continuance of the same, CANADA.Ottawa, Sept.29.\u2014A child 3 years old, named Naderlonte, was burned to death last evening in lower town.She was playing with matches, hence the accident.Unknown parties have on several occasions of late placed obstacles on the line of the Canadian Pacific Railway near St Scholastique.One was discovered on the 17th of August, another exactly a month later, and again on last Saturday night a number of ties and rails were found lying across the track about a mile and a half east of the village.Montreal, Sept.26.\u2014A meeting of cotton-mill agents in vain attempted to devise some plan for raising the price of the product.The mills that arc working make no profit, and unless +{ prices can be put up there must be an entire shutting till the glut of the market shall cease.Bishop Fabre, assessed for $4,000 on account of Dominion Square, has instructed his lawyers to protest against the charge in virtue of a statute passed in 1876 whereby archbishops, bishops, clericals, and presbyters are exempted from all ordinary or special taxes.Quebec, Sept.25.\u2014The parish of St Aime, in the county of Richelieu, has just suffered severely by fire.Fanned by a terribly violent wind, the destroying element was carried as à torrent of flame from one end of the village to the other.A dozen houses were reduced to ashes, and several of their occupants only escaped with difficulty.A number of barns and other outbuildings, with their contents, were also destroyed, including a large quantity of live stock.In compliance with an order issued by the General Superintendent of the Grand Trunk Railway, all the resident Montreal conductors running between Toronto and Montreal were transferred to the route from the city to Point Levis and Portland, Me.This action, it:is stated, was decided on the grounds that the conductors are in the habit of allowing too many friends to ride free thus diminishing the revenue of the company in no small measure.Winnipeg, Sept.24.\u2014Until a day or two ago the month of September had been a very wet one here, and the farmers have more than once been gloomy over their harvest prospects.The weather providentially settled before a great amount of harm was done, and there is now good ground to that tho remainder of the standing crops will gathered in a fairly satisfactory state.The wet weather is reported to have caused some of the wheat to sprout, but I believe the injury from that and from all other causes will leave only a small percentage of loss.The worst result of the long continued rains will be the prevention of fall ploughing.The harvest was long delayed, and many farmers are now working at that when they should be getting ready for next year's sowing.The ground is also very damp and soft in many places, ro much so that ploughing is out of the question.ton fall fair Sir John Macdonald said that while Canadian cattle were allowed to be taken into England alive, not a head could be landed from the United States.Owing to the prevalence of the foot and mouth disease in some parts of that country strenuous efforts had been made by the United States to have the English market open to their cattle, a number of English capitalists who had settled in Wyoming and other parts using their influence to remove the embargo.He very little aym- pa hy with these English capitalists, as they could have found just as good lands for settlement in our own Northwest, and by settling there would have had all the advan now ours, It would be of advantage to adien railways to have the embargo against American cattle removed, as they woul get the benefit of à large amount 0 for carryi em to the seaboard, but it would not be much to our gain should the disease be thus brought into Canads, as we would then lose the exportation trade we now enjoy.Ib was on account of this risk that the government of Canada refased to allow American cattle to be F hen ill be et Moir's, Munéiagdon.Ofies: Next door to R N.Walth's store, Ormetons brought through Cabadian territory.Addressing his constituents at County Carle- P® boys\u2019 performances in the horse ring proved so attractive that despite the drenching rain the whole crowd on the grounds, incjudi ladies, stood for over an hour under water-proofs and umbrellas watching the novel sights.The skill of the chief of the cowboys with his rifle simply created amazement.His repeater was discharged with scarcely a second\u2019s intermission at apples thrown into the air, sometimes to a height of fifty or sixty feet.Such extraordinary rifle exploits had never been seen in the city.Although sixty apples were thrown up, all but five or six were split by the cowboys bullets and burst into fragments amid tremendous cheering from the thousands of spectators.Silver coins thrown up fared the same way, the bullet piercing them every time.Then in full gallop on his mustang the cowboy careered along, rarely missing the apple as he dashed under its exploding fragments.Two apples in the air at one time made no difference, almost every time they were split into fragments.Then followed the riding of balky Indian mustangs which would not be mounted.Several of them had to have their eyes bandaged before they would allow a rider to mount ; when the mount- vid ing was effected the uncontrollable little brutes would gallop, kick, bite, leap in the air and land with their legs rigid so that the drivers were well shaken up if they escaped being tossed off, which was the case in several instances.Lassoing cattle was the most exciting part of the programme.About ten of the most unmanageable steers in the country round had been turned into thering,and were followed round and round by the cowboys on