in- iroduces the new reign.The color of the immediate future depands less upon the accession of William than upon the real resolutions of Prince Bismarck, who, likely, has a freer hand than before.Other papers comment upon the address in a similar strain.\u2014The Daily News says: \u2014We think the alarm which the proclamations of the Emperor William to the army and navy excites is uncalled for.More humility might have been expected from an older govereign, but the spirit in which the Emperor addresses the army and navy is of less importance than that in which he receives Prince Bismarck, \u2014The Times says :\u2014The proclamations are worthy of the Emperor and the traditions of his house.Their spirit is not necessarily to be regarded as warlike still less as aggressive.Germany is an armed nation, and only as such under existing conditions can she maintain her unity and power.The Emperor has great power, but not enough to be able to hurry into a war with a

REVOLT IN THE TORY CAMP.Dewdney the ** Last Straw.\u201d Orrawa, June 18.\u2014Petitions and letters of protest from prominent Tories throughtout the Dominion, and particularly from Toronto, are daily received by Sir John Macdonald against the appointment of Mr.Dewdney to the Interior Department.For the past two days Mr.Birmingham, the Tory organizer, has been here, at the instigation of Mr.John Small, M.P, and others in Toronto, beseeching the Premier not to give the position to Mr.Dewdney.He, it is said, is also instructed to tell Sir John that the changes already nade in reconstructing the Cabinet were of a most unsatisfactory character to his followers in the west.In other words, there was virtnal- lv a rebellion brewing in the Tory camp.Tle matter was discussed among the uinisters, Mr.Chapleau being absent.At last Mr.Birmingham was told that Sir Jobn Macdonald would visit Toconto on the 21st inst., when a meeting of the dissatisfied ones could be arranged.It is, however, just probable that before that date they will be like the Manitoba and Northwest members, who were also granted an interview with the Premier on this matter some time ago, small in number.When the day comes a threat to stop Government patronage from those who now have it and a promise to give boodle to others may fix the matter in Toronto as it has done elsewhere.+ FROM THE PRAIRIE CITY.The General

Orrawa, June 18.\u2014Hon.Frank Smith came here to attend a meeting of the Cabinet, at which the question of appointing a successor to McLelan as Post- master-General was discussed.It is understood that Mr.Smith favors Patterson, of Essex, and does not like the proposal to make Dewdney Minisier of the Interior.There is also some kicking among Toronto Tories over Dawdney, but Sir John is going to take a trip up west next week to settle matters.There will be a lively fight before the Railway Committee of the Privy Council to-morrow over the apolica- tion of the Cunadian Pacific Railway Company

proposition amounts to spoliation.\"The report of the Inspector of Gas for Ottawa district shows that the quality of the gas supplied here has been for years far below the standard required by law, and Senator Clemow, President of the Gas Company, says that this is due to the inferior qnality of Nova Scotia coal, which his company persist in using, as they desire \u2018to encourage home

Likes, Says the Pittsburger.Loxpox, June 18.\u2014It seems that even on this side of the water, some thousands of miles away from the Chicago Convention, Mr.Blaine cannot escape American politics in one form or another.This time it takes the form of an interview with Mr.Carnegie.This gentleman said to a reporter at New York, where his coaching party was spending one of its intervals of rest, that Mr.Blaine could be President any day he liked, and if he should be nominated he would be elected.From the last of this remark it is evident that even Mr.Carnie thinks Mr.Blaine might stand for the Presidancy in the coming campaign.Mr.Carnegie repudiated the assartion made by Mr.Joseph Chamberlain, that Americans did not favor Mr.Gladstone\u2019s Irish policy, and said that he was sar- rised that Sir William Harcourt or Mr.Morley did not demand of Mr.Chamber- Jain in the House of Commons the names of even two prominent Americans who were opposed to Mr.Gladstone.Americans, Mr.Carnegie declared, were indisposed to deal in any matter with Lord Salisbury, who was such a bitter enemy to the Republic when she was combatting slavery.In his opinion the fishery treaty would never be ratified by the United States Senate.19.TRAIN ROBBERS IN MONTANA.Eight Masked Cowboys *¢ Go Through\u201d the Express Car and the Passengers.HELENA, June 18.\u2014When the days of : the stage as a mode of conveyance ceased | and the railroads came into Montana.it was thought the avocation of the r>«d agent had likewise departed.Such vas not the case, as was proved last night, when for the first time in the history of the Territory a railroad train was stopped by bighwaymen, ihe express robbed and the passengers compelled to yield up their cash.When the west-bound train on the Northern Pacific was in the vicinity of Junction City, a station about six miles east of Billings, last night, the engineer noticed a bright light ahead, which was being waved to and fro.Knowing there had been a heavy storm the day before, and fearing a bridge was gone, be slowed up.ScarcelR had the train stopped before a masked man appeared ol the steps of the engine, andinan ia: stant later three shots were fired in