I hear now for the first time that two of the great rell-\u2019 Ways in Canada had anything to do with my resignation, and, speaking for myself.T de hot kirow and have no Information which would lead me to be-: lieve tnat the railways in question vere antagonizing the Governnient.Third\u2014That 1 conspired with others to make an attack upon the adiminis- tration of the Department of the

own mind.No on ever mentioned the subject Le moe, nor did 1 to any one.Fourth-As to my having consplred with anv one to expose semnduis against the Government on the eve of the election.The statement is wholly void of truth: such an intention on Any one's part, I hear for the first tin: from the World's publication.Fifth\u2014What is alleged us to the fn- tended withdrawid of the Quebec candidates is, so fur us Tam concerned, ar am aware, an entire fable, The &tatement is the creation of a very isorder-d or a very malicious mind, and, indeed, the same may be sid with regard! almost to the whole

telegram contained all the reaffirmation of my views on the ratlwav question I had at any time fn contemplation, Seventh\u2014IJt ie said the fear of the gisclosnre of some secret compelled me to silence, and that Str Wilfrid Laurier was able to raerre me tn pursue this course.If auy one, either tor outside the Government is jn possession of a secret of the nature described, 1 hereby not only give him ermission to disclose ft, but Invite im to do so.I make the statement {n the most explicit terms, that no liv.tng man, either Sir Wilfrid nor any nther person, ever made any threat io me or by any other means sought to rompel me to silence.I will say this for Sir Wilfrid, and he will bear me out fn what I have saîd, :uxd also in what I! am now about to say, that he did not «ven suggest

London, December 6.\u2014Lord Rose- bery, speaking at Glasgow last night, sald he and others had *beend hunting for the famous offer the colonies are baid to have made.From the contradictory reports at the mass meeting at Melbourne he wag Inclined to think that the whole of Chamberlain's policy had not reached the people of Canada end Australia.If he had eny infiu- ence he would t mit the following authoritative sentence from Mr.Chamberlain's lipe;* \u201cOur colonial fellow- subjects are growing every day strength and power, We have hither to borne alone the burden of our great Empire, we now look to them to share that burden with us, as they have its priviieges.\u201d\u201d If that sentence had not reached Canada and Australia, it was equivalent to the jam without the pill.Yet nobody outside a lunatic asylum would ask tho people of Great Britain besides bearmg the cost of Empire alone, to have a tax on its food for the benefit of its kinsmen across the sea.Therefore, their anxious colonial kinsmen, when weighing the advantages and disadvantages of Chamberlain's policy should know what it means.He fooked upon a free co-operaiion in offers of money and men in times of dif- ticulty as surer securities to the Empire than any artificial contribution which might be exacted or withheld.He thought these artificial bonds were calculated in thelr essence and result to be the soonest and swiftest dissolv- ents of the Empire.© Referring to the proposed Colonial conference he sald it was quite obvious it was not a conference for the union of the Empire, but a union of the Conservative party.Putting aslde the questions of the tariff and taxation of food, Lord Rosebery sald the objection to the plan was that the Empire, If subjected to a straln of pecuniary Interests pulling in opposite directions he fabric will not long resist.If cupidities are sect on foot in every direction trying to get more and more out of tariffs for the different colonies the Interests of the Empire will at \u2018last be found drawn ahnd-quartered by these contending iriterests.Nature forbids an Imperial customs | union between \u2018countries separated by thousands of miles and on the other] hand, local liberties throughout the Empire forbid an attempt to connect the Empire by tiles of commercial | ple\u2014rather too ample\u2014time for research; and

chorus The chorus was beautilully owned, lu fact the whole production Was eétaged with an elaboruenuess ot detail worthy of a better cause.The feature of the gvening was a ses ries of imitations by Miss lsie Janis, which made a decided hit, Edward Metcalfe; as the gypsy musician, disclosed a fine baës voice, which won well-deserved applause, The rest of the company made the most of thelr opportunities.The piece could stand à good deal of condensation without loes.| work.FILANCAIS MUSIC HALL.- \u2018The bill of fare offered to the patrons of the Theatre Francais this week is a Bood deal more palatable than that : dished up to them clther last week or the week before.There is an Improvement all through, this being the case particularly with the farce presented during the second

