given for defendant in the Court of Queen\u2019s Bench, Lower Canada.The appellant is proprietor of land at St.Therese, on the river Mille llles branch of the Ottawa, the front of which is subject to

\u201cIf I am married I don\u2019t know it.There is no truth in the story.\u201d The origin of the rumour was that directly after the session of Parliament Mr, Foster left the city.Hon.Mr.Bowell, speaking to a friend of Mr.Foster's absence, happened, in answer to a question, to say that the Minister of Finance was likely gone West to get married.This, of course, was only sald in jest.The

Church with being hotheaded and fanatical.Bishop Lewis, of Ontario, sails for Canada, accompanied by Mrs.Lewis, on the 23rd inst.Bishop Lewis has an ordination to perform on the 16th prox., and he

EXPLAINS A Wide Divergense Between His Utterances and the Reports.THE WAY TO TREAT THE LEVEL CROSSINGS.The * First Proposition\u201d Does Not Apply to U, S Coloured Men, ef MR.WIMAN\u2019S EVIDENCE.The Published Report in Many In stances Inaccurate.NEw York, May 10.\u2014In an interyiew with a reporter to-day Mr.Wiman said :\u2014 \u201cThe Associated Press despatch published in the Canadian papers and transmitted to me for explanation, most incorrectly represents what was said by me before the interstate Commerce Committee.1 stated that the Canadian railroads, not exclusively the Canadian Pacific road, had done more than anything else to build up the Western and Northwestern States.I did not say that Commercial union was a short cut to annexation, but that some so regarded it, while others looked upon it as indefinitely postponing it.I did not say that Canda could not remain in her present condition, but that there were many who conceived that she would be much better off with freer trade relations with the United States.Idid not say that the tie which bound her to England was that of the merest sentiment, but I did say that the sentiment which bound her to England was of a very strong character.I did not say that she must either become an independent republic or join the Union, but did say that the political consequences of the fréedom of trade with the United States might be that at some future timr Canada might become independent, ard a great republic be thus created.The examination lasted an hour, during which my replies must have covered five or six columns, and even this corrected report most inadequately represents what wassaid.\u2014\u2014 ROUGH ON LEVEL CROSSINGS, A Bill Canada Might Imitate.H artrorp, Conn., May 10.\u2014The House to-day so amended the Grade Crossing Bill, reported from the committee,that the entire cost of abolishing grade crossings shall fall upon the railroads in every case, whether the highway did or did not exist

Mo.,, May 1.\u2014The Bald Knob- bers, David Walker, William Walker and John Matthews, were hanged to-day, as Governor Frances would not grant commutation.The execution took place at 9.50 a.m.As he

Matthews was praying as he fell.The stretch of the rope let all down to the ground.The rope broke and Bill Walker fell upon the ground, he talked for three minutes when he was taken up by the sheriff and deputies, Dave Walker was drawn up and died in fifteen minutes, Matthews lived about thirteen minutes and died with his feet on the ground.The scene was horrible in extreme.The trap was again adjusted and Bill Walker was placed on the scaffold, he died without \u2018a strugzle, when he fell this time.Neither of the trio was 50 years old and Wm.Walker was barely 19 years of age.Willy Matthews, nephew of Jno.Matthews who was also implicated inthe crimes and was under sentence of death, escaped from jail on December 28.Taney County, Missouri, was the birthplace of the Order of Masked Regulators known as the Bald-Knobbers.It is in the wildest section of the State, and early-day lawlessness caused the formation of leagues for the protection of life and property.Saloons were destroyed and petty offenders punished.The Green-Edens killing occurred on the night of March 11,1887.The Bald-Knob- bers whipped John Evans for misbehaving in church.His friend, old man Edens, afterwards fearlessly denounced the Bald-Knobbers, when twenty-six of them went to his house and fired promiscuously into it, killing William Edens and Charles Green and leaving old man Edens on the floor for dead.Bill Walker was shot in the leg and was traced by detectives, who shadowed his sweetheart.Three of the Bald-Knobbers finally confessed to secure immunity.The leaders of the band were devout church members.They believed they were cham- jons of the right and claimed that the dens-Green killing was an unfortunate but unavoidable mistake.\u2014_\u2014 Suicide of a Farmer.ST.Rem, Que,

A Politician Who Would Make a Desirable Immigrant, STRIKE OF GERMAN MINERS.Prince Bismarck and the Emperor Take Sides with the Men\u2014Pressure 10 be Put on Mine Owners.LoxpoN, May 10.\u2014The strikes of the Westphalia miners have now reached proportions demanding immediate settlement, in order to prevent their spread to other regions and ultimate widespread disorder and bloodshed, There is baing no disposition evinced on the part of the ttrikers to recede from their demands, which are really just, and command the eympathy of persons of all classes, with the exception of course of mining masters, who resist them, Prince Bismarck has taken hand.in the matter yesterday.The Chancellor summoned several of the masters to Berlin, and to-day, acting upon his determination that the troubles should be instantly settled, in view of the approaching elections, he summoned some more of them to appear.The Emperor has taken a deep interest in the strike and caused frequent bulletins of their progress to be furnished to him.He ig said to have expressed a fear that the troubles will have the effect of deferring the fulfilment of the desires of his grandfather, Emperor William I, with regard to the betterment of the condition of workingmen, and makes no concealment of his anxiety for a speedy adjustment of the present difficulty.The Socialists are taking advantage of the strikes to increase their numbers and strength in the disturbed regions, and incidentally elsewhere, by sending large sums of money to the strikers through their propaganda.This action must necessarily have some effect on the elections, hence the anxiety of those who have for years been identified with the war against Socialism, to put an end to the disorders at once.The press, with the exception of the ultra-Conservative journale, are unanimous in advising masters to accede to the demands of the men, particularly in view of the fact that all of the mine owners have had an ex- ceptially good year, and can well afford to deal liberally with their overworkad employees.The demands made by the men are : That their pay be increased ; that eight hours shall constitute a day\u2019s work, and that their time shall begin and end at the shaft.The miners have made a direct appeal to the Emperor for his support, and it is not thought that they have appealed in vain, although additional troops have been sent to the scene of the disturbances to prevent further violent outbreaks.\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 AN UNUSUALLY FASTIDIOUS LEGISLATOR.Resignation of a Liberal M P, LoxpoN, May

there is also a slight advance on the price of potatoes, but old onions are being marketed at whatever tbey will bring, and green onions are brought to the city in wagon loads.Green vegetables, especially rhubarb, have been improving in size and declining in price rapidly of late.Rhubarb is 56c per dozen bunches; radishes, 50c@t0c do.; lettuce, 40c(@$1 do.; asparagus, 25¢ per bunch for home grown and 30c to 40c for American ; green peas and string beans, $1 the peck.There are no changes to note in the prices of poultry and dressed hogs, of which there are still a few brought to market by the farmers.Butter is getting plentiful and lower all round.In the fruit market there is a desperate attempt being made to get rid of apples before they become entirely unsalable; oranges and lemons are both dear and likely to continue 80 for some time to come; strawberries are higher in price than they have been lately, or from 40c to 50c the box; tomatoes, $1.50 the box, or 30c the dozen.There is an abundant supply of hay and prices are rather lower.The following are to-day\u2019s prices: \u2014 Grain\u2014Oats, 80c to 90c per bag;

many woollen mills are idle but others are at work full time with fair profits.The approaching transition from one crop year to another, the recent change of administration, the changes in the interstate law and the development of manufactures at the South are producing effects which cannot yet be fully measured.Iron production has begun, to decline, the output weekly of Anthracite and bituminous May first being only 133,714 tons, a decrease of 4,323 tons weekly since April 1st.But the announcement of the Thomas Iron Company that it will supply No.1 foundry at $16.50 at tide & Grey forge at $15 or lower if necessary to meet Southern competition is expected to accelerate the reduction of output.The largest Virginia concern has reduced its price $1.50 in return and Alabama iron bad previously been selling here at $16.A number of furnaces are about to blow out, though works making Bessemer iron, or mill iron for their own use, are not affected.Pricer are lower at Pittsburg also, but there is a better feeling in finished bar iron there and at Philadelphia, and the demand for plate, pipe, sheet and structural iron continues satisfactory.The coal market is still unsettled at the east by the awaited decision of the Inter- State Commissioners in the coke case, and at Pittsburg by a decision to close mines until lower wages are accepted.The wool market goes lower while waiting for adequate new supplies and the average of 104 qualities May first was 24.3, against 24.8 cents on April first.The future depends upon the state of the goods market, which is not now encouraging; the demand for woolens is meagre; dealings in dress goods are light, and while waiting for the treasury decision regarding worsteds, manufacturing and buying are retarded.The cotton manufacture is active and healthy, and the business after the Centennial holidays has been at firm prices, with prospects of a speedy advance in heavy sheetings, while gingams are also strong.At Philadelphia the clothing trade is considered poor, and collections * about as bad as they ever have been.\u201d The trade in drugs and chemicals has become quite active, with collections excellent, but dye stuffs are dull.A speculative movement in breadstuffy has developed again, apparently based on the theory that although the coming crop may be very large, there will be enough actual scarcity in July before new wheat comes forward freely to enable traders to unload.Wheat has advanced 1} cents, corn 14 and oats 11, with an advance of 15 cents per hundred pounds on hogs and lard, Oil has declined 3}¢ and cotton a sixteenth, with sales of 678,000 bales here for the week.The receipts are just now THE CREAT ADVERTISEMENTS.FRS ( AERA Sarsaparilla Compound PRICE 75 CENTS.SPRING MEDIGINE.CURES ALL BLOOD DISEASES, ~ Such as Pimples, Blotches, Ulcers, 8alt Rheum, Running Sores and Scrofula.Acts upon the Stomach, Liver aud Kidneys, Cures Dys epsia, Liver Complaint, Rheumatism ard all Kidney troubles.Price 75 cents (with Pills $1.00.)

