of 1881, prohibiting the importation into France of American pork and kindred American products.In his letter of transmittal to the President, Acting-Secretary Wharton, of the State Department, gays : \u2018his correspondence discloses the important fact that the French Government now practically bases its exclusion of pork products upon economic instead of sanitary grounds.As this policy of exclusion as a means for the protection of the domestic products of France is applied only to the United States, tbe department has not failed to protest against the discrimination as un- ust.3

the Government to protect the rights of Indians in the Lake of the Woods, who recently ordered an American to vacate the fishing grounds.The slaughter of fish for the American market threatens the principal source of Indian food supply.The American firm operating this lake assert that they do not fish in Canadian waters, but the American Indians, who are also complaining, teil a different story.Last season the catch included 1000 sturgeon weighing over 100 pounds each.If this continues all the fish will soon be destroyed.Mr.Dawson thinks that the Minister of Fisheries will succeed in inducing the American Government to take joint action as part of the lake is in American territory.Lieut.Howard of Gatling gun fame is here.He is in the city on business, being in search of boys to employ in his factory at Brownsbnrg, Que.À point which occupies Mr.Howard's attention is concerned with the forwarding of cartridges in bond through to Mexico.Mr, Howard says he has a large amount of

Failures.New York, Aug.15.\u2014Special telegrame to Bradstreets\u2019 show few changes in either the agricultural, industrial or commercial situation.There have been extensive rains throughout large areas in Missouri, Kansas and Nebraska, but they came too late to repair the damage to the cereal crops, particularly that to Indian corn.Cotton crop estimates are not quite as large as a few weeks ago, while those of wheat, corn, oats and barley are as low as previously reported.Sugar and rice crops promise weil.Fruit yields too are short, and prices higher.After suffering severe depression in the New York Central strike and the disturbed money market, share speculation is again strong and advancing, principally upon foreign buying and expectations that the treasury will in some manner relieve the money market.Bauk clearings at 51 cities for the week ending Aug.14 were 1,092,767,867, a gain over this week last year of 15 per cent.New York city\u2019s clearings ars more than those for the like period last year by 13.6 per cent.The feature of the week is the continued advance in prices for hides and leather.As an outcome boot and shoe makers are actively employed.In Nebraska and some sections adjoining where the drouth has been heavy merchants have countermanded orders for goods fearing the effect of short crops.Iron is growing steadily stronger.Quoted prices are no higher but at this time they are no longer tests of the market.No considerable quantitv of pig iron could be purchased at nominal quotations.The largest individual produe- ers at the East can hardly fill contracts, and stocks in first and second hands are very light.Itis evident that any considerable increase in the demand would resuit in an upward rush of quotations.Wheat, corn and oats have not been affected by unfavorable crop reports and heavy spacu- lative demand, the first named advancing 5 @ 6 per cent.Corn ic and oats fully 6c per bushel.Available stocks have not begun to increase yet.Exports of wheat, both coasts (and flour as wheat) equal 1,993,189 bushels this week against 1,914,000 bushels in the like week of 1889, and 2,166,263 bushels last week, The total exported July 10 to date, 12,917,228 bushels against 11,250,- 000 bushels in a like space of 1889 and 18,653 980 in 1888.July was a mouth of moderate gain in railway earnings when the large increases last spring are considered.[he percentage of gain is slightly larger than that for June.Earnings of 135 railroads for July aggregate $36,752,786, an increase over July 1889 of 8.69 par cent, that month in turn gaining 8.34 per cent over July, 1888.Dry goods continue in satisfactory demand, particularly from jobbers.Southern and Southwest.arn buyers are more nuinerous at the Eastern markets.Re-orders for fall gocds sre reported good by agents.Woolens are in better request, bat nn- changed in price.Wool is steady and unchanged.Cotton is 3-16¢ lower on weak Liverpool advices, slack demand and increasing receipts of new crop.Business failures reported to Brad- gtreet\u2019s are 148 in the United States this week, against 155 last week and 177 this week last year.Canada had 29 this week against 25 last week.The total number of failures in the United States from Jan.1 to date is 6,503, against 7,029 in a like reriod of 1889.erates Interesting Military Ceremonies.St.Jory, N.B,, Aug.15.\u2014This was & big day among the militia of the city.It was the annual inspection of the Fusiliers and Rifles and was of more than ordinary interest by the presentation of the old colors of the St.John City Militia to Trinity for the purpose of draping the bust of Queen Victoria which occupies a position near the Royal Arms, which prior to the Revolution: ary War wes in the council chamber of the old State House, Boston.After inspection the old colors were trooped, à movement the militia performed with credit, afier which the troops proceeded through the principal streets to Trinity Church, where the colors were formally handed over to the Rector of Trinity.The military and religious ceremonies at church were of the most interesting character.The attendance of military gentlemen from all parts of the Province was large and embraced many old veterans.Among those present were Lt.-Col.Bremner, of Halifax._\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 Claiming a Dead Man\u2019s Millions, Herxna, Mont.,

and, in the opinion of those most competent to judge, the days of the rade are numbered, unless steps are taken by the Chinese themselves in the direction of radical reform.The Governor, who is one of the most energetic and liberal-minded of Chinese officials, has, in conjunction with a foreign merchant, procured the services of an experienced planter from India, who is to establish a model tea farm, and endeavor to show the people the advantages of the proper cultivation and manufacture of tea.The idea is an enlightened one, but whether it will be prosecuted with vigor and receive enough official support to ensure its success remains yet to be seen.1t is doubtful also whether the adoption of the most perfect methods can be attended with success, while the inland and export duties on the article continue to be out of all proportion to its value and 8o far in excess of like imposts in all compeling countries.America takes 90 per cent, of the Formosan tea, bat there are indications of a growing change of popular taste in the matter of tea.As Oolongs eeem to he little appreciated elsewhere than in the United States, any change of this nature would be the death-blow of the Formosan tea trade as at present conducted.Hence the schome already referred to is intended to include the preparation of teas of the Indian, Ceylon and mainland types, a market for which will, itis hoped, be found in London and elsewhere, It is merely peculiarity of preparation which produces the variety kuown as Oolong; the raw material is the same as that of Foochow, Hankow and India, and a proper maaip- ulation will produce a tea of precisely similar quality to the Souchongs ani Congous of other tea ports of China.Chicago Grain and Provisions, Messrs.Baldwin & Farnum telegraph Oswald Bros.to-day as follows : Wheat\u2014The opening was dull, and for awhile it looked as though it would be a quiet day.The weakness early was partly owing to lower Liverpool cables, their market being quoted from 3d@1d lower, but the dullness and weakness were both short lived.The advance in silver was the first bull argument presented to-day, and the receipts of winter wheat were rather light.It began to lock as if visible would not increase this week, and towards the close shorts started.This kept the market firm until the clese, which is at practically top prices of the day.Advices from the Northwest are so conflicting that it is hard toestimate the crop,but conservative people seem to think it points to about an average crop, but we have à bail market here, with no one inclined to sell short.Receipts 406,000 bushels; shipments 445,000 bushels: clearances of wheat and flour about 215,000.Corn\u2014It has shown good strergth today.Receipts are not heavy enough to weaken market, which has had a break of 4c from top.Itis not low, but we bave had a big damage to our crop, and with speculation as active as it is now, the market is liable to advance at any time unless we get large receipts.Receipts 401,000 bush ; shipments 316,000 bush ; export 74,000 bush.Oats were very weak early but later were hard to buy, as offerings were light and price advanced a cent.Taking advantage cf weak places to buy, we thinx geod judgment.Provisions\u2014The weakening feature in provisions has been the big receipts of bogs, these coming to-day being of good quality and 5 to 10c lower.Packers are continuons sellers of Jan.product, but market shows little snap and lacks the strength of a few days ago.They are low and if seems quite unlikely that we shall have any great decline.On weak places believe them a purchase.