the present tariff arises, he said, from the multiplicity of rates it contains.The tariff of 1878 contained about a dozen specific rates of duty levied on liquors, sugar, tobacco, tea, coffee, coal oil, meats and dairy produce, and only four ad val- orem rates, namely, one of 25 per cent., one of 173 per cent, one of 10 per cent.and one of 5 per cent.There was, consequently, little trouble experienced in classifying goods under their proper rate of duty, and unifprmity of classification was rendered easy at all ports throughout the Dominion.Indeed, so far as the mere classification of merchandise under the tariff was concerned, a small degree of intelligence only was required to avoid mistakes.The existing tariff, on the other hand, has an immense variety of duties, Of straight ad valorem rates there are no fewer than fourteen, running up by jumps of 2% per cent., from, a minimum of 5 per cent.to a maximum of 35 per cent., and in one instance, that of liquid proprietary medicines, to 50 per cent.That is only part of the story, however, for in addition to these fourteen ad valorem rates, there are one hundred and sixteen different specific and mixed specific and ad valorem duties provided.How difficult it is to secure uniformity of classification under a tariff of this nature you can readily conceive.In the larger ports, where men of experience and technical knowledge are engaged in the work of appraisement, I have no doubt that uniformity of classification is generally well secured, but in many smaller ports, T fear there is a constant liability to wrong rating of goods, and whenever this occurs the basis of business is, of course, more or less seriously disturbed.\u201d FEWER DUTIES.* What, then, would you recommend as a remedy for this state of things?\u201d * Welll am not a revenue-tariff advocate myself, much less a free trader, since 1 have always regarded a degree of fiscal protection as essential to the development of Canadian industries, but I believe that a simplification of the tariff is quite consistent with the latter.It surely is not necessary for either revenue or protection purposes that there should be 130 different rates of duty in the tariff, and if this number were cut down by, say, one half, I am persuaded that many of the complaints which have been made from time to time against the administration of the Customs would cease, as respects classifications at any rate.\u201d \u2019 \u201cIlave you any reason to think that the under-valuation of merchandise for Customs purposes prevails to any great extent ?\u201d \u2018\u201cT am not aware of it, so far as my own line of business is concerned, but I know that an impression does exist among some importers that lower values are accepted jor duty at other ports than are taken at Montreal.This is a question, of course, quite distinet, from that of tariff rates, for whether the duties be high or low, few or many, the disturbing consequences of under-valuation, when it is successfully practised, will occur.Tt is important alike to the government and to the mercantile community, importers as well as manufacturers, that effective measures should be adopted to prevent frauds of this character, because to the one it means loss of revenue, and to the other it means unjust and hurtful competition.The Board of Dominion appraisers, 1 presume, does what it can to prevent undervaluation, and T am informed that the Department of Customs endeavors as far as possible to thwart such frauds, but I have thought for some time past that an effective check might be introduced in the shape of a staff of inspecting apraisers.You must understand that the Dominion appraisers, so called.are merely the chief appraisers at four or five of the principal ports of entry, who meet from time to time at Ottawa, to consider disputes and difficulties relating to classifications, for duty.But they know little or nothing, I am told, about the values which are ae- cepted for duty at the other ports of the country, than those of which they are employed, not having access to the invoices from which the necessary information can alone be gained.There are, it is true, Customs Inspectors in each province, with a Chief Inspector at Toronto, but the work of these officials relates prin- ecCipally to the general administration of the work of a port, the keeping of the accounts, organization of the staff and court, and not at all to classifications or values.Yet it woud seem to be not less desirable in the interest both of the revenue and of the trade of the Dominion that a staff of inspecting appraisers should be organized to visit periodically the several ports -and check values as there entered and accepted for duty, and T throw out this suggestion as one which scems to me not unworthy of serious consideration.And I may add that the expense of an adequate staff of such appraisers should not be great, but rather would it be moderate compared with the character and importance of the duties performed.\u201d INSPECTING APPRAISERS.\u201cWhat do you think of the proposal of the Montreal Board of Trade that an Independent Board of Customs experts should be appointed to consider \u2018and determine questions in dispute regarding classifications for duty and valuations ?\u201d \u201cThere is something to be said on both sides of that subject.My opinion, however, is that a simplification of the tariff would be the readiest and ffiost effective means of removing the complaints as to classification for duty.As to disputes concerning values, I would call vour attention to the fact that there already exists in the customs law a provision under which many of these disputes might be met, if it were availed of.I refer to that section of the Act which provides laws, that when an importer is dissatisfied with the appraisement made by an appraiser he may give notice of his dissatisfaction to the collector of the port, whereupon the latter selects one disinterested and experienced person familiar with the character and value of the goods in question, the importer selects a second person, and the controller of customs selects a third, and these three persons then examine and appraise the goods, and the decision of a majority of them, if they are not unanimous, is final and conclu: sive.The machinery, thus provided for appeal in cases of dissatisfaction with ap- praisements, scems to me simple, capable of being quickly set in motion, inexpensive, fairly effective, and reasonably satisfactory.It has, I am told, not been frequently availed of in\u2019 recent years, though why I cannot say, as it seems an excellent provision in the interest of importers.\u201d 1Iave you any suggestions to make respecting tariff changes?\u201cNo.I prefer to submit my views as \u2018to rates to the Ministers of the Crown when they hold their enquiry here this week, but I may say that one feature of the present tariff which seems to me open to objection is the inclusion of so many items providing for the free admission of certain articles when imported for a specific purpose, If you will examine the free list of the tariff you will find upwards of forty items of this kind.Now I need not tell you that this is simply another form of protection for certain industries, being an advantage conceded to the manufacturer in the shape of free raw material, but if the protection is to be continued it would be preferable, in my view, to extend the necessary fiscal encouragement in the shape of adequate duties for this purpose levied on the foreign manufactured article.Special provisions such as I allude to open the door to possible fraud, and create discriminations which give rise to more or less grumbling, besides, of course, shutting out general importers from all chance of business in the merchandise made free when imported by manufacturers under these conditions, \u201cI give you these points as having occurred to me in my experience of the tariff and the customs law.I believe the controller of customs, Mr.Paterson, is most anxious to conform the law and the administration and the requirements of the commercial community, and I know that correspondence with the Departmen\u2018 elicits prompt reply, and evinces a desire to accommodate importers to the utmost.\u201d .THE FARMING MINISTER.Hon.Sydney Fisher Addr esses Quelph Stock Raisers.Hon.Sydney Fisher, Minister of Agriculture, spoke under the auspices of the Dominion Cattle and Swine Breeders\u2019 .\\ - sociation at Guelph last week.Mr.Fisher was enthusiastically received.He opened his address by warning the farmers against expecting too much from him as Minister of Agriculture.It was true that for the first time a man who was himself a farmer had been chosen Minister, and In consequence the hopes of the farmers | had been greatly raised.In his capacity he would be inspired by the success which had attended his colleague, the Minister of Agriculture in Ontario.As a farmer of Quebec he had envied for years the farmers of Ontario, who had as a Minister a practical farmer and a man thoroughly interested in the business in which they were engaged.He trusted that 1t was a happy augury for him that he was the first Minister of Agriculture who had attended the meetings of the Guelph stock- raisers.It seemed to him that it was his first duty as Minister to meet the farmers, to learn their needs and to sée what they wanted done, and he*could perform this duty better among them than in any other place.Recurring to the Ontario Agricultural College, Mon.Mr.Fisher declared that it was an institution for which the whole country envied the people of Ontario, because it was such a phenomenal success.In his early days he had accept- ell the common belief that any man who owned a farm could work it successfully without special kowledge.He had the advantage of a college education, but in his youth neglected the study of those subjec's which would be of especial use to him as a farmer, but even if he had desired to study them there were at that time no facilities for doing so.Things had changed since that time; now we had not only a splendid institution here, but we had going out from here the effect and influence and scientific training of the men who had gone out from that college, which affected the agriculture of the whole Dominion.The idea that farming was drudgery was passing away, and it was now recognized that it was a business which gave scope for intellectual development, and the result was that to-day agriculture was taking ita proper position in the forefront of the industries of the country.Referring again to his pleasure in meeting the stockmen, he said they all knew that stock-raising was the only way to retain the fertility of the farm.In the feeding of stock the greatest skill was shown, the greatest study and- science exercised, and it was by the stockmen that farming could be advanced to the highest pitch.Canada was known all over the world to-day for its agriculture, and he believed that it was the stocimen whn were largely responsible for this.\u201che people of the States were forced to come Here for the best of their stock, and vou).buy.more if it were not for the customs barriers.This was a proof of our eminence in this science.Several speakers hal touched upon the raising of stock by the Queen and her lords, by men with mancy, but it was the individual effort, the hard study, and the practical experience of the man who lived by this work that they had to depend upon.dairying man himself; stock-raising and dairying were cognate and close allied; one without the other could not exist, and he had always believed that this was the height of improved agriculture.The work of raising the grain and similar products of the land was doing only the crude work, the highest skill was shown by the man who took these products and worked them into cattle and pork and even higher, if they permitted him, into dairy products.The man who sold his crude grain and roots was selling the fertility of his land, and comparatively little of his own intelligence and skill, but if, instead of doing this, he worked these products up into higher forms, he was selling the smallest amount, of fertility of the soil and the largest amount of his intelligence.He had come to Guelph on à business trip.He trusted that the Government to which he belonged was a business Government, and took the fact that Mr.Laurier had chosen him as Minister of Agriculture not as a compliment to him, but as an evidence of the Premier\u2019s appreciation of the agriculture and farming of the country.He had for some years back felt that agriculture was in a backward position, but he had authority to work out such a policy as might tend to the improvement of the industry of which he was in charge.In any work which he should undertake not only would he give his whole energy and intelligence to it.but he would have the support of his colleagues who sat at the Council board with him.Mr.Fisher.in conclusion, complimented the \u201cbeautifully situated\u201d city of Guelph.IVORY'S TRIAL POSTPONED.London, Dec.14.\u2014Counsel for Edward J.Ivory alias Edward Bell, the alleged 1rish- American dynamiter, appeared in the

