frontier the operations of the British during the past season have not been successful.When the Afridi revolt occurred certain tribes in Baluchistan showed a disposition to rise, but the prompt seizure of the disaffected and threatening chieftains by the British authorities seemed to have cowed the rest of the leaders and suppressed the rising at least for the time.This fresh outbreak will, it is to be feared, encourage renewed revolts of the Afridis and Orak- zais next spring.prets An obviously authentic despatch fram Washington states that the United States Government may, after all, aénd no expedition with food supplies to the Klcndike gold region.Owing to the reports of the American generals in command in the military districts of the Columbia and Alaska, the need of relief is now regarded as doubtful.The United States officers declare that all reports received from Dawson City are to the same effect, namely, that there is no- scarcity of food, nor likely to be any severe want even in spring.The New York \u2018Herald\u2019s\u2019 yarn about six locomotives dragging thirtv-five cars loaded with one hundred and fifty tons of provisions over the Chilcoot Pass under the protection of a body of fifty United States troops, armed, is on the face of it a fable.ee The age of romance would seem to have returned ; California has, in fact, never been out of its glamor, whether in the days when Spanish hidalgoes shaped qut lordly estates for their pos terity on the genial Pacific shores, or in those when the land suddenly became an eldorado and human gnomes, enchanted by illusive dreams of happiness, drew gold frem its mines, or in these later days, when the bounties of the upper world have poured wealth into its lap.The University of California bas resources amounting to nine million dollars, has an annual income of two hundred and ninety thousand dollars from public grants alone, has already five million dollars to build with, and sees no reason why the means should not be forthcoming to .an unlimited extent as needed.Is it not like the days of Aladdin ?So California makes its challenge to the nineteenth century.Given unlimited means, every advantage of site and no limitations, can the present age produce a really great design ?Ample means have been provided by a wealthy lady to search out the world\u2019s greatest architect and pay for his design.All may compete.The designer has a clear site of commanding beauty and is to plan for all time.What, then, can the fullest fruition of the art of the nineteenth century, heir to all the ages, embarrassed indeed by -its varied inherited wealth, produce of its own ?No doubt every architect has once in boyish fancy placed himself in the very, position in which he pow finde himself, and planned what he would build if under no earthly limitations.Now that the dsy has: come, what has he to show ?Co || parlor was made the scene of an explo- THE MONTREAL.Civie representatives get no pay.Only \u2018two kinds of rewards are open to them.Ore is dishonest wealth.Most civie representatives grow richer and have their reward.The other reward is the gratitude and esteem of the public, whom they have gratuitously and faithfully served.Expression of this is too often lacking, Criticism they hear ; appreciation they do not.In the old phrase, : they \u2018get more kicks than coppers.\u2019 It is therefore in the highest degree right that whenever possible the public should give the loudest voice to its gratitude and praise.A public dinner is the received method of doing this ; whether the best or not we need not discuss.Those have done well who have seen their way clear to givb the retiring mayor such an Ovation, as, to use the words of Archbishop Bruchesi, has not before been given to the mayor of any Canadian city.One good thing which was brought about by this dinner was due to the archbishop himself, whose presence at it was sn innovation of good omen.So- cigl segregation of race and creed bas been too much the rule.The archbishop has frowned upon this, and smiled on a mixed gathering of citizens, Another great service rendered by this dinner was the occasion it gave for the utterance of great sentiments by the Premier of the Dominion, who used words which, if they may not live in history, because the sentiments uttered will be the commonplaces of the future, are his- tory-making, in that they give expression to a great movement which has till now been going on without finding expression.