[Special to The Herald.) CurcaGo, Aug.15.\u2014Wheat\u2014Receipts 141 cars.Tnere was good buying on the sensational news that owing to cholera the Russian ports were quarantined.This, it was believed, would increase the foreign demand for American wheat.The close was firm and 1jc higher.Corn \u2014Receipts 397 cars.The firmness was due to the moderate receipts, reports that the rain had ceased falling inthe Corn belt, and the low tempera- | ture in the extreme northwest.The close was 1 per cent higher.Oats\u20142Receipts 353 cars.Heavy receipts caused a weak and declining market early, but during the last hour there was a general buying to cover short sales, which brought the market back to about last night's prices.Provisions were weak up to midday, but firmed up in sympathy with corn during the last hour.The close was 2}c lower for pork, lard and ribs, Close: Wheat\u2014Sept 1053; Oct 104}; Dec 105}; May 1083.pacorn-Sept 483c; Oct 491c: May 3c.Oats\u2014Sept 384c; Oct 36kc; May 39%c.Pork\u2014Sept $11.35; Jaa 812.124, soa Sept $6.15; Oct $6.30; Jan, 0g.gue Sept $5.374; Oct $5.50; Jan > 8 moke the Sohmer Cigar, 10¢ \u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 Lone Jack Tobacco.This tobacco is made in Lynchburg ard is jutended for mixing with other tobaceces that are stronger.A little of the above mixed with Pacea tobacco inakes a delicious smoke.To ba had only at the Vice Regal Tobacco Empo- rum, 134 St James street.Telepnoue 79.THE RETAIL MARKETS What to Buy and What to Pay for Seasonable Supplies.MONTREAL, Friday Aug.15.1n à fow days now the young turkeys will be coming to market.In the present state of habitant morality, and in the absence of any civic by-law to regulate the matter, every bird will be made to weigh as much as possible.Turkeys in bulk are bought by weight.Their beauty, their plampness, their fine bealtby condition, go for nothing to the wholesale buyer.All is brought down to the ons dead level, à mere question of avoirdupois.Of course the seller soon caught on to the idea.Itdid not take him long to find out that filth, garbage, ordure or any litter abont the farm yard weighed just as heavy as sound honest turkey flesh.That is just where the trouble comes in.Turkevs like any other bird should be kept entirely without food for at least 24 hours before marketing.If allowed plenty of water they will not shrink in weight in this time and when killed and dressed will look nice and white and will smell sweet and eatable.For tbe sake of increasing their weight many sellers not only allow the birds to run about and pick up any unconsidered trifles, as usnal, but they are actuall put in sach a position that all other food being deprived them they cram their craws with filth which is there in plenty for that very purpose.Feel the crops of a newly marketed lok Look at the purple black skin that covers the crop.Stand by while the bird is being dressed.A little personal enquiry this way, will convince you that in advocating a by-law to put a stop to this practice of stuming pultry for the; marke! I am seeking what isneces- sary, not only from a gourmand\u2019s standpoint, but from a sanitary point also, This brings me back to my first sentence.In a few days turkeys will be ar- rivicg in large numbers, Shall the pab- lic be condemned to pay honest;{monay for that which injures the meat both in looks and flavor.or will our city fathers bestir themselves and speedily pass a by-law that will bring them into line with every civilized city of Europe and America?Fish dealers say their market to-day wag greatly interfered with by the special permission granted to Catholics to eat meat to-day (Friday) on account of the festival of the Assumption falling on that day.There is something marvellous in the spiritual power of Rome, that the mere whim of the feeble and aged Pope, in his palace prigonjof the Vatican, 4000 miles away, should be able to affect the Montreal markets.As an advertising medinm a papal edict puts the greatest newspapars of the world into the shade.Aye, even the combined newspapers of the world would not be able to publish any sentence that in the course of a few weeks would be \u201c familiar as household words}\u2019 in the mouths of all tongues and all peoples.Yet this simple indulgence, which is of no special importance and remarkable only by being almostwithout precedent.(the only time meat is allowed on Friday is when Christmas happens to fall on Friday) is now being commented on in all countries and almost in every tongue.What would Sapolio or Cuticura or Castoria give for snch an ad.Moats, Beer\u201410¢ @ 15¢ per 1b.Mvurron\u2014~10¢ @ 14c per Ib.Lamz\u201412c @ 15c per lb, VEAL-\u201410\u20ac @ 12e per 1b.Pork\u201410e 14c per lb.SuckrNG Prcs\u2014$1 25@$1 75 each.Ham\u201413c @ 15¢ per Ib.Bacon\u201413c @ 156\u20ac per Ib.SausaGE\u201410c @ 12c per Ib.Fowl and Game.Turkeys, HExs\u201480c@$1.10 each.TuBkEYs, GossLERS\u201413c@l4c per 1b.GEESe\u201410@12¢ por lb, Duers\u201460c@$1.20 per pair.SerixG Ducxs\u201470e(@90c.Fowrs\u201460c@90c per pair.SPRING CurckENs\u201440c@75c per pair.Prczons-30c per pair.Frocs LEcs\u201430c per 1b.Fish.SALMON\u2014 20\u20ac to 25c per Ib.LaxE Trour\u201410c per Ib.Ware Fisr\u2014l0c per lb.PickereL\u201410¢ per lb.Pixe-\u20148¢ per 1b.Dore\u201412c per Ib.Prrcu skinned-\u201410c per 1b.Burunxans skinned\u2014J0c per Ib.Happocr\u20147e per lb.Cop\u2014Sc per lb.STURGEON\u2014I0C per Ib.Brack Bass\u201410c@12¢ per lb.MAsKINONGE\u2014I0c@12c per Ib.Logsrrer\u2014I5c per lb.Frrsu Erus\u201415 @ 30c each.SMoxED Eris\u2014l5c@30c each.FrEsH MAcKFREL\u20143 for 25c.PrrcH i SUCKERS | Rock Bass }5e@25e per bunch.SUNFISH BurL Hzans] Country Produce: Facs\u2014Fine stock, etrictly fresh, 20c \u20ac22c per doz.Case egys, 16c@18c.CREAMERY BuUrrer\u201420c@22c per Ib.Dairy Burrer\u201416c@18c per Ib.CHEESE\u201412c@!4c per 1b.MaAPLE SUGAR\u20148c@10c per Ib.MarLE Syrur\u2014In tins, 70@80c.New Hoxky\u2014In comb, in 1b sections, 15c@17c; two lb sections, 25c@35c.STRAINED HoNEY\u201411lc@123c per Ib.Vegetables and Fruits.PoraTors\u201440c per basket.CaBBAGE~\u201415¢@25¢ per doz.Carror:\u2014156¢ to 20c per doz bunches, Brrrs\u201410e per doz T'URNIPS\u201425c(@30 per doz.ONIONs\u20145c@10 per doz.SMALE ONIONS\u201420c per doz bunches.CuLERY\u201420c(@40 per doz.GREEN BEANS\u20147C per measure.Wax BEaNs\u20147c(@8 per measure, GREEN Pras\u2014 GREEN PEaAs\u2014Shelled, 10c@13 per quart.ParsLEY\u2014I1c¢ per bunch.Cucumsers\u20145c(@10 per doz.Corn\u20147c@10 per doz.Tomarors\u201410c @ 25c per doz.Rausars\u201415c at 20c per doz.BANANAS\u2014 Yellow, 10c(@20c per doz.BANANAS\u2014 Red, 15c@25 per doz, Lrmons\u201425c @ 40c per doz WiLp Cuerries\u20145c per tureen.Pracars(California)\u201430cto 50¢ per doz.Pzacues (Canadian)\u2014l5c@25c per doz.Prums, RED\u201415@25¢ per doz.Puums, Wurre\u201420c per doz.Prums, BLue-15¢ per doz.\u2019 CURRANTS, REn\u201440c@50c per gal.CURRANTS, WurTE\u201440c@50 per gal.CURRANTS, BLACK\u201440c(@50c per gal.GRAPES\u201416¢(@20¢ per 1b.MELons\u2014From 20c each.BLUEBERRIES\u2014Sc per quart.BuvrserniEs (Saguenay )\u201410c per quart.BLACKBERRIES-\u2014SÜc per pail, GoosEBERRIES\u201440c(@70¢ per gal.APPLES\u2014From l0c ner doz.; from 15c per measure.Prars\u201420c @ 25c per doz.Pears (Celifornia)\u201440c@\u20ac0c per doz.\u2014\u2014 16 BANKERS & BROKERg, MacDOUGALL BROS, STOCK BROKERS, 69 St.Francois Xavier Street, ONE SE ES TS ORÇR LEE Qu wes « e, Messrs.Halsted & Yan, ER thelr Agent, viens Ten per cent.margin on the pay Commission for buying of end same tor selling.4 one por oem, \u2014 D.LORN MacDOUGALL & cp, STOCK BROKERS, LonN S MACDOUGALL, MEMB STOCK EXCHANGE!

