this morning, Sir John Thompson stated, in reply to Sir Richard Cartwright, that the census returns respecting the origins of the people, were expected every day.They were now delayed at the Printing Bureau.The Minister of Justice then moved the second reading of the bill to amend the general inspection act, which provides for the inspection of apples, in order to allow certain members who desired te go home to express their views upon the subject.Dr.Borden voiced the views of the Nova Scotia fruit growers, who wanted the barrels inspected, as well as the apples in the barrels.He urged a system of fines upon the makers and users of fraudulent barrels.Mr.Mills, of Annapolis, supported the views expressed by Dr.Borden.Sir John Thompson promised to consider ÿhe suggestions made, and stated that if it were found impossible to amend the law respecting the barrels at this session, the matter would be considered during the recess.Mr.McMillan (Huron) objected to the nspection of apples unless it was done in the farmer's own locality, and declared that inspection in Montreal would result in heavy loss to the growers of apples.Mr.Campbell, of Kent, also opposed any change in the size of the barrels.Mr.Taylor announced that when the hill went into committee he would move an amendment providing for the compulsory inspection of cheese.There were general complaints throughout eastern Ontario and Quebec that the present system was attended with disadvantages to cheese makers, and he proposed to ask for the appointment of an inspector of cheese, to be stationed at Montreal and examine all cheese before exportation.Such an appointment would be in the interest of both buyers and cheese makers.The bill was read a second time.#IIE ISLAND OUTRAGE.The debate upon the Prince Edward Island clauses of the redistribution bill was then resumed by Mr.Cockburn, who, after condemning the Government for not rectifying the abuse in representation in the Maritime Province, such as involved in the retention of Westmoreland with a population of 42,000 and of Restigouche with 7,000, declared that if the people of Prince Edward Island had the same regard for their county lines as the people of New Brunswick, they would say that the representation of the island should not be interfered with.Tho Government's proposal disemhowelled the island, and tore it into shreds and patches, and blotted county lines out of existence.In view of the Government\u2019s large majority he appealed to them to do justice to the island and in answer to iu recjuest from some one to pray for the House, said that if it were to pass the proposals of the Government it would be past praying for.Mr.Davies thanked Mr.Cockburn for his sympathy, and told him very plainly that the principle of county lines had always been respected in the island, and that all the institutions of the island were based upon couuty interests.REFUSED TO GIVE IN, Sir John Thompson refused to assent to the excited feelings of the gentlemen who saw in the redistribution an evil design, and stated that although he desired to be generous,he could not accept Mr.Davies\u2019 amendment, which would result in the gerrymander of Kings County, which was now represented by Conservatives.The Government had not gone about the country with a tape measure to ascertain the size of every constituency, and if there were irregularities in the Maritime Provinces it was because they had not been compelled to interfere with counties there.He would not agree to à proposition which would deprive a Conservative of a seat.Mr.Mills maae a strong speech in denunciation of the island gerrymander and the subject was still under discussion when the House rose at one o\u2019clock.The discussion upon the Prince Edward Island gerrymander was continued in the afternoon, the Liberals making a strong fight in defence of their colleagues from the Island province.Mr.Davin declared that the readjustment was fair, symmetrical and had no reference to the political complexion of the Island.Mr.Patterson, of Brant, retorted that if such an \u201cindependent\u201d member as Mr.Davin could not be influenced by any argument, even if the Government should alter their views in this respect, as they had done in Quebec, they would find in him a stout opponent.He protested against the roposals as a blow at Mr.Davies, whose rilliant talents had secured him political lustre and the admiration of friends and foes alike.It was, therefore, natural that his friends should feel very strongly upon this attempt to cause his political death.DR.WELDOX\u2019S INDEPENDEKCE.Mr.Yeo, one of the sturdy Liberal band from the Island, vigorously o posed the proposal, and shortly afterwards Dr.Weldon showed his independence by announcing that he would vote against the Government and in favor of Mr.Davies\u2019 amendment.Just before dinner, Mr.Davies\u2019 amendment was rejected by 71 to 49, Messrs.Weldon, Cock- burn, Denison and Maclean (East York) voting with the Liberals.The clause respecting King\u2019s county was carried.After recess, Mr.Davies\u2019 amendment to the section respecting Kast Queens was rejected by 59 to 39 and after a little further discussion\u201d all the clauses respecting P.E.Island were adopted._ Sir John Thompson then moved the adoption of the clause of which he had given notice, to add the Walpole and other sands in the St.Clair river to the riding of Both- well.Mr.Mills stated that the islands were inhabited by unenfranchised Indians, and while he had no objection to the proposition he would later call attention to the demoral- lzing effect such a clause had upon the Indians.The clause was carried.THE ST.JOHN REDUCTION.The clause reducing the membership of St.John city and county to one member Was carried after a protest by Mr.Mills against the system which gave the residents of the city two votes and those of the county only one, but Mr.Hazen pointed out that the custom had existed for one hundred years, The committee then rose and reported progress upon the understanding that the ill would be reported on Monday next, after being reprinted.The Government Would thushave an opportunity to consider ener amendments which had been pro- À bill to make further provision for land Rrants to members of the militin force in the Northwest and a bill to amend the Winding up act were introduced from the Senate and read à first time.Mr.Davies\u2019 amendment to the Dominion lands act, giving settlers the right to both homestead and pre-emption entries on favorable conditions, was adopted, and the bill was amended and given its third reading.NO MORE BLOOD MONEY.The House then went into concurrence.Mr.Chapleau made the formal announcement respecting the partial abolition of the system by which customs officers shared in the proceeds of seizures.On the resolution for the Sault Ste.Marie canal, Sir Richard Cartwright asked if the Government had any information as to the threat of the American Government to close the American canal to Canadian traffic.Sir John Thompson replied that they had not heard anything of the matter except what they had read in the newspapers in which the text of the President\u2019s message had appeared.As the House knew negotiations upon the subject had been oing on between the two (Governments for some time past.This Government had sent a despatch to Washington which must have reached there just about the time when the President transmitted his message to the Senate.He expressed the ho that a satisfactory settlement would soon Pe arrived at, and promised to lay the papers in reference to the recent negotiations at an eatly day.The House adjourned at 11.35 p.m after the best day's work of the session.It is now understood that prorogation will likely take place ou the 7th or 8th July.POACHING IN HUDSON BAY.Mr.Charlton gives notice that he will ask the Government whether they have given consideration to the aragraph in the report of Lieut.-Governor Schultz in which he condemns the poaching by American whalers in Hudson Bay, and whether it is the intention to refer this statement to the Behring Sea arbitrators or take other steps to prevent the alleged poaching and smuggling by American vessels in Canadian waters, THE PROPOSED RETALIATION.Canada may have to pay for Using the St.Mary's Falls Canal, WASHINGTON, June 23.\u2014Senator Davis to-day introduced a resolution which was referred to the Finance Committee, proposing retaliation upon Canada for the discrimination practised against American vessels passing through the Canadian canals.The resolution provides that after August 1 next whenever and so often as the presi- deut shall be satisfied that the passage through any canal or lock connected with the navigation of the St.Lawrence River, the great lakes or the water way counccting the same of, any vessels of the United States or of cargues or passengers in transit to any United States port, is prohibited or is made difficult by the imposition of tolls or otherwise, he shall have the power, and it shall be his duty, to suspend by proclamation for such time and to such extent (including absolute prohibition) as he shall deem just, the right of free passage through [the St.Mary\u2019s Falls Canal, so far as it relates to vessels owned by the subjects of the government so discriminating against the citizens, ports or vessels of the United States.RAVACHOL FOUND GUILTY.Convicted of Murder of Brunel, the Hermit of Chamble\u2014Sentenced to Die.Paris, June 23.\u2014The trial of Ravachol, the Anarchist, for the murder of the hermit Brunel, has resulted in his conviction.He was at once sentenced to death.Beala and Mariette Sonbere, accused of being Ravachol\u2019s accomplices, were acquitted.The jury was only out fifteen minutes.Ravachol had admitted the killing, but gave as his reason for so doing that, owing to the badly organized social system, it was necessary to kill in order to live.Several other murders are also laid at Ravachol\u2019s door.He is accused of having killed two women at St.Etienne by braining them with an ax.Robbery appeared to the incentive to the crime.Being suspected, he disappeared from St.Etienne and located at St.Denis under the name of Leger.His identity was never discovered.The Varizelle murders, the slaying of M.Rivdier, a dealers in old curiosities, and his servant, Frangois Faure, are popularly believed to have been Ravachols work.Faure was found dying, his head split open with an ax, at the door of a wine seller.The latter recognized the man and hurried to his employer's home.Rivdier was found dead, having been assaulted with the same weapon as that used on his servant.Robbery had been attempted.STOLE TREASURY MONEY.Express Clerk Ryan Clears Out With $50,000 Crisp U.S.Bank Notes.\u2018WASHINGTON, June 23.\u2014Edwin J.Ryan, a clerk of the United States Express company, left this city Tuesday night, taking with him three packages of 0 S.bank notes, amounting to about $50,000.The U.S.Expresscompany handles all shipments of treasury cash and the packages taken were made up at the department and addressed to out of town banks, Hence the theft was not discovered until yesterday, when the expected packages failed to arrive at their destination.The express company has sent out an alarm to all points in the United States, but has failed to find a clue to the whereabouts of Ryan, who is supposed to have left the city alone.The Poet\u2019s Soliloquy.\u201cKiss\u201d rhymes to

VICE-PRESIDENCY.He Was Chosen on the Second Ballot Yesterday Afternoon, OPINIONS OF THEIR CHOICE.After Several Uncomfortable Days In the Chicago Wigwam the National Demo- eratic Convention of 1892 Concluded Its Labors Yesterday\u2014Rain Poured Through the Roof, Making Politicians Weary, CHICAGO, June 23.\u2014The scene in the great Democratic wigwam this morning, when the convention reached a ballot and very soon declared its choice to be Grover Cleveland, was one not soon to be forgotten.Daylight streamed in upon the mass of wearied but determined politicians, several attempts to secure an adjournment having been repelled.Mr.Cleveland was nominated on the first ballot, the following being the vote by states : State, Alabama ., Arkansas.California.Colorado.Connecticu Delaware Florida .Georgia.1linols.Idaho.Cleveland Boies Hill A 14 0 Boancososoneos Kentucky SES Louisiana.Maine.- SSSOOCOCOOSOSODONOHRAOSONOHOOORASAOSSOHOSHNDO Michigan.Minnesota.Mississippi Missouri.Nevada.New

