the second means that in the opinion of Mr.Chariton and the Ngierous petitioners, clerical and lay, who lave petitioned Parliament In favor of the BEI, we can only secure such an observance ot the day of rest as is consonant with opinion by penal legisla- which seems to suggest that \\ opinion is balnfully weak, ot one of the opponents ot the séduction bill will deny that the eeducer is worthy of stripes, and many ot them keenly rogret that thoy have not the wer to lash these offenders as they deserve.public morality were not painfully low fé, would be less reduction, and If public hfôn were not painfully weak there would 30 DO Decessity for legal penalties to punish the ein.Mr.Chariton himself rofuses to npptigon the woman, who is frequently quite ; y asthe man.Why?Because public TON, such as It is, seficientiy punishes Woman, argues Mr.Charlton, makes ber & scclal outoast.ut becauss public opinion is sn be man, Mr.Charlton proposes even at lo risk tothe public safety to punish by act of parliament for tho sin of \u2014 Wéégétion.The national hypocrisy suggest- - by tho position is shoeing revolting.society is horrified at the h.deons sin of sodugion.As well it might be, and places on Mature books a luw which places the unger on a level with the vulgar offender fitonls.But this same socist y which has ; ing but the Ænol for aedurers as a class, nothing but smiles tor the seducer individually.His offence is condoned as a slight indiscretion, and Instead of being banished from decent society ns is the woman, he là welcomed and with the full knowledge that he is guilty of offence which itis propased to punish - Nik fmprisonment, society will mos only' dive him its hospitality.it will give him its TH weak that it has no punishment b daughters in marriage.Who ever heard of & man's matrimonial chaness being destroyed by his character as a libertine.He may wecl With à refusal or two où that account, but on the whole his value M the matrimonial market is but little depreciated.Let us have no hypocrisy In dealing with this question, let our legislation fairly repre sont the state of public opinion and let the conscientious well meaning re formers who acek to purify soclety commence at the right end.Have thoy lost all faith in moral influence?Have they lost ali faith in Cb:tstian influences that they seek to exterminate the devil by act of Par- lament?Make the selfishness, the meanness, tise wickedness of seduction apparent as a Kind of moral leprosy.Teach men to Late the wrong because It 18 wrong and not lor fear of à Charlton Act.Muko the soducer feel that he is out of place in decent socloty 80 that his guilty conscience will ery out \u201cunclean! unclean!\u201d in the presence of anything less vile than himself.Then it will be | timo enough to consider the propriety of making this sin a crime punishable by im- vrisonment.The less we depend upon legislation to keep us virtuous the stronger and sturdler will be our virtue.NOTE AND COMMENT.In case the decision of the Privy Council should be adverse to us, we maintain that there should be a revision of the constitution.At any cost, we nist preserve our provincial autonomy, and that can only be oy the provinces holding suflicient powers and revenues, so that our organization may be truly u Confederation of provinces, aud uot a Legislative Union in disguise.- La inerve, : Do not our Interests and the future of our provincial institutions, make it a duty for us fo rally around Blake?Does the stand taken by him during this session, on religious and provincial questions, allow any Catholic sad rench Canadian to continue tu support Sir John, the man who effected Confe-lera- tion, toarrive at Legislative Union, nnd who follows out this project with extraordinary perseverauce and energy.\u2014 La Tribune.Sir Jobn Macdonald a few days ago an- nouuced that his govermnent had decided to afford the same facilities as enjoyed by European immigrants to Freneh Canadian immigrants desirous of returning home.This declaration will probably havea marked effect ou their repatriation.\u201cAlthough much precious time has been lost to the national cause, we nevertheless hail with pleasure this determination of the government, as wo are persuaded it will be attended with the best results \u2014 La Afinerve.We can conceive the astonishment of the Conservatives at seeing our friends rejecting a candidature accepted by Mr.Mercler.When one is a Conservative In the true sense of the word, he has not the right of thinking freely hes restricted to servile obedtencs.