believicg tbat the general principles laid down by the Literal party Phase tbe honor of heing identified with, are thote that will conter lasting advantages ou the country snd deal out equal justice to all classes, Ta the event of being elected, I would advocate that the laws b» eo framed ae to give all possible encouragement to the cause of Temperauce.I would uee my best efforts to elevate, protect, and give value to labor, the source of all wealth, I would advocate the adoption of such a tariff as would give, ample protection to our howe industries, while discriminating Against none, every person contributing to the revenue in proportion to the value.of the material he can afford to buy and use, thus encouraging the making of the better or higher priced goods and keeping our skilled operatives atl home, instead of their being obliged to go where such goods are made, and where, consequently, mare wages are earned, whereas at present our efforts are almost entirely devoted to making low-priced goode, coneuming much imported material asd spending compara atively little labor on them.I would also oppose the system of brivging prison labor into competition with free labor, and, to enccurage manufacturing, I would admit free all raw material rot produced in the country.Quotiog and adopting the words of Mr.Biske:\u2014\u201c I am convine- ed that manufacturers have nothing to fear from the triumph of the Liberai Party.\u201d I would also advocate reciprocity with our neighbors in products in their natural state.If elected, it ehall be my study to relieve importers of the many snnoyances now altending the paseege of goods through tbe Custom House, to render tre collection of duties as little vexatious ns possible, and to reduce tariff changes to a minimum- Iam in favor of the Federal Govern, mert assuming the debt incurred by the Harbor Comwissioners in improving the ship channel of the St.Lawrence, and alco in fevor of the total abolition of canal tolls, eo that we may be able successfully vo compete with our neightors and our own largely subsidised railroads, thus drawicg trade to ovr city as well es tempting capitalists to utilize ,the magnificent water power that lies at our docr, one that is sufficient 10 turn all the machinery row in use in Canada.Having been for nearly forty years en~ gaged in developing the resources of our country, in foreet sud city, and occupying I hope, no mean place in your ettimation I confidertly sek your support, assuring you that if: given it will be my endes- vor to do that which will be for

Crilly and others who are being prosecuted by the Crown on the charge of conspiracy.The Archbishop says Le sends the contribution as a protest against the insult to many members of his flock by the packing of the jury chesen to try the defendants, ; THE DUBL'N TRIAL, Dillon Likely to be Convicted\u2014& Protest Agxisst Jury Packiug.DusLiv, Feb, 16.\u2014The trial of the conspiripg M.P.%: is now proceeding, A boycotted juror, who was challenged for partiality to the government, but who was actually decided upon as competent and impartial, is attentively listening to the Solicitor General\u2019s openirg.The latter is making the same kind of speech that he usually makes in the House, where he represents the tory portion of Liverpool Though not yet forty, Mr, Gibson bag prematurely white hair, He is also eloquent, dangerous and unscrupulous.FORMATION OF THE JURY, To obtain this jury those with names having the prefixes O and Mac had been told to stand aside, The five accused had exhausted the six challenges only accorded to all.To give an idea of how the Judge treated the challenges for bias by the five aecmsed I take the following from the official minntes : A juror samed Eager was called, and his face realized his name.He wes challenged for bias, as } being a landlord and as having an adverse opinion upon the plan of the campaign, The accused testifies that he is employed ! in the Guverrment Benk of Ireland, « As his land ie brivging à rental from tenants of $2,500 & year he is esked if his tenants are in this couuty ?This is ruled out, To the question, \u201c Is your rent pune- tually psid 7\u201d is alao 1uled out, and so is the question, \u2018 Have you formed any opinion as to the legality of the plan of campaign 1\u201d Alsa to the query, \u201c Has it injured you ?\u201d one count being conspiraey to injure the land owners; also, \u201c Do vou believe the accused guilty of euch injury ?