MANSION OF MR.GEO.STEPHEN.| PRESIBENT OP THE CANADIAN PACIFIC RAIWAY, \u2019 Among Montreal's many mansions tenanted by the merchant princes of the Dominion many have claimed the notice of residents and | visitors.Wealth has besn lavished with unsparing band upon them, and they shine in summer time resplendent \u2018mid well cropped | lawus and behind artistio fences.The sketah | given of Mr, Stephen's mansion, however, was taken in winter only a few days sincs.Thesnow with which it is surrounded takes much from, the effect of the grey limestone with à green | ground as seen duriuz the summer season.Waltiog up Drummond street from Ht Catherine atreot,in the direction of Sherbrooke atrest, where s0 mary of these mansions are to be seen, the stranger cannot fall to notice one poidence Perienlasly, ait an art repository Hardly, because there are too many evidences of household comfort about ît, Yet it dMfers materially irom the other dwellings one sees round.It fsunobtrusire in its grey limestone dressing, and yet there 1s about It um alr of elegance and unpretentious splendor that ebal- lenges the admiration at once.A pause and inspection of iia detai shows it to be Palladian in style.and the piilare, three of which on each side support the balcony that forms a roof to the portico, are so admirably carved that they Dour the inspection.The more one looks the more of artiatic deslun and well executed cutting 1s to be noted, So well woven is the delicate cutting with the massive proportions that hare mony ia the result.As the yo wanders from these to the ornamental carving and the heavy stone cornices the mors does the whole lecture luterest him.be window sashes of polished mahogany contain within thelr frames glass of splendid size and faultiess finish.To the south side of the building tbe conrerva.tory.with {ts many minarets, clalms atten: tion, apd over the cut stone foundation can be seen that which is to bloom with rare towers, The ULroad stairs of the main entrance are reached by steps {rom either side, and pausing a moment to admire the massive door, with fts heavy gold-washed binges.1he visitor steps into the hall or iobly, where Le obtalas the fret glimpses of the interior splendor.The tloor of the lobby ls marble\u2014three varie ties of 1t radiating, so to speek, from n medsl- lion in the centre, which is Vienna marble, and the Italian and French strips and line the Hooring.ade of the walls are I poltehod.wi All up each tallan marble A th the tng of Vienna marble\u2014all except one Marge panel on the left, Which 1s of Mexican onyx, polished until it looks Ike » huge jewel.The ceiling is of mahogany polished and panslied, while pendant from the centre ls a huge lamp of brass cut and fash.foned without the aid of s mould.The glass panels which separate the visitor trom the inner world of magnificent things are stained with figures of Winter and Summer to represent the santiments, crowning sll of which is this, \u201cTrue {riendship's rale,\u2014 Welcome the coming.\"| the partiog guest.\u201d Stepping aside into the waiting room, we notice THE FURNITURE, which Is of rosewood, & glance at which tells that there is no vensering in that work.The carving is superb, rad is a reminder of the art of days gone by, for nowadays em a and chnaing take the place of the old-time carving.The massive tables, chairs, the French walnut panelling of walls and roof, with Burlay ash margins, and the oaken floor margined with black walnut, were all strikingly bendsome.The coil-pi; for warmth wers masked by = screen of bras, ihe ornamentation of which was oat by a jigsaw.From the reception.or waiting room, the visitor crosses the threshold of the library, and notices that the door strip over which he passes is of solid brass, burnished.The next things noticeabls are the bookcases of rosewood, and the writing desks snd other pleces of furnitare.The door which leads to the main lobby sof ftaelf a ploce of art, and deserves passing mention.Lookingover the shoulder for a last glimpse at the handsomely tiled grate or chimney place, and the pretty brass brackets for Mghting the library, the visitor passes into the main ball, and advances à few ateps 10 view the mantelpiece and targe grate and fireplace of the olden time, with 11a crane und swinging grate.A heavy mahogany plHar on esoh side supports & cross beam of mahogany.polished and shining, while above th another pair of pillars which support a panel with niches cut on ench aide of it for the statuettes that are there to be placed.Thus far only the massive frame of the fire-place bas been described.Set In this frame, 30 to speak, 1s the marble firepisce.Two pillars of Vienna marble support a cross-beam of the same, d there are panels of Mexican onyx at sach andoneatthe to The fire-place itself ia fit throughout with porcelain tiles beantifuily ornamented, and the whole is artistio, Turning to see where the light streams from so softly, the eye takes in A ACRE OF MAGNIFICENCE.The broad expanse or oak zooring and black walnut lining terminates in a staircase, on each side of which are heavy mahogany posts, and thew on each side of the walnut steps which lend to the upper rooms is a heavy mahogan bannister with carved mahogany supporta\u2014sil lished and carved after artlatio desigms.Poking upward the stainsd glass of the main window is seen, beautiful in the sunlight, while the ceiling above the staircase fs of stalned glass, the figures of poetry and song being admirably set In the stained ornaments.Ascend: Ini ¢ stairs the rich mahogany dade ls noted, ant with the chocolste-tinted panels of the walls lead onwards and upwards.The top of the stairs terminates in & lobby, from which the doors of the suites of bedrooms are reached, and turning around one inspects the heavy ma hogany bammer beams, trusses, and pendents, upon which bracket-llke combination the rool Treats.CANADIAN.Tue CErEMONY of opening the free public library in

Government to compromise the matter by making the separation compulsory over the province, and al lowing two years before the law 1s enforced.The chances are in favor of the compromise being accepted by all parties.Rerorra have been received from Algoms Mills stating that there is a great depression existing there.The condition of things is said to be distressing.The poorer class of workin.peqple

