[" ue ee = SB \" Canadian Gleaner Bunrmieason, Q., Nove.19, 1008 NOTES OF THE WEEE \u2014\u2014 Adéression the Montreal Libora! club Tuesday evening Mr Prefontaine, minister of marine, stated Sir Wilfrid had not yet decided as to whether another session would be held before the writs for a general election were fesued.Ho said\u2014 We do not know yet wben the elections will be held.The lists are belag red and the question of a geeerul election is being studied by the government.But whether an appeal to the country is made in six OF seven weeks Or in aix months\u2019 time, I would ask you to be ready.\"The government is organising parties to survey the route of the projected Pacific railway and an Ottawa despatch states it is \u201csimply overwhelmed with applications for jobs in connection with the work\u201d rangiag from civil engineers down to ordinary laborers, Every man who expects a job is a stout supporter of the government.The bank of Montreal informs its sbarebolders that during the past six months\u2019 the profits were $917,000.This, however, includes profit on issue of new atock.Still, deducting that, the bank is enjoying unprecedented prosperity.The remarkable profits of all the banks is due in part to the low interest, 8 per cent., they allow depositors.While their rate of discount has been raised no increase has been made in the rate allowed on deposits, This will remedy itself, for as the government returns show de- positorsare withdrawing their money £0 invest elsewhere, The shipments of wheat from Manitoba are rather disappointing.The C.P.R.states that it has only bandled 14 million bushels againat 17% to the same time last year.Some say the farmers bave not got the grain, others that they are holding it for better prices.At Winnipeg Ît ie difficult to get 80c for No 1 Northern, à fall of Gc in a few weeks.Charies R.Devlin, at one time mem- \" berof the bouse of commons, and who was given by Laurier an office as emigration agent at Dublin, barangued a large audience of French-Canadians, Sunday evening in Montreal, on the alleged wrouge of Ireland.The Star is the only ome of city papers to give a full outline of his remarks, and their whole érift was in favor of separating Ireland from Britain, with many side-thrusts as to Canada doing likewise.He represeuted Colonel Lynch, who fought on the Boer side and who told bis men to kill the English soldiers, as & martyr,and not a word was raised in protest, altho there was as judge of the court of King\u2019s bench in the audience.The Globe has caused a sensation by a frank utterance condemning some ol the methods of the Ontario government and urging immediate relorms.When it speaks of \u201cthe activity of political parasites, who make party service a means of private gain\u201d and of the noed \u201cto husband the public resources against waste and unjust private monopoly\u2019 one would think it was writing of the Laurier administration, for these public crimes are as true of it as of the Ross government, and of both it may bosaid in the words of the Globe: Besause of electoral corruption here ond the inence of party heelers there, lism bas fost something ot ite old-time sell-respect and La haioom on a \u201cout ori of strength and resonance.Btoamehips are daily leaving Montreal aad by the end of the week the port will be deserted.All go with foll cargoes.To take advastage of the last opportænity for ehippiog direst to Europe, dealers bave been pariag à shade bigher prices, so that © évelies may bo looked for when the he lait ohip bas enlled,

ows of all preporticn to the of oats and of coru.At os for bras larmers save mosey by tursiag their grain into moullie.A big slomp is looked for in apples, as the shipments have been in excess of the requirements ol the Eaglish market.: At this ssasos, when it would be thought workmea would be glad to got employment, these is à fresh outbreak of etrikes, had teas of thousands are idle from their own act.In Pittsburg, Pa., all connected with the building trade are walking the streets, aud Chicago is kept in a state of suspense by a strike of the street-car employees.In Quebec all the boot and shoe factories are closed.Ia nearly every instance the strikes arise from the demand of employees that only union-men be given work.This dictation the masters resent, and the struggle is one of free labor.In the message sent by the Chicago street-car men to the company they said, because the company had refused to discharge all non-union men, they bad \u201cdecided to suspend the operation of your lines\u201d which they proceeded to do by placing obstructions ob the tracks and endeavoring to kill the men who took their places.The company declares it can get plenty of men to run the cars if given protection.The New England cotton mills have given notice of a reduction of wages of 10 per cent., which the hands are likely to accept, as the state of trade does not encourage a strike.All over the States many large concerns are reducing the number of bands, cutting down wages, and, ia many instances, closing their works until