rapid succession, one cutting its way through the cab and the other striking the drive-weeel.With à gun levelled at his head, the engineer, T.H.Sergent, was commanded # throw up his hands, which he.did instantly.The fireman, W.V.Cavender, wus treated likewise.Tley were vhen ordered out of the cab, and under an armed escort of four men taken to the express car, the doer of which was broken in with the | engineer's pick.Sargent was then or- | dered to crawl through the opening, and, after telling the messenger what was going on, did so.The messenger at first refused to surrender, but the numerous guns made him yield.The thieves remained in the express car about one hour and tifteen minutes and rifled everything, securing, however, but about $400.Meantime the conductor and the other train bands had been under guard, aud when through with the express matter two bighwaymen were stationed on the Puilman platform, and the conductor, gun at head, was compelled to.lead the way through the car, followed, by two men, who compelled every mdle passenger to throw up his bands, one of the robbers intimidating passengers while the other rifled their pockets.No jewelry or papers were taken, only cash.The entire train was gone through in the same systematic manner, and no effort was made to molest ladies.While the robbers were in the express car the passengers secreted their valuables and big money under the seats and other places, so that the haul only amounted to about §1,000., One passenger, named Williams, had about $15,000, the proceeds of a cattle sale, which he secreted in a lunch basket.But one victim resisted, agd.a bullet through his bat quickly broaght.him to terms.The gang consisted of eight men wearing black masks, and they had the appearance of cowboys, & constant fusillade of shots was kept ug during the robbery.Upon the arrival of the traipat Billings Sheriff Harris, of Yellows@me county was notified, and with a | \u201cfosse he started in pursuit.The coufit&y is level and as many of the posse ars old Indiau scouts it is believed the scoundrels will be run down.ce AN IMPORTANT ELECTION.Serious Results Depending on it\u2014A Drawn Battle.Paris, June 18.\u2014An important eiection with indecisive results, tuok place in the department of Charente, France, on Sunday.The importance which attached to i was the fact that M.Deronlede was Boulanger\u2019s candidate, with whose fortunes he was to stand or fall.Befora the election it was said that if M.Deronledo were beaten, General Boulanger who has been losing prestige lately, would sink into eompara- tive obscurity.If, on the other hand the Government candidate were beaten serious trouble wuuld be apprehended.The election of Boulanger's candidate it was considered, would be practically a challenge to Germany, as M.Deroulede is the avowed champion of \u201cTa Revanche,\u201d and the sad event which has just taken place in Berlin will render it extremely dangerous to provoke Germany.\u201cThe election of M.Deroulede, co.nciding with the accession of Prince William to the throne, would multiply tho chances of a war at an early date a hundredfold.\u201d These were the words of an ex-Minister at Lord Lytton\u2019s dinner on Friday night.The Government from President Carnot downward would sacrifice anything to avoid war, partly because the result of a defeat would kill tiie Republic, and partly because the heart of France is so entirely sat on celebrating in the great Ixhibition next year the centenary of the Revolution.This explains the extraordinary energy which the Government displayed in opposing M.Deroulede.The result of the balloting, as reported at midnight on Sunday gave Boulanger\u2019s candidate about 10,000, and about 5,000 each to the Opportunist aud Conservative candidates.There may have to be a second ballot._\u2014\u2014\u2014 TOO MANDY WITH HIS KNIFE.John Aunichiarco Carves up Two Young Men on a Ferryboat.New York, June 18.\u2014Passengers on the Roosevelt street ferry line, at nine o\u2019clock last night, witnessed an exciting slashing encounter between an Italian and two young Irishmen, that took place just before the boat left the foot of Broadway, Williamsburg.One of the men was so badly cut that he had to be removed toSt.Catherine\u2019s hospital.The men concerned in the fray were John Annichiarco, a barber of No.24 Mott street; Peter Reagan, of No.27 Henry street, and Thomas O'Connor, of No.82 Monroe street, all of this city.The men had boarded the boat, and the two latter were in a hilarious condition.The Italian took umbrage at some remark they made, and drawing a knife from his hip pocket he ran over to where Reagan and O\u2019Conner sat.He plunged the weapon into Reagan\u2019s arm, inflicting a deep and probably a serious wound.O\u2019Connor tried to assist his friend and received a dig in the left breast.He was not badly injured.The angry man then tried to stab another passenger, but was overpowered by Policeman Brinckerhoif, of the Fifth precinct, Williamsburg, and locked up.On the way to the station house le tried to cut the officer.Reagon was removed to the hospital and O\u2019Con- nor went home.Annichiarco will be arraigned before Justice Naeher this morning.ee PLEASE W Arr A MomExT\u2014I must call at the druggists for a tube of Jelly of

