YosK, Jan.9\u2014As Broadway is dear to the heart \u2018fthe native of Manhattan Island, and pleasant to the floating population, it inay ba of interest to note that this great thoroughfare is attracting the attention of the world of engineers tunnel-wise turned.Itis proposed in plain English to make a common subway for rapid transit.The under- dertaking as a whole is critigised chiefly on account of the expense it would involve.Those in favor of the great beart \u2018system are increasing in nombers, and it is thought by these that a railroad tunnel could be oon.structed simultaneously with the other tm- provements in Broadway, which I have spoken of from time to time, The railway and pipe subway,they say,could be carrisd on separately and independently, of each other and if the double enterprise were undertaken all question of cost could be easily solved.The outside limit would be $2,002,000 per mile, if two tunnels were constructed with one track in each tunnel.No allowance ig made in this estifnate for damages to property, because il is declared that there would be: no damages.The tunnels could be completed from the Battery to the upper ead of Central Park, according to the American way of working,in two and one-half years, and during this period of excavation the only visible sign that work was going on below the surface, would be the removal of excavated material from the shafts.Now ifasub- way chamber and a cable way were built at 1he sauge time.some part of Broadway would be impassable for general travel for a periou + f not less than two years.This gives rise to the question whether some part of Broadway had not better be abandoned for that period it the finprovemenis when completed shall give permanent security from further disturbance.German Opera atthe Metropolitan Opera House has been exceedingly interesting this week.On Monday night Beethoven\u2019s noble work \u2018Fidelis\u2019\u2019 was repeated, and the public demanii for this opera was

adaptéd for wear, both in appearance and texturé than the néw \u2018wool fabrics, Not only do the rough, shaggy surfaces shown in s0 mahy instances gjve ample promise of wartbth and comfort, bat the fibres are invariably so soft aud thick and so closely woven as te render the goods well-nigh impervious to cold\u2019and dampness.Combinations, which for a time seemed to have lost\u2019 their hold oa popular favor.are once more in the ascendant.Some of the French costumes uhite fancy wool goods and plain silken or woollen fabrics.Homespuns and cheviot- have never before been regarded @s especially dremsy fabrics, but they are now fashionably worn on the drive and promenade and at day receptions.Their desirability for dressy gowns fs admirably broaght out by assotlazing fancy sad pin silks and even velvets with them Irish frieze belongs to the homespun order.\u2018Imftations of the ma- \u2018terial have appeared from time to time, but the genuine fabric is so superior, both in

left side and is disposed below in plaits that flow toward the lower edge.At the right side 1t is laid in plaits that extend from \u2018the belt to the lower edge, and the back drapery is arranged, to

below the waist line, and the front is closed in double-breasted fusbion with buttons and bution-holes.The fronts are reversed at the top in lapels that rorm notches with the roiling collar, and between the lapels is disclosed a chemisefte of the faiile.A high coilar to match if at the neck of the chemisette and®stands avove the rolling collar at the back, and vhe sleeves, which are also of

work is literally nothing but play to them.This is, indeed, the great drawback of it.A boy draws a man\u2019s salary, and has no chance for regular wholesome work with it, He cannot go to school, and learns nothing in effect except the art of waiting on his «lders.They have a comfortable room down at the Capitg), and nobody is disposed to make life hard\u201d for them If a ni:ht sess on la-ts into

The jewel reputation, that's what she\u2019s robbed me of!

Why, they've been that jealous of this new woman, as they call her, and of me building a theatre for her, and cracking her up to be the finest soprano and the grandest singer in the world.then when they hear she's sold tne they'll be ready to split \u2018em elves for joy ; that\u2019s what they'll be! And if they could only get me to ask one of \u2019em to take her place, so as to give a chance to say, \u2018Don\u2019t you wish you may get me?I do believe they'd split outright and be done with it!\u201d \u201cYou're confoundedly vulgar this \u2018morning, Inigo,\u201d obrerved his friend musingly.\u2018\u2018They say success i- ie trying than adversity, but I think the reverse is true in your case.Of course I wasn\u2019t thinking of substituting Patti or Scalchi, or any of that caliber.They'd stand on their dignity, naturally ; butas your great Russian is entirely unknown here, except by reputation, [ was _ thinking\u201d\u2014 He paused.\u201cOut wi h it, man.if there\u2019s anything ; ee exclaimed Gen.Inigo impa- Tian of antiquated prejudices and aris- .byothe: way, L can\u2019t: decide about.it till tient ae ble retic lineage AR make ; himself Ney | \u2019 >» claim 4 1 \u201cBv George, I shouldn't wonder iis 5 Mirtoit Hé\" fe WF Srded-thiv\u201cSfiportunity.: C othr.as\u201d i nen 2XS fo oo et.\u2014 THE, MONTREAL HERALD SATURDAY JAN.10, 1891~EXTRA SHEET MCINTYRE, SON& CO (MPORTERS AND MANUFACTURER'S AGENTS | igvetumtook the best value © te bad in , SCOTCH AND IRISH LINENS PLAIN CASHMERES AND SERCES D DRESS COODs ULSTERINCS oould be done! muttered Jooctyn, nate } The result, atany rate, at the time ot tohimeelt, \u2018Why not?Tkera's necessity end brf dottreides I\u201d _ \u201cWhat'sshat 7\" damgnded the ge .SF tell you wiilat want you todo, igo,\u201d said Jocelyn, throwing the butt of hid cigar into the firepiace, and resuming his hat.\u201cI\"want you to finish putting on your clothes and get yeur- self into à composed and respectable frame of mind, and then join me downstairs, and we'll go over to the club and have breakfast.I've had only a cup of coffee this morning thus far!\u201d \u2018*Have breakfast?\u2019 cried the general indignantly.\u201cIs that all you.have to - propose?\u201d \u201cNo; not by a good deal, Unless I'm very much mistaken I've gota schemes that'll set you on your legs again, upset all the rivals and make your great Russian strangle herself for rage.But I'm going to turn it over in my mind first, and then I'll let you into it in my own way.You came to the right quarter this time, old fellow.But it isn\u2019t every man in the world, let me remind you, that's got a Hamilton Jocelyn to advise him.\u201d \u201cAll I have to say,\u2019 returned Inigo, as he took his place once more in front of the looking glass and selected another neck scarf from the drawer, \u2018is that whoever does Moses Inigo a good turn never has any reason to regret it.That's alll have to say at present.We'll go into details when we've heard what the good turn looks like.\u201d \u201cYou'll ind me below in tho reading room,\u201d said Jocelyn turning, with his hand on the door.\u2018You'd better make your arrangements so that we can leave town if necessary and be away all night.And, mind you, don\u2019t open your mouth to any human soul about what has happened.Everything depends on that.\u201d \u2018I guess I know how to hold my tongue anyhow,\u201d exclaimed the impresario resentfully.But before he could say more the door had closed and he was alone.In the course of ten minutes he finished his toilet and sallied forth, jingling his door key as he went.\u201cIf he pulls me out of this scrape, by Jupiter, I'll make his fortune,\u201d he murmured to himself, as he took the elevator to the office floor.When the two gentlemen were seated at their breakfast table, in a retired corner of the club dining room, and had awallowed their first cup of coffee, Jocelyn opened his mouth and spake as follows: \u201cHow old is your Russian phœnix ?\u201d \u2018She looks twenty and may be thirty,\u201d the general replied.\u201cWhat's her style?Stout or thin, tall or short, dark or fair?\u201d , \u201cThat's about as she likes, I expect.\"She's what ! call a true child of nature \u2014changes with the seasons,\u201d said the other with a wink.