- Que.ÏWEE0 Extra Trousers GOOD RECORD OF PROVINCIAL GOVERNMENT.In view of the unmistakable a*-wuranctMof popular approval which the Provincial Government has already received it seems unnecessary, for immediate practical purposes, to recall the splendid work of the last three years.It is, however, always desirable that the public should be kept fully and clearly informed a* to the manner in which the men whom it has honored with its confidence have discharged their trust, and this is the more important in respect of p**o-incial politics that that field oners less attractive range of subjects for discussion than is provided in the Federal sphere.As long as no glaring acts of maladministration are revealed, and no burdensome taxes are imposed, the public is not inclined to turn of its own accord to the study of provincial questions : but this apathy may lead to untoward results.A patriotic Minister may become discouraged at lack of appreciation of his efforts, while one corruptly disposed may rely upon the indifference of the electors to evade the consequences of his wrong-doing.It may not, therefore, be unprofitable to consider what has been done during the past three years by the men who, with the late Mr.Marchand at their head, undertook the task of restoring the dilapidated finances of Quebec, without neglecting the needs of the Province in respect of educational, agricultural and industrial develojmient.The story of Mr.Marchands financial exploits has been told and retold and it is not now intended to repeat the de ails of the operations by which a deficit of nearly a million dollars was in one year cut down to less than two hundred thousand, and by which in the following year Mr.Marchand was actually able to show a surplus in the finances, a feat which was repeated in the third year, which closed on the 30th of J une last.This was the greatest achievement of the administration—to restore financial equilibrium without creating new sources of revenue by means of taxation, and without some of the sources of revenue from which the preceding Government had drawn the means of reducing but not extinguishing the heavy balance which it was obliged to show annually on the wrong side of its led-£er- The chief object to which the efforts of the Provincial Liberal party have been directed during the past three years, after the restoration of the finances, has been the accomplishment of needed reforms in our educational system.A bill was introduced and passed in the Legislative Assembly for the appointment of a Minister of Education, but it received its quietus at the hands of the Legislative Council, in which body the Conservatives had a majority.A good deal of discontent prevailed in the Liberal ranks at the fact that the wishes of the overwhelming majority of the popular branch of the Legislature could be made ineffc c-tive by the action of a small majority in the irresponsible Upper House.The next session a new bill was introduced providing for a number of reforms but leaving the question of a Minister of Edu cation in abeyance.The Government has done much in the last three years to promote agricultural development.One of the most crying needs of this Province is good roads, and to this matter the Hon.Mr.Dechene has given particular attention.Municipalities are encouraged to avail themselves of the Government aid in procuring road-making machines and legislation has been enacted favorable to the progress of the ‘‘good roads” movement.The results have been most encouraging, and no doubt the policy will be persevered in.While anxious for the progress of agriculture, the Gov ernment has had the courage to resist the pressure exerted through the farming community by interested parties to induce it to commit the Province to the support of specious, but unsound, schemes, for increasing the prosperity of the agricultural classes.illT Genuine Admiration IT IS QUITE NATURAL that people should be proud of holding one of our policies.It Is an in-.dioatiouof s >und*jadginent and fore- ' ' V thought.You put la the necessary cash and you realize on it when the need is greatest.A business necessity— A prudent protection.DRESSER & CO.W S.Drksskr.McCarthy Block.J.W.McKk.Markbt Bquakb.constitute the best investment a c ireful dresser can make for his wardrobe.We are showing a line of Trourserings in the best and most popular goods from $3 50 up.Won’t you look at them ?GEO.EADIE & SON, HIGH CLASS TAILORS, ea Wellington Street, SHERBROOKE Carriage Factory !

Sherbrooke, was liand-ed in on Monday night at the Council meeting, has for the long period of about thirty-two years well and faithfully served the city.He lias witnessed the growth of the city from its very'infancy, and was in 1852 appointed secretary-treasiirer at the time of the first organization of town incorDurations in that year, and was therefore Sherbrooke's first secretary-treasurer.In 3854 he resigned from that office and spent five years in in the Western States.^ Returning to Sherbrooke in 1859 he entered into partnership with the the late W.L.Felton, forming the law firm of Felton A Griffith.In 1871, when the late Andrew Smith died, he was re-apnointud secretary-treasurer of the town of Sherbrooke, and on the incorjxjra-tion of Sherbrooke as a city in 1879 he was re-appointed secretary-treasurer of the city of Sherbrooke, which office he has held down to the present time tot/he satisfaction of the community and citizens.His obliging and cheery disposition made him very popular in the city offices, and the citizens generally will regret to learn ti at failing health compels him to withdraw from public liie.st Francis District sociation.As ANNUAL MEETING HELD