the usual array of musical instruments, also bringing in some new ones, aud winding up on a string of tin caus.Van Auken and Vannerson do éome of the best acrobatic work seen in some time, and although the horizoftal bar act is probably overdoue, yet thelr work was received, with round after rcungd of applause.Mac Taylor, whom the progranime calls a comedienne, \u2018Boyce and Beeson, black-faca comedians, and the Burdock sisters, dancers and acrobats, are mo better than the average, although they are no worse, The wm sical farce, \u201cTlddle- Dce-Winks,\u201d is entitled to some words of praise.The skit is well put on, the principals are all a pleasant surprise and do their parts full justice.and in addition to th'e the chorus sings Nicely, dances exceedingly well, and gives evidence of careful tralniug.There are a number of very catchy songs sung, chlef among which are \u2018Swcet-| hearts in Every Port,\u201d and \u201cUncle: Sam's Children,\u201d in which family Canada

second, that it was necessary for him to resign from the Commission imme- { diately.4 He sald he could not \u2018in my own interest\u201d \u201cforego personal advantages which are open to me employment\u201d;

gell to the Gazette in the words \u201cwhen 1 persuaded bim to resign his position.\u201d ! ee MR.BORDEN AND THE CONSPIRACY.In the interview given by Hon, Mr.Emmerson mention is made of a conference between Mr.R.'L.Borden, leader of the Opposition, Mr.David Russell, and others, in a private car, on the road between Fredericton and Su John, Mr.Emmerson, of course, does not pretend to say, or.to know, what took place.Mr.Emmerson mentions October 22 .as the date, that is to say the Salurday \u2018following \u2018Mr.Blair's resignation, The Herald of Monday October 24, told of a meeting in 8t, John between Mr.Borden, Mr.Jyssell and several local Conservative leaders, and of Mr.Russell's announced intention to give Mr.Blair a banquet at the Windsor Hotel, in Montreal, which should throw the Cale- donla Springs affair into the shade.On Wednesday of the same week there appeared in the press a circular from Mr, Borden couched as follows: \u201cTo avoid misunderstanding, it has been thought best to distinctly declare that the Con- æervative party will receive subscriptions only from those who favor Its general policy, that such subscriptions are not to he understood as creating claims to consideration for any interest likely to be affected by any special feature of that policy.\u201d This waa to the end that \u201cthe feader may have an absolutely free hand in.framing his policy in the interest of the whole country.\u201d And all and sundry were told that if they had made such contribution, they could get their money back from Mr.James Crathern, treasurer.\u2019 This pronouncement, it will be noted, was made by Mr.Borden immediately after the conference at St.John.At the time it was applauded as a spon- tancous and noble declaration for electoral purity, But the Ottawa Citizen, which apparently knows a thing or two about the official Conservytive organization, yesterday made a.state ment which seems to indicate that this \"declaration by Mr.Borden constituted % formal rejection by him of some- > thing he did not like, and as to which, \u2018with proper foresight, he thought it - Bis duty to instantly clear his skirts.\u2014 \u201cAs to source of the mainspring je potion the whole affair there ex- .a deal of doubt but the best information avallable does not sorroborate the World's version.It Ig more far-reaching and more playsible, \u2018Pebold a genius, filled with fire divine!\u201d en a advantage of later cir-| not knoming dal to make him what bs was of an important Twe ep bad » : à bas the jata in other credence, A con- -on the situation, was the issue by the leader of the Conservative party of a manifesto declaring that) the Conservative party would not accept monetary contributions from an interests under circumstances whic would give such Interests or individuals any uence upon the policy to be pursued by the.Conservative party nhould it éucceed to power.