to state that he has noted with regret, that, setting aside all respect for the laws of Christian and ecclesiastical discipline, that newspaper has arrogated to itself the right to publicly criticise and censure the teachings from the pulpit of Bishop Lafleche in the performance of his duty.This conduct is calculated to lessen and destroy the people's respect for their legitimate pastors and to produce the most deplorable effects.He also reminds the publisher of the Electeur that the church in its teachings and its acts, is amenable neither to the incompetent tribunal of political journalism, nor to that of public opinion.Therefore, as administrator of this diocese, he declares (that he energetically protests against the present attitude of the Electeur towards Bishop Lafleche of Three Rivers, and severely condemns the articles published against him, while he also warns the Liberal organ that unless it returns immediately to the paths of Catholic respect for its ecclesiastical superiors, he will be constrained to censure it and to take efficacious means to protect the faithful against it.Welland, June 8.\u2014Among the many Conservatives who can no longer support the Ottawa government in this county J.H.Stanley of Port Colborne stands out conspicuously.Mr Stanley is one of the leading merchants of his village.Until this he has been a prominent and unswerving Coneerva- tive, but like thousands of other Conservatives throughout the country he has been forced to come to the conclusion that it is time to make a change, and he does not hesitate to say so in language that cannot be mistaken.Mr Stanley over his own signature, in the local paper, says:\u2014 \u2018\u201cThe whole country knows that a more corrupt government never cxisted in a civilized country like Canada.If cabinet ministers of the British house of commons had done some of the acts that have been done at Ottawa the last two or throe years they would have been serving a life sentence in the Tower.\u2019 Peterboro, Ont., June 12.\u2014At a mect- ing in this county on Wednesday night, Mr J.Hampden Burnham, on behalf of the Conservative candidate, stated in answer to a question that if Mani- taba refused to accept and apply the coercion bill, the same measure of force would be employed as was used in suppressing the Itiel rebellion, an armed force with fixed bayonets if necessary.Toronto, June 12.\u2014 At the great meeting in the Central Presbyterian church last night, the general assembly dealt with the home mission committee\u2019s reports.In the course of his review of the situation in Manitoba, the superintendent, the Rev J.Robertson, said: By an overwhelming majority the people of Manitoba at the last provineial election declared their opposition to scparate schools.This opposition is confined to no political party, not even to members of Protestant churches.The people are opposed to these schools, because such schools confeï privileges on one church denied to other churches, And s0 contravene the doctrine of equal rights: because in separate schools the dogmas of the Roman church are taught at the public expense, which is subversive of the principle that there is no state church in Canada; because separate sehools mean the education of the rising generation apart from cach other, and the accentuation of race and religious lines that prevent that fusion and assimilation so important in every state; because such schools, when in existe ence, were not cfficient, and hence illiteracy; because in a sparsely settled country the maintenance of a double system is so expensive that the efi- cieney of all schools is apt to suffer, because the people think that the prescrit agitation is largely confined to the hicrarchy of the Roman Catholic church, and that the laity, with the exception of those living in one or two centres, would prefer national to separate schools, The more the sub- jeet is inquired into the clearer it becomes that the people at the time of the union did not ask for scparate schools; that clause 7 in the bill of rights No 4 was a forgery; that the school legislation of 1871 was smuggled through the house in its dying days, an offer being made to the leader of the opposition of a place in the cabinet of the province if he would not oppose the measure, The bribe was refused, but à majority passed the bill.The pcople contend that the privy council upheld the constitutionality of the act of 1890, that the \u2018grievance\u2019 existing is technical, and that the imposition of separate schools in the province against the determined opposition of the people would inflict a more serious grievance still.The provincial government offered to allow the usc of the school houses for religious purposes at the close of each day, and to close the schools at 3.30 p.m.for the purpose, or to seculiarize the schools entirely, and leave the teaching of religion to the home and the church, The people of Manitoba moreover maintain that 20,000 people had no right in 1871 to bind the hands of 200,000 in 1896 when conditions have wholly changed.The dead hand has tied the living too long.Progressive states do not go to the graveyards for their legislation, Dwelling House and Garden for sale in the village of Ormstown.Garden contain eleven thousand and seventy-six square feet of