John King orate eloquently on behalf of the pool which put unearned money in the pocket of his road; Commissioner Fink talked volumes of sweet platitudes; President Hill, of the St.Paul and Manitoba, built beautiful railroad air-castles, but did not say how much he and his partners made out of the Canadian Pacific, while Charles Francis Adams didu\u2019t know an awfal lot about what the Committee wished to find out.Erastus Wiman showed himself an intelligent reader of the World by quoting from its columns.The most pertinent feature of the inquiry is the vast annexation necessity which it has brought to light.The Senators have discovered that Canada has more than a fair slice of the pudding.They have also learned that the Canadian railroads, by keeping down transportation rates, are anything but an unmixed evil, and there is little doubt that the dilemma of retaliation or annexation will occupy a prominent position in the report which they will put forth.If it does not the labors of Senators Gorman and Blair will have been in vain.Charles Francis Adams, the Boston figurehead of the Union Pacific, was the most unsatisfactory witness that the committee had before it.He was courteous to a degree that gave pain to the onlookers.He pronounced his A\u2019s at a truly Boston length, and his bald head glistened with good will and open-hear:- edness towards the committee.But what he did not know was something simply stupendous.He could not tell what effect the interstate commerce law had upon railroads, because it had not been stringently enforced long enough for him to form an opinion.He could not tell whether the Canadian Pacific had encroached upon the business of the Union Pacific, as it had not been in business long enough.He just hoped that the committee would leave things as they are a little longer, so that folks could see what was going to happen under a stringent enforcement of the law.Thomas Lyman Greene testified that of late the railroads had seriously injured business by sudden and arbitrary changes in the rates on freight.; James J.Hill, of the St.Paul, Minneapolis and Manitoba Company, came down from the far Northwest to tell what the Canadian Pacific had done for him and his 3,000 miles of railroad.In spite of the name the company owns not a foot of lige in the Dominion, although it runs through cars on Canadian roads.As soon as the Canadian Pacific was built competition began.It had a smarc show of business while the Canadian Pacific was building, running north of St.Vincent as high as 40 per cent.of the entire business.Since, however, the business had dropped to almost nothing, thanks to the trouble made by the Canadian customs laws.The Senators wanted to know if it would not be a good plan to settle border questions by making Canada a part of America, or vice versa.\u201cf was born in Canada,\u201d said Mr.Hill, \u201capd I think the Canadians would make very good Americans.\u201d In regard to the real question of the hour, Mr.Hill said that the Canadian roads would have a manifest advantaga of the American roads so long as the latter were held down to the Interstate law and the latter were free from its exactions.If the Canadian roads were compelled to do business on the same terms and conditions as the American roads they could not live, notwithstanding their liberal bonuses.In fine, the only salvation which the witness could suxgest was the dear old pool, the railroad men\u2019s friend.Erastus Wiman, lover of commercial union, next took the stand and suggested his own questions, and said he wanted to testify regarding the effect upon the whole country of the construction of the Canadian railroads., No railroad in Canada had ever paid any profits on its stock.Therefore the low rates at which they had carried goods had been in tha nature of beneficence to the public.Ho thought they had contributed enormous benefits to the country, and he seemed to look upon them as a sort of charity given by the Canadian Government, assisted by English stock and bond holders, to the great American people.Senator Cullom wanted to know if the roads expected to run on forever without making money.Mr.Wiman said that they hoped to make a profit out of the Asiatic business they are building up.He was very optimistic regarding the Canadian Pacific and he whooped her up for all she was worth.He thought it hard for the American roads to suifer competition from the Canadian roads, yet did not advocate harsh treatment towards the latter.Commercial union was the specific which he advocated.He thought that a repeal of the bonded privilege would be looked on by Canadians as in the nature of a retaliatory measure, and he gave the Committee notice that the Canadians were not to be moved in that way.\u201c Although there is a strong and secret growth in favour of annexation,\u201d he said, \u201cit will take at least five Parliaments of five years each to vote Canada into the United States.Coercion will never bring it; commercial union wight hasten it very much.\u201d Mr.Wiman thought the America Government had asgood a right to pu the Canadian roads under harness as Canada had to put restrictions on fish at Halifax.Mr.Wiman said there was a senti mental feeling in Canada agains political union, but\u2014and he quoted from the World's Canadian letters\u2014there was serious agitation in Canada on many points.The Conservative party hangs on the life of one man, and he a very old one\u2014Sir John Macdonald.\u201c Atter Sir John, the deluge,\u201d quoted he.The recent Jesuit trouble in Quekec, he said, had strongly helped the cause of annexation.And yet, in spite of all, sentiment was 80 strong in the Dominion that if he went there and offered to hold a meeting favouring annexation he.would be stoned out of the country.Big with thought the Committee adjourned untie this morning, when President Van Horn, of the Canadian Pacific, will try to straighten out the tangle.SOMETHING YOU SHOULD KNOW.Many of our readers have often asked \u201cWhat is Bright's' Disease of the Kidneys, about which we hear so much?\u201d To answer their question we have secured the following explanatory article, written by a competent authority : The symptoms of Bright's Disease (which is but an advanced form of Kidney Disease) differ in different individuals, but generally the patient presents a flabby, bloodless look, is - drowsy and easily fatigued, has pair in the back, vomiting and febrile disturbance.The urine is reduced in quantity, is often of dark, smoky or bloody color, and exhibits to chemical reaction the presence of a large amount of albumen, while under the microscope blood corpuscles and casts are found.There are several forms of the malady, but their common prominent characteristic is the presence of albumen in the urine, and frequently also the co-exist.ance of dropsy.These associated symptoms, in connection with Kidney Diseases were first described in 1827 by Dr.Richard Bright, an English physician, who first investigated them, Sometimes there is a degeneration of the tissues of the kidney into fat, thus impairing the excreting powers of the organ so that the urea is not sufficiently separated from the blood.The flow of the blood, when charged with this urea, is retarded through the minute vessels, congestion ensues, and exudation of albumen and fibrin is the result.The disease 18 often accompanied by eruptions on the skin, as boils, etc., and is frequently associated with enlargement of the heart.The cause of this terrible malady are, indulgence in too much ice-water as a Leverage, strong drink, high living, indigestion, exposure to wet and cold, various kinds of fevers, malaria, pregnancy, and other bodily derangements such as a complication of certain acute diseases, like erysipelas, diphtheria, and especially scarlet fever (of which it is one of the most frequent and serious after effects).diseases of bones and other scrofulous affections.Common-sense treatment of Kidney Disease of the character referred to necessarily involves removal of the causes, rectification cf other secretions and increase in the number of blood-red corpuscles, by the administration of Warner\u2019s Safe Cure.It is a specific even in the advanced stages, when the blood has poisoned the nerve centres, restoring the secretion of healthy fluids and relieving the congestion of the brain.It speedily arrests the inflamatory action, which is marked by an increased amount of urine.The albumen gradually disappears, the dropsy subsides and the patient recovers, There is no standstill in advanced Kidney Disease; those who are afflicted with it are either constantly growing better or worse.How important, therefore, that this terrible disease be taken in hand in time and treated with a known specific.CHURCHES.Church of the Gesu\u2014Sermon at 8 p.m., Rev.J.Connolly.Church of the Messiah.\u2014Rev.Wm S.Barnes will preach at both morning and evening services.Crescent Street Presbyterian Church.\u2014 Services commence at 11 a.m.and 7 p.m.The Rev.Principal MacVicar, D.D., will preach at both services, Sabbath school at 3 p.m.St.Bartholomew\u2019s Church, Beaver Hall Hiil\u2014Rector, Rt.Rev.Bishop Ussher.Service, at 11 a.m.and 7 p.m.Sunday schoo} and Bible class 3 p.m.Strangers welcotne, Maisonreuve Mission.\u2014In the house of Mr.M.Charron, 130 Notre Dame street.Sunday school at 3 p.m.Evening service at 8 o\u2019clock, conducted by Mr.W.M.Kochester, B.À.Montreal Welsh Union\u2014Service of Eacred Song and Prayer, 2.45, to-morrow « fternoon in the Y.M.C.A.Building, Victoria Square.Welsh visitors and sailors are cordially invited.St.Andrew\u2019s Church (Church of Scotland).Morning service, Holy Communion, 11 o'clock.Evening service, Post Communion, 7 o\u2019clock.Rev.J.Edgar Hill, M.A.B.D., will officiate at both services.Special collection for poor.The Advent Christian Congregation.Assembly Hall, 2269 St.Catherine street, over Hall & Scott's.\u2014 Service at 7 p.m.Elder Wm.W.Robertson officiating.Subject: \"Scripture va.Creeds, Relative to Man's Condition in Death\u201d St.Martin\u2019s Church, Upper St.Urbain street\u20149.a.m., Holy Communion.11 a.m., morning prayer and sermon 3 p.m., Sunday school and rector\u2019s Bible class.p.m,, evening prayer and sermon.Preacher at both services, the Rector.St.Paul's Church, Dorchester street.\u2014 The Rev.James Barclay, M.A., pastor, will officiate at all the services;

