[" er to Roum it 1 : Attorney General imas Aldermén Claim They Have.a \u201cRight to Appeal to the Courts, t ; The.report of Judge Cannon op be Féturned! This is the next startling aldermanic\u2019 move that is to be made.The proposal : wag discussed freely to-day by a number of aldermen who were down at the 5 City Hall.ê A Nault being seen in regard to ÿ \u201cthis unexpected turn of events, said to.a representative of the press: \u201cYes, \u201cAt \u2018will be moved in Council that \u2018the report shall be returned.It would be \u201cunjust to those who have been con- demñed were it not returned.\u201d \u201cThe aldermen are finding fault EB § Twit \u2018the report then?\u201d +4 : \u201cThey certainly are, and not only \u201c3 those who have been condemned.\u201d DETAILS OF THE NEW MOVE.\u201cAnd when will this motion be pre- ; mented in Council?\u201d was asked of an- / other alderman who is also angry at the tone of the report.\u201cAt the next meeting,\u201d was the re- Ply, \u201cit there is time to take up the \u20acannon report.\u201d \u201cWill the proposal be made in the 13 form of a motion which Council be 5 asked to formally; adopt?\u201d \u201cThat is exactly the form of proce- i dure.\u201d .\u201cDo you expect there will be a ma- a Jority who will favor such a strong i procedure?\u201d bor have reasons to think there will \u201cWhat reasons will be adduced for & procedure such as this?\u201d \u201cThey are as follows: It will be shown \u201cen the report is discussed; that there re statements in the report that cannot be according to the facts.For instance the Commissioner says that over a million & year has been grossly wasted.It is only right the Commissioner should be asked to make more : than \u2018mere\u2019 \u2018Statement in regard to , à grave charge.He will be asked: \u201c t6 explain how he arrives at such a decision.and to give détails.| Special to the Montres] Star.get has not been rejected but has been | PROMISED WITH PEERS GAINING| Lords\u2019 Slogan Prudence and Conger.- vatism?\u2014-Lloyd-George Likens Them to Rats in a Trap.London, December 24.\u2014The London Stock.Exchange markets have settled down for the - holidays.Politics seem to have been suspended quite as fully as business till after Christmas.The excitement has distinctly lessened, but as the January elections approach, renewed vigor will be infused into the campaign.Both sides are preparing for a whirlwind close, promising to eclipse anything in recent history.The result seems likely to bel much closer then indicated a fow weeks ago, though Stock Exchange betting is still slightly in favor of \u2018the Liberals,\u2019 This measurable though uphill progress made in favor of the Lords, and the clever presentation of their case that has undeniably been made, are responsible for the confident undertone in home security markets generally.Their contention is that the Bud- merely referred to the people themselves, on account of its unusual and revolutionary -charactér.Their campaign slogan is \u201cprudence and conser- vatism\u2014features that usually may be counted upon to appeal to the average Englishman.If the Government finally wins, it will be by such a reduced majority that further tendencies towards extravagances will, in the opinion\u2019 of the city, have received a salutary check.\u2018While idle, therefore, the markets are cheerful.Consols are very strong in anticipation of favorable developments in the New Year, What Canadian Says.A visitor to England, who has spent twenty years in Canada, Informs a Manchester Guardian representative that Canadian feeling strongly supports the Liberal attack upon the House of Lords.\u2018The average Canadian, he s , does not understand \u2018why we should\u2019 ave a Second Chamber at atl.The Senate, the: visitor continues, thoroughly unpopular institution à nada, where it is regarded as little more than a refuse tor superan- IE Eh WAS DEATH BY USE OF I \u201cThen there is the fact that the en- ;

and singing, to a place of honor before the lord of the house.datés back to days long before Queen's or any other college \u2018existed ot Oxford.From early .times the boar's\u201d head has been a festival dish.In Rome it formed the principal dish at the Satur.nelle, which was the Roman Christmas.A similar oftering was made in Egypt in honor of Osiris, the Egyptian deity, The Bcandinavians had à siniflar cus- tors at Yule-tide.\u2014the winter solztice, \u2014wlen, at the feast of Freyr.god of peace and plenty.& boar was \u2018slain.There iÿ no festival so widely cele« brated as that of Christmas; -nor is there one which shows a greater diversity of customs and\u2019 observances.Each country has traditions which are | { cornectéed with the day, and though \u2018many of thém have died.out, yet some still remain firmly imbedded in the life of the people.It is not to English-speaking people alone that we look for an observancs {of Christmas.AI over Europe it is the boys and girls\u2019 feast, and even in lands where winter, with its frosts and snows, ls unknown, homes _ are decked with evergreens, merry songs are sung, and gifts are bestowed upon friends.Wherever men and women go, or in what strange lands they settle, they always retain some of the ways of their old home, and it is to this fact that we owe some of the Christmas customs which give us so much delight.The Christmas tree, bright with lights #and laden with gifts, has in this way come down to us from Germany, where every boy and every girl.looks with pleasure.for the coming of the \u201cChrist-child.\u201d So, too, the holly\u2014which English homes have been decorated with for.centuries\u2014is, with its red and green, almost universally acepted as the hap- i plest emblem of Yuletide.\u201cWherever our thoughts may \u2018travel at this gracious season, they should carry with them cheerfulness and hope and benevolence and good will, and these are emblematically expressed in this favorite evergreen.glow of giving, telling of hesrt- warmth that burns all the more brightly in the darkest and coldest days of the' year, and of life\u2014this is the lesson of the helly.The burning of the Yule log has come down from the Goths and Saxons, the name being derivéd, it is popularly supposed, from the winter solstice festival cglled \u201cJul!\u201d or \u201cYule.\u201d The Yule log was burned on Christmas eve, amid laughter and play, and the event has often been sung of in old English poetry.It was customary to lay aside a part of the half-burned wood, keping it safely until the following Christmas, when it served to light the new log.At the same time, the preservation of the wood was be- believed to be a sure pro against danger to the dwelling by fire.Everybody who has read Dickens will remember the little boy who was frightened away: by Scrooge as he sang through the keyhole of the door: \u201cGod rest you, merry gentlemen, Let nothing you dismay.\u201d The Singing of Carols.The bay was a representative of the waits of the olden time, who went about on Christmas eve, as well as on Christmas morning, .singing thew merry songs or carols, The custom is still In vogue in some parts of England, and only one.who Has ever heard the waits will regret that the old fashion does not come into more, general use.The way was for the choristers of a church té go through the village on Christmas even, stop opposite the doors of houses and sing.They always received gifts, and they expended any money which they got In a social merry making on Twelfth Day, two jweeks afterward.The airs to which thelr carols werz sung were no less plaintive and melodious an the words, and the voices were ot eft accompanied by Instruments, The writer has a vivid recollection of hearing these carols sung on Christmas even in front of his house.\u201cThe sweet and pathetic melody and the picturesqueness of the group of singers whose forms were outlined in the darkness of the night by the light of one or two lanterns which they carried, have left a lasting impression.He has been awakened on the morning of Christmas Day by sweet sing: ing under his windew.It can readily be imagined how delightfully there fell upon the half-siumbering ear such strains as: \u201cWhen Christ was born of Mary free, In Bethlehem, in that fair citie, .Angels sang there, with mirth and glee, .In Excelsis Glorie.\u201d or this.which has ali the simplicity and melodiousness of ballad poetry: \u201cf saw three ships come sailing in On Christmas Day.on Christmas Day: 1 saw three ships

tells us; and in the days of knights and barons open house was kept, and for two weeks nothing was heard of but revelry and feasting.At the grand feast on Christmas Day.there was great pomp and \u201ccircumstance.Among the dishes served up.the boar's head was first at the feast and foremost on the board.Heralded by a flourish of trumpets and accompanied by strains of music, it was.carried on a dish of gold or mil- ver into the banqueting hall by ths steward, who, as he marched at the head of the procession of nobles, knights and ladies, sang: \u201cThe boar\u2019s head in hand bring L With karlands gay and rosemary;.I pray you all sing merrily!\u201d The peacock was also a favorite Christmas dish.It was covered with leaf-gold, and it was carried into the dining room by the most distinguished of the lady guests.Mince Pie in 1596.Mince pies were popular as early es 1596, and in a book of cookery pub lished in 1675 there is a recipe for a pudding to be boiled in a basin, which bears a strong resemblance to our modern Christmas plum pudding.But besides being day of feasting, Christmas calls forth feelings of affection and goodwill.Quarrels.are forgotten, old friendships are renewed and strengthened, and a universal spirit of charity and forgiveness is ! evoked.Of the olden-time oelebra- tions the poet says: \u201cThe hall was then with holly - crowned, \"Twas on the wild-deer's antiers placed; it hemmed the battered armor round, And every ancient trophy graced.It decked the boar\u2019s head, tusked and grim, The wassall bowl wreathed to the brim, A summer-green hung everwhere, For Chriatmas came but once a year.\u201d We have still the holly, and, besides this, the poor and the destitute are net forgotten.Parents and children, bre- thers and sisters.all strive to eather round the Christmas bearth.A The best feelings of human nature are evoken at these family reunions, and in the sacred associations with which they are intertwined, and the acts of kindness which the season calle forth, may be found.a partial resliss- tion of the message of the angels to the shepherds, \"On earth peace, good will towards men.\u201d COULD NOT CURE.WEEPING lk