when the delegates and spectators entered the wigwam this afternoon.The conditions were not pleasant.All the speculation on the floor and in the benches was about the length of time in which: the convention: could com: plete its work and enable the visitors to leave the city.Another heavy rainstorm in the morning added to the general desire to get away.Every day since the majority of the attendants upon the convention from abroad have been in the city it has rained, sometimes three or four different times a day, and the eagerness of the visitors to get into dry atmosphere surroundings is almost pathetic in its intensity, The first indication of organized life in the wigwam was at 1.30, when the Democratic Club of Indianapolis marched into the hall with two banners.The few persons in the building received them with cheers, They took seats directly in the rear of the delegates\u2019 space, and prepared for the strain of yelling which they expected to o should the nomination of Gray for vice-president be made.The delegates were slow in gathering, and at 2 o'clock, the hour to which the convention adjourned, not over 100 of them were in their seats, and none of the distinguished guests of the occasion had appeared, The bad weather has had a depressing effect upon many of the visitors, and several prominent members of the convention are sick, Senator Voorhees has been obliged] to go home to Terre Haute.THE OPENING SCENES, The New York delegation came in very quietly at 2.15.They waved no banners and the delegates made no sound of welcome or applause.At 2.20 Bourke Cochran mounted the platform to speak to Chairman Wilson, and the band regardless of the propri eties played \u2018Hail to the Chief.\u201d At 1.30 the sleepy convention was awakened by an unexpected demonstration.Into the hall marched a band playing.\u201cAuld Lang Syne.\u201d Behind it came the young.men\u2019s Gray club and the Hendrick\u2019s club, of Indianapolis.The band shifted to \u201cDixie\u201d and from that to \u201cYankee Doodle\u201d while the Gray young men shouted, \u201cGray, Gray, Isaac P.Gray\u201d in unison.The Gray shouters marched through the side aisles and then out of the hall, and the band played \u2018*Annie Laurie\u201d as they disappeared.few minutes later Chairman Wilson pounded the table with his gavel and called the convention to order.Most of the delegates were in their seats and the galleries were quite well filled.The chairman introduced the Rev.Mr.Green,of Cedar Rapids, lowa, who delivered the invocation, After the prayer, the chairman announced that the next order of business was thenaming of candidates for the nomination for vice- president.MAY SHUT OUT THE PUBLIC.Governor Porter, of Tennessee, offered a resolution to limit nominating speeches to five minutes, and seconding speeches to two minutes each.The resolution was greeted with applause and adopted.The call of States was then begun.Alabama asked to be passed.Arkansas nominated Gray, of Indiana, without comment.The name was greeted with applause, \u2018Colorado gave her place to Indiana, and Lamb took the platform to nominate Gray.He made an enthusiastic speech in favor of his candidate, which was well received, and as he concluded the inevitable rain began to fall without and to drop within the wigwam.HON.A.E.STEVENSON FOR VICE-PRESIDENT Colorado gave way to Illinois and Mr.Worthington took the platform to nominate the Hon.A.E.Stevenson.He paused fora passing train and then began a competition with the rain that beat on the roof.\u201d He said ;\u2014Illinois has presented no presidential candidate to this convention.It has within its borders more than one favorite son whom it would have delighted to honor who are worthy of all the political honors that could be conferred upon them.But here in this great the Democracy catching the vibration of the ground that came from the south to the east and the west put aside its favorite son and for the time parted with its, State pride, echoing back to Texas Connecticut and California the name of Grover Cleveland.(Applause.) But for the vice-presidency, for the second highest place in the Government, it has a candidate go fully equipped hy nature and education tliat it feels it would be a political fault to fail to urge his name for nomination before You.In conclusion he presented a candidate who does not have to give certificate from a labor organization to prove he is a friend of labor\u2014Hon.À.A.Stevenson, of Illinois.A SPOKESMAN FOR MR.GRAY, .Hon.R.J.Vance, of Connecticut, rose in his place to second the nomination of on.Isaac P.Gray.He spoke briefly, and What he said could hardly be distingnished because of the noise caused by the rainfall, Idaho also seconded the nomination of Gray.When Iowa was called, the chairman of the delegation said: \u201cIowa has no candidate to present.\u201d There were cries for Boies all over the hall, and the chairman again taking the floor,said : It is the personal wish of Gov.Boies, it is the unanimous wish of this delegation, it is the wish of the Democrats of Towa, that Gov.Boies be not nominated as a candidate for the Vice-presi- dency in this Convention.\u201d When Kansas was reached, the chairman of the delegation said that Kansas had no candidateand presented A.C.Scott, of the delegation,to second a nomination.Mr.Scott said that some of the delegation had preferences,and on behalf of a majority which believed that the doubtful state of Indiana should be madea fighting ground, he desired to second the nomination of Isaac P.Gray.TOOK DEMOCRACY LIKE THEIR WHISKY.When Kentucky was called Hon.J.S.Rhae took the platform.He seconded the nomination of Mr.Stevenson.Kentucky took her democracy like her whisky- straight.He supported Illinois\u2019 candidate because he was a man who believed that to the victor belonged the spoils.(Great applause.) 1f he were placed in position mugwumps and Republicans would get no quarter at his hands.The roll call proceeded without interruption until Michigan was reached, when Don M.Dickinson announced that Michigan would present a candidate through Hon.E.F.Uhl.Mr.Uhl took the platforin and nominated Chief Justice Morse.After Mr.Uhl's speech the roll call proceeded quietly until New York was reached.When Gov.Flower arose there were cries of \u201cplatform\u201d and applause which drowned r.Flower's announcement \u2018\u2018that New York has no candidate to present.\u201d Mr.Flower sat down and the applause stopped.L.L.Cunningham, of Tennessee, seconded the nomination of Gray.Ex-Governor Tyrockmorton, of Texas, seconded the nomination of Stevenson.Hon.John Goade, of Virginia, seconded the nomination of Gray.THE RAIN TOO MUCH FOR HIM.When Wisconsin was called, there were criesof \u201cVilas.\u201d Thechairmanannounced that Wisconsin would present a candidate through Gen.E.8, Bragg.Taking the latform Gen.Bragg nominated Hon.John Eritehell.The rain by this time was pouring down so heavily that its noise almost drowned Mr.Bragg\u2019s voice.The confusion Was too great for him to proceed.The band began to play ¢ Dixie\u201d while the convention exercised its lungs in vigorous cheering.Some of the delegates shouted \u201ccall the roll,\u201d but the clerk was not ambitious to enter into competition with the roll of thunder that was sweeping through the hall, .and the gonvention remained in a state of inactivity.The band struck up the Ta-ra-ra- boom-de-ay song for a diversion.A Missouri delegate came over to the press seats to enquire the name of the air.He was probably the only man in the convention hall who did not recognize it.The sound of the rain and the thunder continued, and the water dripped in on the delegates steadily.Finally Gen.Bragg secured an opportunity from the thunder and presented the name of Wisconsin\u2019s candidate, but his voice could not be heard twenty feet away.New Mexico seconded the nomination of Gray, and Oklahoma the name of Stevenson.When the roll call was completed and Alabama, which had been passed, was called again, Mr.Vanderbilt, of Alabama, briefly seconded the nomination of Judge Morse, of Michigan, on the strength of nis soldier record.J.H.King, of Alabama.also seconded the nomination of Judge Morse.THE FIRST BALLOT.The chairman ordered the roll to be called upon the four candidates.Alabama led off without a skip for Morse ; Arkansas came in with 16 for Gray; California split squarely in the middle, 9 each for Gray and Stevenson; Illinois\u2019 48 were plumped into the Stevenson basket, but owa first stirred the crowd.\u201cWe cast our solid vote for Henry Watterson,\u201d said the chairman, and there were cheers.The biggest breeze of the roll-call swept the convention when Governor Flower stood on his feet and stated that New York was solid for Stevenson\u201472 votes.The breeze grew to a gale of applause.It subsided only to rise again when North Carolina stepped into the Stevenson column.When Ohio shook out 38 of her 46 votes for Stevenson the excitement grew, and when the keystone State \u2014dropped 64 votes into the hat of Mr.Gray the counter current of cheering caused a cloudburst of confusion over the convention floor.Wisconsin cast her 23 votes for John L\u2014\u201c\u2018Make it Sullivan,\u201d shouted a man, and and the convention roared with laughter.When the noise subsided Wisconsin gave her vote to, John L.Mitchell.When the vote was finished the figures showed fo, Stevenson 402, and Gray 243.No choice.MR.STEVENSON NOMINATED.Then began the changes.Iowa first came into the Stevenson camp and Montana next, followed by Nebraska.Ohio got into line amid cheers.Georgia was close behind and Kentucky came next.The flock of the States outside the Stevenson coops came to cover with a rush of wings and flatter of feathers.It became only a question of time and when the two-thirds vote for Stevenson had been obtained the nomination was announced.The usual resolution of thanks to officers were passed and the National committee notifications were made.Gen.P.Collins, of Massachusetts, then took the platform and moved that the Democratic National committee should at the next National convention provide accommodation for the delegates, alternates, the press, the National committee, and for no others.This was demanded in view of the gallery interruptions that are possible, \u2018and have been demonstrative.The resolution was before the House when one of the electric lamps fell among the delegates, and a stampede was imminent for a time.No harm was done, The Collins\u2019 resolution, after the confusion subsided, was referred to the Executive comunittee of the new national committee with affirmed recommendation.At 5.20 p.m.the convention adjourned sine die.CONGRATULATIONS FLOWING IN.Buzzarp\u2019s Bay, Mass., June 23.\u2014Early this morning the wire in Mr.Cleveland's house was at work pouring in congratulations to Mr.Cleveland from all parts of the country.Before the tired out telegraph operator resumed his post at the private city of Chicago, in the great commonwealth of Illinois, in the centre of the Republic, | & ire in Gray Galles over 40 messages had been received at the Buzzard\u2019s Bay telegraph office.About 10 o\u2019clock the telegrams began to come pretty lively.They were from people in all positions in official stations as well as civil life.A reporter called at the Cleveland house this morning.Mr.Cleveland, Mrs.Cleveland, Governor Russell and Mr.J oseph Jefferson were at breakfast.Mr.Cleveland met the representative, to whom he said in reply to a question as to whether he had any further message to make public: \u201cI have nothing to say beyond what I have already given out.The convention has not yet finished its labors, and until it has, it seems to me that anything from me would be out of place and open to misconstruction.\u201d The telegrams are in the main identical in language.Among others are despatches from ex-ttovernor Greene, of New J ersey; Gov.Patterson, of Pennsylvania; Pinckney White, of Maryland; one or two from members of the Tammany organization of New York, but largely the telegrams have been from Democratic friends.Mr.Cleveland was asked this afternoon if he had received any congratulation from Hill or the Tammany organization as a whole and he smiled as he answered in the negative.CALLS THEM BACK NUMBERS.New York, June 23.\u2014The Tribune will say editorially to-morrow: ¢\u201cThe Democratic party has chosen its ticket and could not possibly have pleased the Republicans better than by the nominations it has made.Its candidates smell of defeat.Mr.Cleveland was beaten at the last presidential election.Mr.Stevenson, after two terms in Congress, was defeated by the people in 1880.From his political grave President Cleveland resurrected him to fill the post of assistant postmaster general.It is a ticket of two back numbers.Mr.Cleveland was sent to private life four years ago and Mr.Stevenson 12 years ago, so that the ticket might properly be translated \u201cyesterday\u201d and \u2018 day before yesterday.\u201d THE SENATE QUITE TRANQUIL.WASHINGTON, June 23.\u2014There was no appreciable excitement in the Senate this morning over the action of the Chicago convention.Mr.Hill was not present.HOW MR.HILL RECEIVED THE NEWS, WASHINGTON, June 23.\u2014The result of the convention was anticipated here.Senator Hill, before 10 o'clock, was scen in his sit- ting-room at the Arlington.He had been up until nearly 5 o'clock, but notwithstanding his lack of sleep, appeared to be fresh, calm and collected.He received the Associated press reporter cordially, and appeared to be cheerful and relieved from the strain which had been imposed wpon him for so many months, although he made no pretence of unnatural buoyancy.In reference to questions as to his opinion as to the action of the convention and as to his future course, he said decidedly that he must politely but firmly decline to be interviewed on the subject.PRESIDENT HARRISON EXPECTED IT, It was not until 7.30 this morning that President Harrison knew for a certainty that ex-President Cleveland had again been chosen as his competitor in the race for the next presidential term.He had anticipated Mr.Cleveland's selection, and would have been surprised at a different result.The telegraphic arrangements het ween the White House and the Democratic Convention hall, Chicago, were the same as those withthe Republican convention, but the nomination of Cleveland from the first seemed to be a foregone conclusion, and little interest was taken in the proceedings.A effort was made by a representative of the Associated press to induce the President to say what he thought of the nomination, but he courteously declined to say anything for publication.CLEVELAND'S GREAT INFLUENCE, Boston, June 23\u2014This morning's Herald editorially says that Cleveland's was an unanimous election, a people\u2019s nomination.He presents character, dignity, strength, and principle.No man has been more fearless than he in the avowal of conviction or more steadfast in maintaining his views upon public questions.His course on the currency has been courageous, effective, and useful.His name is a tower of strength against danger to business interests by wrong legislation.He is identified with the tarifl reform movement.THE NOMINEE'S MESSAGE.BuzzARD\u2019s Bay, Mass., June 23.\u2014At 4.30 this morning Mr.Cleveland transmitted the following statement to the press : \u2018\u201c I should certainly be chargeable with dense insensibility if I were not profoundly touched hy this new proof of the confidence and trust of the great party to which I belong, and whose mandates claim my loyal obedience.I am confident that our fellow-countrymen are ready to receive with approval the principles of true democracy, and I cannot rid myself of the belief that to win success it is only necessary to persistently and honestly