care given to Appeal and Supreme Court cates.° SILO FOUNDATION.Tlluetration of the Most Approved Method of Laying It, Dairymen who have no silo will want to build one this year.Otherswho havo one will perhape need another.The Montreal Herald gives a picture and description of the right way to construct the foundation and walls as follows: The foundation for a silo must bo perfectly airtight, or it will bo of no use, the entrance of air into the contents being wholly destructive to tho ensilage, This is the most important part of the structure aud must be carcfully made, as thus: The foundation is laid in cement and should be of brick or good stone ur concrete, It inbuilt fn the shapo shown, The surface of the ground is leveled down to the solid cartl, the foundation for the wall is dug out a foot and the BILO FLOOK AND WALL.wall laid up as shown, to a foot above the surface.The floor is then cemented over three inchiea of concrete, and this in carried op on to the wall, the sill being bedded in it to mako this part completely air and water tight.The studs are covered cutside with dressed siding laid on tarred paper, and the inside in lined with matched staff, also on tarred lining paper.This maken n perfectly airtight wall and conscquently frostproof as well.Or the inside lining mny be doubled with the airproof paper between, The round silo ia by far the beat for cheapness, strength and solidity.If it is oonnected with a barn, there should be a passageway to it of three or four fect, iuto which the doors will open, for taking out tho ensilage.Tho silo ix heat filled from tho top Ly means of aun elo.vator connected with the cutting machine outside, Sllolug Clover.Ihave just an good success with clover ensilage as with corn, but where condi: tions aro not right results will be wrong.Tha clover should be cut when right for hay, but not in tho soft, sappy condition of inmatarity sometimes chosen.Well matured for haymuking describes the proper condition.Cut it without dew or rain and then hustle it through the fodder cutter as fast an possible.A little wetting does not hurt it, but it must not dry out at all.In ordinary scusons there is no difficulty on this point, but last year it was so hot and dry when wo flll- ed the silo with winter vats and crimson clover that the material got half cured in spite of our efforts, and some of it had to be well sprinkled as filling pro- greased, Home damage resulted in one silo from the omission of the necessary water.On tho other hand, I once had clover eusilage that wax ton green and sappy; the bottom of tho ensilage became too wet and dif not heat rufficient- ly.Tho result waa injury to that portion of the contents, though it is probable thero was dew or rain on that clover w\u2019 \u201cn it went in.As to tramping, eto., in filling, clover requires the sama treatment as corn.It seems to be the conclusion of somo of cur experts that in filling the material should bo kept highest around the walls of the silo, but at tho top highest in tho middle, At least 18 inches of wet chaff or sawdust or green grass should be used as a covering and well tramped.No other weighting is necessary.A one inch cut will do very well for clover, though there is no objection to shorter cuts, \u2014E.H.Bancroft in Rural New Yorker.Potato Milk, Mont dairymen have a large sapply of potatoes on haud, caused by the glutted market and low price, and I fear the product of some cows will resemble potato juice more than milk, Such milk is low in percent of butter fat and solids.What is more, it makes poor quality cheesc and butter.It can be said that given in excess to cows cheap potatoes aro a dear food, and fed judiciously they are highly economical and valuable, To one who has more potatoes than hay the temptation is to reverse the proportion in which they should be fed.A good rule to follow is not to feed enough potatoes to start the cown to scouring.Remember that the tubers are composed of water and starch and need a substantial adjunct of grain and hay to produce profitable milk.It pays to buy proper milk giving food for only good cows.Don't forget that at this sesaun, when buying and not selling may cu- gage your attention, Tho dairy first, last and all the time should Le the motto for every one who owns milk cows.Particalarly should this bo the maxim for 1896, when tho dairy is up aud other farm products are down.It is only the best furm stock which pays any profit in these days of closa competition.When the best has once been secured, it not only pays better for tho care given it, but its progeny pays better too.-\u2014Exchange.Hay intended for dairy cows should not be allowed to get mo ripe as that intended for other animals.Cut it when it is green and tender, just when the seed begin to form.After that time the juici- neus of the plant goes to perfect the seed and the is no longer so palatable or nourishing for the cows.DEE A CALF PEN.Ii Is Easily Made, Convenient and Wet Treublesume te Keep Clean.A writer in tho Montreal Herald gives some valuable suggestions about raining calves, with a diagram for a pen accommodating six animals at once.Tho sug gustions and diagram are as follows: Tho calf in its pen noeds only to be provided with tho right means to require no further attention than to pat the pail of milk into the pen, ae iudi- cated in the plan given, in a raitablo re ceptacle and leave tho calf to drink its meal.The accompanying diagram in a plan of à calf pen used by tho writer for several ycars and ie found to bo all that is required or ean bo wished for the pur.porn The peus are each 6 by 4 fret, with everything smooth fusido and ne projection which the calf can take hold of to suck.In one corner isa rmall low shelf, with a border 6 inches wide, to bold the pail, so that the calf cannot overset it.By carrying tho milk in a large can to tho pens, the pails may bo filled, set US CALF l'EX FOR KIX-\u2014DOORS OPEN.in thoir pluces and the calves loft to drink the milk, Afterward the pails are taken out and rinsed and returned for tho next meal to the pen.The calves nro fod tho fresh milk of the cow for four days, when the milk is saved and skimmed and warmed to 80 dogreus If à separator in used, Cho milk is used am it in skimmed and while warm.This waning of the milk is of great advantage to the calf, us it is digested without the weakening of the stomach by tho abstruotion of tho heat neoded to warm the cold milk.It makes a 35 per cent hotter heifer, A calf the first week needs six quarts of mille n day at two meals, given at milking time.The allowance {8 gradually increased, until at the end of a month it gets eight quarts à day, which is equal to 21g pounda of solid matter of the mont nutritions description, conststing of casein, sugar and fat, all pura, When a month old, a bunch of nice, sweet clover hay, cut young for the purpose, is given the calves in a little rack shown at tho front of the pen, Only two mall windows are mado in tho pen, one at euch end.Plenty of Ht.ter (sawdust is the best) in given in the pens to keep them clean.The writer's calves get milk until they aro 4 months old, and in addition a little mized meal of corn, oats and linseed ground together, finishing at the end of 4 mouths with ono pound a day.Milk Bottles, Milk jars or bottles now so commonly used were introduced about 15 years ago.A gentleman farmer of Litchfield, Conn, aman of wealth, who owned blooded cows, finding, with the increase of his stock, his milk supply growing beyond his own needs, decided to sell the surplus.Ho desired to put up this milk in somo distinctive form, and he eamo te New York to the headquarters hero of » glans works and asked to have got up for him some kind of glass package that Would bo suitablr for the purpose und convenient for shipping.À jar was produced that was substantially similar in form to the ono now in use, The first jars were provided with glum stoppers, These wera found to break too easily, and a metal stopper was soon substituted, This form of package fur milk at once became popular.The owner of the farm for which the milk jar was first wade turned his furm over to a stock company, which increased ita production greatly.It atill remains a large ostab- ishment and one whose dairy products are well known, Many other milk producers adopted the miik jar, and its general uso extended rapidly.Probably at least 75 per cent of the milk for family use is delivered now in bottles.There are millions of bottles in constant use, and the number produced annually to make good the breakage aud to supply tho increasing demand is about 30,000 gross \u2014New York Sun, Substitute For Silage.E.W.V.asks about a silo for eight cows.It will not pay to build one fur that number.I would suggest to cut the corn at the sae stuge as for eusilage, let it dry, houss it properly, cut it aa needed, scald with hot water and let it lie in a tight chest 13 hours.The product comes near being ennilage, if not het.ter, and, I think, is cheaper.1 cut a field of gross last season for hay, and then planted it to corn the last day of June.In that severe drought it mide a fair crop, only it came a little later than like it.After feeding all we could up to Nov.20 we hauled the rest, 10 four horse loads, to the barn.As it was not dry, I shocked it over part of the hay and wherever I could find mom, We usually cut equal parts of this and the busked fodder to last for a week.shall do the same again this season, \u2014S.C.H.in Rural New Yorker.Against Gratings Behind Cows.The gratings or bars behind the cows that have been cxtolled so much, havo proved in practice to be quite undesirable, as they are not conducive to the cleanliness of the animals, but rather the reverse.The gutter made 10 inches and not less than 14 wide, and the stall of exactly the right width, is the most cleanly arrangement in a cow stable.It is desirable to have many one or two inch holes bored in the button of the gutter to let the liquid through and keep the manure dry.This prevents the oows from getting their switches wet, and then basting their side with them.~Eschange.Auction Sale Will be sold, the moveable property of all kinds, without any reservation whatever, bolonging to the Estate of the late JOHN CROWK, At his Inte resl- donee, in the th range

October.Early pigs aro advisable every time.They command the best prices, and they will take on faster growth than tho lates ones, because they get à good stars on grass, roots aud pumpkins Late sweet corn and plenty of warm saushine in the middle of the day will also greatly contribute to their comfort and growth.A great deal is anid sgainat fall pigs, and one cortainly should havo nothing to do with them if he cannot make them prosper, Foor, sickly, stunted winters pigs are a nuisance and a decided loss to the owner, Tho sooner they aro killed tho better it will bo Tho cauno of all this, however, is generally tov late serving of the sows ur general mismanagement, I never found much difficulty in getting good litters in September and in producing fine pigs for market in from six to cight months from their birth.They have paid mo well, too, for at tho time they were fattened for mars ket pricos wero high and the supply small A good sow should litter twice a year.If sho cannot do this, it is better to dispose of her aud get a better one Uno such sow is worth moro to the farmer than two that litter anly once a year.Tho long period of idlonces for tho sow that produces yonng pigs bus Once à your is an unprofitable one to the owner.Bho will generally cat up all the profits her litter will make.Spring pigs aro all right for thoes who are raising only for home use, but the man who raises pigs for uarket must have his fall and spring pigs as well.The former will pay him nioro than the latter, 1f this is donbted, it would bo woll toinake an experiment and count the cost of everything.Of cvurso this presupposes a good supply of winter food, Wo cannot raise any winter animals without preparing beforchand all the right food they will need, The piga that como in September should be reared carefally from the sow and then turned in to tho grass lot, Koep their aystems opon by supplying them with all the roots, pampkins and sweet corn they can eat, As the cool nights come on sco that tho young pige aro put in aom9 warm placo whera they Will not get chilled through.Early in the morning turn them agnin into the gramficld, keeping up this practice so loug as the grass is green.The result of this treatment is thas they develop good digestivo organs, and thelr stomachs will be prepared to assimilate the heavier feading required in winter, They will have strength to resist tho inclement weather of winter, and their growth will not bo af They need to be kept growing all the time, and if properly managed thero is no reason why thero should be any check to their development.Aw soon as & pig stops growing overy pound of food given to him in wasted, There in some trouble with him, ur he has reached the ago whon ho shonld bo sent to market.Determine as quickly aa possible which it is that has stopped the growth and act accordingly.EK.P.8mith in Amerioan Cultivator.Live Stock Pointe.Very young clover is not good for hogs.be not turn them on tho

