Mr.McLennan'» address, for instance, complains that the Government did not show a disposition to practice economy by stopping the public works.Well, the Government did stop some of the things undertaken by the late Government\u2014the Gallop Rapids improve ment, for instance ; and h-* (Mr.Mackenzie) had l»een bitterly assailed iu Parliament by Sir John A.Macdonald for not proceeding with th it work.Who, then, are wc to believe, Sir John Macdonald or Mr.McLennan ?Is Sir John right or Mr.McLennan ?Has Mr.McLennan the authority or advice of his chief for this, or is it a rebellion against his leader ! Mr.Mowit had told them hu was not here as the Premier of Ontario, hut as a citizen, anxious for the welfare of the whole Dominion.They Would find the Conservative pa|»er* denouncing him (Mr.Mackenzie) because he hail '* forced\u2019\u2019 tiie members of the liocal Government to sustain him throughout the whole country.In St.John, because the members of the Local Government had not attended their meetings, the Comervatives said THEY DIDN\u2019T CARE POU VH, and her», it will lie said that they care too much.Thus it was impossible to please the Conservatives.If they refused to undertake some public work they were told it was because the county in which it waa to be carried on had the misfortune to he represented by an opponent of the Government ; if they undertook it they discovered another reason.What was the reply made by Dr.Tu plier when asked why certain public works had been undertaken in Kingston ?He said : \u201cThe hon.gentleman did that to bribe the electors of Kingston to vote against Sir John Macdonald.\u201d If they spent money they were said to be bribing the people ; if they did not they wire accused of acting with partiality.In fact, it was said that their conduct only illustrated the d< ctrine of the utter depravity of humane nature.In 1X73 the Government despatched a body of men to complete an examination undertaken by the lute Government in connection with the location of the terminus at Lake Nepigon, and to | lan a survey.The Mail then denounced him forgoing to Nepigon : it declared that the friends of the Government were interested in soinu lands there ami that Thunder Bay should have hem chosen.Afterwards when Thunder Bay was selected they were denounced by the MoUey for courtesy.(Laughter).Is Sir John Macdonald in earnest ?The leader of a great party, of course, i* in earnest.(Imughter).At Hamilton he said \u201c Let\u2019s know how much these manufacturers requin» and we shall protect them.\u201d This was re-IMirted all over the Lower I\u2019mvinces, and when they asked Mr.Tilley: \u201cHow is it yon and your party ha* declared for free trade here and your leader said at Hamilton that he would protect the manufacturers ?\" They did not know how to get out of tiie dilHculty, and Mr.Boyd leleu rai'iicj to Sir John and Sir John telegraphed !»ack with great want of tact\u2014though you know he 1* a great tactician.It iras said when the late Go* eminent went out that the pi ruent administration would not stop in power three mouths in the face of his tactic*.Well, the present Government has survived five years anil will survive.(Great cheering.) Sir John telegraphed to Mr.Boyd, \u201c I m-ier proposed to increase the Customs duties.\u201d He was then askttl.\u201cWHAT PO TOP MEAN TO PROTEi-rî\" His answer was, \u201cWell, you know when a Ministry is about to introduce a budget they never tell before what it will lie ; they introduce the budget and then take hold of the telegraph !\u201d (Great laughter) Sir John sfieaks as if he was still a Minister ; he keep» very secret about his jiolicy, but the people would tell him he wa* not a minister, an 1 was not likely to he a Minister.(Laughter ) He (Mr.Mackenzie) was not afraid to tell his own general policy, and he said he hail no objection to add live per cent.k.o the articles enumerated.Sir John Macdonald was like that German who had constructed a monster which, after it was finished, he could not control it.Sir John is like the German, and the monster of his own making is kicking him to diath.