Says the Necessity for Direct Taxation Should be Not Blamed Altogether to the Mercier Regime, [Special to The Horald.} QUEBEC, June 23.\u2014In the Legislative council this afternoon the members of the opposition displayed remarkable ability and\u2019 tact in the discussion of the Government measures of taxation as connected with the supply bill.Ou motion by Mr.DeBoucherville for the second reading of the measure, Mr.Starnes rose and made one of the most practical speeches heard in the Legislature during the present session.He held that the council, in spite of the opinion expressed by Mr.DeBoucherville when he had stopped the supplies under the Joly administration, had no right to amend measures of this nas ture, nor was it proper for the council, although it might possess the power, to stop the\u2019 supplies voted to her Majesty by the popular branch of the Legislature.The opposition therefore had no intention of im peding public service, but claimed and would exercise the right of criticising freely whatever features might appear objections able as introduced.For his part, he would state that the Government appeared to have greatly over-estimated their requirements and taken very strange means of raising funds to meet the difference between assets and liabilities.After quoting figures in support of the view thas additional taxation might have been avoided he proceeded to review the different mease ures of taxation.The tax on successions be entirely approved of.It was a JUST AND PROPER TAX, and numerous instances could be cited where large sums could be paid to the state with out private individuals suffering any loss, and he knew of one person at least whose estate amounted to $300,000, and who intended to leave the whole of it to religious institutions, who could pay the tax without feeling it.As for the other measures they were class taxation, which was always blameable.It was greatly to e regretted that retailers and small manufacturers were to suffer to such a very disastrous extent, If business must be taxed then the banks were best able to pay.The treasurer of the province had es« timated the produce of these taxation measures at $875.000.In his opinion they would bring at least a million\u2014more consequently than the Government, according to their own calculation, required to meet the deficit.He thought therefore that those taxation measures were to be regretted, because they were unnecessary and dangerous for the welfare of the country.Mr.Archambault, holding the same views in the main as Mr.Starnes, also made an able specch.He said the Legislative Assembly, the direct representatives of the people, having voted the measures, the duty of the members of the upper House was not to impede but to help the Government, although their methods and statements might be OPEN TO CRITICISM.He was not a financier and would avoid going into figures, but he could not let this occasion pass without criticising certain statements made by the Conservatives in this house and elsewhere.It had been said that the Mercier administration was wholly and solely responsible for the necessity of direct taxation, that he alone had made the expenditure and accumulated the debt.Such a statement was so utterly false that it would be sufficient to place it in another light to refute it.What was the indebtedness of the Province when Mr.Mercier came to wer?The funded debt amounted $18,.,000, and the floating debt to $6,000,000 at least.Suppose this debt of $24,000,000 were wiped away, suppose the million of money necessary to pay interest thereon could be expended for purposes of adminis tration, then no taxation would be necessary, and the revenue of $3,400.000 would be sufficient for all purposes.The thing is so clear that it scarcely needs demonstration.It was the DeBoucherville Government that had coms menced the system of loans.The Chapleau, Mousseau and Mercier Governments had continued it.Had there been wrong in doing this?perhaps, but not wholly wrong; there was at least something to show for the money.Railways, iron bridges, highways and roads had been built, other public works had been completed and perhaps after all it was better that these works were done, although the country was now asked to bear their share of the cost.Even the present Government admitted that the course of these great public works could not be stopped short without serious damage to the province.The conclusion of this wag that both parties MUST BEAR THE BLAME which belonged to both in degrees proportionate to the amounts they had expended, He hoped this present tax would not weigh too heavily on the community, The state could not be saved by the ruin of individuals.One thing was quite certain, the province was not on the verge of bank- ruptey and a little care would set all right.Ir.D.A.Ross then took the floor.He said although the Conservatives had been in power until 1878, they considered that the Government of the province could not be carried on without direct taxation.The attempt to levy a tax was followed by their downfall and the new administration, and even the Liberal-Conservative governments who followed, managed for many years to dispense with direct taxatino.If Mr.Mercier increased expenses he also increased the means of meeting them, But the present Government are determined to tax the people of this province.It ig certainly a great evil, but out of evil good frequently arises.The advantage which will result from taxation is, that when a man is taxed, when his family suffer from the impost, he will be found to take a greater interest in public men and in public affairs.No longer will votes be cast from ignorance or prejudice, but for wise amd economic administration, Mr.Prevost and Dr.Marcil spoke in the same strain.In the evening Mr.Chapais replied, likening the transfers of property to the old.time lods and ventes of the seignorial tenure, revived for the benefit of the Government.The bill was then carried.The Conncil then killed Mr.Auge\u2019s early closing hill, on the ground that it was a private bill and should be referred to committee, but that this could not be done at such a late stage of the session, The Council then adjourned.FORMALITIES IN THE HOUSE.The sittings of the House to-day we almost entirely of a formal

Correspondence Passes \u201c Betwcen the Attorney-General of Ontario and his Subordinate.Mr.Elgin Myers, Q.C., county Crown attorney of Dufferin, has written several open letters lately favoring the union of Canada with the United States.These have been from time to time criticised in the press.Sir Oliver Mowat considered the advocacy of such views inconsistent with Mr.Myer\u2019s position as Crown attorney aud clerk of the peace, and caused him.to be remonstrated with, \u2018The remonstrance produced no change in Mr.Myers\u2019 views or course of action, and after the exchange of two or three letters, as printed below, Mr.Myers was requested to send in his resignation.This he refused to do and here the correspondence ends.It is understood, however, that Mr.Myers will be dismissed from the positions which he at present holds under the Crown, and to which he was appointed by Sir Oliver Mowat.The correspondence is as follows :\u2014 Toroxro, May 9, 1892.SIr,\u2014 With reference to two recent paper which you have published advocating the transfer of Canada by its people to a foreign nation the Attorney-General has recently had his attention called to these papers, and desires me to say that whatever may be the strength or weakness of the reasons for or against such a transfer, he considers the public advocacy of the transfer to be inconsistent with the position of an officer who in his county has charge of the administration of justice.The impropriety is emphasized by the circumstance of the first of the two papers being a criticism of a paper on the subject by the Attorney-General himself, the head of the department to which your office belongs, and the head of the Government.He does not contemplate any action in the matter, but wishes you to be aware of his opinion, our obedient servant, 8.I.BasTtEDO.Elgin Myers, Esq., Orangeville, Ont.ORANGEVILLE, May 11.8.T.Bastedo, Esq., care Hon.Attorney.General, Toronto, Ont.: S1r,\u2014Replying to yours of the 9th inst., ou are certainly mistaken in supposing that T have, in any paper, advocated the transfer of Canada to a foreign land.This was accomplished in 1763, when one foreign land transferred her to another, to which she still belongs; and I am not so enamored of the result that I desire a repetition of the \u201c act What I did advocate was the reunion of our Canadian colony with the English speaking nation to the south on terms equally honorable and fair to both.In doing so I had not theslightest idea that I was transgressing the rules that govern an officer in the public service.Even though 1 had not been awaré of the position at one time taken by him who is now the Prime Minister of Canada, and had not observed such high officials as Sir Charles Tupper, Mr, John Crerar and the police magistrate of Toronto engaged in the propaganda of their views both on the platform and in the press, I would not have supposed that the mere fact of a man being engaged in the public service would have deprived him of the right and highest duty of citizenship, namely, that of advocating such measures as he deems most conducive to the welfare of his native land.Nor did it occur to me that the fact of my being entrusted with the administration of justice constituted n reason why 1 should refrain from advocating what deemed to be the interests of the public whom I served and who paid me for the service, The fact that one of my letters was in reply to one of the Attorney-General\u2019s was regretted by no one more than myself.I had waited for some considerable time for some one more prominent and more worthy of the steel of the Attorney-General to reply to it, but no one assuming to do so it was in pursuance of à determination I had formed, and which my strong feeling on the subject will com- el me to continue in at whatever sacri- ce, to strike a blow whenever I can for a cause that I feel assured is the only one that will secure us, as a country, a position among the nations of the world.Nor in writing my first paper did it occur to me that I was guilty of any impropriety by reason of the fact that the person was replying to happened to be the head of the department to which my office belongs.Had the subject of his communication referred to that department, or to the conduct or administration of the Government, I might have arrived at an opposite conclusion; but a8 the Attorney-General was not speaking ex-cathedra, but on a neutral subject, affecting the common citizenship of every Canadian, and being one of those citizens and as deeply affected as any one, I was far from considering myself guilty of anything unbecoming a public officer of this country in replying to his letter.There was a tima when my opinion as a Reformer, in common with \u2018that of every other Liberal, would have been listened to with respect by the Attorney-General, if not with approval, if tendered, as it always was, with a proper motive.Now evidently the situation has changed, and at the risk of being deemed guilty of impertinence, or at least of impropriety, but with motives as loyal as ever towards a good Government and & leader whom I have always admired and supported, I say that 1 cannot understand why the