contest now drawing to a close is shown by the fact that, on nomination day, only four candidates were declared elected by acclamation.Usually a dozen or more win their seats without opposition.Of the 4, two are Liberals, one a Patron, and one a Conservative.30 Patrons go to the poll and 10 Me- Carthyites.Where these run, Liberal candidates, as a rule, have been withdrawn.Sir Charles Tupper continues his tour in Ontario and maintains a boastful air, \u2018declaring cverywhere he will be returned to power by a large majority.His own reception does not indicate that, and the belief is gencral that Laurier is the coming man.In this district the farmers have taken the elections into their own hands, and in this they are only doing what farmers all over the Dominion are now engaged in.The feeling that the country has been long enough run in the interests of the manufacturers now finds expression, aud, so far as they can, next parliament will shape legislation to promote the interests of the largest manufacturing and producing class Canada has\u2014the farmers.The capitalists who form combines to exact exorbitant prices from the farmer for nails, fence-wire, coal oil, crockery, hardware, cottons, and woolens are going to be taught a lesson.Never was less party feeling known in Hunt- ingdon.Farmers, whether Liberals, Conservatives, or Patrons, are agreed it is time to strike in self-defence and they are going to do so with a will on Tuesday.In Chateaugay Mr Baird has done as we expected he would, and in keeping with his own declaration that he would take care the Liberal cause would not be endangered.When be found there was no prospect of Mr Brown agreeing to submit their respective claims to be the Liberal candidate to arbitration, he withdrew and now works for success on Tuesday.With undivided ranks, a crowning victory is looked for from the Cha- teaugay Liberals.In Beauharnoisthere are complications in to which we need not enter.The large vote controlled by the government and the manufacturers shackles the farmers, yet the latter are confident they will send Laurier a supporter.THE advocates of the government are frantic in denouncing what they term \u2018\u2018the combine\u2019 between the Patrons and Liberals, and Mr Mallory is getting nearly as much abuse as Laurier or McCarthy.The only sort of combine these gentlemen approve is one of manufacturers and politicians to extort double prices out of the farmers.A union of honest men, holding the same views on the tariff question, to break up the combines that have been fattening on the country is beyond their comprehension.If they cannot draw the distinction between the sugar, iron, and cotton combines and a combined effort of Patrons and Liberals to smash them, the farmers can, as they will show on Tuesday.AT the meeting of the congress of chambers of commerce of the Empire, Mr Chamberlain defined more fully than before his project of free trade within the British Empire, with a small tax on all imports from foreign countries.His ideas don\u2019t seem to have met with much acceptance by the English press.The desire is generally expressed that a conference of all the colonies be held to see if it is possible to get them to agree to 80 adjust their tariffs as to allow of free trade between themselves and the United Kingdqm.Until it is ascertained that the plan is feasible so far as the colonies are concerned, the people of the Mother Country are not disposed to commit themselves.\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 As polling-day draws near, clerical efforts to secure Tupper\u2019s return to power grow more frequent and pronounced.The only dependence of Laurier for success in this province is his personal popularity with his compatriots.They are justly proud of him and pleased to think that the Liberals of Ontario and the other provinces should have selected a French Canadian ss their leader.Thousands of habitants, who otherwise would have obeyed the mandement, will mark their baliote in favor of his candidates, so that on the 1st of July the Dominion may hail Laurier as its Ip there be a Protestant in Quebec who deserves consideration at the hands of the majority, it is Sir Henri Joly.When questions Involving creed have been befors the country, his ad- vies has always 30 leaned to the side of the bishops as to imply weakness of évivietion.As seignior of Lotbiniere «0 has maintained as his own cost 8 ool which is conducted under the peevision of the cure and no parish +éla has boon built in his county to tor.Yet all the priests except two are advising the electors to vote against him, for no other reason than that he has refused to take the pledge to support Tupper's remeflial bill.The scandalous means taken to secure Sir Henri Joly's defeat may be judged by this sample of testimony published\u2014 Deschambault, June 8, 1806.\u2018We, undersigned electors and parishioners of the parish of Deschambault, do solemnly declare as follows: That on June 7 we went to the parish priest, the Rev Mr IRousseau, at the eschambault presbytery, and he informed us that he was authorized to say that it was a \u2018mortal sin\u2019 for any of us to vote for the Hon Sir Henrl Joly de Lotbiniere, and a very grave sin to work for him, and he further stated he was speaking on the authority of a communication from Bishop arois.We firmly believe that Mgr Marois has probably been led into error, and that the statements of tho Hon Sir Henri Joly de Lotbiniere have been misrepresented to him.The Hon Sir Henri Joly de Lotbin- lerc has alwaye aflirmed he was presenting himself as a candidate for the express purpose of pleading the cause of the Roman Catholic minority in Manitoba, and obtaining for them the restoration of their Catholic schools, and that he would support any legislation to that effect in the federal parliament, should the Manitoba authorities persist in refusing them justice.We olen ourselves.LOUIS BELLISLE, l\u2018ilot ZENOPHILE BENOIT, Merchant.Signed before me, JULES TESSIER, M.P.P.ORMSTOWN The election fever has somewhat abated here, consequent on the retirement of Mr Thos.Baird from the contest.His many supporters express regret at the exigency of the hour that necessitated such a step.Our county has had a long training to Liberalism and the election of a Conservative would shake it to the centre.The sacrifice made by Mr Baird for the safety of the Liberal cause has added another point to the high esteem in which he is held.HOWICK Work on the improvements in the English River church is progressing, and when finished will make the building like a new structure.The floor is being raised to give room for hot air furnaces, the ceiling and walls will be re-lined with a new design in wood, the roof re-covered, and an elegant steeple with a bell erected.Although the weather has continued rather dry and cool, farmers generally admit that the prospects of a good yield of grain and hay are fair.The school examinations in this varish, \u2018Or more correctly the semiannual visit of the commissioners to the schools takes place on the 2th and 26th instant, commencing with Howick.The holidays will continue from the above date till Tuesday, August the 25th.The prizes presented to the schools by the inspector at the teachers\u2019 convention will bo awarded to the scholars according to merit on examination day in the Howick school.William Morrison and Dr Bhanks are the retiring commissioners for this year and the election thkes place on July 6th.The consuming public in this vicinity are experiencing one of the results of the national policy of protection which so thoroughly excludes competition as to enable stove manufacturers to charge #60 for a small steel range.Quite a number of electors went to Ste Martine to the nomination of candidates, from this portion of the county.The Liberals are pleased at the magnanimity of Mr Baird's friends in consenting to his retirement and the graceful manner in which he withdrew by a neat little speech from the platform, : VALLEYFIELD The steamer Rocket has changed her time of running and now leaves Val- leyfield at 8 o'clock in the morning instead of at 7, as heretofore.The change should be popular with people from a distance, who can reach Valley- field in time to catch this vessel and enjoy à run down the rapids, reaching Montreal about noon.A pilgrimage was made from here to the shrine at Isle Perrot, on Sunday, on the steamer Garnect.The vessel left here about 7 in the morning and arrived home the same evening, The special sermon which was to have been preached to the fraternal societies Sunday, was postponed owing to the sudden death of a little child of Rev Mr Duclos.The lacrosse match here Saturday between the Garnets of Montreal and the Valleyfield team resulted in a victory for the home team by a score of three goals to two.The match was well contested throughout and was sharp, clean lacrosse.The election fight grows more interesting as polling day draws near, in fact, we are near fever heat, Rumors of all sorts fill the air, some of them most absurd, For instance, it is freely stated that a large manufacturing concern here will not allow those of its employees who are known to be Liberals out to vote.The rumor le ridiculous, for the manager of that institution is an Englishman, and if there is one thing more than another upon which an Englishman prides himself it is British fair play, which includes the right of every man to exercise his vote according to his own judgment and conscience.CONNAUGHT At the close of school district No 4, tbe teacher, after going through with a well prepared program, consisting of recitations,

silver butier-dish and knife, as 8 which she Abe wes not the largest evatribe- held by NOMINATION DAY.BEAUHARNOIS An immense crowd gathered in front of the town hall at Beauharnols.The speakers were Bergeron, de Martigny, and Tarte.The Liberals are solid for Tarte while many Conservatives are lukewarm towards Bergeron.CHATEAUGAY.At Ste Martine, after the legal requirements, nominating Mr LeCavaller ay Conservative candidate and Mr Brown as the Liberal candidate, had been complied with, a meeting was organlzed under the presidency of Warden Ed.McGowan, Mr Baird was the first speaker and when he announced he had retired from the contest to ensure the Liberal success, a loud checr went up.In a neat speech, ho said he had voluntarily taken the step for the good of the party as it would aid in carrying the Liberals to victory at the polls.He cordially thanked those clectors who had promised him their support, and trusted they would see the step he had taken was the right ono under the circumstances.Mr Baird was heartily greeted by the Liberals present for his manly course and who acknowledged the sacrifice made by him for the sake of unity.Mr Brown expressed his belief that Chateaugay would do its duty again by the Liberal party.F.X.Dupuis of Montreal spoke in support of Mr Brown.D.MeCormick, Esq., Q.C., supported the candidature of Mr Le Cavalier and in doing so entered somewhat fully into the issues now before the electors.Mr Le Cavalier addressed the assemblage.The feature of the meeting was the speech of the Indian, Mr Jocks, who hit out straight for Brown aud the Liberals, HUNTINGDON.THERE were two candidates nominated, the retiring member Mr Seriver, and Wm.J.White, advocate, of Montreal.Mr White's nomination paper was signed by-\u2014 Joseph Black

