[" \\ æ posa THURSDAY, MARCH 5, 1908 QED Canadian Glexner Huntingdon, Que, March 5, 1908 | NOTES OF THE WREK \u2014 The commons on Tuesday gave the bil), granting $800,000 to the tercentary celebration at Quebec, ite second reading.In support of the grant, Sir Wilfrid Laurier stated It would likely all go towards the celebration; providing funds for the battle- \" fields would be the subject of a second grant.He had been noti- tied the Prince of Wales would inaugurate the festivities, arriv- Ing at Quebec with a squadron of warships on the 22nd July and leaving on the 29th.The Prince would not go beyond Quebec, \u2018The names of the commissionesr who would see to the spending of the grant were given and the blll was advanced a stage.The resolute attitude taken by the Opposition of late\u2019 with regard to irregular expenditure ended in a deadlock between the two sides of the house, Of all the departments the estimates of that of marine and fisheries are the most loosely prepared, and tbe least satisfactory answers vouchsafed by any of the ministers are those given by Mr Brodeur, On the item of $50,000 for the steamship Arctic being moved, Mr F.ster objected to its passing untl! the minister gave the information that had been asked regarding his travelilng expenses for the past 8 years, es- peclally of his attending the col- onla] conference in England.Mr Brodeur contended he had given all the information required, which the opposition denied.Ex- Pejts had been brought from New rk te change the system of book-keeping in his department.The board of these men was charged at the rate of 85 a day.There was proof they only paid one dollar, The country was charged $47,000 for stadting this new system, and there was no proof as to how it was spent, For his visit to England Mr Brodeur had received $8,798 for expenses, and part of that he had taken from \u2018 the vote for icebreakers, The discussion Wandered over the whole expenditure of: Mr Brodeur's department, and Instances were given of contracts being awarded for machinery to à man who had no machine shop, who bought elsewhere and charged the government three times what he paid.Supplies furnished steamers were charged far beyond their cost, and there was reason to believe that in every line of expenditure authorized Uy, Mr Brodeur there was & rake- soft for somebody, Mr Foster was emphatic In declaring that the whole expeaditure of Mr Brodeur waé purmdsted with graft and the opposition would not vote a single item of the esti- maton sulimiétod untéf de Net laid belore the house the reports ask- od, The premier tried to conciil- ate the opposition, asking them to pass items that were not questioned, and wait until Mr Brodeur was abies \u2018to preduse the reports sled for, He was mmswersd, the opposition had done no at two would take care he would not fool them, As unlike its Imperial prototype, the house hes no closure the struggle became one of physical endurance.So long as the opposition could muster enough members to form a quorum, so preventing the house being counted out, no other business could be proceeded with, To fill the time there.must be a form of debate, and so Conservative after Conservative rose to read from blue books or talk about nothing.Friday the house sat, both sides resolute on not giving in, Suddenly ths proceedings assumed an unwelcome color.A French member said he and his confreres had come to realise that all this obstruction was not because accounts were wrong, or to injure the government, but Because Mr Brodeur was a Frenchman, Why did the Conservative members not assall an English minister instead of serving opposition for a French one?This brought the French members Inge the melee, and several made long and able speeches in defence of Mr Brodeur, giving an opportunity to the obetruc- tionlsts to sleep In their chairs.As time wore on, the effect was seen on the nerves of those who took part, and, at times, order was lost.Severe things were sald by UYoth sides, and such epithets as coward and thief were freely bandied.That during the time he was speaker Mr Brodeur had furnished his official rooms in a most extravagant etyle and, when he ceased to be speaker, took what the country had paid for away with him, was alleged.Mr Borden was abeent during the debate, and Mr Foster, who led the opposition, emphatically denled that there was any guestion of race or creed in the issue he had ralsed, which was the simple one that the people bad a right -to know how their money was belng spent.As Sunday approached temporary relief came in sight.\u2018As the clock struck 12, the house after being in continuous session for 57 house adjourned.Before it did, Mr Brodeur produced a number of reports.Whether they are what the Opposition want, we shall know when the debate ie resumed.The member for the Yukon, De \u2018Thompson, took the breath of his hearers away by suddenly interjecting into a debate on seal hunting in the Pacific, à de claration In favor of independence, fie beld connection with Britain implied subsgryjency.He wanted.the power to Canada of making her own treaties, of our statutes not being open to Imperial veto, and the judgment of our courts to te fipai, Je was replied to by the premier, whe pointed out that there was no subserviency and no grievance.Sir Wilfrid onid= | It is true that our position I not one of paramount power, apd so jong as we remain as we are at present under the British crown the ireaty-making power muet remain with the British crown.That is to say, taf since we are not an in ati a sovereign power, negotiations aad treaty making between Canada and other nations must be carried om through the inetru- mentality of the British crown, and It ls the British evewn iu tbe last resort which must bear responsibility to the foreign nation with which we deal, But we must reflest that under the present conditions, fn 4) treaties whicl affect us, we ase afther eonsulted or we are not involved re- previous sessions, and Mr i.4 ?i A .ME, 0 re AS SET TT - a fees = à .i L EN THE CANADIAN GLEANER, HUNTINGDON; Q.connection with the commercial treaties we are allowed to ne- trotiate ébsolutely with a foreign power and prescribe the terms under which we wish to deal with her, When we consider this I do not know that there is any serious grievance.Indeed, for my part I would go further and say that there is no grievance whatever; certainly there is no subserviency.The local house opened at Quebec on Tuesday.The sover- Nora speech, floridiy egotisti», is long and outlines enough to keep members busy for 6 months, Among subjects proposed to be dealt with are recasting of the judicial system with more judges, a new municipal code, extension of educational facilities, improvement of roads, an enlarged grant to the monks at Oka for their agricultural schoo), the appointment of a representative of Quebec in England, with a num- Fer of minor promises.