better to pay a good talary to intelligent men who will become, after a limited service, settlers in the country than to constitute the force a regular long service military organization, to which inferior men will cling for the sake of the pension.The pay of the Mounted Police was formerly seven- ty-five cents per day, and this has been reduced to forty.The Macleod Gazette, a Conservative journal and therefore free from the suspicion of carping unnecessarily at Sir John Macdonald, is amongst those who believe that the true system is short service, good pay and no pension, rather than long service, reduced pay and a pension.The only exception made is in the case of a pension for men injured in the discharge of their duty.If almost goes without saying that some allowance to these men is proper, but it is by no means certain that the new policy concerning the N.W.Police as distinguished from the old one, is the best.A LIE FROM MONTREAL.The N.Y.World published on Thursday what professed to Le a telegram irom Montreal.Perhaps it was, and if it was it would be interesting to know by whom it was inspired.The telsgram states that the C.P.R.report was \u201ccooked\u201d to throw dust in the eyes of the Senate Investigating Committee at New York, and it then proceeds to make comparisons between the figures of 1888 and those of 1886, ignoring 1887 which probably did not suit the purpose of the authors of the telegram.A reference is made to the censure in the report of the Grand Trunks interference with the affairs of the C.P.R., and then comes the following piece of malice.It is expected that the shareholders of the Company will take things into their own hands and make an attempt to have the workings of the road made less inscrutable and more to their interests.That {the great corporation is rotten and on its last legs is firmly believed by a majority of Canadians, and an expose is expected at no distant day.Who prompted the Montreal reporter who sent this telegram to libel the railway company, the credit of which such persistent but unsuccessful efforts to ruin bave been made in England?No doubt it would suit several interests to have it believed in New York and other American centres that Canada\u2019s great railway was \u201crotten and on its last legs,\u201d and although the statement is absolutely false and directly contrary to every known fact, the system of constantly lying about a rival enterprise may no doubt have mischievous effects.That these will inconvenience, if they do not injura, the people of Canada goes for nothing with those people who set the libellous stories afloat.We trust that the World's telegram did not issue from an employee of that journal in this city which is supposed to be in accord with the Dominion Government, a Government which would be responsible for the failure of the C.P.R,, if such impossible event occurred.It would not seem to be in accordance with the fitness of things * that the staff of a friendly journal should manufacture lies about an enterprise with which Sir John Macdonald, Sir Charles Tupper and Mr.Pope, have been 30 closely associated.rs THE FRANCHISE ACT.The Compton election once more brings to public notice the iniquity of the Dominion Franchise Act, and the iniquitous manner in which it has been manipulated by the Government.Though that act has already cost the country upwards of half a million dollars, voters\u2019 lists three years old will have to be used in this election, The result will be that scores, perhapshundreds, of men who have at- | change of Government.MONTREAL HERALD aND DAILY tained tbe necessary qualifications since the last and only revision which has taken place, will ba deprived of their right of voting, while the lists contain the names of mauy who have died during the last three years or have left the county and gone to other parts of the Dominion or to the United States.These abseatees, who may have transferred their stake in the county to other constituencies or to a foreign country, can come back and exercise the privilege of voting denied to .men who have retained their stake in the constituency and possess the necessary qualifications, but are deprived of that privilege because no revision of the lists has taken place for three years.Up to the first of July last the Franchise Act cost the people of Canada 60 cents for every elector placed on the lists when the first revision was made.Other expenses have been incurred since that date, and another quarter of a million has been voted towards the cost of the second revision; and yet, at this moment, thousands of men in the Dominion qualified to be electors are denied the privilege of the franchise.That is how Sir John Macdonald\u2019s Franchise Act confers the franchise privilege upon the younz men of the country.NOTING OUR DANGER.CuicAGo TRIBUNE (~The latest official returns give the public debt of Canada as $236, 575,000, of which $188,713,000 is payable in England.It is probable that more than that is held there.Great as this debt is, considering the limited resources and population of that country, it is steadily increasing.The last session of the Federal Parliament added about $20,600,000 to it.Appropriations were made which involve aa expenditure of about $57,000,000, while the revenue will not exceed $36,000,000.Itis claimed that some of these expenditures are for works which will speedily repay their cost, but that has not been the experience of Canada nor of this country.The debt will increase and expenses will not diminish, for while it is hard for a private individual to retrench itis almost impossible for anation,especially when it has pride and want.to keep on living in the ostentatious way to which it has for years been accumtomed.At present the interest on the public debt is about $13,000,000, or a third of the annual revenue.The former will increase proportionately faster than the latter, and the time will come when its payment will be an intolerable burden.Then the English holders of this debt, carinz little who pays it so long as it 1s paid, will add their influence to the annexation movement, knowing that they will be sure of interest and principal while this country is their debtor, but being sure of neither while the bankrupt Dominion is the one owing them.The Chicago Tribune is one of those American papers which of late has ovinced considerable interest in Canadian affairs.The people of Canada, of course, have not the slightest objection to be being taken notice of in this way, provided the facts are not distorted, even though the Tribune\u2019s object is to boom annexation.There is a great deal of truth in what our contemporary hints at as to the danger involved in continued increase of our national debt at the rate maintained since 1879\u2014though it overstates the figures in some respects, more particularly with regard fo the interest paid on the debt.As has frequently been pointed out in these columns, the increase in our financial obligations \u2014 debt, expenditure, and interest \u2014 has been out of all proportion to the Increase of our population, the growth of our foreign trade and the development of our industrial resources ; and we cannot go on indefinitely increasing those obligations without getting into deep water financially.A continuance for a few, years longer of the reckless financia policy which has prevailed during ths past ten years will drive the Ship o.State into financial breakers, and when our debt becomes an intolerable burden \u2014as it soon may\u2014the people will ba very apt to drift into a mood in which they will be prepared to seek any haven of shelter in the storm.Very naturally, our Chicago contemporary thinks they will seek relief in union with the American Republic.We, of course, cannot answer what the people may or may not be prepared to do under stress of difficult circumstances, but the fact that American papers are taking that view of the situation should arouse the public men of Canada to the serious danger involved in any further increase of our national debt.That a halt must be called has practically been admitted by both Sir J.Macdonald and Sir Charles Tupper\u2014by the latter two years ago\u2014and yet the race of reckless and criminal extragavance continues.When these\u2019 two optimistic statesmen admit that further increase of our Provincial obligations is undesirable, it is high time for the people of Canada to take the alarm.The trouble is that no relief from the financial difficulties looming up before the country can be expected so long as the present Government retains power.They have been political spendthrifts from the beginning and will be such to the end of the chapter.If is now too late for them to reform ; indeed, there is no motive for them to reform so long as the people\u2019s representatives keep on voting them authority to spend public money without check or hindrance, and endorse the most reprehensible financial transactions, as wag doneduring the past and previous sessions.If there is to be a change for the better in financial methods and practices there must be a The danger is that the change may come too late; the people of Canada may have to lock the stable after the steed is stolen.\u2014_\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 Mr.TemprLE, M.P., for York, N.B,, is still at Ottawa, said to be endeavoring to induce the Government to proceed with the survey of the Harvey-Salisbury branch, notwithstanding that the Senate threw out the bill.Presumably also, he is looking out for the $30,000 gift to his bridge over the St.John River at Fredericton.Ir may be all right, but it looks as if the Fire Committee of the City Council had recommended the acceptance of a steamer which, in the tests applied, had Lot worked fully up to tbe guarantee.It ie to be presumed that the City Council, before adopting the report of the committee, will satisfy itself that the matter is all right and the steamer equal to ali reasonable requirements.WHAT OTHERS BAY.HOW THE THING WORKS., The millers in the Dominion are now in a position to realize just whatthe N.P.is duing for them.Their raw material is taxed higher than their finished product, and it does not require an expert in political economy to know what that means.\u2014 London Advertizer.INGENIOUS, BUT TRUE.Hon.John E.Russell, of Massachusetts, accounts for the very general reduction of wages in an ingenious manner.He says the Protectionist manufacturers who contributed so largely to elget President Harrison have no other way of making good their bank accounts.They have paid Paul, and now they are robbing Peter.\u2014 Philadelphia Record.DEFYING PARLIAMENT.It is now alleged that the Government will not ask for a Governor-General\u2019s warrant to authorize the expenditure of public money in surveying the route of the projected railway from Harvey to Moncton, but will pay for this work out of the general appropriation for surveys.This does not improve the situation.Instead of spending public money without the authority of parliament, the ministers propose to waste upon the Short Line project moneys which parliament voted for an entirely different purpose.They propose to devote the moneys whieh Parliament voted for useful and necessary works to promoting a scheme which Parliament has distinctly and emphatically condemned.This is clearly a misappropriation of public funds and a scandalous abuse of executive power.How will Mr.Walter Shanly, who publicly thanked God when the Senate rejected the Short Line scheme, justify the expenditure of public money by his political leaders in promoting that same scheme, in deflance of the authority of Parliament ?\u2014 Ottawa Free Press.NEW ADVERTISEMENTS.\u201cYou Try Them!\u201d \u2014\u2014 OS ee What is happiness

