colonists began to arrive in 1811 and the following year witnessed the inaugui-ation of the Red River Colony thus forming the nucleus of what is yet destined to be, a rich ami populous country. The Earl got into financial difficulties through evincing too much zeal in his philanthropic schenies, and persecution and calumny shattered his health to such an extent, that he was forced to visit the south of France to reci-uit it. He died at Pau in the Pyrennes, April 8, 1820. By his Countess, Jean, (mly daughter of James Wedderburn-Colville, of Ochiltree, he had one son, Dunbar-James, who succeeded to his title, and two daughters. French, Capt. John, who commanded a detachment of scouts during the Northwest Rebellion, was killed at the cap- ture of Batoche, 18th May, 1885. He was the son of the late John French, of Mornington Park, County Dublin, Ireland, and a brother of Colonel Cr. A. French, C.M.G., formerly Connnissioner of the N. W. Mounted Police, Canada, and now Connnandant of the Queensland forces. Capt. French himself !iad held a commission in the Mounted Police, but retired to farm land on a large scale in the Qu'Appelle Valley. The deceased was a man of undaunted courage, and riowhere did he give greater evidence of his bravery than in the late cam- paign. In the heat of the struggle at Bt,-jcht' on 12th May, he carried a wounded nian of his corps, Prix- .te Cole, back to a. place of safety, amid showers of bullets and cheers of the Canadian troops. Next day, when the insurgents were dis- lodged and the village of Batoche captured, Capt.

His remains were accorded the hoiiors of a military funeral, 300 men of the Essex Regiment, with the band and drums, being detailed for service at the cemetery, liord Wolseley telegraphed from Suakim the extreme regret with which he had heard of the gallant officer's death, and re- quested Lieut.-Colonel Alleyne, under whose orders the voya- geurs were so frequently employed on the Nile, to represent him at the funeral. H. R. H. the Field Marshal Commanding- in-Chief (Duke of Cambridge) and H. R. H. the Prince of Wales were also by express order represented, the former sending a handsome floral wreath to be placed on the coffin.

John, a Wesleyan Methodist minister, was born in Norfolk, Ont., June 12, 1800, and died in the town of Simcoe, in the same county, October 5, 1878. He received a fair Englisl education, became deeply pious in his boyhood, and preached at the early ago of eighteen years. He had to do with the founding of many of the institutions of the Methodist Church, and was a liberal contributor. Mr. Ryerson was appointed in 1854 to visit the Hudson's Bay Territory, to explore it as a missionary field of labor, with a view of transferring the management of the missions in that vast region from the London Wesleyan Missionary Committee to the Canadian Conference. That tour occupied six months, during which time he travelled 1,500 miles in the Hudson's Bay trading yacht and no less than 1,100 miles in bark canoes, camping out at night. Having completed his labors he returned to Canada, via Hudson's Bay route and England, after having arranged for the transfer of the Northwest missions to the Canadian Conference. Mr. Ryerson never fully recovered from the effects of his trip, for exposure and fatigue had shattered his physical powers, compelling him to se )k retirement for the remainder of his life. He published a volume in 1855, entitled " Hudson's Bay ; or a Missionary Tour in the Territory of the Hon. Hudson's Bay Company," which gave considerable information regarding the "Great Lone land." Simpson, Sir George, Governor I'-r the Hudson's Bay Com- pany, was the only son of George Simpson, Lochbroom, Ross- shire, Scotland, where he was bom in 1792.