He was a | ONTARIO and QUEBEC GANANOQUE.The New Methodist Church Opened Yesterday With Exercises.Gananoque, Dec.14.\u2014(Special.)\u2014Just 60 years ago the Methodists of Gananoque, then numbering only four families, built their first place of worship.Prior to that time they held religious services in their different bomes, first at one and then the other.In the year 1836 the first church was built on the site donated by the late Jobn L.McDonald, at the corner of Stone and Pine Streets, almost upon the site of the present structure.This met the needs of the congregatign until 1873, when, like the town, Methodism had grown so that more space was required.The old church, a frame one, was sold to Mr.W, F.Latimer, who moved to the site on King Street, whereon Mr.I.Stun- den\u2019s restaurant now stands, and on which it was burned in the fire of 1894.The new church that took its place was a much larger one, and was built of stone, with a basement for lecture and Sunday school room.This answered ihe purpose until the present pandsome edifice was thought of and practicable steps taken for its erection, and not before it was a real necessity.The Methodists are Ly far the largest religious body in the town, and until the new building of which we write was erected they had the smallest place of worship.But one looking back over the G60 years of which we write, old Methodists can see the Methodist body grow from not more than 25 in number, until to-day the town assessor's roll places the number of Methodists at something over 1,800.And so the growth goes on.Yesterday the new \u2018or enlarged Grace Church was dedicated under the most favorable, auspices by the Rev.J.'Talyian Pitcher, president of the Montreal Conference, assifted by Rev.Dr.Ryckman, chairman of Kingston District; Rev.Henry Gracey, pastor of St.Andrew\u2019s (I'resbyter- lan) Church, and the pastor, Rev.Dr.Jackson, and the choir of the church, the building being packed at each of the three services.The new church is of gothle style inside, and is finished in dark walls with white ceiling.The cost of re-building is In the neighborhood of $13,000.The pipe- organ is valued at $2,500.MAG)G.Town Council Doings\u2014Some Interesting Post Office Doings.Magog, Dec.14.\u2014 (Special) \u2014The Town Council met last weck.by-law, ilnpos- Ing a tax of eight mills on the dollar for

the future place for mail distribution.SUTTON.The Body of a Dead Baby Found in the eo Woods\u2014-A Burglary.Sutton, Dec.14.\u2014(Special.)\u2014The body of a dead baby was found to-day in Mr.Cur- rie\u2019s woods at Abercorn by a man who was passing through, It was taken to the hotel, where it now les awaiting the inquest.It appears to be from five to seven months old.The whole aftair Is a Iuys- tery to the Abercorn people and has created n sensation.Sutton was the operating grounds of a bit of burglary last night.Some unknown party entered Mr.Shepard\u2019s store thrdugh an old window, in the back part, and took away a few dollars\u2019 worth of butter and eggs and graham.Notice has just been received that the election for our first village Council will be held in the Town Hall here on Thursday, 24th inst.THREE RIVERS.A Suspected Case of Leprosy\u2014An Accl- dent to a Performer.Three Rivers, Que., Dec.14.\u2014{Special.)\u2014 No little commotion was caused in town when it was learned that à suspected case of leprosy had been discovered.It appears that a certain Celestial has been ailing tor some time back, and yesterday a physician did not know exactly what to think of it.So he studied the case and he fears that it was a case of leprosy.He called in a confrere, and, after a couple of visits and looking up authorities, they could not but think it was a case of that disease, so they netfied (one of them is the city medical officer) Mayor Cook, who caused the laundry to be isolated by placing a police officer at the door and preventing ingress and egress from the suspected house.Communication was had with the I'ro- vircial Board of Health, and the civie authorities are waiting to see if this case wil.be definitely declared to be a case of that fell disease, leprosy.A troop of Japanese performed at the City Hall Thursday evening to fairly well- filled houses.Friday evening one of the performing Japs, à lad of some six years of age, somehow or other missed in one of his feats and fell quite a distance, njuring his leg and arm.There should be a law enacted preventing such young boys and girls acting such perilous feats.Besides, this contretemps, it was pitiful Thursday afternoon to see those Japanese performrs being driven around town in open sleighs, bareheaded and evidently sutfering form the cold.SOME SOREL ITEMS, Sorel, Que.,

and the foreigner pays the duty if he chooses to ship his goods across the customs barrier.Now it seems that this is admitted to be a mistake\u2014some of us may claim never to have allowed it to be anything clse\u2014 but it is now admitted by protectionist manufacturers themselves; not by one or two, but by nearly all who have appeared before the Ministers.What other meaning is there in the statements made with such unanimity that their raw materials are increased in price by the duties imposed upon them?Manufacturer aftyr manufacturer has said to.the Ministers als reduced; our protection on our finished product is reducea or (as in some complaints) wiped out altogether.\u201d They perhaps, then proceeded to an assurance that duties do not raise prices.The fact is, and it should be frankly stated, because this whole question is, in all conscience, confused enough because ot the disingenuousness of the protected interests\u2014the fact is, that it is possible that in some particular lines of industry, lines which requires but little capital to engage in them, or which for some other reason are in many hands, rendering combination impossible, and competition is therefore maintained, a protective duty may, for certain periods at least, not operate to raise prices.But this is the best that can be said.The very object of the pro tectionist is to absolve the domestic industry from the tides of outside competition.And you cannot do that without taking from the domestic consimer a part of his advantge in the world\u2019s commerce\u2014 the world\u2019s competition.The manufacturers admit that duties on their raw materials raise their price.They will not surely contend that the operation of the tariff is different as to raw materials compared with other products and goods.What else have they to fall back upon, having surrendered the contention that prices are not raised?© Ii they will candidly admit what the consumers are well convinced of, namely, that our tariff-sustained industries are being supported at the expense of the consumer the ground will be clearer for manufacturer and consumer to come to an understanding.The least that.the beneficiaries of the tariff can do is to admit frankly their indebtedness to the public credulity, generosity, patriotism or whatever you may call it.If they do this it will hasten the putting of the tariff question upon a basis as nearly business-like as is possible.The present Government is pledged to do no injustice to any industry.It is expected to carry out that pledge and also its equally important pledge to ligkten the burdens of the consumers.The effect of the manufacturers admissions has been to justify beyond questioning this latter pledge and policy.een CUBA.The rumor of the death of Maceo, the Cuban insurgent leader now seems to have had abundant confirmation.At first it had a suspicious likeness to scores of former rumors as to the gutting off of this intrepid man.But even if the story be true, the immediate suppression of the insurrection will not follow, as a matter of course.Maceo, though he has loomed large in the eyes of the outside world, has been in reality only second in command of the insurgent forces.His senior, Gomez, who tas been moving to join Maceo, is now within easy reach of the latter\u2019s forces.Should Maceo have been killed it wou'd be easy for Gomez to take command of the combined forces, as he probably would have done within a few weeks in any case.It is rumored moreover, that Macey\u2019s the immensely valuable commerce of Cuba will ever be so handled as to secure the greatest profit to the Cubans themselves, and to the world at large.Senator Milis is about to submit to the United Stats Congress a joint resolution of the two Houses to the effect that the United States take possesion of Cuba in such it until the Cuban people shall have established an independent Government.Thereupon some one raikes the question as ts the ability of the Cubans to govein themselves.To this the New York Sun says that the Spanish have certainly showa their inability to govern Cuba, and that the Cubans are probably better fitted to govern Spain than the Spaniards wot! ever be to govern Cuba, The fact is that neither Cubans nor Spaniards offer ev: dence of ability to administet the affairs of Cuba in such a maner as to give the island its true value in the scale of the worlds commerce and influence.\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014t NOTES AND COMMENTS.Good morn\u2014evening! And no word of welcome from the Star or Witness into the evening field ?As we remarked yesterday, you haven\u2019t all the news until you have The Herald.Yesterday The Herald went into thousands of homes where a morning paper is never taken.If competition be really the life of trade our Sympathies are with our across-the- street contemporary.\u2014_ Of the seats capturefl by the Conservatives on the 23rd of June, North Ontario is the second to be vacated by the courts.There has been no unseating of Liberal members.The Gazette is too flattering when it says: \u201cThe gentlemen who have lately had control of The Hérald have shown that they know how to make an attractive newspaper.\u201d The Gazette approves of us.It doesn\u2019t agree with our convictions regarding the morning field, but we believe is in harmony with us as to the advantageousness of the change.It is reported that dandelions were in bloom in Toronto on Monday last.The dandelion thdt could have succeeded in blooming in Montreal on Monday could have established a claim to be known as a hardy perennial of the hardiest kind.Said a Hamilton man yesterday, in commenting on The Herald\u2019s action: \u201c When the Hamilton Spectator abandoned the \u201cWe want the duties on our raw materi- | morning field, after being in it for forty or fifty years, a howl went up so loud that you would have im-~qined every man in the city was a subscr.ber to the morning edition.As a matter of fact, its circulation was very small.\u2018And it was never as strong or as prosperous as it is to-day, with an evening edition only.\u201d Most gratifying was the reception yesterday tendered the evening edition of The Herald\u2014far more so, in fact, than could reasonably have been expected.The business men, while dfsappointed at being deprived of their favorite morning paper, very generally, agree as to the wisdom of the change, and many of the leading advertisers have frankly said that they now expect far better results from advertising in The Herald than in the past.Whether or not Maceo was butchered under a flag of truce, the story has done its work.Tt has inflamed the minds of the people of the United States to such an extent that not even an authoritative contradiction would deprive Cuban insurgents of the warm sympathy which they now enjoy.The United States Government will find it increasingly difficult to prevent the embarkation of filibustering expeditions from American shores, and unless the Spaniards succeed in quelling the insurrection at an early date, the intervention of the United States, in some form, must shortly follow.At the preferential trade conference in London on \u2018 Thursday, Lord Masham paid a tribute to Sir Charles Tup- per, recently Canadian High Commissioner in London, who, he said, was the orig- nator of the idea of preferential trade with the colonies.Lord Masham is a member of a big firm of silk manufae- turers in Bradford.He probably does not krow, therefore, that, according to Sir Charles Tupper\u2019s scheme of preferential trade, the advantages to be accorded the British manufacturer in the Canadian market are purely imaginary.The Gazette says that an open discus sion of the Liberal policy would spoil the Liberal plan of telling ne story about the Manitoba school settlement in districts in Cornwall, where Catholics are numerous, and another in places where Protestants form public opinion.This may be \u201csmart\u201d and, therefore, may serve the object of the average Gazette paragraph, but it is not truthful.As to the settlement of the School Question the Liberals are not telling two stories in Cornwall or anywhere else.The settlement is in black and white.It speaks for itself, and it tells only one story.If three barrels of apples that they were selling for five cents a barrel less than the expected price.He was a sailor, and he stood on the crowded strect.He was alone, with the awful solitude of a vast, strange city.Ile had just come off a long and wearisome voyage, and his weather-beaten face yet bore the marks of privation and hardship.Around him were wealth, beauty, happiness; but in these he had no part.people flitted past, but there were none to give him hand-clasp or welcome.A well-dressed blood brushed against him and called him somewhat: a policeman hustled him along: a lady clad in the silks and shimmering stuffs he and his ilk had risked life and limb to bring from far, far lands, cast a contemptuous glance his way, gathered up her skirts and took the other side of the walk.But there were $200 in his pocket.He was money, and money alone, was the cause of his utter desolation.It was this that forbade the true man to give him a hand; it was this that made the true woman gsther up her skirts and burry - pest.He curses it.He looks at the and there is But in the bright, happy faces around, a wistful longing in his gaze.world\u2019s happiness he has no part! A sigh wells from the great louellness of his Heart.He draws his hand across his brow, as if to shut out the sight, and turns him in the glittering saloon over the way.There, at least, would he find welcome, so long as he had money.He takes a last, lingering look, at the beautiful around; he curses his fate; and then he wends his way to forgetfulness.He takes a glass, another, and yet another, and the man behind the bar plies him till the bright world goes out, and all Is darkness.It is just 24 hours, and Jack stands again \u2018on the streets.He rubs his eyes to make sure he is awake.¢ He feels his pockets.There is nothing in them, What has happened?He only knows that he woke in a cell.a few hours ago; was brought to court, charged with drunkenness and being picked up on the street in an insensible condi- tien; $10 or 20 days in jail.He fceis his pocket and discovers one lone $10 bill.He hands it over and walks out.friendless as ever, amg without a cent in hs pocket.Once again the hopes of better things cherished throughout the long voyage have been ship-wrecked.He smiles at the irony of fate and at his own 1iser- able folly, and in four words gives vent to Lis feelings, \u201cWell, I be d\u2014\u2014\u201d to the water-front.TO CHECK WEALTH'S INFLUENCE (The Outlook.) Senator Hoar, in a speech delivered last week, in Boston, told some plain, hemely truths in a plain, homely manner.We hope that the men to whom he spoke and a wider circle than he reached either at that meeting or by the Boston pres, will hear and heed his message.We quote: \u201cIt is Nat strange that the people of the new States who sez colossal fortunes acquired by forbidden ways, by the fraudulent management of great railroads, oy the perversions of corporate powers bhe.- stowed by Government for public u:e and for public ends, or by gambling in stocks, or in the necessaries of life, should strive to imitate the example on a smaller scale.It is not strange that a Kansas or Nebraska farmer, who reads the railroad h s- tery of the section of the country to which he belongs, should lend a ready eat and become a docile d'sciple 10 a plan by which he can use tl: powers of the Government for his own advantage, by getting rid of the burden of debt.It is not strange that the example of gambling by tampering with the currency, or in the stock market, or wheat market should stir up the youth of the Northwest to attempt a little manipulation of the currency for their own benefit.\u201d The evils which Senator Hoar thus summarizes cannot be cured by crude legista- tion forbidding the accumulation of wealth, or limiting the amount; nor by unjust class legislation aimed at rich men because théy are rich, and conceived and framed in the spirit of jealousy; nor by legislation preventing the organization of capital and depriving the community ot the benefits which organization confers-~ legislation based, as truly as the analogous legislation against the organization of labor in inherent distrust of man, wh'le democracy is based on mutual trust and good will, never on mutual jealousy, suspicion, and distrust.But we can provide systems of taxation that will be adjusted according to the pecuniary interests protected by the Government, and therefore will collect much of the xich and little of the poor; we can make gambling in corn, wheat, cotton, and stocks a criminal offence, as we have made gambling with cards; we can put a stop to watering stocks and compel every corporation to represent its true value, not an artificial and ticti- tious one, by its stocks and bonds; we can require corporations to publish aceur- ate statements, and subject their affairs to public examiners, as we now subject the affairs of banks; in short, we can bring capital under law and make it obedient to law.And we can thus, more etffectual- ly than in any other way, though concurrently with wise public education, prove tc the community that capital is not and capitalists are not the enemy of the community, and that it does not follow that because the rich are growing richer the poor are growing poorer.'l'hese are some of the things we can do.Meanwhile it is matter of congratulation that such a man as Senator Hoar is telling such men as listened to him in Boston the other dar that the Democratic vote at the last eler- tion interpreted a public grievance which men of intelligence and wealth must recognize and cure by wise and honest methods, or revolutionary methods ill ba resorted to in the hope of cure.\u201d Senator Hoar\u2019s voice, we are glad to add, is not the only one to raise this note of warning.We find in the same week similar warn- hurst, in a reported interview in Washington by President Cleveland; and in in celebation of the defeat of free silver, from so well-known an advocate of gold monometallism as the Secretary of the Interior, who says: \u201cIf some legislation is not enacted to check the growing influence of wealth and circumscribe the powers of the trusts and monopolies, there will be an uprising of the people before the century closes which will endanger our institutions.\u201d the Conservative candidate Leitch had ! as fair a record as his Liberal opponents in this regard his present campaign might\u2014we say \u201cmight\u201d\u2014have shown brighter prospects of success.Provincial politics he has shrieked against Popish aggression.In Dominion politics he holds up both hands for it.He is therefore apt to alienate the support ot two- classes of voters whom he might have forces have already turned the flank of | otherwise attracted to his standard.But in! Hetty Green Silenced Them.lt isn't everyone that has the nerve to | resent a political discussion in a street car, but Mrs.Hetty Green, New York\u2019s richest woman, has, and this is how she went about it the other day.\u201cGentlemen,\u201d she observed, \u201care vou aware that the election iis over ?There is time for all things, : politics included.T wish you would stop i talking politics