\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014_ The Ontario Government\u2019s receiving sioh of feeling against the Lord\u2019s Day Act, now before the Ontario Legislature,.somewhat recalling that which took: place once in Ephesus when certain\u2019 craftsmen grew wild over the loss of busi-' ness which they thought would follow the spread of Christianity.In this case not one interest only, but half a dozen were present, each declaring that this law was aimed at it.The purpose of the act was to extend to companies the, limitations which now rule with indi-; viduals by providing penalties which would meet their case.One of the most\u2019 unwholesome things in modern legislation is to: accord to companies which gui mere figments of law greater privileges: and liberties in any direction that \u2018Are enjoyed by Her Majesty's subjects as men and women.There should be differences made, no doubt, between the living citizen and the dead hand, as the old law called the corporation ; but the differences should be against the soulless one.Certainly, any legislation calculated to remove any difference in favor of the dead hand is in the highest degree wholesome.The instincts of the Ephesian silversmiths, who foresaw that the Pauline Christianity\u2014we cannot say the same of all kinds that have developed since\u2014would in the long run wipe out the trade in silver shrines, were more correct than those of the corporations which think that business is going to suffer from Sabbath observance, which in the long run it will not.Even the poor employees of some of these companies, in whose interest the bill was compiled, were on hand, both by petition and by representation, to obstruct its passage.That their attitude does not represent the free judgment of the working men is shown by the fact that the Trades and Labor Council was present by deputation to support the bill.rite The education bill has been with little consideration and no ceremony thrown out by the Legislative Council.The real reason for the council\u2019s action was that the measure was a Liberal one, and the majority of the council happen to be Conservatives.The council is not an elective and is only nominally a representative body, and therefore the fact that the educational policy of the government had been sanctioned at the polls by the electors, and that as embodied in the bill it had the support of the overwhelming majority of the recently elected representatives of the people, had no weight with it.The majority of the councillors represent the Taillons, the Flynns, the Angers, and the rést: of the Ultramontane reactionaries, who are out of touch with the people of the province, and who are opposed to all progress.In the Legislative Council they are sheltered from the fate which has overtaken those who created them.They can for a time defy the government and the people.But only for a time ; their obstruction will soon disappear, and in the meantime public ppin- jon will be growing stronger and stronger against the obscurantism which they DAILY WITNESS.are called jn Europe the most \u2018intellectually talented of all races ; the people of Quebec, who are fully their equals intellectually, object to being distin- gitished from the rest of the people of the Dominion by their illiteracy.They object to being handicapped in the race of life \u2018by their inferior educational equipment.It may be in the interests of Custorism that progress in educational matters\u2018 should be obstructed ; it is for Conservative leaders to know what serves their party.But though progress may be for a time stayed, it cannot be altogether blocked ; the forces which make for advance will gather stréngth all the more rapidly for the obstruction, and will all the sooner \u2018sweep away all that has ite strength in obscurantism and ignorance.\u2014 ALDERMANIC CANDIDATES.The prospects of improvements in our civic conditions through the coming elee- tions are not altogether bright.Those offering themsélves to replace aldermen whose term is out, are in mast cases dis tinetly of the wrong class, and their election would be a step in the wrong direction.In this list we must place Mr.Cochrane, the contractor.Mr.Coch- rane has been a very active politician in the minor walks of that calling, and has in that way an electoral experience and connection which make him very strong, whatever may be his merits as a candidate.He has the \u2018pull,\u2019 and will have the support of the \u2018interests.\u2019 He has nursed St.Lawrence Ward go solicitously and so long that he now accounts it a thing of his own.He has been a kingmaker in it, and now he wants to take possession himself.He will think himself very much injured if he is not allowed to.Yet Mr.Cochrane was defeated by Mr.Harper at the last election, and will, we hope, be defeated by Mr.Clearihue at the coming one.Mr.Coch- rane has been a very successful promoter of civic contracts.Let us take those of the Sicilian Asphalt Company, of which Mr.Cochrane has been a very active and most fortunate member.That company has been singled out Ly the aldermen more than onee for favors which have cost the city many thousands of dollars more than necessary.The records show that on Oct.13, 1891, after the most vigorous denunciation