- Liberalism, ou the contrary slavery and sarvilliy.One is a Liberal because he recognizes the right of freedom of thought.Thence thoso differences of opinion which sometimes arise on question ol secondiry impurtance.\u2014 La atrie.There is no denying the fact that the pro- vipees bave jurisdiction in the license question.And Sir John is trving to deprive them of it, ard the proceeding to which Messrs.Langevin, Chapleau aud Caron, our representatives in the Executive, have lent thetnselves, means that they abandon our rights.Thanks to our divisions, the Prime Minister is master of the situation, and he profits 8 it to domineer and securo the triumph of'those ideas of centralization, which he was forced to abandon in the lite- time ot Cartier.\u2014L'Erènement.If there is any hesitation about the ap- polutment of Mr.Decelles, whose aptitudes, tastes and acquirements are appreciated by all competent judges, it is for the reason that heis a French Canadian.We have nothing to say against the editor-in-chief of the Mail being appointed assistant librarian, in spite of the meagre sympathy entertained towards him by Parliament, but tbat he should fill the place that belongs to us of right; that Mr.Decelles be excluded because he is our compatriot would be a flagrant injustice, an indignity, a concession which our French Canadian \u2018ministers will not be guilty of.let us hope.\u2014L'Erénement.You accuse Mr.Chapleau of treason.® # + + The (hurierr vaguely defines its accusation In these words: \u201c & minister falls in loyalty and {pn ministerial solidarity ;\u201d which m doubtless, to work ugainst colleagues.And this of a man that for twenty years excludes has been hard at work, on\u201d every busting, at overy meeting, at every session, a man whom the nservative party has heen accustomed to look upon ae its most efficient orator ; who has been leader of the Quebec Government, and is now Minister at Ottawa.Yes, but Mr.Chap- leau has not followed in the exact footste of Nir Hector Langevin! And wherein?On the question of the recognition of the claims of Quebec.What a terrible accusation! Mr.Chapleau has done too much for the Province of Quebec! He was disloval to Sir Hector Langevin, who probably was not in quite such a hurry ! hat does this mean ?\u2014 Le Monde.CIVIC AFFAIRS.The Market Committee.At a meeting of the above committee held

in the stuffy and warm hlegisiative ball, while the sun was shining so Slorlously outside, and the air was redolent with a Springtime aroma.And so they r stayed away, Those who did turn up at- F tended to their own business and allowed the members of Lhe Government to look af- tor theirs.And iv order not to disturb the quietness which prevailed, the Cabinot min- Isters spoke in ost duleet tones and gentle Whispers, and the Opposition leaders replied In a similar manner, much to the \u2018Krutification at the other members, who were sick and tired of hearing interminable floods of talk, and to the despair of the ro- porters, who leaned half way over the parapets, jn a vain endeavor to make out what point the eloquent Cabinet minister was elucidating or what the critical Opposition tribune was objecting to.Days like unto yesterday are the terrors of the newspaper + men.Just imagine the disgust which Tests Upon the faces of two dozen journalists whose business il is to hear

correspondent.\u201d whose duty it is to point out tbe beinousnessiof the \u2018other party\u201d suddenly linds bis unusually large and unique collection of adjeciives inereased by a number of epitbets, suiphurous in their ori in, and iniluminatory in their nature.If the Hon.Jobn Costigan suddenly finds himself unpopular with the newspaper profession, he Will oniy have to thank himself for it, for 8bything more exasperatingiy modest and Tiniid Lhab Lhe remarks he saw fit to make last night, it would be extremely hard Lo Lragine.A good deal of work fell upon him, aad be cannot be congratulated upon the munver iu which he executed it.He ovident- ly bad not studied up the very acts he was introducing, and found it almost impossible Lu auswer simple interrogatories addressed to Liu by Opposition 1uembers.He introduced à resolution s\u2018attng that it is expe- dieut to amend the General Inspection Act of 1874.lu its udgina) form the resolution consisted of seven clauses, but tive were SITUGK out and as at present