way - Ti.Rendell and David G.Thompson.À communication was read from the Minister of Finance in regard to the tayilf enquiry which opens in the city to-morrow.He expressed the opinion that it was very desirable both for the economy of time and to avoid needless repetition that the va vious branches of trade should select re: presentatives, and when this is impossible or inconvenient the commissioners would | have to hear individual citizens, so far as \u2018reasonable time would permit.Also that .business would be much facilitated if those who are to appear would put their views as briefly as possible from memoranda, the ; reading of such to be followed by such : questions as the Ministers might wish to ,wsk.This had been found to be the most | entisfactory at other places.The com- ! taunication added that the meeting would | be open to the press.( The secretary reported that 30 applica- ; tions were in which were not provided for.Under the circumstances the council or i dered him to inform the Ministers of this fact and request them to extend their stay in the city for two or three days longer.\u201c The Port Warden Board of Examiners reported on the complaint of a local dealer in sugar and molasses i! respect to non.representation on a survey.The board erdorsed the Port Warden's action a being in accordance with the act governing that office.The council after considering the matter and examining the act since last meeting agreed with the examiners report, finding that the act does not contemplate arbitration, but places the deci- ;sion in all matters connected with the office in the Port Wurden\u2019s hands, with authority when he thinks necessary to.employ one or two experts to assist him in arriving at a conclusion.; The council, however, was inclined to \u2018think that importers should have some representation on the survey, and appointed uo committee consisting of Messrs.Miles, Chaput and Rendell to consider the advisability of amending the act in that direction.Mr.Miles had prepared a statement which assisted the council greatly in regard to this matter.Tt gave a digest of that portion of the act concerning the matter under consideration, and suggested , the need for its amendment in the inter- \u201cests of importers.; A letter was received from the chairman of the British Columbia Board of Trade, in which he acknowledged the receipt of the council\u2019s suggestions as to the need for amendments te the mining legislation of that Province, which suggestions were made in response to a request from that committee.The chairman asked the council to accept his thanks for the valuable points it had given to his committee, and promised careful consideration.THE ANCIENT CAPITAL.Archbishop Begin Returning \u2014 Dismis sal of Deputy Post master Laberge Other Notes.Quebec, Dec.15.\u2014(Special.)\u2014Dr.Dionne, Provincial Librarian, whose trip to Furope has provoked several questions from the left side of the Legislature, has just returned to his office.4 A despatch received at the Cardinal's Palace, announces that Archbishop Begin has arrived at New York.His Grace will spend to-day with Mgr.Fabre in Montreal, and will reach here to-mor- row.Mr.Edmond, son of Sir H.G.Joly De Lotbiniere, has, just received a bronze medal from the Canadian Humane Association, for having saved, in September lust, a sailor named Laganiere, from a watery grave.Another great Liberal meeting, to continue the rallying work begun at Tara Hall last week, for the Provincial campaign, will shortly be held in Quebec East, at Jacques Cartier Hall.At its recent annual meeting, the Union) Club showed a revenue of nearly $19,000, for this years Messrs.A.H.Cook, Cyr.Duquet, and W.C.Languedoc, Q.C., have been elected Governors for the ensuing year, Yesterday, Mr.P.Laberge, Deputy Postmaster here, received his official papers, dismissing him for misconduct.During the last electoral campaign, Laberge bad allowed a number of unpaid Conservative newspapers to pass through the post-office.He was also implicated in the P.O.inquiry recently held here on the complaint of Mr.Ernest Pacaud.The Provincial Government has succeeded in forcing Mr.C.F.Langlois, Queen\u2019s Printer, to resign his position on behalf of Messrs.Leger, Brousseau, ex-proprietor of Le Courrier du Canada, and Charles l\u2019ageau, who have been appointed at salaries of $1,400 each.The Hon.Dr.Borden, Minister of Militia, arrived here on Sunday.Yesterday afternoon, after having visited the Citadel, he had a long interview with His Worship the Mayor of Quebec, about the removing of St.John\u2019s Gate.and making new openings in the belt wall.The honorable gentleman also received a delegation of unemployed men to whom he promised all the help he could in order that the city shall soon commence the premeditated work on the walls.GRAND TRUNK, Recent Revenue Statement Compares Very Favorably.The revenue statement of the Grand Trunk Railway Company of Canada for the month of October compares very favorably with those of previous months.The increase in gross receipts on the combined system amounted to as much as £31,828, while the increase in expenditure was only £3,329, the increase in net profit thus reaching £28,499.That the Company has thus been able to work so cheaply may be ascribed to the new manager.For the four months to the end of October gross teceipts have increased £74,181, expenses have increased £23448, and net earnings have increased £50,333.Tor the year 1895 the Company\u2019s earnings fell short of fixed STATISTICAL POSITION.R:quirements Estimated to le Greater Than the Surplus.A Balauce of Thirty Million Rushe!s Estimnted by n Leading English Authority, There appears to be a lull in the speculative wheat markets, which, taken in connection with the decline in the price alroad, a lack of demand for export as well as a falling off in the demand from mills, seems to indicate that the bulls are somewhat less confident than they were some time ago.As predicted, the price of spot wheat has touched and passed the dollar mark and it is only fair to add that the strength of the statistical position of the cereal is such that \u201c dollar wheat\u201d is far from being an unduly high price.Bradstreets\u2019 last week showed a net falling off fn the available stocks during November of 618,000 bushels, on both coasts, whereas the usual November crop movement results in a net increase of 10,- 000,000 bushels and more.Records of the movement of wheat make it plain that white net gains weekly in available supplies did not appear this year until the end of August, which was quite as late as a year ago, they began at the close of July 1894.Those who think the statis tical position of wheat is not very strong one have relied for their argument on the enormous shipments of wheat to Europe since the first of the season, Europe apparently overlooking the extremely reduced stocks of wheat afloat for and in Europe on the date last named as compared with like dates in preceeding years.The crucial test of the statistical position of wheat must, of course, depend on the relation of the needs of importing countries between Au: gust 1, 1896 and July 31, 1897.to the probable available surpluses held elsewhere.One of the most conservative authorities on this subject is Beerhohm who estimates these totals as follows: Surplus wheat available for export, August 1, 1896, to July 31, 1897 United States and Canada.108,000,000 Russia.cove +.120,000,000 Roumania, Bulgaria, Turkey,

bushels.360,000,000 This shows a balance of only 30,000,000 bushels, but the balance appears upon the wrong side.The English authority allows an American surplus for Europe of only 100,000,000 bushels, which unless extreme hull estimates of the crop are found to be true, is likely to prove small, and may go far toward equalizing the total estimated export surpluses and requirements.Russia\u2019s probable export seems high at 120.000,000 bushels, as the crop there is undoubtedly smaller than last vear.The requirements of France, however, have been estimated conservatively at only 12.- 000,000 bushels, particularly in view of the prospect for a poor crop there.If by stretching a point on the part of the United States and minimizing European requirements