by the minority of the council, that company was given a\u201c r= formality of calling for tenders, though it was plainly set forth that it was at a rate from twenty-five to fifty percent higher than the price that would have been paid had tenders been called.Again, on July 28, 1893, the same company got a contract that was thousands of dollars dearer to the city than the Warren- Scharf Company actually tendered to do it at.When those contracts were in question Mr.Cochrane was ever to be found in the shadow of the civic palace.Mr.Clearihue, who has never sought position of any kind, bas been induced to come out by the good government inter- esis.He wae a prominent member of the Edwardsburg Starch Company, but is now retired.It ie a right principle that the office should seek the man rather than the man the office.ft, Lawrence Ward should have no difficulty in choosing between two such candidates.BEDFORD RURAL DEANERY.The annual meeting of the Rural Deanery of Bedford was held at Abbots ford on Jan.5.The meeting opened with the celebration of the holy com- munjon in St.Paul\u2019s Church in the morning.The members met for business in the vestry, in the afternoon.Those present were the Rev.Rural Dean Nye, of Bedford; Mr.N.A.Bourne, of Dun- ham; Mr.R.Emmett, of Milton; Mr.W.I.Waterson and Mr.B.B.Standish, Rougemont; the Rev.H.E.Horsy and Mr.Chas Fisk, Abboteford.The report for the'past year from the various parishes in the Deanery was read.A motion of sympathy with the Rev.Canon Mussen, in his illness, was passed by the Deanery.The members present »s- pressed their desire to co-operzte with the Rev.Mr.Gomery in the work which\" he has undertaken in connection with the Society for the Promotion of Christian Knowledge.The members of St.Pauls Church were pleasantly surprised on Sunday last, when the rector announced that a cheque had been received from Mrs.Robinson, \u2018Mrs.E.Buzzell and Mr.Edward Robinson, amounting to a hundred and fifty dollars, towards the endowment fund of the parish.MURDERED BY INDIANS.New York, Jan.13\u2014The \u2018 World\u2019 has the following

afternoon, the question of the North Atlantic Winter Load Line occupied the early part of the session.In the matter of the memorial to the Imperial Government the Deputy Minister of Marine had requested the council to ascertain from the steamship interest how far south they considered the discriminating line should be drawn north of which vessels rust load to this line.The council referred the Deputy Minister's letter to the shipping interest and the Murine Underwriters\u2019 Associa- in the opinion \u2018that there ghould be but one winter load line for the entire Norlh Atlantic.The shipping interest, however, ovisidered that either of the following suggestions would tend to remove the unfair disability now resting on Canadian shipping: 1.That only vessels from ports om tlhe Gulf of Mexico should be so favored, thus excluding vessels from ports north thereof 2.That the line should be drawn at Cape Hatteras.Mr.Henry Miles submitted a very full report with regard to the duty, under the government regulations, respecting al- | cohol, the recommendations of which were concurred in by Mr, David Watson.The matter being full of technicalities, the council refrained from endorsing the report, but ordered that it be communicated to the government.The position of the city bill at Quebec received aftteation, the council unanimously endorsing the position taken by Mr.Bickerdike in opposing the expropria- ticn claims included therein, and reaffirmed the view expressed in its tele- be withdrawn, than that it should pass a8 amended by the committee.Mr.E.L.Bond, who had just returned from epending two days im Ottawa, reported the result of interviews with the different ministers there, to the effect that, regarding the Admiralty Court, there was a very fair prospect of a branch court being established in Montreal.He was well pleased with the appointment of a pilot commission, and, when in Ottawa, he had obtained permiesion that the commission should also enquire into the buoys and lights between Montreal and Quebec.Satisfactory assurances were given regarding the improvements in the lower St.Lawrence, fixed lights at wome the \u2018most important places being changed to revolving lights as soon as practicable and the extension and improvement of the fog eignale.The Kingston Board of Trade had communicated a copy of a resolution adopted by it respecting the need, in the interests of the trade of that port and the export trade via Montreal, of ite harbor being at once improved, and requesting the co-op- eration of the Montreal Board of Trade in bringing the matter to the attention of the Minister of Public Works at Ottawa.It was decided that the request be acceded to.Professor Alex.Johnson communicated a copy of the Royal Society's petition for a survey