\u201d | AN INJUSTICE, 1 eelect these because they will scrve to show the American judgez, lawyers and laymen how the fawiliar challenges for bias on questions probing the jurors favor were persistently objected to by the Crown and ruled out by the judge.It must be remerobered that procedure challenge is here what it need to be under the common law of New York before the statute came to restrict question as to a Juror\u2019s opiuion and bis vwn impartiality on the evideree to come.I give the names of twelve jurors to show how un-Irish meet these are, viz.: Abrahams, Adcock, Bailey, Bagot, Hed- dock, Jacobs, Kune, \"falbot, Young, two Jacks and one Jackman, OPINION OF A VETERAN, I had a talk in the court lobby with Manus McNulty, an aged man, who forty years 8go sat through the twenty-five days trial of O'Connell, Hs was a mere spectator though called upon as a juror, but challenged hecause a, Catholic.** This trial,\u201d said he, \u201cis bistory repeating itself.The members of Parliament in the dock now are charged with the same kind of conspiracy as O\u2019Connel was, The law now claimed tbe same as then\u2014viz., a mere corspiracy to do au illegal act, though the purpose is unaccomplished, makes the crime.On O'Connell\u2019s panel every Catholic wus excluded.Here there are three Catholics to nine Protestants, LAW LORDS PACKED, \u2018 Lord Salisbury bas even packed the law lords for this teial.The lords quasked O'Ucnnell\u2019» conviction by only & msjority of one.Of the law lords in place cf Lord Bremwell, juet retired, there Las been appcinted as taken straight away from the ranks, as Judge, Mr.Macnaghten, M.P.for North Antrim, one of ihe bitterest of ective Orange- men, 80 you see Lord Salisbury tries to pack the bench as well as the jury box.\u201d CONVICTION LIKELY, \u201cThen you think Mr.Diilon will be coovicted 7\u2019 I asked.He answered: \u2014* It is 1,000 to for it.That\u2019s why Murphy is on the Bench and the jurors who sit yonder, Wee not the Attorney General who prosecuted O'Oon- nell rewarded with ths Mastership of the R:lls and the Solicitor General with a barony of the Exch: quer, and did not both the Q.C\\.% for the C:own successively become Lord Chancellors, The present prcéecutors are doing similar dirty work to earn premotion in office ; but there is the poseibility of à dieagreement of course, \u201d A PROTEIN, - LONDON, Feb, 16.Sixty British members of the House of Commons, at a cor- ference to-day, adopted a 1esolution to call the attention of Parliament next week to the alleged packing of juries in the cases ngainst Nationalists in Ireland, INPERIAL POLITICS, Yesterday's Proceedings in the Coma- mons\u2014Harcourt asks that \u201c Proce dure >\u2019 be net made a Party Ques.om \u2014 The * Irish Lease Molder > Question KIntroduced by Parnell\u2014 The Irish Leader's Spee hi om Pro- cedere\u2014His Motion Defeated \u2014 The Address in Reply to the Queen's Speech Adopied.LoNDoN, Fub.17.\u2014In the House of Commons to-night L.L.Dillwyne, (Liberal), moved to adjourn the debate on the address in reply to the Queen\u2019s speech for the purpose of discussing irregularities in the conspiracy trial at Dublin, by§ which the interests of certain members of the House of Commons were prejudiced.The speaker declined to put the motion or to permit debate on the subject, He said that according to a previous decision a motion to adjourn could not be put on a subject, respecting which, a motion stood on the order book; aud that as Mr, Sexton had already placed a motion referring to jury packing, Mr.Dillon\u2019 motion could \u2018nog be entertained.W.H.Smith moved that the discussion of the rules of proceedure have precedence over all orders of the day, Sir Wm, Vernon Harcourt, said the opposition did not desire to place obstacles in the way of the pregress of busi- cers.He hoped the matter of procedure would not ba made a party question, The Welch disestablishment was car~ ried by 261 to 258, Mr, Parnell asked she Government to concede time to discuss his proposal for edmittivg Irish lease-holders to the benefits of the Land Act of 1881, Under Mr, Smith\u2019s motion, he eaid, it would be five weeks before any Irish question would have a chance to be heard, He therefore moved \u2018that the ruies of procedure be rot considered before the Government make known the nature of their legislation for Ireland, [Cheers] Continuing, he said he was not disposed to surrender the interests of Ireland in order to give the Government precedence for their procedure proposals, J The motion had been sprung on the Houte suddenly, in defiance of the fact that there were no precedents for such an interruption of the debate on the eddress, The affairs