William Fortune A.G.Henderson Chas.Levers John Law Damase Daoust Isidore Daoust Frank Hughes David Biggar M.J.Boyd J.W.Kelly F.H.Henderson At 2 o'clock Moir hall was crowded by the electors.There was a fair representation from every part of the county except the two extreme ends of it.The Warden, David H.Brown of Elgin, was called to the chair, The CHAIRMAN remarked that altho the campaign had been a hot one, so far it had been a pleasant one, and he had no doubt their present meetin, would prove agreeable to all.Aceord- ing to the program handed him, the speakers and the time each was to occupy had been agreed upon and he would see it was carried out.Mr SCRIVER was proud and pleased to appear before so great an audience, and stood before them, as he had done often before on similar occasions, as a candidate for thelr suffragos.The large attendance manifested the deep interest felt in the contest now bein waged all over the Dominion, and ft was & most important one, involving, as it did, issucs of vital interest to them all.One of the questions before the electors was & burning one\u2014the Manitoba school question.He agroed with his opponent, Mr White, that it was unfortunate for the peace and welfare of the country that it should have assu the proportions and complexion it now presented.It had been six years before parliament, yet we were as far from a peaceful solution as ever and it had widened the distance between those of different races and © s Jt qught to have been settled long ago, He had no disposition to say the minority had no fevance, for the privy council did ecided the minority had Been deprived of a certain loss of rights by the school act of 1890, but the privy council had noteay the federal arllament should redress them or, in , 88y in what way redress should take form, while it was tobe borne in mind that the privy council had previously decided that the school act of 1800 was within the legal powers of the legislature of anitoba.That law had n passed by the legislature of Manitoba after an examination of the schools of the rovince, which showed many were de- lective and a remedy tccded, which was supplied by the legislatures adopt- token of the estsem in them.: lngae jo nacional \\achools wh ch [ dges examined then dociared lp be equal 10 Was of Ontarlo, which Is regarded as the best in existence.These schools were pat- ronizd by all rams and creeds, and were doing efficient work.The puople had become attached to the system and were opposed to all interference with it.The Liberals claimed that, under these circumstances, the proper course was to approach the Manitoba government in a conciliatory manner and find out whether a peaceful solution of the difficulty could not be had.Instead of that, the federal government, on receiving the judgimont of the privy council, had fssued à remedial order commandin Manitoba to make changes in fa school system.Manitoba resented the arbitrary tone of the order, and did not comply with it, whereupon the remedial bill was introduced, The ministers themselves were not agreed on that bill.When ft was first submitted, they quavreled, and three resigned, one of whom did not resume his seat.When the house met six months afterwards they quarreled again over the bill and seven went out of office, ostensibly for the reason that they regarded their leader, Sir Mackenzie Yowell, as virtually an imbecile.All these disagroements among the ministers caused delays and as the term of parliament was near its end there was no time left to deal properly with so important a measure.When the bill was finally introduced Mr Laurier moved the 8 months\u2019 hoist, and the motion was lost by only 7 votes, The Conservatives were not agreed upon the bill themselves, some voted Against it and some voted for it because of offices promised them.\u2018The Liberals believe it to be impossible to pass that bill even if the Conservatives get back to office.In Ontario 38 Conservative candidates are pledged to vote against it, and the ministers are not agreed, for Hugh John Macdonald quite recently declared Manitoba cannot and must not be forced.The success of the Conservatives does uot, therefore, impl the passage of the blll.Believing it to be not possible for that bill to become law, the Liberals look for another plan of settling the difficulty and accept that of Mr Laurier, that & commission be appointed to investigate and that on thelr report a bill, different in spirit and requirements from the remedial bill, be based.Mr White, at the meetings we have had, has stated no good result could come from such a commission, and that the remedial bill ought to be passed.He forgets how difficult it would be to enforce a law 80 unaccoptable to Manitoba.If the atterupt be made we shall have another rebellion, and by a very different class of people from that which cost us so dearly.Our brothers who have gone to Mauitoba will resist the enforcement of that bill, and it is our duty to do everything in our power to prevent its becoming law, and 80 giving occasion for anything like serious difficulty, or it may be bloodshed.The Liberals hold the bettor way is to leave the people of Manitoba to settle the difficulty themselves, and there were facts that encouraged them in holding that belief.Mr Seriver was uoting from the speech of Sir Donald smith In favor of a conciliatory course being pursued, when the Chairman notified him his allotted time was up.Mr WHITE, after some pleasantry regarding the ladies seated in the gallery, expressed his thanks for the courtesies shown him.He had come to Huntingdon a comparative stranger to a few and a complete stranger to all others, yet everywhere he had gone, apart from political considerations, he had received a hospitable reception.It was well Mr Scriver had confined his remarks to the school question for the record of his party on the general issues before the electors was not a creditable one.The Conservatives had adopted a trade policy in 1878 from which they had never changed, which was in contrast with the record of their opponents, who, at each succeeding election had a different cry\u2014unrestricted reciprocity, commercial union, and so on Their avowed policy today was a tariff for revenue only, the vested rights of maunfacturcers to be left untouched, but behind the mists of this and all previous pretences you find free trade, which Is thu real polley of the Liberals, The watchword of Con- scrvatives was Canada for the Canadians, and their aim and effort was to build up a strong patriotic fecling to bind all Canadians together.To this end they had built railways to connect allthe provinces together and put in force a tariff to encourage our people to make for themselves everything they need and so find à prosperous livelihood for all.During Mackenzic's time a petition was signed by 100,000 farmers setting forth the state of agriculture as deplorable, owing to the country being flooded by United States farm produce, and asking protection against American competition.Mackenzie pigeon-holed that petition, and it was not until Sir John A.Macdonald camo into offjce that it received attention, and he based his national polic upon it.He imposed duties on American farm produce and so stopped its importation into Canada and then he so shaped the tariff as to encourage the manufacturers and by building up the towns and cities create a home market for the farmer.There was now a surplus alter providing for the home demand, and government was engaged in finding new cutlets for the roduce of the farmer and to obtain for him a larger share of the English trade uuder a preferential tariff, which was free access to the Fnglish market for British calenigl produce and atax on the same produce from elsowhere, it it would not be excluded.Holp to the farmer was being sought by the government's subsidizing large steamers to form a fast service between Canada and England.When Hunt- ingdon could send its butter and cheese in refrigerator cars ta placed in cold storage On steamers that would deliver them in Liverpool in à weele, he would ask would that not be bringing the English market to our door?The Conservative trade policy was a pa- triotie policy, and did not look to Washington or seek annexation, but had for Its object keeping Canada for our own people.verting to the Manitoba school question ho described it as originating with Mr Martin, one of Laurier's chief supporters, and the Liberals generglly, who had, in defi.anco of the constitution, established a system of non-sectarian schools, but not without religion, The principle at stake was whether an attempt by Mr Laurier's friends in Manitoba to override the constitutional rights of the minority shquid be sustained.Mr Seriver has frankly and fairly stated there was no difference of opinion as to tho merits of the case, and the onl difference of opinion between him an himself (White) was to the course the federal parliament ought to pursue, The Conservatives hold that it was enough for the privy council to have pointed out that wrong had been done to justify them apply ng tho remedy.What sense was there in appealing to tho men who had done that wrong to right It?Common boresty and common fair play, the principle of doing unto others as we would done by, dictated the true policy to be to on- force the remody at once.To leave wrong unrighted was fraught with danger to Cassada, add she priaci; ple had public w must be maintained that every man\u2019s rights shall be respected.If the electors believed Laurier\u2019s potter of pust- punement was the beat, them go for it by voting for his candidate, but if they believed the Conservatives were right | applying the remedy at once and directly, they will have nothing to do with the Liberal party.RicHARD HoorH\u2014The Catholics of Manitoba have the same rights as the Protestants.Mr WHITE\u2014There ls no dispate be- twcen the two parties as to the facts.\u2018What the Conservatives say is, We should do what is right and do it now.The Liberals want to delay the settlement, The question had n introduced by the Liberals, had been kopt alive by the Liberals, and its settlement delayed by the Liberals.In closing, he would touch upon some matters personal to himself.He had been accused of being a Montreal law- er, which had proved to be an un- ucky cognomen for gentlemen who resented themselves as he was doing.he objection was based on want of knowledge as to the duties to be discharged at Ottawa, A member was not sont there to cultivate land or look after the grounds around the parliamentary buildings, but to make laws for the country, and no one could do that so well as à lawyer.He did not plead for himself, but asked the electors to consider whether the destinies of the country would be served by transferring them from the hands of the Conservatives to thosc of the Liberals.Consider well who are the men representing the Liberal party, and if their record is such as to justify our entrusting your interests to them.ot long ago, the feeling that now exists, that a \u2018change of government was needed, had brought Mercier into power, but it did not take you long to realize your mistake and you are still paying the bills hls government ran up.ransfer the grovernment of the Dominion to the Liberals, and you have the same men surrounding Laurier from Quebec as surrounded Mercier.Let them get their hands into the treasury and they will brin disgrace upon us again.He aske the electors for thelr support as he considered it high time Huutingdon should take the prominent position in public affairs that belonged to her.There was no finer county in the Dominion, and the electors should now see that, in future, it be properly represented, that it come to the front and have some voice in deciding the affairs of the Dominion of Canada.GEO.W.STEPHENS, M.IL.A., was sure the electors, after hearing the speech Mr White had just made, were satisfled there were enough lawyers already at Ottawa.As ta his expressions on the moral character of Liberals, he would cite the fact that an ex-convict had sat on the government benches\u2014a degradation the par- linment of no other country had witnessed.After touching on the deeds of Haggart and Caron, and quoting a number of the jobs by which the country had been robbed, he took issue with Mr White that the present government was so infinitely superior to that of Mercler, He (Stephens) with many Liberals, had strenuously opposed the Mercier government, had denounced him and his ways, but he would point out for Mr White's benefit that the worst act of Mercier, that of issuing letters-of-credit, had been surpassed within the past ten days by the government of Sir Charles Tupper granting letters - of - credit for over twelve million dollars.Iteferring to the Quebec legislature he gave instances of how the lawyers in it combined to further their own interests and defeated all attumpts to reduce their fees, The Conservatives taliced as if the world had been created for them and exists for them expressly to rule, but when their public and private record was looked into was it edifying?They had been lavishing millions on jobs to enrich their followers which, if it had heen saved to the country,would to-day be helping the farmer out with 9-cent eggs and 16-cent butter.He respected the rank and file of the Conservative party, but their leaders had been proved guilty of so many scandals that a Sunday-school should be established to teach them the full meaning of the precept, Thou shalt not steal from the public treasury, There was no difference between the thief who steals from the treasury and the thief who grasps your throat and plcks your pocket.If there was any difference it was in favor of the latter who showed pluck and personal bravery the other did not.A minister who takes the oath of office and lots those around him steal from the public funds, was an accessory to the fact.Trotting out the Union Jack to hide the scandals at Ottawa was a base use for the noblest flag in existence.The electors would do well in their own interest in helping to defeat a moribund and corrupt government.His own idea was that there ought to be a chaz 0 of government every fiva years, sa liable were governmonts when long in ower to become corrupt.He closed quoting the opinions of the London imes and other English papors as to the exposures at Ottawa.Mr MORIN, editor of Le Canada Francais, who bought the plant of the Huntingdon Enterprise and transferred it to St Johns, spoke in support of Mr Scriver in French, and was relied to by Mr White in the samc anguaga, J.D.CAMERON, advocate, of Montreal (son of Archd.Cameron, River OQutarde), asked leave, as a Hunting- don boy, to say a few words on behalf of the man wha Lad so lang and worthily served this county.He condemned Conservative rule on three points\u2014its fiscal policy, its corruptness, and its course on the school difficulty.Ho grappled at once with the assertion of the Conservatives that the N.P.had helped the farmer, and showed haw whilu the farmer had to scil all he raised in competition with the whole world, he was compelled by the N.P.to buy only such goods as our protected manufacturers chose to supply and at the prices fixed by the combines.The result was the farmer sold cheaply and bought all he needed dearer than he ought.He challenged the statement that the N.B.had noth: ing to do with causing the fall in the price of land.A farmer's earnings are exactly the difference betwoen what he gets for his produce and what ho pays for what he hoeds, so that a tari which taxes everything he wears from his cap to his ots, his implements and everything else, necessarily takes away from his profits, and the lower his profits go the more his land falls in value, Farmers bad got their eyeq open to this and did hot'mean to pay any longer more for what they buy than it can bo had elsewhere, In proof of the corruptness of the government he quoted the Curran bridge steal, the swindlings of Larkin, Connally & Co for which thoy had been condemned rison for one year and were let go reo by the governmont in 3 months.The judge who sentonced them had sald the evidence showed they were the tools of mon in high placos who had shared in thelr gains.\u201d \u2018The eapendi- ture had bean increased from millions a year in Mackenzie's time to 38 millions, and 110 millions added to the debt.It Was claimed the country ts to show for all that money, but the fact is, they were not value for it, and a large proportion had boen boodled.As to the Manitoba school question, he asserted the lords of the privy council had not heard the evidenco but assumed the material facts alleged to be true.The majority in Manitoba had rights as well as the minority, and he held the remedial bill over-rode those rights.The course advocated by Mr Scriver was fair and moderate.The electors had found him, by long trial, to be upright and capable, and he could not see why they should chango him for Mr hite, whose least fault was that of boing 4 non-resident.He believed they wore going to stand by Seriver and send him to assist Laurier and Mowat in giving the country an honest and economica government.Hon JouN HALL on coming forward received a hearty reception.His services as treasuror, in redeeming the province from the difficulties into which the Mercier administration had involved it, and the independence he later on, displayed, when he resi ned that office owing to the scandalous Paris loan, were not forgotten by the audience.He is a clear, straight forward speaker, who wastes no words in conveying his meaning.He resented warmly the assertions and imputations of Mr Stephens, and went for that gentleman with vigor.He repelled the assertion that the Conservatives had condoned dishonesty in the Jubile service, and quoted how they had dealt by McGreevy and Sir H.Langevin In proof.That McGreevy had been reelected again to parliament was due to the people, not to the Conservative party.Ad to the Curran bridge job, the government had dismissed Parent and Kennedy from their offices, and prosecuted St Louis, against whom a sult for recovery of part of the money he had got was still pending.Contrast the conduct of the Conservatives with Mackenzie giving out 4 million dollars of contracts without tender, his job in enlarging the Lachine canal, the steel rails job, the Fort Francis lock, the Neebing hotel\u2014not one of the perpetrators of which had been called to account.Reverting to the Mercier regime, he showed how we were still paying 8750,000 more a year owing to its extravagance, yet the men who had supported Mercler, James McShane, Cochrane, and Prefontaine were the very men Mr Stephens was supporting as fit material to give us an honest administration.Pacaud was Laurier's right hand man at Quebec, and it was Pacaud who had got hold of #100,000 of the money in the Quebec treasury, $40,000 of which he swore went to repay money spent in the Liberal interest in the election of 1891, It was absurd to shout corruption at the Conservatives while Laurier walked arm-in-arm with men guilty of such acts.In contradicting what Mr Cameron had said about the N.P., he asserted no country had ever a tariff for revenue only.The N.P.had done the country a great deal of good and the government went hefore the electors with it for the fifth tlme with confidence that it would be sustained.It was very well to talk about the Increase of debt, but Mackenzie had increased it at the rate of 8 millions a year, while the Conservatives had only increased it by 24 to 3 millions a year.For that increase they had the Imter- colonial railway, the C.P.IR., enlarged canals, and the Sault Ste Mary canal to show.The credit of the country had so rison under Conservative rule that the interest paid per head on the debt had fallen from 83.61 in Mackenzie's time to $2.93 now.The savings of the people, lodged in the banka, had risen from 83 millions in 1878 to 265 millions in 1845, sufficient evidence of the beneficial effect of the N.P.on the Prosperity of the country, Touching on the school question, he looked at it as one solely of constitutional law, and blamed Laurier for not uniting with the goverument to settle it.He asked the electors to choose a candidate who would support a part; that had a well defined polioy, instea of ane pledged to a party that had none, Mr SCRIVER said he was willing to {ve the time that belonged to him to Mr Stephens, to onable him to reply to Mr Hall's personal charges, but the audience would not have the program changed, so Mr Scriver went on to say that he could not see what bearing events during Mackenzie's time had on the present crisis.Mackenzie and most of his ministers were dead and gone, and he thought they might be allowed to rest in peace, Let the present administration bo judged by their own record.They had been 18 years in power, long enough to give their policy a full trial, and he would ask each farmer before him, What has it done for you?Are you as well off today as you were before the N.P.came into farce?Speaking from his own personal kuow- ledge, he asserted the condition of the county was not nearly so sound as it was in 1878, and farms do not bring nearly the price they did then.The administration of the day would not recognize tho depressed condition of the country, held out no promise of amendment, and, so far from reducing the expenditure, its leader was going about the country promising subsidies to railways, to Quebec à bridge across the St Lawrence, and to other constituencies various public works, all going to demonstrate that if the govarnmant is sustained, the electors ave no reason to believe that their burdens will be lightened.He was convinced they were decided on making a change, that the present ministry shall he driven from office and their placos taken by men who will endeavor to improve the present state of affairs.Mr Hall had claimed credit for the government for the punishment of MoGreevy and others, but had not told them that it was Tarte who had brought about the investigation which had resulted in the unveiling of these scandals, and who was the very man Conservatives now united in hounding down for doing so.It had struck him as somewhat strange that Mr White had referred to his being à comparative stranger, a resident of the city, and a lawyer, as peculiarities that recommend him to he yaur representative.\u2018Who asked him to come.herc?Was it a body of hard-fisted farmors, or was his coming an attempt by a few to force himon thecounty?Itwasa poor county that could nat supply material for its qwn representation, The electors had trial of him (Seriver) for 20 ears, and while he did not claim that is career had bsen distinguished or brilliant, he did assert no scandal of any kind clings to it.He had on- deayored ta kcôp fa mind his respon.aibllity to those he represented, and to discharge his duty faithfully and intelligently, if not brilliantly.At last nomination, Mr McCormick raised the question of my age, when Mr Me- Cartney had shouted He is good for five years more.\u201d I am now three score and ten, and can honestly say that physically I am better than I was en, Mr JOHN COULTER\u2014 You arc good for five years morç.Mr SCRIVER\u2014I have boon mercifull dealt with, and foel ! have still stron i to work for you faithfully, earnestly, fodustriously, and zealously, I ask my friends not to be too conddent, not to taire {t for granted I shall be plect- ed, but to work as if there were need of every vote and so roll up the Liberal majority.JOHN PURCELL\u2014We will give you 500 majority.Mr Beriver moved a vote of thanks to the chairman, which Mr White seconded, and the motion was put and carried.Then Mr White cal for three cheers for the Quoen, which closed the proceedings.\u2018The audience an to move, but there were loud cries for Stephens, who came forward, when the people resumed their seats.Mr Stephens proceeded to make a characteristic reply to Mr Hall, for which we have not space.One bit must serve.The increase of the debt during Mackenzie's time was due to his finding 25 millions of contracts that had n given out by his predecessors, and which could not be cancelled.If the Conservatives were 80 zealous for good government, why had they driven Joly out of office?When Mr Stephens stopped, Mr Hall rose to reply, but the audience would not wait.It was unfair to act so and bad manners, excused in part by the meeting having lasted 3} hours, ELECTION MEETINGS.Herdman, Thursday evening, town hall well filled; John Purse in the chair.Mr White spoke and