\u2018A BII to fix wages to Be païd by contractors on works receiving public money.and responsibility for accidents to workmen are plainly sops to the lAfor-unions.A grant to.the tercentary celebration Ts promised and the finances are reported to Ye in a flourishing condition.Mr Gouin intimated It was his intention to push the work of the session and, therefore, the house would sit on the afternoon of \u2018Ash Wednesday.The general election for the legislature of New Brunswick took place on Tuesday and vroved a Waterloo to the Liberals, who now go out of office after holding it for 25 years.The Coneervatives carried B31 seats, the Liberals 12, independents 8, Laurier fmprudentiy Identified himself with this provincial contest by sending one of his ministers to help.Experience with the class of immigrants who were poured into Canada during last season hag Been so painful that public opinion has come round to the view that paid agents and bon- using immigrants should cease.Between the foreigners who do not understand our laws and defy them and the helpless class who ere chronio\u2018paupers there is Mttle to choose, \u2018he Italian who thinks he may kill whom he pleases, the Ruselan Hoolallst, and the product of the English workhouse, alike give trouble and are f# loss to the country, At a meeting in an Ontario town, whose inhabitants bad become exasperated by the demands made upon them owing to the cÉnduct of new-comers, one speaker cemplained our laws prohibit the importation of defective cattle, but they don't pro- Bibit the importation of defective men and wemey, And another pointed out it is not fair af for eign countries to_ask us to ac- oept the citisens they themselves have crowded out.By means of emigration fyrgpe has got rid of thousands of its eriminais and jn- sane.The outcome of the meeting was a series of resolutions, the chief one that the government osase bonusing ageuts gf com- vanies for immigrants brought here.Did our government re- fleot publio opinion IÉ would do this, but the litéle finger of the CPR, of the ateamehip companies, and of\u201d the agencies 1s mess powerful than all the towns in Ontario.Instead of abeljshing the bonus it has heen doubled and the stream of immigration bas agua wf Jp; wo  Ce.tion that is welcome, and that ls the beginning of a special effort to fill the Pacific coast.If Japs and Chinamen are employed there, it is because white people are not to be had.The great obstacle has been the cost of rall- way tiekets.By an arrangement made by Gemeral Booth of the Salvation army with the C.P.R.this has been overcome and the first contingent of over 600 selected emigrants in Pngland and Scotland are now speeding thelr way across the Rockies.Should all go well, 10,000 will go to British Columbia before the summer ls over.On Monday Wilfrid Paquette waited on the manager of the Hochelaga cotton mill to demand that a sub-foreman be discharged and that the working hours be from 7 o'clock in the morning until 5 In the afternoon, instead of from .8.15 o'clock in the morning until 4, a8 at present.In reply, the manager replled the company intended running their mill as they thought best.On this Mr Paquette declared he would use his authority as president of the union to order a strike of the hands employed in the mill, and, more than that, cause the hands of the St.Henri, Magog, and Montmorenci mills to strike also.This is intolerable, that because a certain mill not managed to suit the head of a trades union he is going to cause other mills, miles on miles is away, and which have nothing to do with the.obnoxious sub-fore- man, to stop work.Such tyranny is the fruit of pur legislators vandering to the labor vote.It poems strange why arresting the operation of great manufacturing establishments should not be considered conspiracy in \u2018restraint of trade by our courts, Are people who Invest their money in\u2018 business to be at the mercy of Paquettes?We thipk the drink curse bad enough in Canada but it le as a baby compared with the traffic as it exists in Britain.It absorbs more of the people's earnings than the government taxes and ls the chief cause of the poverty which leaves a third of its \\n- habitants on the verge of want.Yet to secure any effective legislative remedy seems to be impossible, for so great is the capital supk in the traffic and so enormous the profite that attagks are easily.defeated, The present government has introduced a bit which provides for the gradual closing gf one-third of the places where drink is sold during the next 14 years, and altho this proposal is coupled with illieral com.vensation to the owners of the houses that jose lioense, there is no prospect of the measure becoming law, The Conservative leader, Mr Balfour, denounces the goverament bil) gs rophery, and his opposition to: the bill will probably ensure bis return to office, When it is stated there are over 100,000 licensed barrooms in Britain and the traffic has an estimated capital of 1200 mlilion dollars the difficulties in the way of attecting à change can be realised, Le BRYSONVILLE .One of the most pleasant evenings ever spent in this neighborhood, was at the home of Wm.Bryson.Arrangements had been made by LOF.Court Point peurs lu due Tori vf unique { 3 A - Round, No, 4688, to Invite