\u201d This, in view of all the circumstan- cen, must be considered as a very illuminating plece of commentary, It implies that Mr.Borden knew of a conspiracy, and hastened to cut himself clear of it.The mention of Mr Crathern wag a.very natyral device, perhaps, for it gave the announcement a harmless look.Nobody supposes for a minute that Mr.Crathern would be asked to conduct such operations as undoubtedly were undertaken, or be made privy to such schemes as others actually tried to work.It wad not to Mr.Crathern, for instance, that the telegram from Quebec, \u201cDo your damnedest,\u201d was addressed.Mr.Borden owes it to himself, to his party, and to the public, to say whether the Citizen's friendly interpretation of his pronouncement, made in such circumstances, is the correct one.If it is, his action deserves to bo esteemed on a par with that credited to Sir Wilfrid Laurier of having shown his contempt for threats by tearing up a document and throwing it in the waste basket, Possibly it was partly his letter which kept some of the much advertised.bombshelis from exploding, and which spoiled the chances of some foolish looking wagers made by devoted friends of his who seemed to be \u2018in the Know.\u201d rer THE POLICE AND SUNDAY CLOSING.It is somewhat surpriging to learn that the revelations of general disre- -gard for the provisions of the liquor U- cense law made yesterday by The Herald were no revelations to the chairman of the Police Committee of this city.1f it be true that the committee has long been aware of the fact that Sunday liquor selling was widespread and open in Montreal, and believed that the inefficiency of ex~Chier Le- gault was such that nothing\u2019 could be ; done to stop it, it becomes a grave \u201cquestion why the committee tolerated \"him go long.More than that, it is now.| several weeks since Mr.Legault ceas- | police force, and yet there {a no evi- i dence of anything having been done to « No one will question the timeliness l.0f the revelations made at this juncture, with a hew chief taking hold of Commission ties.But it is unfortunate that they I ghould come just at a moment when there is an official already down and out , who can be uséd as a scapegcat for all i sins whether his own or another's, The ; assurance that the law will be enforced lin future is gratifying, but would be more so if Ald.St.Denis had not de- \u2018 Jayed it until the public was in possession of the knowledge that has been his for so long.Jt \u2018is after all the least assurance \u2018that the body which is primarily re- | sponsible for the policing of this city | could give, and it is a deplorable con- | feesion of incompetence that the Police .Committee should have been prevented .by \u2018the unpopularity of one of their | own employes from giving it before.The question is not one of expediency , or advisability.On that score Ald.St.! Denis ts fully entitled to the belief that ; à brief period of Sunday opening of sa- \"loons would be a good thing for Montreal, and he may very possitly find a i considerable number to share his views.But the law of the Province of Quebec to-day is that liquor shall not be sold in \u2018saloons on Bunday, and that law ! must be enforced, It is not part of the functions.of the Police Committee or of a chief of police to decide what laws shaiïl and what shail not be enforced.A stawte book that can be expurgated by an authority no higher than that can never enjoy the reepect of the publie.To place such discretion fn the hands of such a body is to invite extortion and blackmail.And here arises ithe question: Why were half of the sajouns visited by The Herald open and half of them closed?Thére must ba considerable money in | Sunday liquor selling.Do those who close their places tight \u2018on Sunday do i80 because they think Sunday sclling wrong?Or is it because théy are not on the same footing as others with the police force?rt MAKING OTHERS HAPPY.~The action of Edgar Speyer, a wealthy American banker, in relieving the distress of suffering dcposltors in a defunct savings bank in Needham Market, a little English town, reads more\u2019 like a fairy tale than an -occur- rence in real life.- Mr.Speyer, with his wife, wag touring in an auto car.Passing through Needham Market they learned of the fallure of the Penny.Savings Bank, with its attendant losses falling, as too often happens in such cases, upon those least able to bear them.Touched by the distress of the people, rendered more acute by the approach of winter, Mr.Speyer promptly issued his personal check for an amount sufficient to cover the losses, amounting to $28,600.Larger sums have frequently been given to charitable purposes, but the circumstances under which this gift was mado places Mr.Speyer\u2019s in & unique class among acts of philanthropy.He was a stranger in the town and had no connection with the defunct bank, If no greater Joy can come to a man than that which comes from making others happy, \u2018Mr.Speyer's act has surely brought its own sufficient reward.