town, $6.THE RESULT ON FRIDAY.The result of the hard work of the past two weeks, put in by both political parties of Sherbrooke County, is being looked forward to with considerable interest.The fact that so many seats has gone by acclamation lias had the effect of swinging many to the side ot the Government, and it looks as it the Liberal candidate will be returned for Sherbrooke County* Dr.Pelletier is a man that is highly respected by all classes of the electors, and this will tell very much in his favor.He would repiesent the county in an able manner, and the interests of the electors would be in good hands- Being on the side of the Government he could put before them any application with much more freedom than a member of the op|K>sition.>V t believe that the electors of Sherbrooke County will not condemn a Government, that has a record such as no previous government has ever attained, by returning a Con servative member.From the re-l>orts subniited from the various polling divisions in the county the only deduction that can be placed is that the Conservative stronghold has at last given way to the repeated and persistent attacks of tlie Liberals.v H.HENKKKK S PORTRAIT PRESENTED TO UNIVERSITY.Yesterday afternoon a special meeting of Convocation of Bishop's College, Lennox ville, was held in Bishop Williams’ Hall for the pur-|Kise of presenting the retiring Chancellor’s |x>rtrait to the l ni-versity authorities, the conferring of the degree of D.C.L.on Principal Whitney, and the installing of the new Chancellor, Dr.John Hamilton, Quebec, who was appointed at a special meeting of Convocation held during the day.The attendance at the proceedings at five o’clock was very large.Chancellor Dr.Heneker presided, and there were on the platform : Bishop Dunn, of Quebec ; Rev.Rural Dean Scarth, D.C.L.; Rev.Dr.Allnatt, Rev.Dr.Dumbell, Rev.Principal Whitney, Ven.Archdeacon Roe, Very.Rev.Dean Williams, Dr.John Hamilton, Rev.Dr.Parrock, Rev.Prof.Wilkinson, Rev K.A.W.King, M.A- ; Rev.A.H.Moore, M.A.; Rev.G.H.A.Murray, Mr.F.W.Frith, Registrar ; Mr.G.O.Smith, B.A.; Rev.Jas.Hepburn.M.A.; Mr.H.G.H.Pet-, ry, M.A., Headmaster ; Mr.Bayett, M.A._ Chancellor Heneker said : in opening this, my last Convocation, I desire to offer a very few remark, not wishing to detain you, tor this lias been already a busy day, and there remains much work to be done.My resignation as Chancellor last summer, though ’t did not take effect at once on being presented to the members of the l niversity, but was postponed in order tliat a Aiew Chancellor might be appointed.1 received at the time many kind words from the distinguished men who were present when 1 expressed my desire to be relieved From the care .pf office, and 1 telt almost overwhelmed by the eulogies passed on my work during the 22 years of my services.I do not wish for any renewal of these kind words* .though I a?n still almost overpowered by so Di-any tokens ol good-will on the part of those who were present on the occasion.My firtft duty to-day will be to confer the degree of D.C.L-.» Honoris Causa, on the new Principal ot the College, who was so lately installed by a solemn service in the College Chapel, and who has already given proof of his success in the friture, by his administration since the term opened.On all sides, and from al/ hands, professors and students of the College, as well as from the school staff and the school boys, the testimony is strongly in his favor.This assuredly is a matter of congratulation, and I am sure all present will join with me in heartfelt wishes that his career in this country may be such as to cause him never to regret the step he has taken, and that the people of the country, who seek a high class training for the intellectual walks of life, may recognize in him a scholar and a gentleman, not only tit to teach others, but most willing to devote his talents to the welfare of the Canadian public.—(applause)., , ., The name of Canada stands high at the present time in the civilized world, through the bravery and patriotism of tier sons, our fellow’ citizens, but the future nation has still much to learn, and its success cannot be secured without definite instruction for the higher position of life, (the Legislature, the Professions, and above all the Church) all of Which may reasonably be expected to be afforded by such men as the new Principal, and the accomplished staff by which he is aided ami surrounded.—(applause).t then m-on ________gree of the uoctor oi Civil Law was conferred.Principal Whitney returned thanks for the honor conferred upon him.He paid a high tribute to the work done for the University by Dr.Heneker, and said that he would ever strive to place both the School and University m the front rank of educational institu- tu ns.Bishop Dunn of Quebec then presented the portrait of Dr.Heneker, the retiring Chancellor, to the University.He referred in glowing terms to the high esteem in which Dr.Heneker was held and the good work w hich he had done for Bishop’s College University.He was glad to know that although Dr.Heneker was retiring from the Chancellor’s chair that he would still retain his interest in the University.In concluding, he said, addressing Dr.Heneker, “ I desire to now present this portrait of yourself to be hung in the Council Chamber as a memorial of your great work among us”—(applause).aided and surrounded.—(applause) Vice-Principal Allnatt then m troduced Principal Whitney, or whom degree ot the Doctor of Civi.reply, assured the the

worthy of such high honour.Dr.John Hamilton is known to all of you, through his past and present interest in the welfare of the institution.The name of Hamilton will ever remain an honoured name with

he accepted the important position of Chancellor he looked to tbefriends of the University for assistance.The Convocation then closed.Lord Roberts' Reward.RUMOUR THAT HE WILL BE GRANTED A DUKEDOM AND GRANT OF £100,000.London, December 3 — Popular curiosity is aroused as to the marks of national gratitude which will be conferred on Lord Roberts for his -services in South Africa, It is rumored that he may even receive the honor of a Dukedom, and that Parliament will be asked to vote him the sum of £100,000.The vet-man Field Marshal is expected to arrive Home in a few weeks’ time, and the matter of a grant will probably come before the House when it meets in February.No farther news has been received with regard co the situation in South Africa, but it is believed that an organized attempt to coiner Dewet is proceeding.Little need be said of the way in which industries have thriven un der the present regime.A town has arisen in the forest, and capital is coming in from all quarters to develop our great natural manufacturing facilities ami utilize our abundant raw material.To relate Mr.Parent's services in protecting the Province’s resources ami in providing for an adequate return for all concessions granted, deserves an article to itself, and the subject will be dealt with later.Meantime, enough has been said to make it clear that the Province has every reason to be satisfied with its present administrators.CALLED “CHAMPION STUFF.” Ottawa, December 3—A report received at the Department of Agriculture at Ottawa, from the Denar t men t’s agent in Liverpool ami Manchester)