Suicide.PRESIDENT-MAKERS SCHEMING.Counting Their Supporters, CHicaco, June 18.\u2014There was a lull today among the President-makers, but plenty of quiet work was done by the friends of the favorites.The Californians kept open house and gave away about a carload of native champagne to those who would drink it.° The different delegations are waiting now to see whether Mr.Depew will permit his name to be v.sed.One report, said to be from a re- Liable source, asserts that he will withdraw, consultations with prowinent western men having shown him that he has not a chance in that section.Another statement, also considered reliable, says Le will do as the New York delegation desires him to do If Mr.Depew\u2019s name is not men- tiored, the Xew Yorkers will split up into many fractions.Miller of the delegates-at-large is said to be for Sherman, while Platt and Hiscock favor Alger, and Depew\u2019s preference is not known.An attempt will be made to have New York unite on one man, but this is considered improbable.There has been to-day a more general re :ogni- tion of the positive strength of Senator Sherman.Senator Miller claims ten votes in New York for the Ohio man, and it is conceded Senator Quay has thirty-five votes for Sherman in Pennsylvania This gives Sherman about 155 votes in the North, which, added to his 200 in the South, makes his strength a formidable one.He has been greatly weakened to-day by the assaults of the Pacific coast men, who have been strongly opposing him.Over all hangs the Blaine movement.Some of the old Blaine managers are exhibiting anxiety about the indiscretions of the California ydelegation.They fear that the enthusiastic coasters will throw Blaine into the convention prematurely and spoil everything.The failure of such a movement might prevent final success and be somewhat humiliating besides.£enator Hale, Joe Manley and T.B.El- kins called on the Californians to day and begged them ng to place Blaine\u2019s name.in nomination.The coast men responded that it was treachery to Blaine to opposé the present action of his name and declared their intention of going abead withthe boom.Five New York delegates are for Gresham, and Senator Farwell and other Gresham workers are making an effort to form a combination with leading men in the East.Willian \u2018Walter Phelps bas spent the day at Mr.Tarwell's country house.Phelps has great influence with the leaders in New York.The efforts of the Gresham men ig to form a combination, making Morton or Phelps the candidate for Vice-Presi- dent.-On the supposed leaning of New York toward Aiger and Harrison, the friends of these candidates are in high spifits to-day.They claim to have made gains in various directions.\u2014______ ARMY APPROPRIATIONS.The Bill Amended, Discussed and Passed by the House, Wasinxerox, June 18.\u2014Yesterday the House devoted itself to the army ap propriation bill.Mr.Tracy of New York offered an amendment appropriating $126,000 for the enlarze.mant of the plans at Watervliet Arsenal, New York, and $500,600 for the manufacture of cannon and carriages and projectiles, for torpedo evperiments and expenses of ordnance eflicers.Mr.Randall of DPeansylvania made a pointof order against the amendment.He said that science had so far advanced that, had the last fortification bill become a law, the ruoney would bave been absolutely wasted.For twenty years he had waited for the ordnance department to make a gan that they dare fire.Why not invite private manufacturers to supply 10 or 12 or 16 inch guns, under specified conditions?Mr.Holman of Indiana argued that this country was so rich in res urces that no other nation would attack us.Mr.Laird of Nebraska said that we had not à gun or carriage, or powder to fire the gun if we had it, adequate to the defence of the country.Mr.Randall remarked to Mr.Laird that the appropriations committee would bring in a bill providing for 14,16 and 20-inch guns, and there were people who would agree to furnish them.During the debate letters were read from Secretary Endicott and the chief of ordnance, General Benet, strongly indorsing the proposed amendment, but it was ruled out.Mr.Ford of Michigan offered an amendment, which was adopted, providing $30,- 000 for the purchase of gunpowder to be used in firing sunrise and sunset guns.[There has been no firing of these guns since the powder which was stored up at the close of the war became exhausted gome months ago, and army officers have been loud in their demands for another appropriation.] On motion of Mr.Laird of Nebraska, a provision was added to the paragraph relating to post supplies, requiring them to be purchased where they can be pur- ctased cheapest, quality and cost of transportation being considered.The committee then rose, the bill was passed, and the House adjourned.\u2014 THE HOHENZOLLERN BLOOD.Statements Regarding the Present Ems peror\u2019s Condition Denied.New York, Juse 18.\u2014Dr.Charles Hammer, Schenectady, in this state, is an exceedingly well read and finely educated physician, who in his youth was a great traveller.He was born in Europe and rosecuted his medical studies there.e also spent a year at the University of Heidelberg.Dr.Hammer has frequently been brought into contact with the imperial family of Germany, and he says that the insinuations concerning a hereditary taint in the Hohenzollern blood are outrageous.In speaking of the family a few days ago Dr.Hammer said : I have never seen a more magnificent race, and the statement that aloathsome disease tainted their blood 1 have every reason to know is absolutely false.It is said that the present Emperor's shrivelled arm is the result of this taint and that the monarch also suffers from abscesses in the interior of the ears.There is no truth in either