horseback, who, by dexterous throwing of their ropes generally succeeded in lassoing the animals.When an animal was lassoed he was secured by the cowboy driving round the animal so as to entangle it with the rope, when a sudden jerk would bring the eap- tured beast to the ground ; sometimes ox, horse, and rider all fell and rolled in the scuffle.A brown stcer created amusement by the way in which he wheeled face to face with the cowboy, whenever the latter moved.The steer could not be tripped when thus at bay.Lassoing horse and driver was also dexterously done.Advices from Battleford report that & serious accident has occurred on the Canadian Pacific Railway at the second crossing of Kicking Horse pass, in the Rocky Mountains.An engine, especially fitted for work on steep grades in the mountains, was taking down two car loads of material.The grade is one of the steapest in America.being 238 feet in the mile.The engine got beyond control and rushed down the grade at a speed of tbirty miles an hour.As the place was known to be dangerous, one spur of track had been built eo that in case of an accident such as this the train might run upon it instead of upon the bridge below, which was in course of construction.At the end of the spur is a big rock, on which the engine ran and was shivered into a thousand pieces.On the train were about seventy workmen going out to the front, and as the train rushed down the incline they thought to save themselves b jumping.Unfortunately they alightedon roug ground and rocks, and nearly every one received more or less injury in the Say of broken arms, legs and ribs and severe bruises.One of the sufferers, a Swede, was so injured that his leg had to be amputated, and he has since died.Out of the whole number who were on the train only five orsix, who did not attempt to jump, escaped from injury., The falling off in Quebec's shipping trade this year is estimated at 100,000 tons in sailing vessels alone, It is announced that the following tariff of rates has been adopted by the hotelkeepers of Halton since the defeat of the petition to repeal the Scott Act :\u2014Board per day, $2; per meal, 50 cents ; one horse, hay over night, 50 cents ; one horse, hay and stable, one day, 40 cents; one horse in shed or stable, 10 cents ; water for horse, 10 cents.UNITED STATES.Somo of the starch factories in this

flame, consuming everything within its reach.The excitement was intense and the firemen, sailors and others went heroically to save property and subdue the flames, Several ships and \u201ctwo steamers were burned and a dozen persona killed or injured before the fire was under control.The loss will reach several million roubles.Dublin, Sept.24.\u2014Patrick Cole, an informer in the trial of 13 prisoners charged with conspiracy to murder Wm Smyth, has made affidavit declaring that the evidence ho gave, which in a measure secured the conviction of 6 of the accused, was concocted, that he was paid for it and coached by the prosecution.This recantation was made in the presence of three priests, who proposed to impeach the evidence on which the accused were convicted.Dublin, Oct.2.\u2014A meeting of the Irish National League was held here yesterday.Mr Timothy Harrington, secretary ofe the league, stated that owing to the smaliness of the subscriptions received the league had decided to

for ten years an inmate of the poor-house, and by bis own unaided exertions has since worked his way up to his present position as the most enterprising and intrepid of living explorers, in addition to his fame as a lively and interesting writer.His story is an admirable iccentive to youthful ambition under untoward circumstances.Jews in Jerusalem were until lately a few hundred families, who had

its last four years created a deficit of £7,330,000, The Gladstone Government for the samo period reports a surplus of £1,550,000, During the four years referred to the Beaconsfield Government paid off £10,904,000 of national debt, while the Government of Mr Gladstone during the t four years has reduced the debt by £25,024,000.- An important exploring and surveying expedition, despatched to Greeniand by the D government, recently concluded its labors, whic are said to have been most satisfactory.The gunboat Fylia, with the exploring party, touched at the Orkneys early during the past month, and the information was obtained that the voyage, occupying over four mouths, had extended to 70 degrees north latitude.The acien- tific work included glacier exploration, dredging, and meteorological observations.Among the specimens brought up by the dredge were many hitherto unknown.The greatest depth attained was 900 fathoms.The collections in botany, mineralogy and zoology, are interesting and valuable.Among them is a meteoric stone said to weigh about 2,000 lbs.The details of the expedition will soon be published and will add much, it is believed, to what is already known of the waters and shores of Greenland.The British government hasdecided on adding a camel corps to the Khartoum expedition, and 900 picked men have been sent.Each man will ride, like the mounted infantry, at the back of a native driver, whose assistance in the management of the animals is indispensable.Besides the two men the camel will carry a good load of baggage, and probably one of the 12} gallon tanks of water.It having been pointed out that the india-rubber bags, as usually made, impart an unpleasant taste to the food and water which they may contain, an order was given for 40,000