but are & great incentive to «ur endeavors to make this paper better and etter every week and to iutro- duce it to every family in the Dominion.Our Clinton friend goes on to say : \u201cI be- Keve the

letter, that the Witness natorally is Ze paper for every one to take d the Seott Act campaign, now commencing.In its columns will be found fuila-:ounts of the campaign's progress in li.e various parts

grounds for ope that its circulation, which has during the past twelve months very materially in- crossed, w.il be still more augmented before the commencement of the fast approaching Spring.\u2014\u2014 THE RANGERS\u2019 PUZZLE.There is dissutisfaction among the farmers of this Province with their situation as compared with \u2018\u2018capitalists.\u201d At least this appears to be the opinion of the president of tie Ontario Grange in his annual address.With great advantage of climate and soil, the farmers of Canadas, who are, says Mr.Robinson, as intelligent and thrifty as the farmers of other countries, are not realizing as large profits from their investments as capitalists in other urdertakings realize.Jlow can farmers expect it to be otherwise ?By Actof Parliamenttheyareex- cluded from buying what they require in the way of tools, implementsandelothing.where they can get it the cheapest.They and their men are taxed heavily for the supposed benefit of the capitalists who invest.in manufactures.On the other band, no act of Parliament can be found which will compel the English or French people who buy their surplus wheat and butter and cheese to pay them 8 higher price than they can get the same things for from others.Bo long as farmers submit to pay tribute to manufacturers as they consent to do by eleatingsupportersof protection theyslionid not complain if that policy enables the manufacturers to make large profits, for that was just what was intended.The manufacturer may in many cases not con- tinne prosperous, he may instead inenr ruig; but whether bis business be profitable or ruinous to himself, it isin either case extremely costly to the farmer who pays for either his losses or bis profits.There should be more farmers in Parliament and Mote study of politéeal economy by farmers.FROM PILLAR TO POST.There is a society in Ontario which ealls itself the \u2018\u2018Ontario Trades\u2019 Hencvolent Society,\u201d but that is only what it is ealled : it has in reality nothing to do with what are gonerally called trader, namely, handicrafts ; but is really a society of liquor sellers who apparently think that their former use of it has entirely spoilt the name of Licensed Vie- tusllers of which they were before so fond and which fitted them almost equally ill This begevolent society sent a delegation to the l'rovincial Government with severs! requests.lm the fist place, the Provincial Government has determined to raise tie fee for liquor licenses ns a means of increasing the revenue of the Province and ulso of discouraging the use of intoxicating liquors in deference to what hasbeen clearly shown to be the desire of the people.The ** licensed victuallers,\u201d or rather the *\u201c benevolent traders,\u201d prav the Gov ernment not to increase the license fees as taxes, are already high throughout the country and tbe times are very hard There un be no doubt about the hard times and the high taxation, but we think that if hard times are to be provided against it is not by making whiskey cheap, and that taxation might better be reduced upon coal and upon breadstuffs, upon blankets and upon clothee, upon farmers implements and upon genuine tradesmen\u2019s tools.Chesp whiskey means higher taxation: for it means more vice, more crime, more misery to guard against and provide for.Incremse the taxation upon whiskey, or, better still.prohibit its sale altogether if you want to bring good times and prevent the need for hixh taxation, so much of the revenue from which goes to provide gratuitous lodgings and food for «drink- made crimisals and providing for the innocent vietias of the traffic.These \u201c\u2018benevolent traders\u201d think that meu \u2018\u2018in the trade\u201d of liquor selling thould zot be debarred from holding municipal office.Thegrvat majority of the people are satisfied that the liquor sellers\u2019 interests are directly opposed to the interests of the people, theyare satisfied that most of the political bribery and corruption has been promoted by the liquor dealers, and they bave therefore debarred a liquor-seller from bav- inga direct personal interest in the results of elections, and from having & direct personal influence upon municipal lexislation, These disabilities should be increased rather than dimivished.The \u2018\u2018benevolent traders,\u201d too, complain of tie dual law resulting from the Dominion Act.They wanted legislation at Uttawa, and they go! more than cnougl of it.it seems.Ther find iustend of the Dominion iaw releasing them [rom any of the Lurdezs of the provin val law ot Les bad uo ether «fed tuan to add new burdens.As we de.cared, when the new law was proposed, it kas superseded cxisting laws only where it Las Leen wore stringent than they, In every case tle more restrictive law prevails, They, therefore, wish to be free from the law.Dy a popular vote under the local net, Toronto declared, that no licemsns should be granted to grocers, These benevolent traders,\u201d therefore, pray the Government to take away from the municipalities this power to say what iainber of licenses or what the prive of the license» shall be.They are orig their hold upon the municipalities und with it their power lo foster and guard their trade.and now they are flying to the I'rovincial Government \u2018ust as a year ago they ilew to the Dominion tiovernuent.The lrovineial Governinent, were it to seek to impose liquor skops upon the municipalities azsinst their will, would soou find itself as helpless and as bound to curse where it promised to bless, ar did the l'a- minion Government when it undertook, nt the request of the licensed victualiers, to take the power out of the hands | of this same Provincial Government which is now being so humbly supplicated.Another thing the \u2018\u2018 benevolent \u201ciraders\u201d complain of greatly isthe proposal to! close hotels at five o'clock ou Satur- \u201cdays,\u201d \u2018The proposal is to close not hotels but bar-rooms at that hour.These bonevo- lent traders arc sy nnxious about the wol- fare of thie poor ditring the hard timen that they cannot think of the week's earninus going past their tills with any other sentiment than pain.Mr.Mowat seems to have contented himself with reading the petitioners à long and instructive lecture on the respective constitutional righta of the Dominion and the 1'revince with regard to the liquor trade, We hope they wintaway wiser, for we are sure they went away sadder, men.