of tidal currents and the organization of a hydrographic survey department, and asked the council for representation on the deputation to Ottawa that will present the petition.In view of the circumstance that the council might not be in office when the petition was presented, action in the matter was deferred.In view of the circumstances that before many months have elapsed, it is expected that the St.Lawrence canals will be available for vessels drawing fourteen feet, and that the river channel has never been examined with a view to accommodating vessels of that draught it was resolved that the Mingster of Public Works be memorialized at an early date, asking that the river channel between Prescott and Lachine be examined and \u2018swept, 80 that any obstructions might be discovered and removed before causing accidents to inland craft.As usual at this date, the council suspended from voting privileges at the forthcoming annual elections all members in arrears for one year, and ordered, that, after notification, all membership certificates on which there were two years\u2019 dues, should be cancelled.The remainder of a very lengthy ees sion waa occupied by considering the balance of the draft paragraphs for the council\u2019s annual report.There will probably be only two more meetings of the present council\u2014one this week; to receive the treasurer\u2019s audited statement of accounts, on which the a ditor, Mr.George Creak, is now engaged, and the other next Wednesday's regular meeting.SLIPPERY ROADWAYS.The common expression to-day

MR.O'HARA.Despite the inclemency of the weather yesterday afternoon a large number of well-known citizens paid their last tribute of respect to the late Mr.John O\u2019Hars by attending his funeral, which took place at half-past two o'clock from the General Hospital.In the new mortuary chapel, which.though simply fitted up, presents a decent appearance consolatory to the relatives of deceased patients, the remains were placed, beautiful floral offerings.the gifts of the hackmen and the employees at the Grand Trunk station, covering the coffin.The Ven.Archdeacon Frans read \u2018the beautiful funeral service of the Church of England in a most impressive manner, and announced that he would in his own church have something to say next Sunday about one whom he had known intimately for a quarter of a century.tion, both of which organizations agreed | Before the remains were removed, rail- \"way and business men fell into groups and discussed the many kindly traits which marked the character of the de- ceesed, especially his readiness to serve the convenience of the public, his tender solicitude for the poor immigrants, together with his quick wit and his relish, in the off moment, for philosophical discussions, which proved him to have a mind above the mechanical routine of his duties.The chief mourners were Mr.TO\u2019Hars, brother, and Mr.James O'Hara, cousin of the deceased.Among those who followed the remains to the cemetery were Mesars.C.Drinkwater (secretary of the C.P.R.) ; G.T.Bell, asais- tant passenger agent, Grand Trunk; DO.Pease, district passenger

the Bible House on Thursday, Jan.6, and was well attended.In the absence of the president, Mr.S.Finley, the treasurer, occupied the chair.The final report of the Rev.H.Gom- ery, retiring district secretary, was received and read.He thanked the committee for the courtesy, confidence and assistance which had been given to him during his five years of service.During the month he had organized a new branch at Norwood, and had reorganized the work at St.Laurent and Cote St.Paul.He reported that the total free contributions for the year amounted to $6,412, and that the total value of his sales for the same period was $1,188 The Rev.Thomas Bennett, Mr.Gomery\u2019s successor, is getting into harness, and the prayers of the committee go with him for his success.During December there were six

were read from Mr.D.A.Carrey, president Dominion Trades and Labor Congress ; Mr.R.Smith, Nanaimo, B.C.; Mr.Geo.Bartley, Vancouver ; Mr.J.Appleton, Winnipeg.The first toast offered was \u2018 The Order,\u2019 to which Mr, S.Fitzpatrick duly responded.It was very pleasing, he remarked, to respond to the toast of the Knights of Labor, and still more 80 on account of the hearty manner in which it was received : by thay large -sathering- present.Byven- ty-nine years ago the founded by Mr.Uriah Stevens, in the city of Philadelphia, for the purpose of uniting all classes of workmen, without distinction, into one common\u2019 fold.Today it has its branches all over the world.No organization has labored more to emancipate the toilers, and the proof is everywhere shown how nobly they have done their work.Look at the condition of the workingman to-day and at what it was when the order was \u2018ounded.To-day in several parts of tie globe they have their