Attorney-General should place himself in a position of antagonism to those he accuses of trying to transfer their countgy to another.They have no quarrel with the Ontario Government nor with its first Minister.The most of them are his ardent admirers.Their ranks will naturally be recruited from the Liberals so long, and only so long, as the Tory barnacles remain fastened to the Dominion ship of state.I may add that I have it from a gentleman who has been a life-long Reformer, and whose character and position entitle him to command Mr.Mowat\u2019s respect, that on a visit to Woodstock the other day he learned that the feelings among the Reformers in that vicinity was one of intense indignation at the coercion Mr.Mowat was merely reported to have exercised against those who regard themselves as the only Canadians who are truly loyalto their country and their own continent.One of his informants was one of Woodatock\u2019s most prominent and influential citizens, who also commands Mr.Mowat\u2019s confidence and highest respect, and who was equally pronounced in his indignation.For myvell, I am, and always have been, a Reformer, and have the interest of the Mowat Government at heart as much as any man in Ontario.The question of Continental union is one which does not concern Provincial affairs, and no one would regret more than I do to see the whole body of Continental unionists forced against their will into a position \u2018of opposition and an- lagoniam to the Ontario Government.If they are it will not be their fault.As for myself, as the personal recipient of favors from that Government and from its leaders, it causes me distress more than I care to express to run counter to the desires of the Attorney-General, even on a matter which 1 deem of private concern, but at the risk of being misconstrued and misunderstood, I say that it is a matter of principle with me, and however poor my ability and small my influence, both will, during the rest of my life, be exerted to give my native country a position where it will command respect and become the home of independent millions, I am yours sincerely, (Signed), LLGIN MYERS.Toronto, 20th May, 1892.DEAR S1B\u20141I submitted your letter to the Attorney- General, He regrets that you see no objection to active endeavors to induce the Canadian people to withdraw their allegiance to Her Piajosty.and to transfer Canada to a foreign nation, being made by an officer of the Crown, holding a responsible position in connection with the administration of justice, and who hastaken the oath of allegiance to Her Majesty in order to obtain the office which he holds.Yours truly, (Signed) S.T.BAsTEDo.Elgin Myers, Esq., Q.C., Orangeville, Ont.ORANGEVILLE, May 28, 1892 S.T.Bastedo, Esq., Toronto, Ont.: My DEAR SIR,\u2014Referring to yours of the 20th inst., although I am not one who wishes to intrude my reasons where they are not requested, yet it seems to me that simple justice to myself requires an explanation of my views, There is an intimation in your letter that I took an oath of allegiance to Her Majest in order to obtain the office which I hold, and that in advocating the reunion of this colony with the English-speaking nation of this contineut, which is composed of our own kinsmen, I am pursuing a course inconsistent with my oath, and that I should resign my position if I purpose advocating my views.or 1 cannot be expected to renounce them; for opinions are not like old garments, to be cast off and put on at will.Nur am 1 writing under the delusion that I can convince Sir Oliver Mowat of the correctness of my views, but simply to show that I am not, consciously at all events, occupying an inconsistent position or pursuing a dishonorable course, The views I take are shortly these\u2014that in taking the oath of allegiance to Her Majesty I was taking the oath to her simply as the embodiment, or at least the representative of the Canadian people.In a country where a Republican form of Government prevails the oath is one of allegiance to the people.In this country à crowned head, who by the way does not rule, but simply reigns, is interposed, and no one can serve his country, which means his own people, in a public capacity without first taking an oath of allegiance in which the name of the Queen is mentioned as representative of the people merely.That this must, in my view, be true is clear from the fact that if the present Governments of Ontario or the Dominion were to seriously proclaim and maintain by their acts that they would conduct public affairs in the interest of Her Majesty and against those of the Canadian people when they conflicted, their tenure of office would be short.In this sense, it seems to me, the statesmen of England from the time of the Stuarts downwards have construed the oath of alle- iance, Otherwise Cromwell, William the hird and multitudes of lesser men who are now regarded, especially by men calling themselves Liberals, as true patriots, were nothing but rebels.Nor can the wrong consist in publicly advocating these views.If there is anything treasonable or disloyal it consists in entertaining the viewsIdo,and not in propagating them.If this be not so, the distinction between a loyal and disloyal man is one of courage and cowardice merely.I take it that the Christian dispensation under which we live, ushered in a new doctrine which is one of its most distinguished characteristics as compared with the old, viz, that all sin or wrong depended on the condition of the heart and mind, and did not consist solely in the expression.of the thoughts or in acts.\u201cIf thou look upon a woman to lust after her thou has committed adultery with her already in thine heart,\u201d and kindred passages amply illustrate this.This being the case, where would the doctrine that I should resign my office lead to?For itis by the reduction ad absurdum that the fallacy of theargument is frequently detected.\u2018 If a judge of the Supreme Court were to hold unionist views, whether he publicly propagates them or not, he is disloyal, and should resign.This would also apply to all the minor office-holders in the land, and the result would be that the public offices of our country would be helled by men whom we regard as not laboring in the interest of their own country but in the interest of a connection with Innperial Europe.I am quite prepared to admit that a consideration of the consequence should not weight with anyone in the decision to do what is right, I am prepared to carry the doctrine flat justitia ruat ccelum to its extreme limit in this case, and if I considered myself in advocating unionist views as violating my oath of allegiance I would resign my office at once, but I simply mention the logical consequences that would ensue from an enforcement of that principle ; and the serious consequences of such a step, if carried to their logical result, naturally make one carefully consider the ground before taking it.Nor do those whose views are similar to my own on the subject cf our country\u2019s future advocate anything injurious to Her Majesty.In fact, they are firmly convinced that a severanc3 of the connection with the Empire would not only be of immense benefit to Canadians, but also to the Empire; but be that as it may, we also ndvocate the -change of relations by appeals to the reason of the people, and by other constitutional means, a right which surely belongs to every British subject, from the highest official to the lowest private citizen in the land.Holding the views, therefore, that I do, that the position I now take on the subject of our country\u2019s welfare is not inconsistent with my oath of allegiance, I am forced into & position, which I regret, of opposition to the views of one who has worthily gained the respect and admiration of the whole Canadian people, and who has also recently received a recognition at the hands of Her Majesty.Iam satisfied that he is the last one who would desire any person to abandon views honestly : entertained, even to gratify one whom he respects so much.Trusting that I may still be of much political service to the Attorney-General, 1 remain, : Yours truly, (Signed,) ELaix Myers.Toronto, 16th June, 1892.Sir,\u2014I am instructed to inform you that it is deemed impossible for the Government to overlook your continued public advocacy of the transfer of Canada and of the alle: giance of Canadians to the United States, you being an officer of the Crown, and holding the important position of Crown Attorney and clerk of the peace in your county.The Attorney-General had hoped that after you had been made aware of the views communicated to you through his private secretary you would have respected the same while holding these offices.As you have not done so, and have since addressed a meeting at Windsor in the same direction, I am to request you to hand in your resignation of these offices by the first mail.If you have been under any misapprehension in the matter, and prefer discontinuing the offence complained of, your letter to that effect will be considered in Council, though with what result I am unable to state.; Your obedient servant, (Signed) J.R.CARTWRIGHT.Deputy Attorney-General.Elgin Myers, Esq., Q.C Orangeville, Ont.ORANGEVILLE, June 17, 1892, J.R.Cartwright, Esq., Deputy Attorney- General, foronte.Ont: Sir,~\u2014Replying to yours of the 16th inst., I desire you to understand that I would be guilty of a dereliction of principle if I sent in my resignation.I can only express my surprise at your suggesting that I should by such an act become a, party to my own condemnation.I will leave to the Government of Ontario, which professes to be a Liberal Government, representative of Liberal sentiments, and the upholders of free speech, the: full odium of dismissing one of its officials for exrressing his opinions on a matter which the Government has no more right to interfere with than it has with the expression of his religious views.The country will now have an opportunity of judging what professions of liberality on the part of à Liberal Government meant.It is plain rom the instances I have already quoted in my correspondence with.the private secretary of Mr.Mowat, that even the most violent expression of political opinion, if it is such that the Government approves, is not considered a disqualification for even the bench of Justice.From the first letter of Mr.Mowat\u2019s private secretary it appears that a part ofmy offence is that presume to criticise a manifesto of the Attorney-General, which, as it had no relation to anything connected with his office, was plainly not official.It can hardly be necessary to state, what will appear on the face of all have written, that I have not harbored the slightest intention of seeking the reunion of the English-speaking race on this continent by any but strictly constitutional means.Ÿ always assumed, in common with those who hold the same views, that the measure would have the consent of her Majesty and the Parliament of Great Britain, A Government which condemns me for expressing my views because the happen to differ from its own will he guilty of persecuti.n more worthy of Russia than of a country possessing British institutions which it professes to admire so much.It will be an act of tyranny so utterly unjustifiable that I for one cannot sce my way clear to aid it in its condemnation by resigning my office.Yours truly, (Signed) ErGIN Myers, LA BANQUE VILLE MARIE.The Annual General Meeting of the Share- holders\u2014The Year\u2019s Results.The anuual general meeting of the shareholders of La

have been disposed of, the directors being of the opinion that the remaining branches will be sufficient to employ the entire note circulation without which country branches are not sufficiently remunerative.The special charter obtained by this bank in 1881 having expired, its business is'now under the provisions of the Bank Act of 1890, and the stock taken over from sundr debtors in 1879-80 will not, after July 1 next, be available as a basis of circulation, Under these circumstances the directors are of opinion that a large portion of this stock should be cancelled, and a by-law authorizing such cancellation will be submitted of your approval.This willin no way affe the ordinary shareholder, whose stock wil remain the same.2 The directors are pleased to be able to report that a considerable number of weak accoulits have been closed during the ban year, and important reductions effected ih the cost of administration and in the rate of interest paid on deposits.These reductions, it is hoped, will increase considerably the net profits of the current year., _.A large part of the old affairs of the bank having béen now liquidated, it was deemed advisable to re-value what remained over, the result being as above stated.The abundant harvest of 1891 has not.resulted in such an improvement in business a8 was generally anticipated, but it has put affaire generally on a sounder footing, and another fairly good crop, of which there is a reasonable prospect, will, no doubt, lead to more business\u2019 activity.Mr.Ubalde Garand having resigned his position in the bank after seventeen years of faithful service, the directors appointed the President to the principal management, naming as his assistant Mr.Louis DeGuise, the chiefaccountant, an able and experienced officer.Mr.Garand, who retired to engage in business as a private banker, remains a shareholder and customer of the Bank.The branches have,as usual, been inspected from time to time, and the directors have every reason to be satisfied with the manner in which the agents and officers of the Bank have discharged their respective duties.The whole respectfully submitted.W.WEIR, Pres, Montreal, 15th