\u2018\u2018One of those women with hazel eyes and oval face, and hair all the way from straw color to black, that can make \u2019emselves look like anything.She's about medium height.When we'd signed the contract at our last interview,\u201d he continued, putting on a diabolical leer of retrospective gallantry, *\u2018I pressed a chaste salute upon her brow, and didn\u2019t have to stoop for it,\u201d \u201cProbably it was the recollection of that embrace that influenced her in throwing up her engagement,\u201d remarked Jocelyn drylv.\u2018You\u2019re a dangerous fellow with women, Inigo.in some senses! Better make all ycur salutes parting ones\u2014final partings.Well, to continue, does she speak English?\u201d \u2018Just as well as I do myself,\u201d return- 2d the general emphatically.Poor girl!\" said Jocelyn as if to himself.\u2018What are all these questions for, rnyhow?\u2019 demanded Inigo, after a pause.What sort of an actress is she?\u201d wen on Jocelyn, not noticing the interrup tion.\u201cRealistic or conventional or what?\u201d \u2018Independent, I should call her,\u201d said the other.\u2018She doesn\u2019t seem fo act much anyhow, if you know what I mean.Free\u2014graceful\u2014spontanpous!\u201d be explained, waving his short arm about, with a forkful of mashed potato in his hand.\u201cWorth your maney to 32e her just walk about the stage,\u201d he added, engulfing the potato in hig enormous jaws., \u2018Shell dol\u201d said Jocelyn, leaning back in his chair with the air of B man who has succeeded in an arduogs and ingenious enterprise.\u2018Your famous Russian diva, my dear Signor Impresario, lives not more than a hyndred miles from where we are sitting; and if I know anything about human mature, and hers in particular, she will make her appearance as per advertisement, and .sing herself and you up to yout chins in bank notes, not to mention my modest little commission!\u201d \u201cBah! What ails him now?\u201d said the general, helping himself to another croquette.\u201cLet me tell you a little story,\u201d continued Jocelvn, \u2018\u2018About a hundred miles from New York city thera lived, \u2018once upon a time, - eautiful and talented young lady, only daughter of a father who had brought her up in luxury, r-finement and seclusion.This young lady had an nazing genius for music, and a voice so ravishing that the larks came down from the clouds to listen to her nd th irhtingales grew hoarse with unavailing rivalry.The .best instructor in the world was procured to train her, and in the course of 8 few years he turned her out finished in every respect.But, unfortunately for mankind, lier affluent circumstances forbade her appearance on the public stage.Ai this juncture, however, a providentiai change of circumstances al.| tered the entire complexion of her car- ser: She had a brother, a wild and gräceless youth, who, finding his native place too narrow for the development of hjs energies, went forth to investigate - foreign lands, with an unlirait:d letter of credit on the paternal exchequer.Now, this same letter of credit is the specious\u2014apecie, I would say\u2014dis- guise of the fairy who works the transformation.The energetie youth makes use of it to'such good purpose that in less than a year from the time of his departure, he has not only exhausted the family income, but has made desperate inroads into the capital, niost.of which has to be sold and the remainder heavily mortgaged\u2014the old gentleman: paying all demands for the sake of what he calle the honor of the family, though \u2018 other people might think it was in order to prove whatan incorrigible idiot a which we speak is that the old gentleman finds himself choked with honor and destitute of caf that he ison the point of being obliged to sell the ancestral mansion in order to satisfy the credé tors, that were the honor he has preser atso high a price worth any.\u2018thing in the market he might, perhgps, be disposed to mortgage some of it in consideration of an assurance of bread and butter for the rest of his life.\u201d I've heard of gifted amateurs before aow.\u201d began Inigo, shaking his big head him.What you've heard before is nothing to the purpose,\u201d said he.\u2018\u2018Thisis pre cisely the case that contradicts all experience.Now, it so happened that à certain distinguished impresario had spent vast sums and made stupendous preparations to introduce a famous 8 ng- er to the New York public.It so happened, too, that the diva in question, although so famous, was personally quite unknown in this country; and, as if for the special purpose of imsuring the success of the grand enterprise that was preparing, she had taken a whim to allow no portraits of hemelf to be exhibit ed.For some cause, at present unknown to this historian, the diva at the last moment backed out of her con: tract.The distinguished impres ario, with disgrace and ruin star ing him in the face, luckily bethought himself to consult the wisest man of his acquaintance, who, by virtue of his presence of mind and penetration, promptly saw the way out of the diffi.cuky.He took the impresario with him tothe ancestral mansion aforesaid, where the young lady sang to them and was instantly made the recipient of the following offer by the impresario: That she was to assume and inviolably maintain the name and personality of the Russian diva; that under this name and character she was to come to New York, take up her abode at the most fashionable hotel and receive whatever company will venture to form the acquaintance of a lady with a history so formidably and fascinatingly scandalous as hers.In consideration\u201d\u2014\u2014 **Hold on ! hold on !\u201d said Inigo, with à shake of his hand in the air, \u2018I ses what you're driving at.I didn\u2019t take it in at first that your amateur was ta appear as the diva herself, as well a8 to be her substitute.It's a smart notion, but I expect it'll do better to talk about than to try.She'd slip up somehow.She might carry it out for a day or two, but when you come to two or three months, that\u2019s another story ! It would take a better actress than I've ever come across to\u2019'\u2014\u2014 \u201cShe won\u2019t have co act at all,\u201d Jocelyn interposed.\u2018\u2018The public of course will have made up its mind beforehand that she is the real original diva, and the more unsophisticated she appears the more convinced and charmed they\u2019ll be.They'll take her innocence to be the diva's consummate hypocrisy, man alive ! and any unfamiliarity she may show on the stage to be the perfection of acting.But, for that matter, when once they've heard her sing they wouldn\u2019t exchange her for all the divas in Christendom !\u201d \u201cIf she can sing-\u2014yes!\u201d said the im- pregario rather skeptically.\u201cDid yoy ever happen to hear of a gentleman by the name of Dorimar?\" inquired Jocelyn, putting down his wristbands and folding his handsome hands on the edge of the table.\u201cOld Dorimar?Rather! Best man in the profession.Dead now, poor old boy! Ah, if he'd only kept his voice\u201d \u201cDorimar was the instructor I.mentioned just now.He went up one day to hear her try her voice, and the consequence was he stayed three years to listen to it.He told mea month before : be died that she was the finest soprano, with the grandest method, he'd eves known.\u201d \u201cThe devil he did! fool, that's a fact.\u201d \u201cI found her out before he did.If it hadn\u2019t been for me where would you be now, friend Moses?\u2019 \u201cThat's all right; but I've got to hear ber first.\u201d \u201cThat's why I told you to make your arrangements to be out of town to-night.| We'll take the noon train up there.I've telegraphed \u2019em to expect me.We'll settle with her to-night, and be back in town to-morrow morning.Now, as to terms.You'll have to pay her what you'd promised the diva.\u201d \u201cOh, I will, will I?I'll see about that!\u201d returned the impresario with a shrewd grimace.\u2018No need of mei + lieving she\u2019s-the real diva as well as th.audience!\u201d : In that case we won't take the noor train,\u201d said Jocelyn firmly.\u201cSay, my boy, what's your game?\u201d in iuiredthe other sfter à pause, during wich the men had looked intently at each other.\u201cDo you want me to pay you her salary, and you hand her over whatever doesn't stick to your fingers\u2014 is that it?He! he! he!\u201d \u201cYou're a coarse minded idiot,\u201d eaid Jocelyn brusquely.\u2018You attend to your business and let me manage mine.I know what I want and how to get it.1f she\u2019s notall I say she is, of course the bargain\u2019s off altogether.If she is, you'll have to pay for her\u2014that\u2019s all.And if you don\u2019t like those terms you can get out of your scrape yourself-\u2014if you can!