they are alarmed at the state of the finances, which no ingenuity of the Treasurer can remedy, and which has reduced his policy to the degradation of paying one debt by incurring another.Then the Q.M.0.& 0.Railway, which has loaded the Province with an enormous debt, has so far contributed nothing in liquidation, beyond furnishing fat offices for political friends and agents.There is a strong undercurrent of hostile feeling existing with the present management of public affairs, and a dread of direct taxation, owing to the vicious system which has gradually piled up a crushing Provincial debt, which the Premier and his colleagues cannot afford to ignore and which they must be prepared to satisfy by some policy better than that which has impoverished the country, and created and fed this dissatisfaction.Will the Liberals coalesce with the Tories under these circumstances ; will the Liberal party consent to a partnership with men who have so muddled the best interests of the people ; who even during the last session, fellback on fossilized legislation and extended the Parliamentary session to five years, thus depriving the electors of an oppoitunity to demand an account of their stewardship from their representatives at shorter i eriods\u2014a right they had long enjoyed but of which they have been summarily deprived.Assuredly the Liberal would be insane who would join his political fortunes to those of men who have year after year, against warning, against remonstrance and reproof, gone on obstinately and doggedly to create the very difficulties which now environ them.The Liberals cautioned them and protested m the House and outside against the errors they were bent on perpetrating.But the narrow illit-erality and the party fanaticism of the ministry scouted advice and remonstrance, and obstinately pursued a policy which began and ended in selfishness\u2014in the exclusion of the Liberals from office and the reten-0 j tion of power, patronage and emolu-\" ment in their own ham The Atlantic and North-Western Railway.«va\tTXTX4.X-\u2019 OXjTTTA.ZFt.a.o ms js At the Harkness Trotting Park, James, connot be sustained.1 he | attempt to evade this charge by an | idle jest, that °nl} il 'e1}\tThe meeting of this Cornfany, as ad-p the American postal bags were used vertisrd washel(1 at tbe Windsor Hotel, | ON TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 6tll Si 7th 1SS1.in Canada, and those through mad- when the merits of the project were ful-vertenco is no justification of the ;

Columbian Express Co., $20,000 ; three hotels, $60,000 ; Court House and gaol, $12,000 ; Guy Tuttle, $25,000; Gilmore à Clark, $20,000 ; Beer k Marsel), $22,000.There are about one hundred sufferers.The tire originated in the Caledonia Hotel in t'oiitrolline t'uiitnsioii» I>i»ei»»e» til Animal» by Ynecinntiou.The lierai l seems to think that Mr.Gladstone has backed down because lie did not go on and smash the House of Lords.It was to be expected that both Tory and Hibernian haters of Gladstone would jump at the concessions made in order to clinch his great legislative feat as a surrender and try to dash his triumph with a strain of defeat.But this party outcry will soon pass, is already ashamed af itself in fact, while the Land Bill remains.and will stand the enduring monument in history of Mr.Gladstones political wisdom and service to his country.A Land Bill was what he was aimfhg at, not a political triumph.Unlike his great rival.Lord Beaconsfield, and unlike most of our American politicians, Mr.Gladstone treats a party warfare as a means and not an end.and he is a great enough man to dare every now and then what would horrify mere party politicians as the rankest indiscretion.His surrender of the Transvaal \u201c before British valor had wiped out the stain in Mood, etc., was a memorable instance of his sinking mere popular politics in the greater purpose.His treatment of the House of Lords when he might have let the rising whirlwind of Radicalism ^row till it swept that obstruction out of existence is only another exeinplifica-of the same grand breadth and calm of mind.The London correspondent of the New l ork World, by no mean's a partizan of Gladstone\u2019s, cabled yesterday, \u2018\u2022Thi Lord\u2019s amendments which the Government concurred in yesterday were not very important ones, but the Lords seized the opportunity to declare that, while protesting against the anti-landlord\tprinciple of\tthe hill, they were satisfied with the concessions made by the House of Commons.\u201d The Parnellites and their sympathizers are making the greatest outcry because the amendment of Parnell (which Mr.Gladstone accepted probably out of compliment to that leader), shutting off nending evictions, is cut out.But as Ireland will be under the new law by Saturday next, it was of comparative 1 little irnpartance.Tim If\u2019or/V editorially points out that Mr.Gladstone [who is a (.Conservative by nature and a Liberal only by conviction] never intended to gratify the Radicals with a crusade j against the House of Lords.\u201cIf Mr.Gladstone has been the reckless demaguogue lie is thought by many ; even of the Liberals who follow him, to i he, he would scaanely have exerted 1 Irtinself as he has now done to prevent ! the House taking np the glove thrown Î by Lord Salisbury in tlie spirit in which j it was thrown.He had never shown I statemansbip more clearly than in his | willingness to endure tlie imputation of being cowed by tlie Tory peers rather than permit the Irish Load Bill to be trampled under foot and out of recogni- I tion in the rush to battle of the revolutionary Uadicals witli the defiant Conservatives.Mr.Gladstone is big enough man to 1 save the House of Lords in spite of it- : seif, as he has tried to help tlie Irish in spite of themselves.\u2014 Boston Transcript.An Albany doctor has expressed himself strongly agaist the practice ot sleeping in a room with a coal-oil lamp burning in it, the light being partly turned down.When turned down in this man- \\ ner the lamp gives out deadly stinking | fumes, which the sleepers inhale, as the ventilation is rarely sufficieni to carry oft tlie disease-causing elements.Hence arise the sick headache or the disagree- | able nauseatsng symptoms under which persons labor when they get up in the morning, symptoms which, this doctor believes, are those of poisoning,more or less rapid in its effects according to the victim's constitution.The after effects, j he says, are chiefly seen in diseases , of the throat and lungs.In proof of the j reasonableness of his theory he adds that morning alter morning, on visiting his patients, he has found a sooty secretion gathered on their lips, which he has traced to the lamp, which had been ; burning all night.When turned down the flame is't strong enough to consume : the gas arising from the oil while in a partial state of ignition.If the lamp | must remain in the sick room, he would ; insist on its being on to its full height.Even then he would have the windows open as lar as possible, so as to secure ; full and ftcc ventilation\u2014Globe.Dr.1).E.Salmon, veterinary surgeon, presents somewhat at length in the American Agriculturist for a room occupied by a drunken man,who j September, reasoning for believing up posed to have perished.Con- that we shall very soon come to diseases landers, title Fever, (\u2019little among Hogs, Fowls, etc., by a system of inoculation, similarly tracts have already been let to rebuild.| control such contagious vi;

Mr.Disraeli with his policy of imperial- ' ism.Half tlie time spent in prosecut.ing unjust wars, had it been devoted to j the consideration of Irish affairs, would j have allayed discontent, even if the true remedy had not been found.The ! Liberal policy is to look after things at glows diseases, we may be able, not only to ward them off by vaccination, but that we may carry the insusceptibility to the most perfect degree, and, by conferring this quality on all the breeding animals, we may create breeds that will transmit it by heredity, ami thus practically rid ourselves of the ravages caused by tlie animal plagues.Much research, however, is still required to settle these points, and to render the methods of vaccination practical and and safe ; hut with an outlook brighter than ever before it is advisable to redouble our efforts in this ! direction, and to accomplish all that tlie most advanced science of the I time can attain to.Wc shall douht-I less meet many discouragements,and be foiled many times in our endeavors, but with determination, energy, home and let foreign affairs take care of ! and perseverance, success must themselves : the Tory policy is to keep J surely crown Our elforts at last, and SnERBiiooKK, August 27,1881 Flour and Grain Reported by Farwetl J- .1/ Farta ae.)