epring.This is especially true of iron and steel works.A result of the dullness in trade is the returning to Europe of foreign workmen.Every steamship that leaves New York has its steerage filed with Germans and Italians.who say it is cheaper for them to go back to their old homes and return in spring than to stay bere out of work all winter.President Roosevelt negotiated a re-iprocity treaty \u2018with Cuba.In return for certain favors and exclusive arlvautages, the president guaranteed the United States would admit Caban products at lower duties than it charged the rest of the world.Congress failed to ratify the treaty, whereupon the president called a epecial session, wbich is now going on.The obstacle to ratifying the treaty is the objection of all engaged in the sugar trade, they wanting the bars kept up to keep out Cuban sugar.As the good faith of the republic is involved, that consideration ought to overcome any influence the sugar-trust may wield at Washington.The president of Colombia has addressed a protest to the U.S.senate about the secession of Panama, and which was made public on Monday.He says the U.8., by a public treaty, guaranteed Colombia\u2019s sovereignty in Panama and he cannot understand wby the American government should haveincited the rebellion that led to the secession of Panama or its participation in recognising Panama as an independent nation.He asks the American people to observe their treaty obligations by assisting him to put down the rebels and maintain the iotegrity of Colombia\u2019s territory.This President Marroquin might as well appeal to the wolves of the Rocky mountains for help, The secession of Panama is nat going to pass without some trouble.The parent state, Colombia, bas sent an official statement to the Great Powers, declaring thatthe revolntjon was instigated by the government of the United States and could not have been carried into effect but for its assistance.It ssems Colombia bas a public debt of 13 million dollars, even the interest ou which it is unable to pay, and was counting on applying the indemnity to be paid by the States for tbe causa) tosettle pith its bondholders.There is a fesling in France, that ail thogreat sacrifices it made to build the Panama canal should not be allowed to go fora mere song, and that it should intervene and complete the work, meking it the purely French enterprise intended by deLesseps.That Britain \u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 [touted for; Orrmmsty Preuss may have something to say diplo- matioally at Washington.President Roussvelt has mone so far that be ennnoé retspat and le bound to back the peur republic of Panama st all basards.Should Colombia be able to acsemble an arwy to invade Panama, it would have to face American trooge.Germany bas on hasd a rebellion in its colony in South Alriea, which lies north-west of the Transvaal.To get troops rapidly to the centre of the disaffected district, the British authorities were asked to allow them to land and march over British territory, which was decisively refused.Now the German papers are mad at Britain, but no madder than when they were doing their best on the Boer side.Had Britain allowed German troops tocross her territory, it would have made her one with Germany in the eyes of the revolting natives and the rising might bave extended into the Transvaal.The advent of winter has compelled the suspension of hostilities in Macedonia.The leader of the insurgents, Sarafoff, declares he will be ready to resume them in the spring, unless Torkey consents to yield what his compatriots demand.Meanwhile the condition of the refugees in Bulgaria and of those held as prisoners by the Turks, excites the sympathy of Europe.\u2019 Britain seems to be in for a little war.The rulers of Thibet, a small country lying on the north-eastern frontier of India, having been acting in an unfriendly way, an expedition has been sent under Colonel Macdonald to get the Thibetans to observe thelr treaty obligations.Thibet is one of the most exclusive countries the world bas known, surpassing China in that respect, so the progress of the little army will be watched with interest.All danger of war in the east has not passed.Russia not only holds her grip on Manchuria but is said to have re-occupied ite capital.It is suspected China is in communication with Japan to arrangefor a common advance against the enemy.Both Japan and Russia continue to prepare for war.GUIDE D\u2019AFFAIRRS, by J.E.Hansford.Publishers, J.E.Nichols company, Toronto.Price $1.50.The publishers of this book forward a

arranged with a competent engineer to survey the village streets for the projected water worke and sewage.The offer of Ross & Holgate of Montreal was chosen by the council, their charge for survey and petimates being $250.Should the work go on under their superintendence, they will get 5 per cent.on the amount of cost.The eurvey will be started at once.The council decided to submit a bylaw, to be