pate.\u2018Clearly there was something pressing heavily on his mind.Usually of the most cheerful and smiling disposi- | tion, a frown disfigured his counten- | ancé and deep wrinkles displaced the .accustomed smooth forehead which is the usual accompaniment of a cheerful \"nature.\u2019 It was the period when good Santa \" found.on consulting his calendar, that .he must prepare to keep his engagements with the good and deserving children throughout the land.There were the finishing touches to be made to great masses of toys and playthings of all kinds; toys of all alzes and of all materials; toys that worked mechanically and those that did not work at all; toys representing .&il kinds of animals, toy trains and toy steamboats; and altogether such \"8 vast array that it would be impossible to mention them here; and at any rate it was not intended that such should be done at this time, for .every deserving boy knows the sort of thing Santa Claus brings him, so keen is his power to read the thoughts of his little friends.After seeing thnt everything was ship-shape and trim, that ro nails or screws were loose or pieces coming apart, Santa had to pack all these things carefully for -the long trip to the homes of the little boys and girls who were on his list of deserving ones.Then, too.he had to see that his double team of reindeer was properly groomed and in the best of spirits for the trip.that the harness and the strips of merrv bells were all ready to put on and strong enough to stand the great strain which would be put upon them in the long journey which Santa has to make every Christmas.Of course you know that attempts bave been made to get Santa to use an automobile, or an airship, or a balloon, or some other outlandish cone trivance, but he has decided to stick to his Reindeer for the present.or \" one.thing they are more romantic and \u201cmore in accord with the spirit of the time than any of these mechanical contrivances.Besides it has not been - demonstrated that the latest inventions for travel or.land and in the salir are trustworthy in the region where Santa Claus comes from.Now, of course, it is within the Knowledge of young and old that the Arctic region, in the vicinity of the North.Pole, has long been regarded as .the home of Santa Claus.Up there, : far removed from the hubbub of the © struggle for wealth and fame, constantly going on in the warmer sections of the world, Santa has gone along : quietly performing the duties of pur- ~! weyor of joy and happiness to the rising generation.Although young at one time, and advanced to the age when men grow grey whiskers and attain\u2019 a rotundity of figure which goes with the three-quarter stage of human existence, hé has evidently discovered that it is not necessary to grow any older and ever since we of our generation, can remember, and our fathers and mothers for that matter, he has been at the grey-whiskered stage of life.This is not as wonderful when it is realized that à day with us is but a minute at -the North Pole, where he was wont to spend most of his time.I sald \u2018was wont\u2019 Instead of \u201clis wont\u2019 because dear old Santa has been disturbed In his territorial possessions and that is why he sat with a perplexed look on his face, as I remarked at the outset of this narrative, and wis scratching his head as if trying to: raise an idea.I thought I heard him mutter: \u201cI guess my goose is \u2018Cook*-ed,\u201d but T suppose it must have been imagination, because Santa Claus < must be too sensible to make such @ pun as that.Now if anyone invaded his land, all secrecy would be gone, of course.Boys and girls who only receive a visit once a year might find him out any time and that would spoil the whole spirit of the thing.\u2018Familiarity breeds contempt,\u201d we have been told, and naturally if all boys and giris could hunt up ?\"the novelty of the thing would wear Santa when the feeling prompted them off and we might as well have no Santa at all.So you cun see that it was absolutely necessary for the well being and comfort of Santa that he should keep his.domain a secret and inaccessible place where prying eyes could not reach and people could not journey when they took the notion.But it seems as though not even the remotest part of the Earth, could be Kept secret these times for, ag you have read in the newspapers for some months past, two men who have been trying to reach the North Pole, have both claimed the honor of being there first and there has been such a horrible clatter of argument for one or the other over the dispute that the rights of Santa were completely tgnored ahd forgotten.Of course Santa Claus knew where the North Pole was long ago, before Cook or Peary were born, and has been coming and going right along bringing out his loads of toys and presents for good children long before the bold- \u2018est of Arctic explorers got within a many hundreds of miles of the Pole.But stern fate has to be faced and here was our'reverenced old friend \u201cup against it\u201d as the slangy boy or girl, whose language might cause Santa to forget them, would say.There was no more secrecy to be hoped for up there.Dear knows how many prying eves would be peeking around the sacred precincts before long: now that the way \u2018had been markéd out and it bad been found possible for human beings to stand the extreme cold up there.Santa thought he was the only one who could do that, but we see \"ne wag mistaken for once, apd it is no wonder he had a frown on his face as ye found him.at the opening of this story.\u2018 .5 : Now it would not be a very difficult matter to imaginé what was in Santa's thoughts as he thus sat in a perplexed mood.He had made up his mind that it would bé necessary to find a new domain which would be sacred to himself and thé good youth of the land, but where was it to be found.Ah! there was the rub.\u2019 Where could he go that man has not gone?The North Pole was about the last place that they had to conquer.\u2018 Truë there was the South Pole, Lut then it was only à matter of time when that region would also be an open book.Many had tried and each time the distance between the l'\u2019ols and the \u201cFurthest South\u201d point wns closing up, \u201cNo, that would not do,\u201d he argued to himself.\u201cWhére Santa goes next must be something permanent, some place where the prying eves of man cannot reach, not for many hundreds of years at least.\u201d - Here was clearly a situation which called for the most careful and thoughtful consideration, =~ Supposing one of us was placed in the same predicament what would be the obvious course?Certainly it would be too big a question to be decided all at once.Woild we be satisfied to come to a decision .even after looking into the matter with great care, trusting entirely to our own judgment?Well hardly.Without doubt it would be a case for consultation with our friends, in fact our most intimate friends, and those best calculated to form a helpful judgment.; Unfortunately for our dear old friend, he of the prancing Reindeer and the jingling bells, there was no human being with whom he could confer on such a matter of grave impor- ] tance, one which meant so much to his future success and the happiness of so many girls and boys scattered throughout the length and breadth of the land.Perhaps you boys and girls think you could hand out some very valuable advice to Santa, but I am afraid it would not be considered sufficiently disinterested.Would you not be rather inclined to advise him to take up a location where he would be even more easily reached than at the pre- gent time?Would not there be a strong disposition to wish that he be placed where Christmas joys and festivities might come more than once a vear?Very little doubt of it in- \"deed.- : But then, as you can readily see, that would result in a state of affairs somewhat akin to the little boy who wished to live on candies and wad allowed to give it a trial.It was not very long before he fairly loathed the sight of sweets and never wanted to see them again.So it would be if Santa Claus was to be at Our beck and call, providing Christmas enjoyment whenever the whim struck us.Christmas would become even commoner thian our Saturday holidays and by the time the dute \u2018came around for our real Christmas, why we would not care a farthing whether there was one or not.No, clearly, boys and girls, it would never do to make Santa and.Christmas so common as that.No one realized that truth more than our kind, old bewhiskered friend.the whip of the Rein- der team.but he wanted every hoy and girl to realize it for themselves and not feel disappointed, when it became.necessary to make a change, over the fact that it would be essential to the happiness of everybody that matters should remaln as they are and that there should be no changing of dates.That point being well established.we can now go On to see what method Santa should adopt to get out of the dilemma in which he was placed by the prving eyes of the Arctic explorers \\ \\/ Wl Bh See NR ox

that vear famous in the annals §= of men.Year after year they had been creeping up closer and closer to his beloved domain.Many of them perished In the attempt to.attain the gonl of thelr ambition but; threre was no dearth of new aspirants,\u201d Each year the tracks of men .were carried farther ang farther out into the great polar sea and the reaim of Santa bes came pmaller and smaller.Money in an ever increasing volume wag poured into the vortex of human effort, all for a purpose which seemed to be devoid of real benefit so far as the ultimate happiness of mankind was concerned.Santa often pondered over this and thought how much happiness he could bestow on the .néedy if he had half ther amount that was spenj randering untenable his time hon- |\u2019 qred home.- .\u201c Nô doubt many would follow-in.the footsteps of the pioneers gf the Arctic reglon in years to come hut outside the hunter and a few traders very few could ever hope to go so far North, The Esquimaux would be the chief beneficiaries as they would soon learn: to make better barguins with the white men.Instead of giving up their valii- able furs and ivories for some miserable.little trinket, or perhaps_a knife and some needles, they would.soon learn to demand more and reduce the enormous profits of the traders.But this is wandering away from the subject, and the Esquimaux and their | bargains can have no concera for Santa Claus and the fairies who are on the \u2018point of holding a cunference or convention to discuss ways and means of providing Santa Claus with a new domain.; ; When the last trace of the explorers had been seen in the Arctic region for that season at least the call went out for the gathering of the fairies to meet in the polar palace of Santa Claus.This was to prove more memorable in the annals of the North Pole than even the discovery of that mysterious centre of the meridians by the adventurous explorers, Cook and Peary.Who could describe the splendors of that Polar palace and the great hall in which the fairies met at the bidding t The dazzling radiance of the scène was -beyond words adequate to create even a partial impression of its magnificence.of electric lights would be like so many dim flickers of candles compared with the brightness of the Aurora Borealis Thousands which was turned on full force to add The glittering lights on the gi | » | Polar