\u2014_\u2014 DEEP SEA SOUNDINWS.Sir Leonard Tilley confesses that a depression exists but declares that it is not as serious n one as that which existed during the term of office of his predecessors.In preof of this he turns to tho statistics published by the mercantile agencies of the bu-iness failures and shows that the figures for last year were not so grest as those of the worst year of the last depression.If that were allowed as an irrefragable evidence that the depression was not yet of so severe A character an that of five years ago, it would not be a dofence of the National Policy which was not only to remove the then existing depression but to make prosperity permanent.That claim for the National Policy bad to be nbandoned last year, but Bir Leonard Tilley thought it was still safe for seven years.One year has passed and now he is content with showing that shat year has not been one of unexsmpled depression.The failures, he says, are neither 80 numerous nor the average of liabilities ro large as during the former depression.Is there Any other reason for this than the existener of the National Policy, We think there is.During the period of the former depression an insolvency law, which actually encouraged Ptraders to go into inselvency by making it «a means of profit, was in existence, and this law was so largely taken advantage of (hat it was immediately after the depression swept out of existence as a direct encouragement to business immorality, and the prejudice which it has eronted against all insolvency laws is so great that it is almost impossible to get parliament or the country to consider any bill rupts\u2019 assets among their ereditors.Had uo law existed from 1873 to 1870 it is safe to say that the number of insolvents would bave been at least one-third smaller, and it isequally safe to say that wers the Act of 1375 still in existence the number of insolvents would be one-third greater to-day.When Sir Leonard Tilley, therefore, rives the National Poliey the credit of reducing the number of failures as he does when he takes the number as ao barometer of tbe state of the commercial condition of the country new as compared with the period before 13790, he is, aa every business man in the country knows, And aa the farmers, who had the insolvent act swept out of existence, know, giving credit to the National Policy whicl helougs properly to the repeal of the insolvent act.His barometer is, therefore, untrustwosthy.The depression is not yet so deep as that througk which we passed from 1575 to 1879, but then we have not yet passed through the present one and it would be as well, perhaps, not to shout befors we are well out of the woods.\u2014_\u2014\u2014 THE FARMERS OF TRE NORTHWEST.Mr.Watson, the member for Lisgar, was the only representative from Manitoba who voted against the Canadian Pacific resclu- tions.For doing this and for moving that the resolution be sent back to committee for the purpose and amended so as to do away with the monopoly and exemption clauses of the original contract, Mr.Watson was likened *\u2018to & trembling criminal\u201d by Sir Charles Tupper, who assumed that Mr.Watson had cause to dread his own censti- tuents.It appears that Mr.Watson understood the epinions of his constituents better than Sir.Charles Tupper,and that he represented their opinions in Parlisment by his vote and influence, as Messrs, Scott, Royal, Hoss and Sutherland, the other members for Manitoba, did not.Mr.Watson not only received an immediate endorsement from bis own constituents, passed as soou A8 they had heard of his course, but now a Farmers\u2019 Convention, which is being held at Winnipeg, bas unanimously sppreved the conduet of Mr.Watson and condemned the course of tho other members.This Convention is not apparently a mere packed assembly of Liberals, for the committee appointed to confer with the Conservative Provincial Government report that the Provincial Premier, Mr, Norqnay, \u2018* is fully im ~ympathy with our platform of rights\u201d and they recommend that the Conv only await ihe action of tbe Legis!uture ; before pled; itself to support the Giow, ernment.That is the attitude of o friendly Governm:ert.Probably, howiver, the Dominion lroverpment cares \\ittie for the | vinion of tbe people of Masitobu and se North-West, who are not strongly re, sented in tin: House, az l more espe\u201d lly when they un the voles of those representatives way.Whatever nay be the condition of feeling under ; the shadow of the Canadian l\u2019acifie, the\u2019 peopir of the North-West penerally\u2014the young giant that Mr.Goldwin Smith told us « about n year or two .go\u2014seem to have waked up.\u2018The convention at Fiusrson and thet at Winnipeg demand peremptorily the abolition of the monopoly of railway transportation aud a lower tariff, which they rightly consider as necessary to the development and prosperity of the North-West.If their demands are not granted they will.| they say, agitate in favor of a separation! from the l\u2019ominion, though net from the British empire.They \u2018lo nol want annexation politically, but they do wan! the benefits of a commercial union with the United { Sates, which merely meaus that tuey wWaut ; treetrade.Protection and railway monopoly, | astioldwin Smith pointed out long ago, will, ! if persisted in, drive the people of the North-West into open and earnest rebellion, which will take place as sonn us they are strong enough.