just a thought or (wo, that I wish to bring before you.We listened, all of us,l am sure, with a great deal of satisfaction to the kindly welcome extended us hy our former President, and also with commendable pride to the graceful response of our young sister of the Coaticook W.C.\u2018T.U.1 feel that I would thunk you again in behalf of my sisters, for the invitation so gladly accepted, to make vour village our home during the brief period of our conference together, and while yours is the care and the labor, ours is the restful pleasure, the pleasant privilege of commencing together, renewing old acquaintances and forming new ones; and just here is a point which I wish to guard.In the pleasure and excitement of our Conventions, and even of the performance of those duties which we have met to report, let us not for a moment forget the first great need which led to the organization of the W.C.T.U.and Got} grant that the first weapons used by those early Ohio Crusaders may uot prove dull of edge, or slow of action, because unfaithfully wielded in the later days.Six years ago the taliswanic letters, *\u201cW.C.T.U.,\u201d fell upon many wondering or indifferent ears in the County of Stan- stead.Many of us failed to understand their wondetful import and few perhaps realized what a mighty force they were destined to represent.To be sure it was no new name to those sisters of this pioneer union of Quebec, perhaps I might well say of Canada.For cleven years has the white banver of the Woman's Cliris- tian \u2018Cemperance Union waved in our midst.All honor to the unwearied workers who rallied around the standard, even when the tide was at its ebb, when public opinion, before which, even princes bow, had not come out so boldly as now, on your side, when few, perhaps, of many voices were raised in defence of your organization ; when the world around you knew not the nature of the little sced that had fallen on such good ground, and was springing up into such fruitful life.But all this is changed, and to-day itis an honor and a pride to be sicounted\u201d in with the 300,000, is it not?who have clasped hands in an almost completed civele around the world\u2014who have wound the white ribbon in and ot among the zones and from pole to equator, and from equator to pole.But notwithstanding this wonderful progress, and the advanced temperance sentiment of the day, the sama great need stares us iu the face, the need of earnest, patient, prayerful labor; for, rest assured, the enemy has not been idle.Victims to the drink curse have heen multiplied, and would yon helieve it?men of influence, men of honor, have been led captive to the delusion, that this great evil should be regulated instead of abolished.In their devotion to this creed, they have unwittingly ranged themselves on the opposite side, and in addition to our lawful prey, the liquor- seller and the drunkard, we have also to contend with a far more deadly foe\u2014the respectable temperate class, who believe in *\u2018license,\u201d high or low.Our only hope for these, is that soon their eyes may he opened to the bu- miliating fact that they have been moving steadily along the same road, pulling at the same end of the rope with the soldiers of **King Bibber's Army in the chain-gang procession\u2014 the rag-robed procession, marching down, down, down to lhe grave.\u201d And Jere we come back to the guarded point.If we are a Christian Union, don't let us forget to pray for this, and pray with an earnestness born of convictions that He who in all ages, has fought and gained (heir battles; when His people Lave obeyed sod (rdsted Him, thut He, ie still faithful, and will cause all these seeming failures to work together for good.Oh! if every sister here and every worker will act up to this conviction, we shall have such a Convention as shall make the liquor traffic tremble for its future.Again dear sisters and friends in behalf of our eleven delegated Unions, L thank you for this pleasure, may we do good, and when we are done convening and working here below, may we each and all have an abundant entrance, and a royal welcome to the courts above, and a place at the Master's feet.Forward sisters! look not Incleward For our cause will surely win, And the right triumph grandly Over every form of sin, Onward sisters! do not falter *Mid the strife or in the march, Longest day shall have an ending, Darkest night some beacon torch.Seize it then with purpose holy, Fan it tu a gleaming flame, Blur it ever'an and upward Till it light up all che plain.Till the grand sham onlled license Which has ruled \u2018mid blood and storm, Be expored to Heaven's sunlight By our glorious reform.-._\u2026 A Toothpick Trust.Like all other