recollection.\u2018The midnight Sun bathed the whole scene in a color ine comparable for beauty while the so- called purple snows added to the gorgeous color scheme, fitted to a guther- ing so unique in its character.There wag a flutter of \u2018interest in Fairyland when the summons was re- cgived from Father Santa Claus.Only a matter of great importance could have arisen for such a gathering.The Éeficient One, long recognized as ig \"to maintain te greatest ¢y.as to his movements and-do- ings, only asked his friends to consult with him.when a crisis had arisen In his domain.Naturally.therefore.all the pretty Fairies wondered what could have happened.They were not long té be kept in suspense, After they had passed the sentry, a: magnificent white fur.who bowed profoundly as each of them passed in, they found themselves in the presence of Santa Claus, who saluted each as they took their places.\u201d He was attired in his familiar red robe trimmed with white für, the appearance of which was eñ- tirely in keeping with his snowy white hair and beard.hen the greetings had been concluded Santa Claus addressed his company as follows: \u201cMy Dea: Fairy Friends: ; \u201cDoubtless you realize the importance of this gathering, because ypu well know I would not have invited you here else something uncommon had happened in our fair domain.For several

possession of the information, but it would be too bad to spoil such a pretty dispute and deprive our friends of civilization of a \"a hearty and satisfying wrangle, \u201cBut I must return without delay .to the purpose of my invitation to this conclave.As I have stated.our domain has been invaded, and tt is with keen regret that I realize it wil] be necessary to seek another where peace and quietness will be assured, 1 know\u2019 that from among your nufgber some valuable suggestions wlll be obtained.1 have in my%Wwn mind such a place as I desire, but the distance is great and 1 fain

received.\u201d : .Nothing hut the occasional jingle of the bells on Santa's Reindeer, standing in an adjoining cavern, disturbed the silence for a few moments.Eventually the leading fairy, accorded first place, no doubt, by her sister fairies.on account of her-dazziing beauty and splendor of tigure, arose and addressed Tfis Majesty in these words: \u201cGreat and Good Santa Claus: \u201cAlthough we feared that thia crisis in your !ey domain would come sooner or later, we had hoped that the Arctic region would be spared to you for some time yet.It is hardly to be hoped that the empty honor of having reached the North Pole will stay men's curiosity for a time, and that nothing further may transpire for a good many years in the way of Polar enterprise.We all realize that where one or two venturesome ones have ; the younger generation.In order to accomplish this it has been neccessary to maintain our headquarters far removed from the activities of civilization for reasons which are apparent to everyone.Our time honored base has been the Arctic region, in the vicinity of the North Pole.After Te- peated attempts on the part of explorers to investigate that part of the earths we all know how well two have succeeded and even yet civilization rebounds with the disputé as to which of them reached that much sought Santa Claus startled by thg invasion of his hitherto impregnable domain by North Pole explorers.; goal first.We, of course, could easily gone others will want to.follow, some for sport and others for profit, while the consumption.of Polar literature for some time to come will no doubt {some disadvantages.The discussion which followed and the numerous suggestions which were made covered such a wide range that it would be impossible to deal with them all.Some of them were very good, others were not particularly valuable.The pli proposed that Santa should move to the South Pole was heard.but it was pointed out that the success of exploration in the Arctic would inevitably stimulate interest in the Antarctic region, and following up Shackleton\u2019s success some adventurous explorer would goon reach the South -Pale.LT Another suggestion was that Santa shquld take possession of the highest mountain peak in the world and there establish his kingdom.where.for a time at least, he would be far removed from the\u2019 curious gaze of humnn beings.While having merit, the sv - gestion impressed Santa as having Then there was always the fear of some loté*lorn Abruzzi making a dash and scaling the heights.An uninhabited island in some far off ocean.nossessed gome merit.but as an island of that kind was exposed to the danger of discovery at any moment the idea.was not geriously entertained.The interior of the Earth Santa, feared would be rather warm, and the depths of the sea rather wet, 80 that those two suggestions were laid aside.For some time Santa thought about the idea of providing himself with a gigantic airship which it was proposed he should anchor in the upper regions of the sky and from there carry on his.beneficent work.but the danger from some daredevil\u2019 aeronaut eventually caused him to regretfully drop the {dea, as its novelty somewhat appealed to him.At length, when all the fairies who were able to evolve ideas had presented them, Santa said: \u201cMy dear Fairies: be enormous \u2018and tempting to other authors to emulate the example to ex- ! plore and write about that wonder- ! fu! field.; \u201cThere is apparently nothing else therefore that can be done; man will eventually be supreme