- | pte INHERITANCE.There llved à man who raised bis hand and - I will be great!\" \u2018 And thro\u2019 a long, long life he bravely knocked At Fame\u2019s closed gate.À son he left who, like bis sire, strove Worn out, be dled, and dying, lett Pacis nas boca, DO trace He also left a Sn iho, without care Or planning how, .Bore the fair letters of a deathless fame\u2019 Upon biz brow, © critical period prior to nomination | 1 In the past doen YE oF 80 many employers have come to.realise that there is an intimate relation between the industrial efficiency of their workmen and the social\u2019 conditions surrounding thelr lives.In Great Britain, more especially, enterprising employers have developed a lively and intelligent interest in the welfare of their work- people, and various movements aiming at the promotion of the physical, intellectual and social wellbeing of the workers have been get on foot.The employer whe provides comfortable homes for his work people may seem to be prompted by philanthropic motives, but he {s in reality less of a phil- anthropiet than a far-seeing business man.The employer is as much Interested in promoting the comfort and welfare of his employes as In providing suitable accommodation for his machinery, in establishing cordial relations with his employes as in the harmonious arrangement of the various parts of his plant.The most Important movement in this direction is undoubtedly that in progress at Port Sunlight, in England.Considered both us a business yngertakiug and as a social experiment, the works and villuge of Port Sunlight rank among the most noteworthy achievements of the time, Where sixteen years ago cattle grazed in vacant fields, there stand to-day enormous and well- planned factories, embloylng directly 3,000 people, and a garden city, peopled by workmen and their families, and provided with more institutions, more facilities, for the advancement of the religious, educational and soclal, well- being of its inhabitants than many large cities can boast of; a workingman's paradise which has attracted the attention and the wonder of the world.At all eeasons of the year visitors from every corner of the globe avail themselves of the privilege, freely granted, of inspecting the famous works and village.Orlental princes, captains of industry from America and Australia, famous statesmen and savants from Europe, labor delegations, members of mothers\u2019 meetings, jack- tars\u2014all classes are proudly shown through the works, and afforded a chance to admire the unique social surroundings of the village.The number of etrangers inspecting the works and village frequently exceeds 5,000 a month, The factory\u2014an enormous single- story \u2018structure \u2014 covers ninety-three acres of ground, and as the aim has been to make the works as self-con- tained and comprehensive as possible, upwards of sixty different trades are carried on under its roof.The .male employes work forty-eight hqurs a week; girlie forty-five.The village accommodates six'hundred familles at a nominal rent of three or five shillinge a week, according to the size of the house; while the employes who live in Birkenhead and other places are conveyed to und jom their homes In special trains at the company\u2019s expense.A large dining room, managed by the company, provides the girly with an excellent mid-day meal at the cost of the food.It eeats 1,300 girls at once, and in it-a girl may obtain for -8ix cents a dinner as good as you would get in Montreal for twenty-five cents.The company has also erected a large dining room for the use of the men, and has turned the management over to the men themselves.The promoters of Port Sunlight, however, emphasize the fact that the pros- perity-sharing system, which provides the workers with healthy homes and pleasant surroundings, Is not a form of philanthropy.They hold that the extraordinary development of their business is In no small degree due to the increased efficiency and definite Interest in the company\u2019s welfare on the part of thelr employes, resultigg from the adoption of the system of prosper- ity-sharing.Lo C.M.pate THE MAN IN THE MARKET PLACE: Editor, Herald:\u2014 Sir \u2014So this.Is what was in the thundercloud! This