ness Attracted to Other Ports.New York, Nov.8\u2014The Evening Post says the season is now sufficiently advanced to enable those engayed in transportation on the State canals to intelligently forecast the result of this year\u2019s business.So far the movement from Buffalo to New York has not been very Leavy, owing to the scarcity of freight at various times which compelled the boatmen to be idle.The canals opened this year on May 1 with a four cent rate on wheat and 3% cents on corn from Buffalo to Albany, and $2.25 to New York.Freights were moderately active until Aug: 1, when scarcely any grain presented itgelf for shipment, and for four or five weeks the slips in Buffalo were crowded with empty boats and dis- appoluied vrews.Some Of the boatmen who have recently arrived in the harbor have decided not to load again at the present rates prevailing on east and west bound freight, and are tieing up for the winter.There appears to be a ecarcity of grain at this port at present.Ordinarily, at this season of the year, every Canal boat is in commission and the granaries are comparatively well stocsed.A shart time ago there was only about 300,000 bushels in store, whereas the boatmen declare that from 14,000,000 to 15,000,000 busheis should now be in the harbor.One or two bad breaks onthe Erie, and the serious one just reported near rort Edward, on the Champlain canal, have added tothe discomfiture of the boat- fect on the season\u2019s business.Unremun- erative seasons for the boatmez of late years have been common, and while those engaged in the business still cling to it for a living, it is a fact that many boatmen are anxious to sell their boats and seëk other work.They allege that they can\u2019t make a living and pay the interest on their boats, most of which are mortgaged, with less than a four cent rate on wheat.Some of the more intelligent ofthe boatmen account for the four weeks, enforced idleness in August, by charging that the heavy terminal fees at Buffalo and New York diverted the grain trade to other and less naturally favored ports.The charges levied at Chicago, Buffalo, and Mew York as against Baltimore and Newport are,das they allege, always sufficient to deprive the boatmen of a paying freight for any length of time.The terminal charge at Chicago said Capt, W.C.Clerk, who represents the Canal Protective Union, is two cents a bushel, which anyone can see is exces- give.The lakers, which carry from 5000 $0 100,000 bushels, cannot carry it at less than a two-cent rate from Chicago.Tue charge at Buffalo, including elevating, insurance, scalping, etc., is two cents a busbel, and 4 cents à bushel is as cheap as the boatmen can carry it to New York.Then you bave;the terminal charges here, \u2018which include elevating, pilotage and several others, the total of which will average 3 cents a bushel.That is 6 cents a bushel for lake and canal freights and 7 cents for terminal charges at the lowest possible calculations.Inquiry among the canal men disclosed considerable dissatisfaction in regard to the levels which they say are grossly neglected, and delays in consequence of eel grags and low water have been frequent.The water near Lockport has been drawn off by parties who have no claim fo it, and it is alleged thst navigation has been impeded at various points through the indifference of some of the divisionalsuper- intendents.Moreover the locktenders have exacted tribute from the boatmen as flagranily as ever.It is probable that the fight for the reduction of elevator and wharfage will be renewed by the canal men when the tegislature meets, but it is doubtful if they will succeed in effecting their purpose.The produce exchange bas always opposed them and the Buffalo ecalpers, who by the way have all combined this season under the title of the Buffalo Forwarders\u2019 Association, show no inclination to interfere with the big elevator association.It would seem therefore that the canal and barbor boatmen\u2019s protective union will, as heretofore, be compelled to fight its own battles.The canals will probably\u2019 close by Dec.1 unless, beavy frosts set in prior to that dats, and it is believed that the total number of busbels of grain carried this season will fall several mil- | lions behind last year's aggregate, men, and will, of course, have their ef-\u2019 MONDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 10, 1890.HERALD WILL INSERT \u201cWANTS\u201d 3 LINES FROM POVERTY & CRIME GOOD LORD DELIVER US Gen.Booth\u2019s Scheme for the Redemption of the Masses Receives Hearty Support.MORE IRISH EVICTIONS THIS WEEK The Peculiarly Constituted Landlords of Ireland Expect to Receive Rents.SPECIAL TO THE HERALD, Loxpon, Nov.9.\u2014Archdeacon Farrar delivered an earnest address this morn- rg at Westminster Abbey in support of the scheme of Gen.Booth for the redemption of England's poverty-stricken masses.The announcement that the deacon would speak on this topic had attracted such a throng \u2018of people that after the abbey had been crowded fo its utmost capacity thousands were turned away unable to gain admission, Gen.Booth\u2019s novel and alluring plan is now one of the chief eub- jects of public interest.Twenty leading clergymen of Great Britain have signed an\u2018appeal to the people to raise the $5, 000,000 which Gen.Booth thinks would be required to successfully carry out the enterprise.Cardinal Manning and most of the Protestant bishops have endorsed the plan.The Prince of Wales has written Gen.Booth heartily approving the scheme, which he describes as an intelligent and promising effort \u201cto aid the people whose welfare is near my heart.