\u201d \u201cYou ought to be a rich man, my boy, one of these fine days,\u201d remarked the impresario meditatively.\u201cWell, if she comes up to your report I'll agree.But if she doesn\u2019t\u201d\u2014 .\u201cIf she doesn\u2019t I'll stand the railway fare there and back!\u201d said Jocelyn, and \u201cwith that they laughed and rose from the table.As they were passing out of - the room a tall young man, with a thick brown beard and severe blue eyes, met them in the doorway.He had a roll of paper in his hand.*Yow're the man I'm looking for,\u201d he said to Inigo.-*Halloo, Bellingham!\u201d satd Jocelyn.\u201cHow comes on the Temple of the \u2018All right,\u201d replied the gentleman so addressed, rather curtly, as his maæner was.He looked at Inigo and added, \u2018\u201cThere\u2019s a point about the construction ot'the stage eutrance I must consult you on.\u201d \u201cI'm in a devil of a hurry,\u201d objected the impresario reluctantly.\u201c1 want only ten minutes,\u201d Belling- ham said, a Dorimar was no Lu \u201cYou architects are worse than\u2014oh, .« \u201cThe with a sigh: but Jocelyn interrupted | = 0356, 4100 oD avi de Bog Mop \"paper, Ho glanosti at Jocélyn'Urid wert .on, \u2018Come to the office to-morrow after noon and we'll fix it.\u201d kmen will have to wait,\u201d wid Bellinghmm.\u2018\u201c\u201cRverybody has to do that returned she impresario Sententiously, \u201cand wig & nod he and Jocelyn went out._« NA | x CHAPTER IIL HOW LOVELY \"MUSIC IS A SACRED THING, MY CHILD,\u201d HE WOULD OFTEN SAY TO HER.\u2018What is more worthy the contemplation of a humane mind than the spectacle of a pretty young woman?It is the least selfish of all pleasures.By learning we seek to elevate ourselves above our fellows; by philcsophy, to console ourselves for the past and to fortify ourselves for the future; by relizion (as it is commonly practice.l), to make ourseive: respectable in this world and comfcr- table in the world to come.But he who stands rapt in the 1ascination of a gr.s beauty enjoys the possession by anotner of what he can never have himself, admits his inferiority ind generously exalts in the existence of goodness for its own sake.The sole drawback is the: risk he runs of falling in Jove\u2014that is, of wishing to restrici to himself à blessing designed to rejoice mankind at large.It might seem a pity that sucha girl as Beatrix Randoiph should be so situated as not to have it in her power to confer upon every one the unselfish gratification whereof we speak.But to be rare and difficult of access are among the conditions of mortal loveliness.In ao other way, perhaps.could the heavenly aroma be preserved; and were we to become callous to beauty.as we do to pain, life would have nothing left to promise us.On the other hand, dullness is negative, delight positive, and a single day of glorious sunshine compensates for a whole blank week of lifeless landscape and leaden sky.But Beatrix, though delightful to look upon, was not beauty in the abstract; she wasfirst of all a distinct and concrete human person.[tis fitting, therefore, to consider not so much the loss the world sustained by her seclusion, as its effect upon herself.Certainly she was not of a temperament naturally inclined to solitude.She was quick to feel emotions of all kinds, and apt and simple in the expression of them.Her propor- tious, both of the soul and the body, were symmetrical and active; as she moved easily and sweetly, so wag she sweetly and easily moved.Her life, in spite of its circumscribed conditions, ° showed an instinctive love ¢f largeness and variety, and herein she was helped by a generous and hvely imagination.\u2019 She could not read a story or.watch the sun rise without engendering in her mind a thousain\u2019 resh ideas of the possibilitiesofe» #& e And her body was in such fin.sarmony with he spirit that you could see a stirring thought turn to roses in her cheeks, or conjure diamonds to her lovely eyes.When she came forth in the morning from her maiden chamber, having put on, let us say, à fresh, white gown.just crisp enough to whisper as she stepped, and a pink or a blue ri\u2019 wm (as fancy might dictate) at her t:ro and on hex hair, and her figure elu, c and aler: with the wholesome vigor of nineteen years, and a mouth that laughed fragrance and music, and large brown eyes, which | esides being as beautiful as pos sible in themselves were rendered yet more so by being a few shades darker than her rippled hair and * * * * and handsthat were white wonders of warm flexibility and tapering softness; when this exquisite young American girl, in short\u2014type of the most charming and most intelligent womanhood in the world\u2014come dawning like Aurora out of the room in which she had been dreaming visions only less lovely than herself, it did seem as if the Golden Age were now about to begin, and as if nothing false or impure were henceforward possible.She explained, without uf, tering a word, why the grass in spring is 80 deliciously green, the sky is of sa tender a blue, why birds sing and water is transparent, why violets have perfume, and the sun warmth.She was the spoken secret.of the universe\u2014the interpretation of its fairest elements.By what mishap, then, was such a creature confined (as she was) to a few square miles of village land in the tenter of the state of New York?Was such a pearl created only \u2018to be cast before cattle, and the village grocer\u2019s son,, and the hollow chested young Unitarian minister, and the innkeeper\u2019s daughters?The world could not afford it, and yet there she was, and just at the time fhig, story begins there sesined to be rather 1088 PrODAaUSLLY vim usHn OF ue \u2014e getting agvwhere Jse Continued Y-xt 9strrday.past The Cream vt yy» Havana Crop, We beg to noti'y ibe trade, and more |;,.particularly those \u2018customers whom we have kept waiting for several months for our La Cadena.and La Flora brands.of cigars, (owing tp the Havana crop not | baving been at that time in fit condition to use) that we are now commencing to manufacture the above mentioned brands, our buyer, who has just returned from Havana, having purchased several lots of tobacco, which were picked from the Cream of the Crop regardless of price.We make no idle boast when we state that our clear Havana cigars are equal in every respect to the highest class of imported at much less figures.We wish particularly.to impress upon smokers the fact that these brands are sot made in competition with the great masjorits of rank cheap Hevaua cigars shat,aré offared to.the public gs fine 1 ul sO.Le Lu Out gi ! \"04 AND UNFORTUNATE SHE WASt od FANCY BLACK ROUILLON'S KID DOMINION .bars, rivets, rounds, etc.our works un our furnished If desired, 29777 PLAI ew fo MELVETEENS- -\u2014\u2014 CASHMERE;HOSE, ail sizes _EMALIWARBS\u2014\u2014 CLOVES, Jouvin cut.13 VICTORIA SQUARE, Montreal COMPANY, LIMITED WON BRIDGES AND STANDARD IRON WORKS | Works Office at Lachine Locks, Que., reached by the Canadian Pacific and Great Northwestern Telegraphs,, which run direct to the office, or by Bell Telephone 8208A and Federal Telephone 2300A.We bulld Ratlway and Hichway Bridges of all designs In both Iron and Steel Plate and Lattice Girders, Pin and Link or Rivited Truss Work, Trestles, Swing Bridges, Jurniables, Roofs, \u2018dels phone Poles, House Girders, Truss Rods, Mloman Eyebars,or any and all kinds of Structural [ron Work.Qur stock in hund com prises steel beams, angles, ties, channels, plates, rolled edge flats, ron beams, bars, squares, rounds, turnbuckles, rivets, e ¢.We are the only importers in Canada who keep a regular saiaried inspector in England.and we guarantee to furnish you with just what you order.All material 18 tested and inspected at the mills before shipment or we can do testing at sting machine [Emery\u2019sl, capacity 7 A Joseohine à tons, and test reports can b.T.MERRITT & GO.'S Clenrosa Pure Highland Malt Whisky Was awarded the Gold Mecal Paris Exposition 1889, and had the highest award of any Whisky for Purity and Excellonce of Quality at the London.Health Exhibition in 1884, the only time it was ever exhibited, and each time attaining the highest award.\" JOHN OSBORN, SON & CO.Sole Agents for U.S.and Canada, 3134 PRIZES \u201c \u2026 GAPITAL PRIZE.Worth $15,000.00 BU Ask for circulars.\u2018 1 Worth $62,740.00 Tickets, - - - $1.00 \u201cfor - $10.00 NG, N.(4,189 LIST OF PRIZES tL Pr ze worth $15,600.$15,040 (U ioe .a, .BNW 1 \u201c .2, Ay ow Lot * 140 wy 2 prises \u201c\u2018 Lvov ty 5 \u201c 1,060 Qu 2 \u201c o\u201c 1,000 & \u2026 \u201c 2) 20 0 \" Sudo ue se \u201c 5,000 00 Approximation Prizes.;