is the meaning of these ominous mutterings and intermittent flashes lighting up the darkness of the political horizon and revealing cavernous depths of mystery, where crouched unseen strange monsters of fuiqulity.The heavy political atmosphere of the past few weeks was moat oppressive.We all knew some storm had passed nearby .and now the \"tale of shipwreck and disaster comes pouring in.But what a tule might have been told (or perhaps remained untold \u2018for hultf a generation) if the trains had connected\u2014if the fuses had done their appointed work.Let us thank all the powers that he that we had a man who could waste- paper-basket a proposal at the pyscho- logical \u2018moment: and another (not so great), who could tell the conspirator to \u201cdo his damnedest\u201d in true melodramatic style\u2014and yet! and yet! behind the storm was some generating force born of strange dealings.But uo matter, the chiefest villuing are dyly exposed and the co-conspirators gre more than hinted at.Now what will the pedple say?The strange blind patient people who so long as a shred of decency \u2018covers their Ideals will worship on and pay their tithes.What will they do when this tale is duly digested and runs red in thelr Llood?\u201c\u2018Beware the wrath of the patient man.\u201d Will they bury these creatures of darkness, theso crawling things that fatten on their victims while they sleep?WII they pile cairns of contempt and hate over them and go away «nd leave them, or will they gasp.then shrug tho shoulder, then smile a bitter smile and go on thelr patient careless way again?: New forces arc at work in the entire political world at this moment, und it would not be surprising to sce a shifting of the axis which gvill jar and re-arrauge the entire syst&m.The machine that is hugged, the heeler and organizer who thinks he makes the wheel go round must get him to his appointed place in the hades prepared by tho people, who are learning to speak again in that quick im- putlent and decisive way which the Leeler had forgotten.- Perhaps it was worth while to have a Russell and a Graham deal the cards over such a stake just to show the gaping crowd in front of the bulletin boards what goes où inside, how Just the proper quantity of information is measured out at the market place for the consumption of the common people,

beginning to believe what is sald about the Nu- tional Transcontinental Rauliwey.The project may now be suid te have passed the preliminary controversial stage.Four or five years hence, no doubt, when the next elected, there will be a campaign on contracts und contractors.The con- structton work will be nearing completion by that time, and opponents of the Government will be armed with an adequate supply of jnsinuat!on.With one cumphign over and another not begun is the time for truth telling.It is also the time for belleving.Under these circumstances, It is 1n- teresting to learn that the survey part- fes sent out by the construction commission are finding things better than they anticipated.Apparently Canada\u2019s latest line is to be an ideal traffic carrier.The Government expressed the hope of being able to establish a line with au Parliament ls being pric tender.He makes moe by figuring carefully and the werk ex- BF ously and economically.What e makes he generally keeps.The Nar tional Transcontinental contracts are to be let by an independent .- sion and not by active politicians.ore ia little likelihood that the people will not get their road bufit at a fair e.The chances for having the road well and ¢ ly built improve with every contr ng company that appears on the scene.To-day there are lots of them.Canadian contractors aie gathering for the work.Companies are being organized.In the United States and in Bugiand the same thing is going on.When the first tender is called for, and that will be some time next summer, there will be plenty of competl- tion for it.The men who are now reading the Construction Act and learning a fot of interesting restrictions involving British labor, British supplies and British companies having the preference, are well able to finance their undertaking.There will be no halting through dealings with bankrupt contractors.As soon as the surveys are maximum grade of not more than four- tenths of one per cent.That grade 18° equal to a dead level truck for rail- | roading purposes.It takes an extra, pull to sturt a standing train, That: extra pull is just what 1s needed to! lift a train up a four-tenths grade, On| u dead level track an engine might not burn as much