The Governor-General.A BRILLIANT RECEPTION IN TORONTO, Toroxro, Sept.11.\u2014Toronto ves- terday did honor to herself and to Canada\u2019s new Governor-General, Lord Stanley, of Preston.His Excellency received a right hearty welcome.\u2018Fhe proceedings were successful in every respect, and may be regarded ns a happy sugury of the Governor-Gen- eral\u2019's term of office.Nothing was lacking to give eclat to the occasion.The weather was brilliant, The addresses of welcome were numerous.and the replies most felicitous, Of the addresses delivered during the day ilie most important and most representative was perhaps that of the BOARD OF TRADE, and lis Excelleney's reply to this touched very delicately npon the question of our international relations.but in a spirit which will be appreciated throught the Dominion.His\u2019 references to the confident strength with which the Dominion maintains her attitude of quiet and dignified observation in the face of daily provocation in the United States Congress; the confidence which is entertained of tinding the new avenues for commerce should the old ways be blocked and the feeling that nothing can arrest the advancing prosperity of the Dominion were heartily applauded.11S EXCELLENCY said: \u201cThere are, of course, exceptions Lo every rule.There are times when men have to restrain what may be the most natural feeling, times it is the duty of the governinent no less thau the collective nation to preserve an attitude, it may be of digoi- fied silence, but of course equally it mag be accompanied by firmuess of purpose.You have referred\u2014and now I wander upon rather delicate ground\u2014to the satisfaction which was felt at the framing of a treaty by the Commissioners appointed by the British, United States and Canadian Governments for the purpose of settling the Fisheries question.Having been at that time a member of the British Cabinet which inaugurated these negotiations I shared with you the salis- faction which was so generally felt at the result of the negotiation and it 18 impossible to conceal a feeling of disappointment when that which has been looked upon as a fair compromise and as evidence of a compromise, is notwithstanding not accepted in the light in which it was originally intended.You will not expect me to enter into any discussion of the political aspects of the question, but I may say that it is a source of great satisfaction to sce the confident strength with which the Dominion, firmly relying qn the goodness of her own motives and the GOODNESS GF HER OWN CAUSE, is able to maintain an attitude of quiet and dignified observation and is able to feel certain that the volume of her trade, increasing as it does from day lu day, if it is denied one channel must find others, and that nothing, please God, which can be done by man will stop the advancing prosperity of this great Dominion.Now, they say, ho one knows people's affairs as well as their own neighbors.1 leave vou to apply Lhe aphorism, but this I do think.that we perhaps are ina frame of mind, possibly from a general sense of comfort, possibly an equally well placed sense of confidence, to appreciate passing events at thelr true value, and [ honestly tL ust that neither directly ov indirectly may we be tempted one atom from thal path of calmness, sound judgment and, above all, a feeling of genuine amity for those with whom we are breught in contact in commercial and social affaire.It is impossible lo bu- lieve that where nations are closely allied in blova and interest they can be put asunder eveu for a short, time and I ope and believe that these words which I have spoken will find a re- sponae in the bosoms of most of your community.Gentlemen, I trust § have not departed (rom Lhe impartiality wlich it is wy duty to observe, I kuow al the present wowment nothing of politics, my whole duty, my true pleasure, is to do all thot in me lies to the best of my humble power, loadvance

Educational Department, formally open the lu.dustrial Exhibition, visit the Public Library and the residence of Ald.Hallam.ep Why They Break Down.It may almost he said\u2019 to be a question whether any people give up more time to recreation than those of the United States.It is true that they have still much to learn of the vittues of simple pleasures, bul it cannot Le denied thal they are waking famous progress in the art of enjoving themselves, It should not be forgotten, cither, that a large portion of the cases of breakdown, of whirh we bear so much, are not the result of American over- strenuousness in business, as is curiously supposed, but simply of dissipation.There are maay examples of this, to which tle newspapers are too charitable to direct the public attention.It is the man who spends his night in vice and folly who (ravels the downward rond to general paresis far oftencr than the man who spends the day in labor, cven of a loo exacting kind.The human body can

\u2014The President to-day sent a message to the Senate, in response to the resolution introduced by Senator Hoar calling for copics of all communications which have been addressed by his direction to the Government of Great Britain vemonstraling against diecrimination against American vessels on Canadian canals.With respert to the enquiry so far as it relates to the canals, the President transmits copies of corres- ponce between the Department of State and the United States consul at Ouuawa, between the Department of State and the British minister, copies of orders of the Canadian officials in regard to this subject, and of the answer of the acting Secretary of the Treasury to the resclution laid licfore the house on January 23rd.On the subject of correspondence which has taken place with respect to the denial to Awerican fishermen of the right of transportation of fish or othier cargoes in bond, the President says: It will be remembered that though the fishing articles of the treaty of 1871 expired on the 1st of July, 1885, a temporary arrangement was made whereby the privileges accorded to our fishermen under said articles were continued during the ve- mainder of that yeas fishing season.No instance of refusal hy Canadian authorities since July 1, 1885, up to the present time to allow the entry at Dominion sea ports of American cargoes other than fish for transporation in bond acruss the territory of Canada to the United States has Leen made known to the Department of State.FISH SHIPMENT IN BOND.