the resolution provides that a Deputy Inspector baving an interest In an article inspected by him shall incur a erally, and that the several qualifies of orgs shall be more precisely ddfined.One of the clauses whic was struck out provided that fishermen may be appointed Deputy Inspeciors of fish, and the causo of ls being expunged was simply that it would naturally be unjair for fishermen to bave the pawer of judging their own fish.This was tried in Newfoundland, and resulted, Hist as it might be expected to in the inspectors marking old, rotten, an third rate fish as No.A number of speakers, however, contended that it was only fishermen who could really become effi- Gent inspectors, and thought\u2019 they should pe appointed with a restriction that they should not pass à judgment on their own products.Upon examination it was found that the original law which these resolutions almed at amending did not probibit flaher- men from becomi inspectors, and as the clause was thus entirely unnecessary, It was allowed to fall.Mr.Costigan Also supported tie secoud reading of the GAS ACT.The numerous deputatios whld*rrived in foro some days ago to expostal.e with the Minister of Inland Revenue on the heinous hess of the crime of tinkering with gas meters or the burning power ot gas has had an effect and the bill appears in an amended state.The quality of gas tobe supplied is to brof 16 sperm candice power.Any gas company furnishing gus containi traces of | quiphuretted vdrogen shal incur a penalty of $30 iI the company have over 4,000 consumers, $20 if the \u2018number of consumers is between 1,000 and 4,000, aud $10 if the consumers are lees than 1,000 in umber.The penalties will be doubled for subsequent offncos.Every gas company shall keep the public informed of the illuminating power of its gas by posting up a certificate from the official in- spertor, in their office.The gas of ail companies with over 4000 patrons shall be tested weekly; companies with between 3,000 and 3,000 consumers shall be subjected to a monthly one; companies between 5G0 and 2,000, uarterly, and companies with less than 500 cousuiners half yearly.Ntuminatinæ gas shall be considered as impure when it contains 8ibMoni& in apy quantity exceeding four rains per one hundred cubic feet, or sulphur in otiaer forms than suiphuretted hydrogen iz any quantity exceeding thirty-five grains per one hundred cubic feet.There waa con- stderable discussion in & tea-tablo toue of voice, the bill ultimately passing its second reading.Mr.Costigan's coal law was thon taken up, which provides for the sale of ail coal by weight in place of measure, and drow forth from Mr.Mills a protest that this was properly a rubject for provincial legislation, as it related rather to the making of contracts than to anything treating of the trade of the Country, During the discussion which followed, + D.W.\u2018Allison, \u201ctbe man who carried Lennox,\u201d made his maiden speech by making a few remarks about the weight of American coal.It did pot last long enough to give one an opportunity of forming a judgment, but as it was almost entirely composed of flzures, I suspect it was meant tobe a rebuke to those irreverent Conservative editors up west, who, in criticizing a speech recently delivered or Mr.Allison at Napanee, remarked that he didn\u2019t know that two and two make four and tbat the hat ought to be passed around to send him to school to give him an opportunity of learning addition and other elementary sciences.A number of other government measures also received their second reading, among being Mr.Bowell'samendments to the me Act, a synopsis of the provisions of which I gave a day or so ago.THE

answer toa call on the part of Mr.Curran - for copies of all correspondence relative to the necessity of further sceom- modatién for foot passengers at Wellington Bridge, Lachine Canal.The first letter Is from Gro.D.Apsley, then City Surveyor of Montreal, dated 23rd December, 1881, polnt- ing out the necessity for the better accommodation of foot ngers on the bridge, which \u2019was greatly utilized by teams, vehicles, cattle, etc, that lt was almost Impossible for rians to cross.The receipt of the letter was acknowledged and nothing waa then done until the latter part of tha following March, when a letter was received from E.H.Parent, Superintendènt-Engineer of the Canal, in which the project is considered in- gâvisable, on the ground of tbe cost and \u20181888 structural difficulties Involy à.