80 much go that it has magnified the foreign commerce of the Dominion from $204,414,098, which Mr.Bowell reports,to $104,413,000.Even its own theory is knocked endways by this fact.Political exigencies make some journals say queer things.\u2014_\u2014\u2014 fBTuose excellent Conservatives, and professional temperance men, Senator Vidal and Mr.Jamieson, M.P., appear to be very anxious that no more straight prohibition resolutions shall be introduced Into the House of Commons.They make things awkward for the \u2018/ old man,\u201d you know, and are particularly embarrassing to professed temperance Tories who have to choose between supporting the Government and supporting prohibition.These people are Tories first and temperance men when it does nos interfere with their Toryism.The Liberals ought not to bring this matter up at times when the Government find it inconvenient, or words to that effect, said Mr.Freeman, Tory and temperance member for Queens County, N.8.re \u2018Tae Mail says that Sir Charles Tupper and Sir Hector Langevin and Mr, Bender are largely interested in the scheme to build a railway to Labrador.These gentlemen were also interested in the Direct Meat Company.The exact extent to which each was interested has not yet been made known.The Mail also says that had it not been for Sir \u2018Charles Tupper's friendly recognition \u201d (we wordez wbat that means) Canada would not bave got the Chignecto scheme, by which the taxpayers contribute $14, 000 a month for twenty years in the hopes {that a few schooners may be bauled across a neck of land separating \u2018the St.Lawrence from the Bay of Fandy.And if the Canadian taxpayers had not tbeen malcted of $1,500,000 to buy steel rails for\u2018a road owned by one of Sir John Macdonsald\u2019s culleazues, the sale to th PR.could not have heen made on such anexcellent bagis.Bat the Canadian taxpayer is a good nature] acd gene-ous person.When a leading ministerial journal a short time ag> declared that Canada\u2019s great need was the widest possible measure of reciprocity with the United States, its readers could hardly have known that it was proposing something which it thought to be a * scheme to * coerce Canada into commercial subjec~ \u201c tinn to the republic to the south.\u201d A man of business, a farmer, an artizan, whom you will, on being told by an accredited mouthpiece of the Dominion Government that the geed need of the country was the fullest measure of reciprocity, and at the same time hearing from Sir Charles Tupper, then Minister of Finance, that he had proposed unrestricted reciprocity to the United States Government, but that it was thought to be impracticable with à majority of the Senate againat the Government, would not believe that the scheme was one to place us in subjection to the States.Neither will any business nfan, farmer or artizan, unless he be quite devoid of reasoning powers, believe such a story new.If it is true now it was true when Sir Charles Tupper or The Gazette proposed it.It would have been untrue then; it is untrue and ridicalous now.With cotton mills closing because the demand in Canada will not sustain them, with year by year passing without a dividend in sight, and the only hope of saving something froin the wreck being the off, chance of gulling some Eaglist.capitaliete; with farmers on the western prairies complaicing of the restrictionist policy which troubles their country, and demandicg that they be allowed to buy and sell in those markets which offer them the greatest advantages; with British Colombians declaring that their coal and iron are comparatively valueless to them, and that it is not even worth while to open up new beds which are well known to exist, because of the restrictioniet policy of the government ; with these and the evidences of a crippled trade and a spirit of dissatisfaction abroad, the cry of the restrictionists is almost amusing.Where it is prompted by the plethoric monopolist fattening on the prey provided by the government, it is natural and can be easily undar- stocd, but to find a journal fully impressed with the necessity of enlarging cur trade with theStates,suddeniy trying to believe an opposite theory, is something to be surprised at.That is if we may be surprised at anything which depends for its conduct on the weathercock statesmen who pow rule this Dominion.So wsll do these restrictionists know that their theories of inter-Dominion trade are moonsbine, that they are endeavoring to lay out an ancher to windward by sending Mr.Brown to Jamaica, Mr.Jones to the Argentine Republic, and Mr.Wood to Australia to try, or to pretend to try, to create trade with communities whose goods the Government will not allow into the country, except under heavy taxation.If foreign trade is desired, why is trade with the United States persistently choked by the Gove ernment ?If it is not desired, why these trips of Brown, Jones and Robinson ?If it is good it must be at its best with our resrest neighbors; if it is bad, wby sek Australia, Jamaica and the Argentine Republic to deal with ue?The answer is that the country is in the hands of a few monopolists who laugh at these political commercial travellers, and that Sir John, Mr.Colby and their colleagues are the political servants of the monopolists.\u2014_\u2014-a\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 CANADA'S COTTON INDUSTRY.The gloomy report presented by tha directors to the shareholders of the Nova Scotia Cotton Manufacturing Co., at Halifax, à short time ago, and the unfortunate condition of that industrial corporation, have drawn attention to the depreseed condition of Canada\u2019s cotton industry and evoked discussion which can hardly be called a flattering tribute to the protection policy which was intended fo \u201cfester\u201d the cotton and other industries, make the investors therein rich and furnish \u201cconstant employment and good wages\u201d to thousands of happy operatives, Briefly stated the condition of the Halifax cotton factory is this: The mill has just closed its seventh year, six of them without paying any dividends.The net profit for the past year was $5000, but that had to go to reduction of the accumulated debit of $23,000 on the wrong side of the profit and loss account.The total liability amounts to $460,000, of which $333,000 are capital stock, $27,000 for debentures issued last year, and $100,000 owing to tke Bank of Nova Scotia.The estimated assets are $437,000, showing a deficiency of £23,600.The building and plant have depreciated in value, there is considerable stock on hand, though it has been running on short time, and the company finds itself face to face with a crisis.Practically the concern is bank- ropt, apd the victimized shareholders have empowered the directors to dispose of the property in the best way they could\u2014anything seemed better than continued years of suspense without profit.At the meeting it was stated\u2014what is true\u2014tbat all the mills in Canada bad been compelled to run on short time, that all of them had too large a stock of manufactured goods on hand, that only one of them\u2014the Hechelaga mill\u2014had declared any dividend this year, and that the St.John, N.B, mill bad collapsed altogether.The President of the Halifax Co.assigned as the cause of this state of affairs that there were too many wills in Canada, and consequently over-production.The home market and internal commerce of The Gazette do not seem to be equal to the emergency imposed on them by the N.P.The Government organs, or at least some of them, very angrily resent even tbe insinuation that the protection policy isin any way responsible for the troubles of the cotton industry.Well, facts are stubborn things, and the people of Canada can draw their own inferences from a plain statement of facts.When it was proposed to foster Canadian manufacturing industries by means of à protective tariff, Hon.Alex.Mac kenzie and those who supported him pointed ont tbat attempting to develop such industrieg by artificial methods was a dangerous policy; that our market was too limited to warrant any large development which could be profitably maintained ; that while the policy might be attended with success for a few years, it would in the end result disastrously, involving loss to capit- aligts, injury to those dependent upon the protected industries, and serious derangement and disturbance of business generally.The cotton milis in existence in Canada previous to 1879, established under the operations of a moderate revenue tariff, made money, and paid good dividends under that policy.For the first two vears after the adoption of the N.P., the mills then in operation paid enormous dividends.This had the effect of attracting abnormal amounts of capital to the cotton industry.Moneyed men acted as if there were * millions in it.\u201d People who had small sums laid away for the proverbial rainy day were tempted to invest their hard-earned savings in cotton stock, in anticipation of receiving enormous dividends compared with the three or four per cent.they were getting from the banks.The inevitable result followed.Old mills were enlarged; new mills were built; handreds of thousands of dollars were invested in brick, mortar and machinery; and the god-fathers of the N.P.cried in ecatatic tones, \u201cbehold, how good is the work of our hands.