\u201cThe case of the vessel Novelty, involving among other things a refusal on July 1, 1886, the right to permit the transportation of fish in bond at the port of Pictou, was com- municaled to Congress in my message of December 8th, 1886, n copy of which I herewith transmit.\u201d In this document, which has already been made public, lie says, will be found a copy of a communication addressed by the Secretary of State to the British minister dated June 14, 1886, on the subject of the refusal of transportation of fish in bond, and also the pro- teslof the Secretary of State in the case of the Novelty and the response of the British Minister.The President says the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations has been supplied with a list of cases of alleged ill-treatment of our fishing vessels in Canadian waters, and as relating to the subject of the resolution lie quotes the following \u2018point in passage\u201d from Mr.Ed- munds\u2019 report as of interest :\u2014 *Toucliing commercial gud othe: friendly intercourse between ports ali places in the Dominion and the United States, it is of course of much importance that regulations affecting the same should be mutually reasonable and fair.If an American vessel should happen to have caught a cargo of fish at sea a hundred miles distant from some Canadian port from which there is railway communication to the United States, and should be denied the privilege of landing and shipping its cargo therefrom to the United States, it would be of course a serious diead- vantage, aud there is, it is thought, nothing in the treaty of 1318 which would warrant such an exclusion.But the Dominion laws may make such a distinction and itis understood that in fact the privilege of so shipping fish has been 1cfused during tie last year.\u201d NO CAUSE FOR COMPLAINT NOW, In answer to the concluding enquiry as to what instances have occurred since March 8rd, of wrongs to American vessels in the ports of British North America, ail what steps have been taken in that respect, the President says: \u2018\u2018Soon ufler (Le passage of the act the negotiations, which had been proceeding for several months previously, progressed actively: und the proposed conference amd tlie prée- ence at this Cupitol of the plenipoten- tlaries of tiie two Governments, out uf which the since rejected treaty of February 8, 1888, eventuated, hal their natural influence in repressing causes of complaint in relation to the fisheries, Therefore, since March 3, 1887, no case has been reported to the Department of State whercin com- plant was made of unlawful treatment of Awerican fishing vessels on the part of Canada in which reparation was not promptly anil satisfactorily obtained by the United States, A single case of alleged unjust treatment of a merchant vessel has been reported since March 3, 1887.\u201d THE BRIDGEWATER CASE.In couclusion, the President explains that this was the case of the ship Bridgewater, which was made the subject of a commuication to the British Government on June 22ud 1888, and to which no further reply las been reccivec.The case of steamer Bridgewater to which the President vefers is the subject of a communication dated June 22, 1888, from Secretary Bayard to Mr.Edwards.She was disabled by a storm and on April 5, 1887, put into Shelburne, N.S., for repairs, was surveyed and con- demaed and her cargo discharged.While the repairs were progressing the vessel was seized for non-payment of duties, but subsequently unconditionally released.The Secretary says: \u2018\u2019A claim for $20,000 damages has heen presented to the Government at Ottawa, but the claimant has failed to secure its recognition and has been informed that he Las no redress in the courts against tiie officers of the Crown.Should these facts be as stated, itis hoped the clair will be recognized and proper compensation awarded.\u201d THE CANAL TOLLS TROUBLE.A letter from the Scerctary of the Treasury to the Secretary of State, in which he calls attention to that part of the report of the Commission of Navigation reluting to aa alleged discrimination by the Canadian Government in the wattee of the navigation of the Welland casual, and says it is understood the discriminations still exist, is included, A letter from Secretary Bayard tw Minister West, dated on July 21st lest, is as ful- lows : \u2014 \u2018\u2018Sin,\u2014I have the honor to cuclose herewith a copy of a letter from the \u2018Treasury Departinent of the 10th inst.i relation to an alleged discrimination against American vessels passing through the Welland canal.By the twenty-seventh article of the treaty of Washington, Her Majesty's Government undertook to urge upon the Government of the Dominion of Canada to grapt the citizens of the United States the use of the Welland and other canals, on terms of equality with the inbabitants of the Dominion.On the other hand the Government of the United States promised to secure ne far ap possible reciprocally equal treatment of inhabitants of the Dominion.The Department is informed that such equality of treatment now exists in the United States.I will thank yop to bring this matter to the attention of the Canadian Government.