coal, but it could not huul any more cars than on the four- tenths grade, because it could not get them started.The hope of getting this line from Winnipeg to Moncton 1s apparently to be realized.There are thirty-two surveying parties in the field, and some of them have been heard from.The reports all assure the low grade.The most awkward spot was the corner of the State of Maine.Engineers who had gone over most of Canada admitted thut the low grade might be obtained on the rest of the route, but in Northern New Brunswick it could not be secured.The route was restricted to such a limited width | of rough territory that the low grade: could not be found.A speclal fnquir- ing campaign was made at thls corner.One enterprising engineer was: sent agulnst the problem, and promised that he would not find it to his disadvantage to secure the low grade route.The result-has been the turning of the awkward corner with a line which wlll have a maximum grade of four-tenths of one per cent for east bound traffic, and six-tenths of one per cent.for west bound traffic.\u2018The commissioners feel this is all they desire.They are certain of being able to bufld a line in wlilch a thousand-ton train can be hauled fron the wheat fields to th seaboard.They Are also confident of being able to compete with the rail and water route for gruin.That is the opinion of more thun one of the commissioners, though they are not saying much about it.In fuct, the commission is too busy building a line to demonstrate this belief, They have little time\u2018 for talk.Another satisfuctory feature of the construction prospects is the Interest of contractors.A surprising number of construction companies want to know when the contract letting 1s to begin, Contractors are black sheep in the public mind.They are generally supposed to be man who do government work, | realize large profits, and whack up with the government.There may be some contractors who answer to this description.There may have beenj some public servants who would co- operate with them.\u2018But on the.whole the contractor is a mun who gets hls contract in open competition by public done the men and the money will be on hand to build the road, There are thir- ty-two parties in the flcld searching out the path for the constructor.Within a few weeks there will be twenty more, and the, route will be covered.The surveying is to be as thoroughly done as tho construction work which is to follow 1t.But there is a chance that some voters in the next elections will travel over the National Transcontinental to thelr polling places.: The construction commissioners hope for this.A.B.H, rare London's Greatest Newspaper.% WEST STORE\u2014 2446 St, Catherine

short time ago when the Times was reducing the rrice of its subscription to $156 a year the editor of a great London daily remarked to me that the move was a mistake.\u201cInstead of lowgring the J

English Trade Says the Canadian and U.S.Dealers Are Being Hurt by a Combine.: The New York Journal of Commierce makes the following interestirig statement: \u201cThe produce trade\u2014export and domestic\u2014of this city 18 much wrought up Just now regarding the cable quotations for American apples in the Eng- llsh market.George A.Cochran, ot Boston, who receives quotations by cable, and to whose attention the matter wag brought, insists that a coterie in England has systematically banded | together for several years past to get {the product of the apple growers of tho + United States and Cunada for little or nothing.He says: \u201cThey resort to dif- terent tactics each yeur to accomplish this purpose, and this year, fortunately for them, they had fairly good crops of apples in Europe to harp on.This they magnified to such an extent that it made many growers in this country feel as if they were going to get little or nothing for their fruit.\u201d Mr.Cochran declares that these particular dealers have agents in Boston, Montreal, Toronto and Nova Scotia, and he continues: \u201cThey consist of fruit merchants in Liverpool especially, where the worst of them hold forth, but they are in Glasgow\u2019, T,ondon, Manchester and other markets.They advertise freely through the papers here as receivers of apples on the other side They put their consignments into the fruit auctioneers\u2019 hands for realization, and here is where the iniquitous work comes in.The fruit acutioneers arc fair, but these dealers manage at the auctions to secure the most desirable lots, and resell the apples at private sale at high prices.They treturn to the shippers on this side account sales based on the auctioneers\u2019 returns.