stimulus of a marked advance in auota- tions.THE SCOTCH IN AMERICA.(Harper's Weekly.) Dr.John Watson (alias Ian McLaren), who seems to be making himself very agreeable to the Americans, is quoted as expressing his surprise at \u201cthe keen and wide-spread interest that appears to be felt everywhere in this country in the people of Scotland\u2014in their literature, their habits and circumstances, and their character.\u201d He is at a loss to account for it, and does mot find a sufficient reason ir the writings of Scotch authors.He has noticed the same interest in the Scotch he says, everywhere he has gone in Europe, and especially in France, and he suspects that Scots, though tew in numbers, must have certain marked peculiarities and characteristics which appeal to other peoples.There is no doubt that a strong interest is felt in this country in the Scotch.Two powerful reasons for it appear in the writings of Walter Scott and Robert Burns, which, especially the Waverley Novels, are extraordinarily familiar to Americans of all grades and degrees.There are not enough Scotch to excite jealousy anywhere, and it is the truth that those we have include a remarkably large percentage of valuable people.\u201cCanny,\u201d \u201cdouce,\u201d charges by £150,000.For the first half of 1895 the net results were some £26,000 better than for the corresponding half of 1895, igs uttered in New York by Dr.Park- | Kansas City by a letter read at a banquet and in the four months to the end of October there has been a further improvement of about £50,000.In all, therefore, the Company is some £76,000 better off than last year.For fixed charges in the present year to be earned in full a further increase in net profit of about £74,000 is, however, necessary.In November the expansion in earnings has been very small, and it looks as though the Company for 1896 will be at least £50,000 short of earning the fixed charges on its combined system.This is a vastly better position than for 1895, when the deficiency was £150,000, or 1894, when it was £141,000.In 1893, when the Chicago Exhibition helped to swell, its earnings, it had a profit of £137,000.We trust that the improvement in gross and net earnings will continue, otherwise the Company would be in a most serious position.\u2014London Statist.The story of \u201cEnoch Arden,\u201d as it stands in the poem, is, in every detail, a true one.lt was related to Lord Tennyson by the late Mr.Woolner, the weli- known seulptor, whose widow has the manuscript of the story, .\u201chard-headed,\u201d are the descriptive adjectives which most familiarly qualify Scotchmen.They are interesting.They have thrift, and are as competent to take care of themselves as any people on earth.They have piety, which is highly respected, albeit it sometimes runs into bigotry.They have lively intellectual interests, too, and even the avarice with which they are sometimes credited has never led them to a HEATRE :: FRANCAIS W., E.Phillips, Lessee & Manager.THIS WEEK, Grand Production of THE SILVER KING, The best performance ever seon in this theatre.In scenery, cast and mounting uncqualled.TREMENDOUS SUCCESS OF EDISON'S PHANTASGOPE !

they love Scot- lend, love poetry, and prize friendship and filial affection.They are not English enough to be entangled as Americans by over-much sympathy with Great Britain, and the differences between their mather country and England have been so far healed and forgotten as not to be a source of disturbance or uneasiness to their fel- low-patriots here.The more Dr.Watson finds out about the people of Scotch descent in the United States, the better pleased he will be with the position they have made for themselves, They are a highly reputable lot of people, as to whom all the creditable stories that are told ax- cite no surprise, and most of the less creditable are doubted and forgotten.FRENCH PRESS.La Patrie wonders how it is that Mr.Leitch, who was Conservative candidate in.Cornwall, Stormont, in 1890, and who, during that campaign violently denounced Monsignor Cleary, can to-day, champion the Catholic schools and the Bishops, \u2014 L\u2019Electeur says : \u201c Though the Conservatives have been ordered to criticize the settlement of the School Question, they must admit that the new state of affairs is surely worth the old one.Under the Conservative regime the Catholies were obliged to contribute to the support of schools in which they had no teachers of their faith.To-day, whenever there ara ten or twelve Catholics they are entitled to a Catholic teacher, which is paid by the State.How is it then, that they, who are now denouncing the new state of affairs as a betrayal, an heresy, etc, did not make the same noise during the six years of Conservative Administration when exclusively Protestant schools were maintained.\u201d \u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 r\u2014\u2014\u2014 At a public meeting of citizens, held under the presidency of the Lord Mayor at Belfast, it was decided to erect a statue of the Queen in commemoration of Her Ma- Jesty\u2019s reign.The cost of the st i be $25,000, \u20ac statue will FOR sale the above well-known John Streets- This ig one of t great business centre of the city, anks and other institutions.requiring suitable the possible re-buil The Barron Block Property.We, the undersigned, have been authorized by T.P property, situated on th : Fe most valuable and.corner of St.being in close proximity to the leading hotels \u2019 And, at the same time, we are pre ared t rertur remises Jor Banking, Insuran o and sohovertures from parties ing by the present owner of ;

if they were as careless or as inefficient I wouldn't keep them.\u201d If he had to train the next ones in all the departments of their work, maybe he wouldn't be quite so ready to let the travellers go.It has been observed by many that the house-keeper for a bachelor or a widower, {s very often the house-keepcr who has hep own crooked way about supplies.In some instances, she undertakes to regulate his cutgoing and incoming, and, if he Is not entirely unacquainted with the lions in the way of dismissal and a new installation, he puts up with it, Ingloriously submits, and deprecates himself to himself, ther excuses himself by saying: \u201cThey're nll alike.\u201d Well, of course, they're net, There are honest women-workers, as well as honest men-workers, hut they don't apply for positions ten deep.In farm-work it is just the same.The \u201cLiired-man,\u201d who stayed six and seven and ten years with the same master years ago, is shifting from\u2019 one place to another to-day, and the sons of the farm.laborer, like the sons of the farmer himself, are flocking to the cities.ters of the laborer, too, go into service in tLe citles or into factories or work-shops, Lut the farm-house kitchen sees the coming and golng of no more unsettled and un- sotisfactory a lot of helpers than the cow house and barn-yavd.The average servant requires more trair- ing and teaching now than, perhaps, at any time; and the average mistress either nas less, or takes less, time, to do it.There are competent servants, of course, but they cemmand better wages than equally com: petent ones did ycars ago (und that is a gcod thing; no sane person ought to complain of Letter wages.) There are tompet- ent mistresses, too, and it is such a pity that the growling men haven't married them or had them for their mothers.It is not reasonable to treat the woman.worker in the kitehen as a machine, and at the same time to demand of her intel- leetual qualities that machines never possess.It is futile to expect patience from a servant who daily sees her mistress 1m- patient.\u201cLike master, like man,\u201d ls sauce for the feminine portion of the community as well.An inconsiderate woman of the slave-driving type, expects too much if she belleves her, servants will greatly exceed their routine work to oblige her.Ii is a great puzzle to guess wcman who does not understand housekeeping thought she would do wben it came up to \u2018her and waited to be attended to.Suppose she can have two, three or more trained servants, well, she is not so badly off.But the little woman who marries a man on a one-servant {ncome, or less, what in the name of eating and drink- fing and sweeping and dusttng did she In- teud to do?It Is most exasperating to be the ignorant mistress of an ignorant maid, and humiliating if the maid happens to be a scornfully-inclined, half-efficient one, There is only one way out of the difficulty.The house-keepers must learn to keep the house in all its details, if only that they may teach others to do it for them, what a City children have their pleasures in winter, but a little girl in a farm has some, too.The women of a farm too often lead shut-in lives in winter, but girlhood, with short skirts and hands empty of care, has a great out-door waiting for her to come and be happy in.The snow is piled high against the fences, the horses flounder in it, and it flies in a curling mist above the low bob-sleighs, os they slide and bump over the lane to the lower barn.The men are going down to feed the siieep, and the little girl goes, too.The sky is keen blue.he gray barn, the lower barn, left stand- Ing just for the sheep to winter in, is biack against the lifeless trecg of the \u201chardwood bush.\u201d The sheep are standing by the ricrs.They nose about for the fodder as it is thrown.down to them.Some young Iombs call plaintively to their feeding mothers.One ewe, proud beyond measure of her young lamb, will not leave it to eat.She stands apart in the sheep-yard, fondling the little thing, and cries out when it totters ôn its weak legs, which look to be ali knee-joints.Sheep-washing day is red- lettered in the little girl\u2019s calendar.Sheep- shearing day is a mystery and a delight.The day when roast mutton is Despoken for the Kitchen, the little girl takes a holiday from the barn and avoids it for days after.They each have their own memor- les.but for pure joy, uunalloyed by pity\u2014 the winter drive to sce the patient creatures feed is perhaps the best, and 20 , The daugh- \u2014 MOODY Special Service But a Few Men Went, RUSSELL SAGE WAS ONE.Evangelist Specially Severe on Rich Men.Says There's Too Much Trying to Get Into Heaven by the Back Door.New York, Dec.15.\u2014Evangelist Moody mr FOLKLORE NIGHT Dr.Drummond * Reads Unpublished Poems, DR.JOHNSTON PRESENT.Told Storles of His Interesting Life in Africa, ° Caterpillars a Favorite Diet, and the Doctor Had to Eat Them.stepped to the front of the platform in Carnegie Hall yesterday afternoon, looked quizzically around the house, and said: \u201cWell, I notice that a few men have got in But I thought it was thoroughly understood that this service was for women.I am glad to see so many Women here.I am sorry that there was not room for more of them.\u201d The hall was crowded from platform to roof with women.They waited around the doors for an hour before they were opened and jostled for position with an aggressiveness suggestive of a Pade rewski concert.Men were stopped at the doors; the few that Mr.Moody noticed in the hall were in the box tiers.| They were admitted through the stage entrance.Russell Sage was among them.Mrs.Sage, was with him, carrying a brand-new Moody and Sankey hymnbook.Mr.Sage kept his seat during the service.Mrs.Sage sang the* different bymns and stood up for the benediction, Mr.Moody did not know that Russell Sage was present until the service was over.Nevertheless, he preached a sermon directly at rich men and Christian cowards.te lauded the rich man who was not ashamed to stand up for Christ when le was on trial bdfore Pilate, and protested against the Saviour's journey to the cross.\u201cThe people tried to dissuade him,\u201d said Mr.Moody.was on the losing side and that he would be ostracized from his church if he stood up for this pretended son of God.\u201d | \u201c \u201cBe on the popular side,\u201d they said, \u2018This man is doomed.What have you to gain by advocating his cause?\u201c¢1 don\u2019t care,\u2019 said the rich man.\u2018Tt is an outrage to condemn a man like that to death.He has done nothing but good.\u2019 \u201cWould that we had such rich to-day! There is too much trying to get into Ileaven through the back door.The Christian religion is the only religion in the world that its followers are ashamed of.à knew a minister in London who sent out circulars informing the people that if they wished to join his church it could be arranged i privately and nobody should know any- \u2018thing about it.Out upon such Chris- ; tians!