\u201d Mr.West, in reply, nnder date of August 3rd last, transmits 8 çopy of a communication of the Honorable the Privy Council.of Cauada as follows: \u201cAt the present time the tolls charged on all goods and merchandise passing through the Welland canal bound for any Lake Ontario ports are the same, whether, for example, the destination of such merchandise be Toronto, Prescott, or Os- wego, or Ogdensburg on the south.Wheat and certain other cereals pay two cents per ton for passage through both the Welland and St.Lawrence canals to Moutreal or any poipt en the St.Lawrence canal system uhoct of Montreal without discrimination to- ports on the north or south shore, and.the same cereals shipped from any part on Lake Ontario, whether American or Canadian, to Montreal pay two cents per ton for passage through the whole of the St.Lawrence canals.\u201d WHAT WILL THE SENATORS DO?Senator Sherman eaid vosterday that the retaliation bill woald be.reported back to the Sensie by the Committes on Foreign Affairs with all possible despatch.A majority of the Republican senators sre in favor of striking out the first section - whick relates to railroad traffle, and it is even said that it has been formally decided by ihe Republicans to recommend this course and to substitue for the section the wording of the retaliation act of 1887.The Senators feel encouraged by the eleotion in Maine, and believe that the President's message did not accomplish its purpose, and that the prospest of culling off railroad traffic with Canada is not popular with the people.Senator Kdmunds in particular is koows to be opposed to the first section of the house act.He is a member of the Committee on Foreign Affairs, and bis voice will be polent in arcanging the Republican attitude on this ques- toin.- cE\u2014\u2014 That Noble Animal, Man.[Bob Bardette.] Dearly beloved, it is natural for weak, finite man to turn to the clown for funny things, but really some of the funniest

and drink at à temperature ns remote as possible from that of the body.Ice-water drinking is a national habit, aud ice cream is à national dish, predilection for which runs through all classes of society, and becomes a binding force in social sud, we tight add, scientific and religious gatherings.Americans should, thercfore, take an interest in the experimental researches on the temperature of our food and drink made by certain foreign savants wlinse names sre, as usual, hyperplastic with consonants just in proportion to the rigidity of their science and the seriousness of their inquiries.The temperature of our (ood and drinks was treatest of by Von Spath and Kostjurin a year ago ( Munchener Medic Wochenschr., 1886, p.533), and more recently by Uffelmann, of Rostock (Ibid., 1887, p.999).Professor Uffelmann reviews the work of his poedeccesors, and draws his conclusions partly from this and partly from his own experiments.\u2018They bear first upon the temperature of ingesta in liealth, and the rules laid down are: 1.That, in general, a temperature of food and drink which approaches that of the blood is most healthful.For nurslings such temperature is essential.2.For quenching the thirst, the bast temperature is from 50° F.Lo 68° F.\u2018The favorite American Temperature is, as is well kuown, 82° F., and an issue is raised at once between Professor Uffelmaw; aml the American nation.8.The ingestion of very bot or very cold foud or drink in health has a damaging effect, whieh is increased just in proportion to the rapidity with which the hot or cold substance is taken.Hence the gulping down, of iee water or hot coffee, elc., means eventually, according to the light we are quoting, a mere ventral damnation.If a person takes a rink for the parpose of warming himsel(, as in cold weather, he can accomplish this by having the drick at a temperature of 116° to 120° F.4.The use.of very bot and cold substances, following or alternating, is injurious to the teeth.But the taking of cold water lepsens the injurious action of extremly hot substances upon the atomach.5.Ingestion of cold food and drinks lessens the bodily temperatare, whether it be normal or febrile.6.Cold fluids lessen the hyperirri- tability of the stomach.Co .Cold ingesta raise the tone of the stomach, increase peristalsis; \u2018and promote movement of the bowels, Cold food and drinks increase the.tendency to cough, according to Uf- felmann, by causing reflexly a congestion of \u2018the bronchial tubes.Mence, persons with bronchial disease opght not to indulge in cold drinks.It is, however, a common custom to give persons who enffer from plumonary hemorrhage ice to swallow; and, according to the view stated, this would be an injurions practice.Hot food and drinks stimulate the stomach more than cold.But after repeated use they lessen the toous of the digestive tract, and cause congestion and dyspepsia.This condition has been observed after the so- called hot water cure.Hot drinks tend to lessen bronchial irritation, aud this is one cause, possibly, of the success in some cases of the hot water treatment of cousumption.\u2014[ Medical Record, * dif The Eskimo\u2019s Love of Home.