\u201d Grain, Flour, Hay Grain\u2014Wheat prices on this side are still above an export basis.The demand for all lines of coarse grains on spot to-day was also limited and the \u2018market was quiet, but the undertone remains steady, with sales \u2018of car lots of No, 2 white oats at 40c to 40 1-2c and No.3 at 3%c to 3% 1-2¢ per bushel, ex store, Round lots of No.2 white oats were offering to arrive at 39 1-2¢ per bushel, ex store.Flour\u2014A much better feeling has dc- veloped In the local flour market, but there is no actual change in prices to note.There was a slight improvement in the demand which was probably duc to the strength in wheat and a moderate amount of business was done.We quote: Manitoba spring wheat patents, $5.80; strong bakers,\u2019 186.50; winter wheat patents, $5.70 to $5.80; straight rollers, $5.40 to $5.50; and in bags, $2.55 to $2.65.Feed\u2014There was no change in the condition of the market for millfeed, which rules firm under a good demand for all lines.We quote as follows: Manitoba bran, in bags, $17 to $18; shorts, $21 per ton; Ontadlo bran, in bulk, $15.00 to $16.60; shorts, $19 to $20 and moulllle, $24 to $28 per ton, as to quality.\u2018 Meal.\u2014The demand for rolled oats was somewhat limited, u3 buyers are fairly well supplied for the present, but the tone of the market rules steady at $2.12 1-2 per bag.cornmeal 1s fair at $1.30 to $1.45 per bag.Hay\u2014A fair volume of business continues to be done in baled hay and the market is moderately active at steady prices.No.1, $9 Lo $3.25; No.2, $8 to $8.25; clover mixed, $7 to $7.25; and pure clover, $6.25 to $6.53 per ton in car lots.Wheat

\u201cHow many members of the alllance Bpoke on the colorless \u2018resolution, moved by Mr, George, at the Conservative conference, and demanded advanced legislation?.10° \u201cWas.the executive of the alliance authorized at a regular meeting of the membership of the alliance to start a new political p best interests of temperance -pro-.hibtion, or did they act without au* thority?\u201d - In conclusion, Premier Ross said the answers.to these questions would help him In the reply which he pioposta making to the alliance manifesto In the near future, MR.SPENCE'S RHPLY.Toronto, Dec.6.\u2014Replying to the statement given out yesterday by Premier Ross, in which he asked certain questions of the Dominion Alllance, Mr.F.8.Spence, secretary of the al- lance, said that members of the alliance executive, who were present at the ldberal convention, expressed the strong conviction that the convention 8 had it not been for the earnest appeals of the Cablnet ministers who spoke.The dissatisfaction expressed fn the manifesto of the alliance was because of failure to full promises that had been made to treat with respect the mandate of the referendum and to undertake such legislation as the liquor evll demands, The temiper- ance legislation approved by the convention in itself was good, and if the proposals made were embodied in legislation it will be a finite and valuable step in advance.\u201cOur dissatisfaction is \"because of the inadequacy of past legislation as compared with the pledges upon which there has _heretofore been given to the government a very large support from electors Who vote always in the interests of temperance and who feel that advantage has been taken of thelr adherence to principle, #0 as to benefit a party without promoting the temperance cause to the extent that was promised.\u201d ee BUILDING SALE OF PIANOS.C.W.Lindsay, Limited, of 2366 St.Catherine street (near Peel street), are about to erect -a palatial seven-storey structure a, little further west.(In the terations and considerable confusion in the old premises, and from now till Jan.1st, 1905, the company will give special clearing prices\u201d on all goods, even Chickering and Helintzmans.Terms will also be made to suit any one.Chickeringe, $10.00 per month.Heintgman & Co., $8.00 per month.Wormworth, $7.00 per month, say\u2019s, $6.00 per month.;We must clear the stock and get room.Head office, 2366 St.Catherine street.East End warehouse, 1622 8¢, Catherine Bt.\u2014Adv, tte A Wat Ideal Fountain Poñ, Value .ro ) for untain Pp A.Vaju Given as a Prize An \u2018The Herald's Great Proverb Hunt, how going -on.Competitors may begin at any: time.Back coples of The Herald always on sale.' given Saturday afternoon ty the-Wil- liard \u201cY's\u201d in the parlors of the Y.M.C.A.The programme colsisted of Short addresses by Rev, J.M.Almond and Rev.J.R.Dobson;