\u201d But Gen.Booth is being met by controversy and criticism as well as approval.Many who agree with him as to the need of remedial measures believe the help must be through legislation.Mr.Booth proposes to apply his panacea without invoking the aid of Parliament.His most formidable critics contrast the enormous possibilities of useful legislation affecting the land of the whole country with his proposal concerning a mere garden patch of 1000 acres.Gen.Booth\u2019s first step, that of a city colony, is based upon experience, and is, in fact, the * casual ward\u2019 under a new name and with somewhat more kindly conditions than those of the workhouse.But the Money is Minus, No practical person seems to think the £1,000,000 required for the whole work will be forthcoming.The 1000 acres might possibly provide for 4000 workers but what is that, it is asked, among 80 many?It would be an experiment on à smaller scale than that of Robert Owen, though possibly with better assurances of success, but it is asked if the 1000- acre colony is to flourish why not stop there?Seeing that within a 50-mile redivs of London there are wide districts .so very sparsely populated, why deal with colonies over the sea?Rural England is one of the most thickly populated countries in Europe.Mr.De Lesle, tbe Tory member of Parliament for part of Leicestershire, recently said that he looked forward to the people of Epglard being as the result of education happy not so much in their own country as in tbe colonies.Mr.Booth seems to be of the same opinion and to feel him- gelf precluded from an appeal to Parliament, but the problem with which he grapples may not be so easy of solution without Government co-operation as he seems to believe.To Develop Wost Africa, The Liverpool Journal ot Commerce states that the Duke of Westminster, one of the wealthiest men in England, has associated himself with Stanley in a company formed for the purpose of developing the resources of various regions inn West Africa.The Duke is floating the company\u2019s stock and it is expected that active operations will be commenced at vo distant date, probably under Stanley\u2019s personal supervision.Another whole sale eviction of non- rent paying tenants from the Olphert estates at Yalcarragh, county Donegal, will take place next Tuesday.250 families comprising 1500 persons will be thrust from their humble abodes into the highways.An immense force of police and military bave Leen ordered to the spot in order to prevent any successfal resistance on the part of the tenants or their friends.This announcement following so closely upon Chief Secretary Balfour\u2019s tour of Donegal, has caused a painful impression and if the secretary's visit bad In any degree inclined the people to hope and patience, the good effects are likely to be lost in the renewed bitterness of feeling always caused by the unbousing of hundreds of helpless victims of the rack rent eystem.etl SHERBROOKE JOTTINGS.Gossip About Provincial People in the Hub of Canada.Chief Davidson opened the

were couched in language deemed more than disrespectful to the collegiate authorities.So far as the junior scholars are concerned the matter was settled by setting them back a term or mors, according to their years, as a punishment.The senior students were ordered to apologize, and two or three bave done so,but the others bold out and the difficulty has reached such proportions that it is said they now bave no other alternative but to apologize or be expelled from the college.NEW ONTARIO CANAL SYSTEM, Mineral Ores From \u201cWay Back To Be Put on the Market.TRENT VALLEY CANAL COMMISSION, A Natural and Almost Ready-Made Waterway to Carry the Extensive Trade and Produce of Upper Ontario.SPECIAX TO THE HERALD.BurraLo, N.Y., Nov, 9.\u2014Judge Willard, of Peterboro, Frank Turner, civil engineer, of Toroato, and Jinn Kennedy, civil engineer, of Montreal, with Secretary H.J.Wickbain of the Trent Valley Canal Commission, are staying at the Iroquois.Secretary Wickham was found in the lobby of the hotel last evening and asked what the presencye of the commis- gion in Buffalo signified.* This commission, \u201d said he, \u2018\u2018is to investigate into tbe practicability of copnecting by locks and short causis the system of inland lakes in Canada back of Lake Ontario\u2014Pigeon Lake, Sturgeon Lake and the whole string.By conuecting tbess lukes it would make à Lew water way of about 150 miles, which would greatly benefit and develop the entire country thereabouts.Tbis string of lakes conuecteu would make a water way of considerably over two-thirds of the distance hetween Lake Ontario and the Georgian Bay and as that locality is rich in iron ore ii could be carried at a low freightage to this country.\u201d » \u201cBut why has the Commission come to Buffalo?