[From the American Magasine.] Why buman beinga lave been found living in this loge land of desolation, has given rise to no little lhe- orising and specalation, the bulk of which seems to be that they are cruelly forced to abide here by the supposed greater strength of the savages south of them.My own ideas are with the \u2018\u2018respectable minority,\u201d which helieves that tliey are found in these regions for the same reasons that we find the muskox aud the wai-.rus and the reindeer; that is, it suits their peculiar temperament and disposition better than any other climate or condition probally could, and they are no more forced into the frigid zone by ether savages than the animais named are held there by the antelope, buffalo, or caribou of lower latitudes.When they are taken from their hy- perborean homes they are as restless to return ns the castaways in their own land are to get back to civilization, and, singular enough, despite all their desolate surroundings, they are the most happy and contented rave, savage or civilised, in the four corners of the earth, sithough it is the ooklest corner.The tale told by Capt.Hall of the deep longings of the sick and sinking Eskimo, Kudalo, to sce his land of ice aml snow before ho died, and his Joy on being carried to the deck of the Artic-bownd ship when the first iceberg was sighted, is as pathetic as any ever told of the re- torn of Arctic refugees to their land of flowers and forests; and cleatly shows that patriotism and love of home is circumscribed by no paraliels of latitude nor influenced by climatic conditions.Wherever the Indians and Eskimo have come in contact in an aggressive way, the northern nomads have steadily pushed back their copper-colored neighbors, and the only places where they\u2014the Eskimo\u2014 have penetrated far inland to reside, is along the Yukon and Kouskoquim rivers of Alaska.Here they have elbowed out thé Indian for some hue- 1 dreds of

appointment of District wagistrates by the Premier of Quebec, he having appointed two such magistrates.The only reason given by the Attorney-General is that the ap- puiutwents were not within the powers of local governments, and were cousequently unconstitutional.Mr.Mercier is enraged at this, aud spe peals, oot to the Supreme Court or the Privy Council, but to tbe people.Well, the people, after due consideration, are not liable te got up any deep feeling because the Premier could not appoint two of his zealous friends to lucrative offices.The power of appointing District Judges 1s reserved to the Federal Government.Mr.Mercier has his usual luck in another way, however, having induced a Legislature Councillor to resign his seat ia the Council with a view to accept a judgeship, thus creating a vacancy in that body which he can fill by appointing one of bis friends, and thus get a majority in that body.In an address to the people of Moutreal at an open air meeting on \u2018Thursday evening last, Mr.Mercier said that the appointments had been vetoed on the ground that the Quebec government bad not the right Lo name the District magistrates, nor say in what manner they should sit, which he prenounced to be bad law, and wound up by saying, \u2018\u201cThe present act has been vetoed really because it comes from Quebec; because it is Catholic and French Canadian and not Protestant and English.The act is constitutional, and has hLecn disallowed for political motives, Sir John desiring to be revenged on the Quebec government.We appointed the distinguished juris-consult, Dennis Barry, an Irish Catholic, and it is an insult lo his race.It is the beginning of the fight.We regret it, but we will not retreat.The Province of Quebec must not be despised or treated with disdain.It must be remembered that the treaty is not retroactive.The nomination and payment of the magistrates is legal.They have been appointed and they will remain in office, aud you must know that no veto can have any power until a proclamation has been issued by the Lieut.-Governor\u2014I have no right to say more.\u201d Mr.Laurier also spoke, and advised making it an issue in the coming election in East Montreal.pe Pitcher the fugitive offender who came to Canada with money in his possession belonging to the Union Bank, of Providence, of which he was an official, having been tried and found guilty of bringing stolen money to this country, should be the means of warning others of his ilk who may contemplate imakiug Montreal their city of refuge, to keep at a respectful distance.1t should serve as a «anger signal.Canada is sometigies reflected upon by American journals for harboring fugitive offenders.The fact is, however, that the fault does not lie with Cauada.This country gave ils assent to a measure for the extradition of criminals some years ago, but it Las never been able to secure the endorsation of the United States Government.Canada went even further than this, as it put a clause in the statute book to the effect that all fugitive offenders not accused of political offences would be handed over by the Government of this country for trial whenever the Government of the Umted States agreed to a like condition.A mutual interchange of boodlers would be an interesting spectacle, and the effect on weak- kneed houeaty or both sides of the border would be of a salutary kind.Canada\u2019s anxiety to put à stop Lo the scandal of this country being made a liaven of refuge for American defaulters could be shown in no better way than by the passage and en- orcement of the act which enables fugitive offenders like Pitcher to be convicted of bringing stolen mouey into the country.This country neither needs stolen money nor the men who steal it.