it is the spirit of joy: it is the spirit of love.These are all eminently of the home.-In this world of \u201cstorm and stress\u201d we are sometimes apt to forget these \"finer elements of human nature.But when we gather together to welcome Santa Claus or \u201cKris Kringle, we renew and set them deeper in our It is at Christmas that we most readily and thoroughly \u201cbecome as little children.\u201d } Some people there are, rich in the wisdom of this world, who loftily condemn the fairy lore of Christmastide as an education of the children in prevarication and error.These are the .\u201cgrown-ups\u201d of the spirit, and \u201ca\u2019 lit- \"tle child shall\u201d not \u201clead them.\u201d For them \u201cthe fairy gates and golden\u201d will never swing open.Their language is not the language of the \u201cnot-grown- ups,\u201d and there can be no communication between them.Among such count us not.We believe that the memories of childhood are all the richer becaasa of à vision of Santa Claus driving his reindeer over the snowy hills into the face of the rising sun; or because of a dream of Santa clambering down the cliilmney with \u201chis pack.which even the sootiest of flues cannot blacken; or because of lving close hidden under the bed- * clothés for fear the effort to spy on him might frighten away the driver of the reindeer.For the true child\u2014of _ six or of sixty\u2014Santa Claus and his reihdeer are real, and prosaic facts of every day that would push him into \u201cthe background arc of the \u2018things that \u201cshall pass away.When Scrooge awoke out, of - bis ream, he eboutéd: \u201cI am as light as à feather, T «m as happy as an angel, I am as merry as schoolboy.\u201d Scrooge pad :the'true spirit of» Christ - imas.He had escaped from the chrys- alls of the \u201cgrown-ups\u201d into the freedom of the \u201cnot-grown-up.\u201d That Is how.we gather around the grate and open: the stockings one by one; reach for our parcels out pt the mail- \u2018bag as it is opened by thé Fathér of the Family; or trolic about the gaily lighted Christmas Tree, \u2018with its fruits that grow on no other tres in all the \u2018world.It is as \"little children\u201d that Join fn the fun of opening the par- cele, and | «et just.as much pleasure r a .or r own gifts.i: That is the secret of the deep ap- 1 \u2018ot Ohélstmes.For the day we ail | Hinds; \u201cwe are all akin; for we it of childhood\u2014and of Love.A WESTERN BOGE\" MAN: At stated intervals a growl is emitted from Manitoba about the exten sion \u2018of her boundaries to the north or to- the north and east.So far.despite ali \u2018negotiations, the matter has not been: arranged between Winnipeg and Ottawa.The delay is variously explained, and among the mass of.pros.and\u2019 cons.figures the Separate School Question\u2014dragged out of its grave -to do political duty once more.Certain Manitoba politiclans\u2014with what war- Jrant does not, appear\u2014assert that the Ottawa anthorities will not allow any, annexation of®new territory by' the \u201cPostage Stamp\u201d Province until assurances .are given that separate schools shall be maintained is the new pro- vinelal areas.\u2018And this alleged reason is put forward at intervals from Winnipeg in the most provocative manner.So fàt we have not observed any Ottawa refoinder, and, in that respect, \u2018at-léaèt; the tactics of silence under fire are commenddble.Canada has }had enough of sphool questions with their obliteration of live national issues and the stirring up of strife in the interest of politicians.We do not pretend to know the mind of the Ottawa Government in this matter, but the Premier's.former action with regard to Manitoba would hardly indicate that he seeks to rivet separate schools upon the province.Sir Wilfrid is possibly playing politics in the matter just a8 are Messrs.Roblin and Rogers.All three are adepts; all three are in power, and they all three are inclined to grasp dt the best weapon readiest at hand.There is considerable credit to be given to any provincial government in Manitoba that succeeds in widening the provincial boundaries; Sir Wilfrid knows that; possibly, too, he knows that a good way to deprive an opponent of credit is to withhold the factor that would confer popularity and win acclaim.No; Sir Wilfrid is not giving away any tricks to his wily Western opponents.So we have the Se te School bogey.The.capacity \u201cof Mr.Rogers to deal a straw man a thump that makes a noise like a cracked rib no one will deny.Mr.Roblin, too, is an expert when it comes to crying \u201cWolf!* Their political opponents in Manitoba sometimes accuse the Roblin Government of toquet- ting with the school question a great deal nearer home than the territory desired for annexation.But let that go for what it is worth.We started out to say that we have had enough Manitoba school questions; and we stick to it, and denounce the politicians who drag that question in by the heels as mischief-makers.\u201cPAY\u2014PAY\u2014PAY!?In Great Britain the elections are fairly free from certain gross forms of bribery, especially \u2018that whereby the promise of public expenditures in the constituency attacked buys the electors\u2019 with their own money.Politics there have large issues; and better than all, Britain commands the services of a considerable number of disinterested men who pursue politics as a career instead of as a profession or a trade.In many respects we may admire British conditions.But in the one field of specific spehding of the candidate's or the party's own money in the constituency we are not without distinguished British company.Some time since Blackwood's Magazine published an entertaining article by a defeated candidate.He had nursed his constituency for about two years; he spent £3,000 in the process; and after his failure had_the satisfaction bf hearing that his misfortune had been due to\u2019 his stinginess! He mentioned one \u2018member of Parliament whom he knew to spend £4,000 a year for the privilege of remaining in the House of Commons.In his opinion about as much money goes into a constituency as in the old ence being that the recipients are now more respectable.Instead of paying sovereigns on polling day to the independent holders of.the franchise, the aspirant for the Hous * to- day subscribes to countless sccleties, funds, interests and _ objects, including churches, chapels, the local Territorial regiment, benevolent sobieties, civic projects; and so forth.To this first-hand testimony is added a few direct words from that candid friend of the Unionist party, The National Review.Tt falis foul of the habit of making \u2018local demands upon the cheque-book of the member or candidate.Indeed, The National Review goes beyond the writer in Blackw and charges that many local Conservative Associations make exorbitant demands on thelr own account-\u2014black- mail, it styles it.Such associations look for u local plutocrat; if none be available.\u201cthey usually confront the Central Office with a demand for \u2018a £1,000-u- year, or maybe a £2,000-a-year.candidate.According to a politician who has had sdme experience of, constituencies, £500 per énnum ts the minimum extorted.from a.Unionist candidate in any seat where there is evên a fighting chance\u201d This very frank editor mentions one case @ghich came to his own personal Knowléfike.A candidate, in.a certain safe\u2019 seat, wus ex.the election would be £1,700; and he also was \u2018expected to take a housd and lve in the division.\u201cIn \u2018other - words.ny.man with fess than.16,000 &.year red apply, and an\u2019 éxpenditure of from [before the general election.\u201d This extortionate disposition seems to be low aot EEE days of buying votes, the only differ- | pected to spend £700 per annum in sub- | scriptions and registration,\u201d the cost of |! £15,000 to £30,000 might be anticipated ho Me would Rs \u2018those.who wabt to de thelr nylog a chance.i a \u201cbegs- \u2018to- state that 1 Cana t-1t-15-not- D For trouble dn a tariff way, but oh f we insist.on it, it will be there Indianapolis News.The child of to-day casts legends away | Ie Joka to bis, x parents, his uncles or, - < auntle.Romance to the mat!

and that we hear nothing of tlie hideous perjury which has become an.accepted fes- ture of à controverted election in Can- \u2018ada.in matching Bribery against bribery.we stil find the score in the Engiishmen\u2019s favor.HOW.THEY VOTE VOTE \u201cAT HOME» Why.are the elections.in the United Kingdom strung ou , Instead of having the 'v - bre.have.never asked\u2019 hemselves.3 not anewer.The fact te t of potting ta fixed fn by the \u2018tocal returhing ettiour quite such large sums.and to that ex- | | have made known, the writs, which have been prepared beforehand, are sent out simultaneously by registered mall.or by Special messenger.They are de- Hvered to the Returning Officer in each constituency.In the casé of an elec- tior.for a.county or district borough the returning officer shall fix the day of nomination not later than the ninth Jay after the day on which he receives the writ, with an interval of not leas than three clear days between the day on which he givés the notice and the day of nomination.In the case of an election ih a borough other than a district borough, the returning officer shall fix nomination not later than the fourth day after that on which he ré- celves the writ, with an interval of not less than two clear days between the day of notice and the aay of nomination.\u2018This gives personal discretion to the returning officer, and he exercises it variously.The result may be that in succeeding elections the official would choose different lapses of time.When more tian one candidate is nominated the returning officer fixes the polling day, but in case of a county or distriét borough it must be not less than two, nor wore than six clear days after nomination.In other than district boroiighs it must be not mort than three clear days after nomjnatien.| Christmas and Sundays do.not count.Thus, suppdaing January 10 to be the day of dissolution, and, therefore, that{ on which the writs are sent out allowing for the.requirements mentioned, the actual voting in the ordinary bor.| oughs, including London, could take} \u2018place anywhere between the 15th and Aoth, and in the cpunties anywhere be» tween the 18th and 28th.The consequences of not.gai.rer having | elections all held on the same/day is \u2018that men who have votes: in more than onb.constituency daft, In some cues, exorcise &i the franchise.that\u2019 théy There bias been an agitation jn the Unite Kingdom for \u201cone man one | vote\u201d and for simultaneous polling, but, , so far no party has consented toe change.The returning ofticers us fixed > statute, are tie sherifts, except.in cèr- tain English and.Irish: gh (hot : \u2018being coufities or towns).where the + Dinner.X In Plain Ana Fane and $5.00 A Few Santa Claus Stookings and and Provisions, W Make sure and see that you, have got averyibing.in for your\u2019 Xmas | Our Stores will be opén to midnight for the sale.and delivery of your nes and Liquors, Xmas Chocolates and Bon Bons vy Boxes of all shapes and sizes, from 10c up to $4.00 Xmas Crackers FRESH FRUIT of every.description.FRUITS.\u201c\u2018Clarnico Lucky Tubs\u201d Medium size .cv0 ou.Bseteaene ss rrrersess sew nes wee see L@rge size .su ass antsve vve vou bup seu vee mee nan Fraser\u2019s Fine Coffees Always popular, have an enormous sale durin, i Fraser's Special Coffee FN oe ven : ing the Holiday 250 pe \u2018Fraser's Club Coffee ,.Fraser's Mocha New Season\u2019s Nuts L a Sve rouen 06 a.u oc Fraser's Cream Coffee .eee.* +16 vuarte sve sre Ase PLUM PUDDINGS, all sizes, | FRANCO-AMERICAN SOUPS, all varieties.COOKED OX TONGUE, in tins and glass jars.ase i eve ses a.meses .sone ê » CHOICE TABLE RAISINS, smail and large boxes.FOREIGN AND DOMESTIC CHEESE BISCUITS OF EVERY DESCRIPTION.CANNED FRUITS, all kinds.JAMS, JELLIES AND PRESERVES.Walnuts .8.8.Almonds .Sicily Filberts .Roasted Peanuts Washed Brazils .+.eu vevoce se Polished Pecans .ses vevseusiensaue vie Kent Cobnuts .* +08 cesses ese sas os eus = 5 see sn enos.6 vue ve are 0.see eu.+.>» \u2026 [re a.=:6 veuves ese BED tes asw à Doyen\u2019s Pate de Foie Gras Pi.IN TINS AND TERRINES.es esasse io 40c 45e soc c per Christmas Day Supplies.Everything of the very best quality in Groceries Cigars, (Cigarettes and Tobaccos, , Per Per Per Xmas Port Wines ;