\u201d \u201cTo examine the canal system, principally tbe locks at Lockport.The otber gentlemen spend to-day, or rather the morping,there and to-day one will make a flying trip to Tonawanda.They are all anxious to examine the canal barges and particularly the steam barges and some time will be spent in 80 doing.\u201d - A Joke on a Bobby.Sunday morning was just being ushered in when within a short distance of the Cathedral there came a cry for help and immediately afterwards \u201c police,\u201d \u201cpolice,\u201d was shouted in a sentorian voice.A cab dashed up a side street, but quick as it went a policeman closely followed and collared it after running right round the block.Before the policeman spied the hack, and after the shout, two men leaped from it and sped away in the darkness, so that when the cab was brought to a halt there was no one in it but a drunken French Canadian driver.He could give no explanation of the cries except that he was telling his horse to \u201cget up.\u201d After prom- 18ing to go to Mile End, where he lived, the aimont * done-up\u201d policeman allowed him to depart.Now comes the funny part of the story.When the cry wae heard the bobby was taking a quiet smoke, but as duty before pleasure was his motto, he quickly shoved his lighted pire into his hind coat pocket and began the chase.In the same pocket was a box of matches and these took fire ere he had travelled very far.Not, however, until his job was finished did he notice the smell of burning, and putting his hand in his pocket drew forth the lighted box and ite contgnts.Turning to à youth the burning lining was quickly smothered and the arm of the law wae saved, though he looked far more pele than the man who had a few moments before been all but a prisoner.Sait for Breach of Contract, SPECIAL TO THE HERALD.Cuicaco, Nov.9.\u2014Chas.Lewis, a New York broker, begun suit in the Circuit Court yesterday to recover $65,000 damages from Lydia

America.MR.CHAPLIN.ON CATTLE IMPORTS.His Utterances Vehemently Ape plauded by Tory Squires and Farmers.SPECIAL TO THE HERALD.New York, Nov.9.\u2014A special London cablegram to The Sun says: Mr.Chaplin, Minister of Agriculture, has always denied that in maintaining the restrictions on the importation of live cattle tromthe United States he has been actuated by any motives ôther than a desire to protect British stock from imported disease.But in a speech which he made last night at a meeting of Tory farmers and others \u2018at Duffield, in Yorkshire, pretty clearly indicates that he entertains feelings anything but cordial toward the United States Government, and that if he dared he would joyfully prohibit altogether the importation of American cattle.He professed sorrow at being compelled to restrict importations from friendly countries like Holland and Germany, but in regard to the United States he did not trouble himself even to feign regret.Amid the approving cheers and laughter of his audience he predicted a good time coming when British farmers would cease to receive store stock from America and defiantly declared that he was not afraid of the MeKinley bill or any other retaliatory weapon which Congress might place in the bands of the United States Government.Have Been Repeatedly Warned.American exporters have been repeatedly warned in this correspondence against expecting any favor or consideration from Mr.Chaplin and they may as well understand now that so far as America is concerned the policy of the British Boerd of Agriculture will become more and more of a protectionist nature, The only chance of a change to a more friendly state of things for many years to ccme is 8 Liberal victory at the next general election.Should Mr.Gladstone return to pcwer the consumers who are complaining of high prices would soon receive consideration and the fiction tbat every foreign country was infected with cattle disease would be quickly exposed and denounced.Meanwhile British farmers, who are Tories and supporters of the present government, almost to a man, are filling their owa rockets and inflating Chaplin, who is by nature a wind bag, with adulation.In less than a year their cattle have increased by 369,000, their sheep and lambs by 1,140,000 and their pigs by 262,000.Cnaplin promises still greater benefits in the immediate future,and the various agriculturaisocieties emboldened by their success in the past, will support him heartily in any further steps which he may venture to take againat foreign countries in general and America in particular.These bedies are just now conducting a strong agitation in favor of the propc&al that foreign meats sold in British markets should be labelled as such, the object of the course being to depreciate the imported article and send up the price of home produce.There are obviously many difficulties in the way of such an arrangement, but it is by no means improbable that Parliament in the coming session wiil be asked to legislate in that direction probably by enacting that anyone selling foreign meats (shall ba -re- quired, under heavy penalties, to put np an announcement to that effect.Comes Inte Force After Monday Next.At the moment of cabling I learn that Mr.Chaplin has received an official notification from the Department of Agriculture at Washington to the effect that the meat billand the new orders and regulations for inspection of cattle and sheep for export will come into effect on and after Monday nextin Kansas