noticed that you have made mention on several occasions of the supposed wealth of Sir Charles Tupper.Now that Sir Charles Tupper has himself given the lie to these tales about his wealth, which it would scem he does not possess, I feel sure that I have only to remind you of your past utterances upon this subject, to ensure your giving the amende honorable in your next issue.I would also ask you to kindly correct the inaccuracy of your Valleyfield corres- ondent, as to the size of the flume the Montreal Cotton Co.are now excavating at Valleyfield.The excavations arc being made large enough for a power-house for 2000 horse-power.Wheels for 1000 horse-power are to be put in this year, unless the future prospect of trade prevent the carrying out of the present plans.Five Tur dred horse-power of this one thousand will be used in the works of the Montreal Cotton Co.\u2018The balance is being made with the intention of renting the same to industries which the Montreal Cotton Co.hope to see located at Valleyfield, should the policy of protecting national industry be continued at the approaching election, T am, your truly, Louis SIMPSON.[Our correspondent is mistaken in saying the Gleaner has made mention on several occasions of Sir Charles Tupper\u2019s alleged wealth.We have not made the slightest allusion to such reports.\u2014ED.G.SHORTIS AND BERGERON To the Editor of the Canadian Gleaner: SIR,\u2014That the Shortis case is a factor in the Beauharnois election there is no use denying.The strangest feature about it is, that the men who were loudest in their indignation, and who got up and led the meetings of protest, have turned their coats, while those who kept their heads at the time are the men who hold today the same opinion of Mr Bergeron\u2019s conduct with regard to the commutation as when Shortis escaped the punishment he deserved.It is, indeed, inconceivable that the men who made the town hall ring with their protests the night of the Shortis indignation are going to swallow themselves by voting confidence in the government whose shuflling allowed Shortis to escape his just rentence.It is true that some friends who raised a great noise in the middle of the night and tried to organize a lynching party to go to Beauharnois, when it was learned that the sentence of Shortis had been commuted, are now working day and night for the party who were responsible for the commutation; but are they serious?They cannot be.We believe that when the free and intelligent voters come to mark their ballots in secrecy, they will think of their friends shot down in cold blood by a hungry adventurer, they will think of the boast his father made at Ottawa of having bought his son\u2019s life with 860,000, and they will, by their votes, register their protest against the bargain.The 23rd June will be the first opportunity the people of Valleyficld have had of protesting against the greatest miscarriage of justice in the history of the district.he twelve honest jurymen, who withstood the temptation of the Shortis money, and the people of Canada who read of our indignation meeting, will know what to think of us after the 23rd.JUSTICE.Valleyfield, June 15 DUNDEE COUNCIL HELD an adjourned session on the 13th inst.All present except Coun Pla- mondon.An agreement was presented by I.I.Crevier, special superintendent on