(Laughter).Last year the imports of cotton went three-fourth* les» than in 1X74 ; how was this\u2019 There were mills at Hochelaga, Cornwall and other places in the Dominion, and these mills have already decreased our revenue, Sir John MacdonaJd propose* reciprocity of Uriif with the United States.The tariff there is 41 per cent., and what would be the result ?In two or three years more mills would be built and the manufacturers would be enriched for a time ; then they will over-stock the country, and then these manufacturers will become bankrupt.They could not manufacture as cheaply in Canatla as in countries where those fwho invested their capital in manufactures did not expect so much interest on their investments.He nad a list of 468 manufacturers in England In which fifty-three million of capital was invested, and these 43X manufac-tunm only ftaid last year an average of four |>er cent, dividend, and 10 of these that did not work paid no dividend at all.Protection must make the people more for their gtsHls, otherwise it is not |>rotection at all.THE GENERAL CONFERENCE OF THE METHODIST CHURCH OF CANADA.The second m-nsioii of the General (.''inference of the Methodist Church of Canada will he o|a ned iu the Dorchester Street Methodist Church in this city on Wt-duendav forenoon next at nine o'clock.The importance of this meeting it lieing, so to speak, the great Methodist Parlia mint of the Dominion, will attract toward» it uiiisideralile puhliu attention, more tiH|H- i.illy as the General * -'onfentice living held only qua Iren-uially, the present Conference will legislate for the government of the Methodist body iu Cauada during the next four years.The annual conference* which are represented at this General Conference are known as the Tor«n-t\u2018>, London, Montreal, Nova Scotia, Now Brunswick and Newfoundland Conferences, l or every eight ministers in the annual conferences there are two delegates (one lay and one clerical) In the General Conference.ThD system of church legislation was inaugurated at the uniou of the Wesleyan Methodist Church of Canada, the Wesleyan Methodist Church of Eastern British America and the New Connexion Methodikt Church of ('anada in lx?) to form the present influential body known as \u201cThe Methodikt Church iu Cana la,\u2019\u2019 and win h claim» to lie most numerous Froteiitaiit denomination in the Dominion.In 1X71 the population of the Dominion of Canada and Prince Edward

included Primitive Methodists and Episcopal Methodists, which have not a» yet al lied themselves with the Methodist Church of ( 'anada.Consequently it is yet a disputed point whether or not the Methodist Church of (.'anada or the Presbyterian Church in Canada lias the greater number of adherent».In educational work the Church has under its control two Univemities, viz., Victoria University, at Co-bourg, Ont., mid Mount Allison, at Backvilla, N.B, ; also Colleges iu St.John\u2019».Newfld., Charlottetown, P.E.I., and Standstead, One., hebitles the Wesleyan Theological College at Montreal, and 1.allies' Colleges at Whitby and Hamilton, Ont.In Newfoundland a large numlier of the day schools are Methodist, and form a part of the de-iiniuinutioiial school system of that Province, The iieriodical», conducted under the direction of the General < 'onference, are : T/ie Chrixtian Huant inn and Thr M< ih.rii.it Magazine, of Toronto, and The Weateyan, of Halifax.When tiie present position of the Methodht laxly in Britain and on this Continent is considered, and then tlis fact that the first Methodist class waa not formed until 1732, or the first Mtthodist Conference lield until 1744, one Is struck with wonder at the extraordinary growth of the society.Founded only in 1738 it has in 140 years growth outstripped, as regards the numlier of its adherent* iu English-speaking lands, nearly every other sect, and its influence on society is second to none other.The preliminary arrangement* for the opening of the Conference have been made by a billeting committee, of which the Rev.W.I.Shaw is the Secretary.Among other provisions for the accommodation of the members of the Conference during (heir stay here has been the publication of a handsome \u201c Register\" containing a map of the cify and valuable information concerning Mi ntreal for their use.A branch office of the Dominion Tilegraph Company will be opened in one of tiie dans moms of the

several illegitimate children \u2014actual or pretended- ap|>eared after the miser's death, employed connue!, got their share, and then other lawyers settled the estate.They did settle it, and in their usual way It bear* the same relation P) what it originally was that the skeleton of a home bears to the blooded and valuable lieaat.When will men learn that the Role safety it in ilUpusing cf their property «lur-leg life ?The will of a dead man which is dis-juited\u2014nnu it always ia diaputeil in theie daya \u2014 is treated by iawyira in much the same manner that a carcass is treated by vulture*.\u2014Y.Y.Tinicf.An Association ha* been established in I^>n.on for the sale of ladies' dresse* of all kind* on the principle of the co-operative societies.The i tabling» include a refreshment and uaiting-room for ladies.A lady in America recently gave a patty, and apiM-arnl liefare her guests in paner gartneuts, to show that she could dress well at a co*t of four shilling*.