is in every detail marked by liberality.The deplorable influence of alcoholism is apparent in mental and moral deterioration, as well asin its physical results.Dr Norman Kerr comments upon its perversion of the higher feelings, and says: \u201cIf there is one feature which more than another is characteristic of the dipsomaniac, it is that of untruthfulness.Habitual excessive indulgence in strong drink would turn the most truthful person in this assembly into an unblushing liar, Nor is this all.If he wore to forswcar his cups and become a consistent abstainer, it would long ere he recovered if he ever did completely recover, his former ower to speak the truth, and to discriminate tween the false and the true.\u201d He adds: \u201cThis utter overthrow of the truthful sense is especially marked in women,\u201d Inthe confirmed dipsomaniac the worst results, of course, are seen ; but there is no doubt that many of the moral and social delinquencies, which cause untold suffering on the part of those whom they immediately or remotely affect, have their root and source in the demoralizing influence of alcohol, even in quantities conventionally deemed moderate, upon the brain, the mind, and the heart.In total abstinence alone is there the highest wisdom and safety.When the rains come in the Autumn millions of salmon crowd into the mouths of rivers on the Pacific Coast.Charles E.Whitehead, of New York, in describing a recent visit to one of these streams, says :\u2014\u201cThey were so Slosely packed together that I could wade in and tone them with my hand.At the points where the river thade its turn the salmon were so crowded that the black fins of many & above the water.Hundreds of thousands of these fish are destroyed by bears and other animals.But in the face of all danger the female mlmon make their ascent to the warmer waters to de- it their eggs.When the eggs of the fish ave been impregnated the fish are affected with great lassitude.In this weak state the current hears them back to the sea and it is not until they again reach the salt water that they again reach their normal state.American farmers have been very slow to adopt the steam plow.Perhaps this was because they were waiting for something better.Au inventor claims to have invented & machine to plow by wind power.A tixty-horse-power machine will draw ten plows four miles an hour, and plow four acres an hour, with only one man to manage it.It is rigged with windmill sails, and besides doing wonders in the field, furnishes stationary power for threshing, grinding, and other operations, and can cary many passengers on the road.The name of this wonderful machine and thet of the inventor are not given.Attherecent internationalshowst Amsterdam, the prize for the best

Qs chief accuser.Nearly a dozen of prothinent and reliable residents of Quebec swore that they would not believe Trudel under oath, that they knew he was a bad man, and had committed acts worthy of the penitentiary.Of Another class of testimony was the evidence of Mr Tarte, the well-known Ultramontane, and editor of Le Canadien.He stated that, on Mr Moumecan'\u2019s election for Jacques Cartier, he, with several others, went from Quebec to Montreal to intervigw Mr Mercier as to the possibility of forming a coalition government, This was done at the instigation of certain high dignitaries of the Church of Rome, whose names Mr Tarte was abofit en he was stoppéd, and do) give wh the commigsionpey.quieg he.would not be alle ed to name them.The Hon Mr Langelier, who was à mémber\u2018 of Joly\u2019s cabinet, had been first dpptodched and to]d that it would be necessary or the Liberals to give a guarantee, if admitted te offico, that they would not interfere with the existing\u2019 privileges of the Church of Rome in this.province, particularly with regard to edu- catiom Mr Langelier accepted these ignominious terms, and \u2018wrote this declaration : To maintain, as they are at present, the exclusive control over books on the subject of re- igion apd morality used in the schools, to the deu ving the spiritual direction of the aghools.To maintain the present composition, powers and privileges of the council of public Instruction.y 2,5 > 1 O3 eee Me Tarte carried this to the bishop who led in the negotiations (understood ;to be Bishop he of Three Rivers) and who dictated additional points to which the Liberals must agree, tha chief being that they would never propose sn dnteadment to: the education law without first submitting\u2019it to the couneil of public instruction, which is made up of bishops and priests.Mr Langelier agreed to the new terms, whereupon the bishop told Mr Tarte that a con- lition of members fram both parties founded on P2.the declaration of Mr Langelier, would be an immense benefit to the province.On coming to My Mercier, witness neglected\u2019 to say whether he accepted the declaration.The presumption is that he did.At suyrate, nothing could be effected in the way of forming a doalition, as Nr Morcier insisted on a majority of the cahinab \u2018iiig Liberals, though willing he should not bo| V5 one of them.Some time after, Mr Mouseeau sent for Mr Tarte, and told him thet he wished him to try again to bring about a coalition with 18p Liberals, because a certain Federal Minister sma seeking 0 iuterfore in provincial affairs and force him out.This was Sir Hector Langevin, who wanted Mr Mousseau to-discharge one of \u2018Mi dblleagues to make room for Mr Chapais,who is Sir Hector's son-in-law.This time Mr Mercier' would not listen to any proposal which left Monsseau in office, so the matter dropped.The evidence of Mr Tarte fully exonerates Mr Mercier from the sosusation that he sought offidy, auf that his course ih prosecuting Mr Mousseau for election irregnlarities arose out of such desire; but, on the other hand, what a of light it throws-on the secret springs of Le ei) politica}!