THE WHOLE EMPIRE PROPOSED.The Postal Bervice\u2014A Number of Ime provements huggested-Au Arbitration Resolution.London, June 11.\u2014The third sitting of the Third Congress of the Chambers of Commerce of the Empire was opened in Grocers\u2019 Hall at 10 o'clock this morning, Sir Albert Kaye Hollit, President of the London Chamber, presiding.The congress adopted reaviutions favoring the formation of a Consultative Imporial Council, a uniform copyright law throughout the empire and the laying of the proposed sub-marine cable between Australia and Canadas at the earlicet possible time.The following resolutions were also adopted: \u2018\u2018Resolved, that the bills of exchange act of 1393, the partnerships act of 1890 and the sale of goods act of 1893, und other consulidating statutes have es- tablishod the practicability and benefit of codifying British commercial law, and that it is highly expedient that the commercial law of the whole British Emplre should now he embodied in a code, and that, therefore, the Government be me- nmorialized by the congress to initiate steps necessary in order to the appointment fur the purpose of drafting such a code of a commission on which the United Kingdom and all the colonies and countries embraced in the empire shall be duly represented.Resolved, that in the opinion of tis comgress tho law ro- Inting to Milla of exchange should be made uniform in the British Empire, also that uniformity with tho laws of continental powers should, wherever practicable, be established internationally.Resolved, that in view of the difil- culties correspondents experience in preparing closed replies to letters ment to forcign countries, and especially the British Colonies and dependencies (a factlity which exists in regard to open posteards aud telegrams), the Council of the London Chamber of Commerce be requested on behalf of this congress to communicate with the Imperial and Colonial postal authorities for the purpose of recommending that the reply letter card (used by France and Coylon for inland correspondence) be adopted by the British Imperial postal service as a means of facllituting and increasing intercourse through the British Empire; that the reply letter card is applicable to International communication in the same way as the open reply post card, and that the recont objections raised in regard to it can be met; that at the Postal Union Congress, to he held at Washlng- ton, 1807, tho British and Colonial Post- master-General be requested tn take stops for the extension of the reply lettor card to International postage, us an effl- cient rubstitute for the proposed internas tional postage stamp, and less open to the objections rnised on the ground of the financial difficulty involved.\u2018 The following resolution of the Montreal Chamber of Conimerce was adopted: \u201cWherenas a reduction in postal rates would facilitato and increase the com- merclal relations of the mother country and her many colonies and possessions; and whereas, the local rates of these several eolonies must necessarily vary according to their special condition of ex- istenece, population and transport; therefore, resolved, that an Imperial postal union be organized on the basis of an extension of the local rates of each of the several Governments entering the union to the postal matter addressed respectfully to these various portions of the British Empire.\u201d Sir John Lubbock, Bart, M.P., in behalf of the London Chamber of Commerce, moved the following resolution in regard to arbitration for international disputes: \u2018\u2018That in the opinion of this congress the present glgantic expondi- ture on Military preparations imposes an intolerable burden on national revenue and an immense addition to human la- hor; that the settlement of international differences by force of arms is barbarous and unworthy of civilized nations, and that differences or disputes arising be- tweon different Governments which onn- not ba adjusted by diplomatic agency should, as far as possible, be referred to arbitration.This resolution called forth an animated discussion.It was finally amended hy striking out all the first part, ending with tho word \u2018\u2018nationa, and the amended forma merely suggesting arbitration when possible was adopted.Mr.Cockshutt of Toronto moved an amendment to Sir John Lubhbock\u2019s resolution favoring arbitration whenever the awards were enforceable.He criticlzed tho United States regarding their action in the Bering Sea and Alabama matters and contended that arbitration was useless unless the awards were enforced.Mr.Cockshutt\u2019's remarks elicited loud protests, and the Chairman deprecated his lines of argument.Mr.Cockshutt then apologized, and Sir John Lubbock's resolution, verbally modifled, was adopted, The congress also adopted resolutions In favor of the formation of a consultative imperial council and of a uniform

