yet on: would think the tragedy of wyes- terday might have ben avoided by more prudence.Policemen are accustomed to erratic behavior and doubtless attached little importance to what had frightened Murs.Pritchard.Otherwise, instead of in full uniform and i asking for Smith, they might, knowing hm to be armed, have used some easy ruse to get into the house.But surely, after the murderous reception the first men got, it is strange that the police should have again gone and rung the door-bell, themselves 1o a fatal repetition of the shooting.It is certainly not easy to deal with a man with a gun behind a Jocked door, but it often been done.The other day, in New York, the police were called in to arrest two desperate Italians who were armed Ten constables were selected.and they made two rushes in scuäds of five, fortunately without any of them being killed or injured.Such cases occur in London, Berlin, and other large cities not infrequently, and a rush nearly always overcomes the desperado without much damage to\u2019 the force.At all events, the melodramatic courkreRadoyled after much consultation, inVolving a parade of both- the police and the fire torces, does not seem to have obviated the dangers that, were \u2018The formalin would probably have been no worse for the madman than what happened to him.The world, however, though 14 has no \u2018objection to slaying in hot éncotmnter, shrinks from cold-blooded methods.Still there must surely be some less lethal measure by which a dangerous man so barricaded, might have been scientitfically subdued without sacrificing life.These are conditions for police authorities to study and provide for in days of quiet, rather than have to think out \u2018their strategy at the last moment.A policeman\u2019s life is always at the service.of his duty, but that is no reason for needless sacrifice.\u201d The chief figure in this unseemly and fatal performance was well known upon our streets as one whose whole\u2019 appearsnee -drew going exposing has feared.use of eg Rta LST eR attention to him \u2018as a sort of Newman Noggs, who \u2018had been a gentleman once.\u2019 + Cpm\u2014\u2014 Dr.Edward J.Devine, in \u201cCharity and the Commons,\u201d a periodical devoted to philanthropic objects, discusses the ques- tien of relieving distress and feeding the hungry in cities.Soup kitchens and the bread-Hne having become established institutions in New York this winter, he assails them as forms of public charity which, like all almsgiving, are highly effective causes and perpetuators of the very conditions they were designed and supposed.to relieve, Having and investigated these conditions of pov- tous distributign of food.The reason he gives is that the recipients, of the charity are, almost without exception, vepresentatives .of the criminal, the vicious and the unemployable classes.Agaim and again they have been invited to come to thé Charities Building, there, after first of all receiving such immediate relief as they may need, to be put in the way of obtaining employment and rising from their wretched \u2018state to self- sypport and self-respect.Only in the rarest instances have these invitations been heeded.The great majority shirk the meal supplied at the soup.kitchens and the bread-line.Most of them are \u2018rounders\u2019 who go from one to another of these charities, getting fed for nothing and doing nothing.The.true remedy, gratuities, but better police methods, the establishment of a state farm and industrial colony,.with voluntary and compulsory departments, the discontinuance of indiscriminate doles of dvery description, and the prompt, adequate relief of genuine distress by competent and experienced experts, on the basis of personal consideration for the individual trouble.HOUSE CLEANING AT OTTAWA.Where would any business be in six months if the employees were imposed upon the management by this and that h \u2018them?In such a business a superior would find under him a man altogether neglecting his work.If he.remonstrated with him, the answer would be: \u201c|.was appointed by a director now in \u2018have no pull\u2019 This is an irrelevant argument; but the superior knows\" its force, and will not remonstrate again.Then the men of no pull put in their fine work.Instructions come from the directorate and are pigeon-holed, or go back to the management after a series of red-tape adventures, with nothing dome.Fault is found, and if an answer is deigned it means this: \u2018We were here before the \u2018present manager, and we know a good * deal better than he