“NOTES AND COMMENTS.

—It is unfortunate for our English farmers, says the Pall Mall Gazette, that they cannot expect to get for this year’s hay much more, if any, than £4 per ton, on account of the hold that the imported article has been able to get on the markets during the past year, and the likelihood of this trale being extended with the reduc- tion in freights.

—The Maine commissioner of labor says thatthe returns of cotton mills in he state on the first of July indicate a reiuction of 3@ percent. of the amount paid out in wages. At the above date eight of the forty-two woollen mills in the state were idle, throwing 1,391 out of employment Uther mills were running short crew-, so that the working force is reduced 38 per cent., and the earning capacity 43 per cent

—~The increase of Canada’s cheese trade goes merrily on. The Monetary Times Jearns from its Montreal correspondent that the quantity shipped to Britain from that port last week reached 107,468 boxes, which compares well with the 35,113 bexes of the corresponding week last year. Nor is this an isolated week, for the total exports of cheese from Mon- trea! up to 7th Suly thie year were 457,000 boxes, which exceeds those of last vear to same date by 150,000 boxes.

~The St. John Sun points out that the European correspondents of American papers find a sharp cantrast between the Eaglish and French treatment of anarchy The severe measure introduced in France limiting the liberty of speech, the freedom of the press and generally meeting anarchy half way, is compared with the apparent apathy with which the subject is consid- ered in England. Whatelse conld any- one expect ? The President of France has been assassinated, and no correspond- crime has beer committed in Great Brit- ain for many years. Nations have short memories

—The trade of Canada with Great Bri- tain cuithdies to grow. The importations of the Mother Country from Canada, dur- ing the six months ended with June, were £694,655 greater than in the first half year of 1893, which is an increase of al- most forty per cent. The principal arti- cles which conduced to this increase were bacon, £51,000; sheep, £18,000; cheese, £135,000; ham, £5,000; eggs, £1,500; fixh, £273,000; wood, £260,000. On the other hand, the exports from Great Britain to Canada during the half year were smaller by 23 per cent. than during the corres- ponding period of 1893.

The North German Lloyd Steamship Co. announced that they would make a ateerage rate of $18 to all continental ports. This is a reduction of $8 on the company’s previous raies. Other lines in the continental pool will probably follow this lead.

King Humbert’s telegram of congratu- lation to Col. Baratieri, who commanded the Italian force in the battle with the Maludists, contained these words: “The capture of Kassala is a triumph of civiliz- ation, It gives peace to the people under our protection and assures the commerce of the Soudan.”

The house of James Vaugh, non-union workman at the Mahonining plant of the Cambria Company, Uniontown Pa: was almost torn to peices by adyuoamite bomb a jfew morn- ings ago. Vaugh and his wife were badly shaken up, but not seriously huri. Vaugh bad been threatened by strikers.

It is now certain 140 persons down with the Italian steamer Columbia, which collided with the Russian steamer Vaidimir in the Black Sea a few days ago. All evidence badly inculpates the Russian seainen, who deliberately abandoned the Columbia and her crew and passengers to their fate, although the vesse! floated an hour and 4 quarter after the collision.

General Manager Workman Sovereign, of the Knights of Labor, who was at the executive \neeting at Omaha, saysall the packing houses in Chicago will quit work, unless the rates of wages paid < August 1, 1893, are restored. te assert the executive committee of the Knights will go Debs one better in his request to boycott Pullman cars. The Knights wil! ask a boycott on all who patronize Pull- mao. The General-Secretary, Hayes, says the committee is in favor of asking a boyeutt of every Chicago newspaper ad ver- tiser who patronizes Pullman.