assertion.I was in Berlin at the time the Emperor was born, and what hap- SUBSCRIPTION 86.pened then was discussed in every physician\u2019s office in the city and also embodied in the medical reports of the day.The unborn infant\u2019s leit shoulder was dislocated.This fact was not discovered until several days later, when the right shoulder had grown properly, while the muscles of the left, of course, had not done so well.The dislocation was reduced, but the arm has never been quite as strong as its fellow.It is far from useless, however, and the slight shortening wonld scarcely be noticed.When en horseback the Imperor holds the reins in his right hand on account of the weakness of his left, and it is oniy then that strangers are led to inquira if he has a physical defect.Some abscesses did form some years ago, following scarlet fever, as is frequently the case, but in time the young man outgrew them, ani is now as well and strong as almost any ore could wish to be.The facts that I have st@tcd are true of my own knew- leäge.\u201d +, A MYSTERIOUS CASE OF SUICIDE.Several Thousand People Witness a Young Man Take Mis Life.BRIDGEPORT, Conn., June 18.\u2014A well- dressed, good-looking young man, about thirty years old, committed suicide last evening at Seaside Park, in the presence of several thousand eye-witnesses.While the band were playing and hundreds were speeding their horses on the track, he was suddenly seen running at the top of his speed {from Waldemere, the residence of P.T.Barnum.He came tearing down the smooth lawn, rushed across the track, crowded with carriages, and dove head first into a smail pond within the race track.He disappeared beneath the water and general consternation ensued.A crowd collected by the pond, and after twenty.minutes his body was recovered.Nothing was found on his person to identify him.In his pocket was a return excursion tickes to New York.\u2014\u2014\u2014 A LIVING NECKLACE.A Servent Suddenly Encircles the Throat of a School Teacher.SEYMOUR, Ind., June 18.\u2014Miss Mollie Dinsmore, teacher of the public school of this town, is suffering from the shock occasioned by a recent encounter with a spake.The reptile caused a scare among the pupils on the playground at recess, and Miss Dinsmore hastened to the rescue, when the snake turned upon her, ran up her back and entwined itself around ber neck so tightly that but for the timely assistance of a young gentleman who was passing and promptly responded to the frightened calls \u201c8f the little ones she would have strangled.The snake, when killed, measured over four feet in length.It was a black racer, a variety that is usually considered harmless, and this is the first instance in which one of its kind has been known here to attack any person.\u2014_ _ SUXCIDE IN HIS CELL.Negligence Of the Police Enables a Prisoner to Take His Own Life.SrrisGrrezp, Mass, June 18.\u2014Jacob Gegenbech ended his life in a cell in the police station here this morning by cutting bis throat.But for the circumstances immediately preceding his incarceration there could be nothing added to the story save the verdict of the Coroner\u2019s Jury, that he was rendered temporarily insane by the continued and excessive use of rum.Gegen- bech, who has been a hard drinker for years, has more than once threatened to kill his family and himself.On Saturday morning about two o\u2019clock his wife heard him get out of bed, and, following im, saw him enter the room of his eldest son.As he carried a case kuife in his hand she feared his intent, aroused the household and he was disarmed.A few minutes later he aftempt~ ed to shoot the same son, and then tue family decided to have him locked up.A pocket knife in his possession was not noticed at the station house, and scon after he was locked up he cut his throat and then, shutting up the knife, returned it to his pocket.He was found dead this morning when the doorkeeper went to arouse him, ee For Brooklyn Navy Yard.W'AsHINGTON, June 188\u2014The Naval Appropriation bill to be reported to tha House to-morrow by the Naval Committee will contain an appropriation of $83,- 640 for repairs to the Cob dock and enlargement of the machine shop at the Brooklyn Navy Yard.The total amount for improvements at this yard recommended by the sub-committee was §191,- 340, which the full committee cut down to the above amount.The bill a3 finally agreed upon appropriates $1,312,000 in all for public works at navy yards and stations, >» + A RIPE SNAKE STORY.An Inland Sea Serpent With Amphibious Proclivitics and Long Hair.AvrrENA, Mich, June 18.\u2014Thunder Bay people are much excercised over the story of the appearance of a monster lake serpent there.Near and partly bordering on the bay is the farm of Isaac Isaacson.Not long ago he found a track through his ploughed field, about a foot wide, the appearance of which led him to believe it was made by a monstrous snake.Mr.Isaacson\u2019s boy Grant was planting potatoes in a field near the house yesterday when he saw a hugh snake moving toward him.The boy had a double barrelled shot gun, having taken the precaution to carry the gun with him when he went in the fields since the snake track was discovered.The boy fired twice at the monster.He says it went over stones and sticks as lively as a horse, and glided down to the bay water.The boy\u2019s father then came along, having been attracted by the gun reports, and they followed the tracks to the water.The boy describ- edthe snake as about twenty-five feet long and over a foot thick, the body as black, with yellow spots, and a yellow tail.The head was covered with long black hair.Where the snake went under a board fence there was found some dark hair about eight inches long.A Frightfal Surprise.East Liverpoor, June 18.