Rapes ot of So later information from Scotland states there THE LIBERAL DEMONSTRATION AT STE MARTINE, SOME time ago the Bropoeal was started among the Rouges of Chateaugay to make a demonstration in favor of Mr Mercier, to signify their sympathy with him in his struggle over the Mousseau matter, and to present him with a purse to assist in payin bis outlay.The co-operation of the English-speaking Liberals was invited, and arrangements were completed to havo the demonstration take place on the 20th Sept.It being considered essential to have Mr Blake, it was found that date would not suit him, so the meeting was postponed twice, Saturday last being finally fixed upon.The postponements and the very imperfect manner in which the meeting was advertised, had an injurious effect on the attendance.Saturday dawned amid clouds,and the warm west wind gave indications of a renewal of the rain of the preceding night.Toadd to the discouragements, the roads were heavy, so that few who had to drive any distance cared about starting.Those who went by the morning train had a long wait, for they stepped off at Ste Martine at half-past 7.Atthat early hour there was no movement in the village, beyond a few men working at the evergreen arches, of which there were 3\u2014one spanning the road that leads from the station, and 2 at the entrances to the show ground, where the meeting was to Le held.The first mentioned was the largest and finest, and looked very well.The arrangements on the show-ground were not good.The stand in the horse-ring had been enlarged into an ugly shed with a row of seats in front, which collapsed as soon as they were put in use, The forenoon drifted away slowly, and it was not until noon that a whistle signalled the approach of the special train, which consisted of 7 cars, about half-filled.The Durham brass band taking the lend, & procession was formed, which made its way to the show ground.Amid the group of gentlemen who filled the platform, the tall figure of Mr Blake appeared, and he was hailed with cheers.Most unexpectedly was seen beside him a short, prim- looking man, whose gray hair spoke of long experience.Nobody who had ever seen Grip needed to be told that this was he whom Sir John Macdonald calls \u201cthe little tyraut Mowat.\u201d Truly 2 mildappearing tyrant, for he would ass anywhere for a clergyman of the old school.Behind them, the keen, intellectual face of Mr Mercier is discernible.The chairman of the reception committee, Julien Hebért, resembling in his shiny stove-pipe hat and good clothes, Mr Koster so strongly that several mistook him for that gentleman, Stating that an address would now be presented to Mr Blake, the member for the county, Mr Holton, stepped forward and read this address : Sir,\u2014The Liberals of Chateaugay wish to extend to you a most cordial welcome upon the occasion of this your firat visit to this county, a visit which will long be remembered by them with sincere pleasure.Tho until recently almost separated from the centres of political thought and movement, we wish you to believe that we have been close observers of passing events and of nothing more critically than your public career.We have read with profound satisfaction your public uiterances in Parlia- ent and upon the public platform, and always inding in them most eloquent appeals for tho just rights of the people, without distinction of race or creed, we gladly recognize in you our leader in fact as weil as in name.A leader in whom we repose unbounded confidence, and for whom we entertain feelings of the deepest respect and esteem.We ask you to accept this expression of confidence at our hands as well as rhe assurance of our continued support at the polls, our hope being that the Government of the country may ero long be entrusted to your direction, Mr Blake, holding & bouquet which had been presented to him, responded in à conversational tone, referring in complimentary terms to Mr Holton\u2019s father, and his intimacy with him, and expressing his pleasure at being among his con- stitutents, who, for so many years, and in so wany hot contests had maintained the Liberal banner.Stepping back, Mr Mowat tock his place and Mr Holton read this address : Sir,\u2014The Liberal electors of Chateaugay welcome you to their county most cordially.Though of another Province and living at a remote distance, you are no stranger to them, your noble and persistent struggle for the maintenance of the rights over your Province and the recent final discomfiture of its enemies are facts well known to them and they are glad of this opportunity of expressing to you personally their warm approval of your course and of rejoicing with you over the success of your efforts.The question of Provincial Autonomy is one of vital importance to all and they welcome you as its successful champion.They congratulate you also upon the steadily increasing strength of your administration and trust most sincerely that you