of chimerical schemes oould be floated\u2014when \u201cSouth Sea bubbles \u201d set people wild in their anxiety to get rich by speculation, But te-day men of means, and with them those who have a few dollars on which they desire to secure a large return, are more conserva- \"tive.They do not rush into wild- \u2018cat stocks or take hold of every scheme that may be hatched by Col.Selleree\u2014a type of man so gra- pLically depicted by Mark Twain but whom we have all met in real life, Enthusiasts they undoubtedly are\u2014in some cases no doubt hon- @st\u2014but in every case visionary.The practical man, looking to a return for his hard-earned money, prefers something tangible.He wants something he can see, something more solid than dreams,something not subject to the tricks of \u201cbulls\u201d and \u201cbears,\u201d something that no thief can break in and steal, \u2019 b.Does he think of stocks?Why, Within the past six months there - has been a shrinkage of between 16 and 2) millions of dollars in the value of stocks\u2014a fact well known to the moneyed men of Montreal who have been in the habit of investing in this illusory road to opulence.But for their present Enowledge they have paid aearly.What, then, is à solid investment?What never shrivels up, even under the darkest clouds of adversity ?From what, as political economists from Adam Smith down to Henry George have contended, is all wealth derived?Simply from the Land.Real estate, then, must form a permanent in- vestment\u2014or, rather, one where, if a man bays with jadgment, his holding is bound to increase in value\u2014and this whether it may rain or shine, Wall-street may be black with Fridays, and the greatest banking bouses go under, but the man with a real estaté holding 18 secure.An example of this can be found in our own community, In the dark financial days of 1874, Mr.Hogan purchased the Gale Farm.He pald therefor the sum of $830,000\u2014$50,000 in cash, giving a ten year mortgage for the balance, $280,000 at seven per cent interest.What is the sitdation to-day?Mr, Hogan has received $300,000 for property sold, $63,000 for street allowances, and has refused an offer of $500,000 for the portion remaining unsold, In other words, Mr, Hogan received from the city for street allowances property sold $13.00 more than his original investment, he has refused an offer of $£00,000 in all, $618,000 less interest paid as a profit on his investment of $50,000 sixteen years ago.Another advantage of an investment in zeal estate is that in cases of emergency you can always ob- tair am advance on it from some moneyed institution, whereas in the cage of stocks you cannot raise even & potato, no matter how much You may \u201cwater\u201d them, Real estate in Montreal or ime mediately adjoining is the safest investment to be made to-day.At the present prices of suburban property one cannot go wrong.Montreal has been growing sinee the days of Jacques Cartier, but never with such leaps and bounds as during the past decade.But thedirections in which Montreal can grow are circumscribed.The river is an effectual barrier on one side and the mountain on an- .other.No doubt these were prime factors in influencing the laying out.of the Montres] Annex, but there were others and inone sense more important ones.For jn- stance: 1\u2014It is the nearest-high-class rê- sidential property to the heart of the city.2\u2014Its high level, freedom from damp, raw air and the wet foundations inseparable from a river lot, _ combine to render it the healthiest location in the vicinity., 3\u2014The easy mode of access\u2014a \u2018bus line to run down to Craig- street, while St, Lawrence -Main- street,upon which the cars already - Fun, is only abont#00 yards distan 4\u2014This reason is one not inherent in the property, but it nevertheless exists, being the severe restrictions imposed as to the class of buildings that may be erected, brick or stone\u201d + .only being permitted in the stmc- tures.The rear portion of tha pot, northof the railway track\u2014which 18 80 situated that suburban trains will of necessity come to be run\u2014 is an admirablesite for manufae= turing purposes.It has been decid:d that the * prices of lots on this property will be réised on Jan.13, and that without fail, s0 that these who purchase in the meantime will secure all the advautages of the rise.: Hans, terms, and full praoti- culare, can be had at the office of Mossrs, McCualg & Mainwaring, 147 Su, James-street.; x BURNED WITH VIERIOL, » An Italian\u2019s Terrible

RB.Burkhard, one of the crack performers on cinders who has brought honor to the eolors of the Pastime Athletic Club, of New York, which ofgan- ization he has moat creditably represent- | ed for several years past, first made hig.appearance on the racing path at the an- nupl indoor games of the Twelftn Regi- mént Athletic Association, held at their armory an the evening of April 26, 1886, Although he did not achieve success in his maiden encounter, he finished second, aided by a start of six seconds.On May 29 following he appeared among the contestants at the games of the Pastimes Athletic Club, also in the mile walk, and this time he met with better fortuwe, thanks to the quickness and the fairness of his progression, his time for the distance beirig 7m.48s.He was next heard

feats of another, and there has beem much dispute on certain occasions whether certain feats were duplicated.Sandow contends that any competition in dead weight lifting will judge itself, for no sooner is the weight removed from its resting place \u2018than the object is accomplished.But with dnmb bell lifting the case is different.There must be a clean and well defined action, otherwise what is to prevent a big man from swinging the weight up over his head.A Long Meeting, The meeting of the Conference Committees of the Amateur Athletic Union and the League of American Wheelmen lasted nearly 10 hours.They refused to disclose what had been dous, for the very good reason that no definite plan for a cessation of athletics hostilities had been decided upon.The meeting adjourned subject to the causs of the chairman.Meanwhile effort will be made to have the amateur oarsmen send a delegation to the next meeting, which will be held probably next Saturday.Then it is hoped by all that some definite and satisfactory rule can be made in regard to the paying of athletes\u2019 expenses.meer CRICKET, Regarding the All America Team Visit to oo\" England.The following extract from English Cricket, Dec.26, speaks for itself : \u201c The visit of the All Americateam to England next summer does not seem to have the opproval of the chief supporters.of the | game in Philadelphia, which has been the nursery of cricket in America.We bave repeatedly urged on the promoters the meceasity of satisfying English orick- eters that the toar has the sapport, or at lopst the sympathy, of those who have worked bard and for many years under great difficulties, and im face of national prejudice, to acclimatize.An extract from which, The American Cricketer, | FHE MONTREAL HERALD, SATURDAY, JANUARY 10.1891.of the \u2018Cricketers\u2019! Association of the United States, shows that the leaders of the game in Philadelphia have not bean consult:d in any way.Further, it will be seen the feeling amdng the more influential members of tbe cricket community is altogether against the project.Under these circumstances we can nard- ly see how the trip will ten?to promote good feeling or assist the development of cricket in the States.As we have before stated, the Philadelphian \u201cleaders have worked unseifishly and devotedly to establish cricket.They have never forgotten to uphold the dignity as well as act in the highest intr.ests of the game, and of our own por- sonal knowledge we can vouch that they would heartily co-oporate in any scheme for tbe advancement of the American cricket without regard te local influences or intesests.The good work they have \u2018| done at least should entitle them to be considered in anything which pertains to American cricketers.\u201d London Sportsman also says : \u201cLatest American exchanges \u2018peint to à far from unanimous state of affairs in the Slates in connection with this visit to England next summer.This is deeply to be regretted, as to render tbe trip & success either from à cricket or financial standpoint the co-operation of all sections of the community in America is requisite.Otherwise it would be as well for the projécied tour to be abandoned, in spite of the fact that the program is vir- tuglly arranged.\u201d \u2014\u2014\u2014 THE TURF.New Jersey Jockey Club Found Guilty of Pool Selling, : SPECIAL TO THE HERALD, New York, Jan.9.\u2014The trial of the