representatives in the legislatures.The Knights had been fighting several battles in this city «lrrady, and meant to continue in the vgitation for reform until they succeeded.Mr.George Warren also responded, urging the necessity of organization and c¢dueation until the men were made to sce th they were men.Dominion Assembly, the Senior As- tly of the Province,\u2019 was the next toast, which brought Mr.R.Keys to his i.Dominion Assembly praises had :ecn sounded so ofiten, he said, he scarce- iz knew what to say.Fifteen years ago to-night old Dominion was founded, and he noticed charter members present who still remained true to the principles \u2018of the order.Dominion Assembly was well lnown in labor circles, as their delegates attended ali the labor congresses held in the Dominion and the United States, and always Look a lading part in the battles that had been fought to uplift poor humanity.A desperate attempt was made at one time to wreck Dominion Assembly but the staunch members stood true and eave it.To-day it is in a very flourishing condition.i Mr.8.Owens then sang the \u2018Song of the Rose,\u2019 after which the toast of the \u2018Central Trades and Labor Council\u2019 was replied to by Mr.D.Verdon, vice- president of that body, who stated that he always felt at home when he attended the banquet of the Dominion Assembly, as their delegates to \u2018the council were great fighters, always bringing up something for the benefit of the working classes.Mr.P.C.Chalet also responded.He paid a strong compliment to Dominion.ile referred to reforms secured by the Central Trades and Labor Council, stating that that body would contique to strive for the benefit of the working classes.Labor organizations were stead- iv Increasing in numbers and influence, «nd would soon get the attention of our iislators in an unmistakable manner.Mr.D.Morgan then enlivened the pro- + wedings with a song, after which \u2018Qur f ests\u201d wae honored amid the eingin \u2018They are jolly good fellows.\u2019 he \u201c-ausoleïl was called to respond.He La by saying that if he \u2018had had his «nice between two banquets, the Knights \u201c Labor and the Mayor's, he would have rm the former, because he believed \u2018ere was considerably mere to learn hera than there.The men who assisted »t this banquet were in touch with the people who had to work for a living and were better able to

when the working classes should reward their friends and punish their enemies, He also remarked that the infamoms law proposed by a member of the Quebeo Legislature to levy a special tax on tenants showed how necessary it was for every man who worked to help in the grand work of organization, in which the Knights of Labor were engaged.He congratulated them on the large increase during the past year and spoke etrongly in favor of abolition of \u2018property qualifications for aldermen, saying that the time had come for the wiping out of this unjust law.\u201cHe could safely say not a fifth of the aldermen were qualified.The City Cour oil played with the question and laughed at the working people by introducing side issues and preventing the matter from coming squarely before the legislature.He claimed that once a man was possessed of the confidence of the electors that should be considered qualification enough without tre- thoomod.-dolldce\u2019 wordh-of ' snd.mortar.» che

they had no one to blame for the present state of affairs but themselves, - Mr.F.B.McNamee was \u201ccalled upon, and made a very appropriate address.He kaid it was the first occasion on which he had had the honor of being present at a K.of L.banquet.Although he had been invited several times, he was al- \u2018ways out of the city or otherwise engaged, but he had made it a point to be present this evening.The Knights of Labor had a great deal to contend with, and he admired the manner in which they fought for their rights.Their or ganization did not believe in strikes.The way they worked to get their wrongs redressed was by arbitration, apd be as a contractor never yet had a strike on the many public works he carried on.The way to get their rights was by contipually rapping at the doors of the legislatures, which must eventually listen to them.He counselled them to keep on as they were doing, to be always sober, and by this means they would gain the respect of the community at.large.He had carefully followed the rapid strides of their organization for a number of years, and had noticed what they had achieved throughout the country.If they continued on the same lines they were sure to prosper.Mr.McNamee spoke strongly in favor of the G.T.R.building their offices on Victoria square, and not put the city to the expense of $250,000.OL rm toma | 26 down.