\u2014\u2014 ME.CHARLTON'S BILL.We are disappointed at findiag Mr, Charl- ton's Lill so inadequate, His success last year was certainly encouraging enough to bave warranted him in introducing a measure such as the moral sense of the community demands and would support.In every, straight and open division in the Commons he had a substantial majority and in the, Senate his defeat was due altogether to the unexpected action of Sir Alexander Campbell, the Minister of Justice.DButthe Minister's speech with all its assertion waa inconclusive and half-heart- ed.Fle had mot one word to say in defence of the existing law, passed through the Senate by himself in 1%¢D, doubtless for the very manifest reason that the law is utterly indefensible.Ile, however, yuoted largely from eertain anonymous judges and read some of the prigeish die.tums of a bystander.In tho interest of common decency, if from no higher motive, it is the duty of the Minister of Justice to provide the community with moral and reputable laws : those he Las given us are, as we have before shown, both disreputable and immoral.Legislationjof thischaracter, like everything bad in this world, and perhaps more than aught else, tends to bring forth fruit after its own kind, and hence it is that crimes of impurity have become ro common that they almost cease to attract notice, We commend two of the speakers in the Commons\u2019 debate the other day to the attention of their comstituents, Mr, Curran, of Montreal West, and Mr.Mac- master, of Glengarry, The iatter talked joftily about that *' eternal vigilance \u201d which should be the price of chastity, A poor orphaned child-servant of twelve years of age is fraudulently cheated out of lier chastity Ly her master, herself ruined for life, and a harlot folsted on the community, and the lecher has done no Jegal wrong: whereas it he had so cheated her out of à dollar of her money he would have become liable to the nenitentiary.In which of the two cases is the \u2018\u2019 eternal vigilance \u201d theory the more applienble?Mr.Coursol, with his great experience, was found speaking and voting on the right side.But to return to Mr.Chaziton's bill, Its scope ns it now stands is limited to {wo enactments, and no pretence even fs made to amen the shameful provisions of the present law.These are :\u2014firat, seduotion is punishable, provided it bo compagsed under à promise of mare bearing the name, though intended only to assure the equitable distribution of bank- \u2014 inveiglement for an evil purpose is punishable, if it be to a bad-bouse, but not otherwise.Now, se far as regards the class whose interests we have most at; heart \u2014the poor, the orphaned, the immigrant, and the friendless working-girls of twelve yoars of age and over\u2014that large olass from whose ranks prostitutes are mainly drawn and the ranks of vies recruited, and whose ruin is usually compassed by vile persons in a higher walk of life, this bill will afford no protection whatever, No promise of marriage eould be proved, even it made; uo house of ill-fame is necessary.À few ribbons, a threat of dismissal from employment, a charge of theft, Or more often plenty of drink, and the brutal deed is done.Indeed, the bill has very much the aspect of being drafted on the same base lines as the existing law which assumes that there should be one law for the rich and another for the poor, that girls who have property and guardians need protection up to twenty- one, but that girls who are poor and without guardians should shift for themselves after they are twelve years old.The bill would be improved by adding to the two clauses the words we here put in italles :\u2014 \u201c1.Any man who by force, fraud, or \u201c false pretence, or by means of drugs or ** drink, or of menace or duress, or under \u2018a promise of marriage shall,\u201d etc., ete.It should be borne in mind that under the present law only the crime of violence is punishable.Amd\u2014'\u2018r.Any persen who \u2018 shall inveigle or entice * ** house of ill-fame or assignation, or to any + other place for the purpose of,\u201d ete., eta.Most surely the erime cousists in the in- veiglement and in the vile purpose of it, not werely in the partienlar place in which the purposed crime is accomplished.Indeed the crime itself would become doubly vile if it were accomplished in a place where no evil purpose could be suspected.But piecemeal legislation of this character, although good so far c~ it goes, is after all only a species of ineffective tinkering.Will Mr.Charlton or some other philanthropic member take 1 straight vote in the (Commons on these four principles?First, shat the chastity of a girl shall be protected against fraud by the same means and to the some extent as her chattels.Second, that a higher measure of protection shall be afforded to a poor and friendiess girl thmu to a rich and guarded girl, 7/urd, that an offence to a girl it isticted on her by a relative, guardisn, master, teacher, employer orotber person in authority over her or whose duty it was to protect her shall bo an aggravation.Fourtk, that the corruption of minors of Loth sexe: cod any connivance thereat by cclntions or cuardians shall be a misdemeanor, the we of wajerity being the same as u matters relating to property or imarriag:- \u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 THE NENT BATTLE, Oxford County, O:tario, hag the privilege, if it will, of piviog a triumphant kesuolu to the warike strains that are beginuirs to be piped up all over that Province.On Thursday week the electorate of that county will say at (he polls whether a legalized liquor traffic shall continue in the midst of them, or whether the extinguisher of the Scott Act #hall be put upon the business in all its forms The very great responsibility resting upon tie prometers of the Act in that constituency, in view of the moral effect ous way or the other involved in the issue, should, we imagine, have a powerfully stimulating cflect upon them.\u2018Tho Scott Act has been rapidly gaining on public favor.At first there was not only hesitation but actnal opposition amop;: professed temperance people with regard to it.The working of it, however, ev: where imperfectly administered is fast winniog over scentics of all kinds and bringing even the gainsaying press to its side, It bas been adopted by national temperance opinion, focussed through the Dominion Alliance, as the best existing inftrument of repression and the best step toward national prokibition.A defeat of the Act in Oxford, therefore, would be & severe blow to the cause throughout the whole country, and would push that county itself away back to the rear in & movement which is bound to succeed.