continued so long as the weather will permit, yet there is a ramor in circulation that the track gates will be closed at an early date.The meeting has been successful even beyond expectations and the horsemen now here have the utmost confidence in the club.It is generally understood, however, that the track people intend to make big improvements before spring, amd in order to do so the racing must be discontinged for a short time.Many owners who have heard of the reports of the shut down for a short time state that they will remain at the course with their horses until the reopening.The parties hers speak in th» highest terms of the management of tha track, and especially Judge Nelson, in whoge integrity they have the utmost confidence.a \u20ac \u2026 Three - Crack.Cats.in a recest article \u2018Black and Blue\u2019 bas this to say of .three young horses thpt are expected to haves distinguished\u2019 career thig year :\u2014\u201c Bolero, Strathmeath, and Potomac, which by common consent are the three best colts of last year, are all stationed at Gravesend now, and among the trainers these are at all times the chief topic of discussion.On the merits of the parformances of theses colts one would single out Potomac as the the horse most likely to appeal to the judgment of the.average trainer as the coming 3-year-old.Af Gravesend, however, the decided favorite is Strathmeath.He is believed to have a world of apeed and to be & colt of more than ordinary power.He is of sluggish temperament and requires a little hustling and a reminder of the whip to get him to his highest flight of speed.I had the pleasure of seeing Strathmeath recently, and he bore out in his looks all that had been rumored of his development since he was retired in October.\u201cAs between Bolero and Potomac there is some division of opinion among trainers at Gravesend and those connected with the stables there.A majority believe that Bolero will win more money than Potomac.It is fair tosay that many who take this view hold the belief that the son of St.Blaise was not so good as he really seemed to be, and he was so fortunate only becsuse he came out at that period of the racing season when his rincipal competitors, Strathmoeath, Sallie McClelland, Ambulance aad Bolero had had too much racing, Others who stand by Bolero say that the colt was not so carefully trained as either Potomac or Strathmeath, and in addition he lost two races he would have won were it not for the incapacity or dishon- aty of bis jockey.Bolero is a grand looking hors?just now, and not at all the vicious fellow which some persons have painted him.\u201d Yearling Sold.SPECIAL TO THE HERALD.LExINGrON, Jan.9,\u2014Cecil Brothers, Danville, Ky., have sold to H.N.Camp, Knoxville, Tenn., a

to-night.He came to attend a meeting of railroad magnates to be held to-morrow, but found time to talk on yachting matters to The Globe correspondent at.the Brevoort House.The general manifested keen interat im the visits of Lieut.Hean to this city last week, and said he hoped to fini out what Lieut.Henn\u2019s visit is likely to result in before returning to Boston, Inasmuch as yachting talk here has turned on the dimension clause of the deed of gift governing the America\u2019s cup, and the power ofthe New York Yacut Club to waive it ander the mutual agreement claase, Gon.Paine was asked if, in his opinion, the club has this power.\u201cOf course it bas,\u201d said he positivaly.\u201cThere is only one clause which cancot be waived, and that is that the cap muse always be heid subject to the present deea.The club challeoging ani the, club challenged can arrange à ra:e arqund the world in any sizad boats they please if they so desire.Every - thing pertaining to the conditions of \u201clis match may be waived and the pa.ties mutaally agree on terms.\u201d \u201cWhat about the dimension clauie as it stands ?\u201d \u201cIt is undoubtedly to the advantage nf the challenger.This sesms strange to some people, I know; but let me give you an example.In the Valkyrie's chai- lenge, you remember, dimensions ware sent, and when it was known.here that she was only 70 feet on the water line there were several men.who wanted to build a 70-footer to meet her.If the New York Yacht Club had waived the | dimension clause entirely, all these men crown for Gallant Tom's chance of drawing the £100.The fiztht was for £30 a side only, and when it-whs over Sayers though he had fought all but his last aud best mown fights, begining with Aaron Jones, was stiil one of-the men \u2018of lish class whe had never won mora than £30.When Sayers was champion \u2014and it then seemed as 1f it was impnsaibie anybody could bess him, almost imooseible that anybody had beaten him\u2014I bave heard him wonder more than once what would have happeved if be had been beaten by Barry Poulson.He wauld have had to go back to werk or to le about in taprooms ; and evep ag it was ne didn\u2019k gus £25 clear by means of his victory.; Where Fugiitgts Are Wefseme.J.Jamison, the prosegi secretary of the Golden Gate Athletic Club of San Fr L- cisco, has written a let'er to Mr.E.F.a-

that the Occidental and Gold n Gate Athletic Clubs will be reorganized, but as theré is no material in San Fraa- cisco at present it may besomet'me before the clubis run asofold, if ever.The city can support ome good clan Steinits and: Gunsberg, .Repertpd expressly for The Ny ¥.rid hor rg, one of the contes 8.by Ever since thie beginning of the ma eb between: Messrs.Steinitz and Gunsberg chess players have eagerly expected the event which came off on the occasion of the 12th game.Everybody thought it bit against Steinitz to enable the latter to- adopt the same defense as in: the ade journed cable game against Tachigorin,, would have wanted to.built 90-footers, and thus the Valkyrie would have been ; out classed.In knowing the approximate dimensions of a challenging boat tbe challenged party would know ths problem it has to meet, and would endeavor to meet her with a boat about the same size.\u201cStill, this clause may be waived, and it would be tp our advantage to have it so \u201cYou speak of racing with boats of any size.If the dimension clause wera waived, could Englisamen butid over 90 feet?\u201d Ô : .\u201cNo; they wonld be limited to 90 feat ina boat of one mast, unless both pars ties agreed to waive size entirely.I look forward to a time when both parties will have trial races instead of only one, as has been the case, and it may also.come that single-maatsd

successful in such an undertaking, One cannot tell until the experiment is tried.\u201d Gen.Paine will see several New York Jachtsmen before he retures to Boston, and will probably know the inside of ail: the talk going on.Certain it is, however, that no challenge has been received: and no guarantee of one has been given either.Lieut.Henn kpows of a man who wants to challenge if the dimension clause will be waived, but the New York Yacht Club men say informally: \u201cSead on your challenge in any form you Please and then let us act on it.\u201d Gen.Paine seemed to silently echo their sentiments to-night Dunraven Will Not Race.BY TELEGRAPH TO THE HERALD.Loxnox, Jan.9.\u2014Lord Dunraven, the owner of the cutter Valkyrie, who challenged for the American Cup in the spring of 1889 through the Royal Yacht Squadron, says that he is still unalterably opposed to the conditions of the new deed of gift and will never race under the present conditions of an international challenge.Yachtsmen here do not appear to ser- ioualy regard the talk of an international challenge on Lieut.Henn\u2019s part.pp WRESTLING.Roeber Presented With the Championship Medal in New York, SPECIAL TO THE HERALD.New York, Jan.9.