may long be spared to direct the affairs of your great province with the same wisdom and unflinching integrity which have characterized your administration in the past.And finally they thank you for this visit, which they accept as an eloquent expression of the sympathy of yourself and of the Liberal part of Ontario with their fellow Liberals of this Province in their efforts to secure for the people a wise, honest and economical Govornment.Mr Mowat replied with fluency, tho without the ease and pre of Mr Blake, while & nervous movement of his upper lip showed that the preciso enunciation he affects causes him an effort.He alluded to the Jeriod.long ago, when he sat in the old legislature at Toronto and Quebec, and recalled tho French Liberals with whom he then associated.Mr Mercier he described as & worthy successor of them, alluded to his presence at the late demonstration at Toronto, and the impression he had left by his eloquence, and foretold, amid their present dis- ge th that would yet 16 weil \"bd wall \u2018for Mr Bisite t tait \u201cbefore 1220 Bittern Creek, amounting to $30.75, was cour the Libral cause in Quel 0 crown the Liberal cause in Quebec.A tall, thin young Frenchman, Mr Dan- durand, president of the clab National of Montreal, unrolling a sheet of parchment, read the following address to Mr Blake in French : Honorable Sir,\u2014The members of the National Club, of Montreal, consider ita duty and an honor to come here to ise you as the man charged with presiding over the destinies of the \u2018Liberal patty in thiscountry.They aoclaim in Jour person the official representative of the the furthering of which they fight in | the Province of Quebec.They were most bappy when they saw that you constituted ourself the champion of commercial inde dance and of the a of the provinces, and they base upon you their hopes for the \u201crealization of their national aspirations.The are most confident that the enthusiasm whic your potent voice creates amid the populations Jon afe visiting will reeult in bringing vi the standard you so valiantly defend and under the auspices of which the members of the National Club are so proud to mareh.' Ina few words, Mr Biake acknowledged the compliment, declaring that on maintaining the autonomy of the provinces depended the existence of the confederation, and that, on tbe other hand, the right of provincial self-government must be exercised in mo narrow spirit.: Considerations of creed, nationality, and langu- \u2018age must not divide, but the government be administered in the spirit that they stood on the common base of being Canadians, Mr Hebért , announcing that the visitors would now adjourn half an hour for lunch, they left, being taken to Caron\u2019s, and having to walk.The half hour passed and several with it, and no prospect of a meeting, for the rain, which had been threat- :ening all forenoon, now came on in a succession \u2018of brief showers, that made everything most \u2018disagreeable.The Ste Martine clay became | more sticky and greasy and pools of water filled \u2018overy hollow.By half-past two it cleared up a little, and the gentlemen having taken their places on the platform, the proceedings were | resumed by Mr Robidoux, M.P.P.for the county, ; who spoke for some time.He is a handsome man with a pleasant countenance and a capital speaker in his own tongue.He referred, one by one, to the leaders who were present.In coming to speak of Mr Mowat, be described what he had done in maintenance of provincial rights and gave him great praise.The Conservatives, said Mr Robidoux, want to concentrate the government at Ottawa, but we Liberals desire to leave to each province the fullest self- government, and the sentiment was cheercd.Well, if it is to be made a part of the qualification of a Liberal to swear by provincial rights, the Gleaner will have to be left out, for it will continue to uphold legislative union, and one law and one measure of privilege for the inhabitants of the Dominion.This blowing about autonomy on the part of our Quebec politicians really means the keeping up of the barriers which makes the province, to its great loss, so peculiar and distinct from the rest of the Dominion.Mr Mercier followed in a speech that lasted over an hour.Unlike his countrymen, he speaks deliberately and in an even tone, only raising his voice when he seeks to make a point, and using very little gesticulation.There is a weight and intensity in his utterances, however, that make up for want of vehemence, and he carries his hearers along with him as fow men can do.He began by complimenting those who had go up the demonstration, and described the Liberals as a party that sought to give the rovince an honest government and to defend its institutions by resenting federal interference, At great length he described how, by their extravagance, the province had been brought by the Conservatives into financial difficulties, and ita sole hope of