Commerce Committee.PRESIDENT VAN HORNES EVIDENCE.[New York Times.] President Van Horne, of the Canadian Pacific, made a favorable impressien, and seemed entirely willing to give all the information wanted by the committee.More than once in the session the committee was informed that the elimination of Canadian railroads from the railroad problem would greatly benefit American toads, although the wiping out of the Canadian roads, the committee was assured, would have no effect on freight rates.The two bits of information did not seem to jibe, but the committee made no comments on the circumstance, W.C.Van Horne, President of the Canadian Pacific, succeeded Mr.Roberts a8 a witness.He said the main line extended from Quebec to Vancouver, Another line extended from Montreal to London, and wouid be extended to the Detroit River.À leased line would extend across Maine and connect with the New Brunswick system.The real eastern terminus was at Mattawamkeag.The system extended to St.John and Halifax.There was a branch from San- bury Junction to Sault Ste.Marie.The only lines in the United States were in Maine and from the St.Lawrence to Newport, Vt.The roads connecting Duluth and Minneapolis with the * Soo\u201d Road were not owned by the Canadian Pacific, but the latter's friends control it.The bridge overthe \u201cSoo\u201d was owned by the Canadian Pacific half, Daluth, South Shore and Atlantic quarter, and \u201cSoo\u201d Road quarter.Mr.Van Horne could not be induced to say the Canadian Pacific controlled the bridge or the two roads which own half of it.Each road was a separate corporation.Sir George Stephen, Sir Donald Smith, and the witness were Directors of the Duluth and the Canadian Pacific.The chief traffic of the Canadian Pacific was Canadian to the extent of 90 per cent.This included cotton goods business from Canada to China.Very little purely American business passed the Detroit frontier.Iastern business reached Boson by the South Eastern and and Lowell and by Boston and Concord.The road had some traffic from the East to San Francisco, Seattle, and Puget Sound points, and vice versa.The Canadian Pacific obtained exclusive of coal, only & very inconsiderable portion of its tonnage from the United States.Much of it was lumber.The American roads competed on traffic from Ontario to Manitoba.The Canadian Pacific got a passenger differential on Pacific coast business.He thought it was $5 for second- class and $10 for first-class passengers.The road did little freight business with San Francisco.It obtained a differential, he thought, on that business.The passenger differential his road got on passengers from San Francisco and Portland.Mr.Van Horne was asked to give a history of the road.Ils gave much testimony produced on Wednesday by James J.Hill.The Government turned over to a private company 771 miles of completed road, he said, when the public so demanded, as work under the Government was both slow and expensive.The subsidies of $25,000,000 and 25,000,000 acres of land were given for constructing only a part of the road.lt borroweJ $35,000,000 from the Government and paid it back in $25,- 000,000 in cash and 7,000,000 acres of land.The road was opened for traffic in 1886.Mr.Van Horne said the bit of road which cost the Government $35,000,- 000 and was turned over to the company was worth nothing as a bit of property.Just as advantageous a piece could be built for $22,000,000.The item of capital stock, $65,000,000, is correct.It was originally $100,000,000.It was to pay a dividend of 3 per cent.The company borrowed $29,880,000 from the Government at 4 per cent., giving all it had as security.That was in 1884 Afterward it borrowed $5,000,000 more.Tt claimed power to mortgage property by decreasing stock from $100,000,000 to $65,000,000.It reduced its land grant by giving the Government about 7,000,000 acres in lieu of $10,000,000, and also paid the Government $25,000,000.The land grant bonds have been canceled by proceeds of land sales, all but $5,000,000.The Government was paid by land grant sales and proceeds of sale of $35,000,000 of bonds to the public.They sold for 94} to 943.The company had a monopoly of railroad building in the Northwest.It was proposed if the Government would guarantee interest on $15,000,000 of bonds for fifty years to cancel the monopoly.This was done.Those bonds, 3} per cents, sold for 93.The\u2019 subsidy on the line from Montreal to Mattawam- keag, which will be opened next month, |.amounts to $186,000 a year.last year.Senator Collum\u2014The total of subsidies, grants, and aids by the Government to the Canadian Pacific amounts, according to our figurds.to $215,361,677.Mr.Van Horn\u2014We do not make it that, According to our figures we received from the Government 714 miles of completed road.It was not worth to the company more than $10,000,000, for it would have taken a different route.It received $35,000,000 and 18,000,000 acres of land.The rest the company paid back.The terminals given to the company on the Pacific were practically worth nothing, Senator Cullom\u2014Your report for 1836 states you received a considerable share of transcontinental traffic, most of it at remunerative rates, Mr.Van Horne\u2014We gota good deal of passenger traffic, but very little freight.The tea trade was good the first year, and is sufficient to keep running a line of steamers of 27,000 tons between Hong- Kong, Yokohama, and Vancouver.We have an arrangement by which the Imperial Government is to furnish a subsidy for a fast line between th Payment ose poits but the contract bas not oor signed.We get 10 or 12 per cent.of the transcontinental trade \u2014 about 10 per cent.That includes the Asiatic trade.The fast line of steamers referred to are to make 17} knots.They are to be fitted to act as war cruisers if needed for such a purpose.The subsidy is to be £60,000 per annum.It will be about evenly divided between the railroad and the steamers.We hope to be able t.take passengers from London to Yok» hama in twenty-one or twenty-two days The time now through the Suez Canal i thirty-eight or thirty-nine days.Acros the Continent the time is now about twenty-eight or thirty days\u2014six days for the Atlantic ocean, six days for across the Continent, and sixteen days for the trip from Vancouver to Yokohama.The Pacific Railway was built to make THE MONTREAL HERALD AND DAILY COMMERCIAL GAZETTE SATURDAY.MAY 11 money for its shareholders, and for no other purpose under the sun.Senator Cullom asked if before the Dominion Government permitted the Manitoba Government to build a connection from Winnipeg to join the Hill system the Canadian Pacific did not compel it to pay a bouus to the latter.Mr.Van Horne said the Dominion simply guaranteed the interest on $15,000,000 of 3} per cent.bonds.Mr.Van Horne was asked the total cost of 714 miles given to it by the Government, it cost, he said, $153,000,000.The actual cash money on the road, exclusive of the 714 miles, was $120,000,000, of which $85,000,000 was private capital.He was asked to tell the earnings of the road.The gross receipts last year were, he said, $13,193, 535.The net earnings were §3,- 870,774.These figures included the earnings of the lake steamers.The earnings per ton per mile last year were 12-100 cents.There was little difference in the rates of through and local freights.The road had carried two or three consignments at less than cost from the Pacific coast on account of a tax inflicted by the Northern Pacific.The : road acted with a full understanding With the other transcontinental lines.The latter had an association.The road conformed.to the provisions of the inter- State law, whether the goods were carried from an American to a Canadian point, or from an American point to an American point.For about two weeks, during a war, the Canadian Pacific carried goods to the far Northwest.Not an agent was sent south of the international boundary.until the agreement was broken by American lines.Then the Canadian Pacific hurled a stone through the French plate-glass windows of its neighbours, and made matters as hot as possible until they all came together again and shook hands.Now they worked in peace.Mr.Van Horne had never considered the American lines their real competitors for Asiatic trade.The chief competition was by the Suez Canal route.The Canadian Pacific never expected to compete with the Suez Canal in carrying English teas, which come from China.So far as Great Britain was concerned, the road relied upon its passenger traffic.The line of steamers that ran between \u2019Frisco and Vancouver was an American line, and had been running before the Canadian Pacific was built.The Doxminion paid it a subsidy for carrying the mails.Senator Gorman\u2014What do you mean by observing the Inter-State commerce law?Mr.Van Horne\u2014We carry freight from American points to American points, from American to Canadian points, and Canadian to American points, according to the law.Every agent is under instructions to this effect.We publisho ur rates, We are liable to punishment for infraction.We have no higher intermediate rate than from the States to States\u2019 points.We did not voluntarily observe the long and short haul clause within Canadian Territory, but counsel informed us that according to the law we were compelled to do so.Senator Gorman asked to be provided with lists of Directors, copy of leases and other details of all roads controlled or owned in the United States by the Canadian Pacific.Mr.Van Horne promised to furnish them.He also stated that all subsidies were granted to the road that ran from Lake Nipissing to the Pacific coast.The Northern Pacific, an easier line to construct, got 46,000,000 acres of land.No subsidy was given to the Ca aa.dian Pacific for roads that competed with American roads.There was not a day in the vear, Mr.Van Horne said, when the Canadian Pacific could not be operated.Not an hour had been lost last year.The snow sheds were really cedar tunnels.They cost as much as $300,000 a mile.Saven or eight of them cost $4,000,000.There were 5,291 miles in the road.It was a shorter road from New York to Vancouver than any of the Chicago roads to Puget Sound.All things considerad, he thought the Canadian Pacific was able to hold its own.Committee and witness were on very good terms before Mr.Van Horne finished his testimony and gave place to an American railroader.SPORTING