and fervour of Henry George glows within him, and it was but natural that he should throw himself with energy into the campaign for the Budget of Mr.Lloyd-George.A fierce political opponent.writing In the National Review of November.favs of him: \u2014 \u201cThe energy.mental und physical.which he (Mr.Ure) has displayed has been stupendous.The volume of his platform oratory\u2014in advocating his crazy crotchet of taxing \u2018land values and in extolling the beauties of th: Budget Bill to jaded meetings\u2014is surely unparalleled.He must have made Usé of every train in Bradshaw.- Mr.Ure, says a political friend, has addressed more\u2019 meetings during the last.six months than any public mah ever did in the same period.» PRESS AND Magnitude of the Claim.Morning Leader \u2018(Radicalh:\u2014 The claim of the Houre of Lords may be \u201cexcused by Ingenu:ty or appiauded by reaction.But its meaning cannot be altered.In laying its hand upon finance.the House of Ic4ds ta azsert- ing a three-foid vlaim (1) to contral taxation: (2) to fore- a dissolution at its pleasure: and (3) to make and unmake executive goveraments.Mr.Balfour's complicated apologies do not - modify the essential fact stated with the Prime Minister's stecam-hammer hweidity.The Un'onist party may admire the action uf the Y,ords.They .cannot deny it.And while this \u2018s 80 it is the businons of Liberals to bring home to every elected the magnitude of the Lords\u2019 claim: its confitet with our political traditions: its incompatibility with any responsible self-government, its fundamental contradiction 10 the prinoipies of British freedom, : .: Overtaken by Nemesis.Daily Telegraph (Unionist): \u2014Ne- mesls had overtaken the unparalled majority secured nearly four years ago by the campaign of slander.calumny.and falsehood which decided the result of the Yellow Elections.As unwept, unhonored, unsung as any assembly Of Max sort in gur modern annals.this Parliament goer dead down to the dead.- The Radical-Socialist coalition are Swept out of their seats.The dema- \u201cRogues.in their own despite, are forced to face the people; and let it not he forgotten for a moment that it ia the 3 who have insisted that the coun- thy shall be consulted, that the un- \u2018Wbubted will of the nation shall be Afcertained.and the démagozure are those who have fought to the last to \u201cprevent an appéal to the consti.-tueneies.owt.Daily News (Radical): \u2014If the Lords may reject a Budget they can threaten : $y Government or House of Com- fons with the highest of all sanétions wedoath, while they themselves.India- Broo © Lo -~ Nr, Keir Hi dure OL.CHm6 ap near wrecking the Liberal forest k land clauses.1 vationt was popular: + e ua = ) + $ + hg fashionablé he aimost ).cornered contest.SAMSON OF THE Why they should be 80 particularly ¢ somethin a qe Es REA PART URE, WHO AROSE AMAZING BITTERNESS IN MR.BALFOUR sts Simply Use the Lioyd-George Budget With Land and Licensing Clauses Left Out ?-Repudiation of the Whole Tory Policy, Mr.Alexander Ure, M.P., K.C., Soil- citor-General for Scotland and \" prospective Lord Advocate.But all his speeches might have passed comparatively unnoticed of he had not brought out his famous Old-Age Pension scare.This shot went home.The Opposition, well aware that thelr own record on Old-Age Pensions exposed them to the well-deserved suspicion of the pensioners, read with horror in their morning papers abbre- -viated summaries of Mr.Ure's speeches which asserted that he had deciared no Old-Age Pensions would be paid if the Unionists came back to office.They are still smarting from the effeel 01 the Chinese Slavery cry at last general election, and they shuddered at the \u201cthought of the electoral effect of such a taking cory as \u201cYou will pension It the Liberals\u201dlose the Elee- tion.\u201d It is not quite clear who is primarily responsible for the crystallisation of the perfectly sound and legitimate arguments of Mr.Ure as to the impossibility of providing funds to pay the pensions on Unionist principles.' Poagibly ii was some reporter anxious to ecomomise in the-cost of telegrams.Whoever it was.he was, all unknowing, the means of creating a great political \u2018feputation and of destroying the whole cause of the Opposition.< UNIONIST LEADER'S BITTER CRITICISM.Mr.Ure made five speeches in rapid succession.in ail of which he developed the same thesis, and all of which were reported in the customary condensod fashion by the daily papers.Representations began.to pour in to the Tory headquarters as to the alarm these abbreviated statements were producing far and wide inh the country.Mr.Eaifour seems lo have: lost his head.Apparently without taking the trouble to ascertain what it was Mr.Ure had really said.he decided to make a careful and premeditated explosion of indignation at a luncheon in the city on October 26th, \u201csatd:\u2014 ly the expressions of an excited orator 10 an excited audience.It was the frigid and calcutated lie which: moved his indignation.1t was an outrage, not upon a particular party.but upon whole fabric of free institutione_that lies should be carefully thought out; detiberately coined, and then put inte illegitimate circulation.Occasionally things were said which passed the line.but when said manifestly with deliberation.obviously with intention, and when repeated from.time to time.then \u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 ELECTIONS + soluble and.independent of election, are bevond and above all thréats and feurs.The Lords will be able to reject a Budget because they dislike ita provisions or for any other reason.They may dislike a Government's _ educat\u2019on ov naval or military or flecal i policy, snd so long as the Lo are : the masters of the guillotine the Government and the House of Commons , must submit or suffer execution.If this system becomes established, in its carly years Cabinets and Parliaments may prefer death to submission.but In the process of (time their spirit will ba \u2018broken and they will accept the alternative of submission.The arbiter nf life and death must in the end make his will prevail and the House of Lords will become supreme in the State, A Forgotten Factor.London Standard (Radical):-\u2014Have the Government themselves ized the -|Possible consequences of their pôliey * They are obviously uncertain of the result of the forthcoming appeal to the electorate.Indeeé.the intention rot to leave their house in order, but to feave it with a considerable thess to be cleared up by their opponents, will be interpreted by the country as an indication that they expect their dppon- ents will be returned.If these #nti- cipations are realized.the work of a Unionist Government will be materially aided instead of hampered by the money due this year and paid next year.Every pound whose.payment ir thus postponed will facilitate the work of a Unionist Government in in- We imagine fhe Government havé overlooked this most important.but mecs \u201d A Bitl- Kiting Chamber.: Truth (Radical): \u2014One of the best points in the House of Lords debate goresess0ss000s0000000e THE ATTITUDE OF LABOR.ALP.speaking at \u2018Crewe, said that the Budget Why.wa the Budget League à to save the Government from being of it&.own.The President of the Board of.Trade when ktrew how to trim his sails to éatok votes.Mr.Churchill 'hopéd that à the Labor candidate would withdraw in Crewe and.avoid +.threes, His hopes wogld not be benitxed in Y reapeet 3 on the Finance Bill was that made by Lord Lucas\u2014that we.are reduced at present to A pecullarly insidious form of one-chamber government.Lord aesoooes t 0 party as did Home-Rule 35 years \u201cdefeated on the | s among the tanks.when the In @® gat into power he got Into theirs, anil now that Soclulism was becom- + ry romised tb become a Socinlist.He well & ee + by wère told that three-cornered contests would.Fat: Torien in, :- 16\" & | wiere Pra pragé, à dla not + ty tad Istened to that cry there would have on no Labot party $ So viajes i ; \u2018ot opinion would sweep these ¢ @ todiy.sy intended to continue the fight until Laboz became the thigh.(Cheure.} & dominant power in the State.He predicted thut S5-Laber cindidates: | iis \"Lord L erie Pie 2 would ba returned at the election.\u2014 Cl RA # \u2018with by thelr wild a © FF 5 .\u2019 = .° JH - ® he - 3 \u201cbut CEIG 000000000000 ie : fe a the 060009 = er Yh CD en en tr loge your Mr.PBalfour4 \u201cIle di@ not wish to judge too harsh-.bigger than any party\u2014the augurating their Tarif!