\u2014\u2014\u2014 OUR CONFEDERATION.The question as to whether er not confederation must be considered a failure, is being seriously discussed in the press of the Maritime Provinces, and cannot but furnish grave grounds for reflection for every thoughtful man throughout the Dominion.It was supposed at one time that confederation would necessarily bind more closely together all the different provinces, hut we have not yet reached the condition of an absolutely happy family.Ilcitish Columbia may be said to be indifferent, Manitoba and the North-West sre certainly dissatia- fied, Quebes is bankrupt, and the Maritime Provinces are bankrupt and dissatisfied both.Before Confederation.Upper and lower Canada, nt all events, were united.The French spoke and sang of Canada se Ma patrie: now they own \u2018uebec as the patric.\u2018That bond has been severed, and in lien thereof a feel icg of jealous hostility is springing up between the provinces, which, added to national and religious prejudices, which one school of Quebec politicians seems to think it its duty and mission to trade upon, bodes no good for the future, The St.John Globe of the 20th ult, is particularly plain-spoken on this question.\u201cCertainly,\u201d it anys, * it is most unpleasant \u201cnow to find all the provinces, except, per- \u201c haps, Ontario, crying out for more, more, ** and to find all their treasuries in a bank- \u201c rupt condition.It is another evidence of \u201che wretched character of the original \u2018\u2018agreement-\u2014another proof that it would 1 he better had we msde haste slowly.We * think that a large majority of our people \u2018\u2018 bellove to-day that the best re-arrange\u201d \u201c ment of the terms of Confederation would * be for these provinces tu re-arrange them- \u2018selves out of it sitogether.\u201d We ean quite understand the disgust of the New Brunswickers.They do not, it is evident, ali share Bir Leonard Tilley\u2019s conviction, that the more the peoplearetaxed the richer they are.Before confederation, custom duties in the Maritime Provinces averaged riage, but not otherwise ; and second, about twelve parcent, we are not quite sure what they average now, but we taney \u2014 we are within the mark when we say forty percent.The result of the chauge of tariff on the Maritime Provinces, was pointed out about a month ago, in an article published in the Halifax Morning Chronicle, In which it was declared, \u2018\u2018 we are each \u2018\u2018 day getting poorer.\u201d We cannot now, however, return very easily to the status quo ante.The Federal Government has been rolling up, on its own ascount, a debt of something over two hundred millions, to which has just been added another thirty millions, which will have crept up probably to fifty millions before the demands of all the Provinces, which are now following the example set them by the Province of Quebec, bave been satisfied.The debt must be borne by the provinces as a whole: It would be impossible to divide it.For instance, the share of tbis Trovinee would be about seventy millions.If confederation were done away with to-morrow, is there any money market in the world in which the Province of Quebec could hope to borrow seventy millions to enable it to redeem its share of the common indebtedness And so it would be with the other provinces.\u2014 Tur GOVERNMENT has sauctioned the scheme of bridgiog the St.Lawrence at or near Quebec, and is to assist the scheme as a part of the price of the support of the loan to the Canadian Pacific Railway Com- pang.What shape that assistance is to take is yet to be revealed by the Ministerof Railways, who merely announced that it had been decided upon.A company is now asking incorporation at the hands of Parliament which proposes building a railway bridge at Cap Rouge, and we have received Mr.Lights (the Provincial Government Engigeer) drawings and estimates cf the cantilever bridge which this company proposes building.Itis to be a modified reproduction of thie bridge which is no® being built over the Firth of Forth, The total length from shore to shore is placed at 3,100 feet, the superstructure at 2,500 feet, the two shore spans at 550 each, the two cantilever post sections 170 feet each, and centre span 1,100 feet.The lengths of the superstructure of the HForth Bridge are; about one-fifth greater.The cost of the; Lridge is estimatcdat 1,000,000, TheGov-! ernment is ached to guarantee four percent: on the amount, which, in the belief of the en- | gineer, would be safe,as that would in return be sccured by an average of two hundred cars passing per dav at a toll of $2.50 per car.The advantages of the bridge would be, | in the opinion of the c¢ngincer, that Quebec | would lecome the summer terminus of t'anada and the Lower Province ports the] winter terminue, If this is the c:se Quebec and the Lower lrovinces are fooli-h in not having long ago built that bridge.The bridge is, we fergot to say, to be 160 teet hove high water, so that the tallest masts of steamshiz will have thirty feet clear space above them.What about eailing vessels whose masts ave very much taller than these of tiie steamships whose masts arc 8 mere ~arvival, Are they to lo com! pelle to stop at \u2018Quebec ?Yannourm has granted no license for upward of forty years, aud its representatives in the Legislature and in l\u2019arlisment are usually at the front when noy temperance legislation is being effocted.It is not surprising, therefore, that the Scott Act was carried in Yarmouth last week by a very large majority, the vote in its favor being in some polling districts unanimons and in most overwhelming.Tusket lake would seem to be inbabited Ly n different race of people from the other dis- tricte, for at this writing it appears to be the only oue that has gone against the Act, although only by three in « vote of sixty-three.This victory ought to carry great weight in the other l\u2019rovinces wherc a general movement has been imauigurated to procure the adoption of the Act.Even the tremendously exacting license law of Nova Scotia is not thought by the people sufficient or equal to the Scott law nt its worst.What higher recommendation could that measure have than that it should be so eagerly sdopted by a constitueney in à position to observe its effects when only very partially administered in the neigh- Voring districts.I.ocal option is certainly the instrument for present use in suppressing intemperance, and the enthusiasm with which it is being received, ve may say, throughout the Dominion, gives promise that the next step\u2014unconditional prohibi- tion\u2014will be the shortest one over taken in tho progress of this mighty cause.Tine TariFF BIL, introduced dy Mr.Morrison into Congress, has been considerably araended by the Ilouse Committee of Ways and Means and in the direction of lower duties, Salt aud coal have been added to the free list.