\u201d Mr.H.W.Lareau also responded.He was present there as a butcher, and he was pleased to be associated with so many wotkingmen, as their interests were his.It was really a splendid cause, and if he were a member of any legislature he would undoubtedly work in their interests.Mr.L.PYO'Brien stated that nothing pleased him more than when he got an irvitation to be present on an occasion like this.He had read the constitution of the K.of L., and strongly believed in their motto, \u2018An injury to one is the concern of ali.\u2019 An organization that takes into its ranks the man who works at the most menial occupation and treats him just the same as the artist, must be respected.Theirs was a noble work, and any man with any thinking ability should belong to their ranks.Mr.Taylor, on being called, sang \u2018Dcnnybrook.\u2019 \u2018Our sister assemblies and unions\u2019 was rcxt toasted, Mr.O.Belanger respond- irg.Asa member of the Bricklayers\u2019 Union he took a great deal of interest in the Krights of Labor on account of the manly fight they made in their battles.He would lik: to sze them discuss politics more at their meetings.There was no question but that they had the power in their hands, and if they used it properly they would not have the scenes that they had at present in the Quebec Legislature.They should work to get their own men there, and thën he tbought they would be a unit and get what they wanted.Mr.A.Friedlander spoke briefly, urging upon all organizations to unite and work for the abolition of property qualification.Mr.U.Lafontaine, the veteran in labor circles, dwelt at length upon the necessity.of organization.Keep on, he said, in conclusion, to organize, agitate #nd educate, and in the course of time the victory would be theirs.He was followed by Mr.H.Gravel, District Master Workman.Mr.W.Keys then spoke at length to the toast of \u2018Sister Assemblies and Union Workingmen, They should not, he said, be divided by petty jeaousies.He knew that the bodies proper were pot, but a few for their own aggrandizement kept up petty quarrels.The sooner thase people were relegated to the rear the better it would be for all concerned.Mentioning the fight geing on in Quebec over the Montreal bill, he thought it was a disgrace to say that our representatives down there could not g agree, and endeavor to put the blame on members from rural districts.What, he went on to ask, was the condition of our city a few years ago?It was nothing better than a mud hole.-To- day we have beautiful streets and sidewalks.And we want more, we want every street in the city paved, and mot only the streets, but the back yards, and then we would not have the continual cry about diseases that infest this city.Lock at the miserdble bovels that people ferred to.the etatute labor tax fight and | stated that he was on the side of \u201cthe |p, CArTyng land forty-three percent of lead.tertaining atill they refuse to pay the poor tabor- er what he is justly entitled to.Such is the cose with the men employed ab the ineinerator, What was the reason?It was because they were not represented in the council, and they never would be until they abolished property qualifies | tions.\u2018That agitation is being: worked up, and at the next session of the Quebec Legislature a demand would be made for its omission from the civic charter.He dwelt on the cry raised about giving Seng Victoria, square.Why do not pag jee ped props séuères pu lon for the huñdreds of SAS nt ie who congregate on them; \u2018end quoted St.Patrick squere, south of Wal- lington bridge.If the Grand Trunk want the Dominion square they can have ib \u2018so far as we mre concerned.He sat down amid a storm of applause.Mr.Donton then sang, \u2018 The toilere\u2019 rest.\u201d The chairman announced that he would invite the aldermen who had just entered to make a few remarks, and each of them spoke briefly and to the point.The \u2018 Land the heritage of the people,\u2019 was responded to by Messrs.L.:Z.Boud- reau and B.Feeny.\u2018The Ladies\u2019 had an admirer ip Mr.P.Sullivan, \u2018who spoke as to the advisability \u2018of using \u2018the best efforts to organize them.The \u2018Press\u2019 was ably responded to by Mr.Jabelle and Mr.J.Guthrie.Mr.F.B.McNamee toasted the chairman, and one of the pleasantest, evenings that \u2018 Dominion\u2019 ever had was bromght to à close by the singing of \u2018Auld Lang.Syne.\u2019 ONTARIO SUPPLEMENTARY ESTIMATES.AMOUNT TO ABOUT A QUARTER ' oF A MILLION, AND WILL BE WELL EXPENDED.Toronto,