\u201d But the N-P- circled home market failed, over-produc- tion on a large scale ensued, cotton stocks depreciated in value, for the last seven years dividends have been few and far between, and the poorly paid operatives bave been compelled to live from hand to mouth, never certain of steady employment, and always confronted with the spectre of enforced idleness and a struggle for bread.At last those who shouted most loudly for the N.P.are compelled to admit that there are too many mills in Canada, that there is heavy over-production and consequently stagnation, that surplus stocks cannot be sold in foreign markets except af serious loss\u2014in short that Canada\u2019s cotton industry is in a very depressed condition with not a ray of hope for the future so far as the influence of the N.P.18 concerned.There can be no disputing the fact, the protective policy fastened upon Canada by Sir John Macdonald and the Tory party has practically destroyed a once flourishirg cotton indusiry and worked loss and injury to everybody interested in or dependent upon it.We state this without fear of successful contradiction, and on the substantiating authority of a levelheaded business man who has invested à good many tens of thousands of dollars in the cotton industry, and who further says he knows the owners of Canada\u2019s cotton mills would be glad to sell out for fifty cents on the dollar.When in 1873 Hon.Alex.Mackenzie foretold in general terms the difficulties that have now overtaken the highly protected cotton industry as the result of coaxing capital from natural channels by offering those in certain industries tke privilege of taxing the people, Tory politicians derided him and Tory journals sneered at the man who was too honest to sell his pria- ciples for the purpose of retaining power.The most of them, if they had the courage to make an honest confession, would frankly admit that the veteran statesman was right when ke opposed the fastening of the protective policy on Canada, Now let us look at a healthier industrial picture.It is the record for the three months ending July 1, of the cotton industiy in Great Britain, where they are struggling along under what Canadian Tories are accustomed to call the baneful inflvence of free trade\u2014the people of that country teing apparently too benigbted to appreciate the blessings of protection, which we are enjoying in Canada- A recent issue of Bradstreets gives 8 report of the profits of nineteen mills in Lancashire for the three months mentioned.All of them made a profit and all of them but two ceclared a dividend for the three months.The lowest dividend was five per cent, and there was only one such case.Two declared 8 per cent.; one 9 per cent.; eight 10 per cent; one 10} per cent.; one 11} per \u201cent; one 12 per cent, and two 124 per cent.Would not Cauadian cotton mill men be bappy if they could get even a two or three per cent.dividend, to say nothing of eight or twelve per cent ?Great Britain\u2019s cotton industry seems to be getting along wonderfully well vader free trade.So far they do not appaar to bave any need of protection.The Halifax Chronicle draws an instructive contrast between the cotton indastry in the two countries, saying: \u201cLook upon * this picture and then upon that, aad \u201c vote for the N, P., and no profits\u201d: CANADA.ENGLAND.Froteetive policy, England, free trae, too many mills, over profits, dividends, production, running looms running fuli op short time, stagna- hours, producers sold tion, no dividends, ahead, prosperity.prospect\u2014sell out or make, a combine to fleeca the public.But the cotton industry of Canada is vottbe only induetry tha: is soffering from an overdose of the national policy.A good many otber industries are suffer- ; ing\u2014from exceesive home compatition, from taxes on their re w material, &c.,\u2014 | but in most cases the proprietors say | very little about their troubles except | ' i to confidential friends; they bave not the courage to admit that they bave been made the victims of misplaced confidence in the protection fad, and prefer to suffer in silence.They will not, however, contribute anything more to the Government election fund, and when voting time comes round they are not likely to mark their ballots for the combine candidate.Other industries, ifthe protection policy is continued a few years longer, will meet the fate of the cotton industry.Exorbitant taxes on raw materials, increased cost of production, and over-production will inevitably work out the same result.Millions of locked-up, idle and unproductive capital will tell the tale of loss\u2014ruin in some cases\u2014wrought by the mischievous policy of hot-housing the manufacturing industries of the country and bonusing a few pet capitalists at the expense of the trade and consamers of the Dominion.How long do the people of Canada propose to continue an \u201c economically wrong\u201d system which, vampire-like, is sucking the life's blood of the country and placing serious obstacles in the way of its steady and healthy development ?INCREASED INDEBTEDNESS.A Nava Scotia barrister has been investigating the mortgage indebtednees of Nova Scotia, aud produces snme startling figures covering 1888 and 1889.The number and amount of encumbrances put on record in 1888 were as follows :\u2014 mortgages, 1836, aggregating $1,664,369; bills of sale, 1926, aggregating $683,706; judgments, 1506, aggregating $441,909.Total incambrances, 5268, argregating $2,789,984.This represents a recorded incumbrance in that province of $6.33 per head of the population.For 1889 the record was: 2095 mortgages, $1,698 134; 1985 bills of sale, $507,320; 1,332 judgments, $389,107; total, 5412 incam- brances, $2,594,561; or $5.87 per head of the population.The amount of indebtedness discharged \u2014taking the actual record of released mortgages and doubling the recorded releases of bills of sale and judgments\u2014is placed at $1,119,105 for 1888 and $1,444,- 966 for 1889.Deducting these amounts would leave the net increase of indebtedness at $1,670,879 for 1888 and $1,149,- 595 for 1889, or a total for the two years of $2,820,474.This is equivalent to an increased indebtadness of $6.44 per head in the two years.This, it must ve ad- mittec, is a rather serious exhibit, show- irg that under the cover of what is regarded as substantial prosperity a good deal of business is transacted which indicates the reverse of that condition.It is quite probable that in this matter of increased mortgage indebtedness the situation in Nova Scotia pretty accurately illustrates the situation in the other Provinces.\u2014;- MINISTERIAL CHANGES.A good deal of talk is currrent respecting changes in the Provincial Cabinet, and the names of coming Ministers are confidently spoken of.Among the changes talked of is that Mr.Tarcotte is to resign the Attorney-Generalship and be made Sherif of Three Rivers; that Mr.Marchand, the present Speaker ,is to become Superintendent of Education in place of Mr.Ouimet ; that Mr.Watt or Mr.Cameron will be Speat- er of tbe Assembly, and that Mr.Fitzpatrick will entor the Cabinet and take a portfolio.It is quite possible that some of these changes may be made, but we believe nothing of the kind has been definitely decided upon.A private despatch from Quebec says, \u201c All rumors are simply talk.The Ministars start for Montreal on Monday and a Cabinet meeting will be held on Tuesday, when prospective changes in the Cabinet may possibly be decided upon.\u2019 a} GAZETTE: Does any one suppose Canada to be less.prosperous because her cotton goods are manufactured at Montreal, or Cornwall, or Valleyfield, or Halifax, or Hamilton, instead of Manchester or Lowell ?You had better ask the shareholders of the Nova Scotia Cotton Company.Some of them may think they would have been better off had they purchased their cotton abroad, acd not used their money trying to manufacture it.\u2014 \u201c AND seeing that \u2018he largest and most important part of our foreign trade is doue with the United Kingdom,\u201d &e., says The London Free Press.Mr, Car- ling should send his journalistic friend a copy of the Trade and Navigation Tables, in order that he may learn that our trade with Great Britain last year amounted to $80,422,515, whersas our trade with the United States fizured up $94,059,844.-\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 Palpitation ofth3 h>r\"t, nervousness, trem blings, nervous headache, cold hands and feet, pain in the back, and other forms of weakness are relieved by Carter\u2019s Iron Pills, made specially for the blood, nerves and complexion.246 ARMOUR\u2019S Celabrated Canned Meats No Wholesale Grocery stock 18 now consid.ared rotmiplete without a full assortment ot Aisisurs Celebrated Canned Meats, Comprising Corned Beet, nln 21h, 41h, 81b., and 14 1b, Tina.Also, Lancet \u2018Tongue, Ox Tongue, Chipped Dried #2 Bouelcss Pig's feet und âne English brava.STOCK HELD BY Caverhill, Mazhes & COI.Chaput, Fils & CO.Convze C'intds & CO., 1.tatton \u20ac Co, Hudou, riebert & Co.Kintorh, Giudsay & Go, laekeroy Bros, J.AL Mathewson & Cou N.Quinta & Fils, Hu = 3 vor, te Ze.T+itresne à M'inrenais MY ulon & Orsali, W ooivsale Trade Supplied ny JAMES ALLEN, 6 Nt.Nicholas Street, Tuy the ARMOUR LARD and ARMOU \u201cok HAMS aod BACON.iv Carsley\u2019s Advertisement SATURDAY, AUGUST 16TH Early Closing.During August our Stores will close daily at HALF-PAST FIVE, except SATURDAYS, when we close at ONE O'CLOCKS.CARSLEY'\u2019S, Trimming Department JUST RECEIVED NEW TRIMMINGS FOR COMING SEASON LATEST PARISIAN STYLES CHOICEST DLSIGNS 8.CARSLEY.SILK TRIMMINGS IN GREAT VARIETY JET AND BTEEL TRIMMINGS GOLD AND TINSEL TRIMMINGS EVERY SHADE AND PATTERN TO BE OBTAINED AT S.CARSLEY\u2019S JUST IMPORTED NEW ORIENTAL FANS FOR WALL DECORATIONS BRACKET FRINGES IN ALL COLORINGS 8.CARSLEY Ask Your Grocer for Tetley\u2019s Tea CARSLEY & CO.\u2018Wholesale Agents, Montreal, (LAPPERTON\u2019S SPOOL COTTON!