\u2018The admission of sait duty free is almost too goed a thing for Canada to prove true.The salt companies of liuron would Ue.come ence more flourishing institutions and the whole county would become a luge salt manufactory.Canadian salt is purer and more easily socured than American.The Michigan salt msnufactu- rers will, however, fight the salt clause and probably defeatit.The duties on Canadian coal are to be removed only when American coal is allowed to enter duty\u2019 free into Canada.Here ix a grand chance for our Fair Traders and all who believe in free trade that is not one sided, but it is stated that if view of the immediate possibility of the American coal duties being removed the Nova Hecotian coal miners are no longer \u2018fair traders.\u201d We thought not.Our monopolists will prove to Le fair traders only in theory when the time for practice arrives, and the Government's fair trade opinions will possibly be fougd to be equally theoretic.Taz TrirTy MiLLioxs lent the Canadien Pacific Company will probably be the smaller part of what the Dominion will have eventually to pay in that connection.Quebec is to get three millions cash, besides railway and bridge subsidies, ete.New Brunswick asks a similar subsidy, and how much more is yet to be seen.Each of the largo maritime provinces expects Government, by means of railway and harbor grants, to secure it the winter terminus of the Canadian Pacific Railway.Manitoba le to have an outlet at all cost are back in Ottawa asking for more.Ontario haw not presented her bill yet.Like \u2014 gation which is now at Ottaws asks.The iasatiability of the British Columbians is something even for a Quebec member to stand aghast at.We have hurried » rail Way over 8 sea of mountains at an expense of thirty or forty millions to gratify our Pacifle people, we have made grants to their almost unused Larbors, and subsidized their loeml railways, and yet, in spite of all, they Brer Rabbit sie \u2018\u2018lies low and aint saying nuffin.\u201d PRixce BisMARCK bas been busy for some weeks back, as we all know, trying to got England to go filibustering for conquest in Bgypt and has been somewhat ohagrined, doubtless, to see England coming into possession of Egypt in spite af her evident endeavors to retire, and likely also to have the Sondan thrust upon her.He, however, follows up his intended policy of trying to unite the Continents! Powers and especially to excite France against England\u2019s rapidly increasing ascendancy.AU Europe is te unite to curb her growing meritime preeminence.Jealousy in this matter is certainly natural.If they would like to know how to cheok England, we can give them a hint.All Europe and America has united to confer this commercial preeminence on her by their protective systems, which have positively driven the trade into England's hands.To take it back again the wisest course would be simply to open their own ports.If they think to punish England by increasing their tariffs they will find that, though England will be s great sufferer, yet relatively her predominance will increase faster than ever.Tuk Rev, Me.BORLAND has returned to Lis charge against Jesuitism.Jesuitism loves to use the carnal weapon, and when it does so it can doubtless be met by the same.Ifthe Jesuits claim the public property known as the Jesuits\u2019 barracks, te whieh they have no vestige of title, that claim should, of course, be resisted wherever sot up.But, after all, Jesuitiom is a spirituai evil, and is to be overeome only by spiritual forees.Truth is vot now, as it never bas been, without its witness in the hearts of men, and just as in the day when Germany revolted against the sale of indul- Rgences by Tet:el s0 to-day does the conscience of man inwardly refuse the indulgence of Father Burke, who promises the convicted, nnd, except for the moment, unrepentant murderer,a passport to beaven if he can Only see Lim for as many seconds us it takes the hangman to puil the bolt, It should be our part to let all who are bound under thew» errors sce that a truer faith produces a nobler life, aud no system of falsel.ood will stand before the light ef live.Is NoT l'ARLIAMEST goirz beyond its powers in declaring, as it does in the biil to amend the {ndependence of Darliament Act, that Sir Charles Tupper did not cease to be » member of the House by accepting an office, when the Independence Act which governed his case provided that on such acceptance by & member his seat actually was tiereby vacated?That Sir Charles Tuoppet's case comes uuder the law is con- fossed by the very fact that Sir John's bill amends the act in that particular.If Sir Charles\u2019 seat actually became vacant on his aceeptavce of oflice, is not I'arliament, in declaring that it did not, simply sffirming a falsehood and filling the vacant seat by a flominee of its own without an election ?Parlisment certainly has the power to defend Sir Charles Tupper from the penalties of a breach of its own privileges, but it has not the right to declare him to be a member wlen Le is not one.THERE IS A BLIZZARD ef excitement sweeping over the North-West with regard to the Hudson Bay route.Not only the farmers of Manitoba but those of the Western States say the must have it ands they are utterly unwilling to wait for the explorations of the Government steamer which, in accordance with our recent suggestion, is going to be sent to spend a winter in Indson Strait.They must have the road anyway.We certainly can urge no objection s0 long as we in Ontario and Quebee do not have to pay for it.but we fear not only this but that we may have to pay for it through the Canaliau Pacific, which with the aid of the Dominion Government, if that road must be built, will strain every nerve to control it.What would Manitoba, Dakota and Montana say to that ?SULTAN GORDON is right again in aking for Indian troops for tho Soudan.India can send some very soldierly bodies of men and men who are entirely adepted to the Soudan climate, so fatal to the English.Their magnificent array, every one of them far grander than nn Turkish pasha of three tails or an Arab Sheik of the first order, will inspire the Arahs with the splendor of any people that owns tho British