the high rates of interest from which the great earnings of insurance companies in the past were derived have vanished.Money is cheap now-a-day and gilt edge investments are bringing but a limited rate of interest.This is the case from one end of the Dominion to the other.Therefore when you insure do so in the Company whose promises can, to your mind, be fulfilled.REMEMBER^s^ “The Sun” is the strongest, most Prosperous and most Progressive of the great financial Corporations of the Dominion.CHAS.C.KNIGHT, Manager for Sherbrooke.6;

ordered to embark for India during the months of September and October is much commented upon in military circles.Under ordinary circumstances the four batteries now in India would have been relieved this month.But they have been ordered to remain, and therefore there will shortly be on the frontier fourteen batteries of artillery, a full complement for an army corps.As the British force now assembled on the frontier is of ample strength to wipe out all visible resistance, the only conclusion that can be reached in regard to this despatch of reinforcements of artillery is that the authorities are possessed of information of a serious character.The intimation conveyed by the war office on Monday last to the London commercial agent of the Ameer of Afghanistan, that no war materials or machinery for the manufacture thereof will be allowed to cross the frontier during the present crisis, indicates that the British Government has by no means entire confidence in the Ameer’s fidelity, and it is hinted the Government has learned that while professing friendliness to Great Britain, the Ameer has been secretly preparing for war.Well informed circles are also discussing the story of secret correspondence between Russia and Afghanistan, which is said to have fallen into the hands of the British officials, and it is further intimated that a widespread plot, embracing the Beluchis and others has been discovered.Bombay, Sept.19.-—The advices from the front show that the various columns are advancing against the Mahmoukis from Paujkora and Shabkadr.As yet they have met with no serious opposition, but the difficulties of transportation in a mountainous and almost pathless country are immense.Another formidable obstacle in the way of rapid movement is the lack of water.The brigade of General Jeffreys has not joined in the advance.Yesterday it left camp at Anayat with sixteen companies of infantry and four guns in order to re-attack the enemy at the Village of Damodata.The enemy made a desperate resistance, but were driven out into the hills.The British demolished their towers and captured 400 mule loads of supplies.As soon as the troops began to retire from the village the enemy reappeared in force.The retirement however, was, effected with great precision, the native troops behaving splendidly.Two Sikhs were killed and six wounded.It is now known that the enemy’s loss during the fight on Thursday last between the Momuds and the second brigade of Gen.Sir Bindon Blood in the valley north of Anayat was very heavy.The tribes engaged did not press the brigade during the retirement, but fresh tribesmen appeared.Captain Ryders company of Sikhs virtually owed their lives to an Afridi sergeant of the Guides’ corps, who, when the Sikhs had exhausted their amu-nition, and were desperately cutting their way back through the enemy, dashed up the hill under a heavy fire with a supply of cartridges.He arrived just in the nick of time, as the swordsmen of the enemy were already among the Sikhs, who were absolutely unable, after the heavy climb and the hard fighting, to continue a successful struggle, Lieut.Watson was thrice wounded while gallantly leading a handful of Buffs, who routed a large body of the enemy that was trying to storm the village in which Gen Jeffreys, with guns, had taken up a position after missing his main body in the gloom on Thursday night.It appears that the enemy lost 180 men before they captured the Sarnagai police post.They burned alive two Sikh cooks, whom they captured while out looking for firewood.The Queen has sent the follow ing despatch with reference to the reverse near Camp Anayat : am deeply grieved at the loss of so many brave officers and men I earnestly desire to be informed as to the condition of all the wounded.The conduct of the troops was most admirable.” Peshawur, Sept.19—The lower Mohmends, south of hesc.have submitted, and have agreed to pay a heavy fine and to surrender their arms.The reverse suffered by the British force under General Jeffreys, in the attack on the Mohmands in the valley north of Camp Anayat to punish them for the attack made on Tuesday night upon the troops of General Jeffreys at the foot of Pawat Pass, is regard ed most seriously, and it is stated in semi-official circles that if the situation does not improve the whole border will be in arms.The latest development in the use of waste is a scheme to produce hot water at a half penny per gallon from the waste heat of the street gas lamps.A machine for this purpose has been exhibited, and appears to work effectively.The various parish authorities of the poorer districts of London are considering its introduction into the streets.It is already successfully operated in some ol the provincial cities.Lord Rosebury is preparing to re-enter public life.He has commenced making speeches, and has a round of autumn engagements.His Lordship visited Mr.Gladstone at Butterstone on