- He was requested by the department in the following ust 3 suggest some feasible means by ha Dei of crçesing £be canal at this nt may be afforded to t passengers in dition to the present accomm ation.\u201d This letter rema ned unanswered and the BF pect bas been in slats quo ever sinve.Over the one most in look correspondence ls the length of time required to answer a simple business letter.Mr.Ansley's letter was written on 23rd December, 1681 ; un the 30th December 8 reply is mailed; nothing is then heard of it untfl the 24th March, 1882, when Mr.Parent writes to the department giving bis views on the subject, and it took the Secretary of the Department of Railways and Canals just five months to receive this letter, cogitate on it, and writaa reply asking for furtber information, which demand is coolly ignored by the subordinate, and the whole thing falls through.If this is the manner in which our public affairs are carried on, it is about time the fossils received a severe shaking up.= \u201cBIG PUSH\" WILKINSON.This gentleman is receiving considerable attention from Mr.Blake, who had twp motions on the order paper yesterday.In reply to the frst motion thé Government said that no promise or assurance had ever been given by any member of the Government to John A.Wilkinson that be would be recommended for the Registrarship of Cal- ary.Bir John had, Lowever, promised im abou: a year ago that ho would recommend him for the Rogistrarship of Edmonton.He refused.to state whether these promises and assurances were slill in exigtence, but said, that there been no correspondence on the subject with Witkinson, other than a letter already made known fo the public by the newspapers of the country, The second question was concerning the moneys paid to this individual, in connection with the census, and elicited the reply that he had received $200 for investigations of industrial establish- monts.THE EVENTNG SESSION.It generally bappens that when the ses- Bon prior to recess is extremely dull, the night sitting is lively and interesting, and last night was no exception to the general rule.Upon the motion to go into supply being put, Mr.Paterson moved an nmend- ment stating that the House disapproves of the policy of aiding mechanics or any other laborera other than those destined for agricultural purposes.When this gentle- -Mau gets on his feet tbe question is not \u201cWho struck Billy Paterson\u201c but \u201cWho will Billy Paterson strike?\u201d and as he is a hard hitter, a considerable amount of dodging takes place in tha Ministerial runks.The whole question of emigration and 1mmi- gration was brought up in his speech, which almed at showing that the policy of the Government in assisting chanics to this country exercised a disastrous 1n- fluence upon the wages paid to that class of people in this country.He spoke Tor considerably over an hour in bis usually vigorous manner, and his view of the case was subsequently supported vy Dr.Rinfret, Mr.John Charfron avd Hon.Edward Blake, the latter's speech being, of course, the strungest presentation of the case.Hao aimed at showing that Lhe population of Canada had not increased with that rapidit y which might be expected, and that this slow increase was «ne to the loss we are yearly incurring by, our old leaving by , populat on thousands for the Umted States and hy the immigrants flocking into the country, staying but a short tine and then crossing the line also.He stated that the im migration roturns from Canada to the United States are strictly accurate.He attacked the principle of assisted emigration altogether, and insisted that it ought not to be put now when the labor market bere is glutted.The Conservatives who replied were Sir Hector Langevin, My.Curran and Mr.Thos.White, who did extremely well, consider that a debate invoiving the care fullest and minutest arithmetical calculations was sprung upon them suddenly by opponents who had been studving up the questions for days before.Under these circumstances thelr speeches could not be otherwise than disjointed and bricf.The entire thread of their remarks simply was that the Liberals were altogether astray.The debate went on until one o'clock when Mr.Hesaon, wie is one of the bores o the House, got up to speak.The Premier, who wanted the subject brought to an end, turned around and sbaiply ordered him to sit down, which he did, his face suffused with all the glories