advantage of the freedom granted the licensed vietunllers of Vallevfleld, and visited a number of the rum shop, where lignor was snld to the party, the reanlt.being the lose of the man\u2019s life, About 580 p.m.his companions left him, and.unattended, he attempted to erosn the canal lock gates, when he fell in And met an untimely death.His criea of dietress attracted the attention of some persons who were then crossing the eanal bridge.They immediately set to work and attempted to rescue the unfortunate victim of violated law from a watery grave, but failed to get him out in time.After being about 15 minutes in the water the body was recovered and Dr J.A.Gauthier, who wan promptly on the scene of the accident, tried every means possible to restore life but without success.The body was then removed to the central police station in the patrol wagon and the chief of police notified the victim's relatives of the ead ending of the young map.Coroner Dr.M.Lefebvre empannelled à jury on Monday forenoon to hold an inquest.The evidence given conclusively shewed that the accident was caused by the guilty manner in wbich the license laws are observed in town, The verdict rendered was \u201caccidental death\u201d and a rider was added censuring the town and parish authorities for their neglect of duty in the matter of Sunday whiskey sell- fog.Sworn evidence was given by several of thewitnessesthat they had gained free admission to the har rooms of both town and parish hotels, and that liquor was sold over the counters.In face of such testimony the general public awaits with angiety what action the respective connoils sud the government district revenge inspector will take in the matter, Can the law he violated with impunity and no steps taken to stop the illegal sale of liguor on Sundays, carrying with it such awful results ?Rumor says that the \u2018ranch,\u2019eof which we wade mention last week, bas been pulled and that 10 arrests were made on the premises.Its

breaking.Both were thrown down the canal embankment and sustained severe bruises.Jos.Leduc, agricultural implement agent of St Timothé, also met with a similar accident by coming in collision with another wagon in close proximity to where the above accident took place.A series of special services were held in the Methodist church last week under the direction of the pastor and Rev Mr Winter of Montreal.The meetings were well attended.Treffla Taillefer, for some years Valleyfield\u2019s leading butcher, who has been for a couple of years confined in Verdun insane esslum in Montreal, effected his escape on the 10th.No trace has so fap been found ol his whereabonts and fears are entertained that he bas been drowned.There is an agitation at present on foot to form a syndicate amongst some of our leading men to construct a modern opera house, with a seating capacity of about 800.The pro ject is meeting with general approval, assuch a ball is much wanted for concerts, lectures, ete.Many an interesting and instructive entertainment is missed in Valleyfield for the want of a commodious building.A large number of our musically inclined townspeople went to Montreal on Thursday evening to attend the Patti concert.A satisfactory test of the M.Cotton Co.\u2019s fire fighting apparatus was wade on Friday forenoon beforea number of insurance men.Ten hose lives were simaltaneonaly atarted

Messrs Grenier.J.K.Ward, Molson, Gault.and R R.Stevenron, directors of the Montreal Cotton C'o., held their monthly meeting in Valleyfield on Wednesday, when an inspection of the company\u2019s mille and new buildings was made.The progress of the latter was favorably commented on.The recent cut of 10 per cent.in the wages ofthe operators of the New England etates mille and the sharp advance in the price of raw cotton does not tend to improve the cotton trade situation on this eide of the lines.The making of the cut being caused by over-production, the surplus stock will, with the present low tariff, open up a slaughter market on this side.Daring the week, oyr police have \u201cpounded\u201d about 20 cows, fonnd waadering in the streets.There are a number of two-legged animals who crowd

HAS DONE FOR THE BOERS, : Toronto Mail: Sixteen months ago the Transvaal wasa country in ruins.War bad wronght devastation and desolation.Farme were deserted.Farm houses were destroyed.Land was losing traces of former cultivation.Of flocks there was none, The livestock had disappeared, and the people were glad of the shelter and the food obtainable in the concentration camps.Today the country is blossoming out as never before, Farm houses have been restored.Roads have been repaired.Land has been brought under cultivation.Horses and cattlegrazein the smiling fields.Towns bave been rebuilt.Order and prosperity, in some measure, have been restored.This is the outcome of the repatriation work carried on by the British government.Britain\u2019s bounty to her defeated foes has been both prompt and generous.The gift of $15,000.000 has heen only a small portion of the service rendered.The story of the restoration of the Boers to their farms has been told, so far as the Transvaal is concerned, in London Times by a