Friday, with the view, it is suggested, of getting the grand old man to start with him on the right road to secure the support of all factions of the party.Principal Grant on Relation with United Canada’s States.Gold Hunters in Lake Superior Region.Lar^e numbt-ra of speculators are con-gregaHng at Wawa City in the hunt tor gold.They have arrived from almost every portion of the country, but at present there are not over 200 iu the field.Ever nince the reports went out several weeks ago that gold had bee t ihtained in paying quantities around Wawa Lake, the gold fever has naturally been at its greatest height in the two 800s, San It Ste.Marie, Mich., and Saolt Ste.Marie, Ont.As a result of this business men from these two cities and from neighboring towns have se cured the best claims.It is a well-known fact in the history >f mines that more money is sunk than is ever taken from the earth.This field is no exception to the rule.Many have arrived here to return home disappointed.Others have come back owners of what they believe to be paying claims.Application for all the land within ten m les of here*has already been fy ed with the Department of Crown Lands of Toronto.The result is yet to be seen.Not many can come up here and secure a fortune in a day, a week, or a month.It is all quartz mining, and will require cap tai and improved machinery to develop it There is no doubt ih't the yellow metal exists in the Michipicoten region.Whether it can be secured in paying quantities is yet to 1 e seen.Some of the prospectors who went out there came back inside of a week or ten days with glowing talk about their “finds,” but in every instance it was simply talk and will re suit in nothing.The minister contains an interview with Principal Grant, in which he deals with our relations with the United States :—“Each of ns has work enough to do without being troubled over the short comings of the other.If we keep our own streets and skirts clean we do well.One thing is very clear to me.The majority of the English speaking race must find its home within the boundaries of the great republic, anil it would therefore be madness for us not to do everything in our power to cultivate friendship with them and to allay irritation and acrimony.I am sorry to find a tone of irritation towaids the Americans growing up in the minds of Canadians generally, such as never ex isted before.Of course it may he said that -there are causes for this.But whenM^eople has done the great things that .»w«iy have done, at such enormous sacrifices of blood and treasure, we who have as yet done comparatively little, and who to this day are wholly depend ent 4K the mother country for protec tion whenever we trade or travel or preach abroad, are not warranted in sneering at them.They deserve, rather, our administration and our sym pathy.When we share Imperial re sponsibility we shall he less likely to say or do anything to provoke quarrels The strong man is usually calm, where as poor, weak creatures, unless greatly sustained by divine grace, are apt to be fussy and provoking.It is the same wtthfnewspapers as with men.A little cur snarls and harks ten times as muc as a Newfoundland or a St.Bernard.” Godey s For October.Qodey't Mayazine for October is one of the strongest and brightest number of the year.Its frontispiece is a sup erb art conception of the head of “Lu oifer,” drawn by H.W Phillips.This art « ontnbution is accompanied by at approciate selection from the’ Paradise Lost.” Following this is the first instal ruent of ‘ Four Months in Paradise,” by John R.Muaick, who, under this cap tion, writes of the Hawaiian Island am their people.“The Coming l) amatie Season,” by Beaumont Fletcher, wh< ferecasts the winter’s drama, is os pec i ally timely .Helen M.North tells the story of “the Abbey of Valle Crucis,’ one of the loveliest ruins in Kuglaiu charmingly ; and Thomas M.Prentice writers of “Old Nantucket” in a vein that cannot fail to interest.These are two strong travel features of the issue.One of the most unique and pleasing articles is Nancy M.\N addle’s “Day With the Marsh Princess,” which tells of the singular ways of plants that cat animals.This article is specially illustrated with sketches from nature.A brilliantly illustrated contribution, “^ome Virginia Beauties,” with many beautiful portraits, adds piquancy to the con tents ; and with this is an article on the “Evolution of Woman in the S nth,” that will interest ami instruct the reader.Music is critically covered by Ru-perl Hughes, who treats of the orchestra work of several American composers; and the book review is upon “The Southerners of Opie Read.” The fiction of this issue is crisp and strong, and comprises four different ta es, ni t two of them of like character.Two choice hits of verse, some pertinent chat by the editor, and the now popular “Scrap Brok” add variety ami character to the magazine ; ami the fashions are, as usual, fresh ami p action .The illustrations < f this number are unusually fine and plentiful.Hon Theodore Roosevelt h is written an article for the October ('enhmj on “The Roll of Honor of the New York Police,” telling of the efforts made by the police commissioners during his term to give promotion, when possible, as a systematic recognition of gallantry.This is one of a series of articles iu the Century on “Heroes of Peace,” and it will be followed during the coming year by papers on “Heroism in the Fire Department,” by JaOoh A.Rtss ; “Heroism in the Life saving Service,” by Gustav Koblie, and “Heroes of the Deep,” by Herbert vVard and Mrs.Elizabeth Stuart Phelps Ward.Large Mill Burned at Three Rivers.On Friday morning fire broke out in the St.Maurice Lumber Cos sawmill at Three Rivers, owned by the Glens

