'There are not more than twenty

You certainly would suppose that in a

WHAT THE RIEL REBELLION IS.
A Brief Statement of th Circumstances
Which Precipitated It.
The Toropto Mail was not disposed to
believe the first reports of the Carleton
uprising, putting the blame on SL Paul
newspapers, anxious, to score a point
against the Northwest in the race for
the season's immigration. By th s time
it will know that the troubles have as
sumed a really serious aspect, and that
there is little hope now that they will
be suppressed without loss of life. Our
Toronto contemporary proceeds to state
the grievances of the Saskatchewan set
tlers,, putting them in the light not un
favorable to the men who are now in
open rebellion. It says:
Under the Manitoba act of 1870 each
half-breed born in that province befoio
July 1 of that year was granted two
bumlreJ and forty ro es of land free, in
satisfaction of what may be termed the
half-breed title. Hut beyond the con
fine.! of Man'tota lay a few half-breed
settlements, for the inhabitants of which
no provision was then made, nor, in
deed, was any demand at the time,
St. Laurent, one of these, was estab
lished as long ago as 1862, and is a
fairly prosperous place. The first de
mand for consideration was preferred
by tho colonists ten years ago, when
they asked to be placed on the same
footing as regards free homcsteals as
the Metis of Manitoba. La'.cr on,

In the country a fre;h grievance sprang
up. The hiilf-breeJs, as was the
Frencli custom, had settled along the
rivers, each farm having a narrow
water frontage, and extending far buck
in the form of a long parallelogram.
The surveyors weie. of course, com
pelled to destroy this arrangement of
the holdings, and thu people earnestly
protested against it. They aho
renewed their claim for grauti of
two hundred end fcrty atres per

this the agitation has been maintained,