City, Chicago, Buffalo, Pittsburg, Boston, Charlestown, New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Norfolk and Newport Ne ws.Doubtless Mr.Chaplin was in possession of this ;information when he went to New York to speak Jast night.It is, therefore, important to know exactly what he said respecting the meat bill.Here is a verbatim report of that part of his speech.You will have seen that power has been given to the president of the United States absolutely to prohibit the importation of goods from any country which, in accordance with his idea, might be acting unfairly to the U.S.Well the Americans considered themselves aggrieved that the English minister of agriculture should continue to insist that cattle from their country should be slanghtered at the \u201cport of debarkation, and it was hinted that in retaliation the President might absolutely prohibit the importation of Manchester, Birmingham and other British goods into America.I do not thing Iam likely to be less obdurate in the future because of this threat than I have been in the past, because the informaiion of the Board of Agriculture is that, in spite of all the efforts made in America to extirpate pleuro pneumonia, that disease still exists there.This being so, I conceive it to be the duty of the English Minister of Agriculture to continue to pursue precisely the same policy 88 be would bave thought it right to pir- sre bad their meat bill never been heard of at all.~~ Mr.Pelletier Falls Into Line, SPECIAL TO THE HERALD, Quesec, ov.9,\u2014Mr.Pelletier in last night's Justice declares that bis articles in The Justice on the asylam question, to which

Alleviated by Public Works.TRUST TO BALFOUR'S GENEROSITY, .To Keep the Natives Barely Alive is Now the Policy ofthe Chosen Leaders of the Irish People.SPECIAL TO THE HERALD.New Yorg, Nov.9.\u2014The American committee for the relief of famine in Ireland has issued a statement announcing the temporary withdrawal of its appeal tothe American people.At the time the appeal was issued,the committee says there was no reason for believing that the distress which would follow the fail- ureof the potato crop in Ireland would be relieved otherwise than by American generoosity.no steps having been taken by the British Government to meet the cricis.The first effect of the action of the American committee was to provoke flfppant denials from the Government press that distress existed, or that famine was threatened, Nevertheless the development nas been such thatthe Government has been spurred to investigate the sit- \u2018uation and undertake a systemof public, works in the distressed districts which by affording partial relief will at least postpone the threatened famine.The committee has reason to believe that this sudden activity of the British Government i8 largely due to the sympathies and support offered from America.Inasmuch as the Government is now pledged to prevent distress coming to the Irish people the committee is of opinion that there may be mo peed of sending food and clothing to Ireland from America.\u2018Ibis conclusion is reached after friendly coneultations with the representatives of the Irish people now in America, who represent that it would introduce an interfering element into Irish politics if aid in any shape should be seat to Ireland by any charitable agency before the present resources of the imperilled peasants] were exhausted.When that point is reached, if it does come, the committee will renew its appeal and trust to the generosity of the American public to carry on an adequate relief movement.The crisis will come at about the close of the year, and it will then be apparent whether the pledges of the British Government are to be kept and whether the relief measures promised under its auspices will be adequate,and meanwhile the committee will maintain its organization so that it may act promptly if recessary.\u2014_\u2014_\u2014\u2014 Epp\u2019s Cocoa\u2014Grateful andComfortin® \u201cBy a thorough knowledge of the

Spsardam, from Rote terdam to this port, which landed her 431 immigrants at the Barge Office to-day.The complaints against this steamer made by her steerage passengers are not ouly widespread, but they are upheld by the official utterances of the physicians who received the immigrants at the Barge Office, and who discovered that nearly a dozen of these passengers who seemed ill were really suffering | from what medical men call \u201cnon-natrition,\u201d and what the steerage passengers thems= selves declare to be insufficient and 1m- proper food.When these 431.immigrants were landed at the Barge Office the doctors demanded examination of nearly a dozen men,women and chiidren, who seemed to be consumptive or sufferers from some disease at that time unknown.After the first barge load bad arrived these seeming pick people were taken to the medical wards and there examined by the physicians, For a little while tbe sy mptons were puzzling, but & moment later Dr.Maguire cried out: \u201cWhy, this child is starving.