does what is desir- \u2018able to be done.To carry ot that ployees, high and low.Who would care for the business?What if the factory manager made a rule that no one in the company\u2019s employ should speak to the managing director except through him?Such a rule might work in a business where the factory manager was responsible for his employees; but where he has under him a mob over whom he has no control, it is simply a policy of mutual hush.In this there would likely be general concurrence, for the factory manager has probably done things that.should not be mentioned; many under him are doing things that must not be spoken of, and the managing director has done a lot of things which he would not at all want to be told about by those who cannot help knowing them.We are only imagining a very im probable case, say that of a great enterprise owned in one country and managed in another by a set of local diree- tors.But is there nob some resem- blsnce between this way of doing business and that which has so long been in full swing at Ottawa.accumulating dry-rot vear by year ?Where would an honest factory manager or an honest managing director be in such a system ?He would simply be helpless and frantic.Te would have everybody about hiw for an enemy.He would see no good in being honest.He would have to fall in with the \u201cÉfenera! methods, or else fall down and let the machine roll over him.Mr Brodeur is the first minister in twen- ty-five years who has made any attempt to look into the affairs of the Marin: Department.So we are told by those who cught to know.During all thaï tirne no one in the department has been free to approach the minister, and no minister has taken account with any of the officials ~cv asked why things were done as they were.Mr.Brodeur set Limeelf at once to be inquisitive;

its bulletin on Monday was \u2018The flowing tide at Peckham, and truly the tide owed in more senses than one.The rowdyism in the streets was very great; temperance speakers could not get a hearing, and every public house was a Tory committee room.Now supporters of the government are beginning to think the disaster may be a benefit in disguise.It will be so if it comes as a warning of the strength oï the forces arrayed against the bill, and is significant enough to rouse all good people to do their utmost.Mr.Lloyd George, at the great meeting in London yesterday, struck the only note that can fitly be struck as a reply to the unreasoning clamor of the brewers.The government are not going to turn back, Te said; the methods in Peckham more than ever convinced them that it is their first duty to risk all to save this land from a menace which imperils the liberties of the people.1f they knew that a fortnight hence, when the division on the Licensing Bill comes on, they should be driven out of power, they would rather fall, and from that fall rise up to begin the fight anew.\u2018The war is but beginning; we must see jt through,\u201d he concluded.In the midst of all this clamor comes the news of the death of the Duke of Devonshire.The Duke was a bright example of the honest man of affairs.100 highly favored by fortune, and too sluggish by nature to be tempted with the vulgar temptations of wealth and place (it is known that he twice refused the Premiership) he yet, when he thought the welfare of the empire was at stake, could arise and devote his sane judgment and steady energies to the service of his King and his country.So it was that as Marquis of Hartington he occupied no, important place in public hfe until Mr.Gladstone\u2019s Home Rule Bill provoked his latent strength, and the massive weight of bis opinion made itself felt.The second thing that brought him into action was the revival of the protection cry by Mr.Chamberlain; and a second time, in spite of advancing vears, he made himself a power in politics.His clear and outspoken ad- lierence to free trade principles made him the centre of those in the Unionist party who were unwilling to be carried away by the Chamberlain influence, and had, no doubt, a powerful influence at the last general election in securing for the Liberal party the support of moderate men, who felt free trade must ve upheld, but were otherwise uncertain supporters of the Liberal programme.LECTURE ON THE BIBLE.he Right Rev.Lord Bishop of Montreal will preside at the lecture given by tlie Rev.Dr.Patcrson Smyth on \u2018The Bi- bik,\u201d in the Art Gallery, on Friday even- igz, April 10, at 8 o'clock.QUEBEC LEGISLATURE.Government to Add $150, Elementary Education\u2014Legislation Affectin, McGill and Bishops College\u2014Fishery Law Amendment.MR.LEBLANC STRONGLY ATTACKS THE GOVERNMENT REFERENCE TO THE EMPLOYMENT OF WILFRID PAQUETTE.Quebec, April 7.