repatriation officer, It is a record of which the world bas never before known the like.At the close of the war there were belonging to theTranavaal 66.000 personsin the hurgher camps.There were besides 15.000 prisoners of war, and 10.000 of the last surrendered burghers.Practically thenation was in custody aud in poverty.To return these people with food.forniture, and live stock to their farms, rebuild their homes, and start them again fa life was a gigantic ungertaking.Yet it was cheerfully and quickly accomplished.On leaving the concentration camps each family was supplied free of charge with a tent, bedding, and a month\u2019s food for all hands, and many of them had besides saved considerable flour out of their daily rations in the camps, Resides this, each family had such supplies as bad been recommended by the local commissions.These included additional rations, sometimes for 2 or 8 months, implements, seed, and live stock.This additional sopply the department either sold at cost, or charged to an account opensd for the recipients.Two years are allowed for the repayment of this debt, without interest.Bach family will be credited with its share of the 215.000.000 gift, and will be expected to reimburse the government for the balance.But the.triumph of the organization was the saving of the crops.When the Baers began to return to their homes the plowing season was well advanped.It was found impossible to ercure enough draught animals to evable each farmer to do his owh plowing.Hence there was a danger that the season would be lost.In this emergency the department adopted & novel idea.It sent through plowing expeditions.Bach plowing column consisted of 8 plows, 6 teams of horses to draw them, and 2 patives to each plow.A list of farms to be plowed was supplied to the conductor of each column.In order that the assistance should be as general as poesihle, it was arder- ed that not more than § acres should be plowed on any farm.Thus 80,- 000 acres were plowed and seeded.When many of the late arrivals reached their farms they found orops of growing corn awaiting them.When the issue of foodstuffs on credis ceased, as it did on the 31at of May last, it was feared that some hurghers might nat be in a position ta supply the needs of their families.\u2018Po meet this condition relist works were started in various parts of the country.Burghers were paid $1.95 per day, and wero boarded at less than s ebilling à day.Only à few hundred men were pompetied to avail themselves of this asgistance, and they have gradually diminished In sumber.Education was provided for the obildren in 874 government schools.The pupils, 95.274 in number, were fed at the government'sexpense.The cost of all the york, {scluding the administration bad ep to Junelast reached §33,800,- 000.Part of thie may in Beitains nid, but the bulk of it ie Britaic's Po on towards belp- iog the Boers out of their dire die: Te ie quitecommion opinion that al- met every one le susceptible to the influence of flattery.There are some who sre s0 extravagant in thelr expressions that none but the very vain and silly take their words seriously, aad are pleassd by what they say.They flatter every one, 0B every oo casion.They go into ecstasy over everything you do or say.They loss no opportunity in your presence of saying complimentary things about you.Bat there is no discrimination in their efiusive talk, which ie as fluent over trivial things as over the most important.Besides, it lacks the mote of sincerity.They only proclaim the shallowness of their own hearts, and their want of sense, in supposing that they can deceive people into believing: that they mean what they say.There are others who flatter, and yet do it in a much wiser, more delicate, and less objectionable way.They wateh for opportunities to pay compliments, and to say things which will please those to whom they are speaking.They exaggerate the good qualities they commend.or the worthy ucts they praise.They repeat the kind things they have heard about their friends.Their motive in all this is to get the good opinion of those they laud.But really, in just so far as it is insincere, such complimenting is unwise in friendship.Even those who are in a way pleased by auch praise for the moment, are ln the end offended by it.There ie an instinct in every man wbo is not hopelessly self-conceited which tells bim when the words of commendation be hears are sincerely spoken, and when they areonly empty words.In every phase and form, flattery is despicable.On the whole, too, it fails to deceive, and therefore fails to please.It is resented by every worthy person, and weakens rather than strenethene friendebip.The moment ove who claims to beourfriend utters avything which we know to bean exaggeration of bis interest in us, his regard for us, or bis opinion of ue or of something we have done, he has hort bimeelf with ue.Friendship neede no flattery in ita professions or in its intercourse.It must be thor onghly siacere in all its expressions.Tosincerity in any form.or in any smallest measure, is a kind of disloyalty