\u201d The other attendant physicians corroborated the assertion and a complete examination on the by pothesis that the people were suffering from lack of food, proved tnat Dr.Maguire was right, and the physicians in charge of the staff at the barge otfice corroborated the diagnosis of his junior.Ove by one the women and children were examiped and with the same result, The Food was Bad.The physician in charge said that there seemed no doubt but that the food offered these immigrants was not only insufficiently nutritious, but was in a considerable degree responsible for the eruptiong'which had in a great many cases appeared upon the younger of the steerage passengers, We did not ac a casual examination make out what was the matter with them, said he, but we could tell by the pallor of their faces that some existed, 80 we kept them apart till later when be bad time for careful examination.It was then only too evident that poor and insufficient food was the cav of the trouble.In %trong corroberation of the doctors\u2019 report came the complaint by Annie M.Fallenstein, who was a steerage passenger.\u201cI was very ll\u201d she said, \u201cand ;could not eat anything at all.The motion of the ship was terrible and 1 was nausated all the time, I sent fr the sbip\u2019s doctor and he told me I would be all right soon.For three days I had neither tood nor medical attendance, although I sent for the chip doctor every day two or three times, but except the first time he did not come at all and I suffered- in con- gequence, so that when I landed I was detained by the doctors at the landing until my case was investigated.Antonia and Francis Gouziska who were on th> Spaarndam made similar complaints saying that the food was not only poor but very insufficient.The Officers Were Surly.At the office of the Netherland Ameri« can Steamship Company the officials were especially surly.A gentleman, seemingly in authority, said that at the office they had heard nothing of the complaints and knew nothing of the matter.They would not gi of the doctor on the Sonar, on Was afterward found to be Dr.Hintze.Others of the most intelligent immigrants on the steamer said that they believed the steamship people counted on the immigrants being seasick, and therefore did not provide enough food, It is believed that these complaints will be laid bef, General O\u2019Byrne for investigation.ore Equal Rights, ; All have equal rights in life and liberty and the pursuit of happiness, but many are handicapped in \u2018he

bill that bears his name.The Parig edition of Toe New York Herald leads off by heading the United States election returns with the following couplet : Down went McKinley to the bottom of the sea, All dressed in his high tariff clothes, \u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 8: ME Tory journals have proposed that _.apexjort duty should be imposed on crude nickel so a8 to prevent that mineral being taken from Sudbury into the United States, and compel the establishe ment of smelting and refining works in Canada.The Ottawa Journal, Conservative, tells these people they are \u2018protec.tion-mad,\u201d and says \u201cif the great cost of transportion of cumbrous raw ore is not &1 fficient to encourage refining works Near the mines, an export duty will not do it.\u201d tiff Parmies interested in asbestos mines bave taken alarm at a reterence in the Governor\u2019s speech at the opening of the Legislature to the levying of a special duty on the working of mines.The aa- bestos men say\u2014what is quite reason- able\u2014that mining companies are already subject to the commercial corporations tax, and take the view that any additional impost would be unjust, We do not think Mr.Mercier will impose on the mning industries any unjust tax ; he can be depended upon to give every consideration to representations which may be made to him by those interested in our mining industries.What the Prem- jer probably has in view is the imposition of a royalty similar to that paid by the coal and gold mines in Nova Scotia and elsewhere, LIGHT BREAKING UPON THEM.The victory of the Democrats in the recent United States elections has a double signifivaite.It shows, of course, that the eyes of a great number of men, hitherto humbugged ty the political agents of the trusts, have been openad, and it shows that Americans are not the slaves to party that they have been charged with being.They stood a great deal from the Republican leaders because those leaders represented the Spirit that saved the Union, but we all see that there is a limit to their forbearance.Probably the same thing will be seen in Canada.Here there are two sections whose confidence has been abused by the Tory circle that deminates this country \u2014the men who hoped almost against hope that corruption had had its day,and that with clean consciences they might in the future support the men with whom they have been so long politically associated, and those who were deceived by the false promises and still falser policy that has hampered their business, depleted their purses, and robbed them to enrich the partners in the conspiracy by which they have been despoiled.Some sympathy may be felt for those, who, actuated by the beat of motives ia selecting their friends, have found themselves drawn into the stream of pollution that springs from the secret fountains of Ottawa.They had no idea that such things would be.They inculcate morality and honesty upon those who look to them for guidance; they blush on discovering that within the folds of the Union Jack there