\u2014[ Montreal Star.[The penalty affixed for the crime Pitcher was guilty of, is limited to 14 years imprisonment.) Fe BD saliowance (Questi Au the subject of disallowance ob wveral Acts passed hy the Quebre Togislature 16 likely to excite attention, it ue well Wo remind our readers of the source of the power of the Dowin- ion Government to exercise authority in this repect.Before Confederation measures passed by the legislature under the Union Act of 1840 were subject to disallowance hy the Imperial Government, and this power iv still retained so far as regarde Do- winion Statutes.The British North America Act provides sec.56 that ++Where the Governor General assents to a Bill in the Queen's

St Clair canal (au it iv called) is only the revival of a matter that bas before been the theme of 8 gud deal of discussion, fruitless chiefly because there was no real cause for at.It would not be renewed now, probably, but that the exigencies of the presidential election have dragged a number of extraneous matters into the field of partizan politics, among them the relations of the United States with British America.As it bas heen revived, however, it may be depended upon that in case of necessity the Canadian and British Government will sce that nothing is permiticd to pass without protest that is calculated to infringe upou our territorial Jurisdiction.Not that any real necessity for this is likely to arise, or that the matter should be made one of the international dispute.The interest of neither country is to be advanced by anything that will wake their mutyal waterways the scene of petty annoyance to the citizens who make use of them in common.The United States constructed the St.Clair flats canal, which is only a channel rather aver a mile in length dredged oul in a shallow pait of the lake, not unlike the work undertaken by Montreal Harbor commisssione1s under similar cireum- stances in Lake St.Peter.In Lake St.Clair, however, the dredged material thrown pup on euch gide, forins embankments, between which the vessels pass.\u2018The luternational boundary line rons midway between the two shores, and there is no question that a considerable part of one of these banks lies within Cangda's territorial waters, one entrance being altogether within this country\u2019s jurisdiction.Two gentjepmuen, Mr.Foster, P.L.S., and Captain Cameron, R.E., both, however, acting solely on their own ac- couat so far as the United States is concerned, have reported jn this seuse.Clearly, then, if these premises be correct, the ['nited States, even though it pajd for the work, cannot claim sovereign jyrisdiction over such part of it as lies in Canadign waters; and no act of Canada short of absolute treaty cession can divest her of her paramount right, \u2018The St.Clair canal must continue open to her traffic just as to that of the United States, and just as works which she has undertaken for the improyment of the navigation of the international waterway will remain open to vessels of the Re- publie, The talk being indulged in of the Uulted states closing this channel to Canadian commerce, snd Canada retaliating by blocking the way to another of equal commercial impor- tange, is very small business, and it is not a matter of regret on our side of the line that our neighbors are having almost a monopoly of it.\u2014Montreal Guzette.- Eo \u2014 re New Publications, The excellence of Haueenw's Maca- zix# for Qetober is apparent even

\u201cThere is no truth in the widely published statement that the Kuglish Government peremptarily ordered the Canadian Execytive to maintain strict silence when the fishery question came up, or that Canada was debarred from acting at present.While the whole matter rests in the hands of Great Britain, I gm well aware,\u201d continyed Sir John, \u201cthat such statements have been made and they have gained general credence, but the sober facts are that the Canadian Government has fuil right and power to aot in this matter itself and that it will du so without reference to the Mother Country.The policy of the Cunaili- an Government will be to await developments in the United States.By this [ mesn that the only question from which trouble can arise velates to the fishing.The fishing season has just closed and it will not open again till May.In other words, it will be fully eight mouths before the United States will have any chance to bring up that question again.Until that time we will do absolutely notk- ing unless President Cleveland makes sone unexpected move, which is not probable, even if the Senate should grant him the asked-for power.Nothing can come of all the present discussion, therefore, for eight months, and before the expiration of that time things may lave assumed a quieter aspect.\u201d bo Alls + Will some of those Liberal newspapers which want Canada to buy aff the authors of the retaliatory threat hy presenting the United Staizs with the freedom of our fisheries and our markets, explain after they have their way what they would purchase