\u2014Mr.J.A.Van Dyne, a prominent resident of this lace, was at St.Clairsville yesterday on usiness, and, hearing of the indictments ments against Gertie Williams, Bertha Hamilton and their two male companions for the shooting of the Waters brothers, he concluded, out of idle curi- csity, to go up to the jail and have a look at the women.Ie was horrified to recognize in Gertie Williams his only sister, who had left home mysteriously years ago, and whose whereabouts was never ascertained until the chance meeting yesterday.00 PER ANNUM BRITISH INVASION BOSH.20-20 Men Enough to Eat That Hundred Thousand.Meaning of the Ayr Election.Yarns About the New Emperor._\u2014e\u2014\u2014\u2014 THAT IN VASION SCARE.Counting Up the Defenders.(SPECIAL TO THE HERALD.) Loxpon, June 18.\u2014What American papers are pleased to call the \u201cBritish invasion scare,\u201d ig a scare that exists only in the brain of newspaper men short of copy, and is the outcome of the political situation here.There is in many men here a firm belief that one-half at least of \u2018he immense sums spent in the maintenance of the army and navy is completely wasted, and with such a belief there is a strong desire to change the entire system of management, and but little scruple as to the language employed o raise the indignation of the electors.As to the statement that any power could land a hundred thousand men on our coast.You must not lose sight of the fact, that in spite of mismanagement we have still a vast preponderance of maritime power.But supposing the fleet out of the way and given a leader with temerity enough to to land in army in a populous and hostile country, the question then arises what forces have we immediately available.Thecatalogue is sufficiently reassuring.The effective of the British army stationed in England, Wales and Scotland that is to say within abeut twenty-four hours reach of aay selected point for invasion, is 72,000.The militia consist of 122458 men many available at a moment\u2019s notice, and all could be embodied within a week.The first reserve numbers 46,858 and the second reserve 5,695, who could be read within a week.* Béesides all these there is the magnificent volunteer army consisting of 226,752, greater part of whom would be under arms as soon as the bugle sounded,and the Yeomanry cavalry 11,499 who would not be long behind.This shows a grand total of 484,994 men almost immediately available.Man for man, the material of which this army is composed js equal in strength, hardihood and courage with the men of any nation in the world, so that, without counting on the million or so of old soldiers and volunteers who would come forward as a reserve at the first sign of attack, it looks as if that poor hundred thousand invaders would\u2014if they were allowel to live at all\u2014live only to repent their rashness.\u2014 THE AYR ELECTION.Sign of a Great Change._ [SPECIAL TO THE HERALD.] Lonnon, June 18.\u2014The result of the election at Ayr is a remarkable verification of my last cable to you.The victory is even greater than I dared to hope, and t: e Liberal party generally; remembering the overwhelming majority against their candidate on the last occasion, scarcely expected to achieve a victory, but only hoped to show by a narrowing down of that inajority, the change in the feeling of the electorate.The actual result, a Gladstonian gain of 1,238 votes, is amazing.The battle was fought entirely on the Home Rule issue, and was won mainly by the votes of the working men.The victory shadows the policy of which I have before spoken, viz, an actual alliance between the democracy of the three kingdoms, which bodes ill for the English landlords, who may soon have too many troubles of their own on hand to give much more help to their Irish friends.\u2014_\u2014\u2014 WILLIAM II.EMBRACES BISMARCK.Me Will Never Have Another Minister\u2014 Awaiting the Proclamation.LonpoN, June 188\u2014A despatch from Berlin says that when the Chancellor called upon the new Emperor, out of mere form, to present his resignation, William 1I.embraced Bismarck and said : \u201cI shall never have another Minister but you.\u201d It would have been too much to have Puttkamer back in the face of hisedis- missal so few days ago by Emperor Frederick, but he is tobe given soma other high position.Count Zedlitz Trutz- schler, selected by Frederick a few hours before his death, will succeed Puttka- mer.The proclamation of the new German Emperor, which will appear Tuesday or Wednesday following the funeral, is awaited with great interest.It is certain it will abound in peaceful protesia- tions, which will not much reassurs those who have observed the intensely military spirit running through the address to the army and navy already published.The editor of Figaro says a prince who has such a passion for the army must have an equal passion for war.To attend church devotedly proves love of God.No new developments are expected in haste; no phrases in the official proclamations now ara considered important, but every act of administration of the Emperor will be carefully scrutinized by entire Europe, while the sense of responsibility will for a time act as a check upon the Emperor.Every one who knows him believes he would warmly welcome the opportunity to win laurels as a great military chieftain.