its Hull and St.Cesaire branches, the former to the Banque Jacques Cartier and the latter to the Banque de St.Hyacinthe.This action has been taken in view of the reduction in the circulation under the Bank Act of 1890.The disposal of these offices reduced the deposits by nearly $150,000, which explained the apparent falling off from last year\u2019s figures.Apart from this the deposits had increased at.all points, those of the remaining branches having experienced an augmentation of over $60,000.It would also be noticed that, notwithstanding the closing of these branches, the circulation was considerably higher than that of last year, indicating a more active business and fewer renewals, from which no circulation is derived.In fact, the Bank has had to use the bills of other banks to a considerable extent during the past season.Referring to the proposed cancellation of a portion of the stock owned by the Bank, the President explained that $83,900 of this stock appeared as held in suspense and ought clearly to be removed from the category of paid up stock either by cancellation or sale.To sell the stock at present prices would entail a loss upon the bank, and even if par was obtained, it is questionable whether it would be wise policy to pay 6 per cent.for money in the shape of dividends, while deposits could be had at much lower figures.If the liabilities of the Bank were much larger, it would no doubt be desirable to increase the capital, but ai present the ratio between our liabilities and the proposed capital of £350,000 does not exceed that of the banks generally.As to the stock held in trust, it could be dealt with later, except as to the amount necessary to bring the capital to $350,000 and mentioned in the\u2018resolution to be submitted.The President, in touching upon the costs of administration, explained that reductions \u2018| had been made, apart from Hull and St.Cesaire, amounting to about $7,000 per an- num, or 2 per cent.on the capital of $350,- 000.An important saving had also been effected by following the policy of the principal banks and paying interest on the min- mum monthly balances.* Speaking of the accounts, the President stated that at no time since his connection with the Bank had these been of so satisfactory a character.Both at the Head Office and'at the branches the greatest care was being taken to avoid weak accounts.Of course, it way impossible to conduct a banking business without making losses, but he hoped that with their present experience the various managers would be able to reduce these to a minimum.Since last year we have been exposed to fresh competition by two or three other banks establishing local agencies in the suburbs, notably in the neighborhood of our Point St Charles Branch.So far our business has mot suffered by this competition beyond the loss of a few discount accounts, but the result would no doubt be to interfere with the prosperity and growth of agencies established for years, and which were only beginning to be remunerative, Now that there is a Bankers\u2019 Association, the President expressed a hope that our Bankers would follow the example of the Scottish bankers and avoid as far as possible competition of this kind.Referring to the state of trade, the President said that while the improvement had not come up to what was expected after the abundant harvest of last year, a much better feeling prevailed, and engagements had been better attended to.The harvest rospects so far were fair, à large hay crop being assured, with a corresponding large produe- tion of butter andcheese.The graincrop was yet uncertain and much would depend upon the weather, The report having been seconded by the Vice-President, was then unanimously adopted.Messrs.E.Lichtenhein and Godfrey Weir were appointed scrutineers, and the election of the new board of directors was proceeded with, and resulted in the election of Messrs.W.Weir, W.Strachan, J.T.Wilson, O.Faucher and Godfrey Weir.The President then moved, seconded by Mr.E.Lichtenhein, that the following bylaw be added to and form part of the bylaws vf the Bank : Whereas part of the paid up stock of the Bank, amounting to $129,500, now held in the name of \u2018Shareholders\u2019 stock in suspense,\u201d to the amount of $93,900, and in the name of \u2018\u201c\u201cW.Weir and U.Garand in Trust,\u201d to the amount of £35,600, is actually the property of the Bank, the said stock be and is hereby cancelled, and shall not, hereafter, be accounted as forming part of the paid up or subscribed capital of the Bank, and that the subscribed capital stock shall be left at $370,500 and the .paid up capital stock at $350,000.: CNA This was carried unanimotsly, and, after the usual votes of thanks had Been moved and adopted, the meeting adjourned.At a subsequent meeting of the new Board of Directors, Mr.W.Waoir was re-elected President, and Mr: W-.Strachan,, Vice- President.RS Epp\u2019s Cocoa\u2014Grateful and Gomforting.By a thorough knowledge the natural laws which govern the operagfons of digestion and nutrition, and by careful application of the fine

Why, damme, pretty little girls were made to be kissed, and I've kissed a hundred in my time, yes, and some of them before my wife's eyes, but the late Mrs.Lennox was a woman of brains, not a selfish doll?\u201d \u201cMamma, if Uncle Cameron is going to gwear at us like this we had better go downstairs.Count de Treville is waitine in the parlor, you know,\u201d appealed the gentle Angela.At this the old gentleman turned fierce- Iy on his glowering half sister.\u201cAs for you, Tabitha, I am astonished and indignant at your heartlessness in striking that orphan child that hasn't a friend in the world but me.Never dare to do it again, or, sister or no sister, I'll make you suffer for it.and if there's such a thing as ghosts returning to earth I hope Lil's dead mother will haunt you tonight.\u201d Mrs.Coleman was about to reply in anger, but Angela pulled her away, and they went downstairs to their guest, the mother schooling her excited features to calmness as they went.\u201cWhere's Lil?In her room?I must go nnd see her a minute.As for you, Wa- verly, you would do well to remember that.you're engaged, and keep your kisses for Angela since she\u2019s so jealous of them!\u201d the old gentleman said, shortly, and turned away to seek the culprit in her refuge.He found her sitting at the open window with her curly head bowed on the sill.Patty had carefully removed the bridal dress and veil and carried them back to the spare room, and Lilian in her loose white dressing-gown and despondent attitude looked a very miserable little penitent indeed.Uncle Cam, who quite unconsciously to himself loved the little madcap better than any one clse in the world, was touched to the \u2018heart by her forlorn appearance, and exclaimed cheerily: \u201cCheer up, love, cheer up! A fine scolding I Lave given cross Tabitha for slapping you: She will never dare to do it again, never! And FH make it up to you, pet, as sure as you live! You shall have the finest watch and chain in Richmond.I'll send down there and get it to- worrow, so there!\u201d Lilian lifted her head, made a rush toward the fat old man, and landed in his arms, where she clung with her bruised face against his breast, sobbing loudly,passionately, convulsively, in a tumult of mingled emotions, pain, humiliation, and frightened love, for although the stinging blows of Mrs.Coleman's hands still burned her tender face, they had not brushed oft the blissful pain of Waverly's kiss that unconsciously to himself had burned with the ardor of a lover's, and which, alas! a woman's suddenly awak- cned heart had leaped to meet.Uncle Cam patted and patted the golden head, condoled and pitied, promised alternately dolls and jewels, but the tumult of Lilian\u2019s grief would not be stayed until her passionate sobs exhausted her, and she suffered him to place her back, pale and weary like a broken flower, in her easy-chair.\u201cNow tell me all about it,\u201d he said, but Patty, conscience-stricken and remorseful, came lastily forward and took all the blame on herself.Uncle Cam tried to look very stern indeed, but his eyes twinkled with fun under his bushy brows, and he confided to himself that he would have liked above all things to have seen the parlor tableau.\u201cAnd so you were at the bottom of the mischief, you little black monkey?Very well, 1 shall send you away, you naughty limb of Satan, and Miss Lil shall have a fine French maid like Angela!\u201d \u201cI'll run away if you take Patty from me!\u201d Lilian exclaimed, while the little maid vociferated that if she had to leave Lennox Hall and her beautiful Miss Lil she would immediately throw herself into the river.These dire threats brought the old man to terms, and he promised that Patty should remain if she abstained from further naughtiness.\u201cAs for you, my dear,\u201d he said to Lilian, \u201cdo you want to know the head and front of your offending?\u201d \u201cIt was the dress, Uncle Cam, but indeed it was not hurt the least bit\u2014and the veil was all right too, until she clutched and tore it beating me,\u201d Lilian said bitterly.\u201cIt was not altogether the dress, my dear.There was something much worse.\u201d \u201cWorse, Uncle Cam?\u201d \u201cYes, It was the kiss Waverly gave you.\u201d She started, but did not speak, and her heart throbbed hard and fast.\u201cThat was not right in Waverly,\u201d the old man said, gravely.\u201cIt was not right in him, nor fair to you, my dear, for you are growing into a young lady whose lips must be kept sacred for your own lover, and Waverly belongs to Angela.She was sadiy wounded by it, for she is very selfish.You will remember this and never let him repeat his folly, dear,\u201d he said, kissing her, and going out abruptly.CHAPTER VI THE COUNT'S DIAMONDS.\u201cAnd this fickle, faithless, indifferent lover is the man for whose sake you have rejected me, have trampled my heart beneath your crucl feet!\u201d said Count de Treville, theatrically.He was walking on the terrace with Arigeln, who had thrown a soft white cloud over her head, and in the tender light of the young May moon looked more fair and saintly than ever.He had been telling her how he had overheard everything, not intentionally, of course, but because, startled by her shrick, he had rushed to the door, and thus rooted to the spot, became a shocked listener to all that passed.\u201cMa foi, Angela, the man is cold as fee to you, careless and inconstant as the April sky, yet you throw me over for him,\u201d he continued passionately, and the lance of his dark eyes was full of reproach and adoration cleverly combined.Angela trembled slightly as she au- #wered in her soft tones: \u201cI have already explained to you, count, that I have no choice in this matter.It is like the marriages cf your own land\u2014one of convenience.\u201d To be continued.CLOSING SCENES.Another Term of School Days Just Ended\u2014 High School Prize Lists, The large assembly hall of the new High school was yesterday filled with pupils of the boys\u2019 department and their parents and friends, who had come to do them honor on the occasion of the closing exercises.The proceedings were presided over by the Rev, Dr.MacVicar, chairman of the P.B.S.C., and among others on the platform were Rev.Dr.R.Campbell, Dr.Kelley, Dr.Scrimger, E.W.Arthy, Rev.E.J.Rexford, B.A, principal ; Mrs.Fuller, principal of the girls\u2019 department, and the members of the teaching staff.After a hymn, * Who is there,\u201d had been sung by the children, prayer was offered by the Rev.Dr, Campbell, This was followed by the annual statement, presented by the rector, Mr, Rexford.In it he said that the past year had been a critical one for the High school.To lose their house, and to be divided into sections in temporary shelter, was in itself enough to affect materially the working of the school.In addition, they had lost one who had been at the head of the school for nearly half a century, and had assisted in bringing it to the present high state of efficiency.This referred to Dr.Howe, in whose honor a pleasing tribute was paid.It was ten years ago this month that the speaker had left the High school, after three years\u2019 work in it.Although there were now none of the old pupils left on it, he felt last September when coming back to it, like coming home.Notwithstanding the difficulties, the year\u2019s work had been very satisfactory to the teachers, and the benefit to the scholars was evident from the results of test and other examinations.They were now trainingnotonly the mental nature of the boys, but also the moral and physical, and still more in this direction would be done in the future.Speaking of the much-vexed question of home work, he said that they tried as far as possible to avoid overpressure of pupils, both at home and at school.They tried to make the home work reasonable in amount, and would be glad to hear from any parents who thought that too much was given.The work of the preparatory department was detailed, and the announcement made that a kindergarten department would be started in September.The boys and girls departments are independent of each other, and the new kindergarten would be opened in the girls department.Both boys and girls, however, would be able to attend it, as both principals would work together in connection with it.The principal features of the preparatory class were the teaching of French and drawing.In conclusion Mr.Rexford asked the parents not to criticise the teachers before the pupils at home.He also made an appeal for contributions of pictures to aid in decorating the walls of the new building.The prizelist was then read, being presented by Dr.MacVicar, as follows : First preparatory.