that direction.\u201cSome of you have ungodly husbands \u2014scoffers, unbelievers.Do not give up your family prayers on that account.Insist on having them.We are a pack of cowards, the whole lot of us.I once opened a dance hall in Chicago.The proprietor sent out invitations wholesale, and I got one of them.I went.\u201c\u201c\u201c But you are not going to pray or preach, are you?said the man when he saw me.\u201c41 don\u2019t know,\u2019 I said, \u2018what I may do.\u2019 \u201c\u2018PBut we don\u2019t want you.We can\u2019t let you in.\u201d \u201c \u201cBut you invited me, didn't you?Surely, you're not going back on your invitation\u201d Well, the pdor fellow was so frightened, that I compromised with him and promised not to attend the opening performance if he and the few people gathered about him would kneel down and pray with me.That was the only saloon I ever assisted in opening.\u201cNow, T want a good collection.All that we take in more than the expenses of hiring the hall will be devoted to men in prisons.I am going to speak at Sing Sing Prison on Wednesday.\u201d Mr.Sage was looking the other way when the collection basket went by, but Mrs.Sage dropped a bill into it.Then she stood up and sang a hymn that Mr.Sankey had arranged.After the service some people who knew Mr.Sage stepped forward to shake hands with him.He .said that he had enjoyed it very much.A

service of the cathedral, which was preserved in a vault escaped injury, but some of the valuable vestments and ornaments were not so fortunate.Among them were the precious and jealously guarded chasubles, ete, presented to the basilica by Louis X1V., of France, over 200 years ago.They were seriously damaged, especially the silver and gold embroidery, for they were soaked in water and smeared with smoke.The smoke also filled the whole interior of the church and caused some damage to it.As it is, the damages are estimated at some $15,000.\u201cThey told him that he | men | The members of the Folk Lore Society assembled in the drawing room of Mrs.Wallace Stroud\u2019s residence, 117 Mackay ' portance.Street, last evening, when a very delizht- ful and enjoyable time was spent.President Penhallow presided, and after calling the meeting to order the minutes of the Drummond himself, of a number of his unpublished poems, in the French-Canadian dialect.livery distinctive trait and characteristic of this people was shown to perfection by Dr.Drummond, and splendidly \u2018rendered.The first poem was descriptive | of two habitants who went to hear Madame Albani at her recent concert here, and was most amusing.Then followed a French-Canadian legend; Ole Tam of Bord a Plouffe; song of a habitant farmer; Na- peleon Dore, the young raftsman; Pelan- gue, and \u201cNapoleon,\u201d all of which were listened to with rapt attention and delight, Dr.Penhallow moved a hearty vote of thanks to Dr.Drummond for his very interesting and ably delivered poems.He then introduced Dr.Johnston, the African explorer, who is just now favoring Montreal with a visit.Dr.Johnston expressed the great pleasure he had had in listening to Dr.Drummond, and affirmed that his mind was so taken up with the French- Canadian habitant that he had not a single other idea left.\u2018\u201cThe nearest approach to anything of the kind that I have heard | before,\u201d said Dr.Johnston, \u201cwas in the Highlanads of Scotlanad, where the poetry nd emotions of the natives are very simi- ar?Dr.Johnston has had 22 years of prac tice, as a physician, among the blacks of Africa.There every act of the natives i9 ruled by some superstition.When a man dics all his belongings are buried with him, and not far distant from the grave « sitting placa for his ghost to rest upon whenever he feels so inclined, is placed.\u201c1 have often sat on these seals, myself,\u201d said the doctor, \u201cbut to the intense horror and alarm of the natives whe implore you to go away.\u201d A sensation was caused when Dr, Johnston toll of caterpillars forming a part of the native diet, indeed being a favorite dish.\u201cI triad to dispense with this part of our diet,\u201d said the doctor, \u201cbut at times there was nothing else to be had.On one occasion 1 had 100 men with me, and 4 bushels of caterpillars were collected and made into a s{ew for a meal.\u201d Meat and game are scarce, and salt limit ed.The blacks declare that caterpillars, who live only on leaves, must, therefore, be clean and fit for food.\u201cI tasted the dish,\u201d said the doctor, \u201cbut found it very disagreeable, as the hairs would not cook, and stuck to one\u2019s teeth.I should call it a most indigestible dish and likely to cause bad dreams.\u201d Two witch doctors must always accompany the natives when they journey, who are called upon to make it rain or not as desirable.If they fail to accomplish what is asked they pay the penalty by receiving a sound hammering at the hands of the natives.Surgery cannot be practiced in Africa, the blacks being too superstitious to allow any limbs to be amputated.Were a hand cut off, for instance, their belief would be that when that person died and assumed the form of some animal it would have only 3 legs.The natives are completely overpowered by their firm belief that any wrong deed committed by them will be duly revenged by unseen spirits.Dr.Johngion\u2019s address was brief but most interesting.Refreshments of coffee, cake, and ices were then served and the guests spent a most agreeable social time before dispersing.RETURN OF HON.MR.ANGERS.Hon.A.R.Angers, who in company with Hon.J.S.Hall, has been representing the Province of Quebec in the Indian annuities case, stated to a reporter last evening that he was unable to say what future action the government would take in the matter, but he supposed that they might proceed against the old Frovince of Quebec.Messrs.Angers and Hall had attended the Canadian Club dinner in London, to gether with Hon.Mr.Dobell and Hon.A, S.Jones, of Halifax.The latter was on the Pacific Cable Commission.Mr.Angers met Lord Derby (formerly Lord Stanley and Governor General of Canada) in Canada.His Lordship, made many inquiries about his old friends in Canada.Mr.Angers concluded by saying that in bis opinion our mother country was never more prosperous than she is just now.LOCAL

Y.M.C.A.Hall, Mis.Robert Reid presiding._ _ In introducing his subject \u201c Heredity ia Health,\u201d Dr.Mills pa.d a high compli ment to the members of the Montreal Women's Club for having themselves chosen a subject of such far-reaching im- The lecturer declared that as science has ever been a dispeller of mists, so it would prove in the question of heredity also.The existence and laws .of heredity was a subject for the deepest last meeting were read by the secretary, | Miss Derrick.A great treat was afforded | than parents must be taken into account to all present by the reading, by Dr.| to explain certain results, | | | investigation, In studying heredity other \u201cWe count a man fortunate,\u201d said Dr.Mills, \u2018\u201c\u201cwho marries into a good family, and rightly so, as desirable off-spring may be expected from such a man.it an entire family be studied it will b> found that few of the characteristics of the parents will fail to be rep:oduced among the children.There is not, at the present time sufficiently established confidence in the invariability of the law of cause and effect.If this law were properly regarded the lives of the generality of men would doubtless be better ordered.The principle of the dual relationship existing between mind and body is as yet only recognized by the few.The question of heredity assumes broader propouriions when we realize sthe fact of mind and body acting and re-acting on each other.The great, mass of people are quite incapable of making any mental analys.s for themselves.|\u201c Hereditary resemblances in a physical sense are much morB easily recognizea than mental.But the close observer and trained student will not fail to detect hereditary tiaits unnoticed by the ordin ary observer or even the parents them- | selves.\u201cThe theory,\u201d sad Dr, Mil's \u201cthat we can make ourselves what we choose is too wide and indiscriminate 11 its application.It is\u201ds mply itmpossibl: for the majority to devæop great mathe maticians, music\u2018ans, and so on.Man of all animals is most influenced by environment.The question of he.edity shoud be better and more generally undzrstood.The laws of heredity do not differ in men and animals.The wonder is that the power of inheritance should ever fail.Even peculiarities may be transmitted.Darwin gives some very odd illustrations of this in his works,.What 1s termed complex heredity is shown by s'mi'arity in attitude, walking, voice, ge-tures, laughing, etc., and is very strong testimony to this fact.\u201d The lecturer concluded his most able address by saying, \u201c Let our aim.be to produce, then, the right kind of people.\u201d lv passed to the lecturer, and then questions were asked and discusion follswed.t A short musical programme was given by Mrs.Renouf.piana ; Miss Bengough, violin ; song, Miss MeMartin.EXPERIMENTAL FARM.The Ottawa Flag Reviews the Work Accomplished.the subject of an article in the last issue of the Flag, Ottawa.After dealing with the steps taken in Parliament and out b- fore to establish five experimental farms was passe the writer says : \u201cIn the widely different climates which prevail in the severad Provinces.and territories of the Dominion the practices connected with the successful growing of agricultural products must necessarily vary, and while the aim has been to carry on the experimental work with some degree of uniformity.those special lines of investigation required to meet the more pressing needs- of each district have received greater attention.\u2018The general work on the farms has included the testing of all produetiveness and earliness of ripening.Roots, fodder crops and the growing of Indian corn or maize for ensilage have also received much attention, and these experiments have been associated wiin the feeding of cattle with the object of ascertaining the relative value of these several products in producing beef and milk.Many experiments have also been conducted in the feeding of swine with the coarser grains and other less valuable and bulky farm products, and converting these into pork.Dloultry has also been kent at each farm, and the relative value of some of the well-known breeds for egg laying tested.Experiments covering period of five or six years have been in progress to ascertain the best time for sowing or planting the more important agricultural crops.¢« A large proportion of the crops of ail the most promising and productive cereals grown at the several experimental faving are distributed each year, chiefly from the Central Farm, in packages of three pounds each.These are sent free to farmers on application, for the improvement of seel, and if properly cared for, one of these packages will, by the end of the second season, usually furnish the rower with pure seed in sufficient quantity to sow a comparatively large area.The demand for these seed samples is now so great that it has been found necessary to limit the More than 35,000 applicants were supplied with samples this year.\u201d | The annual report, it is nointed out, 1s an important feature of the work of the experimental farms.They are sent to every farmer who asks for them and the mailing lists now include 50 applicants.For the past three years over 20,000 letters have been received at the farm.The Flag has come to the conclusion that the work is highly appreciated by the farmers, and the results already achieved have convinced the most skeptical of the very great usefulness of the Government Experimental Farms: : | A hearty vote of thanks was unanimous- The (Jovernment Experimental Farms is\u2019 the most promising sorts .of cereals for number sent to each applicant to one.CANADIAN NEWSLETS.Doings in Our Own Country Condensed Into