Montreal-Shamrock Match of Next Saturday.Lacroese lovers have already tarned their topic of conversation to the coming lacrosse match between the Shamrocks and the Montrealers, which takes place on the Montreal grounds on Saturday next, Aug.23, and rife speculation is going on as to who will win.The Shamrocks seem to be favorites, in consequence of their improvement in play since the beginning of the season, but on the other hand the Montreal supporters have great confidence in their old stand bys who they believe will have no difSculty in defeating the Shamrocks.The latter are practicing bard and play a winning game, whereas the Montreal- ers are not doing very hard work, some of the men being unable to practice since the Cornwall game.Wilkison\u2019s arm will not permit him to play, and the team will probably lose this plucky player for the 23rd.Elliot and Michaud will again get into condition, and it is said several Juniors will be put on the team.It is rumored that in consequence of his conduct on the field at the Cornwall-Montreal game, Spriggins will not be on the team again this season.Crescents vs, St.Gabriels.The match between these two clubs on the Crescent grounds this afternoon will certainly be a fine exhibition of ia- crosse and ought to attract a large audience.The Crescents are putting on the same team as played during the season and are confident of winning.On the other hand the St.Gabriels will make every endeavor to win the game as it is the last they playwith the Crescents this year, The game will begin at 3.30 o'clock.\u2018Junior

backers, and quite a round sum of money changed hands on the result.The race was fifty yards, and when Referee Mellon sent the men off, Mayling took the lead, and came ina winner puffing and blowing hard.The exertion was too much for Arthur, but his friends think he can defeat Mayling, and backed their words with $100, The offer was not accepted, however.The Manhattan Club.The Manhattan Athletic Club is meeting with gratifying success in the organ- jzatlon of its lacrosse team.Mr.Marson, the director of lacrosse, is being ably seconded in his work by Mr.Royal Ben- net, late captain of the

building of railroads have almost regenerated the country, Trade is materially increasing, tLe value of land is going up and the natural sources of wealth begin now to be developed.There is yet a vary large field for improvement, but the progress #0 1ar made is very enconragiug.Puab- lic credit has been restored anu the où- ligations of the country command now aimest par value, and plenty of capital is found for any profitable investment.\u201cSeveral trunk and branch lines of railways are now under construction, and before long the remotest and richest sections of the country will be reached and their resources can then be fully developed.Three internceanic lines are now being built.Building railways, besides developing the natural resources of Mexico, increases the power of the government to maintain peace, which has already lasted fifteen years.The elements in favor of peace are increasing every day and after a iapse of a few vears it will be as difficult to Start here a

the fisheries protection service.The affair came about this way:\u2014 Some weeks ago a fisherman's boat was gtolen from Alberton Harbor, the owner applied to the Connaught, then lying in port, for assistance, which was refused, He then applied to a local justice of the peace and the latter reported the case fo the department at Ottawa.This led to an investigation, whereupon it was discovered that the log of the Connaught did not always represent the ships movements; m ons cae the log showed the vessel to be at sea, while she was actually in Alberton Harbor and the crew enjoying themselves ata festival in the town.Captain Paliot evidently wished to make things pleasant for himself and crew, in sbort he was a sentinel sleeping at his post.The naps, however, became too frequent, with the

GREENROOMGOSSIP QUEEN'S HALL TO BE CONVERTED INTO A THEATRE.The Alterations being Rapidly Pushed For- ward\u2014'fhe Improvements Made in the Academy and the Opening Attractions\u2014 The Theatre Royal Renovations \u2014 Paul Pry's Gossipy Letter.The only American actor who has made any money 10 England during the past few years is Nat Goodwin.He is at present playing \u201cA Gold Mine\u201d to crowded houses at the Gaiety, and the piece has indeed proved a veritable gold mine as far as Nat's pocket is concerned.He is soon to be seen in * The Bookmaker,\u201d and will also again \u201cmake up\u201d for Golightly in \u201cLend me Five Shillings.\u201d In chatting with a well-known actor a few weeks ago he remarked that it was strauge that English actors and actresses always \u201ctook,\u201d and made money in this country, and that they never come unless they are asked, and in most cases actnally engaged, before they brave the critical eye and ear of the New York newspaperman.This is the opinion of the star of an American company who appeared at the Academy last season.How true it is that they always make money, 1 cannot say, but as a matter of fact it is rather significant that with hardly one exception proprietors of the best variety companie on this continent have thoroughly searched for, found and engaged the leading people of the old land.Speaking of variety companies reminds me of how vastly different are these organizations to-day in comparison with what they were but afew years ago.To-day if an artist is not good it is only a mere chance that he or she may get an engagement.Bo keen has been the competition between both employer and employee, 80 expensive has been the paraphernalia with which the artists have surrounded themselves, go energetic have they been in securing the latest songs and dances that to-day a manager may secure a really good company in à very short time if he can offer sufficient inducement.Tony Pastor has been exceptionally fortunate in getting good people.He himseif is popular both in England and America.A few weeks ago he was pre- gented with a magnificent silwer isa service and upon the subscription list made up vo pay for it many of the leading actors and actresses placed their names * just for the sake of old acquaintance.\u201d 1 understand that he has a number of new songs, but when he reaches Montreal he must certainly give us a few of those with which he added to his popularity on his last visit here.Among the Americans who are now in England I notice the name of Wilson Barrett.He is at present playing a provincial tour prior to opening at the new Olympic.If 1 mistake not it was in London that Barrett/came to grief when he produced Hamlet; but then when an actor be- Jieves he was born specially to represent the Prince of Denmark, even financial failure won\u2019t upset his faith.While intending to give the Londoners a fair sample of his repertoire, he will make Hamlet the leading attraction.Henry Irving, notwithstanding what is declared by some of those who are ever ready to fall down and worship him, is only mortal after all, and it is therefore not a matter of surprise that he should like a change of scene for the exercise of his power, and favor fresh fuces being submitted to the influence of his histrionic ability.I notice that he recently went from his own theatre to the Grand in Islington.Here he would certainly play to new people altogether, and it is a fact worthy of note that he has chosen à number of plays in which Miss Elien Terry bas no part.Some little time ago Irving told a newspaper man that in all his long stage experience he had never sat in a theatre and watched an actor playing \u201cHamlet.\u201d As Rarrett is to play a Wednesday matinee, and Irving is not, the big man will, at least, have a chance to see * Hamlet\u201d in the hands of a man of whom America thinks so much.The 1890-91 season may ie said to have fairly opened as far as New York is concerned.Of course thers is always something to see in the theatres thers, but the leading people prefer to spend the bot days at one of the famous American watering places, and goodness knows, there are plenty of them.One thing is noticeable in this season's plays: there are but fow of the old chestnuts left.The managers have come to the conclusion that, with the exception of a few sterling dramas which are not quiet dead, new altractions must be put on the road if money is to be made.Our Own Academy Soon to Open.A few days ago I paid a visit to the Academy of Music and there found the proprietor, Mr.Henry Thomas, in a happy and congenial mood.He seemed quite content with the prospects of the coming season, and he has certainly spent sufficient time, energy and money in preparing the theatre and fitling it to suit the demands of the companies which are booked to appear.The auditorium has been thoroughly cleaned from top to bottom, and another liberal dose of white paint and gold leaf has added wonderfully to its pretty appearance.There are many Yarger theatres and many which cost more money, but for solid comfort and cosiness there are few that can beat our own Academy.During a talk with the leading actress who appeared at the Academy last season, she stated that she had never appeared upoa a stave on which she felt more at home.* Everything is so clean and nice in the theatre, you know, and the reception I get at Montreal makes me look back with pleasure to my visit to your city.