Lowvox, July 23. -—~ In the British Howse of Commons Mr. Chamber- lain resumed the debate on the evicted tenants’ bill. He denied that there was any necessity for exceptional legislation. There was not a district in Great Britiain in which the annual number of evictions did not far exceed in proportion the evic tions which the House is called upon to deal with in Ireland. The bill originated in the Irish system of clamor, and was forced from the Government, not by social, but by political and parliamentary exigencies. (Cheers.) It might re-estal-

government is sadly in need of reform. The City Council is un- der the thumb of the Eleetric Street Rail- way, both shareholders and employes of the road sitting asaldermen. One of their latest acts hasbeen to purchase a few acres ef rock and cedex seruh for $30,000. for a Park for the But the Electric railway has built a line to this park, and opened a ginger beer and candy stand, planied a few seats among the bushes, built & merry-go-round with # hurdy-gurdy turned by an electric nigger, and it has be- eome the fashion to goto Rockliffe every day and evening. The railway carries thou- sands there every fine day, and the Park became @ necessity to the railway. So the Railway shareholders and employes at the Council Board argreed to buy the Park and pay $30,000 of the citizens taxes for it. Two years ago, before Rockliffe was dis- covered the Electric Park, some 3 miles in another direction, was.all the rage. Thousands used to go every evening and listen to 10 cent concerts. But it was too close the city, and people could walk there and back and not patronize the cara. But at Rockliffe, you marst go by the cars, or notat all. So the» Electrie Park was desected. and it has coat the @itizens $30,- 000, to tind a néw park for “the Street Railway.

There are many improvements wanted in Ottawa. On many of the streets the sidewalks are perfect traps, and “Ladner’s patent” is freely used. No attention is paid to cleanliness. The smells are intol- erable, and the filth and garbage on the streets shocking. Dead trees abound; you may meet with whole rows of them. They never think of removing a dead tree. On one block, next the City Hall property, only about 200 feet deep, there are ning dead trees. On one corner stands Knox Presbyterian Church, oa the other the Congregational Church, and the dead trees eeparate them.

Besides the boodlers at the Council Board, Ottawa is well supplied with sneak thieves and foot pads. Every day the papers contain accounts of houses entered throngh cellars or open windows, end pro- visions, &c., stolen. The postmaster at Ottawa, Mr. Gouin, formerly proprietor of the Russell House, was garrotted and rob- bed on one of the “fashionable” avenues — Cooper Street — at ten o'clock on Sunday evening in full view of people sitting on their verandahs. He was re- leived of a gold watch and chain worth about $200. He was stunned and badly injured.. This is the most barefaced as- sault that has yet been made. Where are the police? may be asked. Well, the chief of police has not lived with his wife for years. For some time she has been very ill. One day last week she was dying, and he quietly went on his holidays so as tobe out of the way at her death. The local papers anncunced that Mrs. , wife of the chief of police, was very low, and the next paragraph stated that Chief had gone on his holi- days to Old Orchard Beach. He went, and while he was disporting himself at the seaside, his poor wife, whom he had deserted, and who was dependent upon her sons for a living, was buried. More might be written, but I have said enough te show the style of man who is the guar- dian of the peace and good morals of the capita! of Canada. Stipendiary Magis- trate O’Gara is, I believe, an upright official. As for the Mayor, poor man, the lees said about him the better. It is only within the last few weeks he has awakened from a state of muddle which overtook him soon after his election in January.

Since writing the above I learn that the highwayman business is carried on toa greater extent than I thought. The Ex- perimental Farm is a couple of miles out of the city, and the officials returning there after nightfall find it necessary now to carry firearms, so frequently have they been attacked by lawless parties. A lady was also attacked on one of the streets in the afternoon and robbed of her watch and chain. Mr. Gouin is confined to his bed to-day suffering from the injuries he received

Tuesday was a field day in the Commons The House started out early in the afternoon to

liscuss General He rbert’s suspension of the Deputy Adjutant General, and soon the General’s whole administration came under review. By some he was condemned —by others upheld

The Minister of Militia declined to dis- cuss the suspension of Col. Powell, inas- moch as that officer’s reply to General Herbert’s charges had not yet been re- ceived. He proceeded to explain that the dismissal of Col. Lazier, of Belleville, was owing tothecomplete disorganization of the force under his command, and his continued neglect of duty and insubordin- The Minister had to say to the Militia officers of Canada, that if they wanted a Militia foree to be efficient, they must subject themselves to discipline, and recognize that the mere fact of @ man having been 20 years in the service did not justify him in insubordination.