Powers, Duties and Procedure,\u201d by Hon.Edward P.Thesiger, in the Empire Review.It | go\u2019 hesitate, for without referring to oughly the Upper House is one of the ite abolition would mean.Hon.Edward Pierson Thesiger, C.B., has been clerk assistant of the House of Lords since 1880.He is the voung- est son of the First Baron Cheimsford, who was Lord Chancellor of=Greht Britain.Mr.Thesiger was appointed clerk in the Parliament office in 1862, then : Secretary of the Presenta- in 1866.holding that office until he was appointed to that he now .occupies.COMPOSITION OF HOUSE AND MANNER OF VOTING In the article in question he points out that at the present time the Heuse of Lords consists of 620 members 594 being lords temporal, and 26 lords spiritual.Of the lords temporal, 549 hold life peerages under the provisions of the Appellate Jurisdiction Act, 16 are representative peers af Scotland, elected anew each Parliament, and 28 Are fgpresentative = peers: of- Ireland, elected for life.A peer adjudged bankrupt cannot sit or vote in the House of Lords.or serve on any committee, nor can he be elected as a representative peer of Scotland or Ireland.The disqualification can be removed, however, if the bankruptcy be annulled, or if the peer obtain his discharge with a certificate tBat tha bankruptcy was caused by misfortune and not by misconduct.It will thus be seen that the House of Lords is not filled with needy peers as has been said.Until forty vears ago peers had the right to vote by proxy on questions before the House- and this privilege was frequently exercised.It was leminent- ly desirable that the judgment of the House should not be influenced by the votes of peers who had not been present during.the debate, and a.few years later a Standing Order was passed which put an end to ihe practice of calling for proxies.It is necessary that two days\u2019 notice be given of any motion for the suspension of this order.A privilege still maintained and frequently.exercised, ig that of making a protest against a vote of the House, or expressing dissent from a resolution to which it has agreed.\u201cAccording ito usage a Lord cannot enter his protest or éissent \u2018unless he was present and voted at the putting of the question.but this rule is sometimes waived, and fn 1887 certain lords ware allowed to enter their protests, although they were Sg Fo Nk of the House; but there is no power of counting out the House such as the House of Commons possesses,'so that if by some unlucky mischance the attendance were to fall below his number.the Lord Chancellor would have to remain \u2018on the woolsack until one or more lords, as the case might be, could be brought to enable the House to ad- jowrn.But though the House can transact business when only three lords are present, a standing order passed in 1889 provides that on a division on any stage of a bill, if less than thirty lords are present the Chancellor shall declare the matter not declded, and further proceedings on the Bill are adjourned until next sitting.BUSINESS OF THE HOUSE IS VERY EXTENSIVE.\u2018The busineSt of the House of Lords is divided into three dlvisions\u2014judicial, public, and private: and I propose to deal with these divisions in the order named.\u201cIt is often forgotten that the House \u201c constrèu perform as the final Court of Appeal for the United Kingdom in legal matters.and that for four days in every week during the parliamentary session it is sitting from 10.80 to 4 o'clock in the afternoon to determine appeals from courts of law in England, Scot- liad, and\u2019 Ireland.The House is alse empowered to sit, and invariably does ait, for the same purpose after Parliament Is prorogued; and by special authority from the Crown.under sign- manual, the legal! Peers are allowed to hear Appeals in the name of the House during the dissolution of Parliament.\u201cThe Court consists of the Lord Chancellor for the.om belng, | the Lords of Appeal in nary.an eers who have held office of Lord Chancellor or Lord of Appeal in Ordinary, have been orare members of the Judi- çal Committes or Judges of one of the Superior Courte of Great Britain and Ireland, and unless three such Peers are present.no appeal can be heard.Generally four or five Peers from a court, but the number is often larger, and in \u2018a very important appeal as many as nine have been Xnown to sit.\u2018 ; \u201cParliament has always been most \u2018careful and considerate when legislating for the Colonies, and the fact that many Peers have held the office of Viceroy of India, Governor-General of Canada, or Governor of one of the Australian States, or have lived the greater prime pm \u201d p pr.BY An Experiénced Authority Shows How They Do More Work : han the Commons and are Ever in \"Touch with the People\u2019s Will-Colonisl Legislation and Important Legal Labors.« ted to deal intelligentiy and in a conciliatory manner with questions affecting Greater Britain.\u201cParliament does not, of course, legislate direct for the Colonies, but still, Colonial legislatures and Colonial laws are both subordinate to the supreme power of the Mother Country Therefore when, in 1888, the Constitution of Lower Canada was suspended, and a provisional government.with legisia- tive functions and great exécutive powers, was established by the British Government, Mr, Roebuck was permitted to be heard at the Bar.as Agent for the House of Assembly, against (to quote the terms of the petition praying to be heard) \u201cthe impolicy and injustice of the bill.\u201d In the same year, the House of Assembly of Jamaica having neglected to pass an effectual law for the regulation of prisons, which became necessary upon the emancipation of the negroes, Parliament interposed and passed a statute for the purpose, but, before doing so, counsel were allowed to be heard at the Bar on behalf of planters, merchants, and others interested in the island.And, in 1891, Sir William Whiteway, one of the delegates from the Legislative Council and House of Assembly of Newfoundland.addressed the House of Lords in an able and exhaustive speech against the Newfoundland Fisheries Il.: \u201cAs it is often said by [irresponsible critics\u2019 that the House of Lords does less work than the House of Commons, I should, perhaps, point out that, as far as legisict.on is concerned, the Lords deal with and pass many more bills than the Commons, though it must be admitted, either by way of praise or reproach, that they take very much less time about the work than do our elected members of Parliament.The Peers habitually act on the axiom laid down as a counsel of perfection in public \"speaking by an old Parliamentary hand: _ \u2018Have something to say, say it, and sit down.Every bill agreed to by the Commons must Also be passed by the Lords before it car.become law.and it happens very seldom that a biil passed in the Commons is thrown out in the House of Lords.but a very considerable number of highly useful men - sures agreed to in the Lords fail session after session even to obtain considers- tion in the Commons, owing to the congestion of business in that House.PEERS\u2019 RELATION TO \u201c FINANCIAL MEASURES.Dealing with the Houses duty-on financial measures, Mr.Fesiger says:\u2014 There have been occasions when the Peers have felt it to be their duty to cfiticise sharply the financial! proposals.of a Government, and even to reject or amend the Bill embodying them.This sesgion.for instance, the question of the power of the House of Lords to deal freely with a finance measure has been raised in an acute form by the introduction of a budget alleged to contain novel and socialistic principles of \u2018taxation, thät have not been submitted for the approval of the electorate, and which includes matters not immediate- 1x connécted with the raising of revenue for the current year.It cannot bé denied that the House of Lords pos- sesees theoretically the power of re- Jecting or amending money Bills.for these Bills recite that they are enacted \u201cby and with'the advice and consent of the Lords Spiritual and Temporal,\u201d and 8ir T.Erskine May.in his valuable work on Parliamentary Procedure, states that \u201cthe legal right of the Lords, as a co-ordinate branch of the legislature, to withhold their assent from any Bill whatever to which their concurrence is desired, is unquestionable; and in former times their power of rejecting i.money Bill had been expressly acknowledged by the ,Commons.\u201d But it is maintained that this power is analogous to that of tho Sov-' ereign to withhold his Royal Assent to a Bill, which, as I have already mentioned, has not been exercised since 1707, and that, as it would now be unconstitutional on the part of the Sovereign to withhold his assent to a Bill agreed to by Parliament.so it would be unconstitutional for the House of Lords to reject a Finance Bill passed by the House of Commons, with whom it i8 admitted that the initiative in granting supplies is vested.\u201cBut surely the two cases are not parallel.wee House of Lords has never allowed this power to lapse.In 1880 it rejected the Paper Duties Repeal Bill, thus overruling the financial arrangements of the Commons.This action was described as strictly constitutional by ne less an authority than Mr.Gladstone.A-4 apart from this instance and the rejection of the Bill for thé Abolition of Purchase in the Army.hardly ao session passes\u201d without the House of Lords amending money clausés in Bills sent up from the House of Commons.and though that House frequently refuses to consider such amendments on the ground of privilege.it has often, agreed to them sometimee with a protest, sometimes with a special entry made: in their jourhals, but on many occasions without any remonstrance when ghey do not materially infringe what they regard as their privileges.The eXercise of this power.however.updoubt- edly involves the acceptance of a grave responsibility, and would never: be lightly undertaken by the House.of Lords.\u201d Le The aritcle closes by describing.the scheme for the reform of the House of - 2 part of their lite in the Colonies, renders the House of Lords peculiarly fit- | .| it-for al} time to be shackled and monopolies and privileges?That |) it.The Budget was thrown gethir, they justify us in saying not Y only that the people have that right, § ure to exercise.But alec that any 1 it will go far towards.tie aurronder of \u2018eur ancient liberties\u2014perhaps sd ter toute that we shall never be sable io rye our steph\u201d 31 hn men, I will not believe that a RP PEE80800069080000080000060000686 ® \u20ac 660668000060 606666666666 V0 = LLOYD GEORGE'S \u201cMAD MULLAH\u201d SPEECH.here to bury nor to praise the Budget.If it is buried it is in the sure and certain hope of a glorious resurrection.down for trial in the great assize of the people and the verdict wilt come soon.The Assembly which nas delayed, denied, and mutilated .justice for so long has at last been brought to justice.flecting men of the Unionist Party, but by its Mad Mullahs.make the redress uf grievances a condition of that grant England with blood, Thit right is the proud possession.of Enilish.striking a single blow, Englishmen of to-da, mean to surrender one of: the finest and fairest provinces of freedom /wonh by their ancestors.0:8 0007000000006 000000060000604.\\ .; Pa ; + J w \u201c I gome here to-day not to preach a funeral oration.I am neither.* + - > At last the çause between the Peers and the people has been Bet $ * ry - roo \u201c :® Is this nation to be a free nation and to become a freer one, or is @ tethered by tariffs and trusts and @ 18 the issue, and no Liberal will 4 so À i Tod : e out not by the wise men, not by the re- \u20ac Put + = > es The rights of the Commons of England to grant supplies and to & drenched & + 20 \u201c©.t the call of an effete oligarch ouf ® @® + + Lords, already outlined in these columns.\u2019 a + x 4 % REMEN JUURED \u201d ann ip gE : ; : aww.Fast and Lumudous Twin Sorsw™ | i: \u201c145-158 WEST 47th STREET, Steamahipy 2 Just Off Broadivay:.Eu with Wireless and 8 rine 8!