times, is not the physical wreck some of his enemies would have the public believe.On the contrary, this wonderful young man from California is stronger, heavier and more active than he ever was before.1t is true that he devotes a great deal of time to his stuge work, but he does not neglect the exercise which has been part of his daily routine since the idea of developing his muscles struck him veurs ago.Corbett does not work to improve his muscular system us he used to.His ideas are as much advanced on this subject as they are ahead of the times in connection with glove fighting.Cor- bett is a close observer and a real fighting genius.His careful studies of other sighters help him out so far as primitive ideas are concerned, for upon slight suggestions he builds many practical plans of attack and defence.tIe is an inventor of blows and readily improves upon punches, invented by others.But he is*original if anything, Corbett is as great a master of boxing as Paderewski is of the piano.To have astonished the sporting world by beating with comparative ease the great John L.Sullivan, might have satisfied the ambitions of most athletes.Not so with James Joseph Corbett.Ile is anxious to knock the aspirations of Robert Fitzsimmons into a cocked hat, and until he has had a try at the dangerous New Zealand blacksmith, the conqueror of Sullivan and Mitchell, and the others will not be contented.Corbett is far too level-headed not to realize that Fitzsimmons is by long odds the most dangerous man in the world for him to tackle.And Corbeti has for nearly two years been quietly sizing up his rival\u2019s ring tricks.He hopes to surprise Fitzsimmons by his knowledge of the latter's methods.Moreover, Corbett has some new blows which he says are carefully sccreted on the inner side of his cuffs, so that no one can guess what they are.© If Fitzsimmons reckons he can play on me the tricks that he worked on Hall, Maher and Creedon, he'll get left.\u201d said Corbeit, vesterday morning, after he had tinished his work at Wood's Gymnasium, He} get left badly, for I'm getting on to bis curves every day, and T intend to spring some brand-new tae- ties on him in the bargain.\u201d Corbett puts in nearly an hour every day at a pulley wrist machine.Tlis desire is to develop the muscles in his forearms, and he has found this plan an excellent one for the purpose.It suits his ideas exactly.\u201c Everybody understands that fighting men have changed their stvles of attack during the past few years,\u201d Corbett explained, as his attendant proceeded to give him an alcohol rub.\u201cNearly all of the old-time methods when hare {fists did the work have been abandoned.In the days of turf fights men were frightfully eut up and a majority of the fights continued for hours.Playing for a punch on the jaw was not dreamed of.The jugular vein was supposed to be the spot to try for.Now it has changed.All the fighters aim for the jaw.\u201d \u201c Fitzsimmons,\u201d the champion went on to say, \u201chas a strange faculty for land- fng there too, but I should be sorry to have him hit my jaw.Jie do it though if a chance is offered.intend is that no chance will be presented on my side of the house.But speaking of forearm development, this man Fitz has an advantage over many of us.[His experience as a blacksmith is responsible for this.His forearms are splendily developed, and to this more than anything else may be attributed his wonderful hitting powers at short range.He can hit like a mule kicking without pulling his arm back In swinging a man leaves or a for a swing.himself open to a cross-counter hook punch.\u201d \u201cIt was not my good fortune to have big forearms,\u201d he continued.\u201c1 never had any hard work to do when I was a youngster.I have developed my muscles by gymnasium work alone.So Fitzsimmons had the better of me to begin with.My forearms now will pass muster though,\u201d and the Californian held them up for inspection.\u201c1 fancy myself able to deliver as hard a hook punch as Fitzsimmons ever could send in, and I know I can land oftener than he can.1 am convinced that I can beat him inside of twenty rounds.If I fail he can take all the money.\u201d \u201cFitz's favorite blow is a right-hand upper cut, sent inside His opponent's guard to the chin.He is at times dangerous with his left in the same way.I will be on the lookout for a strong one, and if he lands it will be my hard luck.I am not so sure that I did not use this hook punch before Fitz did.Tt was a favorite blow of mine when I was the boxing instructor at the Olympic Club in San Francisco.Perhaps he employed tha blow before he came to this country.\u201cFrom what T have seen and heard of Fitz he is a trifle more partial to swinging blows than I am.I hope my caleu- lations in this direction are not wrong, for he'll be an easy mark under such circumstances.1f he chooses to indulge in straight hitting and clever boxing he will be harder to settle, but I am certain that I can outbox him.\u201d Corbett is in splendid shape physically and could prepare himself for a finish fight in three weeks.Ile will remain in this vicinity until arrangements can he completed for his fight with Fitzsim- mons, and he is ready to cancel his theatrical engagements at one week's notice, \u2018 When I have settled with this fellow,\u201d said Corbett, \u201c1 shall let the ring take care of itself.Fighting is not so had.but training continually is a great deal worse than driving a street car.Of course I do not follow all the old rules of dieting and running.At the same time I am obliged to take great precautions against catching cold, and T must do a certain amount of hard work every day.If a man could fight without training, the country would be overrun with fighters.They wouldn\u2019t be worth $3 a ton, as Arthur Chambers once said.Acting is a heap better than fighting, but if T hadn\u2019t learned how to put up my hands I don\u2019t suppose T would ever have taken to the stage.TI have worked hard to make an actor of myself, and if IT do say it I'm a fair light comedian.But I'm improving all the time and I hope to occupy at no distant day a place on the stage that the advertising I mained in fighting could not gain for me alone.\u201d Jim MeVey, Corbett\u2019s trainer.is of the opinion that the big fight will not last five rounds.\u201c Corbett will whip this duffer in a gallop,\u201d says the trainer.\u201c Tt's a cinch if I ever saw one.\u201d And \u201cKid\u201d Fagan, Corbett\u2019s business manager, is of the same mind.THE MACE-DONOVAN FIGHT.New York, Dec.14.\u2014About \u20182,500 people attended the Mace-Donovan benefit at the Broadway Athletic Club to-night.In addition to the ex-heavy weight champion of the world and the onetime American middle-weight champion, a host of other by-gone stars were in evidence.The science of the present day was well represented by James ,J.Corbett.Among the spectators were men well-known in the higher walks of life who were present to show their appreciation of the manly art.The fun commenced with a three-round bout between Charley Norton and Dan Keefe, of Newark.Jim Hall, the Australian, and Pete Burns, of Harlem, then gave uw lively \u201cgo\u201d, which pleased the crowd immensely.The old veterans, George Rooke and John Donaldson, both of whom have felt the force of John I.Sullivan\u2019s blows, were the next pair.They smiled as they played at \u201cjab and counter\u201d for three one-minute rounds and got a great ovation.A tremendous burst of aplause greeted John L.Sullivan as he was announced to make a short speech.He spoke briefly thanking the audience for their hearty reception, and bespeaking for pugilism a sue- cessful revival in this country if the managers of the sport were true to the public and careful of keeping faith.Ife received quite an ovation as he retired.Billy Edwards, the ex-light-weight champion, and Arthur Chambers, of Philadelphia, his old rival, then sparred three rounds.Chambers was quite fat, but Billy was down fine.They did not bother about the gong, but sat down when they were tired and three rounds were more than enough for them.Bob Armstrong, the colored heavy-weight from Chicago, was pounds heavier and inches taller than Tommy Kelly, of Hoboken, and the latter had a hard time to keep away for three rounds, Barney Aaron and Dooney Harris followed.Barney got a big floral horseshoe be- fcre he put on the gloves.George Dixon was heartily cheered when he was introduced, as was \u201cKid\u201d Lavigne.Neither would make the loudly requested speech.A great reception was accorded ; to Corbett as he came into the ring to box three rounds with Jim MeVey, his sparring partner.The champion looked in goorl ; shape.He was as lively as a kitten and : gave a beautiful exhibition of science.Joe i Choynski and Peter Maher were next introduced, and bowed their acknowledg- ; ments.When the stars of the evening { came on there were 2,500 people in the house.Mace and Donovan entered the ring at 19.50.Parson Davies acted as master of ceremonies.He spoke in behalf of the \u2018 beneficiaries, thanking the press and public for the generous support accorded to the enterprise.He especially thanked Mr.Al Smith, and that gentleman was called to the platform and cheered loudly.The velerans had on long white trousers and were stripped above the belt.Parson | Davies, who acted as referee, stated that i there would be no decision, as the set-to wag to De a scientific exhibition of a friendly nature.Donovan was very active \u201con hig feet and danced all around the old t Erglishmaun, tapping him lightly on the face and body with open gloves.Mace, despite his vears, was quick and used his left well.Tn the second round Mace took out his false teeth and threw them to his seconds.In the third round Mace shovel his left in straight a couple of times and Mike sent a pretty hot one to the jaw.They did some lively tapping in the last round and the old fellows looked to be in carrest for a second, when Parson Davies | called time.They shook hands and there were loud cries of draw.Both men were loudly cheered at the conclusion.The final event was a ten round bout between Jack McKee: and Jgmmy Rose, both of New York, at 115 pounds.Dick Roche was the referee.In the earlier rounds McKeck did the better work by far, shooting his left to the heart frequently.He stopped nearly all of Rose's rushes with straight punches on the face.Rose woke up in the eighth and reached MeKeclk\u2019s jaw several times.The ninth was evenly contested.McKeck did most What I jo the leading in the tenth though Rose did some clever stopping.The referee awarded the bout to McKeck.LYNCH DENIES EVERYTHING.San Francisco, Dec.14.\u2014The hearing of Fitzsimmons\u2019 suit against Sharkey for the $10,000 purse was resumed this morning.Dr.Lustig, medical examiner for the was denied admission to Sharkey's dressing room after the fight.Fitzsinnnons then testified that he did not strike a foul blow and he illustrated to the court how he struck Sharkey.Martin Julian told of his attempts to have Lynch agree upon à refereco, D.J.Lynch, Sharkey\u2019s manager, then testified that the first he knew of Earp\u2019s apointment as referee was about 4 o'clock on the afternoon of the fight.He had never heard FKarp\u2019s name mentioned in connection with the affair before then.Five days before the fight he made a small bet on Sharkey, the smallest he had made on any of the Sailor's contests.Neither he nor Sharkey had any interest whatever in the National Club.He was on the timers\u2019 stand during the fight, and did not go near the ring after the battle, but when Sharkey went out he went to the dressing-room and waited for the Sailor to be brought in.He did not whisper to him to pretend to be in pain.Lynch denied the statement of Billy Smith regarding the treatment Sharkey received.He did not know how Dr.Lee came to be called in.Lynch said he sent for & good physician to report at the Wind- \u20acor.\u201c Did you ever ask Smith if you could not do business with Hiram Cook as referee?\u201d he was asked.\u201cT did not.\u201d .\u201cDid you \u2018have an understanding or agreement with the referee to award the #10,000 to Sharkey, whether he won or not 7\u201d \u201c T did not.\u201d Lynch explained that he did not accept the men suggested by Julian for referee as they were Julian\u2019s personal friends or sympathizers, or had made bets on Fitzsimmons.Sharkey will be examined to-morrow morning, THE SHAMROCKS ENTERTAINMENT.The weekly entertainments of the sSham- rcek A.A.A., at their club-house, promise to be a popular feature of this season's eveuts.The opening will be on Friday next, when on excellent programme will be given.Apart from several numbers given by gentlemen appearing at the then- tres here, there will be several boxing bouts of interest on the card.Jimmy Dwyer, who was given the decision over young Norton the other night in a 13 round fight, will meet Jimmy Murphy in four rounds, while Jimmy Clark and Thomas will also box four rounds.Several aspirants belonging to the Association wlll don the mittens in three round bouts, and ihe feature of the evening will be the contest between Prof.Rooney and Buffalo Costello.The latter will also give a bag-punching exhibition early in the evening, ROIetiing of interest.The car service to the grounds on Friday evening wlll be satisfactory, ae- cording to promise, and it is certain that the hall will be filled to the doors.THE WHEEL, WELL-EARNED MONEY.New York, Dee.14.\u2014The closing scene of the big six days\u2019 bicycle race, held at Madison Square Garden

has worked wonders.When the crew got back Captain Goodrich led his men in three cheers of My, Lehmann, then three cheers for Harvard and then three more \u2018rahs for Mr.Tehmann.The genial coach responded in a short speech in which he thanked the oarsmen for their cordiality, expressed his satisfaction with what he had seen of their work tlicough the last few weeks and hoped to see them all

handsome costumes, is once more with us.At the Academy last night it opened a week\u2019s business to a crowded house, the occasion being the annual benefit of the Baron de Hirsch Institute.That this well deserving institute will get a nice sum out of the performance is certain.The principals in \u201cWang\u201d are all excellent, led of course by Al Hart with his rich powerful voice and his able histrionic work.Mr.Hart received a thoroughly warm welcome and a huge bouquet of roses into the bargain.There were several new people\u2014new at least in their characters ot last night.Miss Norma Kopp as Prince Mataya, is a surprise.She was a pretty and painstaking Gillete, but in Matava she has a role admirably suited to her, and she bears well comparison with other Matayas.Mr.W.A.Daniels is a really capital Fracasse, and Miss Pauline Harvey, both acted and sang the widow in a manncr deserving warm praise.Another new comer is Miss Elsie Barton, who played Marie very prettily, and got good encores for *\u2018 Every rose must have its thorn.\u201d Frank Casey is the same funny Pepat.All the well worn songs were encored.** You must ask of the man in the moon,\u201d \u2018Elephant in his

same.\u2018* Wang\u201d is a standard attraction, and merits crowded houses.The Francais has one of the best attractions of the season in \u2018\u201c\u2018\u2019l'he Silver King,\u201d that fine old

an agreeable sur prise to the gumerous friends of this popn lar house.few little hitches occuired, as is not unusual in fir:t performances, hut these will be avoided in future performances, That the audiences yesterday were pleased was shown by their frequent hearty applause, and Francais audiences have heen trained to cxpect something good.Mr.Emmett C, King made an excellent \u201cSilver\u201d King, and Miss MacGre- gor won the house byh er portrayal of the character of Nellie Denver.All the ] other parts are in good hands.The vaudeville bill is first-class.It is hesd-ii by Mr.Raymon Moore, the author où \u201cSweet Marie,\u201d whose songs made a big hit.The phantoscope, Edison\u2019s iatest invention, proved a strong attiaction, and its views held the house for half an hour.\u201c The