\u201d There are her own words and she is not by any means the only artiste who has spoken in a similar strain.After taking a good look abont the house I followed my guide, Mr.Robert McNaught, up a stairwsy, which looked more like an invention of the \u201c bad boys \u201d to break people\u2019s necks than anything else, to the top of the flies, where I found a well known old scenic artist hard at work.These are few theatre managers who dou't know Mr.H.À.Meyer, of Brooklyn.In that city be is connected with the Amphion and Grand Opera House, but occasionaly be takes a trip for the benefit of those who can afford his services.He is a first class artist and some of the scenery he is preparing will be a credit to the Academy.Of course it won't sll be ready when the house opens, but the set upon which he has Children Cry for spent a great deal of time will soon be seen.It is a grand drawing room with a beautiful background of pick and gold.For special occasions a large archway has been painted, so that with new furpiture and other properties a very handsome scene can be put upon the stage.Mr.Meyers is working away and will turn out some very pretty work.The pra enium has been brightened up and at the foot of the drop curtain the stage has been delicately painted until it almost appears as though the curtain had fallen so low that part of itis lying upon the stage.The two horse shoes have also been touched up until they look decidedly elabcrate.TLe attractions of the season are hardly ready for publication yet, but I am told that they will surpass all other years and that no effort will be spared to get the very best companies.The theatre will open on Monday, the 26th inst, Miss Vernona Jarbean wiil be seen ia \u201cBtarlight\u2019\u201d\u2019 Itisa comedy of which but littie has go far been said, but thoss who claim to know say that it is a great success and is sura to take in Montreal.Miss Jarbeau is not very well known here, although there are many who very favorably remember her when she was connected with the burlesque opera stage.Mr.J.H.Gilmore in \u201c Master and Man,\u201d is spoken of for the second week.I notice that a good deal bas been said of the Theatre Royal and of the attractions soon to be seen there.Well, if good management and a careful selection of companies will do anything towards it the Royal is in for a capital season.\u201cOne of the Finest\u201d is a melo drama, which anyone may enjoy, and as Manager Hasson is a man true to bis word, his company this year ls even better than he has yet had with him.Moutreal's New Theatre.1 have no doubt but that it will be a great surprise to the public to know that a new theatre for this city is an actual certainty.In strolling into the Queen's Hall the other day I noticed that the stage and galleries behind it were gone, and upon makicg Inquiries found that the hall was actually to be turned into a theatre.The contractors are Louis Taft, the Theatre Royal stage carpenter, and George Collins (no relation to John), late of the Academy.Both are now hard at work, with a number of men, in preparing the stage and building the proscenium.Itis not yet settled where the scenery will be got from; some of it will doubtless be painted here by American artists, but it is likely that sufficient for the opening of the house will be bought in Chicago.The gallery will not be ine terfered with at present, but will be built around tbe theatre at the close of the season.The dressing rooms will be as formerly, to the right of the main staircase, and arrangements will be made so that scerery, etc, can easily be got in and out of the theatre.Of course particulars abcut companies, management, etc, are not yet known, but doubtless will be before long.In conclusion I notice that Strauss and orchestra are soon to appear at the Victoria Rink.They played in Washington recently and were met there with a bearty reception.The press spoke very highly of the performance and hoped the orchestra would return before long.Pauu

in a Majority\u2014Whose Cousin is He?\u2014Anpther Charge of Inolvility of Officials\u2014Comparative Statement of Collections on Revenae Account\u2014Thoe l\u2019o- lice Committee.Everything passed off very smoothly at the Finance Committee meeting yesterday, until just about the time for adjournment, when Ald.Clendinneng managed to provoke a pretty auimated discussion by a motion male by him to bare the time allowed for discounts in the payment of water taxes extended for another month.He claimed that more money would be received by the city at this tice of tbe year if the discount period was extended.Ald.McBride\u2014\"Yes, lot us extend .t.\u201d Ald.Perrault\u2014\"It's too late now.\u201d Alé.Clendinneng\u2014\u201cNo, it's not too late.I tel yon the public bave made up their mind on this water question.They feai thet it is an unjust one, and altogether in favor of the rich.Give them another merth for discount.\u201d Ald.Martineau\u2014\u201cMark me, what] say.Thats an unpopular motion and you\u2019ll euffer for it.It will not be carried in council, for it is unjust to those who bave already scraped their money together to pay in time to obtain the discount.\u201d Ald.Clendinneng\u2014*1 don\u2019t care.What we want is to get the money in, and if you extend the period for discounts you'll get it.Anyhow, according to the rules of the Health Department you can't cut off the water from the poor people's houses.\u201d Aid.Perrauit\u2014\u201cOh, it's too late now anyhow for this year.Just looxat what this agitation in favor of the extension of the discount period has cost us.Yesterday the receipts were not nearly up to the figure they ebould be.\u201d Ald.Clendinneng\u2019s motion was then submitted to the meeting and lost by the casting vote of the chairman, Ald, Rolland.The votestood: For\u2014Ald Clen- dipneng and Ald.McBride.Against\u2014 Ald.Martineau and Ald.Perrault.Another subject which occasioned some discussion was a letter from Mr.Mooney, complaining of the incivility of the assessors, and of one in particalar, whom he characterized as being too pompous altogether.1t was resolved, on Ald.Clendinneng\u2019s suggestion, to leave the matter in the hauda of the chairman for investigation, althcugh the member for St.Antoine ward intimated at the same time, in the way of mitigating the seriousness of the charge, that there was no doubt that the life was worried out of some of the assessors.Yet, he thought, they should not lose their tempers, al:hough they (the aldermen) sometimes lost theirs in business transactions.Ald.McBride remarked that they blamed the assessors for not taxing high enough, and yet when they did tax high there was a row.The St.Jean Baptiste society's pati- tion for a grant of $10,000, such as was given by the Quebec government, to the society for the erection of a new building at the corner of Craig and Gosfard- streets, elicited the remark that Ald.McBride that the St.Andrew\u2019s, St.Patrick\u2019s and other societies made no such requests.Ald.Clendinneng claimed that there was a difference, in this case, as the vetitioners represented over one half of the population.It was resolved then to leave the matter over until there was a tull meeting of the committee.Some amusement was created when tha chairman read a letter from Mr.Pelletier applying for a position in the Fire Brigade.Ald.Clendinpeng asked: \u201c What alderman is he a cousin of ?\u201d The Chairman\u2014\u201c Pm sure I don\u2019t know.\u201d Ald, Perrault.\u2014\" I know him.He's a good man.\u201d Ald.Clendinneng\u2014He\u2019s not your cousin, is he ?\u201d Ald.Perrault.\u2014* Oh! no 1\u201d The application was then referred fo the Fire Committee.When the statement of the expenses of the special committee on inundations was submitted, Ald.Clen- dinneng asked what they were inundated with, \u2018water or whisky,\u201d to which the Chairman replied that he didn\u2019t know, but that the statement was prepared at Ald.Clendinneng\u2019s request.The elevator in the City Hall next came in for an overhauling, Ald.Clen- dinneng claiming that Le always felt unsafe when using it.He thought it should be inspected regularly as well as every other elevator in the city.When Ald.\"McBride backed him up by saying that it was a very serious question, he moved that the Quebec Government be petitioned to appoint a regular inspector of elevators, and this was carried.The city treasurer, Mr.Robb, submitted a comparative statement of coliec- tions on revenue account to July 31, 1889 and 1890, which called \u2018orth a remark from Ald.Clendinneng that they should have submitted to them at every meeting a cash balance or statement submitted up to the day of meeting.The statement read was as follows: Revenue Dept.1889 1890 Inc's Der\u2019s Assessments on real estate,butchers and sundry licenses.$26,066 11,908 14,158 Arrears Dept.Arrears of assess ments