being rescued from them depended upon the Liberals gettinginto power, of which he did not despair.By contrast with Quebec under Conservative rule, he depicted the prosperity of the Oatario government under the control of Mowat, whom he eulogised.Speaking of himself, he dwelt on the contest he was waging with Muusseau and his friends, and in.diguantly denied that he had sold himself for $5000.He described minutely the Jacques Cartier transaction, and with bitterness denounced Trudel and his associates in strong terms.The angry flush showed he meant what he said, when he declared he was not done with Mous- seau.Leaving this subject, he returned to the guests from Ontario.Mr Mowat, in securing a roader domain for Ontario, had shown how, on the same basis, Quebec might claim all the land that lies between the Laurentian hills and Hudson Bay, and said he meant to see to it, whereupon'the Canadians shouted.Mr Blake he extolled as ghe champion of provincial rights.Mr Holton icferred to the gathering as proof of how the two races were united in political sentiment, by their joining to honor the great leaders of both provinces, to whom he referred at considerable length.From Mr Mercier's speech at Toronto he read an cxtract, of which this will do : : While engaged in these struggles for public interest and the triumph of honest government, I am always surprised at the indifference shown by our English population.Out of fifteen counties, exclusively controlled by the British element in our Eastern Townships, we can hardly count one or two.We may say that it is that population who maintain in power the bitterest enemies of cqual rights, of religions tolerance, and the natural instigators of race and creed prejudices, The fact ie, that our French population is almost equally divided, and if the nglish-speaking electors had been willing to do their duty in Joining those who ia our Bro.vince are honestly fighting for public welfare, the political adventurers who have so long misgoverned our country would have long ago re-.cefved the chastisement which they so richly deserve.I hope, however, that the day is not far distant when my fellow-citizens, of English, Frish, or Scotch origin, in the Provinces of Que- bac will understand their true interest, and tender their hands to their friends and natural allies, the Liberals, in order to restore in our Province a government worthy of a free and intelligent country.With their help we can put a stop to the annual deficits and to the scandals of the present Administration ; we can rid the country of the political sharks who at present prey so heavily upon her; wo can uproot the prejudioss of race and religion so shamelessly taken advantage of and spread throu'out all classes by the Conservative party, and at the same time inaugurate an honest system of government, which will enrich the country and give satisfaction to all honest citizens.Mr Holton, who spoke with unaccustomed fervor, declared his belief in an approaching change, when both nationalities would unite and revive the glorious memories of the Baldwin-Lafontaine administration.And now room was made for Mr Blake, to hear whom so many had travelled longdistances.Time deals more gently by him than do the Tories, for he is not perceptibly changed since his visit, two years ago, to Huntingdon.The black hair still clusters thickly round the broad genial face and - the commanding form is still straight as an arrow.A man born with the visible stamp of a leader, and whose ve expression confidence in his honesty of To the astonishment of all he begins h French and the habitants yell with delight.Ho tolls in à few well-turned sentenc thet they must exonse him for nod them in their own lan , but he eannot do so with sufficient fackity, One enthusiastic\u2019 habitant tells him his French is beautiful, but | Mr Blake thanks him and shakes his head.Ho states that he has always refrained from interfering in the politics of any province, except in that of which he is an elector, and his pre-| sence there that day was to be regarded merely | as an expression of his sympathy with Mr Mercier under his troubles, and with whom he had been acquainted for many years.With admirable tact, Mr Blake avoided expressing an) opinion on the Jacques Cartier transaction.He was not called upon to give his own opinion, | but good men, on both sides of politics, saw no wrong in compromising election disputes, and Mr Mercier had only done what was common, in dropping the prosecution on confession of judgment to the minor charge.That the transaction was of a corrupt nature he would be reluctant to believe.Where there is a seller there must be a buyer, and the buyer is the worst of the two.Though he disapproved of much in Mr Mousseau\u2019s political career, he would be slow to believe that he, while attorney general, charged with the administration of justice, had been guilty of the shameful bargain that the Conservatives alleged had taken