officers, The flags of all civilized nations, of which 18 were visible in the decorations, Selections of Music by A, McCaig, accompanied by Mre H.Nussey, was of such a quality as to call forth the fantastic step perhaps from those whose feet had not been so engaged for years, The organiger, J.B.Cooper, was present.Mr Bryson sald he would be pleaded to have Court Point Round come again, and offered all accommodations at his disposal for a lawn social the coming season.HOWICK Mr Loizeaux is holding a series of gospel meetings in the temperance hall this week which, however, owing to a combination of circumstances, are not largely attended.The hotelkeepers of this place have begun proceedings to have the prohibition by-law annulled, by preparing a petition to present to the secretary of the council.If 80 or more signatures are on this petition, the secretary will be obliged to give notice that the question of license or no Ii- cense ls abbut to be submitted to a poll.The council, however, can, at their discretion, grant or not grant licenses whether the liquor men succeed or not.George G.Stewart has been successful in selling his prizewinning mare, the Queen of Crieff, 18,662, to James W.Todd of Dewittville, Mr Ness has sold his French coaching stallion to Mz Labelle of Ste, Therese, a Clyde to Mr Miller of Arnprior and another to Mr Burbank of Danville.ae

Sunday Mr Nicholson ad- society.BEAUHARNOIS The 1st of March was not so lion-like, but the 2nd furnished one of the special storms of the season, providing work for some, of the needy ones in the city who are suffering from hard times.A eeizure was made here last week on two of our bakers\u2019 for carrying light-weight bread.They were sent to Valleyfleld to answer for their sins of omission, Result, many were reduced to pancakes and point\u2014at no butter, It seemed hard on those who had been working on short time and little pay all winter to lose a quarter or half pound out of each loaf

delegated to Ottawa, with a view of securing a house-to-house delivery \u2018of mall and to recommend improvement in the service given at the vost-office.Ever since th e new office has been bullt, the service has been the cause of complaint owing to the fact that the number of employees is too limited for\u2019 the amount of business done, Friday and Saturday were hurrah days for horse racing.Both sides of the canal bank were crowded with people, many of whom had come from neighboring towns and villages./ About 100 skaters in costume turned out Friday night at the Montreal Cotton Co.instityte's rink to attend the masquerade, The dresses were elegant and every one of the good natured crowd seemed to be out for the fun that could be had under the circumstances, Another masquerade, also of a nature to make old heads feel young again, was the one given at the Auditorium Saturday night, The costumes were quite up-to-date, Lent wae announced In the \u20acatholle church Sunday to start March

Latreille lost his life.The old man iived alone, in bachelor comfort, in a house on his farm, thres-quarters of a mile west of Casaville, and it would appear that he was in front of the stove, and.in

the issuing of license for the sale of intoxicating Iquors within this corporation.Another year's experience of that traffic has convinced us moze than ever of its evil nature.It is not only the injury wrought on those who frequent these drinking places, but the crushing sorrow and trouble endured by those connected with them and whose rights should b> considet- ed as well.As councillors,

and their analysis showed they were of passably uniform density, so that an gidition of a little over double : their volume converted them lilo ordinary milk, Naturally the people of this section would like to know how the milk of the Truro company compares with other brands The following: is a comparison as to quantity of butter-lat in cach sample, which iy a fair indication of the value of the cans, as the other solids of milk are in -pro- portion to the fat it contains, No two tins give \u2018exactly the same results, which is unavoidable, as milk varies in richness according to the