New York, Mav 9th, 1889.The regular season is drawing to a close.This is true of society and of amusements.An irregular season, 1 think I hear some one whisper, must have been recently born, for no sooner has the curtain of the Madison Square theatre run down on \u201cCaptain Swift\u201d than it is run up on \u2018\u201cFeatherbrain.\u201d At least this was the situation on Monday when I went to witness the much- talked of and new attraction, with Miss Minnie Maddern in the title role.The three act farce-comedy is from the French of Messrs.Barriere, Delandes and Gondinet, adapted for the English stage by James Alberry.The place is London, period, the present, time of action, one day.A young woman, Mrs.Coney, (Featherbrain) haslost a satchel containing platonic love letters belonging to Valentine Day (Mr.Wm, Farrisham) who has adored her from childhood, and during her married life has still continued acting like a love-sick lunatic.The anxiety which the loss of these epistles causes, is the cause of the ludicrous mistakes in the role of Featherbrain; thus called by the husband Sumuel Coney (Mr.Jas.O.Barrows) because his wife is continually making idiotic mistakes.For by- lay there is ome Ferdinand Pettigrew r.Thos.Burns) who sweetly loves Miss Eurydice Mole (Miss Odette Tyler) a nondescript occupying a \u201csecond floor.\u201d Besides the lover of her childhood, Featherbrain has still another mad admirer, Don Stephano Ruy Gomar, a Portuguese (Mr.Wilton Lackaye).Truth to tell Featherbrain does not requite any of this quantum of passion, and belongs solely to her husband.The role of the Portuguese is splendidly sustained.The entire character, beginning with the make-up, is a masterpiece in its line.Mr.Lackaye thoroughly understands the real bombast of this Latin race, and in giving tke artistic touches of stage exaggeration to the author's excellently well drawn Don Stephano, has put into human action one of the best comedy parts that it has been our fortune to see for many a day.Mr.Lackaye's work received continuous applause, and no actor, in this clever line, ever more deserved raise.The young man has achieved a ig success.Miss Maddern\u2019s role appears very much like that of Lord Dundreary in petticoats.The lithe young actress repeated her words, contradicting herself a la Sothern {pere); and made use of a pair of eye-glasses after the fashion of her seeming attern.The role, as interpreted by Miss Maddern, may be the correct idea, but it was a disappointing one because this young woman is capavle of playing exacting parts with great cleverness, of depicting deep emotions, and of assuming high comedy parts in a most satisfying manner.It is true that there are no gaucheries; that she finishes the role in the manner in which she conceives it; but those who have witnessed \u201c Heatherbrain \u201d (Tete de Linotte) as played by M'Ile.Legault in Paris, declare that Miss Maddern has missed the real idea.The adapter may here be at fault.It is not always possible to catch at a foreign author's mean ing.And if Mr.Abbey dropped the Gallic epeech, Miss Maddern is not to blame for not catching the thread.However, Mr.A.W.Palmer has made arrangements to have Featherbrain remain on tbe boards of the Madison Square Theatre for several weeks.From the hearty manner in which the rattling, rollicking comedy was received on Monday last, it is good for some time, and especially at this dawning summe season.COL.M'CAULL'S NEW OPERA was produced last night at Palmer\u2019s and met a favorable reception.It is Von Suppe\u2019s latest operetta \u201c\u2018 Die Jagd Nach dem Gluck,\u201d called \u201c Clover \u201d in English, for short.The work is in a prologue and three acts, the scene of the prologue being laid in Bavaria and the scenes of the succeeding acts being in a cafe in Paris, a camp in Norway, and a square in Venice.The libretto is by Richard Genu.There are a few waltz songs and two serious songs, I am told, in the opera.Of the work, as a whole, I shall speak next week.The cast comprises the entire company, and, as it is strong and as the artists are accustomed to work together, we expect harmonious results.No amount of expense has been spared to make * Clover\u201d a success.On Thursday evening the Messrs.Armour will produce The Brigands.The libretto is by Mr.Gilbert ; the music by Monsieur Offenbach.Of this I shall teil you later.No less than four theatres will entertain the passing summer guest with comic opera.From this you can judge of the close competition.THE CENTENNIAL ARCH, that was made of pine wood and painted white for the just past show, made such a pleasant impression upon our good and opulent citizens in the vicinity\u2014Wash- ington Square (north) and lower Fifth Avenue\u2014that they moved to have said arch metamorphosed into enduring marble and also with appropriate sculpture.The lively and artistic idea took root\u2014it fell in good ground, and its permanency is now an established fact.I cannot forbear from quoting upon the subject from the Evening Mail and Express the following: \u201cThe beautiful arch that was erected, after designs by Mr.Stanford White, at the lower end of Fifth Avenue, has made such an impression by its appropriateness that the idea of perpet- vating it in a more durable material than wood bas been taken up and is likely to be carried out.\u2018his city has many monuments\u2014mostly statues\u2014at various places, but it has yet no memorial arches.\u201d Subscriptions to the fund for the erection of the Stanford White centennial arch continue to be received by the new committee charged with the carrying out of the plan.This committee consists of thie Art Ccmmittee of Centennial celebration and seventeen additional mem- vers.Henry G.Marquand, chairman; Gen.Louis Fitzgerald, vice-chairman.The sculptured groups, or decorations, will Le of an allegorical character.It is resolved to raise a fund of $100,000 tor arch iteelf, and another $50,000 for the the decorations.The subscriptions now amcunt to $5,000, Including several small | | subscriptions from $1 to $5 each.It is the intention of the committee to deposit a complete list of all contributions in the corner-stone of the structure.Subscriptions may be sent to office of Mercantile Trust Company, 120 Broadway, checks drawn to the order of Wm.R.Stewart, Treasurer.THE AMBASSADOR TO THE COURT OF ST.JAMES.Among all the appointments of President Harrison to the Old World, none is received with more universal favour than that awarded to Robert Todd Lincoln.From his academical years at Exeter, college and law school at Cambridge, he has steadily advanced in his laborious profession.He accepts the embassy for the Court of St.James with a reputation singularly eminent for a gentleman of his years.Being the son of the most illustrious President since the immortal Washington, he has never relaxed from hard work, or yet been deluded by flattering, military pomp or political chicanery.Mr.Lincoln though gladly leaving his country for the most eminent court, yet, as he writes to a par- sonal friend, it is not without sadness.He sails from this city with his wife and three young children on Wednesday 15th inst.In the language of Mr.Dudley Bean: \u2014 \u201cSmooth seas and safe passage attend them.\u201d LITERARY NOTES.The author of * Margaret Kent\u201d who is attracting considerable public notice at present, was born in Southington, Conn., in 1842, but while stilt a child removed to Stratford-on-the-Sumet, a place in which, under the name of \u201c High Elms\u201d a part of the scene of her latest book \u201cA Daughter of Eve\u201d is laid.\u201c Henry Hayes\u201d was the nom de plume of Mrs.Ellen Warner Olney Kirk, of - Germantown, Pa., the wife of John Foster Kirk, the historian author of \u201cCharles the Bold,\u201d and ediior of the works of W.H.Prescott.Though Mrs.Kirk\u2019s desire to write came when she was about sixteen years old, she never dreamed of publishing what she wrote, nor did she Wish anyone to read a line of it.Her delight (continues the Book Buyer for May) was purely a private, personal enjoy ment.Mrs.Kirk, continues my informant, wrote scarcely anything after she grew up until after her father\u2019s death in 1872, when the impulse returned.In 1875 a serial story, \u201c Love in Idleness,\u201d was accepted for serial publication in Lippincott's Magazine, and this was the definite beginning of Mrs, Kirk\u2019s literary career.Mrs.Kirk\u2019s theory of fiction is thus stated : \u201cItry,\u201d she says, \u201c to describe life as I have seen it and know it best.I endeavour to be true, above all, in insight into character and motive.Fiction is not history, no is it biography.It is our artistic form for the embodiment of observation of and insight into human life.Absolute realism seems ts me out of the question, as fiction is a joint product of experience and imagination, and the characters and their actions thus projected must in one mode or another e idealized.\u201d Mr.Christern, the foreign bookseller of 254 Fifth Avenue, has just sent your correspondent his latest catalogue.In the department of history is Boiteau (Paul), \u201cEtat de la France en 1789,\u201d 2e edition, ornee du portrait de l\u2019auteur, avec une notice par M.Leon Roquet et des annotations de M, Graesoraille.\u201cLettres Inedites de Talleyrand a Napoleon, 1800-1809,\u201d publiees d\u2019apres les originaux conserves aux archives des affaires etrangeres, avec une introduce tion et des notes par Pierre Bertrand.Meyners d\u2019Estrey (Henry), \u201cLa Sou.verainite du Peuple,\u201d etude historique et critique.In literature, Maupassant (Guy de), \u201cLa Main Gauche.\u201d Mor-selet (Ch.), \u201cPoesies Completes,\u201d edition definitive.Silvestre (À.), \u201cContes a la Brune,\u201d \u201cUn Premier Amant.\u201d Zed., \u201cParisiens et Parisiennes en Deshabille.\u201d THE LATEST FASHIONS.As the Easter season of weddings still lingers, we may add a few supplementary notes upon the wedding garb and accessories.An empire wedding costume, one of the handsomest worn this season, was made of duchesse brocade satin, having a trailing vine of roses running throagh the centre of the pattern; of this the train was made.The front of the gown was of empire net, embroidered with roses of white ribbon; the sleeves were | in the extreme Rembrandt style, puffed at the shoulders ; the neck of the dress was ornamented with venetian points of silver \u2014 the whole finished with a white sash starting under the arm, crossing the body and falling in a gracefal cascade of fringe at the right side.A mother\u2019s gown at a wedding may be a rich directoire costume of old rose amd white royal brocade.A SPRING GOWN OF BENGALINE is a better selection than & gros-grain; it is much richer looking and falls into more graceful lines.A beautiful colour to select is a faint shade of reseda, the prettiest of green shades, and it may be made up as follows: The portion of the skirt that shows is full, and is heavily shirred across from side to side, the fullness being thus disposed regularly.The tablier is quite short on one side, 80 as to show the shirred portion of the skirt, but after the wrinkles are arranged in the front, it is draped in a long, straight line, In the back the loopings are full and display the material to good advantage.The bodice is in the Empire style and is quite plain in the back, while the fronts have ornamental fronts laid in soft, surplice folds that draw away and display fronts of rose crepe de Chine, The sleeves are full and are laid midway in plaits, being finisbed with deep cuffs overlaid by outer cuffs of coarse lace.Over the high collar is a stock of pink ribbon, and about the waist a broad girdle of rereda ribbon is drawn in soft folds and fastened in loops or ends at one side.A combination costume just made up shows a handsome and popular contrast.For the costume was used red and black striped silk and fine black cashmere.The skirt is uncovered at the front and sides by a full drapery of the striped material that is gathered and plaited at the top and {alls in natural foids to the edge.The over-dress coat is of cashmere and is fitted closely to the figure, it is long and falls in straight lines at the back and sides, with just enough fulness in the back to look well.In front iv is cut off in jacket fashion, and between the fronts is displayed a waistcoat of striped gocds, a gore being joined to the right frent-portion and the parts so cut that the stripes from each side meet and form points.The broad revers near the throat are of the silk.Upon the coat sleeves are large cut-jet buttons and ccrds seeded with jet looped in fanciful fashion over their loops.On each side of the jacket portion are set three of the sparkling buttons, and just where the Jacket would button the cord is drawn across in loop fashion.With this gown is worn a black net bonnet that is trimmed with a monture of red flowers and has red ribbon ties.YA VERY DAINTY TOILETTE \"has a skirt of warm brown moire made Children Crv for Pitcher's Castoria.up quite plainly, and over this is worn a long Directoire coat of cashmere the same shade.The bodice portion of the coat is double-breasted and is closed with large cut-steel buttons; the long tails, which are lined with silk of a lighter shade fall in straight lines at the sides and back, and, not being joined, show the silk skirt very effectively.The points are turned back to form revers that are faced with brown velvet, and the high collar and the cuff facings on the coat-sleeve are also of velvet.Between the revers is seen a plastron of the cloth, covered with steel pasgementerie, a row of passementerie ornaments that portion of the collar completing the neck of the plastron.The use of steel with the mode and lighter brown shades is a French idea, and is really effective, as the warmth of the brown tones tends to counteract the chilling effect of the steel and make it becoming.A CLOTH GOWN OF TINY SHEPHERD'S PLAID, The skirt is quite plain, the long, full drapery being looped just emough at each side to give a wrinkled effect to the tablier; in the back are several bour- nouses that stand out well and retain their lines to the edge of the skirt.The basque is a postillion in the back, curves over the hips and is slightly rounded in front.Of the overlapping, coat-lap at the termination of the center seam is a row of small buttons crochetted with blue silk.In front is a vest of light- yellow cloth closed from the throat to the lower edge with crochetted buttons of the same shade.A large collar of plain blue cloth that has a seam at the back joins the front and forms revers that taper to points at the waist-line ; the high collar of the vest shows above it at the back, The coat sleeves have cuff facings of the blue cloth.A togue of blue siraw trimmed with blue silk and \u201cragged robbins \u201d is worn with this toilette, and the gloves are of a yellowish shade of tan undressed kid.The blue umbrella bas a curiously carved handle of ivory and gives an air of trimness to the toilette.LATEST WHIMS, Fringes and handpainting are features of the new parasols, One beautiful specimen is covered with a creamy white silk and edged with a white silk fringe like that on the old silk and cashmere shawls, now so fashionable, many inches in length.One very new design is of black silk, painted with large straggling passion flowers.Jet binding and decoration is the further decoration, which is put on in bands without regard to what spray, may be crossed, or what flower partially hidden.The printed muslins, showing pink and blue figures on a white ground, are made up into shirred parasols to wear with morning gowns in the country and and at the sea-shore.White muslin is accordeon piaited and gotten up likewise, sometimes with deep flounces, embroidered in delicate colors.When the parasol handle is too long for packing it is jointed like a fishing- rod.An entirely new pattern of the silk gown has five straight breadths falling from neck to foot and only confined by a yoke girdle that is pointed in front, opan V shape in the back, then comes down under each arm and makes a girdle something below the waist line in front, which is held together with some flamboyant bowe.Belts, sashes and girdles are universal.One can hardly go astray no matter how they are put on, but much the handsomest way of wearing them is draped rather below the waist and fastened in a soft, full bow, with long ends upon the left hip or slightly back of it.Pointed Swiss girdles of big jet beads are among the things designed to beaa- tify gowns of black lace and net.They come also in gold cord, with collar and epaulets to match, to be worn with silk blouses of black, red and green, The \u201c Martha Washington \u201d fichu is simply a square of mull, net, gauze or lace folded cornerwise, rounded a little at the back and edged with a frill of good lace.Irish poplin, though not yet a favourite with the world at large, is very much used by the ladies of fashion.The black cloth naval cap with small peak of leather, will be the proper thing tor the girl of the period when yachting.Military style of trmming and braiding waists and jackets continues to be fashionable.;