CITY'S PAST HISTORY.St.Hyacinthe, Jan.13.\u2014Through the courtesy of Mr, R.D.Deschenes, city clerk, your correspondent is able to lay before your readers the following facts and figures contained in the annual report which is soon to be submitted to the council.Mr.Deschenes\u2019s report is more than usually interesting pa be takes a rutrospective -giasice at the \u2018city cover ing a period of twenty-five years, a0 that the progress can be easily ascertained.It will be remenfbered \u2018hat a quarter of a century ago the city was almost completely destroyed by fire, In half a century St.Hyacinthe has had but seven mayors, Mr.Dessailles, M.P.P., having occupied the position for a period of twenty-four years.The increase in the population has been eom- paratively rapid, being im 1871, 8,746, and at the present time about ten thousand, so that it has nearly trebled in twenty- five years.During the same period reel estate has increased in value from $713,- 335 to 38,072,525, of which over a third is non-texable property.Among the institutions which are exemptfrom taxation are the post-office, valued at $25,000; the Hotel inca monastery, valded\u2019 af 225,090 Notre Dame Church, valiied at $50,080: the Cathedral, valued at $65,000; the college, valued at $125,000; the Presbyterian Church, valued at $10,500; ¢he E.T.cowset factory, valued at $15,000; the convent of La Presentation, valued at 260,- 000.The non-taxable property has increased more rapidly in value than the taxable property.The present bonded debt of the city is $485,000.St.Hyaeinthe is far from having exhausted its borrowing powers, for twenty percent of its taxable property would enable ¥ to borrow $300,000 more.to manufactures as the following will show: In 1883 # granted a bonus of $14, 000 to Seguin & Lalime, boot and shoe manufacturers; in\u2019 1887, $15,000 to E.F.Moseley & Co.; in 1891, $15,000 to E.T.Corset Factory ; in 1894, $60,000 to Granite Mills ; in 1897, $15,000 to Se- guin & Lalime, H is claimed that the rate of taxation is lower in St.Hyacinthe than in any other city of the Dominion.Ever since the incorporation of the city in 1850 the municipal tax has been fifty cente per | \u2018hundred dollars, while in other cities it ia never less thin sixty cents and often |more.À special tax is also levied in other places for the repairing of sidewalks, which tax is unknown here.\u2014\u2014 een CHANGES IN COPYRIGHT LAW.Washington, Jan.12\u2014Chairman Hicks, introduced three bills proposing important changes as to patentes \u2018and copy: right.\u201d One of these is of

given more instructions to our creameries and cheese factories and made a finer quality of both than in any former season.Our exporte from Montreal from May 1 to Nov.20, 1897 were 220,200 packages of butter, against 157,321 in 1896, During the same period we exported 2,- 100,000 boxes of cheese or an increase gf 370,000 over 1896, a gain in money pf $2,- 500,000, and for butter and cheese together $3,250,000.mor& then during the same period in 1896.I have carefully escumated our make of butter and cheese for all of 1897 and I am sure our dairymen in this country will realize twenty million dollare, or four million dollars more than last year.QUESTION OF THE DAY.We sincerely believe that the greatest question before us to-day is cheaper production and our board recognizing this has dome all in its power to keep this one subject beiore our friends.Better cows, cheaper milk of a batter quality, at less cost should be nimed at by every farmer in Ontario.We have everything t ee aur Vi Bn J Be rie Minister of Ari} : pooper, an Bile A ur every pme amer attending -~our conventions, enlarging our dairy schools, adding to them the very latest and best machinery and giving us a liberal grant, so that we could carry on our work of education and instruction with greater efficiency.The Hon.Mr.Fisher, Dominion Minister of Agriculture, has carried out his promise and given us refrigerator cars on our railways andsapartments spe aially fitted up on our steamships for carrying our dairy products safely to the British market.There is one mrore point I should like to say something on, and that is gelling regularly.I candidly believe that the great mistake of 1897 was holding our produce off the market, expecting to force prices up, instead of keeping every one of our customers supplied weekly.When we finally did get ready to .sell our product had deteriorated in quality and did rot give the satisfaction our weekly shipments earlier in the season did.T believe our friends will remedy this the coming season.OTHER SPEAKERS.Mr.W.J.Palmer, of Toronto, a graduate of the Ontario Agricultural College gave an extremely interesiing talk reia tive to the care of dairy cave and the production of a superior article of butter.He condemned the feeding of tyr- nips and said that no matter wnat taint buuter had it was all set down to turnips.His advice was to feed the dairy cattle the right kind ot feed and with proper care the yield would be satistac- tory.Mr.John Gould, of Aurora, Ill., who followed, was introduced ar Derby- shire, as Lone, J ?the man who bad.mode ina co poor cattle A TE ;

