McINNES ‘TOOK RISKS.

Premier Laurier Saya He Must Abide
the Popular Verdict.

In reply to a speech from Colonel
Prior in the house .of. commons on
March §.-calling attention to the re-
cent action of Governor McInnes,
Sir Wilfrid Laurier said: that the

British Col ia was a
serious one, but not an illegal one.
The lieutenant-governor acted with-
in, his authority, byt whether :he
acted wisely or not was’a question,
It was the duty of the lieutenant-
governor. .to promptly dissolve the
e, the el to
:the polls and submit to them with
as little delay as possible the. ques-

"|tions which have been’ raised. If

the people returned a. majority
against .the. Martin government, it
will have been obvious that the lieu-
tenant-governor had taken a very
serious risk. At the present time
the remedy was in the hands of the
people of the province of British Co-
lumbia.