of Ireland were in too critiesl a condition to be thus put aside.The Westport Board of Guardians bad just received notice of intended evictions of 1,000 persone, while Lord Cork \u2018was asking for police to assist in further evictions, Was it at such a time as this that Irish-members were debarrod from bringing forward grievances, M:, Smith said he thought the proceedings of the past three week?were suffi clent to show how useless it was to go further into the Irish question.The rules of procedure were settled.Mr, Parnell\u2019s resolution was rejected by a vote of 242 againet 197, Mr, Smith announced that the Goverz- ment would begin giving rules of precedence on Monday.Mr, Dillon complained of the removal of the venu of Lia trial, and accused High Sherif Hamilton of having dismissed the sub-theriff who bad compiled the Jury panels for thirty yeara in order to appoint Captain Hamilton, who was a personal enemy of Mr.Dillon.Sir Michael Hicks-Besch interpoting said Hamilton had not been *ppolated sub-sheriff, Mr.Dillon replied that it was a matter of common knowledge that the port had been offered to Capt.Hamilton, He proceeded to refer to the jury panel when the Speaker ruled bim out of order, Mr.Dillon bowed to the chair but said he hardly expected that he would be allowed to refer to his being tried by a jury that had been delibsrately and maliciously packed by his enemies, (loud Parnellites cheers,] the speaker again interposed and suggested the puttiog of the question on the address, Artkur O'Connor moved to adjourn, the motion was rejected 261 to 119.After another attempt to continue the debate, the Speaker daid it was evidently the sense of the House that the subject had been sufficiently discussed.* Mr.Smith moved \u201cthat the question be now put.\u201d \u2018The motion was carried 289 to 874, and the address was adopted by a voie of 283 to 70 amid Conservative clieers, The Leviathan Neld at Auction.LIVERPOOL, Feb, 17,\u2014The steamship Great Eastern was sold at auction to-day for

the alcove facing the pulpit, portieres were huog firming a dressing room for the bride and her attendants, and thence down either cf the central sisles on each side stretched white eatin ribbon.The genta in front of the pu'pit had been removed to make room for the bridal party to form 4 most graceful tableau during the ceremony.The great organ and pulpit platforms were entirely concealed behind a forest of living greens.Tall palms reaching almost to the ceiling nodded above a dense growth of feathery ferns, palms, spruce pinee, rubber trece, fleecy-white ezalias, beautiful callas and tbe delicate-blooming ganesta.About the pillare which support the gallery were twined T:pes of emilax, and every part of dre?s of lightr.Lovg before 8 o°clock, the hour appointed fur tre Ceremony, guests began to arrive, avd when the organ began Lo peal out the ever familiar wedding march the body of the church was filled with people from all parts of ihe country, As the Rev.T.Ds Witt Talmsge avd his

and Mr, Frank Talmage, The bride\u2019s gown was of white corded silk en traine, with trimmings and drape~ ries of duchetsslace.The Corsage was cut in a deep point in the froat and back.The ornaments were diamonds, the gift of the bridegroom.The bouquet was lilies of the valley and orange blossoms.The maid of honor wore a short gown of pale green, decollete, aud carried a bcuquet of white rosee.The bridesmaids were attired in gowns of white tulle and satin, with garniture of ferns, each carrying a buuck of ferna and red roses in her hand.The effect was very preity.The ceremony was performed by the father of the bride, ass'sied by his brother, the Rov.Goyer Talmage.The reception which followed at the resid: ence of the bride\u2019s parents, No.1 South Oxford street, was no lees brilliant.The house, like the church, was elaborately decorated by Wier.Ia one hall stood palms and calla lillies + on ths cabinets in the lcng enloon were banks of white, red and yellow tnlips ; à canopy of smi'ax and white tulipe suspended in front of the mirror, where the young couple stood to receive the congratulations of their friends.In front of the mirror in the back parlor was an &rtiatic piece of floral decoration, consisting of palms, ferns, pink and white ezileas and crotons, amorg which the golden bloom ot the genesta shone like Jewels.