Proceedings at Cookshire on Thursday.\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 LIBERALS AND CONSERVATIVES MEET And Discuss the Political Situation and the Remedies 0 EACH FROM THEIR OWN POINT OF VIEW.ry The nominations in the County of Compton\u2014the County, which has returned so often in the pastthe Hon.John Henry Pope\u2014took place at Cookshire on Thursday afternoon.There was present quite a respectable gathering of the electors of the county, principally, however, from Cookshire and vicinity.In this connection the electors from the other side of the County principally claim that they were not given a fair show in the matter of notice, or they would have been present in much larger numbers.As a consequence the meeting was largely Conservative, for what else could one expect from residents of the neighbourhood.However, although they were not disposed to receive with very much favour ths Liberal speakers, those gentlemen, by their eloquence and lucid reasoning gained a hearing, and an attentive one in spite of the fact that the sympathies of the majority were against them.The nominations and speeches were announced and given from the verandah of the Court House in the village.Registrar Orr, the returning officer, declared the nominations closed at two o'clock, and announced that he had received two properly qualified nomination papers.One was for Mr.Munroe, of the town of Berry, proposed by C.C.Swanson, a prominent temperauce man of the vil lage,and others, and the other for Mr.R.H Pope, of Corkshire, proposed Wm.Hy Learned, Mayor of the village, and others.After this announcement and the reading of the writ the speeches were commenced.Mr.McIntosh, M.P.P.for the county, was Chairman, and among those on the latform were the following :\u2014Hon.essrs.Laurier, Chapleau, Taillon and Lynch, and Messrs.Hall, M.P., Fisher, M.P., Colby, M.P., Ives, M.P., and the two candidates, Messrs.Munroe and Pope.mong the prominent electors were Messrs.L.A.Farewell, Spafford, Noble, Bailey, Hackett, Sawyer, ex-M.P., Bliss, French, Pomery, Dr.King and others.Messrs.L.A.Belanger, Q C.,, and John P, Noyes were also in attendance but did not speak.The Chairman announced that each side would have two hours in which to explain their views, called upon the meeting for a fair hearing for all and concluded by introducing the Conservative nominee Mr.R.H.Pope.THE CONSERVATIVE NOMINEE, Mr.Pope was slightly lame, the result of a fall from a horse.He is an intelligent looking young gentleman of free and easy appearance and wore on Thursday a sombrero adjusted Texas fashion with a slant over the right optic to exclude the strong rays of the sun.He spoke in a forcible manner, assisted by frequent references to notes which he had in his hand, and evidently had the sympathies of the meeting from the familiar greetings which he received on mounting the hustings.This fact alone was sufficient to show the complexion of the meeting.After a proper and fitting referencs to tbe sad event which had led to his candidature, Mr.Pope went on to say that the choice on the 26th had been unanimous, and that he therefore could not refuse.Thus fairly started he indulged in the satisfaction of having a slap at the principles of his opponent by stating in emphatic tones that he had no two-sided policy.Thus warmed up, Mr.Pope went the whole length, and wound up this portion of his oration by the statement that he was there to support Sir John A.Macdonald, and whatever policy that gentleman advocated, or words to that effect.He went on to qualify these statements so as not to altogether estrange whaleves temperance hearers he might have, by Btäs!Ng that whenever the majority in Parliament declared for prohibition, the tem- erance electors of Compton would find Bim on the right side.After giving his hat a farther pull over his left eye, Mr.Pope proceeded to go baldheaded for those who questioned the present solidity of the Tory: party.Raising his voice into resonant tones, he denied this and said something about \u201cthe glorious victories of the past,\u201d etc, being repeated over again.His reason for believing this was, to use his own words, \u201cthat every grand act of the Legislature is the work of the Conservative party, and so long as our children read their histories it will be engrafting upon them what that party has done.\u201d This, of course, elicited applause.Having thus given his party credit for all that was good, he went on to give the Liberals credit for all that was bad.He admitted that they were not to blame for the trade depression of 1878, but they had refused to do anything to alleviate the sufferings of the poor psople.\u201cThe answer of that party,\u201d said Mr.Pope, emphasized with a soundingthump on the table, which made the water in the jug fly up into Chairman McIntosh\u2019s tace, \u201cwas that they were flies on the wheel.\u201d Having tuned this string he played upon it for a considerable period and piled up more praise for Sir John and what he had done in this connection, .Referring to the National Policy, Mr.Pope trotted out all the old arguments about increased manufactures, the benefit of à near and HOME MARKET TO FARMERS, etc.Passing from the fiscal to the railway policy of the present Government the Tories came in for more praise from Mr.Pope, and then he got to the hardest nut to crack.\u201cWe are manufacturing more goods than we can consume,\u201d said Mr, Pope, \u201cbut the Government in this as in other things is looking after the interests of the people.\u201d This was being done, he continued, by the subsidizing and encouragement of lines of steamers to all portions of the globe.Referenca was made in this connection to the Australian, Oriental, and South American markets, More attacks upon thy Liberal policy followed after this, and the annexation bugaboo and patriotic strings were played upon.According to Mr.Pope, if the Americans could send bullocks and farm produce across to England, sell manufactured eastern goods on their western coast, and pay the cost of transportation, there was very little chance for the Canadian competitor.In this particplar he referred to the difficulty farmers had in stall feeding \u201cHE MONTREAL HERALD AND DAILY COMMERCIAL GAZETTE.SATURDAY.MAY 11 cattle because they could get no corn at reasonable rates.Now they did not need to stall-feed their cattle, for they could be shipped and fed up tothe requisite condition on the other side; but if they had annexation, for that was what the reciprocity cry meant, they would have the disadvantage of the embargo on American cattle to meet, and would have to stall-feed their cattle here, so that they could be killed as soon as they were landed from the ship.Referring to the investment of American capital consequent on freer trade relations, he ridiculed the ldea that Americans would spend their money up here.\u201cXo,\u201d continued Mr.Pope, \u201cI am one of those who believe in our own future, and am prepared to live and die for Canada.\u201d With respect to the fishery trouble he would support a policy that would tend to a more friendly feeling, but he would not give up one fish that we have aright to, and was willing to expend the last drop of blood in preventing it.\u201d Referring to the progress of the country, he claimed that they wera working for future generations, With regard to the future financial policy they would watch carefully against anything that would impair the credit of the country, now so high.While they should not overtax, they should expend the money wanted for the proper development and advancement of the country.Coming to the question of the increase in the debt since 1866, Mr.Pope claimed that the increased per capita was only 50c., which was more than recompenced by the improved condition of the country.In concluding his speech reference was made to Independence, which he did not consider feasible at present, and Imparial Federation, which he characterized as entirely impracticable.Mr.Pope was loudly cheered at the conclusion of his remarks.THE LIBERAL CANDIDATE, Mr, Munroe, the Liberal candidate, followed.Mr.Munroe did not possess the jaunty air of his opponent, but he had the look of a practical business man, and although speaking to an unsympathetic audience, elicited a fair amount of commendation of his remarks.After regretting that through the fault of some one they had been called away from their farm work at the most critical moment, Mr.Munroe proceeded to deliver a® practical and pithy address.The principles which the party, of which he was the candidate, were advocating were no new thing, The fiscal policy which he was in favour of had been tried before and that successfully.There were many of his hearers no doubt who remembered the golden era of prosperity between 1854 and 1866, when they had reciprocity with the United States, and how the farmers had benefited.The exports during the first few years of the agreement had increased from $10,500,000 in 1855 to $19,500,000, or nearly double, and in 1866 these exports of farm produce were $39,500,000.To offset this, what had been the results of the fiscal policy of the Government which Mr.Pope had just said he would support through thick and thin.In 1878, when the Natlonal Policy was inaugu- \u2018rated, the exports of this province were $37,000,000.What had they increased in the ten years up to 1888?Why, only about $2,500,000.They should ask the Government and Mr.Pope this question, and also why the uet debt was increasing by almost $10,000,600 a year.There would be no need of subsidizing steamers if we had reciprocity ; they could find a richer and an open market on the other side of the line if the fiscal policy of the present Government was only reversed.The Liberals had been accused of being annexation- ists.Who were the annexationists in 1849?Who were these gentlemen ?Why, the very gentlemen who wera supporting the Macdonald government today.(Hear, hear.) * They would go in for annexation to-day if they were not in power and had the division of the plunder,?added Mr.Munroe, amidst laughter.He was sure that the farmers of Compton county did not approve of this, and they would tell Pope, Ives & Co.that they bad enough ot such transactions as tbe Hereford railway business.Some ofthese men who were now loudest in their support of the Government candidate, had come to him beseeching that he would use his influence with the Quebec Government and induce them to interfere because the Ottawa Governmant would do nothing.Continuing, Mr.Munroe went on to say that he was a Prohibitionist and not like Mr.Pope, pledged to support his party at ali hazards, whether it wont against his principles or not.No, he would not bea Liberal, ifhe was.Mr.Pope had spoken of the advancement of the country.He was sorry to say anything against it, but the facts were that the debt had increased enormously, until it was now $7.33 perhead, as against $19.83 in the United States.He could not understand where Mr, Pope got his G5ic per head figuré, wlien tie aebt had increased ninefy-three millions during the last ten years, and was now twenty-three millions.He could not understand it, or the fact that notwithstanding all the talk about the N.P.the Magog Print Works had to sell out at 50 cents on the dollar.The reason of all this was that Sir John wanted to favour the few manufacturers who were prepared to put their hands into their pockets at election times and shell out.THE MEMBER FOR STANSEAD.Mr.Colby, the member for Stanstead, followed.He paid an eloquent tribute to the memory of the late Minister, and appealed to the sympathies of the electors for the present candidate on this account.He then went into the old arzu- ments about the young men being drive to a foreign country under the Liberal regime, and said that the young candidate \u2014 whom he complimented on his speech\u2014had put things properly before them when he had emphasized upon the benefits of a home market.Continuing, he tried to throw cold water on Mr.Muaroe\u2019s arguments in favour of reciprocity by stating that during the agreement of 1857-66, there was a war in the United States which accounted for the increase.Ha claimed that the result of it would ba that Canada would be made a slaughter market for the surplus production of the States and several other evils which were depicted in the darkest colours.The loyal and patriotic strain was also sounded, Mr.Colby prophesying that they would lose their identity, their influence, eic., etc., if they were to join in withthe United States.TIE MEMBER FOR BROME, Mr.Fisher, member for Brome, who followed in Mr.Munroe\u2019s interest, made one of the ablest speeches of the day.Some of his points were so searching that they occasioned several interruptions from people in the crowd which, however, were made to rabound, through Mr.Fisher's facility in replying to them.After stating that he was quite prepared to take up the glove thrown down by the Member for Stanstead, Mr.Fisher pra- ceeded to discuss the question of reciprocity, a question said he, \u201c which Mr.Pope and the Liberal Conservative .Government\u2014God save the word, for they posed as Liberals as well \u2019\u2014were misrepresenting on every occasion afford~ ed, It was very easy for them to do this, but he trusted that the electors of Cookshire would give them, the Liberals, a chance to make their own explanations.Mr.Colby had just admitted that he was in favor of a restricted reciprocity on the old lines of 1854-66.When he was declaiming against reciprocity why did he not explain his reasons for informing the farmers of Stanstead that the Conservatives wanted the N.P.TO FORCE THE AMERICANS to give us back reciprocity.They had been eleven years trying to bring the Americans to their knees, and now because their policy of taking the Americans by the throat and trying to cosrce them was a failure, Mr.Colby and his party came forward and told them that reciprocity was a bad thing.He would grant that this policy of force had failed, but he would ask his hearers if they were usually willing to yield to coercion.(Cries of No, No, from several) The proper way was the course advocated by the Liberals, to extend the hand of good- fellowship, show them what was for their benefit as for ours, and not try to make a one-sided bargain.(Hear, Hear.) If one of his hearers brow beat and ill-used a neighbour, did he find bim kindly disposed towards him?No! it was not common sense to expect it.The best method was to try a fair exchange.\u2019 This was just what the Liberal party wanted to do.The Conservative nominee had told them that the Americans were sharp, keen traders.This, no doubt, was true, but he thought that the farmers of the County of Compton would refute without hesitation the imputation that they were not as keen as the next man and able to hold their own with anyone.(Applause and hear, hear.) No; it was not so, and was only one of the dodges used to frighten them.Canada had many products which the United States wanted, and vice versa, So that it was simply a matter of fair barter.He would instance our fisheries and the fact that the Americans had paid a large sum for the privilege of fishing in them for a certain number of years.Another cry was THE COMPETITION OF AMERICAN MANUFACTURERS.He would cry shame at these gentlemen, who, with all their protestations of patriotism, insinuated that the Canadian manufacturers cannot turn out as\u201d fine goods as any other people in the world.