serious reverse.The Sikh regiment, supported by four guns, a mountain battery and six companies of British infantry was ordered to attack the tribesmen in the hills in which they had taken refuge after their defeats on Thursday.The British force had a momentary success, but was compelled finally to retreat before superior numbers.The tribesmen surrounded a portion of the Sikh regiment, and the day would have gone badly with them, had not the cavalry charge been made, which temporarily relieved them.Soon thereafter all the British force had to retire.It was dark before the British reached their camp.Jeffreys with his escort, and a company of guides became separated from the column which passed them in the darkness.Jeffreys took refuge in a village, which it was soon discovered was held mostly by Moh-mands.The tribesmen attacked the British repeatedly until relieved by a force that was sent to their succor.It is impossible to give a complete list of the British casualties, but it is known that thirty-eight men were killed and a hundred wounded.Among the wounded is Jeffery s.Reports were received here that the Mohmands, who attacked the camp at Rawat Pass on the night of September 14, were pursued by the cavalry squadron which overtook and killed twenty-one of the tribesmen without suffering the loss of a man.Lieut.Watson, Lieut.Gunning and Lieut.Winter were severely wounded, and General Jeffreys, Lieut.Cassels and Captain Birch slightly wounded.The Buffs lost one killed and forty-two wounded, the Guides, two killed and ten wounded; the gunners, seven killed and twenty-two wounded, and the sappers, three killed and sixteen wounded.Two Bengal lancers were wounded.Many horses and mules were killed Dr.Weir Mitchell, whose novel “Hugh Wynne,” proved to bo one of the most

were many, not long ago, w ho began seriously to question whether government by party, in Canada, would ever revert from the downward tendency toward Americanism, and approach its idealization as grandly exemplified in Great Britain ; and multitudes viewed w ith alarm, if not despair, the repeated successes of the gigantic bribery organization w hich then stilled the free w ill of the people and debauched the electorate with open practices.Rich succeeding election campaign increased the hold of this bribery upon the country, and caused it to flourish and grow stronger with continued triumphs.To-day men breathe easier, and the load of doubt and misgivings as to the efficacy of our political institutions and the cherished traditions of government by party, have been removed from all minds by the knowledge that those principles will be acted upon and lived up to by the present dominant party.“Party,” once wrote a celebrated British statesman, is a body of men united for promoting, by their joint endeavors, the national interest upon some principles, upon which they are all agreed.” The great principle upon which the Liberal party is founder!, and in which all Liberals agree, is the principle so often enunciated—government of the people, by the people and for the people.Party, as applied to Toryism in Canada during the past twenty years and as it exists to-day, is a misnomer a fine name for faction, of which the bonds that unite it are selfishness and corruption, and which worked to the country’s degradation and ended in disaster.We see this faction in the throes of an internecine struggle, yet all the while presenting a front against the people’s party, united still by the same bonds, to conserve its narrow aims.The Tory principal of government by party, to judge from the motives which seemed to have actuated that party, during the long rule of the late regime, was, and still is,—government of the party, by the ring, and for pelf.As contradis tinguished from the other, how* marked in democratic nobility and unselfish patriotism is the Liberal guiding prin iple.The Tory faction, as its past history clearly demonstrates, is solely knit together by the common desire of political power and pelf ; beyond this its cohesion is but a mockery and a sham.While Sir John Macdonald lived and ruled, there was a certain amount of unison among hD party, because he was shrewd enough to choose a class of men w hich usually embraced all the elements for this binding together.To him is attributed the saying that the best cabinet would be one consisting of twelve médiocrités, each of whom you could, if you would, put in the penitentiary.Look then on the picture of such a ministry as thus painted and for its tnigiual let .yuur thoughts go back a few years and rest uporf Xfïatr in Canada’s political history, revealing, as it does, so many of the abominations of Tory misrule, which disgraced Canada in tho eyes of the world.Fortunate it is, probably, that tho half was never told.Even as it was the rescue came almost too late.The machine had been worked unsparingly to its fullest capacity, an 1 by bands familiar to the task.Liberals fought a valiant fight but repeatedly in va n.Wrong triumphed.Direct bribery W"ii.Government candidates, with the boldest effrontery, held out promis s of jobs by the wholesale, and constituencies w'ere debauched without fear or reck as t > the