place over the Jacques Cartier election.He had been pleased to listen to Mr Mercier\u2019s explanation, and for the honor of Judge Mous- seau as well as Mr Mercier\u2019s vindication, would accept it as correct.Had the opportunity been more favorable, he had intended to touch upon several of the topics he had lately discussed before Ontario audiences.He would have wished to show them how the Conservatives had not fulfilled the promises under which they had taken office\u2014how instead of equalizing the taxation to protect manufacturers, they had raised it, and wrung 20 millions more from the people than even they, with all their recklessness, could spend.And the burdens thus increased, fell most heavily on the poor.The Conservatives bad found fault with Me Mackenzie's extravagance for spendiag 6) millions on the Pacific railway, and argued that that road should be built no faster than the country could bear without hardship.Yet those very men had given 70 millions at the outset to the syndicate to take over and complete the road, and that, too, without including the 25 million acres of land.Divided among constituencies, the money grant was equal to 2336,000each,aud that was the sum for which the land in Chateaugay was mortgaged as truly as if the deed had been drawn out and registered.When he had objected to such an enormous bonus, Sir Hector Langeviu replied that it was large but it would be all they would have to give, and the people would prefer to know the worst at once and be done withit.Yet the very men who said this, at last session had come down and asked for 30 millions more, and the only excuse offered was, that the peo- le were madly desirous of getting the road finished (laughter) and were wiliing to pay 30 millions more to get their toy 3 years soouer.(Laughter).He believed burrying the completion of the road would be an injury to the com- any.When it was proposed it should be finished by 1891, he had calculated that for 10 years after there would not be sufficient traffic to sustain the road, and to hasten the date of completion by 5 years Was oaly to extend the eriodduring which it would beunremunerative.hile speaking in this connection, Mr Blake told a story.A traveller passed a man plowing with a span of horses that were racks of bones and in a field where he could bardly get the plow point between the stones.The traveller condoled with him.\u2018Oh, replied the Plowman, \u2018I ain't so badly off as you think; I don't own the land.\u2019 So, badly off as the Dominion was in this transaction, it would be still worse did it own the Pacific railway, which could not ay until the lands through which it runs were Brought under cultivation.Adding $142,000 as Chateangay's share of the additional 30 millions, he would ask them, had the government appealed to the country, as it ought to have done, would they have returned a representative instructed to vote away $473,000 for that railway ?There could be only one answer, and all they could do now, when the government, by a misuse of ita power, had ratified the bargain, was to see that they would not have the opportunity of so serving it into the Senate; he described the objectionable manner ia which its members were chosen, and said it was absurd to pretend they had self-government while the power was entrusted to one man to constitute the upper house.Of how the public will is thereby thwarted, they had an illustration in the legislative council of this province, When Mr Joly bad acceded to office, he had found the council filled with his opponents, aud had he failed in securing the services of one of them, he would have been unable even to have his measures brought before it at all.As it was, the dead band of : kia.predecessor in'so filling the council, had defeated the public will, and Mr Joly had to resign.The reform of the Senate was a task the Liberals had before them.As to provincial rights, he contended that the Confederation was 50 vast, and the interests: of the several provinces so diverse, that it was impossible to rule them all by one parliament, and he favored giving each province the fullest latitude compatible with the welfare of the Dominion as a whole.His peroration was an appeal to the sense of duty in his hearers.There Were grave wrongs to righted ; much to be done to consolidate our form of government.The task could not be thrown entiroly on the shoulders of those placed like himself in\u2019 the forefront of the battle, Each elector had a power beyond his ballot, and if he did not use it, in influencing his neighbors, in confirming waverers, in encouraging others to act, in organising and supporting their representatives, they would be seriously to blame.Mr Blake spoke with even more spirit than hedid at untingdon, and evidently would have liked more scope, as he seemed to study how he could say most in the shortest time.The fact that not one-fourth of his listeners understood him, necessarily made him