\u2014Macauley Cushing, Sidney Lamb, Douglas Gurd, Ferdinand Dreschel, Reginald Davidson, Leslie Skel- ton, Robert Inglis, Andrew LeMesurier, Irving Rexford, James McMichael, Arthur Sumner, Wm.Peel, Kenneth Strachan.Second preparatory \u201cB.\u201d\u2014Allan Matthews, Armand Chevalier, Herbert Molson, Henry Skelton, Gordon Paterson.Second preparatory \u201cB\u2019\u2014Walter Mol.son, Grant Campbell, Willie Robertson, Philippe Chevalier, Norman McWilliams, Harry Simpson, Harry Morris, Alec Mac- Lean, Elson Rexford, Ivan Dyer, Edward Cooke, Arthur Costigan.Second preparatory \u201cA\u201d \u2014Oliver Waugh.Third preparatory \u2018\u2018A.\u201d\u2014Theodore A.Lomer, Fraser B.Gurd, William Smardon, CHester A.Mooney, J.Belfrage Picken, Hugh Willar, Sydmer Ewing, George Me- Dougall, Talbot M.Papineau, Fred.A.Mc, Kay, John H.Hodges, Louis J.Papineau, Allen J.Miller, William Semmelhaack, Harold B.Savage, Alfred Flint, Fred.Johnson, Edgar Proudfoot, Gordon Proudfoot.Third prep.\u2018\u2018B.\u201d\u201d\u2014Arthur Roberts, William Radfoni, Crawford Gordon, Charles Hodgson, Cecil Tyre, Fred, Carter, George Savage, Ernest Strachan, Michael McEn- tyre, Russell Kissock, David Robertson, Charles Smith, Melville Snowdon, Edgar St.Charles.First form \u2018\u201c A\u201d\u2014Temple Jamieson, Ger- hard Lomer, Frank Becket, Esmond Peck, William Cairns, Norman Crawford, Ernest Gnadinger, Edward Suit, James Langton, Harold Paton, Lawrence Church, N.Bruce, John Edgar, Francis Scrimger, Wilmot Kis- sock, W.Simister, N.J.Inglis, Fred.Peel.Dav.McGavin, H.Whitley, Arthur B.Chaudbert, Baumann Peck, Cecil Tough, Walter Stewart, Douglas Inglis;

FRIDAY MORNING, JUNE 24.WHERE WE ARE OVERGOY- ERNED.The session of the Quebec Legislature has been compared to the old fable of \u2018the mountain in labor that brought forth a ridiculous mouse.\u201d The comparison is, however, scarcely fair,because the parallel is not quite exact.The throes of the labor were indeed prodigious and convulsed the whole province, but in an economic sense not even a mouse was brought forth.The \u201cmus\u201d of the original Latin proverb would perhaps in this instance be better Americanized by the word \u201cmuss,\u201d for all the shouting for economy has indeed ended in a \u201cridiculous muss.\u201d Where are the vaunted reductions in expenses that were to have restored the equilibrium of our finances?\u2018Where is the whole regiment of useless officials that had been appointed by the late government, and whose services could be dispensed with to advantage?The men may have been changed, but the muster roll is as big as éver, and their pay has still to be provided for.The subsidies to railways, and other grants and bonuses, show no signs of cessation.And the expenses of the Legislature itself are kept at high water mark.The furs and feathers of the mimic court at Quebec must be kept going if we have to tithe the beg- garman\u2019s basket and licence the road scrapers to do it.Unnecessary expense in legislation is always an evil, but more particularly in a province that is passing through a financial crisis, or perhaps it would be justice to say, has just come out of a financial crash.The persistent resolution of the Quebec Legislature not to interfere with, or attempt to lessen, the dead weight of governmental expenses invites comparison with similar expenses in other provinces.If we take our nearest neighbor, Ontario, the richest and most populous of the federation, what is the cost of running the Legislature there as compared with Quebec ?Ontario has a population of 2,114,321 and is governed by a Legislative Assembly consisting of 91 members, or one representative to each 23,234 inhabitants.The rate of indemnity, or sessional allowance, is $600 per man, or $54,600 in all.Quebec has two Houses, 24 councillors and 73 M.P.P.\u2019s.Ninety-seven legislators in all for 1,488,535 people, or one representative for 15,346.Our 97 legislators are paid $500 each as sessional allowance, making a total of $77,600, against Ontario\u2019s $54,600.Of course the extra House also entails a large sum for contingencies, which is saved to the people of Ontario.If the number of our representatives were cut down to the level of Ontario, one bo 23,234 inhabitants we should have but 65 in place of 97, and if paid at the samerate as those in Ontario the list would total $39,000 in place of $77,600.Is there any valid reason for the additional house ?Ontario has managed not only to live but prosper without it.Js there any reason why the poorer people of Quebee should be compelled to pay $200 per annum each more than the richer province of Ontario does ?The chief reason appears to be that the people of Ontario have no milch cow \u2018such as Montreal has been to this province, to pay three-fifths of all taxation.HARD LINES FOR GERRYMANDER JOURNALISTS.The Government backdown on the gerrymander bill must have been as gall and wormwood to thoir more zealous supporters.For months they have been protesting from their seats in Parliament, and through the columns of their newspapers, that the original proportions were fair and reasonable.They have even in some instances worked up a sort of vir- tuwous indignation at the very idea of being suspected of making a dishonorable use of their power.Others have gone on the assumption that \u2018\u201c\u2018all\u2019s fair in love and war\u201d and have but gloried in their shame.But the persistency: of the Opposition was too much for them.Their deliberate falsification of the popular vote has been too openly exposed.The dice have been subjected to a critical examination and have bconpronounced \u2018\u2018cogged\u201d.It was impossible any longer to pretend that the measure was in the interest of the people, and its Most offensive portions have been dropped.We can imagine how, in the bitterness of their hearts, the Tory scribes have reviled Sir John.As the dishonesty had been brazened out so far they would have preferred to take all the odium of pushing it to completion.Now they have, in their turn, to eat their own words, and as they ponder over the best terms in which to approve of the back- down and to admit the unjustifiable nature of the clauses they have hitherto held up for approbation, they squirm in anguish.They may well ask : Are thy servants dogs, that they should be forced to eat so much dirt ?But they know the hand that shakes down the acorns, and as they justified it in sin so must they now justify it in repentance.That is the only way of keeping open the treasury account.GROVER CLEVELAND THE CHOICE Grover Cleveland is the Democratic candidate for President of the United States.His nomination marks the complete collapse of the audacious Hill-Tam- many movement by which a band of disgruntled soreheads in New York tried to bulldoze the Democrats of the United States into rejecting the man they recognized as their leader.They threatened the loss of New York state, which is essential to Democratic success, if Grover Cleveland were nominated ; and counted on thus coercing the National Democracy into submitting to the dictation of the bosses of Tammany Hall.They have failed disastrously ; their idolis shattered; and their enemy is chosen to again lead the Democratic forces.The question now is : What are they going to do about it That in 1888 they knifed Cleveland to insure the election of D.B.Hill as Governor of New York is clear ; the New York Tribune recently admitted that the New York Republicans traded cnough ballots with Tammany to insure the election of Hill on the one hand and Harrison on the other.This action was probably due not so much to dislike of seeing Cleveland in the White House as to fear for the success of Hill, They preferred to make the state election sure at the expense of the national candidate ; and they did it.This year there is no state campaign.The probabilities arc that, with very few exceptions, the Democrats of New York will support Cleveland, while he will poll a largo independent vote.The prospects of carrying New York are excellent; and though the securing of the electoral vote of that State does not insure the presidency it makes it more than probable.Cleveland\u2019s prospects of again occupying the White House are quite as promising as President Harrison's chances of succeeding himself.THE DEMOCRATIC TARIFF PLANK.A perusal of both the majority and minority reports to the Democratic convention on the tariff question should encourage those Canadian Liberals who are timidly trying to head for a tariff for revenue only.In no country has protection found bolder and more outspoken supporters than in the United States.For a time it seemed to carry everything before it, and even the Democratic party was forced into half acquiescence.In spite of all exposures of its iniquities and absurdities workingmen were for a time persuaded that absolute protection would raise the rate of wages, and the trading classes that it would extend the sphere of their operations.The rapid expansion due to the almost unlimited extent of virgin soil to be laid open to the cultivator, and ths pressure of foreign immigration bringing almost unlimited numbers of stout hearts and strong arms to aid capital in the transformation of prairie into farming land, brought an access of prosperity that was taken advantage of by advocates of protection.New cities sprang up as mushrooms in the night, and then construction, and the provision of meansof transit to carry their productions to foreign markets and to bring in return the luxuries of civilization found ample employment.Fora time work was plentiful and wages fair and all the consequences of opening up new and rich countries were ascribed to the virtues of protection.As time went on, farmers and workers, the bone\u2019and sinew of the country, began to see through the sophistry that had imposed upon them.The wealth of the country was increasing marvelously, but what share was falling to the lot of those who created that wealth ?Each decade multiplied she fortunes of millionaires, and built up a plutocracy in every populous centre.The rapid growth of the fortunes of speculators and monopolists amazed the world, but coincident with it, the struggle for bare life, of the poorer classes, grew fiercer.While the growth in land values created millionaires, it plunged the workers deeper and deeper into hopeless poverty.The democracy in amazement found itself sinking lower and lower in hopeless bondage to the plutocracy.The tariff platform adopted by the great Democratic convention at Chicago shows how far the country has advanced in knowledge and common sense.The incessant labors of a few earnest workers has borne fruit, and the sturdy protest of such a large section of the people cannot fail in further opening the eyes of the over-protected working class : \u201cWe denounce Republican protection as a fraud, » robbery of the great majority of the American people for the benefit of the few.We declare it to be a fundamental principle of the Democratic party that the Federal Government has no constitutional power to enforce and collect tariff duties except for the purpose of revenue only, and demand that the collection of such taxes shall be limited to the necessities of the Government, and honestly and economically administered.