wus, according to Godin's statement, to arrest Ducharmo, The two got drinking, an alteroation ensued, when Ducharme snatched Police Interpreter Godin's revolver from him, and fired.The shot entered about the middie of the abdomen, and taking an upward course, passed through tho left luog, and out at his back.Godin then snatchod the revalver from Ducharme, and fired two shots, the second piercing Ducharme's right breast, and killing him in a fow minutes.Godin then rode to the barrucks, where he was placed in the hospital, and oxamined by the doctors, but he expired at 4 o'clock on Saturday morning.The only persons present nt tho shooting were Ducharme's parents and a little boy, The boy states that both were drinking, ond a half- empty bottle of gin wus found where the shooting occurred.It appears Ducharme had just been released from à term in barracks for selling liquor to Indians, and vowed vengeance on Informer Godin, hence the row when both were drinking.Mr.Hamilton

to pass the remedial hill, Parliament in free Lo Act or not as thought proper, It Is purely & matter of policy.\"The evidence on this point is clear and conclunive.Tot us give It.The lord chancellor of England, shortly before reading the second judgment said: \u201cThe parliament of Canada Aro certainly not under legal compulsion to net, and certainly will rot net unilons they concelve there is nome subatantial ground for 1t.°* During the debate on the second reading of the remedial bill the Hon Geo.F.Foster, minister of finance, satd: \u201cP'arlinmest is free as ale and unbound.So far ae

Dickey, minister of justice, and who had charge of the bill, added: \u2018IT have no doubt at all, as a lawyer, that this houso has ample diseretion to act or not to net, I have not tho slightest doubt that this house in perfectly competent to rejoct this bill and so abmolutely pefuses to interfere at all in the affairs of Manil- toba.\u2018* In the face of this evidence let un hear no more of

resident, and owned a saw mil) at Port Lewis, an ex-papal zouave, who holds several papal decorations, han written a lengthy communication to the Rev Cure of 8 loch, county of Richelieu, on the present political isnues.As a voter In the county, Me Drolet declares that he and iin two sons will support Mr Laurier by voting for the Liberal candidate, My Bruneau, and he denounces the [lev Care of Ht Roch for making une of the pulpit In behalf of the Conservative party.Mr Drolet gives his reasons for the vote which he intends to give, believing that he will thereby serve the cause of the church.He says that, after studying for many years the political situation, he Is convinced that Mr Laurier alone can bring back peace and pros- pérityto Canada.As a respectful non of the church, ho feels aggrieved when he hears a bishop or a partent ostracize from the pulpit his political party for the benefit of the Tories.Knowing as he does, tha Tuppers, the Montagues, the Haggarts, the Woods, the Fosters, ete, ha finds it almost 8 sacrilege to heat the thunders of the catholic, apostolic and Roman church, used for the benefit of those reprobates.Taking up the question of protection, Mr Drolet argues that jt has caused emi- ration, limits the liberty of the producer and in opposed to the teaching of Leo XIII, in hils encyclical letter on therelations between capital and labor, The letter then goes over the different nefarious doings of the Conservative government, And giving a rapid hia- torical sketch of the Manitoba school question, asks how it is that while the ories have been decelving the bishops and the clergy for so many years, and Mr Laurier only asks a six months\u2019 trial to settle that vexed question, still the cry rlses:-\u201cCrucify him!\u201d Me Drolet concludes by stating that, in Accordance with the doctrine set forth by Cardinal Newman, obeying the voles of his conscience, which eom- mends him to support Mr Laurier's policy, he will vote for his candidate on June 23, Bishop Cameron of Antigonish, N.S., has issued a long pastoral letter to his people directing them how to vote.It may be jud by its closing paragraph: \u2018We should consider ourselves doubly bound In conscience to vote only for candidates determined to support the brave leader who has pledged himself by his reiterated declarations made in the most formal manner in parliament and In the publie meetings from Manitoba to Cape Breton to submit and have adopted by parliament a federal remedial law ap- roved of by competent authority,that s to say, the aggrieved Manitoba minority.To vote for a Liberal in the present crisis is in reality to vote agalnst the Justice which must be rendered to the Manitoba minority.The leader of the Conservative party bein the only one who has pledged himse to render justice, every eloctor who by his vote diminishes hls effective majority will thereby decrease his chances of being capable of submitting vo and having adopted

See, I am a rational being again now.There, you are free to leave me if you will, but for pity's sake give me an auswer now.I swear to abide by jour decision, and if you bid me gol will go, and you

not\u2014not\u201d\u2019\u2014\u2014 \u2018Not as a lover.No, my manner is against me, Flirtation is odious to me, Love seems to me too great a thing to be frittered away.A man should have one passion and no more, a grand passion to which all ends are subjected, and such a love I offer you.Think of me during the coming week not as a friend only, but as a lover, and next Sunday let me know my fate.I ask you now only to promire that.\u201d \u2018I promise,\u201d said Judith faintly.\u2018With all my soul I thank you.Rest assured that I shall not attempt to alter your decision.It shall be final, If you tell me that you cannot be my wife, I shall throw up everything on the morrow and leave England forever.Come, let ua go back mere friends as we came.Your father still thero\u2014see.\" Judith made no answer.She may have been thinking, as doubtless Kavan- agh intended she should think, of what woul befall her futher if she refused to MArry.I thou ht it advisable to tell Mr.Pel.haw of the discovery I had made, or at least part of it, and that, I coufess, not the least important part in wy estimation.An opportunity occurred that evening.Mr.Pelham had brought his eister home from church, and being induced to stay tu supper with us we were left together while the precise Miss Janet was changing her churchgoing dress, I am delighted to see you looking so well,\u201d said he, smiling, as he sented himself opposite to me and drew off his gloves.\u201cYou look ten years younger thau when 1 saw you last Tuesday.\u201d \u201cI feel ten years vounger,\u201d I replied.Indeed I Lad not felt so happy and hopeful since tlie day 1 returned to London, \u2018T have been in the country to-day.and \u2014and 1 Lave something to tell you.\u201d \u201cIt must be good news to have had such an effect upon you.\u201d \u2018It is good news.Oh, better than any [ have dared to hope for!\u201d I eaid, thinking only of Judith's positive assurance that Taras did pot love her.\u2018\u2018I bave found out Kavanagh's motive\u2014a motive which explains every act of villainy he Las committed.\u201d That is a very satisfactory discovery, At any rato, it is to me; for, as you may recollect, I intimated that some special purpuse must have induced him to take Colonel Bell's affairs in hand,\u201d \u2018He had a special purpose.Ho is in love with Mr.Bell's duughter, Judith, who was engaged to George Gordon, and to-day he has made her an offer of marriage, threatening to throw up everything aud leave England at once if she refuses \" \u201cYou don't say so!\u201d exclaimed Mr, Pelham, regarding me in astonishment, not unmingled with perplexity.\u2018Has Mies Bell consented to marry Mr.Kavanagh?\u201d ; \u2018No, she is to give him a decisive answer next Snuday.\u201d \u201cNext Sunday\u2014hum!\u201d He held his head on one side and looked down on the ground exactly like a bird, at an empty husk, and then perking SR he askod, with a little hesitation, \u2018Have you anything else to add?\u201d \u201cNo; that is all I have to tell you.\u201d He regarded the husk again, seriously this time, and twiddling his thumbs observed: \u201cWell, really, I do not see any great cause for exultation over this affair, for if Miss Bell consents your friend, Mr, Gordon will lose his sweetheart, aud if she refuses he may as certainly lose a considerable part of his fortune.\u201d *1 was not thinking of that,\u201d I confessed, soberel at once brie plain f statement of the postion, ut George Gordon will be k before they could be married.\u201d That depends on a variety of circumstances over which we have no contro), In the first place, we must not count too surely upon Mr.Gordon's escape.We have to trust in the honesty of Mr.Lazarus, the good faith of Peter Shemyl, the dishonesty of a long line of oficials, and at any point we may be decei: Then, again, three weeks is a long time, and a clever rascal may do much before it expires.If Miss Bell consents, he will naturally hurry on the marriage.With & special license they might be married in a fow days.If Miss Bell was engaged to Mr.Gordon only three or four months back, she would probably wish to avoid publicity and be glad to get it over as quickly as possible, The moinent they are married it is pretty certain that Kavanagh will accept the terns offered by the Po series company and decawp, taking Miss Il with him and leaving her father to make the bess terins he can with the company.That, 1 think, is fairly presumable when we bear in inind the nature of this uniwiti- gated scoundrel and the extreme danger in which he stands.On the other hand, if Miss Bell refuses to be his wife, we may be equally confident that he will put his threat into practice\u2014seil up everything and fly\u2014the one inducement to expose hitself to the risk of discovery and punisement being gone.Do you follow me?\u201d \u201cYes; you have ma8e it more clear to me than it was.I did not think thas they might be married so quickly.Oh, it Qeotse Gordon comes home too late! It ia terrible to think of that.\u201d \u201cWe must prevent anything of thas kind happening if we can.\u201d \u2018Tell me what we can do,\u201d I mid eagerly.L The undersigned begs leave to inform