\u2014 Six Dollars for the Widow.EL Paso, Tex., June 18.\u2014The case of Mrs.Nora Shean and infant son, of Plattsmouth, Neb., against the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fee Railway Company and the Mexican Central Railway Company for $20,000 damages, ended yesterday in a verdict of $6 azainst the Mexican Central.William Shean, the husband of Nora Shean, was employed as à switchman by the Mexican Central.January 28, 1887, Shean was killed while making up a train in the Santa Fe yards, in this city, to be taken over the Rio Grande to the Mexican Central, The trial showed that the cars had passed from the control of the Santa Fe to the Mexican Central; hence the late ter was held responsible.\u2014 Uncle Mose Was 115 Years Old.Memrnrs, Tenn., June 188.\u2014Moses Jenkins, colored, of Coffeyville, Miss, the oldest person in the State, or perhaps in the United States, died at the almshouse in Tallahatchie County this week.Uncle Mose at the time of his death was one hundred and fifteen years of age and was a plowboy on a plantation at the close of the Revolution. 2 TRADE AND COMMERCE.POG THE HERALD OFFICE.Monday Evening, June 18, 1888, Montreal Stock Market.There was a rather better feeling in stocks to-day, but the market continues very dull and without any interesting feature.Gas and Telegraph were the most active stoces, and over two-thirds of the trading was in these securities.Bank stocks were almost totally neglected ;

at our quotations, viz.: Montreal 8,C.pork.viseses.19.50 @ 20.Western S.C.C.00. in.Whether the Gazette blundered or Ialsified, or cooked the figures, when it placed the expenditure for the nine months at $3,089,525, is not for us to say.The people cannot fail to note the falsification or cooking, and draw their own conclusions.That is the kind of criticism to which Treasurer Shehyn\u2019s budget speech is treated throughout in the Gazette's articles.The public can judge \u2018whether it is fair, legitimate or decent.The ingenious attempt of the Gazette to make the people believe that the Mer- «cier Government \u201clevied $557,665 on the trade and commerce of the province \u201d is in keeping with its course of criticism.The Mercier Government did nothing of the kind.They simply collected the tax imposed on commercial corporotions by their Tory predecessors\u2014nothing more It is to be presumed that one of the objects for which a Government exists is to administer the laws; and so long as the act taxing commercial corporations remains on the statute books\u2014placed there by a Tory Government\u2014it will nave to be enforced.As to increased expenditure in some departments of the public service.thatjis to be expected ; the increase is legitimate and necessary, and its extent will depend upon the development of the province and the increase of population.The Gazette conveniently ignores this feature of the financial gituation in its attack upon the budget speech, just as it ignores the chaotic condition in which Mr.Mercier's prodeces- sors left the finances, the huge legacy of floating debt and the empty treasury they bequeathed to the Liberal administration.In one breath the organ charges the Ministry with reckless extravagance, ard in the next breath charges them with having, in regard to estimates for next year, \u201cpared down the appropria- \u201c tions below the requirements of the \u201c service.\u201d As nsitherexfravagance nor economy seems to suit our contemporary, it should define what it wants.Perhaps it wants a return of the halcyon Tory days when the expenditure exceeded the estimates by $1,295,075, when the yearly deficits were in the neighborhood of $ 350,000, and when the principal employment of the Tory Ministry, next to spending the money, was devising ways and means of extorting more money from the taxpayers\u2014 their latest exploit in that direction being the commercial corporations\u2019 tax.That was the time when the Gazette # laughed and grew fat\u201d The people don\u2019t want a return of those days; and the Mercier Government having unravelled the tangle in which they found the finances, having provided for the legacy of debts bequeathed to them, and having brought about equilibrium between re-

people's wishes in this respect shall be carried out.DUE TO TRE HEAT OR BEING IRTHE COLD.The Gazette which is suffering from Mercier rabies and growing dangerous\u2014 to its friends\u2014has recently become excited about the Fire Commissioners.This office was in its estimation very necessary while held by Mr.Curran and another Tory, but now that its duties are energetically and promptly perforined by two gentlemen, supporters of Mr.Mar- cier, the organ of the departed R)ss- Taillon combination is in a piroxyism- It speaks of expanse\u2014it thought nothin of expense while Mr.Curran anl Mr.Grenier were the fira marshals ; the offica ought to be abolished\u2014there was no thought of abolishing Messrs.Carran and Grenier, and generally the Tories being out in the cold everything is wrong.Now, as a matter of fact, the law constituting this office was passed by ths Gazette's Tory friends in 1868.Thera- fore, if the office is unnecessary the Gazette should have opposed its creation and its continued existence while it was maintained by Tory Governments and while Messrs.Carran and Grenier were the commissioners, instead of waiting until the Tory Government hal been turned out by a justly incensed people and the Fire Commis- sionerships transferred to two