of a tropical sunset.Tho amendment was of course voted down by a large majority.The House then went into committee of the whole in supply and sat for an bour or so longer.INTERESTING CORRESPONDENCE The returns o! correspondence asked for by Mr.Mitchell between the Mackenzie Government and Sir John Rose and Messrs.Baring and Giynn, touching the conduct of Mr, Potter In decrying the credit of Canada, and also correspondence between Mr.Potter and the late Government, were brought down to-day.As the correspondence between IF Mr.Mackenzie and Sir John Rose was departmental, no record could be found, but as for the second request two lengthy let- tors, one from Mr.Potter and (he other from Mr.Brydges, and both addresed to Mr.Mackenzie, were produced.\u2018lhe letter from Mr.Potter is dated October, 1875, and refers to an official letter from Mr.Brydges to Mr.Mackenzie commenting on a letter of his own published in the Lou- don Times in the previous July.In that letter it would seem as if Mr.Brydges had accused Mr.Potter of running down the Canadian railways and the country itself, and attempting to prevent the Canadian loan from being floated.Mr.Pottar, in his communication, defends the ground taken by him in the published letter, and quotes from a number of lotters written and speeches mnde by Mr.Brydges when he was connected with the Grand T'ruok Rai!- road, in order to show that that gentleman was then of the same opinion n3 himself and - persistently ran down the rame measures and enterprises beafterwards praised highly.The second letter is a reply to this epistle by Mr.Brydges, written in December of tha sume year, complaining that Mr.Potter, in voting from theee, was violating a confi- ence, As t.v were of a aemi-private nature.The lettor then discusses at length each clause of Mr.Potter's letter, pointing out various mistakes and mis-statements both in facts and figures.8T.PATRICK'S SOCIETY.Mr.Dennis Barry Elected President.The members of St.Patrick's Soclety held a caucus last evening for the purpose of electing the officers for the ensuing

widowhood\u2014even though unbereaved, cause unloving\u2014should have been thus be gulled into any iuterest, far less any discus siun ubout subjects alien to her melanchoiy situation.As to Philip Lester's heartless and indecorous disregard of the etiquette of grief in proposing any topic not in strict harimon with the dismal crape draperies of his Tale tlent\u2014well, there's no telling what severe ity of criticistn that did not merit.Mrs.Grundy is far too proper a to make allowance of expense for the heed of light, and warmth, avd freshness that the poor, pale prisoner within the double walls of gloom and horror must have had, or for the eager thirst with which the sad lips, wearled of their draughts of gall, must have quaffed the cup of reviving sympathy and pleasantry that youth held to youth.LE But we, dear reader, are not crested with - Dame Grundy's cup uf propriety, and understand poor Katherine's enjoyment brave, true, honest-souled Philip \u201cLester's incidental and diverting talk, We can feel the waves of gentler feeli: well gratefully up from her long repressed heart to meet the noble offering of a good: man's friendship, and, hike her, we can tor- get he was a stranger whom she had no sucial right whatevor to admit to her confl- dence.It ls one of youth's divine p .tives to forget the conventionalities somes times\u2014aud to be natural.Katherine Iredale sat quite alone in , small sitting-roon: apoointed to her special 2° Use, and exquisitelv adorned for the rece tion of his bride by the lavish exponditure : of bim who was called to his account beforg - reaping the harvest ho had sown in Katherine Gordon's lite.It is an hour past noon, and the time fixed by Mr.Kenrick to make an official record 4 the dead man's will, and Katherine Hstaine restively for the arrival of the lawyer and notary, for there was u purpose in her mind that kept her unquiet.\u201cThe moment that Mr.Kenrick hag finished his business in the library, Manton, .show him into my