allegiance.If largely Malommedans, yet loyal to Britain, their moral influence will be good, and they themselves will lose nothing in logaity by having their horizon extended beyond the Hindoo const.The sending of these troops will be the British cecupation of the Soudan in the least ob- trusivo way.TnE DOMINION LICENSE INSPECTORS in Toronto have decided that they have power to grant licenses, it applied to.That did not need to take them long to decide, as that is the very purpose for whioh they were appointed a few weeks ago.The difeulty is that those who take out licenses under the McCarthy Act will not be allowed to sell unless they fulfil the conditions of the Crooks Act, which the Privy Council has declared valid.The Benevolent Traders, in session at Ottawa, have wisely declined Sir John Macdonald's advice, 10 take out their licenses from these officials, amd whatever ls done in that way will, probably, only have for object the aubmission of the question to the courts at the cost of the Dominion Government, which hes apparently volunteered to bear the expenses of the trial.Tuc Boers or THE TRAXevAAL have certainly no cause to complain of hardheartedness on the part of the present British Marça 12, 1584, \u2014\u2014\u2014= \"gy _ [bis is to bave\u2014well whatever the dele- gained their entire independence, à large slice of Zululand on the east, twe blocks of Bechuanaland on the west, through which » road built by the English ran, and thelr debt to England of over à million and à quarter of dollars has been forgiven them.The Transvaal is hereafter, with the consent of the Government, to be known as the South African Republic, so that it is as independent in name as in reality, If the Boers respected the personal liberties and rights of their black neighbors as sacredly as they do their own there would be cause to rejoice over these concessions, but they make slaves of the natives and dograde them and themselves by their contact with them.IT 18 HARD TO BELIEVE that merely be- eause of prejudice against his complexion s negro studying law found it impossible to find & solicitor in all Toronto willing to accept him as s clerk, as required by the re- Kulations of the law soeiety, in order that he may become asquainted with the practice of his profession.Yes one Davis is forced to apply to the Legisature for a special act to qualify him without submitting to the usual term of practioe on this plea.Tho heads of some of the greatest law firms in Toronto wers among the first of those who opened their homes to the Jubilee Singers when the hotels closed their doors against them.A-line which excludes from a business office and includes in the home is, to say the least, rather re- maskably drawn, Mgrs.BIRT announces anether lot of a hundred boys.This is a class of emigrants of whom Canada las never too many.They no sooner arrive than they are sbesorbed into our agricultural population.It would seem at first sight as though a man or full grown boy would be worth more to our leading industry than a ebild, but Mrs.Birt is, we think, wise in limiting heraelf to comparatively yeung boys who wil adapt themselves naturally to new homes and become Canadians at once.The boy who has grown to years in which lads think they can push their own way is apt to be dissatisfied with his first experiences of life in tho new world, and to be as a consegence more restless and less docile.and to leavo one or two places before he makes up his mird that he cannot set up at once as master of the farm.Tuose BAsKETs OF FLOWERs presented to the mover and seconder of the reselution in faver of total prohibition doubtless meant something very different from the empty pre-arranged compliments paid to valedin- torians in ladies\u2019 reulemies.They conveyed the Lopes and prayere of thousands of women who are excluled from any other expression cf their will in a matter of immeasurable importance 10 them.As suck they should Le received with reverence ; but the episode is one that may well be allowed to stand alone im our Parliamentary Annals.as such an unexpected tribute may well prove sufficient!y embarrassing to speil » good speech.THE SPIRIT of blackguardism which has sprung up in American schools raises the question whetlier the common school system of this continent is all it should be, It is In the playground that the Awmerican public schools and ours are ruost lacking.Failing sowe manly tscape for their redundant nnimal spirits we find the lads reading villanous literature and forming themselves into the Philadelphia cow-boys under Schuylkill Jack and pistolling their teacliers, and into the Boston Jesse James Club with J.J.on their belts.This development is the natural sequel to lionizing a double-lyed criminal like the rufiien James.A LETTER FROM DUNDEE, in Scotland, on the subject of temperance hotels will be read by all philanthropists with much interest, The description given shows that the circumstances ef cities in the old conn- try differ from our own, or hotels of sixty or eighty rooms could scarcely be ranked as first-class, however well kept, but we do not think that any reason exists why temperance hotels, managed on a purely business basis, should not succeed as well here as in Scotland, where they have been a notable success during a whole generation.ONTARIO has decided in favor of woman raffrage with regard to municipal elections.A bill to grant women the right to vote at municipal elections has passed its sesond reading Ly a large majority, the Government und Opposition leaders being both divided in opinion on the subject.As the passage of the second reading involyes the acceptance of the principle of the measure, there can be little doubt that the bill will become law and without mutilation in view of the large majority\u2014sixtcen in & house of sixty- eight\u2014in its favor.A Morr OrreNsive TAUNT has seldom een uttered against any nation than that of Headcentre Stephens, who declares that no American Cabinet would dare to take measures to suppress the assassins who are constantly leaving the United States to commit wholesale crimes against humanity in England.If neither of the existing parties dares oppose the liquor interest or the assassination interest, it is time that anew party was formed independent at least of these.TORONTO, the (Queen oity of the West, celebrated her fiftieth birthday last week by ringing of bells, Gring of guns, reception addresses,