\u201d It is a trumpet call to the electorate to return to the principles of justice and economy.Equal opportunity for all and special privileges for none is the battle cry of the new democracy.The coming election will be fought squarely on the issue of free trade versus protection, but by free trade we do not pretend to say that the success of Mr.Cleveland will mean an immediate reversal of all the legislation of the last quarter of a century.It will, however, be a long step from the organized slavery of protection, and will point the bows of the ship of state in the right direction, but it will not mean immediate attainment of the millennium.The very boldness of the challenge will infuse the energy of despair into all who profit, or imagine they profit, by protection.The alliance between the plutocrats and the Republicans will THE MONTREAL HERALD, FRIDAY, JUNE 24.1892.amply provide that party with the sinows | of war, and little scruple will be felt in their use.The nation is, however, aroused.If success is not attained now it will surely come, and Canadian statesmen had better prepare for that event.The success of the free trade party will so improve the conditions of life in the States that unless similar measures prevail in this country its working population will ebb away fast as a receding tide.With all the inconveniences of its present trade restrictions, its attractions have drawn away millions of Canadians, and under à more beneficent system of legislation they would become almost irresistible.Better prepare for the inevitable by putting our own house in order.Last Fesruary D.B.Hill made a remark that while Cleveland had the brass bands he had the delegates.Cleveland has both at present.ACCORDING to the last census the British and foreign born portion of the population of Canada in 1891 was 645,705 souls; in 1881 it was 009,318\u2014an increase of just 36,389.In the same period according to figures supplied by the veracious Mr.Lowe of the Department of Agriculture, there entered the Dominion of Canada 806,000 people.Where have the balance gone ?CITY AMUSEMENTS.The Personnel of the New York Comedy Co.\u2014Other Attractions.The company appearing next week at the Queen\u2019s Theatre are most of them favorably known in Montreal, and have all established reputations and important positions on the New York stage.Mr.E.D.Lyons has recently created à sensation in a new play, \u201cFriends,\u201d which ran for five weeks in the metropolis.Mr.Verner Clarges has been seen here twice with Rose Coghlan.Mr.Charles Smiley has played leading parts in Mr.Frohman\u2019s organization.Mr.Edward Emory, a brother of the talented English actress Winifred Emory, for several years played all Wyndhain\u2019s sifocesses in the English provinces.Mr.Grant Stewart has been here with Rosina Vokes several times and is well known and liked.Mr.Littledale Power is a rising young character actor; he is a grandson of the famous Irish comedian Tyrone Power.Of the lenders of the company, Miss Ethel Winthrop and Miss Marion Kilby are graduates to the stage from this city, and were prominent here as amateurs some years ago, Miss Marion Kilby has had an excellent schooling in Rosina Vokes\u2019 company, and next season appears in one of the leading New York stock companies.Miss Winthrop, better known here as Mrs.Gibh, has rigen rapidly in her profession.She was last season with \u2018\u2018 The Charity Ball \u201d and Nat Goodwin.Miss Lottis Alter, a pretty and clever soubrette, and Miss Clara Rain- ford, complete the company.The opening iece, \u2018\u201c Drifted Apart,\u201d will be played by Miss Winthrop and Mr.Charles Smiley, The entire company appear in \u2018 Betsy,\u201d a rattling farcical comedy SOUTHERN SCENES, Smith\u2019s

A JULY 4TH TREAT.An advance program for the Rahdt-Ca- vallo benefit on July 4th was seen yesterday.It can safely be pronrised that thede two performances will be of the best the old thentre has seen, and that is saying a good deal.MONTE CRISTO.The theatre-going public will be pleased, to learn that Augustine Clarke's company will present the famous drama, * Monte Cristo,\u201d at the Theatre Royal next week.Comments on this splendid draina are needless, and the success which attended its presentation in our city last season will doubtless attend it at the Royal.Fatality at Buckingham.The child of Mr, Telesphore Souci, of Buckingham, was burned to death at Buckingham last Sunday.Probably in imitation of his elders he took the coal oil can and poured some of the liquid on the fire in the kitchen stove, An explosion followed with fatal results.Mr.Blake's Constituency Chosen.Hon.Edward Blake and his son are to sail on the steamship Parisian on Sunday morning.South Longford has been chosen as Mr.Blake's constituency.South Longford is at present represented by James G.Fitzgerald, who was returned unopposed in June, 1888.It has a voting population of 4,614, a large preponderance being Home Rulers or Nationalists.When it was last contested it recorded 3,046 Home Rulers and 321 Unionists.Damage at Sawyerville.Recent floods did $10,000 damage at Saw- yerville, Compton county.The saw mill of Mr.Wm, Sawyer, and the furniture factory of Mr.H.A.Worby, were washed away.The booms holding saw logs belonging to Mr.Sawyer and the Cookshire Mill Company gave way and the logs went over the dam.Mr.Levi French at Eaton Corner estimates his loss to his farm at $1000, having ruined nearly all of his crops.There are about 2000 logs on his meadows.Other farmers along the river tell the same story, Still Assailing the Government.Compton County Chronicle (Con.) : The Eastern Townships, with their strong united Conservative members, are still unrepresented in the Cabinet.We have either an inferior lot of members, or else there is a determination on the part of the Premier to snub us direct.The latter, we believe, is the case, When comparison is made with the Premier and other Cabinet Ministers we would blush with shame if we could not elect better material to represent us at Ottawa.The Cabinet, composed as it is at present, has not got the heart and confidence of the people of Canada with them.They may have a large majority, but there is no reason to think they are receiving the support of the country.The Break-Down of Reciprocity.Philadelphia T#nes: What is especially interesting in this message from the President is the account it gives of the entire failure of the efforts to establish commercial reciprocity between the United States and Canada.This is the one field of real importance for the reciprocal interchange of natural and industrial products.Compared with this all reciprocity treaties with petty West Indian and Central American states are scarcely worth considering.And it is precisely because of its great importance that the idea of reciprocity breaks down at the Canadian border.Reciprocity, if it means anything at all, means the free in- terehange of products for mutual advantage.What is called reciprocity by the present administration means only the exchange of such articles of commerce as can be produced only in one of the reciprocating countries.We do not wish to let in anything from Canada that can be produced here, and the Canadians, who are following our own policy, do not wish to let in any of our products that could compete with their own.The natural result is that neither country has anything to offer the other that would be of the slightest advantage to it.The negotiations for our reciprocity treaty with Canada have therefore naturally broken down.A BUDGET FROM SHERBROOKE.A Taxation Proposal Raises a Dust\u2014Sher- brooke\u2019s Proposed New Hospital.[Special to The Herald.) SHERBROOKE, June 22,\u2014 Last Friday's issue of the Sherbrooke Gazette contains what is probably the last of a bitter controversy between its editor and Mr.Proulx, arising from provisions of a proposed charter for the city.The cause of the dispute really lies in the racial and sectarian division of the people of this province, section and city.This division is certainly a bar to progress and to all united effort so much needed to improve the condition of the people.The racial and sectarian features involved are obscurely hidden in the provisions for a school tax placed upon property as follows: First, property of Catholics for Catholic schools; second, property of Protestants for Protestant schools; third, upon commercial corporations, the proceeds of this last to be divided according to population, and applied in that ratio with the amounts devoted to the purposes of the first and second specifications or \u201cpanels.\u201d It happens that the Paton corporation is by far the largest corporation in the city, is owned entirely by Protestants, as are other smaller ones the result of à tax upon machinery consequently takes from them a small additional sum, and the division before mentioned devotes two-thirds of it to Catholic school purposes by reason of ihe relative proportions of the city\u2019s population, and upon it, although the question is \u2018\u2018ambushed\u201d or hidden by other avowed reasons, arises the controversy.Another feature of the charter is antagonized by parties interested, that is the one allowing the taxation of unimproved land within the city limits at a higher valuation, Hitherto this has, for the purposes of taxation, been valued as farmland.There is much of such land in the city held at city and speculation prices, but taxed at low farm values, and the owners are opposed to any change.The new amendinent provides for taxing the farmers\u2019 houses and five acres of land as city property and the remainder as farm property only.This limitation will allow of reaching but little farm property upon a higher valuation.The amended charter also provides for taxation in the most sweeping manner, and coming before the ratepaying public at the same time as does the new revenue enactments at Quebec, we are evidently upon the threshold of a long discussion concerning finance.The peculiar feature of the proposed taxation policy \u2014~city or provincial \u2014is that neither proposes to tax * the dollar.\u201d Everything, everybody, every business transaction is sought out and burdened except the dollar and its owner.Why is this ?AN AMUSING EPISODE.An amusing episode relative to Eastern Township matters occurred at Quebec lately.Aid was asked on hehalf of * the Protestant Hospital of Sherbrooke.\u201d It was eloquently favored by Mr.Hackett and reluctantly opposed by Mr.Stephens upon economical grounds alone, The Stanstead member called Mr.Stephens\u2019 attention to the well known and established reputation of the institution, and Mr.\u2018Stephens expressed his admiration therefor and expressed his fu\u2019 knowledge of and familiarity with its favorable operations.The fact is no such institution exists, the aid asked being the first or umong the early steps for its establishment.Frere does exist a very efficient hospital, well appointed and well managed, open toall, Catholic or Protestant, built and maintained by the efforts of the grey nuns, so that either both of the members named were \u2018mixed on their facts,\u201d or else one, rather humorously inclined, perpetrated a .| joke upon his fellow member.CROPS LOOKING WELT.The crops are looking finely.If there were but assured any extensive market pro- gpects would to the farmer be encouraging.But markets are limited to local demands, and prices beyond this are low for all produce.Even maple sugar has fallen in price, 80 that our farmers are actually worse off on account of the reduction of duties upon cane sugar, for this has equally affected the price of maple sugar, and as our farmers as a class produce more of maple than they buy of cane, and rely upon selling a considerable surplus, they find out that the gain on purchasing one does not compensate for loss on sales of the other; and at the same time the producing farmer across the line 45 gets a compensating bounty of two cents per pound, enabling him to undersell his Canadian neighbor by that amount and still realize his usual returns on the crop.As the surplus in the Eastern Townships and Beauce section equals some hundred car lots, and a value hitherto of $500,000, a reduction to $375,000 is quite an item.There is, in consequence, much ¢ thinking being done\u201d at present by \u2018Mr, Farmer\u201d upon Government matters, and comparisons are being drawn as to trade policies of different countries, and a desire is expressed that, while following or adopting the had features of some or of all, the Government at Ottawa should occasionally copy some of the good ones, even a8 an experiment.For Over Fifty Years.Mrs.Winslow\u2019 Soothing Syrup has been used for over fifty ycars by millions of mothers for their children while teething with perfect success.It soothes the child, softens tho gums, allays sll pain, cures wind colic, and is the best remedy for diarrhoea, It will relieve the poor little sufferer immediately.Sold by druggists in every part of the worl Twenty-five cents a bottle.Bo sure and ask for \u201cMrs.Winslow's\u2019 Soothing Syrup.and take no other.IN THE SUPERIOR COURT.PROVINCE OF QUEBEC, } District of Montreal.No.2034\u2014Dame Marie Alice Boilard, of the City and District of Montreal, wife separate as to property of Charles Eugene Charbon- neau, of tho rame place, merchant, doing business alone at the City of Montreal as a wine and liquor merchant (marchande fabrique), under the firm name and style of Charbonneau & Co., and duly authorized by her said husband for the urpose of her said business, and the said Charles Eugene Charbonneau for the purposes of authorizing his said wife, plaintiffs ;