Queen's Theatre last night presented \u201cOliver Twist,\u201d and it is evident from the large audience present that Charles Dickens\u2019 celebrated story has lost none of its interest for Montrealers.The portrayal of the principal characters as seen last night was creditable and Mr.Charles R.| Crolina as Fagin, did the part to the eat- isfaction of the audience.The part of Bill Syles was taken by Mr.Albert Bru- ening, late of the Mantell Company, aud in his hands it lost none of its old-time interest.Grace Sherwood as Oliver \u2018Twist, and Melen Robertson, as Nancy .Sykes, were in parts that suited their abilities.Mr.Charles XE.Fisher was the Artiul Dodger, and Mr.(layton Legge, who has done good work here before, did well the small role allotied to him on this occasion.The other parts were well looked after.In the vaudeville line, the attractions this week are specially good.Miss Lizzie B.Raymond, in her character songs, made a decided hit.The Royal Japanese are always

the money to an honest starel.Of course there are many complicated details, and variety is lent by occasional selections from an eccentric and musical quartette.Charles Cowles, ns the takes the part of his wife Patience, sustain difficult parts well.Annie Louise Barron as Phyllis Loring, the heroine, and A.C.Sauders, a gouty colonel are equally worthy of mention, while the other Juris are fairly well sustained.Taken altogether the Royal bill should draw «good houses.MR.AUGUSTE VAN BIENK.The next celebrity, new to our publie, to visit our shores this season par excellence of trans-Atlantic

Declared to be Perfectly Sate for 20-Knot Steamers, | EXPERTS AND BUSINESS MEN EXPRESS THEIR VIEWS, Some Halifax Men Who are Enthusiastic for the Project and Boom Their City for Terminal Port\u2014Montreal Business Men's Views on the Subject.- Following are a number of interviews upon the fast atlantic steamer project which The Herald has gathered in Montreal and Halifax.: MR.HENRY MILES.Mr.Henry Miles, of Leeming, Miles & Co., importers, was asked by The Herald to give his views on the problem.In reply he said: oo \u201cThe constituents of the opposition to! a fast Atlantic service to a Canadian port are, I think, lst, cost and possibility of | running such a service with a profit; 2nd.The danger involved in the St.Lawrence waters: 3rd, the question of combining freight and passenger service, going at \u201csomewhat greater speed than at present: and 4th, The interests of present lines.As to the first point\u2014cost and profit\u2014I know nothing technically about the steam- ghip business, nor does it seem to me that : the point calls for estimation with us.The British and Canadian.Governments ofer a certain subsidy which has afforded inducements suilicient to bring in tenders.It a satisfactory tender can ba obtained it should settle this feature of the question, leaving, as it does to the tenderer the full responsibility involved.\u201cJe there more danger in running a \u2018fast\u2019 boat at a given slow rateof speed through fog (or any other condition dangerous to vessels) than to run a \u2018slow\u2019 boat at the same rate of speed under similar circumstances?lt might reduce the advantage to be gained by a \u2018fast\u2019 line \u201cwere the conditions always unfavorable to speed, but-as such is not the case the objection in the direction of \u201cdanger\u2019 would seem largely one of sentiment and to a great extent misleading\u2014As to the third point a combination of freight and passenger service does not seem possible.Much improvement upon the pre- .sent service cannot thus be had, as far as the passenger branch is concerned.The railroads give an example in this matter.They make several separations in their fcrvice on land.The main distinction is freight trains and express traigs, but they find it necessary to sub-divile further, and run different .classes of freight as \u201cwelll as passenger trains.\u201cThe interests of the present lines have strong advocates.No stone has been left uriurned to discourage this enterprise, \u2018but it must be allowed that actual interest \u2014the value to them of subsidies and the er-ormous amount of capital represented in \u2018their vesels\u2014shapes their argument and position generally on the question.If one can have a 20-knot service upon the basis of the subsidies to be granted by bcth Governments T believe the people \u2018pf this country should push for it.I believe that such a service would be of great benefit to Canada.Montreal and the JProvince of Quebec would benefit possibly to the greatest extent.Along with the Maritime Provinces.The subsidies for mail service given to present lines may be justifiable but \u2018via New York\u2019 is so much quicker and \u2018indicated\u2019 to such a great extent by business houses in their correspondence that the granting of subsidies to fast freight boats does apepar oren to question.Some advantageous fea- tvres may present themselves, but it will be hard to find anything to maintain the justice and equity of assisting certain freight carriers coming to this port, while others of less speed will have to carry goods at the same rates, or possibly at less.\u201d MR.A.P.SILVER\u2019S VIEWS.Mr.Arthur P.Silver, of W.C.Silver & Co:, holds the followng views on the proposed service which he communicated to The Herald representative: \u201cThe fast Atlantic service of steamships may be regarded from two points of view.\u2014either as a connecting link to facilitate communication between distant sections of the Empire or as a line for the con- venicnece of Canadians, to afford passen- -ger, freight and mail accommodation.For efficiency as part of a highway to the East and to Australia, there is no doubt that such a service should be established as should rival the best lines plying between New York and the Mother Country, and to further such a desirable end, the British Government would doubtless contribute a very substantial subsidy.Looking at the matter in this light, the shortest sea voyage should be adopted to the splendid harbor of Halifax, several hundreds of miles nearer than New York, and always approachable at the highest rate of speed.\u201cThe necessity of a very costly service from Canadian ports is undeniably lessened by the fact that both for mails and pas- _sagc the magnificent fleet from.New York is largely used at present.The present \u2018service should at least be brought up to the standard of having four boats, capable of seventeen or eighteen knots, and of fair capacity of freight, say equal to the new ship Canada, of the Dominion Line.Such boats should make Montreal their summer terminus, and Halifax the winter port.They should in summer perhaps alternate with Halifax and Montreal.They would not call for such expensive rates of passage as rule on the New York lines, would give tourists and health-seek- ers the advantage of the glorious sail on the noble St.Lawrence in summer, and would provide for rapid transit of freight most important to merchants dealing either in perishable goods or in fancy merchandise such as millinery, dry goods, ete.A féw very wealthy travellers would still doubtless be attracted to the New York route, but only a small minority.\u201cThe mail service in conjunction with the New York route would then be in a sufficiently efficient state, and the proposed extra outlay for the two added knots might be judiciously economized in a line with all the other necessary and wise economics to which the party in power are committed for the country\u2019s good.\u201d MR.BROOKFIELDS PROPOSITION.Mr.S.M.Brookfield, a well-known Halifax capitalist, and President of\u2019 the Canada and Newfoundland Steamship Companies, when asked for his views, replied by making the following proposi- ion: \u201cIf it is the wish of the Tmperial Government that Canada should have a fast Fne to be of assistance to the Empire, then by all means let our Government give the aid required to secure a line at least equal in speed to the quickest New York line, but if it is only a Canadian idea, T am not in favor of our Government giving a subsidy of $730,000 dollars a vear for the proposed fast line.which annual expenditure will not materiallv benefit cither the (summer or winter ports to any great extent.But what in my opinion would be a much better Way of aiding the west, and making Liverpools of St.John, and Halifax, would be the running of the Interco- lonial Railway at a loss of $500,000 dollars a year, which would place our own ports on an equal footing with Portland, Boston or New Yogk.That is carrying Western produce at a loss during the time the St.Lawrence is closed, some four to five months of the year, which would save holders of produce extra expense in getting their goods forward to Montreal, before the closing of navigation, they could hold the same to suit the best market, or send regularly forward the same as is done by the Grand Trunk shippers to Portland.\u201cSurely after all these years of talk since Confederation, and the large expenditure of public money upon the Government Intercolonial Railway, there is sufficient patriotism in Canada to compel any government to give up subsidizing mail or freight steamers making their terminus in a foreign port, If the above suggestion \u2018were carried out, all subsidies to steamers could be done away with, plenty of steamships would come to either port, the country would then get back the money lost in operating the railway.\u201cThe passenger traffic is large, and lines ccmpeting for it would get fast boats, Look at the Labrador and Canada, built without any extra subsidy, and no doubt faster boats would be built by other companies to keep pace with the times just the same as the lines running to New York have had to do, to keep up their prestige.\u201cMails ought to be given to the quickest steamers only no matter by what line, and paid for by weight.\u201d ATTORNEY-GENERAL LONGLEY.Hon.J.W.Longley, Attorney-General of Nowa Scotia, expressed himself as follows to The Herald on the proposed fast service : 1 regret to say that 1 am not, quite as clear on the subject of the fast line steamship service as many Canadians are.1 do think it desirable in every Way that Canada should have a front position in connection with an ocean steamship service between here and Great Britain.As long ago as 1838, when the late Hon.Joseph llowe made his first visit to lung- land, he became impressed with the neces sity of close communication between Great Britain and these British North American Provinces by a steamship service, and he addressed a very able letter to the Colonial Secretary, urging the British Government to take measures to insure direct steam communication between Great Britain and Halifax.In the course of his letter he used the following eloquent words, which were almost prophetic in their character, and which have great significance even at this moment : \u201c\u201c1f Great Britain is to maintain her footing upon the North American conti- rent ; if she is to hold command of the extensive sea coast from Maine to Labrador, skirting milliond of square miles of fertile lands ; intersected by navigable rivers ; indented by the best harbors in the world; containing now a million and a half of people, and capable of supporting many millions, of whose aid in war and consumption in peace she 18 secure, she must, at any hazard of even increased expenditure for a time, establish such a line of rapid communication, by steam, as will ensure the speedy trans mission of public despatches, commercial correspondence, and general information, through channels exclusively British, and inferior to none in security and expedition.If this is not done, the Britisn population on both sides of the Atlantio are left to receive, through foreign channels, intelligence of much that occurs in the mother country and the colonies, with at least ten days, in most cases, for erron.cous impressions to circulate before they can be corrected.* * * The pride as well as the interests of the British people would seem to require means of com: munication with each other second to none, which are enjoyed by other states.\u201d \u201d \u201c Since that date a wonderful development has taken place in Canada, and in- steed of a million and a half of people it has five millions and has assumed national proportions.The material assistance to secure a line of stcam communication equal to that between the United States and Great Britain now seems to devolve upon Canada rather than upon Great Britain.The result of Mr.Howe's stirring letter was that subsidies were granted by the Imperial Government which led to the formation of the Cunard Steamship Line between Halifax and Liverpool, which was one of the great pioneer ocean steamship\u2019 lines of this continent.\u201c But while believing firmly that Canada should be abreast of her neighbors in the United States, in respect of steam communication with Great Britain, 1 am not entirely clear that the granting of a large subsidy, accompanied by a cast-iron contract extending over a\u2019number of years for a twenty knot service is a thoroughly wise course.Even at the pre sent moment steamers are plying between New York and Liverpool at a greater rate than twenty knots an hour.Improvements in the direction of applied science are taking place every year in the world.Flectricity is being substituted for steam in connection with land locomotion and may be at any time substituted in water locomotion.\u2018New appliances may be devised within the next two or three years which will make a twenty knot service as much a back number as.a ten knot service would be to-day.If any contract is made and subsidies amounting to £750,000 from Canada and $375,000 from \u2018reat Britaig granted it ought to be either for a very short period of time, or revocable after notice by the Government, so that we could adiust our subventions to meet new conditions which are likely to arise.\u201cSo far as the mere matter of securing passengers to cross the ocean by a Canadian steamship line, a very slight material advantage to (Canada will - accrue.The freight service is of more than co-equal importance and if large sums of money are to be paid out regard must be had for the necessities of trade as well as the conveniences of travel, \u201cI \"would think that the Government, while actuated by a desire to secure a proper standing for Canada in this matter of ocean travel, should take time and weigh well all the incidents connected with it and only reach a determination when every element and factor in the case had been duly weighed and considered.\u201d cc THE HERALD, TUESDAY, DECEMBER 15, 1896.ST.LAWRENCE ROUTE.Is Perfectly Safe for 20-Knot Steamers\u2014 Overwhelming Evidence.The Canadian Gazette, London, in an article on the detention by fog in the St.lawrence quotes the testimony of the Laurentian look-out, aond continues: The expert evidepce is overwhelming, in favor of the St.Lawrence as a fast mail route.Let any one consult the published records of, say, the year 1894, when the subjéet of the fast mail service was under discussion, and he will be convinced on that point.\"There is, we suppose, no higher authority on sea navigation than Sir John Hopkins, the Admiral just appointed to command the Mediterranean fleet of the British navy.Admiral Hopkins has three times taken Iler Majesty's North American squadron up to Montreal, and when he tells us that, in doing so, he has not even sought the aid of a pilot, we need no better testimony to the safety of the\u2018 navigation when conducted with knowledge and care.The way in which \u2018the channel is buoyed out and lighted elicited Admiral Hopkins\u2019 warm praise.\u201cOnce inside the Gulf and knowing your position,\u201d he says, \u201cyou could run up that river for a couple of hundred miles in the thickest of fogs without seeing anything.\u201d The one critical point is the Straight of Belle Isle, and what detention there may ba in the thick weather at that point is more than made up by the fact that whereas the distance from Liverpool to Quebec is 12,634 miles, that from Liverpool to New York is 3,023.miles.In a subsequent statement Admiral Mop- kins says: \u201cThe navigating dangers have been red-herring across the trail, in a disproportionate ratio to their difficulties, and these,\u201d he adds, \u201cmay be dismissed as \u2018existing, but readily surmounted.\u201d I feel confident,\u201d he goes on to remark, \u201cthat most of the very able men who at this moment command the mail steamers of both the Allan and Dominion Lines would unhesitatingly and with alacrity exchange their present vessels for steam: ers running at a 20-knot speed.\u201d Turning to Canadian experts, we find this statement by Mr.William Smith, then Deputy Minister of Marine: \u201cThe navigation of fast steamers would naturally require the observance of the same precautions as in the case of slower vessels, but fast steamers possess advantages slower ones do not, as explained by Captain Wakeham.I also concur in his opinion that \u2018the fast ship will be much less likely to be affected by local currents, and that while she is better able to take every advantage of clear weather than a slower boat, she need go no faster than prudence would warrant in thick weather.\u201d The excellence of the lighting of the shores of the Gulf and the River St.Lawrence has often been commented upon both by Admiral Sir John Ifopkins and his predecessor, Admiral Watson; and others; and the safety of the route at the present day is most effectively illustrated by the large number of vessels passing up and down the river during the season of navigation.This in itself -+ amply justifies Sir John Hopkins\u2019 views as to the possibility of a high rate of speed being maintained.\u201d Turning now to the evidence of actual navigators, we will quote only two as representative.Captain Smith, for many years commodore of the Allan Line fleet, and now chairman of the Board of Examiners of Masters and Mates at Halifax, Nova Scotia, confirms the statements of Admiral Hopkins, Mr.Deputy Minister Smith and Commodore Wakeham, and declares: \u201cA high rate of speed for a steamer in the Gulf of St.Lawrence is not to be fear- morning, with no material alterations in ed if all necessary steps are taken to slacken when a vessel is known to be approaching shoal water, land or ice in foggy weather, and steamers capable of making good speecd will be safe enough if proper vigilance and care be exercised.\u201d In this same report Captain Smith points out that during the season at the end of which he was writing (the season of 1894), remarkably fast passages had been made by the 14 and 15-knot steamers of the Allan and Dominion Line between Mo- ville (Treland) and Rimouski, im the St.Lawrence, where the mails are embarked and disembarked.Under like circumstances of weather, he adds, a steamer of 20-knots an hour would have performed the same service from Moville to Rimous- ki in five days, as ber speed would have averaged more than 150 geographical miles per day in cxecess of the others.Finally, taking the experience of non- mail steamers, we find Captain Chase, of the Glen Line, declaring that on the twenty-five round trips he had made from North Sydney to Quebec-and Montreal in the two preceding seasons he had only lost between three and four hours\u2019 time through fog and thick weather.He did not, he said, think that record could be beaten on any other water route of 800 miles in the world.He could see nothing to seriously delay the fastest boats in the St.Lawrence.In fact, the fast liners rushing over the hanks and on to Sandy Hook through fog incurred, in his judgment, risk to ship and life far more than they would incur by turning at Cape Race into the St.Lawrence, with a clear coast to Quebec.IAN MAGLAREN GOING HOME.New York, Dec.15.\u2014The Rev.Dr.John Watson, better known as \u2018Tan MacLaren\u201d who closed his lecture tour last Saturday night will sail for his home in Liverpool to-morrow.Major Pond who had charge of Dr.Watson\u2019s tour said to-day that Dr.Watson had received many offers to pastorates in thes country.In fact, he re ceived such offers in almost evéry city he visited but Dr.Watson was not considering them.He had no intention of coming to America to live.Te might return here at some future time for another lecture tour, but that was not vet definitely settled.Dr.Watson refused to discuss the cable despatch in which it was said he had received a call to London as pastor of the Marvlebone Presbyterian Church, to sue- ceed Dr.Pentecost, who had been called to this country.THE DR.NOT ON STRIKE.Dunnville, Ont., Dec.15.\u2014Hon.Dr.Montague, was questioned to-day about a despatch which was to the effect that Messrs, Haggart and Montague had refused to talk part in the election contest in Cornwall, and that Hon.George EK.Toster\u2019s mos- sion to Toronto last week was partly to endeavor to induce the two ex-ministers to take a hand in the contest.Dr.Montague denied this.The doctor said, \u201cI have been unable to leave here for the present because of some matters of purely personal nature, in which T am interested.\u201d The doctor added that he regretted that it was impossible for him to visit Cornwall at present, AN ESTATE WOUND UP.Seven years ago the wholesale dry goods house of McLachlan Brothers, Montreal, failed, bringing down with it.the firm of Lindsay, Gilmore & Co., the combina Liabilities being close on a million dollars.The failure of McLachlan Brothers led to the assignment of between fifteen and twenty retail firms throughout Ontario, which they had been carrying.\u2018The Bank of Toronto was a large creditor.A final dividend of one-half cent on tha dollar has just been declared on this estate,

