PROFESSOR ROBERTSON

AND THELIBERAL PAPERS. oe

Some of the Liberai papers have found great fault with Professor Robertson for having dared to suggest to the British p iblic the propriety aad the mutual advan- tage of giviug to the people ofthe British colonies and possessions a preference io their markets over countries which are commercially hostile. This is a case in which partisanship is carried beyond the limits of patriotism. Everyone sees that if Great Britain were to give the preference suggested by the Professor Robertson, Canada and the the other co!onies of the Empire would ere long be greatly stimulated and streng~ thened and would become a bulwark of defence to the Mother Country. But be- cause Sir Wilfrid Laurier bas publ’cly repudiated the idea of Canada desiring any euch preference, Professor Robertson 18 ket upon by Sir Wilfrid’s organs. Profes- sor Robertson ia to b» his intellectual indepe idence moral courage anitrue -atriotism. It is to be hoped or A . eet

MEETING AT CLIFTON.

The Conservative Policy Well Upheld —The Premier and John H. Bell Present ~The Premier Admits the Debt at the Banks, After Paying the Subsidy Drawn on the Ist July, to be Over $70,000.

A large audience greeted the several speakers at Clifton on Saturday evening. Dr. Robertson gave the same speech he g ves atevery mee ing. He was fol'owed by

une Premier, who made a big effort to defend his Government, but he had tco large an undertaking

in defending the Peters administration,and it was not hard to read between the lines that he wae rick of hisjob On being asked to state his policy for the future and give a statement of the public accounts to date, he said he would rather refer to the past and thus evaded the question, but he admitted that the debt at the banks was over $70,000 after the subsidy drawn op the Ist of July bad been paid

Mr Bell wae éailed upon and he, after a He, no doubt, saw the trend of the meeting. But on being asked to deliver his speech which he gave at Kensington some time ago avainst Mr. Peters, ne could not help re- plying. He had to admit that he had fallen back into the ranks, but the reason was thateverything he contended for bad been carried out. He said thatat a cau- cus in council, heid some*time ago, that on a resolution introduced by him,they had decided % do away with the idea of build-

ing a new poor house, but regarding the asylum and new £Prince of Wales College he could say nothbiovg.

Mr. Bell is evidently sick of his company,and is look» lng the straus to a higher realm which he thinks he will attaia to. Mr. Bell was followed by Dr. McNeill, who made a capital speech. He made a vigor- ous onslaught on the Government and e:~ pecially the Premier, who was unable to lefine his policy. He resented the attacks made agaiost Mr. Campbell show- ing that they were false. The Staaley Doctor receiyed a good hearing, and was loudly applauded. The Conserva- tives received a grand welcome in Clifton, once the strong fort of the liperals.

A SHOCKING SCANDAL.

Camp Tuomas, Chicamauga Park, Aug. 28.—The condition of the hospitals at Camp Tiomas is deplorable. General Breckinridge will insist upon a congres~ sional investigation and the inquiry may

result in one of th? greatest scandals in the history of the army. The head officials have shown themeelves grossly incompetent and _ ignora’t

of the management of the Chicamarga hospitals, aod scores of deaths have reeul(~ ed from such incompetency, sup »lies are wanting, men are cruelly and inhumanly treated and the hospitals reek in filth. The purses are few and inexperienced, and many are ignorant of their work.

ceive no attention. A curgeon comes around once in a great while to look at the eufferers. He may

then make a requisition for some cots, ice, etc., and perhaps in three or four days the supplies will come and perhaps ihey will not. In the meantime, some of the poor fellows succumb to the illness. If all the

Montreal Gazette: That the protective tariff of the conservative Government was disloyal to Great Brite n—a Liberal theory frequently advanced— is not borne out by the figures, The imports from Creat Britain were actually greater under Conservative tariff than under the ad- vertisedly Joyal Laurier manipulation of

the schedules. Someth ng in explanation of |

this state of affairs is plainly due to what would be a puzzled public if it had stock in the theories propo nded by the party presently in contro! of Canada’s adminis~ ration. Moreoyer, while Great Britain’s exports to Canada asi year were actunily less than in 1895-96, the last Conserative year, the United Siates exporte leaped up from fifty-eight millions to seventy-eight millions, of which over forty millions were free.

NEWS NOTES.

General Miles throws the responsib lity for the bad health and treatment of the United Sates troops in Cuba upon General Shafter and Secretary Alger.

The recent session of the Ontario legis- latwre, called for the purpose of legislating the conservative petitioners out of feats claimed by them in the courte, cost 30,060. This is nearly 40,000 a seat.

It is eaid that Chevalier Drolet,who was ove of Sir Wilfrid Laurier’s ambaseadors to Rome, and who afteewardz received gold dredging licenses without competition in the Northwest, on terms tht no one elee could get, bas sold his privileges to an English syndicate for $200,000.

Metallizing Wood,

A method of metallizing wood, one by which it becomes very solid and re- sistant and assumes the appearance of a true metallic mirror, is described in the Paris Monde with much detail. Briefly, the wood is first immersed for three or four days, as may be its degree of per- meability, in a caustic alksfine ly¢, and thence passed immediately into a bath of hydrosulphite of calcium, to which is added, after 24 or 86 hours, concen- trated solution of sulphur in caustic potash, The duration of this bath is about 48 hours, and its temperature is from 55 to 50 degrees. Finally the wood

is Immersed for 30 or 40 hourg in a hot solution of acetate of lead. The wood pienered in this manner and after hav- ing undergone a proper drying at a moderate temperature acquires under a burnisher of hard wood a polished sur- face and exhibits a very brilliant metal- lic luster—a luster still further increas- ed in its attractiveness if the surface of the wood be rubbed thoroughiy, in the first place, with a piece of lead, tin or zine and afterward be polished with a glass or porcelain burnisher.

A Misunderstood Jest.

Lord Lytton when viceroy of India was seated one day at dinner next toa lady whose name was Birch, and who, though very good looking, was not over-

intelligent. Said she to his excellency:

‘*Are you acquainted with any of the Birches?’’

**Oh, yes,’’ replied Lerd Lytton, ‘‘I knew several of them most intimately while at Eton—indeed more intimately than I cared to.’’

‘My lord,’’ replied the lady, ‘‘you forget the Birches are relatives of mine. ’”’

‘*And they cut me,’’ said the viceroy, ‘*but,’’ and he smiled his wonted smile, **T bave never felt more inclined to kiss the rod than I do now.”’

Sad to say, Mrs. Birch did not see the point and told her husband his ex- cellency had insulted her.—Exchange.