gentlemen of worthier political record than Messrs.Curran and Grenier.But even if the Gazette should plead that it took some time to discover that with Messrs, Cur- ran and Grenier as Fire Commissioners the office was a mistake, it by no means follows that it is equally devoid of usefulness with Messrs.Barry and Poirier.In the first place the office costs nothing to the province, and very little to the city.The city pays $1,600 to the commissioners, $400 to a special police officer, and $100 for warrants and contingencies.The insurance companies reimburse the city two-thirds of the above amounts.However useless the office may have proved under the manare- ment of the Gazette's friends\u2014and the Gazette is their accuser\u2014under Messrs, Barry and Poirier nearly 150 investigations have been held since their ap pointment in March, 1887, and they have caused one incendiary to be sent to the penitentiary for a term of years, and have secured \u201ca true bill\u201d against another.Now, if the Gazette has based its strictures on the record of its friends while they acted as Fire Commissioners, our contemporary will see that these censures are not applicable to Messrs.Barry and Poirier, who have proved themselves to be able and efficient officers.And the Gazette will find upon enquiry that the insurance companies are opposed to the abolition of the office, desiring it to be still farther expanded in its duties.The Gazette should visit Dr.Pasteur.MUSIC IN DOMINION SQUARE.A proper regret has been exprassed that the attendance at the performances of the Victoria Rifle band in Dominion Square have not been quite what might have been expected.Various reasons have been assigned for this.L\u2019Etendard says that the English are not fond of music, and it quotes Shakespeare to show what terrible people we must necessarily be.But then there is nothing sacred to a Sapper or L'Etendard, and we know that upon occasion our esteemed contemporary will lecture the Pope on Catholicity if needs be.The English must not, therefore, be thin-skinned on this score.They must cultivate music and try to lose some of those attributes which accompany a lack of musical appreciation.Some correspondents of the city press have explained the matter by saying that the selections made have not been good ones ; that there has been too much classical music, too much music by unknown composers, and a want of popular melodies.In reply to this another correspondent facetiously suggests that the thing wanted is a dash of the variety show; break-downs, clog- dances and so forth.Now it is a well known fact that every man can make à far better selection of music for a programme than any other man, but the difficulty is that there can only be one programme each evening.It may be suggested that this should be made out even the whole council.But if each musical member of that body were called upon to name a piece for the next programme it mighs be ag follows : Alderman Grenier\u2014 * En Roulant ma Boulle.\u201d Jeannotte\u2014 \u201c La Marseillaise.\u201d Kennedy\u2014 \u2018Rule Britannia.\u201d Tansey\u2014 \u201cThe night before Larry was stretched.\u201d Stevenson\u2014 * The British Grenadiers.\u201d and so on.This would do very well for one concert, but it would pall in time.As the public that attends these concerts\u2014prin- cipally as yet on the outside of the fence \u2014is a very mixed one it is necessary to cater for a variety of tastes, and it may be well to remember that at these summer evening out-of-door performances people like to hear music which they have heard before.It is not the time or place for the introduction of new or unfamiliar classical music.A new waltz or march may be all very well, and indeed is looked for occasionally, but in making selections from operas and the higher class music, a certain degree of familiarity and current popularity is desirable.These concerts ought to be supported by the public.They are a great boon, coming as they do, when the Academy of Music is closed.We have no doubt that they will be supported, for, in our belief, the reason for the meagre audiences heretofore this year may bz looked for in the condition of the weather.It has been cold and generally rainy, or threatening.The warm evenings are now upon us, and people will be glad to get a comfortable seat in the open air to listen to so good a band as that of the Victoria Rifles.THE MEDICAL BILL.The hostyity to the Medical bill now before the Quebec Legislature is daily growing.The two sub-sections of the 4Sth clause to which attsntion has al- ! ready been drawn in Tue HeriLp, would ! seem to have been dasignel as a pitfall for members of the Lezislature.To ask an elected member to assist in the passage of a bill which would prevent every one of his constituants having recourse to one or other of the medicines which for this or that ailment they have been accustomed to use must have been either a joke or a trap.It is possible to imagine a physician desiring to prevent any parson biy- ing a popular medicine without first paying a physician's fee, bat it is not easy to believe that any member of the Legislature, depending for his political life on the good will of his constituents, agreeing to vote for such a measure.To say to a working man or his wife, \u201c You shall not ask a draggist for advice or information concerning anything you may think of buying from him ; if you are in pain or suffering he shall not tell you of anything that will relieve you; before you can get any assistance