HERALD Office, Tuesday, December 15.There was a moderate increase in the volume of business in local stocks this values.À few changes took place, however, which for the most part suggested a fairly firm \"indertone.Street Railway and Cable proved the features.For the former there was quite a good demand around 219 to 219}, with something like 300 shares being taken on investment account.Cable ruled rather on the easy side, selling once or twice during the early session at 164%.Toronto Railway was a little easier, and Richelieu a shade firmer.The feature in cottons was the sale of Montreal at 124.The money market continues to exhibit great easiness, and call loans are easily .obtainable on the basis of 43 per cent.Montreal Street Railway earnings yesterday amounted to $3,415.90, an increase over the corresponding day last year of $233.87.: The opening highest, lowest and closing prices on the local Stock Exchange to-day and the sales were as -follows: MORNING BOARD.Sales.Open.High.Low.Close 395 Cable.peau eue 165 165 1643 1643 100 Postal.\u2026\u2026.934 934 934 U4 100 Toronto Ry.\u2026.\u2026.\u2026- 70 70 69; 693 14 Gas.ore eeenann 182 182 182 1828 445 Street Ry.\u2026.21 2193 219 2194 50 Richelieu.864 864 8k 8bi 23 Ontario.si 81 sl 81 252 Montreal Cotton.124 124 124 124 25 Hochelaga.\u2026.- 124 124 124 124 25 Duluth pfd.\u2026.- 4} 43 4% 4} \u201cThe tone of the wheat market is still uncertain,\u201d says the London Statist, \u201cand it would surprise nobody if there were to be a temporary decline, partly because the holidays are close at hand, and partly because the buying has been so eagér and so large for some time past that everyone is now supplied for the time being; but the probability is that there will be an early recovery, supposing such fall takes place, and it 1s by no means unlikely that in the summer prices will be higher than they are now.There is much uncertainty still as to the Argentine crop; the better opinion seems to be that the locusts came too late to seriously damage the crop; but the fact that the information received varies so greatly would seem to lead to the inferences that the damage was much greater in some districts than in others.In some places, in short, the crop is good; in other places it is poor.Even assuming that Argentina will be able to export.4 or 5 million quarters of wheat, we have to bear in mind that India will not be an exporter, and that Australia, *nstead of exporting, will have to import considerably.The French crop is very good, but France, by-and-by, will*no doubt.be also a purchaser; and the latest faformation seems to point to a considerablegeficiency in tbe Russian harvest.\u201d : BONSECOURS MARKET.Cheap Prices Fail \u2018o Bring About Very Much Business.Bonsecours market did not present a very active appearance this morning, the attendance of both farmers and buyers being comparatively small.With good roads business may pick up next Friday, as it ought to with prices so cheap as they were to-day.any great variety of produce to offer, the principal lines on the square being oats beef and an occasional load of potltry.Oats were in slow demand, and difficult to work off at 60c to 65e a bag.Poultry on the other hand, met with a fair enquiry and considerable business was put through at the market stalls, Dcalers, however, which they say has been extremely dull ever since Thanksgiving.The quality of the poultry offered was only fair.Thère was of course good stock on hand at all the stalls but the supply of culls, tur- interfered with the sale of the better class of stock.The meat dealers found the general demand rather indifferent even at the extremely low prices which prevail ed.The following table offers a fair idea of values: Oats, per bag.\u2026.\u2026.\u2026.eevee 60 to 65 Peas,, per bag.+++., 65 to 75 Western dairy butter.15 to 17 Best dairy.\u2026.+++ +++0 2.00 to 18 Creamery.«« here sees .\u2026 00 to 22 Clheese.\u2026\u2026\u2026 were a,++ + 10 to 14 Oranges small, doz.\u2026.\u2026\u2026.OÙ to 10 Oranges lurge.- scree snes oo DO to 15 Apples No.1, peck.00 .13 to 20 Lemons, doz.+.cere +.00 to 12 Dates, Ib.++.0 00000 «.\u2026.00 to 10 Figs, h.te eerees sacs e 00 to 10 Almonds, Ib.ceveee cane oo.10 to 12 Butter-nuts, bag.00 to 60 Eggs, fresh.vies vee.28 to 30 Geese, Ib.ns eee ee + 04 to 06 Turkeys.+.serre anes 05 to 074 Fowl.Lane eer ae eeeees 04 to 06 Chickens.«ove caer soso 06 to 07% Pigeons, doz.«.2000 0 00 to 1.50 Squabs, doz.tees sa.\u2026 \u2026 00 to2.00 Snow birds, doZ.ee coon s0c000.15 to 20 Partridges, pair.45 to 55 Quails, d0Z.eee +.2.50 to 3,00 Snipe, don.cero 000 veer 2.250 £02.75 Hares, doz.