consequences.The domination of knavery, intrigue and ‘corruption held supreme sway.Conviction of public theft almost ceased to be a political disqualification.A member branded with it by a resolution of the House, returns to his constituents, avows his act, pleads that he is no worse than his colleagues and is re-elected.A member of the Cabinet, about whose guilt there could be no reasonable doubt, received not only a white-washing, but an ovation.And so on through the long recital until one turns from tho retrospection of that ugly past with disgust and loathing to the contemplation of the fairer present which is but the reflection from a brighter future.The scene is changed, and how reassuring the present vista.From a colony, by whose mismanagement the Tory party had made a bye-word and a reproach among its contemporaries, and which, by reason of its enterprise, vastness and boundless resources, should long ago have occupied its high status in national life, and have Been marked with the progressive character that a democratic form of government by party should exhibit, Canada has at length emerged from the obscurity into which Tory policy had so long held her, and has arisen to her proper sphere in the foreground of the nations of the earth.As soon as the shackles of misrule and political immorality, which so long fettered every movement in the expansion of trade and industrial development, enchained every national aspiration and enslaved the electorate had been loosed by Liberal hands, Canada sprung into national being and entered the highway {which makes for unity and the security of the people as government by party is designed to effect.It is no light task to undertake in grappling with the financial blunders and embarassments entailed upon the country by the reckless policy of the previous administration, yet tho present government have entered u|>on the work of bringing, out of chaos, and restoring financial equilibrium, with an intelligence and vim that have accomplished marvellous results.Thus through the successful efforts of Liberal administrators, confidence w ill be restored in the fundamental principle of government by party.In order to mike government by ptrty, which, it is agreed in this country as in Great Britain, is tho only jjossiblo form of gjvemmeot for a country in which the people rule, work well, there must Ik; a strong government and an equally strong opposition in mental calibre not members »-f course.The country has more confidence in the action of parliament, when it knows that whatever the ministry of the day may under take, it will be subjected to intelligent and searching criticism.An opposition that would challenge the confidence of the country, is always desirable if not indispensable to the successful working of our parliamentary institution.Can such a qualification Ik» found in the present opposition in the House ; and, if so, upon what grounds is the affirmative to Ik» based?I here is no past for them D» qualify upon, and it is only by building to the future that such an opposition may arise.Under our system of government an opposition, let its opinions be what they may, has a solemn duty to discharge in the pub ic interest ; and the more the respect of the people is commanded by the course the opposition pursues, the butter for all.But when all its statements are 8 • mine red down to merely^* perpetual exhibition of incot sistencies, fault-findings and impotent ill-humors, expend! g all its energies in Fo-terian diatribe and Davinsque wind on the floors of p rliament, it ceases to be of public utility and fails to command either public support or respect.The Liber-tl Government have been 111 power but little over one short year, yet have during that short space of time with singular en rgy and courage, accomplished much to command the admiration n in ten years appear in the October number

dollars.A Village Conversation.“Say, didye hear that George's wife is suin' fer divorce ?” 4‘Yes ; but it’s going to be settled out of court.” Settled how ?” “Oh, he's goin’ to buy her a wheel.” The

situated in various parts of t he Province of Quebec in annual session assembled, we could not allow this opportunity to pass without placing on record our unbounded appreciation of the Christian character of Quot-n Victoria, our beloved ruler, who has so beneficially reigned over us for sixty years.“We join prayeis with the millions, who have expressed their fealty to the honored Queen of

Tunnel to Cost Forty-Three Million Dollars.The project has been revived of the construction of a tunnel between Scotland and Ireland.The idea, once regarded as visionary, is now admittedly practicable as an engineering feat, but few people believe there is the slightest prospect of making it a commercial success.Successive Governments have been asked to undertake the work as a national enterprise, irrespecrive of paltry pecuniary considerations, but have invariably thrown cold water upon the enthusiasts.The latest estimates put the length of the tunnel at twenty-five miles, the period of construction at ten or twelve years, and the cost at $43,000,000, These figure ^ are largely fanciful, for nothing can be said until the preliminary borings and soundings have been made, and even then if those operations promised success, it w°uld be necessary to spend $1,000,000 more to sink a shaft and drive a heading in order to make the test complete, nfft/ W.R.BRADLEY, UNDERTAKER, Has greatly
