several pictures of the nude from the Salon .and ha~ had draperies painted over the figures, the draperies not being what are known ax \u201cartistic\u201d conceptions.but modern costumes of the

CLASHING PRINCIPLES.¢\" Mr.Tarte as a private member of the House of Commons bids fair to be yuite as influential as he was as a Minister, and perhaps more userul, though that is saying not a little.Let us compare two uiteran- ces of his, one made as a Minister.the other made a day ur two ago as a private member.The Minister said\u2014and the country will not soon forget it\u2014tlrat \u201celections are not made with prayers.\u201d The private member =a)s that \u201cmembers are bwsy looking atter their little constituencies, and huve Litile time to deyote to important public questions.\u201d Supposing now.the members so criticized were 40 turn round and say : \u201cDear Mr.Tarte, don\u2019t you know that we want to be re-elected: and = it Dy .studying great public questions or by attending to our \u2018little constituencies\u2019 in matters of patronage and =o forth, that we have the bes.chance or that?Don\u2019t vou remember what you told us about elections aud pray- \u2018ers?.Doesn't the same rule apply to re- elevtious** Thexbest thing tor thé \u2018ex minter 0 do, i stmaped by such questions, would be to avow that his ministerial ve.mark, H, In a manner, true to fact, en bodied, and seemed uniortunately to sanction, & wrong principle.and that he now calls it off.Many elections have, in truth, been \u201cmade\u201d by very discreditable means: bat a man who wishes well to hus country, as we are persuaded Mr.Tarte does, will not approve of such means.When he speaks to-day about members hein \u201cbusy Jooking arter thor little constitnencies,\u201d he is thinking of stl the petty little ways ot the politicians, by which they nurse all that 1s poorest and worst in the spirit oi their respective constituencies, He that a better way lies open, and bis doe trine to-day 1s that the betier way should be tried.We trust that the energetic member for St, Mars's Division will trom this time forth steadily cast all his intiuences on the aige of the purihication and elevation of Canadian politics, as well, av in favour the industrial and commercial advansement of the country.0 \u2014\u2014\u2014eemieumns FUNERAL OF JUDGE McDOUGALL was secs It Will Take Place at Toronto on Saturday.Toronto.January 3 ~The tuneral of Judge Jos.FE.McDougall.who hed at St, Catharines on Thursday.will take place on Saturday afternoon.Judge McDougall is survived by a widow.tormerlv Miss Beatty.of Cobourg;