(Cries of they can.) Yes, they could, and the best evidence of it was that all the honest manufacturers of the country were not afraid of reciprocity, butin favour of it.They should remember this when recording their votes, and also the fact that Mr.Pope had openly boasted before them that his only policy would be to support whatever Sfr John A, did.(Hear, hear.) This was not to be wondered, considering that it was the only policy Sir John would tolerate among his followers.He was glad that the Liberal candidate had not made such a statement of principle and had not pledged himself to support everything which his party advocated, whether he thought it was right or wrong, solely because his party it advocated.The Liberal candidates were only pledged to support a party which would give the lightest taxation possible and an honest administration.An old gentleman in the audience, attired in a straw hat, pantaloons and one suspender, asksd Mr, Fisher, \u201cWhy did you not do it?\u201d He did not wait for an answer.Mr.Fisher continued, \u201cmy friend down there asks why ?I challenge him or any of the Conservative speakers who have preceded me to say that the administration of the Hon.Alex.McKenzie was not an honest one.\u201d Mr.Fisher, continuing, explained the licy of the administration to which he ad referred when some other person in the audience called out.\u201cYou want Free Trade.\u201d This also met with a prompt reply.\u201cI am afraid, said Mr.Fisher, *that the gentleman who just spoke has not studied the question, or does not know what he is talking about.If he did he would know that free trade was never advocated, and that a tariff for revenue purposes alone is neither free trade nor protection.\u201d Continuing, the speaker said that in a country so voung as Camada, absolute free trade was impossible, as the revenues of the country would not permit of it.But they did not want any more duties imposed than was necessary to carry on the affairs of the country.To go about distributing the excess to friends was not the policy of the Liberal party.Although that appeared to be the policy of the Conservatives, he was glad that some of the members of the party had the good sense to see and protest against such a proceeding.Did the Government save this money which they extorted from the people?No! they squandered it by INCREASING THE ANNUAL EXPENDITURE unnecessarily.He had been led away by these interruptions, but he was glad of it, for he had been able to give a few pertinent facts.To take up the thread of his discussion, he had another statement of Mr.Colby\u2019s to refer to.That gentleman had drawn his picture of what reciprocity led to.It was annexation that Mr.Colby seemed to be afraid of,although he did not accuse Mr.Laurier or the Speaker of being annexationists.He would appeal to them not to be led away by this annexation bugaboo.The only fear was that if reciprocity was not brought about, they might be led info annexation, (Hear, hear.) They had all the elements which went to make a great nation; boundless resources and a good population, for they found that when Canadians went elsewhere they prospered and rose to positions of trust.He referred to our form of Government which he said was good, but shouid he conducted on true business principles.Referring to annexation, he said there were many dangers to guard against in such a connection for the United States had many evils to fight which were not existent in Canada.The best thinkers in the States, themselves, recognized this, but they believed as he did that the people were ready to meet the Canadian people on a friendly basis.Their endeavours should be put forth to secure this result.Mr.Colby had tried to misrepresent them by calling them commercial uniomsts.This was not so They desired the same reciprocity as had already been in force only in a more extended form.The same gentleman claimed that the new reciprocity was a direct blow at England.She did not object to the old treaty, and would take exactly the same position on the new proposition, which would not affect her any more.It was futile for Mr.Colby to come forward and make such statements.When the Conservative party instituted protection, and England had protested against it, what was the reply of the Toronto organ of the party\u2014he wanted the Conservatives among his hearers who were so loyal to remember it\u2014why, \u2018so much the worse for the British connection.\u201d They ought to applaud this coming from where it did.The difference was just this.It was then the policy that the Tories wanted, and now 1t is the policy that the Liberals want.Mr.Pope had asked how could they send goods to the United States when the United States exports the same goods?How was it that in spite of the duty they exported goods to New England States.and sold them.Simply because the long freight charges necessary on Western goods equalized the disadvantages of the duty.Therefore, if the duty was removed they could sell to so much more advantage, The Eastern Townships COULD CONTROL THIS TRADE in farm products with the New England States because they were blessed with a more fruitful soil.Mr.Colby told them that their farmers could not compete with the Americans.He would answer that they could, and every farmer of Compton County would bear them out.(Hear, hear.) Mr, Pope had pictured the benefits that were to accrue through the subsidizing of lines of steamers and the opening up of new markets.What was the necessity for this if they could getaricher, a more consuming, and a closer market with the 60,000,- 000 of people tothe south.Even if these markets were opened up, how were they going to face American competition if they could not face it at home.In fact, like many other contentions of the Conservatives, it was manifestly absurd.It was not the competition of the United States or any other protective country that they had to fear, but the competition of free trade Old England which now practically controlled the South American market.There was another statement ot Mr.Colby\u2019s which he wished to answer.Mr.Colby\u2019s war dates were a little out.The war commenced in 1861, so that for seven years after the reciprocal arrangement was effected, and before even a war was thought of, the exports bad enormously increased, had, in fact, almost doubled.When the N.P.was instituted it was claimed that it was to protect the farmers as well as the manufacturers.Did they protect the farmers wool?Again, with respect to corn.Mr.Hope had alluded to the difficulty of stall-feeding cattle.Why could they not do £0; simply because the Government that protected the farmers put a duty on corv, which made it an impossibity to feed cattle for the market in à proper way with any hope of profit.The distillers also used corn to make whiskey.How did the Government protect them.Of course they were protected, for all the duty charged on the corn was paid back to them on the whiskey,but the farmerswhen they wanted corn were discriminated against.When a rebate on corn fed to cattle for export was proposed, what did the Government do?Did they pass it ?Ob,no! Every member voted against it.This was the way in which the farmer was protected.Again, on corn seed, a motion had been laid before the Hous to abrogate the duty.But the Minister of Customs had come in with a request that the motion be not passed, as it would be granted.But was it granted?No, the session had passed without any sign, It was the same in every instance where the interest of the farmer was concerned.Not only this, but the money wrung out of their pockets was not spent for the good of the country but upon party favorites.Mr.Fisher here referred inaccuracy of the census returns from the Northwest.Why was it he asked that the population represented in the returns were not there ?Simply because they had been driven across the lines by AN INIQUITUUS LAND POLICY, The returns of the rural population in Ontario and Quebec also showed the great prosperity of the country.How could all this be with the glorious policy so lauded by the Conservative speakers?Because it was a fallacy.The true policy was to allow tke people to work out their interests in natural directions.In concluding he referred to the two candidates who, he said, should be judged upon their merits, Judge upon the man himself and let the past look to itself.The Hon.Mr.Taillioh followed Mr.Fisher in a brief address in French.THE HON.MR, LAURIER then addressed the meeting in English.He complimented the Conservative Candidate on his expressions of filial piety, and said it was but natural that the career of his father would be a guide to the son ; but they had to decide whether a continuance of the policy supported by the deceased gentleman was desirable.Continuing, Mr, Laurier said that the Conservatives had lost power in 1873 for an offense against public morals, which the country could not condone.When tbe new administration cams into power, the country was in the throes of a deep commercial depression, which affected not Canada alone, but the whole world.It was because Sir John had promised in 1877, if he was returned to power, that, as if struck by a magic wand, the land would gush forth the abundant waters of national prosperity that he was returned.Such was the promise made and believed.Men always believed what their desires led them to believe, and when Sir John came forward with Lis promises it was mot like \u201cflies on the wheel,\u201d but as the magician.His magic wand had done one thing effectively, and that was to charm the money out of their pockets.1f the wand was still potent, what about the Magog mills and the blast furnaces at Cornwall ?Was the N.P.for the benefit of the farmers ?(Yes, said a voice.) His friend down there said yes.Faith was a good thing, and when a man believed his belly full it was no use reasoning with him.(Laughter.) He would ask the farmers if they could get as much for their farms as fifteen years ago.Take the Chamberlain farm for instance.Fifteen years ago $20,000 was offered for it, now the owners were willing to take $10,000.If the country was prosperous why could they not retain their population.How many of them among his bearers that had not a brother, son or relative in the land of the stranger because they could mot get employment here.(Cries of \u201cThat's 50.7) One of the avowed objects of the National Policy was that it would create labor and a market for all products.Was this 80?He thought not; and that the electors of the county would bear him out.Mr.Pope had dwelt upon, and Mr\u2019 Colby emphasized, the advantages of a home market to the farmer for his produce, and had cited Sherbrooke as against Montreal in this particular.This was all very true as far as it went; but the consumption of Sherbrooke was only a drop in the bucket to the production of even the County of Compton alone.There was one object, however, that the N.P.had been successful in, and that was the creation of rings and combines, (applause), to extort from the people iniquitous prices.The N.P.had created still another ring in the nose of the Canadian consumer for the combinsters to rifle his pock- es.There were some of the results of the vicious system, which prevented competition from abroad.He would ask every right-minded citizen wLen he put his head on his pillow that night to thoughtfully consider, irrespective of political sympathies, what was for the best interests of his country, and vote in accordance.They had a remedy, in spite of what Mr.Pope might say, and one which had been tried before, in reciprocity.He asked the intelligent men NS present if this period during which reciprocity was in force was not the GOLDEN ERA OF CANADIAN PROSPERITY.He was surprised that Mr.Colby could not understand this.That gentleman had tried to account for this prosperity through the fact that there was a war in the States at the time, but it bad been shown this was not exactly the case.The Conservatives themselves said they were willing to accept the treaty of 1854.He had only to say this, if the Americans were wiiling to give it, he was ready for it.But they were not willing to renew the old treaty.His confreres and himself had reason to believe that the Americans were willing to negotiate an arrangement of unrestricted reciprocity.The Conservative party, however, were not willing to accept this because they claimed it would kill the manufacturers.Well, then, if it would benefit the farming class his choice was made.They constituted seventy per cent of the population; without them no industry could live, as their produce was the source of all wealth, Therefcre, he was bound to stand by the farming class Wealthy farmers would make wealthy manufacturers.Referring to the matter of over-pro- duction, he cited the case of cotton and said it was the best evidence that they required a larger market.Mr.Pope, the Tory candidate, praised the Government for subsidizing lines of steamers to afford facilities for increased trade.That gentleman evidently was willing that they should take the money out of the pockets of the people, but unwilling that the barriers which restricted crade should be removed.He asked them if it was not common sense to go to the nearest and the best market.In a word, he could not help suspecting boodle in their subsidies.The magic wand so highly lauded was a magic wand to take money out of their pockets.(Laughter.) Mr.Laurier went on to refer to the management of expenditure by the present Government, and asked why, if the Government bad paid the claims of the labourers on the Oxford and New Glasgow Railway, they refused to do tbe same in the case of the Hereford Railway.Referring to the case of the former railway, Mr.Laurier called attention to the fact that geveral millions had been granted on the ground that it would shorten the distance forty miles, when by actual measurement the distance was only shortened six and a half miles.Therefore, practically, two millions of dollars were taken from the pockets of the taxpayers to subsidize a railroad six and a half miles long.(Cries of, \u201cHear, Lear.\u201d) This was a sample of bow the money of the country was expended.Mr.Laurier closed his eloquent address by a few remarks in French to the electors of that nationality, advising them to vote for the best interests of the constituency.The Hon.Mr.Chapleau followed in an eloquent address, which consisted of a series of denials and accusations against the Liberal party, whom he accused of being destructionists.He also addressed the electors in French, and the meeting wound up with three cheers for both candidates.e\u2014 REAL ESTATE MATTERS QUIFT.House Renting Slow\u2014Transfers During the Month of April.Mr.J.Cradock Simpson\u2019s Real Estate Record for May states that the prices are higher than those which ruled last - month, especially in the upper western pätt of the city and Cote St.Antoine.A momentary quietness now exists, but it does not denote any backward movement in real estate.At this period last year there was more building going on, but what was being now done was of an improved quality.Solidly constructed buildings were mow wanted, and the house buyer was ready to pay higher prices for a well built, convenient and healthy house.House renting had been slow, but the season was extending, and this was satisfactory, because moving and renting were disturbing elements in the community, and the more the business was spread over the year the bettar.There were 215 real estate transfers in the city wards and Cote St.Antoine during April, as follows