\u2014There is good authority for the announcement that the government intend to add $150,000 to the annual grant for elementary education, and that legislation to that effect will be introduced and passed before the session closes.In the Assembly, yesterday, the Provincial Secretary brought down a bill to amend the Education Act as regards superior education.The object is to provide that as Bishop\u2019s College and \"Mec- Gill already receive special grants for superior education, they shall not hereafter be entitled to participate also in the general grants for that purpose.Mr.Kelly introduced a bil to amend the Quebec Fishery Law, and Mr.Roy (Mont- magny) ône to amend the law respecting land surveyors and the survey of lands.Nearly all the private bills on the order paper were put through their final readings and disposed of the only ones held over for further consideration being that of the town of St.Johns and that of L'Hopital de la Charité, Montreal.Some thirty-five or forty questions seeking information of all kinds were then put by different members and answered by the mrinisters.Some of these answers were exceedingly lengthy.In reply to Mr.Langlois, the Provincial Secretary stated that since 1900 586 pupils had attended the government dress-cutting classes at the Monument National, Montreal.To Mr.Godbout, the Hon.Mr.Tur- geon replied that in 1904, 1905, 1906, a total of 5,094 lots of land had been conceded to settlers in the province.In reply to Hon.Mr.Leblanc, it was stated that the total cost to the government to date of \u2018Mon Premier Livre was $50,154.Mr.Leblanc was also told that the government had received complaints as to the practice of usury in Montreal only, and Mr.D\u2019Aignault was informed that the government\u2019s attention had been directed to the important question of favoring the establishment of mineral and smelting works for metals in this province, and that the subject was actually under consideration.THE PAQUETTE MATTER.Mr.Leblanc made a severe attack on the government this afternoon in reference to the employment of Wilfrid Pa- quette, assistant to the Clerk of the Peace in the Montreal Court House.Mr.Leblanc charged that Paquette drew a government salary and was at the same time allowed to organize cotton workers\u2019 strikes In various parts of the province, and work for three weeks in a by-elec- tion campaign.Besides representing the discontented workmen during the Valley- field cotton mills strike, and leading the recent strike in the Dominion Textile Mills, Montreal, the Opposition leader stated that last January Paquette had worked among the cotton workers of Magog on behalf of the Liberal eandidate in the county by-election.Not only was this the case, but when he first went to Magog on that occasion, the government employee had first gone to the Conservative organizers and offered his services to them, later deserting to work for the Liberals, \u2018perhaps,\u2019 added Mr.Leblanc, \u2018because he received a better salary from the latter party.TuEspAY, APRIL 7.107 000 to Annual Grant Notwithstanding this side wor, Mr.Leblanc, and the fact tha: the Hochelaga workers\u2019 strike oi .ago, Paquette had for the past s.x received his salary in full tur he was supposed to have dui.Court House.Such transaction- he said, amounted to nothing less than stealing the time ti.| ment employee Was suppos-d spent in the Court House.Prenner Gouin replied that un leyfield strike Paquette muvrels + - the arbitration committee alo, Judge Fortin, representing 1iln | Government;

in short you are cured of Spring Catarrh by a pleasant simply remedy free from sedatives and irritants.Catarrhozone is n good safe family remedy for coughs, colds, croup, sore throat, that mav be taken by young and old, with absolute certainty of swift permanent cure.= \u2018Catarrhozone\u2019: all dealers in three siz THE MONTREAL DAI ST.PATRICK\u2019S SOCIETY ANNUAL MEETING DECIDES TO AID TERCENTENARY CELEBRATION.\u2014 The two outstanding features of the annual meeting of St.Patrick\u2019s Society held under the presidency of Mr.W.P.Kearney, last night, was the resolution to take part in the Quebec Tercentenary celebrations, and the presentation to Mr.George Craven.a charter member of the society, who has a record of fifty-two years\u2019 membership.The folowing officers were elected for the ensuing year: President, W.P.Kear- MR.W.P.KEARNEY.ney;