and they are put beautifully in order from volume one to volume twenty.Personally, I am always rather suspicious of people who bave whôle sets It smacks so horribly of money, and somehow money and a teal love of books so.seldom go together.Why is it, I wonder.Is.there something in the bookish frame of mind which is not conducive to the accumulation of wealth?We must ask our Mr.Murray, who always knows everve thing about books.v When I look over my shelves at the l old favorites I am surprised to find them nearly all poetry.That is, I suppose, the result of being brought up on Homer, Tennys

feeble or puerile that it slides off your mind like water off a duck's back, or\u2014a more local simile\u2014anow off our house roofs, The morals that are affected by such works must be in a very bad

GLADSTONE E AT THE.DATE OF TMEIR MARRIAGE.Next week Britishers the world over will commemorate in some form, or other the birth of the great statesman, : William Ewart Gladstone, who was \u2018Born QR December 29, one hundred \u2018years ugo.It is worth recalling a few facts about his life in that connection., Mr Gladatone\u2019s life, spent almost \u2018from dawn to eve in strenuous labors, Fan through not only thie whole Vie- turian Era, but the whole of the preceding two reigns and a piece of another.Born in the year of the Bat- tie of Corunna, when George III, had to see the sixtieth year of Queen Victoria.\u2018His life covered the whole development of modern democracy, from the repression and corruption of the pre-Reform War.days to the secret and extensive suffrage of to-day.It ts à study in evolution\u201d and adaptation.of a char- \u2018acter and a constitution.In his gradual progress of thought and feeling, Mr.Gladstône was typical of England, and, above all, of England in the nineteenth century.But there was action and reaction.The rare English combination of democracy with purity, of the passion for progress with the reverence for the past, of hope with memory, and \u201ccotton with cultare\u201d\u2014 fhis is the stamp that Mr.Gladstone has given tô English LAbetalism.Mr.Gladstone was born in the \u201cwonderful year\u201d of 1809, when Tennyson.Mrs.Browning, and \u2018Charles Darwin also first saw the light.It was on December 29, almost on the threshold of another year, that little William Ewart came into the world at 62, Rodney street, in Seaforth, Liverpool.: .Gladstone\u2019s Origin.\u2019 Mr.Gladstone himself once described his origin with characteristic nicety sand precision.\u201cI am a man of Scotch .blood only, half Highland and half Lowland, near the Border.\u201d The Highland blood came through his mother, the daughter of Mr, Andrew Robertson, .of Stornoway, a former Provost of According to Burke and other industrious -antiquarians, she had the blood of Henry III.dnd Robert Bruce in her veins; but the Gladstones do not séem to have\u201d taken that story very seriously.She died early in Mr.Gladstone's career, and we hear little about her beyond the not very precise opinion of a riear friend that she was \"\u201ca lady of very great accomplish ments, of fascinating manners, of commanding presence and high intellect\u2014 Meart.\u201d But his father, the ILowland- er, had a far greater influence on his life, Mr.John Giadstone was & man of eminence in his own right, and well earned the baronetcy which Sir Robert Peel, perhaps not without a side- thought for his son, gave him in 1845.The name Gladstone is a corruption \"of the original Gladstone, from which family Mr.John Gladstone was des- tanded.The chief stock was settled ta the parish of Liherton In Clydesdale; but Gladstone's father came of a branch that had migrated to Lanarkshire and ome men of business.One of them, .Thomas Gladstone.became a corn mer- Chant in Leith, and was distinguished by having a family of sixteen children.Of these John was the eldest, and born in Leith in 1763.Entering his father's business the young man quickly rose \u2018in the world.Visiting Liverpool for his father, he \u2018was persuaded to stay \u201cthere as an assistant te Corrie and Co., \u2018rose by pluck and industry to be a partner in the firm, and finally.on the retirement of the partners, became the firm himself.The father had many (traits of the son\u2014the .indomitable en- \u2018ergy, the width of interests, and the bent towards politics.He found time to take part in all local affairs, was a devoted admirer and \u2018friend of Canning, and finally entered Parliament from 1819 to 1827.CANNING'S INFLUENCE, Thus the\u2019 young Gladstone was brought up in the midat of affairs, for it was in William Ewart\u2019's early youth that his father was turning from his absorption in business to the political romance of his life, his devotion to Canning.Canning was often John MR.GLADSTONE'S BIRTHPLACE, RODNEY STREET, LIVERPOOL.Gladstone\u2019s guest at Liverpool, and John Gladstone took the lead in inviting him to Liverpoo! and retaining him as the member.Cruel history relates that the eldest boy was Canning's chief favorite among the children: but the young lad who was to be afterwards four times Prime Minister of England must have often watched the brilliant adventurer who was rising to the foremost place in the Contervative partv with silent-\u2014perhaps, : indeed, even vocal\u2014adoration.Gladstone himself recorded that his earliest memory was that of seeing a vast crowd greet Canning on his election to Liverpool in 1812\u2014when he himself was three, andin frocks.In one of his greatest spéeches\u2014his reply to Disraeli's attack on the Reform Bill of 1866\u2014Mr.Gladstone named Canning ag the chief influence of his youth:\u2014 I was bred under the shadow of the {great name of Canning; every influence connected © with that name governed the politics of my childhood and of my youth; with Canning I rejoiced in the removal of religious disabilities, and in the character which he gave to our policy.abroad; with Canning I rejoiced in the opening which he made towards the establishment of free commercial interchanges between\u201d nations; with\u201d Canning, and under the shadow of the great name and under the shadow of the yet more venerable name {of Burke, I grant, my youthful mind: and imagination were impressed.: In development.and story\u2014all ex~ there \u2018is a.strange similarity between the two.It was not only the influence of Canning that was giving to the young Gladstone a Conservative basis.There was the bias of comfort and upbri ing.Mr.John Gladstone was not o onty rich, he was also hoth munificent and { wize.He refused to make his death.| half welcome hy clinging to the totality {of his riches until he had passed be- ,yond their.control, and.handsomely ÿ : | endowed all hig sons\u2014some say, to the: extent of £100,000 each\u2014quring his own.lifetime.: Of these sons there were fou who died at eighty-four;

by Mr.L.I.McMahon.: Mr.Ewing held it was important for all parts of the Empire to assist in strengthening the Empire.Great Bri- tals was dependent on foreign countries for supplies.It was necessary shat she should control the sea.Her \u2018navy must be kept at the two.power level ~~ The daughters of the Empire should show themselves ready to assist in lightening the mother's burden.+ The British taxpayer had an income .+taX to pay and was heavily bundened.Canada was a rich country and could .afford to help.The experienced ship-builders, he \u2018continued, were In England.It would be cheapest- to have the work done there.He thought the profession of the sea would not prove alluring to \u201cCanada, which he described as an inland country.A cash contribution would increase Canada's prestige und give her a place in the councils of the Empire.Centraltzation would be effected, ) Mr.Walsh, on the other hand.said Capada must some day have a navy and it would be unwisd to take a step which would be reversed ul some future time.He did not believe in contributing to a.Parliament where the \u2018contributors had no voice.He aid \u2018nat favor the idea of Imperial federation.Confederation was the work of Canadians, the British Government had been opposed to it.Confederation had raised the country \u2018to its present prosperity.Canada had made Great Bri- taln independent for supplies and the building of & navy would form a new industry.r.Duff stated that an Imperial navy, wus practically an established fact.Canada would be contributing \u2018to an Imperial rather than a British navy.It was important for Canada ;to keep on good terms with her best \u201ceustomer\u2014 Great Britain.T£ Canadu gave cash jt would relieve the unem- \u2018ployment.in Great

underwriters have called Government to Place Contracts for Two Dreadnoughts, Two Cruisers and Twe Composite Ships.Special to The Montreal Star.London, December 24.\u2014The New York Herald's naval corespondent writes: It is expected that within the next few days a further seriea of contracts for new vessels for the British navy will be given out.\u2018These contracts should include four new Dreadnoughts, two of which are to be battleships and twe cruisers, and possibly two new Dread- nought-cruisers, which are to be built in this country to the orders of the Australian Commonwealth and the Do- minlon of New Zealand.Tenders for building the firat four at the Admiralty in November, each firm submitting a price for the bulld- ing of the battleship and also.a price\u2019 for the building of a cruiser, the ves- all respects by the end of March, 1912.There is no doubt, either.that arrenge- ments have already been entered into for the provision of the important parts of the matertal, especially connected with the armament of these vessels, and it is anticipateä that if orders are placed before the end of December, the ships will be laid down in January.The fact that private yards in this country are ready to tender: for just double the number of ships that the Admiralty is prepared to lay down should surely be a sufficient reply to frequently repeated statements that \u2018Germany's, naval ship-building resources have been so greatly improved that they are now equal, if not superior, to those of this country.When these contracts have been placed there will be no less than ten Dreadnoughts or super.Dreadnoughts building in this country, as well as a number of smaller cruisers.In Germany \u2018there are at present only five Dreadnoughts or super- Dreadnoughts on thé stocks.\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 WOULD-BE MURDERER SHOT.Told Policeman to Prepare tg Die But Was Himself Kileld.Cordele, Ga.December 24.\u2014W.H.Tripp, a stock