last year.When the tenant went to renew the lease the landlord wanted to raise the rent.The tenant gave the house up, rather than submit to an increase.The same house is not yet let and is entered in

inspector, has prepared his report on the milk coming to the city by rail.Twenty-eight farmers send milk in to Bonaventure station, and this is received by twenty city milkmsn.The rickest averaged 3% and 3} per cent.of fat.The lowest grade registered 23 per cent,, and the average of the whole 833 gallons received per day is 3.32, At Dalhousie square station six milkmen receive from eight farmers.The best sample averaged 3.7 per cent of fat.About 236 gallons are received at Dal.housie square daily.The report on city milk is not yet ready, but some samples taken\u2014from milkmen near Montreal\u2014run up as high as six per cent.The most milk is that from stables inside the city limits, Mr.Drouin will on Monday commence to inspect the dairies in the suburbs, in order to ascertain if things are in propar sanitary condition.Samples of milk will also be taken.He complainsthat when sampling milk on Papineau Road, milkmen coming from Cote St Michel\u2014as soon as they see him\u2014turn back and proceed to the city by way of the Mile End.mette ve ce MARINE NEWS.PO \u2014 MOVEMENTS OF OCEAN STEAMSHIPS Arrived.Off Fastnet, May 9, Germanic, from New York for Liverpool.At