@a the right of the room a ceautitul ofchid mirgled its delicate bloom amid & mass of dark green folisge.The adjoining residence of Mr.Mitchele Packard was kindly offered tor the oc- cacion, the two houses being connected by the exteneion in the rear, which was hung with Oriental rugs and Japanese bamboo hanginge sod lighted with lanterns of antique silver and colored glass.Turkish ruge covered the flsor.Oa the third floor two rooms were devoted to the display of the presents.Among the moet beautiful objects wae a butterfly fire screen the body avd standard of which were composed of old repouese silver, and the outstretched winga of translucent glass of pale blue and amber tints, studded with spots of high- colored crystals that showed like rübies and sapphires.THE NEW SMALL POX ROSP;TAL.The Chairman of the Board of Health, the Medical Health Officer, Mr, Levec que, Architect, and Mr.Didier, coatractor, made an official inspection of the new civic Small Pox Hospital yesterday.Dr.D& Roches, editor of the Journal d\u2019Hygiene, having been encountered en route, was invited to accompany the officials.The buildings are rapidly approaching the edifice was made brilliant with hun~.completion, the workmen being at present engaged in plastering the interior of the sdministration buildieg in the centre.The water closeta, biths and nrinals have been putin.The soil pipes are ail in glazed iron and every one of them is in full view, 80 that the slightest defect may be detected and repaired at ouce.No part of the building is beneath the level of the ground, and the bacement is lofty, well lighted and well ventilated, Tre wivgs, which are built on to ihe main bui'ding, are sub iivid- ed into three wards each,with a few private rooms at each end.A spscious sun gal= lery at the end of each of these winge makes a pleasant promenade and lounging place for convalescents.The kitchen is tpacous and dumb waiters carry the food for the patients to the maa flat.A ventas duct on the roof ¢xtends from one end of each wing to the other, and provid-s fres ventilaticn for tle wards, On Smerging oo to the sun gallery oa the southern en of the building, facing the besutiful valley of the St.Lawrence, extending from the city to the foot cf the Belce | moun taing, on the Richelieu, the whole party were filled with admiration at the msgnifizent panorama at their feet.For salubrity and beauty of location it is doubtful whether another small pex bospital exists on this continent so favorably situated.The chairman and rnedical health offi~ cer expressed themselves as wall satisfied with the building, and after making a few euggettiona as to minor details the part returned to the city.A farther and more complete inspection will bs made next week.\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014

the reception on Monday evening promiees to be the smccess of the season.Grand preparations bave been made by the Cote Bt, Antoine Tobogganisg Club for their At Home, which will be held this evening at the Cote St, Antoine Academy.Anu excellent orchestra to eupply the musig for dancing will be in attendance, and as a largs number of tickets have been disposed of, the At Home is already an assured eue Ces.The twenty-five m:le race between Feenk Dowd end Hugh J.McCormack, which takes place at the Crystal Rick this evening, is exciting great interest in sporte ing circles, Counting oa the closeness of the contest of Wednesday night, and the fact that Dowd has never skated sucha long distance race, manv of the sporting fraternity are backiog the St.John man to win.The race will certainly be a great one from etart to finish, and will probably attract the largest gate of the season.The fret masquerade under the old and popular manager, Mr.James Stenhouse, was held at the Jubilee Rink last evenin and proved most erjoyable and successful, } The attendance at the Jubilee last evening shows that Mr.Stenhouse has icst none of his popularity as à rick manager.The annual races of the St.Georges Bnowshoe Club will be held on the Bham- rock Lacrosse Grounds to-morrow (Saturday] sfternoon.The programme is an exceptionally good one, and the various events are sure to be well contested and interesting.At the Windsor Hotel the came preniog the annual Club dinuer will be eld.rere THE JEWISH BALL.An Enjoyable Ball Given by the Young People\u2019s Assselation in aid of the New Symagogue.The ball given last evening at the Queen's Hall Assembly Rooms, by the Yourg People\u2019s Association of the new Jewish Synagogue, wes very largely attended and proved to be a most esi yable evert.The ball, besides being the frst aviual gathering cf the Young People\u2019s Aesociation, was especially got up in order to help to clear off the debt of the new Synagogue and is the first of a series of enter- taiuments to be given for this purpose!