desire tobe as short as possible.To those who have not heard him, a ew words as to his style as a speaker may be acceptable.His great characteristic is simplicity.cal fire works or gymoastios ; he stands erect and talks to his hearers almost without a move- mentor raising his voice much above its ordinary tone.The words flow from him as naturally as water from a spring, aad in a stream of the rpg br a Eoglish ; each sentence so ge $0 D9 under There is no effort; no attempt at oratori- jg ; t an effor Ro ame is lost to the ear.His shortcoming sea platform is his lack of fire, of the passion that moves and burns, but this is largely com.bsated by the power arising from a strong intellect.hile the Dominion may have @ hundred speakers who will cause an audience to shout in a delirium of delight as Mr Blake cannot, it has not another who can so persuade his hearers and leave them deeply impressed with what he speaks on.His extranrdi talent in stating a case, in making what is involved and difficult plain, and the conscionaness the hearer at once feels, that the speaker has studied the subject and is giving the result of his calm consideration, carries conviction.- Mr Charles Langelier (he of Montmorency fame), a rather unpleasant looking young maa, began a voluble speech in French, but bis eloquence was soon drowned by a downpour of rain.As he unwillingly stopped, he said that the misdeeds of the Quebec Conservatives had been made so evident, that even Nature wept for them.As therain continued to fall heavily, the proceedings could not be resumed, and the crowd, which at no time numbered over 1000, dispersed, THE DINNER was held in the lower flat of the show-house, 2 tables running its entire length, and seatin over 300.It was provided by a Mont caterer, who got it up in great style.Owing to the late hour at which it was held, a number found it was impossible to stay for it.Among those who had to leave were : Julius Scriver, M.P., Dr Cameron, MPP, John Symons, and Thomas Gebbie, senr.The Orms- town delegation, of which Thomas Baird and Robert Ness were members of the committee, remained part of the time.Mr Julien Hebert presided, and among the guests were G.W.Stephens, M.P.P., James McS , MPP.J.D.Edgar, M.P., and a number of prominent Mon- trealers.After the usual loyal toasts, the chairman prepesed, * The Hon Honore Mercier and his colleagues of the Opposition.\u201d The following address was also read : Sir\u2014The Liberals of Chateaugay Cousty have followed with admiration the struggle of yourself and your colleagues in the Opposition, in the interest of our cause, and they have made it a duty, and at the same time a pleasure, te organize today\u2019s demonstration, to recognize emphatically and publicly the signal services you have rendered to the country by your attitude before the Legislative Assembly since you have been chief of the Opposition at Quebec.We have desired at the same time to protest against the system of detraction and calumny organized by your adversaries against you, and we are proud of affirming today the entire confidence we have in your integrity and your devotion to the public cause.We understand that the incessant sacrifices which you impose upon yourself must be appreciated otherwise than by words and we pray you to accept on behalf of the Liberals of Chateaugay and of some friends of the adjoining counties the check which we heartily offer you, May Providence preserve your health and strength to allow you to be in future the valiant champion which you have been in the past.JULIEN HEBERT.President of the Organization Committee.The cheque was for $1000.Mr Mercier replied in a grateful strain, saying that the people of Chateaugay, should receive himso, who to them personally, at least, was à perfect stranger, as they had done, showed both how great was the work he was engaged in and how thoroughly they appreciated its greatness, The Liberal party had lost beyond doubt some of its most able leaders in the past.The Hon Mr Joly and the Hon Mr Dorion had both to retire from its leadership, the latter in order to - support his family, and Mr Letellier de St.Just had been killed for his devotion to Liberalism, but the party of progress was not dead yet, as this demonstration proved.Speeches were afterwards made Ly Mr Robidoux, James McShane, Hon Mr Marchand, Mr G.W.Stephens, Hon Mr Mowat, Mr Edgar, Dr Frechette and others.Mr Blake was not called upon until late, and spoke.very briefly.During the evening a display of fireworks took place on the grounds.The Ormstown band remained nearly to the close, and several of the strangers remarked on the excellence of its playing.Coe : The special train left Sto Martine about midnight amid the cheers of the assembled electors and arrived in the city about 2 a.m.On Monday evening Mr Blake and Mr Mowat were entertained to a dinner at the Windsor by the Montreal Liberals.HUNTINGDON COUNTY COUNCIL.: A SPECIAL meeting was held on Tuesday ;