exists nob such a mass of political rotteaness as that which spreads and poisons by means of their aid.The point has been passed to which the limit of their extenuation reached ; they now hear of the evils they bave assisted in ripering in silent repentance.The saturpalia of robbery and jobbery, the hardly concealed prostitution of public trust, such as described by.one of the chief sinners, the impudent declaration of intended fraud upon the electors made bythe very head and front of their party, are painful facts wbich those who have trusted Sir John Macdonald have had thrust upon them.In his guilt, fringes of which only have been laid bare, they have been made partners; in shame they have no companionship with him for he is incapable of it.On their continued complaisance, however, he counts to shield him from censure.He bas opened the bottle with them and expects them to drink to the dregs.It has been a long debauch and he will keep it up; when he has had enough of it, the headache must be suffered by others.For others be cures not.That is his guiding principle.It may be, Lowever, that the conscience of the better conservatives is awakening, that Canadians no more than other Englishmen or Americans are the bond slaves of a political organization and that those who should be respected , for their inflaence and the way in which they use it will cease to longer defend or condone the practices of the political brigands who vaunt the support of honest men as a plea for their existence and depredations.The general public of Canada can hardly fail to put their own construction on the defeat of the high protectionist party.The American farmers have been squeezed for the benefit of the American c'mbices, and as a sop to them Major McKinley's bill was passed.In the same way for nine years the Canadian farmer has bled for the monopolists of the red parlor, receiving at the eleventh hour a tone from the Govemomeut to keep him quiet while fresh duties were im posed, hitting both wage earner and farmer, to please the men whom Sir John 1s accustomed to call upon for funds.All the rhetoric of the Republican managers, all the money that could be extracted from the manufacturers, all the appeals to anti-foreign sentiment, were insufficient to blind the Americans to the fact that they had been systematically robbed and that the McKinley bill was merely another turn of the screw.It may be that Canadian intelligence will be as quick to detect the imposition that is being practiced upon the country as was that of the States.The farmers of the Dominion appear to be realizing the Israel in Egypt kind of condition into which the Government\u2019s \u201cprotection\u201d bas brought them, and that while fresh burdens are yearly laid upon them the means of bearing them are less.The weekly wage earner is fast learning, if he bas not already learned, that his money does not go as far as it used to, that in England four shillings buy far more than is bought sith a dollar in Canada, and be is beginning to ask, how a certain clique of monopolists can afford to provide large sums of money for the Government's secret usage except it be to obtain legislation by which these monopolists can extract undue gains from the public.They who ask this are the public; it is they who pay that themselves may be robbed, and though it may be possible for the press of the restriction- ists to hide this In delusive argument, the real sufferers are beginning to arrive at the truth.They have done so in the States; it will be Canada\u2019s tarn next.ee THE NEW HOTEL AT QUEBEC.The new hotel that is to be built on the site of the old parliament buildings in Quebec will, we are confident, be of great benefit to the oldest and most picturesque city in the Dominion, Quebec has always heen a favorite point with American travellers, while it is endeared to Ecglishmen cf the oli country by many historical associations.No visitor feels that he has \u201cdone Canada\u201d until he has seen the city of Wolfe and Montcalm.And it goes without saying that the more comfort and luxury that is offered to the travellinz public, by so much is the amount of travel increased.The Windsor Hotel did much for Montreal.The addition thus made to the higher class of accommodation brought increased numbers to this city during the summer time, and, gave Montreal a reputation for comfort, which results in a steady flow of visitors who might otherwise determine on some other route.In the same way it will be necessary only to make known the fact that Quebec has erected à new hotel of the first rate to increase the volume of summer travellers who make for that city.Visitors invariably come away charmed with the place, and if the American, who loves comfort while travelling, can tell his neighbor at home of a uew and luxurious travellers\u2019 palace overlooking the 8t, Lawrence it will be found that a great increase In business will be the result.=\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 WHITHER ARE WE DRIFTING ?A few days ago a cable despatch announced that General Laurie, M.P.for Shelburne, N.8., at an Imperial Federation meeting, had created intense disgust among his brother Imp Fels, by praising protection and the McKinley bill, fer which he was dubbed \u201cBalaam\u2019s Ass\u201d by the London Star.Fuller reports of tbe General\u2019s apeech indicate that he took advanced ground respecting Canada\u2019s status in the Empire, claiming that she wad an independent State.He said \u201cthey must not talk of Canada as a \u201ccolony.That was a term long past.