copies distributed to the members of the committee: Ald.Rolland, Esg., Chairman Finance Com- miitee: Sir,\u2014Relative to the instruction of your committee, that I should report on such changes In assessing as would give more time for the preparation of the assesment rolls, and_admit of an earlier delivery of accounts, I beg to say that I shall take the earliest cpportunity of discussing the matter with the board of assessors with a view to doing so in the fullest possible manner.In the meantime I wish tocall the attention of the sub-committee on water rates to the important fact that the making of the water Tate a 11 non property is an essential element to any such change, inasmuch as, while it remains a personal tax as at resent, it i8 imperative on the assessors await the annual change of [residences which take place at 1st May.before commencing their operations, Bo long as the water rate ree mains a personal tax, an the recognized term of leases the Ist May, it will be ien- possible to get the personal tax aocounts oat sooner than at present.There svcni- neue d reason, however, why ile leiting should not be changed; and the (wo sii oes might well be agitated together, for, WO my mind, there is greater hardship and loss oc castioned by removals at so inclement 8 dat.As bthe first of May, than by auy supposed inequality in the water rates.If the water rate was merged in the general assessment it would be quite practicable to assess in the fall of one year fur (he assessment of the following une, and thus give abundance of time Jor mature revision; whilst the assessors could make supplementary returns for business taxes after the Annual leasing term, whatever it might be, Lhe accounts for which would form a separate issue.Respectfully submited, Bey Treasurer.City Hall, Montreal, Aug.13, 189.A claim from the Hamilton Manufacturing Company for damages caused by a defective drain was referred to the city attorney, and the Bell Teleplione Company's petition for a permanent sidewalk on St Catherine, corner of Mountain- street, was granted.With reference to the RoadCommittee\u2019s report regarding the widening of the sidewalk on the east side of St.Lawrence Main-street, it was resolved that the corparation pay one half the expznse of the additional foutpath and all the costs for the removing of the curbstone.The report of the Road Committse for the expropriation of property at Rais- seau-Migeon, for the construction of a sewer, was adopted, but the Health Con- mittee\u2019s report for $1,000 to complete the Hochelaga bath came to grief in spite of an urgent appeal by Ald.Gauthier, who was prepared to accept even $500.He did not get a cent, however, as the matter was laid over in view of the fact that the batbirg season would goon be uver.The report of the Road Committee for £1500 for an artificial lake on Papineau Square met with a simliar fats, as there was a likelihood of jealousy being created in the Health Comittee if this grant was acquiesced in.Ald, Tansey, who was present, thought he could coerce the commities into appropriating about $10,000 for the construction of a new police station at St.Gabriel, but his persuasive talk had no effect upon the members, and the question was temporarily shelved by being referred to the sub committee on street widening.No action was taken on the petition sent by merchants on the west side of St.Lawrence-street, asking for a sidewalk, sg it was agreed that as soon es the Street Railway Company laid their double track the sidewalk would be provided, Arrangements are now being made for the lavirg ofthe double track.\"he remainder of the business done was simply the advancing of ome minor reports a stage.Smoke the Sohmer Cigar, 10c.-ee.-.Personal Mention.Mr.R.Bolland,

was very small yesterday, and the work done was not of very great importance.It consisted chiefly in dig- cussing the resolutions which were brought down the day previous.A long letter was read from the Northwest Prohibitory Alliance, which explained the manner in which liquor is sold in the Northwest, and asking the council to appoint an agent to organize the temperance forces in the Territories.À report will be made upon the subject by the following committee: Messrs, J.J.Me- Laren, J.R.Dougall and E.L.Bond.The report of the committee on Parliamentary action, as presented on \"Thursday night, was then taken up and discussed during the remainder of the session.Mr.Jamieson, M.P., spoke at length upon the question of temperance men and their actions at the polls.He also referred to the proposal to submit a temperance resolution at the next session of Parliament.His remarks were in the same strain as bisspeech on Thursday afternoon, He thonght it ill-advised to submit a resolution every year.Mr.Fisher, M.P., agreed with him and made a short speech, but finally that section of the report was carried.It is a recommendation that a prohibition resolution shall be submitted to parliament nsxt session.The next clause discussed was that referring to the advisability of asking rliament to grant a plebiscite on pro- ibition.The following resolution was carried : That this Council is not prepared to advocate or endorse a national plebiscite on the question of prohibition, bat would recommend the friends of prohibition in the country to devote their energies towards securing the enactment of a prohibitory law by endeavoring to elect a majority of members of parliament favorable to such a measure, The treasurer's report was submitted, showing the receipts to be $297, and balance in hand $272.After the clause referring to the laws in the Northwest had been discussed the following resolution was carrled : That whereas agreat hindrance exists tothe operation of the restrictive features of the laws affecting the liquor traffic and probibl- tory legislation in that portion of the Dominion adjoining the territory of the United States, from the faet that on the boundary line buildings are so erected that à part is in Canada and à part in the Unived States, In which, in many cases, the sale of liquor is being illicitly carried on and in an open and defiant manner, Therefore be it resolved that the Dominion Government be urged to take immediate steps to cause a thorought investigation into this question, and such as to prevent the public evasion of the laws of the land.The following members of the Alliance were registered as attending the council : Hon.A.Vidal, Sarnia; Rev.E.C.W.MacCall, Middleville; Mrs.L.M.Phelps, St.Catharines ;

and Rev.James Kines\u2014Mr.Jamieson on Parliamentary Action.\u2018I'he second day of the RoyalTemplars\u2019 camp was not marked by any special feature.The place was, if anything, rather dull, as a great many of the ofti- cers were away, during the morning, attending the session of the council of the Dominion Alliance.Yesterday morning\u2019s proceedings opened at 9.15 with a marching drill of the knights and cadets under Brigade-Major Faulkner.They marched up and down, across aud all over the lacrosse field for an hour, They did not do very well at first, but improved, and when they broke ranks at 10.30, a little weary, they left a very great dea of room for more improvement still, Dr.W.G.Anderson, principal of the Adelphi Academy, Brooklyn, N.Y,, who was announced to be present and give a physical lecture and drill,sent word that he was sick and conld not be present, but would send bis brother.However, Lieut.Wheaton put the squad through some simple gymnastic exercises.At the conclusion Dr.B.E.McKenzie stated tbat Dr, Anderson on his arrival would take up the practical side of the work and he would give some lessons on the physiology of exercise.He then gave an introductory taik in which he stated their object was not only to develop muscle and sound bodies, but to make men and women better morally and physically.he early part of the aftsrnoon was spent quietly by the campers and between two and three o'clock visitors began to flock into the grounds to take part in the afternoon\u2019s proceedings.This 18 the first day that the number of visitors for the afternoon has anything like come up to the expectations of the Tem- plars.At 2.30 the 13th Battalion band gave one of their fine concerts.After the rendering of .several selections the time came for the opening of the Father Mathew centenary meeting.The tent was by this time only partially filled and shortly after three o'clock the chair was taken by Mr.W.T.L.Reed, of Fredericton, N.B., Grand Councillor, of the Maritime Provinces.Rev.Messrs.Bell, Kines, Perley, Kettlewell, Dr.McKenzie, A.M.Fe atheraton, Prof.