of this kind you must go to a physician and pay his fee for a prescripticn\u201d would be oppression, and neither men nor women expsct to find the representatives aiding in such autocratic and indefensible measures.So far as our experience goes no one has said that the great majority of what are known ag * patent medicines\u201d are harmful.The great sale that there is of them shows that\u2019 there are many thousands who use them, and to forbid their sale\u2014 for that is practically what the Act does \u2014would be an unnecessary and arbitrary act.We trust that thess two clauses, at least, may be expunged from the Act.WHAT WILL HIS POLICY BE?There are in the Emperor William's address to the army and navy of Germany unmistakable indications of the warlike tendencies of his nature and outcroppings of a desire to distinguish himself as a soldier.The tone of these ad- dregses, taken in connection with the fact that some months ago he freely expressed the opinion that the present state of armed tension in Europe should be brought to an end, indicates pretty clearly that he will be disposed to precipitate the anticipated crisis and hasten the final outcome of the present strained political situation, whether the result be peace or war.As Emperor of Germany, it would seem to be impossible for him to maintain the same patient striving to avert war ag wag manifested by his father and grandfather; and he certainly will ba indisposed to wait for a convenient time for either France or Russia to attack Germany.Indeed, he may consider it wise for Germany to antiwipate the inevitable with very little delay, and demand such explanations of Russian armaments as will precipitate war.He fully believes that the triple alliance is able to defeat any coalition that France and Russia may be able to form.Of course, this is assuming that he may be disposed to have his own way, rather than be guided by the experienced and cautious advice of Bismarck, whose diplomacy has always been based upon the consideration that in the case of war Germany should not appear as the aggressor, but as defending herself from attack, If the Emperor William means to have his own way, he may spoil the plans of the wily Bismarck.Despatches, however, intimate that for the present, at least, he will submit himaeif to the Chancellor's guidance, whose policy he is said to admire, and with whom, as well as with Count Herbert Bismarck, he is on the most friendly and intimate terms.Notwithstanding this, according to European press correspondents, the opinion prevails at Continental capitals that be will ere long assert his own personal views and direct Germany\u2019s foreign policy in a channel which will end in one way or the other, by disarmament or war, the state of armed tension now existing on the Continent.It is this view which creates uneasiness in Europe.CS, AN ExcHANGE Comments on the editorial publication of the British flag in the organ of those Tory Ministers who have adjourned to the United States (the Winnipeg Call.)

It is a great misfortune for Germany that she should be doomed to lose such a ruler at such a time.The wheels of political progress are turned backward by the bereavement, and the people are powerless to prevent it.While it would be premature to form a definite judgment of the new Emperor as a monarch, it is well understood that he is of a different type from his father.And the difference is not in his favor.His tendencies are towards militarism and abselutism.With respect to his rule the best that can be said 18 that it will doubtless be mainly directed by Bismarck.The peace of Europa is less secure because of his accession.(Hamilton Times).We take the risk of being sent to prison for expressing our opinion 1n regard to the sentence passed by Judge Wur- tele, at Aylmer, Que., on the two Government employees who pleaded guilty to stealing $1,000 of funds entrusted to their care, In the \u201cgood old days\u201d of Tory misgovernment in Quebec Province, the accused men, Cosgrove and McCabe, were bosses of a gang of colonization road men and it was while acting thus that they stole the money.The judge looked so leniently upon their crime that he merely sentenced them to six hours in jail, certainly not a great discouragement to those tempted to embezzle when placed ina position of trust.By the way, how comes it that Cosgrove, while employed as an officer in the Inland Revenue Department, found time to boss roadmen for the Quebec Government?A great deal of overtime is paid by the Dominion Government every year.By compelling employees like this man to work for their salaries, an immense amount could be saved, but Ottawa Tories will never be charged with doing anything like that.They exist to spend.MARRIED.ATKIN-STEPHENSON.\u2014On Monday, the 18th inst., at the Church of St.James the Apostle, by the Rev.Canon Ellegood, Rector, John Atkin, to Emily H., only surviving daughter of James Stephenson, all of Montreal.DIED.CAMPRELL.\u2014At Ottawa, on Sunday, 17th inst., Mary Ann McGlinn, beloved wife of James J.Campbell, of the Customs Department, Ottawa, aged 3¢ years.The body will arrive in Montreal by the C.P.R.train, at 8 o\u2019clo-k this evening.The funeral willtake place from her father\u2019s residence, No, 92 Gain street, on Wednesday morning, at_9 o'clock, to Cote des Neiges Cemetery.Friends and acquaintances are respectfully invited to attend.u NEW ADVERTISEMEN TS.The Advertising Department of \u2018\u2018 The Herald\u201d is under charge of Mr.Joseph \u201cSPRINKLERS!