\u201c* Canada was a country, à Dominion of \u201c itealf, and could not be held in leading \u201cstrings any longer.It was an allied \u201cstato and not any longer a depend- \u201cency.\u201d And after thus boldly declaring for Canadian independence the Gea- eral sent a cold chill down the backs of his auditors by telling them that Imperial Federation was impracticable unless accompanied by preferential trade arrapgements, which meant that England must discriminate in favor of her colonies and against the rest of the world in trade aod\u2019 tariff matters.That, of course, means that Imperial Federation is dead \u2014the Tory party in Canada still fondles the corpse\u2014for British statesmen will not for a moment dicker with a trade policy which involves discrimination against trade with foreign countries to the amount of $2,770,000,000, and in favor of Colonialtrade amounting to only #935,000,000.As to General Laurie\u2019s declaration of Canadian independence, Liverals will not find fault with him for having the courage of his convictions; for purposes of discipline they are content to leave him in the hands of his \u201ctrooly loil\u201d Tory friends who say they draw their inspirations from Evgland.It is, however, worthy of note tbat some American papers have seized upon the General's utterances as indicating that Canada, as well as Australia, 18 rapidly travelling to the point when she will demand separation from the empire and complete auicnomy.Que paper says, \u201cCanada and Australia are strainiug \u201cagainst the bonds that hold them to the \u201cmother country.Great Britain will \u2018 be stronger than ever if she wisely ro- \u201c cognizes that these, her children, have \u2018 attained the\u2018r majority\u2019\u201d The world moves.A few days ago a leading Halifax Conservative *\u2018spoke out in meet ing,\u201d and declared that if the present policy of the Dominion Government was continued the country would be compelled to seek relief in annexation, and not a single loyal Tory sheet in Canada\u2019 has taken the trouble to denounce bim or even to protest against his langnaze.Just about the same time a Conservative member of the Dominion House of Commons rises to explain to the people of England that Canada cannot be held any longer in leading strings, that she is an independent Dominion, and not a single Canadian Tory newspaper ventures a word of protest.With such evidences of the Tory party being \u201choney-combed with treason,\u201d Liberals and Liberal newspapers can afford to stand by and enquire, \u201c whither are we drifting?\u201d It looks as if Tory politicians and some Tory newspapers, with the full consent of the leaders of the party, had undertaken the task of convincing or American neighbors that Canada is ripe for annexation, in the hope of thus heading off the reciprocity movement.\u2014_\u2014 CONSTITUTIONAL REFORMS IN CHILI About the time the revolution occurred inthe Argentine Republic last summer an intimation was made in despatches from South America that trouble was brewing in Chill.The anticipated revolution did not materialize and nothing has since been heard of it.Harper's Monthly for November, however, contains an article on constitutional changes in Chili, written by Theodore Child, which throws some light on the situation in that country.The Government was nominally republican, but the President, being invested with extensive centralized powers, practically occupied the position of dictator and had been able not only to control the course of legislation in the most absolute way, but also to dictate the Presidential sac- cession and to manipulate the entire electoral system.Popular dissatisfaction with this state of affairs had been growing in intensity for some years and materialized in a determination on the part of Congress, when it opened in June last, to make an attempt to deprive the Presidency of some of its swollea dictatorial power.This was the origin of the report that a revolution was brewing in that country.President Balmaceda saw what was coming, and endeavnred to head it off bg sending a somewhat conciliatory message to Congress, declaring himself on the side of the popular agitation and strongly recon mending reforms in the Constitation of 1833, fot the purpose of securing a greater degree of home rule to provinces and municipalities, and of more clearly defining the respective powers of the three co-ordinate branches of the general gov- ernment.While admitting that too much weight was assigned to the President by the constitution, he adroitiy argued that the stability and domestic peace enjoved by the country during the past thirty years had been largely due to a strong centralized government.Therefore, while appearing to make concessions to the popular demand for reform and asking to be freed from some of his responsibiti- ties, he objected to being deprived of any of his dictatorial prerogatives, claiming that he must remain independent of the Legislature, must retsin the vato power, and have the control