J.C.Hutchins, of the D.U.R., caused much smothered commotion and many wondering whispers in the Detroit College audl- torium by telling the weekly lecture audience that it was Governor Pingree,

fare in Detroit were changed from six tickets for a quarter to a five-cent fare under the &d- vice of Governor Plngree.Nevertheless, the demand for thrée-cent fares which Mayor Pingree started is the pivot around which all of the agitation in this city Les revolved for nearly two decades.\u201cI would say to any man in public or\u2019 private life, \u2018Don\u2019t be a grafter.If you do, you will

Authority for Payment or Controller\u2019s Certificate, Declares \u201d Majority Judgment.Special to The Montreal Star.Ottawa, Ont, December 24.\u2014Tho Supreme Court at noon to-day proaounc- ed judgment in the case of Laren vs.Laplan' a et al, allowing the appeal with costs and regtoring the judgment of the Court of Review.The effect of the judgment is to disqualify the members of the civic finance committee of Montreal.The judgment is that of Justices Duff, Davies, Anglin and Idington.The two Quebec judges.Chief Justice Fitzpatrick and Mr.Justice Girouard dissent.The appeal was taken by Laren from the judgment of the King's Bench, .reversing thé judgment of the Court of Review, and restoring the original judgment of Justice Charbonneau.Laren asked that by quo wWarranto the Finance Committee be ousted - from their seats, disqualified for a term of years, and be made to repay $3,800 paid on the committee's.resolution to Mayor Payette and assistant City Clerk Beauset on account of expenses to the Champlain Tercentenary.It was alleged that there was no proper authority for the payment or certificate of the controller.The formal judgment of the majority was not available to-day.It was prepared by Mr.Justice Duff.The expectation in court circles here is that the case will go to the Privy Council Details of the Litigation The history of the case is an interesting one.At the time of the Tercentenary an invitation was récélved by | the City Council from France to attend festivities that were to take place in that coyntry celebrating the great event.~ After discussing the invitation, the City Council decided to instruct the Mayor to attend the function.He was to take with hin his secretary.At the time of the giving of the assent no definite amount was stated as to what sum should be spent.Some time_after the Mayor's return from the function a citizen con- had hot been observed whén the.Finance Committee had voted the expenses of the trip.For this reason it was asked that the members of the committee should be disqualified for a period\u201d of two years.A question also came up as to whether or not the secretary had the right to take his wife with high In reply to this criticism the secrète H sated that he had per.AY the expenses.of his wife, ter was fought thro Ki, \u2018after court-in the city till it reached.the Court of King\u2019s Bench, when a judgment was given that mer- ly technical errors had oc and that disqualification was not merited.It was also stated by one of the judges that even if the expenses of more than the mayor and the secretary had been paid, no great wrong could have: been committed, as the funotion was an important one and the mayor had the right to Incur expenses to uphold the dignity of his position whea attending \u2018thé festivities.From the - Court of King\u2019s Pench thé matter was taken to the Supreme\u201d Court.- (ING ALFONSO'S CONDITION.Declared 80 Grave That an Operas tion is Imperative

it is oply natural that it should be governed by special laws and the laws of the M.A.A.A.rink applying to it seem not only falr but generous.Instead of prohibiting, it entirely, It has been allowed certain hours, when these fast men, with their tong skates and short curves,.cnn fly about to their hearts\u2019 content.When the rink is given over to general.pleas- ure-ekating, the gentlemen of the long skates must keep off the ice, or change their skates and slow.down.Liberty, it is sald,- consists in doing what pne pleases so long as it does not interfers with some one else doing- likewise.A speed- skater flying through a company of gencral skaters is too much of an interference with the liberty and safety of others ta be.tolerated.- .: x The schedule of the Upper Ottawa \u201cValley Hockey League 100ks\u2019 good.and it WALL probably prove to be\u2019 good, for.the Upper Valley towns have a dash and \u201cthoroughness about them that many larger places cannot excel.The itinerary of league teams is commonly spoken of as a circuit, but that term ls not exactly appropriate in this case.Perhaps it would be more appropriate to call it + string, for the league towns lie along the main line of the C.P.R.like beads on a thread.The smartness and bustle of.these little.towns, surprise the visitor who had thought there was nothing up the valley beyond the Capital.The, rivalry of the: - towns is of the keenest, and when a hockey match comes off in one of them 1t takes possession of the public mind to a degree which city people can scarcely realize.} , What else.but a row could be expected from the introduction of outside baseball into Cuba, with the training of a century of revolutions and fillbustering behind Jt?The team that alleged unfair treatment and falled to put in an appearance went on board a ship.That showed prudence at any rate, for it is a bit more difficult to get at one on board ship than it woüld be on an athletic park or about a hotel.There was one loiterer in the striking team, and he was taken into custody and arralgned in court on a charge of breach of promise to play ball.There was no evidence, and the umpire called the prosecution out on a foul.There is something comforting about the news that the water polo season is at an end.With the mercury on the decline and the air filled with swirling snow, it gives one a chilly feeling to think of young .men in light attire besporting themselves in a tank of water.Perhaps this is due to an association of ideas.Water polo in winter may suggest the morning dip and that creepy feeling that requires more than a radiator to overcome.Tg think of such a sport would Le refreshing in July, but in December, it is quite another matter, AR .: ONLOOKER.Bills, BEd hdd hd CANADIAN RUGBY UNION MEETS IN _ MONTREAL.: nue », =\" ok The annual mesting of the: Ganastan Rugby Union will be .Montreal this year, in the sedorid week in January.Rules iii an ail Begone over and some new ones mada., ofs effects ofeode $F dA EEE RR EE EE Ed Pode kk bd Rdg n oe + + Griffith Trades a Player.Cincinnati, Runners Were Suspended.!

who has brought forward Australia @s the possible venue cf future world's ; ehamplonship contests ; France would |\" have as its first representative on ihe board some gentleman who has the confi- .~dence of the boxing community in Pacls, Such as the president of the Societe ca .tion de la Boxe Anglaise.\u201cJt is when we come to the United fitates of America that we find a real difficulty.Where shall we find representatives for the States?Do the press, the promoters or the pugilists control \u2018the game\u2019 there?We have a proposal, and we shall await the criticisms of the lead- tng American sporting editors, promoters and professionals with great interest.for Dy these criticisms the source from which the U.S.A.representatives are to come must be decided.Our proposal Is: \u201cThat the sporting editors of morninz NRewspapers in New York, Chicago, Phil- .8delphia, San Francisco, Boston and Los eles be asked to select one represen- tatlve to sit on the international board; Promoters to Have a Volce.\u201cThat the recognized promoters of the world's championship contests in the United States be asked to nominate one pepresentative to sit on the international garding the framing of rules for the conduct of championships of the world, little need Le said.Such a set of ryles is'a necessity, and when the board have fixed the number of rounds in which a championship of the world is to be de- we shall not be tormented by .ne man demanding 16 rounds and the other 45 rounds or more.\u201cThe fixing of weights for the world's | champlonships should also be a comparatively simple matter, The necessity or these recognized weights is not questinn- ed.In America champions defend thair Yes aithour d Éonsequentiy for a number of years, \u2018it may , they are not oblige to \"hox until their music hall engidgements fail.\u2019 \u2018When some time ago we ralsed the ques- \u2018ton of international weights, and incl- dentally \u201cinternational control.an opportunity presented itself of standardizing the world\u2019s weights, and in the American newspapers we had ample proof of a de- \"sire to meet England in the matter.The National Sporting Club, however, passed and published their new weights without \u2018consulting the Americans interested 3 boxing, and so the opportunity passed.! \u201cWhen we come to the question, \u2018Who are the world's champlons?we at mck find some work for an international board.At the present time there is no recognised middleweight champion of the world,\u2018 no welterweight champion.no featherweight champion, and (if Bowker : ofn no longer do the weight) no bantamweight champion, all because of the eternal\u2014or shall we say infernal\u2014weigit question, while we are being treated to the edifying spectacle of a lightweight champion who Is too busy to attend to «hal- lengers!