À.A.Hopkins of New York, Mr.James Hugbes, Mr.McLaren of Hunting- don, and D.Shanks of Howick, occupied chairs on the platform.Mr.Reed, the chairman of the meeting, was introduced by Commander-in-chief Buchanan, as the leader of a vigorous and successful temperance cruisade in Fredericton, N.B.In making his introductory remarks he said it was his desire to show the fallacy of high license, which is everywhere being advocated by the liquor dealers.Although, he said, the sainted Father Mathew died over thirty six years ago, his spirit still pervaded the people and he hoped his spirit would be present at the present meeting.No better tribute could be paid to the memory of Father Mathew than to decide to-day to ucite on the temperance question and put down the liquor traffic.He introduced as tbe first speaker Mr.F.S.Spence of Toronto, wbo had in times past an intimate acquaintance with Father Mathew\u2019s work.He outlined the intro- dution of liquor in this country hundreds of years ago by the fur traders, \u2018and when the Church prohibited the traffic, the Government sided with the traders and ever since thea liquor bas rever been out of Canadian politics, He attributed much of the present trouble in Ireland to whisky and not so much to the Government of the country.He eulogized the Irish race and regretted very much that so many ot his fellow countrymen disgraced their nationality.Father Mathew\u2019s early life was outlined by the speaker un'il the time the venerable priest became one of the most influential churchmen in the eouth of Ireland, and the commencement of the temperance agitation in Ireland, in which he took so commanding a position.Thera was no sectarianism in Father Mathew\u2019s work, as ell classes of people took the pledge at his solicitation.The great work which followed the active commencement of his crusade was related, thousands having taken the total abstinence pledge in a few days.He met with great opposition, however, to such an extent as is seldom experienced now.As the consumption of liquor went down very quickly from twelve million to five mil lion in five years, the 1083 to the brewers was immense.The criminal atatistics also showed a great falling off as the result of his work, Father Mathew was of courss slandered by his opposers, but the story that he was making money out of the campaign was suddenly exploded by it being clearly shown that he wss altuost penniless, baving spent all he owned in the good cause.His great work during the great famine and fever in Ireland was one of the crowning efforts of his life, and at that time he fought the liquor traffic with greater vehemence.Some of the lessons to be learned from him is that more individual work is necessary; that the mighty power of moral suasion must go hand in hand with legal power, and that to attain the best results from the temperance sentiment, it must not be fettered with any other movements.Sectarianism must be got rid of if temperanco is to be successful.He closed with an appeal to stand firm and profit by the example set by Father Mathew.Rev.James Kines, of Kingston, was the next speaker.He thought Father Mathew should not be claimed only as an Irishman, but for the world.He shone out as a mnral example for the whole world.Although he did not commence his great life's work until pearly forty years of age, yet it was an eminently fine life.The speaker recounted the great obstacles to temperance work when Father Mathew commenced his work in Ireland.Unfortunately, however, when Father Mathew went down, a great part of his work went down with him.He also attributed much of Ireland\u2019s unsettled state to the drink traffic.Let her be freed from the thraldom of drink tyranny and there is a bright future in store for that fair Isle.It has been said that temperance reformers lose sight of moral suasion in the work of legal suasion, but the speaker did not think that so.He indulged in considerable talking about the action of the Government in not making a prohibitory law aud said that if such an one was made with all the Dominion and Provincial Government machinery at its back, notwithstanding appetite or anything else, it would be a success.What is wanted is more men like Mr.Jamieson in Parliament and then we would AZETTE SATURDAY.soon bave a prohibitory law.He closed his speech by an appeal for the Royal Templars not to slacken in the work, which would mean a great falling off in the good cause.After some music, Mr.J.Jamieson, M.P., was next introduced and promised not to make a speech.He stated that for some time he has had charge of a resolution in favor of prohibition to pre- gent to the House during the different sessione.The speaker thought that if the temperance question was to be carried to a successful issue, there must be more enthusiasm manifested.The people do not want information on the question, but it is their hearts that are wanted on the side of right and have thom fired up to demand prohibition.He believed that the sentiment of the House of Commons was not below the general sentiment of the people on the temperance question, and as soon as the politicians saw that the people do want temperance legislation, then they would get a prohibition law from ocean to ocean.A Capital Evening Meeting.The tent was well filled whenthe opea- ing hymn of the evening platform meeting was sung.{Commander Buchanan occupied the chair.The first speaker was Prof.Hopkins of New York.He said that he was reminded that he was not the first New Yorker who had come to Montreal.He understood that this was a great place for boodlers, but he wanted to assure those presentthat he had come on a very different errand.Plunging at once into the question of prohibition he made a powerful appeal for organized moral force and maintained that organized political force should be in harmony with the moral.If the political force be immoral and pass laws which are unfit for the country, then those laws must be opposed by organized moral force.You cannot, he said, harmonize political and moral forces without the individual man.Party must be put upon one side because I tell you that it is not the drunkard who comes between the two great forces of which I speak, but it is the demoralized manhood of men who, many of them, never even enter a saloon.With them it is a matter of revenue and upon this plank they have fought against us in battles in the States and in your Dominion.The revenue cry is, I tell you, a humbug.They tell us that it is better to tax whiskey than to tax farms and homes, but do you not see that no tax would ever be collected from the whiskey if the farms and homes did not pay it?Now, do you know where the individual man is to get in his work in harmonizing these two great forces ?I'll tell you; at a point where he can touch both forces-\u2014at the ballot box.We want the educating power of the law.In the south a little over twenty years ago hundreds of men were slaves to owners.The law said they must quit and they did, but not be- canse they wanted to.But now you could not {get three in a hundred to vote for a return of slavery.Why ?Because of the educating power of the law.Pass your laws and give them a pro- par chance and the law itself will educate your people up to a point where they will no longer want a return of the traffic.What is it that makes your state ?It is your manhood, and that which demoralizes your manhood must be an enemy to the welfare of your country.The Professor closed with a grand peroration that was listened fo in a silence that was most impressive.A short intermission was next in order, during which the band played a selection, part of which was the old favorite, \u201c Come back to Erin.\u201d After playing it through, the members sang the first verse in spirited style.The evening being devoted to a Father Mathew celebration, all the music was Irish, and it is needless to say that the fine old tunes were well played.The collection was arranged by Bandmaster Robinson, in honor of the day\u2019s celebration.Mr.J.J.McLaren, Q.C,, on rising, said Le was sufficient of a cold water man to know that when a vessel 1s full it can\u2019t hold any more, and he thought the audi- erce had their ill of temperance for one night, and couldn\u2019 hold much more.He felt that the Montreal people had much to thank the Royal Templars for in bringing to them so many treats, both as to speeches and music.He also felt that an Irishman should have been present upon the occasion, in order to to do justice to the man whose memory they were gathered tozether to celebrate.In warm and eloquent language he spoke of the work of Father Mathew, and stamped bim as one of the most remarkable men that ever lived.One after another be told the stories of the great man \u2014stories which seemed impossible, yet had been proven beyond question, He spoke of Ireland\u2019s prosperity during the work which he prsecuted with such great success, and declared that it was only fair to take it as a sample of what might be expected from such work in this or any other country.He here showed the audience a medal loaned him during the day by a man who received it from Father Mathew just 50 years ago.He hoped that the influence of the camp work would be felt in Montreal in futere and that when he next visited Montreal there would be fewer liquor licenses, The mesting closed with \u201cGod be with you till we meet again.\u201d The programms for to-day is entitled \u201cCadets\u2019 day.\u201d At 8,30 a.m.,therewill be a marching drill, and at 9.15 the Temp- lars will have an excursion up the river and on returning will shoot the rapids.In the afternoon a platform meeting is to be held and the day will close with a grand band concert.To-morrow is Gospel Temperance Day.Three meetings will be held, morning, afternoon and evening.At each of these prominent speakers will give ,addresses.Smoke Noisy Boys 1890

the girls chipped in $25 apiece, their male friends only being taxed $5 each, with the exception of toe professor, whom His Honor gave a slight lectures to, remarking that $10 was a small enough tax to impose on the musical artist.Mary Lariviere, of 190 St.Constant- street, had a warrant issued for the arrest of one Pearl Brown, who resides at 59 St.Elizabeth-street.The gentle Mary charged the \u2018\u2019Pearl\u201d with having, some two weeks since, on the public streets, used some spicy language\u2014in fact, she tried to encourage & meeting a la Sullivan, which Mary, remembering her