\u2014A congregation of sporting men were at The Police Gazette office yesterday to witness Richard K.Fox present Ernest Roeoer, of New York, the champion Greco-Roman wrestler, with The Police Gazette championship medal, which Roeber recently won by defeating Malakoff, the Russian champion, and Big Heinrich, the champion of the Central Turn Verain of New York.Roeber is going with Jake Kil- rain and Wm, Muldoon to San Francisco, and will assist the latter to train Kilrain for his battle with George Godfrey.Richard K.Fox in presenting the medal said that he was glad to be enabled to show his appreciation of Roe- ber\u2019s talents as à champion at wrestling by presenting him with such a valuable trophy,and trusted that he would defend the championship emblem against all comers and successfully hold the tropby ag long as he lived.Roeber \u201cin reply stated that he would defend tne trophy and meet all comers and that he barrea no one no matter whether he was Evan \u2018Lewis, Carl Abs or any other athlete.The Police Gazette medal is an elegant and valuable trophy, and Roeber and his friends were pleased with it.mecs?MISCELLANEOUS.He Was a Different Sort of a Mai From Coburn.London Referee: \u2014The other ancient fighting man who died last week, Harry Poulson, was a different sort of person alvogether from Coburn.There was nothing of the rogue or the shirker in Poulson\u2019s eomposition; he was a fighter cf the real old sort, of that sort which seems to have becomé #s \u2018extinct in these islands under the fostering cars of purse providers for glove flappings as Peulson\u2019s gres\u2018est and most famous fight was with Tom Sayers, whom he all bet best several times before the 8 hours and 8 min.of a January day in 56 du - ing which they struggled and fought was over.Men sll alive who saw that fight épeak of it as one of the most exeitl tt seen; men who are now id the same, and added that once or ; Lexmotox, Ey, Jan.8\u2014Thore is | | .pwice they wouldn't have given half-a- $ the dchtbyosaurus or the pterodactyl.| against the best play.this defensa should Mr.Gunsberg offer an Evans gembit.At the time of writing access to the precise wording of all of Mr.Steinite\u2019s challenges, issued on sev- | eral distinct occasions, is not to be had, ! but The International Chess.Magaz ne | contains the following statement by Mr.| Steinitz.Speaking of his seventh.move, [ Kt\u2014R3, be said, eome time iu the early } part of November : \u201cI offer to play that move against Mr.Gunsberg himself as often as he likes in |, our forthcoming match over the board ?| Subsequently, when discussing his 16 move of Kt\u2014K8, Mr.8teinitz was ua- erstood to say that with the substitu-\u2019 tion of Kt\u2014Kt sq he would play four |.times against Gunsberg from tais posi.| tion.Again, on Dec.13, Mr: &einitz |; further confirms this by a statement in a dally newspaper to the following effect: \u201cBy many 1t was expected that Gunaberz would offer an Evans-zamb't to his opponent, who,it may be remembered, |.stated eome time ago that.he would üa- dertake to play the defense in the Evans | four times with Guusberg from a certain position which at that \u2018time had been reached\u2018in this game with Techigorin.\u201d The resson why Gunsberg deferred an accoptauce of this challenge was not pe- cause he ever doubted that the line of the play adopted by Mr.Steinitz.offered splendid opportunities for attack, for Gunsberg has all along stated that in due time he would play the Evans-Gam- bit.His only object was-to deter playing this openicg until the match should have reacned a more advanced and in-| teresting stage.With eleven games played and the score standing four to two against him, Mr.Gunsberg felt that it was high time to make an effort to cheek his opponant\u2019s victorious progress by taking whatever risk there was In playing against that particular variation which Mr.Steinitz as'made the subject of special study | and exhaustive analysis of the past two years.Gunsberg gave apt expression to this | train of thought, when on his fourth | move he played P\u2014QKt4.He remarked to his opponent with an apologetic amile on his countenance: \u201cA \u201csick man may do anything,\u201d Great was.his astonishment when be perceived that playing the Evans gambit seemed to cause co.sider- able mental perturbation to his opponent.Mr.Steinitz met Mr.Gunsberg\u2019s remark by another query, the gist of which Was a question of ethics, namely, whether his challenge was binding on him, and whether he was compelled to adopt his own defense.Mr.Gunsberg, of course, declined to give a definits'auswer to that delicate problem, and merely contented himself with remarking in § general way: \u201cAll the world expects you to play your defense, but of course ou can do as you please about it.\u201d Dr.intz, who up to the present has faithfully watched the interests.of both players aa representative of the club here, kindly interposed by reminding Steinitz that he declared his intention to play this defense four times in this match, upon which Mr.Steinitz, but not without reluctance, proceeded with the well- krown moves of the Cable games.On his Twelfth move Mr.Steinitz was again taken with some doubts as to his way of proceeding, far he devoted half an hour to the consideration of his move, which, after all, he did not alter.On the sixteenth move, however, Mr.Stein.tz varied bis move.Iustead of Kt\u2014K g as played against Tschigowin he played Kt.\u2014K x5.This move is in accordance with formerly expressed views of Mr.Steinitz, who had signified his intention to modify his defense at that stage of the game.The remainder of the story is amply told by the notes of the game below.Buffice it to say that from this point, the sixteenth move, a sharp wrestie for the attack resulted, after eight moves, in the complete overthrow of the defence and e twenty-fourth move.The final collapæe was brought about by a finely considered and effective sacrifice of the Whites rook on the twenty-fourth move.ammated.Everybody expected that when Evans gambit was played a lively and interesting fight would result, , but it was little thought that the stroggle would be so short, sharp and decisive, and everybody present gave expreasion to their appreciation of \"the victors play by offering him their hearty congratnla.TWELFTH GAME.Evang Gambit I.GUNEBERG.W.SFRINITE, White.Black.E4 P\u2014-K

animosity towards any one on board of ship who ie not directly concerned in the navigation of the Vegsel.Blue-jackets of men-of-war know that cooke, stewards, hospital men, -Stokers and so forth are necessary, and a very little observation must show them that these men are generally the most steady workers on board, but the A.B, or even ordinary seaman, regards them with tip-tilted ncse and calls them % jdlers.\u201d Indeed, that is their official name.The boatswain\u2019s mate Pipes, \u201c Watoh and idles shorten Sail\u201d make sail, or what not when the work is more than enough for the \u201cwatch\u201d and not enough for all \u201chands,\u201d and theoretically the busy \u201cidlers\u201d are expected to leave their work below to haul on a rops on the Upper deck.Probably the same feeling runs in the merchant service; and as the fu\u2019vastie there can hardly evince ob- Jection to the passenger saloon, its occu- paats no doubt welcomed the cattle men from Montreal as people on whom they could ease their minds .a little.The investigation into the cattle trade o Canadæ has resulted in showing tha while Mr.Plimsoll has been grossly misled concerning the treatment of the cattls, he has brought to light the woes of an ill-used class of men.But it is not beyond the resourced of ciyilization to better the condition of the drovers who accompany the cattle.Rather than kill the trade altogether as Mr.Plimsoll hasbeen prompted to do, let them have feather beds, a gold band round their caps, and dine with the captain on Sundays.If there are difficulties in the way of this, then something should be done to remove the wrong which seems te have been fully established by the evidence.When it is remembered that amongst these men are lawyers, clergymen and members of Parliament, it is impossible mot to feel that there is wrong done, at least to the \u2018clergymen.And Mr.Ken- redy\u2019s evidence will excite some curiosity as to the names of these amateur: cattle drovers.Who were they?Amongst the members of Parliament was there avy Cabinet Minister, any Conservative member already showa up in the blue-books as a bood!lsr, any of the timber-limit snatcaing gentry, any blindshare boodlers, any fres grant men, any cattle ranche mea; who were thay?The Bank of England to a rotten paar that they were Macdonalditss; that if they had not been built in that way, their Ottawa education had taaght them how to steal a passage as catsle drovers.As for the cattle trade itself there cana be no longer any excase for the English bill.The thing now waated is a small committee of practical men to arrange such modifications aud improvements as bave been shown to ba necessary, and a public officer to inspect the vessels and their cargoes to ges that all instractions bave been carried out befora sailing Mr.Plimsoll has done some good, but his bona fide work, and we trust and believe he has no other, is practically finished.0-4 .WARNING MANUFACTURERS.The New York Commercial Bulle.in warns American mar uf acturers against making any large inves'ment or extension of business on the strength of the McKinley bil\u2019.It points cut that \u201cas plainly as any event can foresba iow t 1e future, the popular verdict of November the fourth indicates an early reaction fr.m our present tariff policy, and it i mot easy to forecast how far reduction of duties may then ran.Ail pradent manufacturers must see therefore that it would be assuming an unwarrantable risk to permit the McKinley Act to lead them into extending their capacity for production until future conditions are ascertained.