not stupid enough to obsiruct Kuglich iegiglat on to the injury of thei own iuflu-nce with the public.He hope : the Governm at wcu.d occupy it-\u2022rlf with tile qaevtio\u2019is of ioc-1 Government uod finance and retrencbmtnt.The Daily News says : \u201cSir Michael H cke if ghland Land League urg?mtl S- cretx y of State tor Scotland tuas t e Bri t\u2019sh Columbia cmigrotion scheme will not tcl'.le the crofter qu>s ion.The real remedy tusy say, is a lurthcr amendment of th Crofter's Act.Lo.su N, January IS\u2014Ex Banker Tayl ha-» had ai other charge rm emeus was held this morning when it was decided lo accept Mr.Prondergast as French representative, and he will possibly bo sworn iu before Thursday.A.F M irtin ia furious, and it i* probable that h- imy change the decision cf the caucus to-night ur early to-morrow.Tne new Cabinet will ».o s -voru iu 'o-merrow morning.The Conservatives will opp se, and probably be t Prendergast and Junes, if the latter runs in S-uith Winnipeg.In tha case of the Attimey-Genenl for the Dominion ngaioat Ryau A Hunev, ontractus for the building of the R'd River Valley Railway, an application was made t)-day for a perpetual injunction to restrain the de-fecd\u2019.n\u2019s from further enter ng upon, or in aoy way interfering with, orr ain lots through which a part of the line is already censtru xt-ed.There were two ensos, in each of which application was granted without cods, no re-ijotance being olLrtd on the part of the contractors.C.P.R.officials state that the reports re-gardioga wheat blockade are grossly incorrect.During tha past two weeks the company has moved n-.uch more grain than de'ivcred.8h ir'age of cars in Minnesota and Dakota is treble what it is on the C.P.R.The in-crea-e o\u2019 st wage at Fort William will prevent a bio ka le this year.The body of Edward Meers, who strayed from Saskatoon during Wednesday's storm, was found to-day near C-arke\u2019s Crossing on the South Saskatchewan by Indians.This makes the second death iu the Canadian against over 200 iu the American North-West, ry.No.14.892 EMLWAÏ OF OATV.AT-> A- Sir Dunabi A Smith hat scut a cheque for $50 to the S'.Pirrro Benevolent Soc.ety, for the benefit of 25th icstant, i Parols.their sotrte to be at the Cabinet ty held .on the de Lecture Mr.Wiliam James Whitehead, Manager of the fiochelaga Cotton Company, died tnis ¦norniug at his residence on Summcrhitl Avenue.The deceased was well known in bmiatss circLs.be to enable men enterng tho active army \u2022 \u2022\t*>ü''C!î Committee this afternoon con- befo*e their taeatûtn Jcar, to leave the e':\u2019ered the applications f( r Chief of Police.Land wehr earl er.lathe curse of the sitting Ge era* \\ un Sclaellurdolf, the Minister of ar, state l that the measure would give the army in tune of war au addition of nearly 100,000 trained ni-\u2019n.The coat is estimated at h*tween 80,000,000 and 100.000,000 marks, rho committ.e approved the bill without further amendment».The Kus-ian Government has renewed its anti-German measures iu the Baltic Pro-\\ ioces.Forty Lutheran cl*;rgymsn in Livonia have be-, u deprived of their ben-fices without \u2022a moment a notice, because they used only th1' Germ m language.The Czar revives the P '® -

alone can restore order out of chaos, anti as Mr.Gbeenway, the new Premier and Treasurer, will make the appeal at the head of a ministry composed of fresh material, it will occasion little surprise, wo think, if he were to secure a workiug majority at the polls.The Hajawsox deal proved a veritable fiasco, and the Doctor not only lost his Government, but before the sun had sunk to rest he also was deposed by his party, and the old chieftain, Mr.Noit-qcaY, was again raised to the leadership of the Conservatives.Late returns from Manitoba say that on counting noses it is found that tho balance of power is held by three gentlemen who claim to be Independents.They are Messrs.Brown, Glass and McArthur,\u2014the latte?elected the other day.Tho Reformers number sixteen, and sixteen also are claim, ed by the Conservatives.Mr.Greenway expects to secure the support of at least two or the Independents on general measures, but with so slender a majority he can scarcely hope to carry on affairs, with any degree of success.Among t!;o principle measures that may bs looked for, from his administration, is a redistribution bill.There is likely to bo energetic opposition over this bill.Mr.Greenway expects that it may cost him his Cabinet, but he is resolved to stand or fall by it.Should he fall, be will ask tho Lieutenant-Governor for an early dissolution of Parliament.This, His Honour, will be disposed to grant, doubtless, as it seems the only feasible way out of the difficulty.Probably, if the whole truth were known, Mr.Greenway courts defeat on some mea.sure, feeling confident that a genera election, with a decant political cry, might help the fortunes of him and his party.Mr.Mercier has given us all the slip, a>.d instead of going to Florida, or Georgia for the benefit of his health, he has resolved to put the sea between himself, and his untiring suite.His personally conducted tour to New York, was accomplished without a mishap, but while his friends drove down to the depot to see him off by one of the trains, he quietly hailed a cab, and drove to a wharf, and embarked on an ocean, bound steamer.He will probably visit France, and beyond a doubt, he will make a pilgrimage to Rome to see the pictures aud the statuary, though he might see some prettier things in that line, in Flo* rence, the collections therein, really surpassing those of the world.While in Lon* den, of course, Mr.Mercier, will look in at his brokers and see how his loan is getting along.The Credit Lyonnais is, wc understand, a very strong concern, being worth at least f jur times the capital of the Bank of Montreal.He may also run over to Ireland, and ru ike a speech or two on Home Rule, while the Scotch will not rest satisfied unless he braves the blasts and swirling waters to secure a foothold on Lewis, where the crofters await his coming, with open arms.Indeed, there is no end of places that Mr.Mercier might not visit, for the benefit of his health.And now that he is at last away, wo would ad vise him to make the most of his opportunities/ He needs rest, and Mr.Turcotte is managing the Government very well, in Ris absence, while Mr.McShank continues to maintain his solidity with the workingman.As the snow drifts increase in volume, so mounts higher Mt.^McShane's wide-earned popularity.Wordsworth\u2019s primrose mule the fortune of Lord Bea-coxsfield, and it is now the emblem of a club.It will be in order for the Minister of Public Works to cultivate the snowdrop.T.J.MOORE & Co., BUILDING.apl\u201920 Y.M.C.A.January 19.1888.C.E.HOLIWELL, ^^¦Opposite the Post