against which every true heart instinctively revolts.Yet there are people who bave become so used to adulation that they cannot be happy without it.They expect every one to say complimentary things to them and of them.They have lived so long and so entirely in an atmosphere of approbation that any spesch which lacks this quality seems tame and cold to them.This isa danger to which women are more exposed than men.Everybody tries to say complimentary thioge to women.Men are more likely to hear the baretruth about themselves, even though ofttimes it be disagreeable.In school, and on the playground, boys are in the habit of speaking out bluntly and frankly to each other, not asking nor thinking whether the words will give pleasure orpain.Jt is very rarely that a boy hears flattery, unless it be from his gentle mother, who sees everything in him from love's point of view.Io college and university life, young men are not encouraged to think more highly of themselves than the facts of their character and conduct warrant them to think.Their faults are ofttimes mercilessly exposed.Men got some of their best lessons from the bruskness of their fellows.At the time they do not like it\u2014may even think it almost brutal\u2014but it helps to make men of them.Whea college students win compliments and praise from their fellows, it must be for something worthy.They are not in great danger ol being spoiled by flattery.But with women it is altogether different.Even as little girls they are petted and praised by every ane.They grow up in a bothouse atmosphere of appreciation, Too aften they are trained to expuct complimenting on all occasions, wherever they go, whatever they do.They are dressed by their mothers with à view to admiration, and it ie regard- od as the proper thing for everybody who sees them to go into a measure of rapture oyer their haodeome appearance.Their early attainments and achievements are always praleed sometimes {n exaggerated fashion.As they grow older it is the same.In girle\u2019 colleges the freshmen are \u2018hesad\u2019 with flowers and suppers.Men of all ages vie with each other in showing gallantry to women.Any exhibition of rudgnesy to them le regarded ag unpardonable.They ate always listening tocompliments which sometimes certainly verge on flattery.The wonder is thatso many women brought up in such an atmosphere, ccape burtin their Île and character and maintala the sweetness, the sim- plieity 1 the humility, the thoaght{at- among the guest qualite laide womacliness.That more are aot spoiled by the continual aduistion which they receive and arv taught to which tie war bad brought up \u2014\u2014 Ce Fowas\u2019y satyre., J moet be admitted, however, that the lafissace of such a training upon th character and disposition is all need opposition asd ants to make ws strong, asd to bring tho graces and virtues ia wa.aire who do hot live always in a atmosphere of flattery, but who subject to more or less criticism, fad) their compensation in the on aoif-reliance which they acquire.: There ls, of course à genulne app elation of others, and of what t say and do, which is not only proper, bat is a bonnden duty.Its right so express our admiration for what pleases ue in others.Is this case the motive ie not to receive compliments in return, nor to gain favor and in- floence, but to give cheer and on- couraæement.Paul tells us that we should please our neighbor for his mood to edification.A child, for instance, isstriving earnestly to master some art or science, but ie disheartened, for be is not succeeding.Nothing will do him so much good as a word ol appreciation and confidence\u2014a word of encouragement which will spur him to do his best.If he hears only fault-8nding and criticism, he may lose heart altogether and give up.But when he learns that some one believes in him, and expects him to aucered.be receives new inepira- tion, which makes him stronger to go on with his striving.Such sincere commendation is part of the duty of love which we owe to others.But compliments which are neither sincere mor born of love are both unworthy of friendship, and bortful to those whom they are meant to please.\u2014S.8.Times.CANADA Moutreal, Nov.15\u2014The steamships out of Montreal to European ports still continue to carry immense cargoes of apples, and the Allan line steamship Tunisian, sailing yesterday for Liverpool, exceeded all previous records for both the line and the port.The cargo under hatches which sabe will land on the Liverpool docks within the next ten days consists of 35.500 barrels of apples and 1.089 boxes of the same fruit.This is the largest cargo ever taken from ny port ia Cra ada.Montreal, Nov.17\u2014 A deputation of former volunteers waited on Premier Parent this forenoon to urge their claims to a land grant for services during the Fenian raids, In replxiog the premier remarked that the cabinet realised the importance of this question.Militia matters specially appertalned to the Dominion government, but the province owad the militia encouragement.No doubt the force had rendered great service