of all puble offices having to do with general, as Cistinet from loesl, interests.Congress did not take kindly to President Balma- ceda\u2019s program of constitutional reforms \u2014the people's representatives wanted the substancs as well as the shadow\u2014 and their first step was to pass a resola- tion calling upon the Ministry to resign and asking the President to appoint a Cabinet acceptable to the two Chambers, He replied by calling on the Couneil of State to enforce the laws restrict ing the rights of popular assem- biage 80 as to head off popular agitation, Then ensued a period of discord which ended.in the Chambers cutting off the supplies by refusing to vote the budget.Later on the Senate passed a bill calling for a constitutional amendment which provided that Congress could be convoked without the assent of the President, that nominations to office should he submitted t) the approval of the Senate, and that the Cabinet should resign whenever a majority of the two houses, or two-thirds of one of them, should demand it, and the same day the lower house adopted a resolution calling for a reform in the constitation which would deprive the President of the veto power, The dead lock continued for some time, but finally the President succumbed to the pressure brought to bear upon him, making one concession after another, till, early in August, an entirely new cabinet was formed, and on the eleveath of that month the new Ministers appeared before Congress and announced their program of coustitational reforms.The crisis was thus brought to an end, the President was thorougily beaten and tle constitutional reforms demanded by the people fully conceded; and what is more, all this was secured without any of those disturbances which form so marked a feature of South American political history.Tuis fact indicates a higher degree of civilization, a faller appreciation of political reaponsibility on the part of the people, and a more correct knowledge of the principles of constitutional Government in Chili,than prevails in any of the Ceatral or South American Republics.In fact Chili appears to have cutgrown the period of dic.ators and revolution and can be depended upon to effect political and other reforms by ordinary constitutional methods.i KICKING M\u2019KINLEY.ae Major McKinley is being made the scapegoat for the Rapublican party.A few weeks ago he was an overshadowing personality among Republican politicians : now ke is as small as any other man, and \u201cMcKinleyism\u201d now is being roundly execrated at all points as the cause of the Republican disaster.Already the lesson taught by the elections is being impressed upon the Republican leaders, This 18 clearly seen from the suggestions which are being made by leading Republican journals as to the future policy of the Republican party.The Chicago Tribune savs : There are two ways in which to deal with the present landslide.One is by the Presideat calling Congress together on March 5 and allowing the new House to have its free trade way, which would be followed by a popular revulsion.The other is by doing away with McKinleyism and adopting Mz.Blaine\u2019s plan at the coming short session.That is the shortest and best way toget out of a bad scrape.The lamp of life of the present Congress will hold out to burn for a few months more.If its members have learned anything in the hard school of November experience, they will hasten this winter to adopt a reciprocity plan on the lines laid down by Mr.Blaine and give him a chance to carry out his grand pro- Jects, so that the country may be enjoying their benefits in 1892.This goes a long wayto confirm the opinion of Mr.J.8.Ritchie\u2014as noted in an interview in Saturday\u2019s Herald\u2014that the Republicans themselves will repeal the McKinley bill.The people are on top this time.SO LIKE ONE OF HIS TRICKS.If Sir Richard Cartwright has been trustworth.ly informed Sir John Macdo* nald is contemplating one of these tricks in which his soul delights, and at which hig political opponents would laugh as heartily as the oli man himself.It appears that the great aad only loyal unrestricted reciprocitas rian and free trade protectionist 4 is beginning to be alarmed by the spread of knowledge in the Dominion and the consequent dislike of his trade policy evident throughout the country.He therefore contemplates following up Sir Charles Tupper's suggestion and proposing unlimited reciprocity with the United States.B t were he to do this before the elections he would get ne money from the red parlor, or help of apy kind from the monopolists, so the plar which he is maturing, according to Sir Richard\u2019s authority, is to levy a good round sum on the -red parlor first and, that having bean secured, to tara round, accept the \u2018policy of the Liberal party and declare for reciprocity.In this echeme thero is that dash of treason to bis friends wbich so wins Sir John\u2019s acceptance.To feel that he has got the better of the men who served him and dared to requiie a return for their service, would simply be ecstacy to the associate of Sir Allan McNab, the friend of many dead Conservatives, It has everything to commend it\u2014:o Sir Johu Macs donald, THE M ONTREAL HERALD, MONDAY, NOVEMBER 10, 1890 Carsley\u2019s Advertisemuet MONDAY,