teras frequently astheir duties and the care of a young family would allow, so that, with the excepLion of the old housekeeper, Mrs.Howe, aud the retinue of servants, the young mistress of Ashbourne was alone in \u2014- er magnificent new home, The g oom and terror of that awful bridal seem still to fill the lofty chambers, foe everyone spoke with bushed acven stepped slowly and cautiously, as if af; of disturbing tbe ghost of the dark-visaged master whose fierce, imperious rule over his household had so lately been sna from his grasp and trans ferred to the delle cate and gentle hands of the stilifaced chates laine, who was already much more than hatf adored by the Ashbourne servants as somes - thing more than mortal, since she neves: spoke to the least among them save with the soft, and kindly tone that made the music of her voice.- At lnst Lhe roll of wheels upon the dri announced the arrival of Mr.Kenriek and tho notary, attended by Mr.Gordon.\u201cKatherine heard their steps pass up the resounding hall, and then from muffied on the thick velvot pile of the library carpet.\u2014 \u201c Mr, Kenrick's compliments, ma'am ; and he begs you will send the key to the rose woud

quiet again for the space of an hour.3, Katherine sat almost breathless with the \u2018- weight of throoging thoughts and the pressure of suspense.She was unaware of father's presence inthe house, until rapid.uncertain footsteps © the : allid and trembliug, Mr.Gordon fa ng her at the threshold.With low, busiey, - articulation he said\u2014 NES ** Katherine, your husband's will cannot be found!

I know not what think.\u201d bu \u201cThen it is little wonder if the world cote ns me for a coward and a thief, if .own father does not know his daughter be incapable of conceiving, far less coacing such a baseness!

been shown by a party of lads from this city, who have suddenly left their homes In the Tond hope of makin day evening a party of four lads, of ages ranging from 14 to 16 vears, and .ail of very respectable families, left by tho New York train intent on finding a placo where they could make à living in a manner more compatible with their idcas of pleasure than possible in Montreal.Two of the adventurers only are known at the time of writing, namely, James Tester and a son of Sergeant Holdbrook, of the Water Police force.A brother of the latter chanced to be at the station at the time of the departure of the train, seoing off a friend, and was surprised to receive the farowell salute of his brother and three comrades, who wero on the platform at the back the train, waving their handkerchiefs and otherwise expressing their joy.at feeling fully launch into the world on their own account.From the friends of the young runaways it appears that they were imbued with a grand scheme for becoming almost suddenly rich, and that in anything Lut an unpleasant mannor.They had frequently expressed the most sincere disgust at the slow state of business in Montreal, and the plodding up- bill ight presented to their progressive and enterprising minds if they remained here, and never censed to enthusiastically point out the advantages as a fleld of enterprise presented by the United States.Tho enthusiasm thus raised among their friends reached such a pitch that a large party of youngsters was organized to follow to the El Dorado as (soon ns the pioneers could communicate with them after having struck it.The adventur- arsldo not appear to have acted without forethought, ashefore leaving they wero careful to get their mothers to put their clothes in a good state of repair.Fromthe time of their departure nothing has.been heard of the boys, and their parents are in great an- xietv.The fathers attributo this remarkable freak to the reading of trashy literature and the constant attendance at cheap shows, these lads spending their spare cash in ob:nining the trashiest and most sensational kinds of books, dime povels, etc.from the States.NO MONUPOLY.Great Northern Railway\u2014The New Proposed Quebec Direct Line.Mr.Globensky, secretary, and Mr.Shirley, chiet engineer, of the Great Northern Railway Company, have just completed an engi- peering examination of the country proposed to bo traversed by that line.The Company is now getting a Federal Charter for this line, which is to start at or near Chat- bam, on the Ottawa River, crossing the Canadian Pacific al Lachute, thence following a straight line to + Jerome, through New Glasgow.St.Gabriel de Brandon and Ste.Flore to tho St.Maurice River, which it will cross at the Shawinegnan Falls.The line will run thenco through the parishes of St.Tito and St.Ubalde to St.Raymond, on the Lake St.John railway.The road is to run at a distance of from twenty to thirty miles north of the North Shore railway.The length of the road will be about 138 miles and it is expected that it can be built at a