Bring her to-night, then, by all means; good-by till then.\u2019 And as he went on his way amid the busy streets, the doctor thought of a time, not perhaps so very far off now, when with love, and friends, and plenty all around, he, too, should keep his w«dding day.And it mey be that as he thought, the joy in his own heart was none the less intense and sacred because there came mingling with it a remembrance of some of the chastening possibilities of life, and a feeling of kindly sympathy with some other travellers on its road for whom the end of the journey together could not be far distant now.Left alone with his wife, Timothy seated himself beside her, and patted her hand encouragingly.\u2018 Hospitals are such fine places, Moll.\u2019 \u2018Very fine, dear,\u201d and she looked at him with the made life brick te HIRE, Sone Jind, \u2018 Such splendid food and nursing, Moll; and the room! why, I'm only afraid you'll be looking down on this poor little place when you come back to it after a bit, so well and strong; for it\u2019s wonderful how well folks do get in those hospitals, Moll, quite wonderful.\u2019 \u2018Yes, Timothy, so they do, very often.\u2019 Her lips trembled, but only for a moment.Then, with a brave attempt at cheerfulness, she continued : But, Tim, my man, it's getting on, and we're wasting such precious time ; shan\u2019t we begin ?And drawing nearer still, Timothy be- can.It was an old, old custom with them now.Year after year, as the day came round, they had kept it together in the same simple fashion, though never before in such a room or with so little tr help the keeping.Formerly the little anniversary festival had been us a sort * happy duet between them, each in turn reviving some sweet old memory or cherished recollection, the precious gleanings of a long married life, too dear and sacred for the common handling of avery- day use, and only lovingly and tenderly brought out on such a day as this to be dwelt on, laughed at, ay, perhaps wept over, too, but with those blessed nd healing tears from which all pain and bitterness have long since passed away.To-day, however, Timothy had it all his own way, for Molly said little, only lay back and smiled contentedly, or zhook her head gently, as the case demanded, while she listened once more to the old familiar story that time only seemed to make more dear.And Timothy told of the happy courting days\u2014happy, though wise folks had shaken their heads and had augured ill of this foolish marriage ; of a certain \\pril morning when a dull old London hurch had seemed so still and solemn, \"À yet so strangely bright; of the \u2018riends\u2014and he called them one by one who had collected at her home near + to wish them well ; and at last of \u2018at real home-coming, the settling down the poor little attic rooms which his ve and thought had made so sweet and sug and cosy.\u2018And the violets,\u201d she put in quickly, \" n't forget the violets, Tim.\u2019 \"Ave, the violets, I pinned them on my- .didn't I?The sweetest breast \u201cnt I could find for the sweetest lass in \u2018he world to me.\u2019 He paused again and she watched him +nly, anxiously, \u2018Yes, Moll,\u201d he resumed presently, \"n't let us shirk it, old girl ; then\u2014\u2019 © his voice sounded strange, and she \"1 barely catch the words, \u2018then came © grand first dinner party of ours; : and me for guests, and fish\u2014fried it was, with potatoes\u2014fried pota- and I don't know what besides ; ! vou laughed so because I couldn\u2019t to cook them, do you remember, \u201c1° Do you remember # and throw- © back his head, Timothy burst sud- \u201civ into a laugh so strange and wild that it \"| nigh tore poor Molly\u2019s heart RE SA via rei od .only asked if she minded being left by buried his face in his hands and sobbed &s though his heart must break, while the quiet tears ran down her old cheeks, too, and what could she may to comfort him ?For nine-and-thirty years that little anniversary feast had been celebrated so worthily, every item of that happy first meal together repeated, and now ! \u2018Oh, my Moll, my Moll,\u2019 he sobbed, \u2018you must go without it to-day.I\u2019ve no money left, not even a penny ; poor girl, my poor old girl.\u2019 She dared not trust herself to speak, only stroked the grey head softly, tenderly.Suddenly he raised it, and looking not at her but at the doctors shilling, he pointed eagerly to if.\u2018Moll I\u2019 But she shook her head sadly.\u2018It was for the cab, Tim.There is neither train nor \u2019bus to help me, and I must go in, you know.\u2019 He sat still once more lost in thought.Then jumping up excitedly, he stood before her, and spoke fast and eagerly.\u2018Moll | think!

The child\u2019s voice was full of awe.\u2018It\u2019s the Governors, and you know he mightn\u2019t like it.\u2019 Her voice was scarce above a whisper as she slipped noiselessly from her chair and stood by the Governor, gazing into the room with wide-open eyes.\u201cWe might go in, don\u2019t you think ?\u201d busily at work;
