Fortement imprégné de sa mission chrétienne et défenseur du libéralisme économique, The Montreal Witness (1845-1938) est demeuré une entreprise familiale durant toute son existence. [...]
The Montreal Witness: Weekly Review and Family Newspaper voit le jour le 5 janvier 1846 à la suite d'un numéro prospectus paru le 15 décembre 1845. Le Witness, comme on se plaît à le nommer, est l'oeuvre du propriétaire, éditeur et fondateur John Dougall, né en 1808. Écossais d'origine, il émigre au Canada en 1826 et se marie en 1840 avec Élizabeth, fille aînée de la célèbre famille Redpath. Ce mariage lui permet sans doute de s'associer financièrement à cette famille et de tisser des liens avec la haute bourgeoisie anglophone de Montréal.

Le parcours littéraire et journalistique de John Dougall est étroitement lié aux mouvements évangéliques puisqu'il a été membre fondateur de la French Canadian Missionary Society, « organisme opposé aux catholiques et voué à évangéliser et convertir les Canadiens français au protestantisme » (DbC).

La fougue religieuse de l'éditeur a provoqué une réplique de la communauté anglophone catholique. C'est ce qui explique la naissance du journal True Witness and Catholic Chronicle en 1850. Le Witness suscite tellement de réactions que Mgr Ignace Bourget en interdira la lecture aux catholiques en 1875.

The Montreal Witness est demeuré tout au long de son existence une entreprise familiale. John Dougall, propriétaire et éditeur depuis 1845, cède l'entreprise à son fils aîné John Redpath Dougall en 1870 qui, à son tour, passe le flambeau à Frederick E. Dougall en 1934. Ce dernier sera propriétaire et éditeur jusqu'à la disparition du journal en 1938.

The Montreal Witness a connu différentes éditions (hebdomadaire, bihebdomadaire, trihebdomadaire) et plusieurs noms. Outre son appellation initiale, il paraît sous Montreal Weekly Witness: Commercial Review and Family Newspaper, Montreal Weekly Witness, Montreal Weekly Witness and Canadian Homestead, Montreal Witness and Canadian Homestead, Witness and Canadian Homestead ainsi que Witness.

En 1938, à la veille de la Deuxième Guerre mondiale, les conditions économiques sont désastreuses et le nombre des abonnements diminue constamment. Malgré de vibrants appels aux lecteurs pour soutenir le journal, celui-ci doit cesser de paraître par manque de financement. Le dernier numéro, paru en mai 1938, comporte de nombreuses lettres d'appui et de remerciements. Ainsi se termine une aventure journalistique qui aura duré 93 années.

especially in a country where the popular voice has such a governing power as in Koplend.There, the very efforts usd to raise the enthusissm of the people to the pitch necessary to pass the six

tried to do some good if I had nat have good luck, I am not afraid to dis.It was just as the great bell on Essex street struck the hour of neon that Tweed sank back dead on his pillow.His death was very quick.About a week ago Tweed first complained of cold, aud took to his bed, which he kept to his death, Up to Thursday night it does uot appear be had any serious apprehen- tions, for he laughingly said, ** Uil be all right main by next Monday.\u201d A rhort time previons to his death he whispered to the ecclesiastic in disomuected sentences with great pain.All that his counsel could comprehend of this was a statement in regard to the moral effect of his imprisonment upon the public, and, to quote hin own words, Tweed maid, ** I hope now that every one is satisfied.\u201d The news of his death spread rapidly through the city, snd many of his former Triende hastened to the jail, The fact that Tweea died in prison made it neosssary to bold aninquest.À jury was empanelled, and viewed the body.The deposition of Dr.Carnochan vas taken, and a verdict was rendered in accordance with his statements, in which Dr.Cushman ecin- cided.Dr.Carnochan certified that death was caused by pericarditia ioflammation of the membranes around the heart, poeumonia, bronchitis, and chronic disease of the kidneys.He added, although this was not included in the deposition, that death was ales caused by the moral shook produced by the constant excitement under which Tweed had been laboring.There was no post-mortem examination, and none will be made, as it fe not necessary, and in objected