cost of about $20,000 per mile.The distance from Montreal to Quebec by this line will be 12 miles longer than by the North Shore, and from Quebec to Ottawa it will be 44 miles shorter.Ii is projected to construct a line from the Western terminal line of this railway to join the Ontario & Quebec Railway at Perth, thus giving the city of Quebec almost an air line to Toronto and thence to Chicagn.The people of Que are confident that this scheme will procure them the terminus of the Canadian Pacific Railway and are also discussing another scheme with the same object in view.This is the building of an entirély vew direct line from Callendar station, on Lake Nipissing, to St.Raymond.1t is claimed that only 290 miles of pew road would be required for this purpose and that the distance from Lake Nipissing to St John, N.B., would then only be a trifle greater than the shortest possible line to ortland.LE CLUB NATIONAL.Dissatistaction Among the Members.The Club National, which has been for some years past the representative corps of the younger generation of Liberals in this city, is at the present moment threatened with a split in its ranks, if not with entire destruction, and the harmony which seemed to bave been sealed for ever at the last convocation of Liberals of all shades, including Messrs.Lafiamme, Mercier, Thibaudeau, Geoffrion, Marchand and other prominent partisans, held some time ago in the rooms of La Patrie, is a thing of the past.A large number of the members of the Club National, including the leading men, freely express their entire dissatisfaction al the present state of things in the Libera! camp, and say that they cannot put up with the manner of acting of sonie of the leaders of the old school, who seem to do all they can to embarrass the present recognized chiefs of the party.One of these gentlemen being interviewed this morning sald: ** We are so disgusted with the conduct of Mr.Latlamme, Mr.Geoffrion and other members of the old time clique.who disregard old time principles of discipline, that sume thirty of us have decided to abandon the party altogether.\u201d Five or six more were interviewed, who expressed somewhat the same opinion, and further trouble may be anticipated at an carly date.THE QUESTION OF WAGES.The Reduction Not Yet Carried Out\u2014Threat- ening to Strike, The proposed reduction of wages on the Grand Trunk Railway is at present engrossing the sole attention of the employes, who are daily expecting some definite decision from the company.It is learned, however, that sbould Mr.Hickson even try to enforce a tive per cent.reduction such a storm of opposition would be raised that he would ba compelled to desist.Dele- gftes who attended the conference declare that the General Manager is bent on carrying out his intentions.Alreadv the brakemen, conductors and other employés are pre- avod, and state that they are in a position 0 go out on strike.They say they can be idle now better than the company, which would soon he compelled to give in.Many ascribe the reduction in receipts Lo the reduction in rates, although the same amount of traffic remains.A largely attended meeting of brakemen and conductors was held in Toronto Sunday when it was unanimously resolved not to submit to any reduction in wages.The men declare that they were never better organized and have every employé to back them.A CHANGE OF POLICY.The Questio Through Passenger Traffic.It is stated That there is soon to be a change of policy on tho part of the Grand Trunk relative to through passenger traffic from Western Canada to the United States.Under tbe presont arrangements the road is neither a distinctively Bufinlo route nor Ningara Falls route, the latter distinction being claimed by and generally accorded to the Michigan Central since the opening of the cantilover bridge across the Niagara River.By reason of these ctreumstances it is said that the Grand Trunk pro 8 to run all Its through trains solid out of Buffalo over the International bridge instead of by way ot the Suspension bridge, employing that line for local traffic alone.y this movement the Grand Trunk will be placed on a par with the Lake Shore and make it a Buffalo route West.The Division Superintendent's office in Buffalo has been removed to Detroit and all passenger conductors rub: ning are required to remove to Detroit be.foré the first of May.An Explanation.To the Editor of TBE STAR: SR,\u2014 In your issue of the 18th inst., reference