\u201d Believing that manufacturers, looking at the situation from this standpoint, will be disposed to act prudently ard to adjust production as far as possible to the demands of the home market, our contemporary takes the view that prices will be well maintained, and that ia the majority of instances the prices of manufactured goods will be increased by the amount, or nearly the amount, of the increased duties, though the full effect of the new duties may not be experienced for some months to come.If The Bulletin's forecast be acsurate there is not likely to be any increased activity in American manufacturing circles.The proprietors of these establishments may be expected to -act cautiously waiting to ascertain defi- \u2018nitely to what extent the McKinley bill is likely to affect prices and how far the Democratic party will reform the tariff \u2018by reducing it.It is pretty certain that a more radical measure of reform than that contemplated by the Mills\u2019 bill will be required to satisfy the aroused sentiment of the go untry.- A LULL IN THE BEHRING SEA BREEZE.If, as is stated, Mr.Blaine aid Mr.Harrison have heen maligned, and that all the Secretary of State desires is that Lord Salisbury should join in a commis- , sion to Alaska to investigate the question of the increase or decrease of the seals and the causes thereof, and that \u2018after this the United States will agree to refer the whole question to arbitration if it seems to be necessary, thera should be no difficulty in arriving at a settlement honorable to both parties.Such a plan lets Mr.Blaine out of an untanable position without backing down to aay .action possible to be icterpreted as a threat, and it \u2018meets the just expectations of Great Britain.People on this side of the line have been unable t) 8% the smallest ground for Mr.Blains\u2019a former contention that the Behring Sea was \u201ca closed sea.\u201d The more imp rt- and portion of the United States pres daclared that such a contention coald rot be sustained, and Mr.Blaine appears to bave abandoned it.\u2018But there is a good deal of force in his plea that the question wes one of publie good manners, and that Great Britain onght not to desire to uphold any of its subjects in operations which were exterminating a property valuable to the whole world.The first question to be decidad\u2014assum- ing the closed sea theory to be abandon- ed\u2014is how far is this description of the seal bunters\u2019 operat'ons correct?When Mr.Blaine made the assertion, Lord Salesbury replied by saying that the re- | cords in the public offices of the United States showed that the seals were rapid- Jy increasing instead of decreasing.As this put Mr.Blaine\u2019s contention out of court a scientific gentleman of reputation was sent up to enquire into the real facts of the case.He reported that the eeals were rapidly decreasing in number but, we understand, he coupled with this information some more to the effect that the mischief was in great part done by the American company\u2019s way of killing the seal.Unless we are to suppose that the first reports were made to the American Government when they were sellers of the lease and the second when they desirad to keep off intruders, it is hard to racon- cile the two statements, and the proposal to send a joint commission to ascertain the truth is a reasonable and just one At any rate, the idea of the two nations allowing themselves to drift into war: over verbal quibbles seems too ridiculous to be seriously entertained.\u2014_\u2014\u2014\u2014 THE SILVER QUESTION.Mr.J.J.Hill, one of the railway kings of the American Northwest, is quoted as saying that the scarcity of money in the United States is \u201c mainly due to fear of an over-issue of silver in adyance of any \"eneral movement oun the part of other countries to establish jointly with the United States a common standard that will be accepted byall.\u201d He thinks that ill-considered legislatien on the part of the United States would place gold at a premium, and this would result in the country being drained of the precious metal, leaving the currency practically on a silver basis, and depreciating values accordingly.He adds: \u201cThis feeling of fear is so strong that it has paralyzed all the financial interests of the country by destroying confidence and tending directly to the hoarding of gold, or anything that will bring gold in the markets of the world.What is neaded at present more than anything else is confidence and a removal of the fear that Congress will attempt to control by statute questions that can only be contralled by the natural laws of trade.Should we once place gold at & premium, American sacurities held abroad would come home so fast that the depreciation following would take years to make good, and in the meantime every productive: in- tegest in our country would suffer to an extent that would be faral.\u201d The importance attached t> Mr.Hill's views is hat they reflect a healthy state cf publie opinion in the Western Stites on tbe silver question, showing that th; busiczess interests of tbat section are in agreement with those of the East in op pcsing free coinage of silver.The situation in Washington just now foreshadows no financial legislation of any kind at the present session of Congress.The out'ook isthat if a free coinage bil pesses the Senate, as it probably will, it will either be defeated in the House of Reprerentivea or pigeon-holed by the Committee on Coinage.Democrats who are supporting the Republican silver men are doing so for the express purpose of defeating the election bill.Practically their object has been attained by the vote in the Senate which substituted the financial bill for the election bill.\u2014_\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 FREEDOM [IN THE UNITED STATES.While Mr.Carnegie, the Americanized fectchman, who makes fortunes out of the coerced purchasers of protected America to spend in free trade England, is dilating upon the benefits of protection to the working man, the managers of his business dismiss 500 workmen from his factories because the men, who had been engaged on a three years\u2019 contract at a rate of wage below the market price, asked to be placed on an equal footing with other artizans.While other combinesters are lauding the protection fraud as the main stay of the American workman, the newspapers each day tell of reductions In wages, short time, etc.; and while the press of America is congratulating its readers that the United States is not as other people, and particularly not as that free trade publican John Bull, but considers all men as equal and each as having the fullest rights of citizenship, a report comes showing how the laborers in the phosphate beds of South Carolins are trèated.They receive fifty cents a day nominally, but are compelied out of this to buy their rations from their \u2018employer who makes the price to suit himself.The report says : \u201cThe huts they were compelied to live ia were in a frightful condition.The workmen began to rebel, and a guard of 12 men with rifles and pistols were placed about the camp with instructions to shoot the first man who tried to escape.To the negroes who lived outside the camp di Marco offered a reward of $10 for every man they brought back who at tempted to escape.Dominico Peni, a Venetian! named \u201cJohnnie\u201d and Nicola Valenza managed to escape and took to the woods and attempted to reach a railway station seven miles away.They were within a shor: distance of the place when a traia rolled by, à man named Peppin 3, with half a THE MONTREAL HERA LD, SATURDAY, JANUARY 10,1821, dozen others, jumped from the platform, covering the runaways with their rifles.Peni triel ty escape and ran for a body of water ahead of him.He was fired on ; by Perpino and fell in the water and bas never since been heard of.