London, April 7.\u2014In a paper on the Imperial problem and Asiatic immigra- \u2018tion read to-day before the Royal Society of Arts by Sir Richard Jebb, Regius professor of Greek at Cambridge University, in referring to the British Columbia difficulty with the Japanese, said that it colored labor in any district becomes a permanent institution, the effect always is to stigmatize the work in which it is employed.If, on the other hand, col ored work is introduced with the intention of dismissing it later on, the immediate effect is, as British Columbia has shown, to deter the immigration of white labor, which is required to replace it.The employers desire to have labor \u2018on tap,\u2019 hike water or electricity may be natural enough, but it cannot be satisfied thrcugh an Asiatic conduit without aggravating the very ditficulty which that expedient was intended to overcome.REV.DR.S.C.EWING DEAD HE WAS THE OLDEST MISSIONARY IN THE WORLD.pe Pittsburg, April 7.\u2014Word has been received by the United Presbyterian Board of Foreign Missions of the death in Cair> (£gypt) of the Rev.Dr.Samuel Currie Evwing, 77 years old, said to be the oldest missionary in the world, both in age and point or service.Ur.Ewing was bern in Westmoreland County, Pa., on April 20, 1831.PROHIBITION WINS OAKLAND COUNTY, MICHIGAN, VOTES FOR LOCAL OPTION.Detroit, Mich., April 7.\u2014Further returns to-day from yesterday's local option vote in Oakland county indicate that the county went \u2018dry\u2019 by from 75 to 150 majority, making a total of ten out of fourteen counties which the prohibitionists carried in yesterday\u2019s election.THE ETHICS OF AMUSEMENT.At a well-attended meeting of the Montreal Women's Club, yesterday at- ternoon, Mrs.H.W.Weller read an able paper on the ethics of amusement.\u201cI'he consideration of the right relation of amusement to life,\u201d the speaker said, \u2018divides itself naturally into three parts \u2014the physiological, the historical, and the humanitarian or social.Health of body and of mind 1s the object of the preaching of the gospel of relaxation.Great civilizations of the past have recognized the part which -.musement should play in the national life.In Greece the idea of amusement, as of art ,was blent with the national ideal, and the theatre itself was half à temple.In mediaeval times amusement played a large part in the life of the common people.Many of the reforms which advanced people now desire to see introduced, especially into rural life, such as co-operation in labor, and opportunities for social amusements, were a recognized part of life in England during the Middle Ages.The deprivation of harmless recreation of the workingmen of the cities constituees to-day a menace to civilization.From them has been taken almost every form of social intercourse except that of the saloon.The solution of the problem cof rational amusements, with better homes, would be also the solution of the temperance problem \u201che children of our cities are also being demoralized by the lack of healthy amusements, of places to play in, of manual training for the exercise of the artistic impulses, and of dramatic entertainments more elevating than those of the cheap theatres.The year before last Chicago spent no less than eight millions of dollars In expropriations for playgrounds in the crowded areas of the city The city owes to its children protection from enticements and suggestions to vice, and crime, protection from open saloons and gambling dens, and lurid billboards, and from low amusement resorts.\u2019 Mrs.George BS.Cantlie contributed two delightful vocal solos Violin and Pianoforte solos by Miss Goodchild, and Miss Davies were also much appreciated.\u2018I'he meeling was in charge of the social science department, and Mrs Warmin- ton presided.[ SOCIAL AND PERSONAL \u2014 Mrs, Frank Lafferty is in town irom Kingston.Mrs, A.W.Pl.Buchanan, Pine avenue, will spend the summer abroad.Airs.J.D.Molson, St.Matthew street, is leaving shortly for Toronto, Mr.and Mrs.E.Fabre Surveyer bave returned trom a trip to Doston, The Rev.H.P.and Mrs, Plumyptre ie leaving for Eugland on May %.Mrs.A.J.Ferguson.Sherbrooke | 14 .{ ~teaq Dabalin tree nn - ss II i and oo rE.toa RN ments .Co _ Joe 1e < 1 mr res was ae vod : 1 Fle _ .Lis A iw V1 N° 1 her = \u20ac Ter es ; wee! - PI t | Fun Doves M do less Lu lu | \u201cfre etre Pau ti Lu { noe he paris wor ve dise roninaet ou = ST on ad MR 15 Je sn \u201c4 440 à | \u2014 - MEAT Cg Tien ee he past seen Clos or ens Man cons I \\ boca To Nels.ate 5 ar