Messrs.R.Hirsch, J, H.Jscobs, H.Vineberg and A.Michaels who had the management of the affair, The members of the associatien desire to express their thanks to Mr.R.MacDonald, who kindly placed the

was given a job of repainting the interior of the Parliament buildings just before the elections as an election job and to afford facilities for influencing voters.One John Ernest, in & published affidavit, states that this Howe offered him employment as a painter at two dollars per day in the Parliament buildings ; that Howe {ook him into hie store and taking a small book from his pocket acked Ernest to sign his rame and swear that he would vote for the Government and his [Howe\u2019s] party.Ernest replied that he would not swear that for him or any one else, and that he would rather starve thao take such an oath.This declaration is not the only illustration of coercion being practiced here.Itison a wholesale scale.One ex-Tory candidate actually dismissed two men a few days ago because they attended Liberal meetings.Another interesting fact brought to light here is the identity of *\u2018a Tory M.P.\u201d who resently wrote a letter to the Toronto Globe, denying that Tupper would ever be accepted by the Tories as their leader, and complaining that Tupper\u2019s \u201cmoral réputation alore, not to mention many other dark spots on his private and public career, will

examination of Mr.Thos, Temple, ex-M.P., and the candidate for York, and of his son-in-law, Mr.J.S.Hilyard, ;sbows that athe latter acknowledges paying to John Woodward, a former Liberal, seventy-five dollars to tura Tory.The evidence showed that Temple asked Woodward his price and said he would send it to him.The magistrate would not ellow Mr.Temple to take the stand, but he made a statement that he did not bribe or authorize anyoae to bribs for him.Mr.Temple\u2019s friends denounce the prosecution ae a conspiracy to irjure him on the eve of election.The cose wali be tried March 15th.The \u201cconspiracy,\u201d judging from this statement, lay between Temple, Hilyard and Woodward.It seems to have been a conapiracy to violate the laws in behalf of the purity of elections.SAVED FROM THR

while since 1870 urder license, had received in bonuses on the sms $1,755,000!!! What does the Star think of this boodling business now, especially in view of the fact that Mr, Rykert, M.P,, and friends disposed of a single timber limit for 200,000, of which Mr, Rykert himself received $00,000?But the men who secured grants of timb r limits, ranche lands, coal lands and other real estate, while numerous, did not handle the largest amount of the public property.The men who went in for Government subsidies for railways in which they were personally interested, handled the largest amount of the public money.Thess men wore instrumental in placing millions of dollars of the public funds ia their own hands and the hands of theic friends with little regard to the commercial mecsssity for the railways end in the face of the act for the protection of the independence of Parliament which pre- vides that no member of Parliament shall receive & dollar of Government money, eitheras & contractor or in any other way.At least a score of members of the iate Parliament were contractors under the Government, or expected to benefit by Government expenditures for railways, including McGrERVY, Riores, Rosi.TAILLE, BURNSs, Hrozur, Caron, McCar- THY, Woop, MACKINTOSH, PAINT, PETER Warre, CHAPLEAU, BERGIN, Por, CoLer, IVEs and several Senators.Every man of them, who belonged to the Commo: 8, has been nominated for re-election.In the schemes which these men were \u201c pres moting\u201d there were several millions of Government money invested, What has the Star now to say in favor of a Parliament composed of such men as those whose names are placed in the twe lists?Does it still insist that the proper thing to do is to \u201cturn the rascals out?\u201d if so, what assistance is it lending in behalf of a pure Parliament in this emergency 7 Er A wrak defence of the Indisn fraude is being attempted by some of the organs.Well, then, why has Sir John persistently avoided appointing the commission of enquiry which he promised the House of Commons nine monthg ego that he would appoint ?It was a direct undertaking, but it was not carried out because of the disclosures Sir John knew must follow.etl TRE tide of public opinien in favor of * Mr.Blake is sweeping through the coun.DUNCAN MCMILLAN, M.P.\u2014ive applica- try likelamill-race, Catch on while you c the Province of Ontario, for 7,986 miles WHAT Is TO BE GIVEN UP?Apropos of the Fisheries dispute the Canadian Gasette says :\u2014 \u2018 The greatest imnortancs will, howeve~, attach 1» that part of tue official repl in which it was declared thut a proposal has reached der Maj-#t;\u2019s Government from the Canadian Cabinet, which, \u2018from the Jiberali- ty of its character, appes.s likely to contribute materially to the settlement of the dis p.ites ' Too wuch significance can hardiy be ultached to this sta.erneut, coming from so responsible a quarter; und 1*s importance 18 nol tv be lost s- gut of, even in fuce of au apparent contradiction which has reacaed this side from Ottawa It may bo takeu for certain that Sir James Ferguss:n would never have made such à statement had it not been fully in accordance with the facts of he case, and there is, therefore, every reasou i0 hope that we are withia mieasurabie distanos of somo settlement of this most vexatious dis- puie.