Sir,\u2014 Allow me space to contradict \u201c\u2018the 8d tale of woe\u201d from our Huntingdon friends.They are more to he pitied than aughed at, Inasmuch as they are devoid of olorable or gentlemanly feelings.The report as given 1n your issue of 2nd instant, end, misrepresentation from beginning to The match had no sooner began when Some of the visitors commenced not an un- cual ery for them, such as \u201ckill him and Tush him, > with names attached unfit to Mention, which was not received with favor v the excited admirers of our club, but the trouble really began, and may be attributed to a prominent saloon-keeper of Hunting.don, who was appointed umpire in contravention to the rules of the N.A.L.A., as he was a greatly interested party, which easily oan be proved in refusing to give the Valleyfield club the second game after the ball was passed through the goals a second time, which the people from Huntingdon undoubtedly consider fair play.Then the umpire who was appointed to replace the above mentioned saloon keeper, deliberately gave a game to the visitors when the ball passed at least three fect above the goal post, which I have no doubt many of our visiting friends would freely admit and in fact did admit inasmuch as they returned the money they had wagered on the event.This may Le termed the culminating point as the excitement ran very high, which no one regrets more than the people of Valley- field.Your correspondent is in error when he states that one of the players took part in the striking of the umpire or the row.This is not so.The cause of the row may be easily accounted for.Imagine a number of Hunting- don outsiders flocking on to the grounds probably to greet their boys in their victory, ut, unfortunately, the Valleyfield adniirers were too excited to recognize this and the matter turned to pugilism.The cashier, Mr.MeLachlan, of the E.T.Bank, did receive a bad wound, but his conduct all through the match warranted him treatment of some nature.The citizens feel sore over his abuse, and would have extended him assistance to get the culprit,but the excited crowd prevented it.Outside the grounds, we may say, they asked for Valley- field's best fighters, and they met them in a body and were awarded due rights of pugilists.I may state the V.A.A.A.are doing all in their power to apprehend the guilty parties who took part in the row.Further, I can state for a fact, the whole matter will be laid before the Council of the N.A.L.A.before the flags will be given up.JouN Lowe, JR.Valleyfield, June 23.TENNIS.The McGill Tournament.Owing to the unfavorable condition of the weather yesterday afternoon the McGill Tennis Club\u2019s handicap tournament was not continued.If the weather is decent this afternoon the match will be continued.ATHLETICS.The Hackman's U.& B, Society\u2019s Games.The Montreal Hackman\u2019s U.& B.society will hold annual pic-nic and games at the Montreal Driving Park, Point St.Charles, on Saturday.The committee in charge are confident of making this year\u2019s games the most successful that the society has held.Last year, on account of much sickness among the members the affair was not a very pronounced success, but this year everything points towards a splendid day's sport.There will be foot races of every description, for which numerous and handsome prizes are offered for compcti- tion.In addition to these races, there will be three trotting and three running races, for which good purses will be given.Should the weather he favorable, the hackmen will no doubt have a most successful day of sport.BICYCLE.The C.W.A.Meeting at Kingston on Dominion Day.The Canadian Wheelmen\u2019s association meet will be held at Kingston, on July 1, and everything promises to a great success.Only Low and Louson of the Montreal Bicycle club have as yet sent in their entries, but is expected that Talby aud Simpson will also be seen on the track.SKIFF SAILING.Ford Jones, Though Defeated, Will Try Again Although Ford Jones was defeated at the New York Canoe clubs\u2019 international cup race, and comes back to Canada without the cup, he is by no means discouraged, and says he will make another attempt to win it.BASHBALL.National League Games Yesterday.At Chicago\u2014Wet grounds, At New York\u2014 New York.0 1 0 0 Philadelphia, 0 1 3 0 R.H, E, 0-2 63 0100x\u20145 592 0i00 Batterics\u2014King and Boyle;

Ricumoxp, June 23.\u2014Our storekeepers do not like the idea of the ten dollar provincial tax.It is looked upon as makin the parishes the wards of the cities an towns.The tax will have to come directly out of profits, It is not high enough to force a \u2018\u2018combine\u201d on prices.But the principle of the tax, namely, that the few have to pay for the many, while the many retain the right of dictating who shall be our rulers, is what is most feared.In municipal affairs we do not accord a vote either to those who pay no taxes or to those ratepayers who have not paid up their dues; and the same principle should apply to provincial affairs.The Government asks for an alternative scheme to the one they propose.Let them go back to their suggestion, namely, direct taxation on land values.They may make party losses by so doing, in the parishes, but they will have counterbalancing gains in the most intelligent portions of the country if they conduct an economical administration.It looks as if the tax on real estate transfers would considerably injure the notaries and registrars, by limiting the number of sales.But apart from their personal loss, the province at large will suffer by a system that will make the transfer of real estate onerous to buyer and seller, and the ver principle will deter the best class of intending settlers.NOTES FROM RICHMOND.No Trace of the Body of Guy Simpson-Fire- man Reid\u2019s Funeral.[Special to The Herald.} RicumoxDp, Que:, June 23.\u2014The recent heavy rains have raised the St.Francis so high \u2018that all attempts to find the body of the unfortunate Guy Simpson have so far proved fruitless.; The body of fireman George Reid, who was killed at the Compton disaster, was brought here last night.The funeral will be to-morrow afternoon, under the charge of the Firemen\u2019s Brotherhood, of which he was a member.Reid was a sergeant in Captain Brown's company of the 54th Batt., and on Tuesday was to have gone to the Compton camp.; The weather giyes some promise to-day of clearing up.\u2018The recent rains have been very heavy, and, it is feared, have done much damage to grain crops.An 1, C.R.Warehouse Burned.Sr.Joux, N.B., June 23.\u2014This evening the I.C.R.warehouse at the railway deep water terminus was totally destroyed by fire.There was no freight of any consequence in the building.Some lumber on the wharf was slightly damaged, and also one or two cars.The warehouse was an old one and the total loss will not exceed 825,000.AWFUL EXPLOSION Two Men Killed Outright and Another Missing.Many People Injured\u2014A St.Louis de Mile End Calamity\u2014A Dynamite Blast in a Drain the Cause\u2014Houses Rocked on Their Foun- dations\u2014\u2018* Accidental Death\u201d the Verdict at the Coroner's Inquests.Deadly dynamite was the responsible cause of the awful accident that occurred in the village of St.Louis De Mile End yesterday afternoon.THE DEAD ARE: PIERRE PAQUETTE,aged 30 years, laborer.Francois BERNARD, aged 52 \u2018years, laborer.MISSING, \u2014LATREMOILLE, laborer, said to be missing.THE INJURED.Hoxore PAQUETTE, laborer.N.Grosspors, laborer.\u2014PAINCHAUD, joiner.J.MARTIN, plasterer.A.Beuno.LEo.GRAVEL, aged 10.Francois ST.Lours, aged 12.And several others slightly injured, who were on the street at the time, but whose names could not be ascertained.The residents of the municipality of St.Louis de Mile End, Infant Jesus parish, a suburb of Montreal, were startled shortly before 2 o\u2019clock yesterday afternoon by a terrific explosion.Houses rocked on their foundations, window glasses were shattered in their frames, crockery was thrown from shelves and cupboards in all directions, and the alarmed people in the immediate vicinity of the shock fled from their dwellings.Reaching the street they were met by a perfect shower of shattered stones and falling debris, while on the immediate spot of the accident in the wreck and ruin, two, if not three lives had been blotted out, and many others had been more or less severely injured.To all it was evident that the shock had been caused by the ignition of some powerful explosive, and all hurried at once towards the direction from which the report came.This was on St.Joseph street, a li'tle to the westward of the Convent of Providence, almost in front of the village church, An awful spectacle awaited those who first reached the scene.On the banks of earth thrown up on either side of a sewer, that has been in course of construction for some weeks past on the street above named, stood, or sat, or lay, a dozen or more workmen who had been engaged on the sewer.These were in a dazed, semi-demented condition, and a little further from the banks lay two bleeding and horribly mangled bodies.Life was still in both, but it was ebbing fast.It was all that remained of Pierre Paquette and Francois Bernard, two workmen, who a few ino- ments before had been at work on the cut, but who were now beyond human aid, the vietims of terrible dynamite.Almost at the moment of the accident, even before the curling blue smoke that hung ahove the fatal excavation had cleared, one of the priests of the parish church came from the presbytery and knelt beside the maimed bodies, and as far as in his power lay administered the last rites of the Catholic church ere they died.By this time those who were at the scene: | began to regain their scattered senses, and, the remains of the two unfortunate men were tenderly raised and carried into the adjacent convent.Dr.Barcelo had arrived, but then all signs of life had gone; both men had passed beyond the reach of surgical aid, i AN AWFUL SPECTACLE.Both bodies presented an awful spectacle, that of poor Paquette had the stomach completely torn open.The face was blackened, urned and unrecognizable, while hardly a! bone remained in the shattered frame.The body of Bernard presented almost an equally terrible spectacle.The head had been almost completely torn from the body, and the whole interior of the throat and lower part of the neck was laid bare.Both arms and legs were broken in several placès and to all it was apparent that death if not instantanequs had come without pain.Of those Injured the most serious case was young Paquette, a nephew of one of the killed, who besides having an arm broken was severely cut and was also rendered totally deaf by the shock of the explosion.The others injured had only slight wounds from being struck by flying stones and debris, HOW TIE ACCIDENT OCCURRED.The news of the accident rapidly spread through the village and city, and crowds quickly thronged to the scene.Among those early on hand was a HERALD reporter.To obtain particulars as to how the accident actually occurred was a work of difficulty.As stated, the work on the sewer has been going on for some weeks in charge of Mr.Archibald McCaughlan, foreman of the works, who had some twelve men employed.It was the custom at the works to set off the blasts in batches of ten or twelve.Owing to the fact, however, that it was imposei- ble tocontrol thedischargeoftheshots,several going off together, the reports could not be connected, consequently it was impossible to know if all the shots bad been discharged or not.On Tuesday eleven shots were fired in a batch, and it was thought they had all gone off.This proved not to be the fact, however.The work was continued, and yesterday afternoon the men started to prepare another lot of blasts.The two youths, Paquette and Bernard, started to \u201ctamp\u201d one of the holes.The rod was placed in the hole, and at the first stroke of the hammer on the rod the explosion occurred.THE INQUESTS.Immediately after the accident Coroner Jones was notified, and commencing at 4 o\u2019clock, he held the two inquests at the convent.The following jury were empanelled: Pierre Guernon (foreman), J.B.Brunet, Audre Bastien, Absalon Sauve, Philas Ouel- lette, Joseph Durocher, William Johnson, Joseph Belanger, Eustache Beauchamps, Medard Paquet, and Louis Sebois.In each case the evidence was the same.Only three witnesses were examined at either ; these were Mr.McCaughlan, the foreman at the works ; Dr.Barcelg and Honore Paquette.The foreman related particulars ag to the work and how theacci- dent happened, as given above.This was substantiated by the testimony of Paquette.Dr.Barcelo told of the nature of the wounds in the deceased.Both inquests were over in less than two hours, and in each case a verdict of \u201c Accidental death, imputing blame to no one,\u201d was returned.IS HE MISSING?A strange feature of the accident is that several of those employed at the works claim that a man named Latremouille was standing in the drain at the time and that since the explosion no trace of him can be found.Some say that be was blown to ieces; others that he was suddenly crazed by the accident and had strayed away, while others claim there was no such man near the scene at the time.Capt.Streatfield Robbed on a Train.BELLEVILLE, Ont., June 23.\u2014Capt.Streat- field, aide-de-camp to Major General Herbert, was robbed of $260 whilst asleep on the train en route to this city last night.General Herbert arrived last night and visited the camp.This morning he began an inspection of the troops in camp, but rain interrupted the proceedings.\u2018cup WITH THE COUNCIL, (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE.)