been more or less promi.neutly omuected with the public affaire of this country, ever since before the rebellion of \u201837 and 38, and whe, it fa asfe to eay, has done more than any other man to build up and advance the commercial and other material interests of this city, and of Canada st large.Me, Young was born ia Ayr, Scotland, fa 1511.His school life was of limited duration, be having left school at the age of 1:4 years, and engaged lu teaching ins country parish.He came to this cunntryin 1826,and entered into the employ of Messrs, Joln Torrance & Co, wholesale grocers and forwarders, as clerk in their establishment in this city ; of this firm he became a toner in 1835, at Quebec, where he remained for five years.In 1837, he wag instrumental in having 8 memorial to Governor Gosford, pointing out the ger of à rebellion againat the Government, and petitioning that corps of volunteers might be enrclled, Although Earl Gosfurd refused this rojuest at tbe time, he found it necessary about three weeks after to call upon his memorlalists for sapie, and in twenty-four hours a regiment «f light infantry was formed, of one company of which Mr.Young becume commander.In 1440, he came back to Montreal and engaged in business with Mr.Harrison Biephens, and it was while travelling in the interests of the firm through the Western States that be acquired an intimate knowledie of the various routes to the seaboard for interior productions, and of the superior advantages of ths St.Lawrence route, which resulted in later years in bis bold, fammu aod, mo far, to n very large extent, successful schemen for the improvement of this route and the development of the vast resourves of ¢ ooking to her elevation to a posi tion formidable rivalry with the United States in trade and conmerce.He first ubtained some public no.tority in Montreal Ly opposing theexpenditure in such à \u2018manner of à large sum of money raised to celebrate the bith of the Prince of os, recommending instead that the money be applied to the purchase of 300 acres ot land near the city, where an ura for poor would be secured.His proposition carried, Lut was afterwards rejected for the contr course eho fe : eer was returning-ofticer for the general election in Montreal in 1844, when rty feeling was no Fiver sul ran so high, that only the most epergetic efforts on his part with the aid of the troops which were calied ont to keep the peace in thie preseuce nf several thousaud armed stran- sers in tte city,prevent- destruction of property.For lis services on thia occasion, be received the thanks cf the Colonial \u2018Mevretary and vf ¥ir Richard Ja kson and Sir James Hope, rommagdersof the forces in Canada.In 1546, Mr, Vonog was imatra- mental in organizing a Free Trade Association in this city, which published , an \"an advocate of its views, the Cana- dan Economist.Ka the name year he entered into the discussion upon the Government plan for making » new channel through Take Ht.Peter, instead of deepening and improving the natural channel, reporting against the Government's policy after having made observations and soundings of the varirus channels, and consequently the work which had been begnn wan alisadoned ; from this time bis able far-seeirz and generally practical caleulations as to the best mesnn of improving the facilities for the carrying trade Ly the St.Lawrence romte received great consideration, and were to à large extent varried into effect.On lis appointment an Harbor Commis.sinner in 84), he subwitted plans, which were adopted by the Government, for the fuiprove.ment of Take St, Peter sud the river, and the n funds for the work were ubtain- ed on the security of the Harbor Trust, which 1128 been an managed by Mr.Yonug as chairnan, that ita honda have always been at a premium ; while, su a ningle example of the improvements effected under this scheme, it may be remarked hat the channel for navigation from Montreal to the oes bias been dee pened from eleven feet to 1 Just double that depth, although bia general \u2018 achemo {or the improvement of the Harbor of .Montreal and of the river is jet far from complete, Ta 1845, he took part la originating and urgiog + forward the construction of the railway to Port ! land, and also ou ed the construction of à © railway from this city to the West, and in fact, \"in connection with others, purchased a charter for @ road to Kivgston, It was about this time also that he suggested and advoosted the necessity of à bridge across the Bt.Lawrence, aud | even advanced the nm funda to Mr, Thos, C.Keefer, C.K.forthe survey of the site on which the Victoria Riidge wae erected.He was President and criguator ofthe Caughnawa Canal Company, \" and with characteristic persistency kept the pro- jret alive long after others began to denounce it In 18M, Mr.Young recommended to the Government the necessity of establishing a Canadian line of ocean atesiners for the 8t, Taw- rence, and was sticcsaful in geiting à line entab- lished with a Government subsidy of £19.00 per annum.Not many years ago, he rejected n glrantie lridge to rpan the Nt.Lawrence with St.listenw's Island as a stepping stone, and there jé na doubt the \u2018Royal Albert Bridge\u201d scheme would have been vigorously commenced if the timen had not been ao hard, when it wan first Jsuuched before the public.Hen, Mr Young's political career has been a nseinl and memorable one, In 1851, he foined the Llincks- Morin Administration as Chief Com nisdoner of Public