little five minutes?\u201d her brother ou ted, with the cheerful manner and ohirupy tone of a canary asking for sugar.iss Janet withdrew, with discreet celerity.\u2018Do you think it probable that Miss Bell will scvept Kavanagh?\u201d asked the solicitor, \u2018She has known him a long while, and they have always been friends.George Gordon has been made to appear false and wicked.the does mot love any one else, and she looks upon Kava- nagh as a good and most generous man, and he is handsome to look at.\u201d \u201cThen the probability is she will accept him.ow I understand your delight in making this discovery, Believing that the marriage would be delayed for the ordinary length even of a short engagement, you perceived that Kavanagh would be detained in London until the time when Mr.Gordon may, and, as we hope, will return to confrout ww\u201d \u201cNo.1Idid not think of that.It was a selfish consideration that made me Bappy \u201cWell.be that as it may, my doar young lady, such a consummation is possible and encourages us to regard the affair in a hopeful spirit.Now, do you think you can find means of learning what answer Miss Dell givest\u201d \u201cYes.1 believe I can learn that.\u201d \u2018How soon after the event, do you suppose?\u201d \u201cThe day after perhaps\u2014on Monday.\u201d \u201cThat would do.Where will you acquire this information?\u201d \u201cIn Surrey.\u201d \"You could telegraph at once to me\u2014 the single word \u2018Yes\u2019 or \u2018No.\u2019 To you, at your office?\u201d \u201cPrecisely.If Miss Bell refuses, we must tuke proper measures to provent the Potteries company making any pay- mont to Kavanagh, if she consents, we must find means of warning Miss Bell to delay the marriage.The course to be taken in either case necessitates the utmost precaution, but we have all the week before us for consideration and re flection, and eo, I think, we may safely dismiss the subject for the present and let the maid bring up the supper.\u201d CHAPTER XLVIL JUDITH LEARNS THE TRUTH, On the following Sunday I went again to Woking, rather because inactivity at West Hackney was unendurable than froin expectation of leurning Judith's decision that day.It was not likely that she would go up into the wood to give her answer to the offer made there the week before, or that accident would again favor me ns it had then.In this I was not undeccived.A drizzling rain fell all the afternoon, and from the opening in the wood where I sat shivering hour after hour I saw no one in the grounds below.stayed the night nt tho \u2018\u2018Whent- sheaf,\u201d and from my little room in the frout of the house I watched the road the next morning until after 9, when the carriage passed on its way to the stutivn with Kavanagh and Colonel Bell.Kavanagh had a cigar in his lips and & magazine lu bis hand, indifferent to his companion, who sat with his thin hands on the pommel vf his stick and a careworn, wistful look on his poor old ace.Istarted off at once for the Grange.Neither Taras or Judith was in the gur- den when I luoked down from the wood, but when Ireached the entrance gates and looked through 1 perceived Judith in the long walk strolling listlessly toward we, lier hands at her back and her eyes on the ground, as if in meditation.I had made up my mind as to what I should do on finding her alone, and so, baatil whipping off my veil and false hair.pushed open the gate and entered.At the sound of my stepshe raised her head, but she continned to advance at the same pace, for she had seen me Lut once before, and then very differently dressed and so did not at once recognize who I was.Suddenly, however, as we drew near to each other, she stopped, and, drawin herself up proudly regarded me wit such scorn and loathing in her white face aa I hava never sen in another.I paused also, smitten with pity for her, my heart aching in sympathy for the humiliation and sorrows she had suffered.Then I hurried on to make sure that we were alone before I spoke, As I passed har she drew her skirt aside, as if she feared pollution by the mere contact of our dress, and all the time she kept her eyes fixed upou me, terrible with latred and coutempt.1 went as far as the top of the walk, and seeing neither Taras, nor Mere Lu- cus I returned to where Judith still stood ns if, reversing the fable of Galatea, hate had transformed her to warble.\u2018I must speak to you,\u201d I sald in a low voice as I approahed her.\u201cWhere are Taras and Mcre Lucas?\u201d \u201cThey are in the house,\u201d she

She hesitated for an instant; then, with a gesture of refusal, she said indignantly: \"He is nothing to me.It is an insult to speak to me of him, Let me pass.\u201d \u201cMe is all the world to you, and you are all the world to him.See,\u201d I said, offering the little packed poor George had given me on the eve of my departure, \u2018ho hassent you this from Siberia.\" She would not take it from

Grace, was getting his dinner one day during a thunderstorm, when he heard a loud clap, and soon the chimney board fell down, and a globe of fire as big as a child's head came out quietly and moved slowly about the room at a small height abovo the floor.The spectator, in conversation afterward with M.Rabbinet, of the Academie des Sciences, said it looked like a good sized kitten rolled up into a ball and moving without showing its paws, It wus bright and shining, yet he felt no sensation of heat.The globe came near his feet, but by moving them aside he avoided the contact, After trying several excursions in different directions it rose vertically to the height of his head\u2014whijch he threw back to prevent it touching him\u2014steered toward a hole in the chimney above the mantelpieco and made its way into the flue.Shortly afterward\u2014*\u2018\u2018when I supposed it had had time to reach the top,\u201d the tailor said\u2014there was a terrible explosion, which destroyed the upper part of the chimney and threw the fragments onto the roofs of some adjoining buildings, which they broke through,\u2014Cham- bers\u2019 Journal, French Art In Manipulating Plaster, It is stated that French builders, who have carried the art of hardening plaster to where it is used for flooring, either in place of wood or tile, employ for this purpose six parts of good quality of plaster intimately mixed with one part of freshly slaked white lime finely sifted.The mixture as thus composed is laid down in as quick time as possible, care being taken that the trowel is not used upon the surface for too long a time.After this tho floor is allowed to become dry and is subsequently saturated in a most thorough manner with sulphate of iron or zine, the iron giving the strongest surface, its resistance to breaking being found to be 20 times the strength of ordinary plaster.It appears that with sulphate of zinc the floor remains white, while when iron is used it becomes the color of rusted iron, But if linseed oil, boiled with litharge, be applied to the surfaceit becomes of an attractive mahogany color, this being especially the case if a coat of copal varnish is added.\u2014New York Sun, The Abandonment of Deep Mourning.The so called \u201cdeepest mourning\u201d is no longer considered good form in Europe, and crape has dropped out of fashion, being now only used for draping buildings and monuments, or for shrouding the lighted lamps of the vehicles figuring in the funeral cortege.No one would ever dream of taxing either the empress of Austria or the Princess of Wales with indifference to the death of their reapectivo sons, yet each has been content to mourn ler offapring without crape, either in the shape of a veil or as à trimming to her dress.The result of this has been that widows, especially when young, dispense not only with crape, but with the characteristic cap and long streamers, Indeed, at the present rate, there will be no outward sigm left by which we shall be able to distinguish from the ordinary woman those fair sirens against whom we have been sa pathetically warned by Mr.Weller.\u2014 New York Tribune, Points About