\u201d The sovereign rights of the American citizen and the preservation of law and order seem to deps nd a good deal on circumstances under a Republican administration in a republic.Under that administration two very distiuct classes have been sstablished\u2014the protected employer and the serfs that he employs.These last are theoretically free Americans, but protection, while it leaves them the name converts them into bogds- men.Perhaps this accounts for the admiration the representative of the present Washington administration expresses for the Government of Russia in its treatment of the Jews and others.0 THE ARGENTINE CRISIS.It is quite clear from the tone of English financial jaurnals that the world has not seen or heard t*e last of the Argentine crisis.\u2018The London Committee of financiers some time azo made certain proposals which, had they been accepted, would have at least paved the way for a restoration of confidence.Not only have these proposals not been accepted, bat the Argentine Government continues to blunder and thus complicates thé finan- cial situation.The first blupder wes to suppress the gold quotations and closs the Boarse.Then followed a fresh issue of paper money to enable the bankrupt Argentinas banks tg meet their engagements Later on the president proposed to levy a tax of two per cent on foreign banks doing business in the Argentine Republic, one of the effects of which will be a general withdrawal of deposits and the calling in of loans to meet withdrawals.This will intensify the crisis.The aitnation is that the Argentine banks are bankrupt.They wera corruptly and Qishone estly managed, exploited by corrupt rings for their own purposes.The situa- tionpis #0 bad that the peo ple, with that madness which sometimes prevails in times of severe fina ncial distress, may easily be goaded ' on to revolution; and if tha occurs the Argentine Republic will disappear as a civilized nation.The proposal to tax the banks, The London Statist says, \u201chas damaged the Government beyond repair; it has increased the political dig- content; it has alarmed the business community, and it has reminded the European public that at any momeat we may have a fresh revolution in Buenos Ayres.\u201d Bo far as financial resources are concerned the Republic has none of its own, it cannot borrow and therefore cannot much longer pay the interest on its debts.The belief in London is that the danger of acknowledged default increases from day to day; and if default does actually occur look out for another crisis in London, and more financial stringency in monetary circles on this\u2018 continent.Reckless borrowing and reckless lending ars producing some very undesirable fruit.Canada, as well as her Provinces and mumicipalities, would do well to make note of this fact, \u2014 WISE TO AWAIT RESULTS.The Koch lymph excitement has now reached a stage where it may be well to pause and ask a few practical questions.| The point is raised, and that with a goad deal of force, that itis the function of science to demonstrate not to theorize and if the lymph is a scientific discovery why is the formula not given to the public?The question is also asked, do tbose wbo use it know its coustituong varte?Ifnot how far ara they justifia in experimenting upon human subjects, and how far 15 it wise for a patient t) allow himself to be inoculated with a sub- Stance the nature of which the operator is unacquainted with?To these questions the obvious reply can be given that at the outset it is necessary ta experiment, that the remedy must for a time be accepted on trust, and that re- eults must be worked out before dogmatic deliverances can be given as to its success or failure.Stl the questions asked are important as well as pertinent.Just now it is worthy of note that the comnittee of French physicians appointed to enquire into the Koch sys - tem of inoculation as a cure for consumption have reported that injurious effects sometimes follow its adoptiun.This, they claim, shows that caution is needed in its use.They add that the remedy bewilders the cleverest physicians and perbaps itiwould be better to await further perfecting of the Koch system before generally adopting it.It is gbarely possible that international jealously may be at the bottom of this deliverance; still there is a good deal of force in the suggestion that further and more definite results should be awaited by the medical profession before agreeing to its adoption as & recognised system of treatment.ee CANADIANS IN BARING BROS.It isunderstood that amongst the larger shareholders of the new limited liability company formed to carry on the business of the Baring Brothers are Sir Donald Smith, Bir George Stephen and Mr, Duncan McIntyre.It was thought when the Argentine muddle brought the house of Barings into difficu'ties, and the Bank of Fagland\u2014to avoid à similar panic to that which followed their refusal to help the great discount hous» of Overend Gurney & Co.\u2014atapped into the breach that the large and lacrative businees of Baring Bros.might still be saved, and a limited liability company was therecpon formed to carry it on.This is the age of limited companies and, many of the largest conceras ia Eng-' land :bave availed themselves of its p.o- visions to aspread their responsibility \u2018shile limitiog it Bapks sush as the, London ard Westminster, the London Joint Stock, Lloyds, and othess who wore accustomed to regard limited liebility concerns with comsidera- ble suspicion have one by one adopted the prigciple.In the case of Barings itis not unsatisfactory to see three eminent Canadians taking such a promizent part in the restoration of à business known ig every part of the civilized world, and it may be that their participation in its affairs will indirectly be of advantage to this country.On all matters concerning financial transactions both in Canada and the Uaited States the directors will have three valuable mentors to guide them.They might search far before finding their equals and we should imagine that, if not at once, before long one or more of the gentlemen we have named will be found on\u2019 the Board of Directors.Canada will derive the advantage of baviog largely interested in the company men who will be in a position to direct the attention of capitalists, and of the company itself, to the many fields of profitable investment which the Dominion affords, and kno +- ing the interest these gentlemen have in the success of the concern in which th - y are such large holders the directors are likely to.give the closest consideration to their representations.-_\u2014 rg AFFAIRS IN MANITOBA.There has been a lull for some time in the periodical attacks made by Opp ai tion journals on the Liberal Government of Manitoba.The probability is, such attacks have to a large extent been discontinued, because the Greenway- Martin Government is administering the financial and general affairs ot the Province with ability and discrmination.Considering the muddle in which the | Government found the affairs of \u2018the | ponsabilities of office, it must be admitted that they have succeeded' re-! markably well in establishing the Provincial credit and bringing order out of the chaos Jm.which they found the public business.True, there has bean some friction over railway matters and the scbeol question, but these difficulties may be expected to right themselves in dae time.In such cages time, patience and forbearands provewery efficacious remedies.There must necessarily be differences upon such questions, but an honorable compromise can no doubt be arrived at without any compromise of essential principle; in such an emergency the Liberal Government of the Prairie Province will no doubt be equal to the sitaation.\u2014 MR.CHARLTON says the N.P.18 à failure It is not nearly so great