\u201d o A eetilement of the Fisheries dispute on & fair ai d legitimate Lasis is to be desired, but the people of Canada will view with the gravest suspicion any so-called \u201cjiberal proposal\u201d that is made in tbe dark by the present Government.With the recollection of the Washington surrender and ths Aapsy Day effuir fresh in their minds they will feel much auxic\u2018y as to the meaning cf the term \u201c tiberal proposa'.\u201d What, or how much, does Sir John propose to give away, and oa what terms ?If Sir John has surrendered something that ia \u201cto contribute \u201c materially to the ssttlement of the di:- \u201c putes,\u201d wnatis it?We have heard of no movement in the United States that indicates the oae thing for which Cinada will allow Americaus to fish in Canadian waters, What right has Sir Joho surrendered without an equivalent ?Mr, Foster, who is now in the Maritime Provinces, should explain to his constituents whatitishe has done.They are vitally interested in the ques.iun, but he has, so far as wo know, told them nothing.Ia Sir Charles Tupper, High Commissioner, aware of is?Presumably he must have besn the means of ¢uwmaunication ; what bas he told the Nova Scotians ?We repeat that Canada is anxious for a fair settlement of this question, but\u2014aot to put too fiue à point upon it\u2014ibe people of Canada will not trust their interests to 8ir John Macdonald\u2019s hands to be bartercd away without their first knowing the conditions.They have bad experience of him and don\u2019: trust him, \u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 AX INTERESTING SWAP, A correspondent tells us that when Mr, Mackintosh was crowded ous of Oitawa and, like another duve before him, could not fied resting place fur the sole of bia political foot, he arranged with Mr Robillard to retire at the noraination for Russell in Mr, Meckintosh\u2019s favor, promising Robiilard the Cuneervative nomination in Ottawa, By this means he brought himself within reach of the axe that is to fall npon his devoted neck on Tuesday.Now Sir Hector Lapgevin, when he essayed a similar trick in Nicolet, arranged that he and no one else should be nominated, and he would Lave carried the gama cut had it pot been discovered in time and prevented.Thus it is thas Tories ever view the re- preseutation of the people.It ls a thicg to be bought and sol1, awspped and bargained between the one or two proprie- tora of the conetituency.The people have no rights that they are bound to respect, Au least they act as if they so believed, \u2018 me Way 758 BooDLARS SUPPORT OF THE GOVERNMENT 18 Firm \u2014From a correspondent\u2019s point of view, May bi months aterward 1t will bs found that he was an applicant for a timber limit Porcaps he had shures ina colonization company.Perhaps his cousin had a large contract with the Government.Perhaps his KNRE3 are the secret of his weakness.Perhaps he gets a *¢ commission\u201d on some snort of supplies to the Government.Perhapa it 1s coal lands, or ranches, Perhaps he has beea trying to sell out & section of the Liberal party to the Tories.Perhaps ho has been permitted by the uove ernment to undervalue his imports; or has becn allswed to fix the tarif to su\u2018t his own \u2018business and to the\u2019prejudice of ali his com\u201d petitors, MR, DUPONT, who attempted to speak at St.Gabriel for Mr, Desjardins, and re- caived rough treatment at the hands of the people, has gone to Beauharnois to speak for Mr.Bergeron, who is à atraight out Opposition candidate.Mr.Dupont Tegards it as a daty to help a \u201c bolter \u201d wherever he finds him, Mr.Bergeron, we are glad to know, is certain to be returned any way.ee Mr, Daurox McCARTEY sends a long letter to the Globe with the object of whitewashing Sir John\u2019s Goversment in the North-West business, Since Mr, Dalton McCarthy made his now notorious report attempting to whitewash John White and the Blind Seare business, any expression from him on political matters will need strengthening.SIR JOHN hnen\u2019t much confidence in the breed of Canadiens.He prefers to make sure with the friends of Pound.maker, Big Bear and The-Man-that-Sq aats- on his Haunches, Similarly when he can buy up a foreigner as a supporter, he passes an act to make him a Britisher : Anson Dodge to wit.THE Globe intimates that the reason for £ie John eupporting Boultbes is that the latter knows too much to permit of his being offended with impunity.\u2014_\u2014\u2014 If, as the Mail anys, a reciprocity treaty is good for Oanada, and at least equally good for the United States, why does Sir John so peatistently oppose it.\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 NOTMAN Isiprepared to take Photographs Ingaowshoelng;