contrary, of the population.Tnost 6.senting mupicinal bodes PTinelal that b on bohal ln Usoad of 8 ver: Ho ne to the balance of trade.When he! part.| sought ing I'arliament for legislation.y other subject relating vas on as He was aware that avert 1osa whieh it is dally indicting on soclety, the wonder ta not that this request has come so $60R to this House, but that it did not come here long ago.He felt \u2018whatever bearing might reesive in this House he had the sympathy as the represents.tive of n very large and moral constituency in Canada.Hs hoped that the present application was the beginning of an agitation tbat would isorease unt the manufacture and trafüs In liquor, which was so demoralizing and imporerlshinx the peaple, would be a think of thepast.These resolutions took into sccount the use of alcoholic liquors as beverages only, not theircbemical or mechanical purposes.If hewers asked the question Why he chose to bring this subject bafore the House In the form of a resolution, he would answer: in the frst place, because such à course Was proper f\u2018 ber to take ; econdiy, thatit w raisiog a discussion in Parliament on the.subject, that the people outside wish to ascertain the strength of the teroperance sentiment in the House, and thirdly, that it would teat the strength of the prohibitory sentiment in the House, and should that appear weak or unable to carry the point, that the moral forces of the people outside would, in time.rectify the want by raising this question above party, and seeing tbat the House was suppl with the representative element necessary to carry it.Another copveulence of the present question in the form of resolution was that a very large number of details were eliminated, whieh in s bill would create n discussion not pertinent to the main question.Bat all this meant that it was redu: to the simple main question to be decided on its merl! He supposed the uestion to be\u2014why pro a different line of action In dealing with the question of thé manufacture and sale of alcoholic liquora from that of anyother! In the first instance we have a number of factories.\u2018Thess may be badly managed.not in consonance with health and morals.The employees are Liable to aceldents that do bodily intury ; and the question then might be asked, why do we not try to lexisinte factories out of use.In reply he wes bound te say that this was an entirely exceptional case: that it requires the appileation of more radical mes- sures thau any other question before the people.The neceesity of the case demanded lan entirely different course of treatment ihan that of any other.No better proof of ituis could be given than the fact that ali AngloKaxon governments Lave found it | neceseary to circumscribe It by laws and enactments.Within the past fifty years a spirit of hostility and repression against the trafic has manlfostad Itself in every Al Saxon legisla- , lure throughout the world.ese legislatures have set thelr faces to curtailicg and checking ithe trafic, as 8 moral snd socinl evil Another (proof of the neceratiy of #pectal legislation was | the aggressive nature of tLo re «trictions thrown laround {t.Whiin tke last fiity yeara 1be re- \u2018atrictions and the opposiiion to the traflic

\"overturned.Hot mere than ail (his was the {fact that the public has gone against it ins stronger degree thar legisiatures have manl- tested.He concluded by «jnotieæ different expressions of eminent men upon the demo 12ing effect of the traffie.In the British House of Lords a century ago Lord Chesterfield said that \u2018\u2018jezury 1 to be taxed, but vies muat be repressed.\u201d Lord Brougbam

distillers of Scotland were all suspended, tbat the fntliction of drunkenness which does so much to degrade the Hootch nation might be wi out.\u201d He then quoted similar expressions from Row- Inpd Hill, Lord Bacon, Richard Cobden, John Bright, the London Times, Cardinal Manniog, the Lord Arebblebop of Canterbury, Goldwin Smith, London Pily Re prophe nnd, of sll papers on thi continent the last to be expected, from the New York Tribune of the 20th | February.He referred ut great length and ably to the social, moral, physteal and other aspects of the question, and concluded amid applause.Mr.Foster having spoken until recess no vote could be taken, as after that time private bills and other business on the order paper was taken up Conailerable confusion was caused by the way Mr.Charlton's ssduction bill was handled by members last night.Thies divisions were taken and finally the debate was adjourned.Mr.Chariton sad Mr.Foster moved amendments.Mr.Charlton's amendment that any man who shall under promies of marrisge seduce any unmarried female of previously chaste character and not more than twenty-one years of sge shal be guilty of a misdemeanor and shall be punished as hereluafter provided, was carried by nine of a majority.The bill has to come up for a third reading vet.Tbe House went into committee on Alr.Cameron's bill to further amend the iaw of evidence in criminal oases and after a short discussion rose and reported progress.THR GREAT LOAN.| While Mr.Foster was speaking to bis probl- i bition resolutions the Speaker Interrupted him \u2018and announced

days.The whole examination bas bean very exhaustive and the testimony of fr value, So well is it appreciated that it has largely increased the {terest already existing en this important branch of agriculture, and it is determined to utilize it to the largest extent by publishing it for free .distribution, iu pamphlet form.Beginning with an expisnationof the divisions of the industry\u2014into butter wakinz and cheese making, Into farm dairies and factories \u2014Hr.Lynch showed that there are advaniuges peculiar to each kind of dalry masufacture.that the profits in tie long ruu are equal, that farmers should choass that branch which thelr local conditions are best adapted to.and having chosen should not chunge when prices factu ste.The important question oZ the futurs of the

especially in butter making Itelatively, the home dxiry bast suited the requirements of butter-mauing, awl the factors the requirements of cheeso-mwuking.The fact that the factory had almost revolutionized the cheers industry was shown to Le 10 proof or promire that it would do similarty with butter: making.A striking fact wes this that of all tha dairy products, both butter nd cheese, of