RO.ON THE SITUATION.\u2018The Times issued a special edition on the 9th inst, containing the full text of Prince Gorts- chak of's reply to Lord Salisbury's ciroular.Gurtachakoif conteste Lord Balisbury\u2019s assertions point by point, but the general tone of his reply ap to be conciliatory, He dents that the treaty of San Stefano creates a'wtrong Slav State under the control of Rumis, aod declares that the arrangements relative t> Bulgaria are «nly the development of tbe principle established by the Constantinople conference.He continnes : \u2014** Lord Salisbury admits the return to the programme of thst conference pure and simple is rendered impossible ly war.The fact that the San Stefano treaty is preliminary indicates that Rumia bas prejudged detinitive results, and haa left room for an ulterior understanding.Bulgaria will Le under Russian control ne more than Roumasis, which also owes its existence to Rusia.lunais is quite ready to abridge the term of occupation of Bulgaria as much as possible.The limite of Balgaria have vuly been indicated in general terms, in accordance with the nationality of the population.Details will be left to & mixed commission.The only object in asmigning the tte of Bulgaria is to aaist her commercial esclopment, by which Eczland anl the Mediterranean powers, whose commerce bas always been a powerful lever for their political influence, \u2018are likely to profit far more than Russias,\u201d Gortschakoff expresses surprise at the abjections to the stipulations of the treaty relative to Thessaly and Epirns.Hy the modest reforms atipulated for, it is intended to avoid an appearance of vither establishing Russian supremacy ou the one hand or utterly neglecting the Cirecks on the other.Rusia did not forbid the Torte to consult the European powers as well as Rureia on reforms for the Greek provinces, There is no longer any pretext for debarrinz 1 umia from the poasession of bia, sa the freedom of the Danube is secured by interna tional commissions, Gortechakuif's tone with regard to Armenia is muck more energetic.He says Latoum is far from being equivalent to the pecuniary indemnity which it represents, Russian acquisitions in Armenia have only à de- tensive valne.Russia wishes to hold them so se uot to have to besiege them at the beginning of each war.These territorial cemions are the natural consequence of war.If England wished to avert them, she had only to join Ruesia in ex- ring Dreasure Mey Porte, which would pro y ve cou î erant reforms without war, Kogland having rifuesd tu du Pi AMARC RE 00TH AAAS to establish a state of things which will henceforth render such sacrifices unnecessary, or at least lees omercus.The assertion that Lussia's aunexations in Armenia will interfere with Luropran trade with Persia contlicta with the statements previously made by Britieh Ministere, Such arertions push mistrust to extremes Complaints concerning indemnity are equally ill- founded.The sum out of all proportion-to Rumis's sacrifices.In deferment of the par- ment of the indemnity it is easier to see the design to keep the Purte up to its engagements in the interests of all than a design to para.e Turkey, but there is no remedy against ms.picion.Gortachakoff concludes: \u201cThe situation may be summed up thus: Existing treatieabave heen succensively infringed by the Porte, in vio- ating its ubligation towards the Christians, and 1:3 the Powers in interfering on hehalf of the Christiana.Tord Salisbury himself recognises that great changes are necessary in treaties hitherto reguiatiog the East.It remains for Lard Salisbury to say how he would reconcile these treaties and recognized rights of Great 13rd tain and other Powers, with the benevolent ends te which the united action of Europe has always heen directed, and the attainment of which one learns with pleasure the English (iovernment desires, namely, grod government, peace, aad liberty for oppressed popnlaticns.It in equally for the Marquis of Salisbury ts» say how he coud attain the desired end ontside the preliminaries of San Stefano, and yet at the same time take due account of the rizhts