Immediately after the Militia _explana- tions, Mr. Charlton rose, at 10 minutes to 6, to announce that in amendment to ge into supply, he proposed to offer a resolu- tion upon the financial position of Canada. Now this was @ pure piece of obstruction, and as a Liberal Senator ro- marked,to me afterwards,“Char!ton should be kicked for bringing up that motion.” After some time spent in decrying Canada

said that Mr. C .arkon had only exposed the poverty of the public service In Mac- kenzie’s time and its richness at present. ; For example, in the Agricultural Depart- | ment the paltry sums they spent in 1873

sufficed merely for the pay of a few offic- | ers. To-day the experimental farms and stations were instructing farmers through- out the country how to improve their methods, and they were going extentively into dairying and other branches. Mr. Charlton had referred to the expenditure on quarantine, but was so impartial in his - statement that he compared a year under

a — eee

Mackenzie, when there was no cholera acare, With a year when such a scare brought largely increased outlay upon us.

| Our sinking fund from 1873 to 1878 aver-

aged $600,000 a year, while today it has risen to $2,000,000. Taxation, Mr. Char!- ton said, had gone down in Mackenzie’s time, and why? Because trade had al- most disappeared and the customs revenue fell off nearly half, owing to the impover- ished condition of the people. —— five years of Liberal finance our debt had run up $60,000,000, but during the last five years the debt had increased to only $7,- 000,000. If Mr. Charlton’s picture had been correct the credit to the country would have shown it, yet three per cents which were sold at 92 and a fraction some years ago, and considered an excellent loan, had sold within the last five months for 97 1-2. Mr. Mackenzie during his term of office did a little public works with the one hand and held a flaming sword with the other to keep off his greedy followers, but even with Mr. McKenzie the debt had gone up $40,000,000. Mr. Mackenzie was gone, and if the Liberal party ever got into power with the more pliable Mr. Laurier at their head, they would hardly be satisfied with a debt of $40,000,000. It would run up a great way further. The proof of this matter was in the contemporary history of the Liberal party. It could be read in every province where they had Liberal governments dur- ing the last five years.

After Sir Richard Cartwright had got off a few sneers about the Government be- ing a Maritime Province one, Mr. Charl- ton’s motion was lost, 87 to 42.

Then Mr. Girouard, of Jacques Cartier, asked Sir John Thompson if he was in a position to make any further statement re- garding Mr. Tarte’s chaages against the Quebec judges.

Sir John Thompson replied by remind- ing the House that he had said he had regarded the first of Mr. Tarte’s charges as vague and altogether of a character that ought not to form the ground of an enquiry. That view had been borne out by subse- quent investigation into the speech of Mr. Tarte and into authorities. But he bad addressed a letter to Mr. Tarte,in which he asked him to furnish particulars such as would serve to institute an enquiry. However, as to the second charges, those of over-charging for travelling allowances, the department was making the investiga- tion. The Premier went on to say that as to Mr. Beauchetain, whom Mr. Tarte had cited as an authority for his charges against Judge Tellier, he had received a letter from that gentleman, in which he denounced the use of his name without authorization. He further paid a high tribute to the accused judge, and comclud- ed hia letter by remarking that Mr. Tarte was evidently availing himself of the un- successful litigant’s Jicense to curse the judge. Sir John also read a letter from Judge Quimet indignantly denying the charges and demanding an investigation, and a letter of similar purport from Judge Tellier. There was alsoa letter from Judge Jette exonerating Judge Davidson and severely commenting upon Mr. Tarte’s action.

The Premier concluded by reading a letter signed by the Bishop of St. Hya- cinthe and prominent business men, testifying to the good conduct of Judge Tellier.

Mr. Tarte was excited to fury when he arose. He read in French a letter which he had written Sir John Thompson, de- clining to give any further particulars of the charges than he had already given, and which he considered sufficient.

Mr. Davin and Mr. McCarthy de- nounced the course pursued by Mr. Tarte, and expressed the hope that means would be found to prevent a repetition of so disgraceful a scene as had been wit nessed. Mr. McCarthy remarked that he entirely approved Sir John Thompsoun’s action. After Mr. Laurier had ineffect ually endeavoured to excuse Mr. Tarte,the discussion drepped and the House went into Committee of Supply.

On Wednesday, Mr. Edgar started the obstruction with a motion touching the “Sweating system,” a3 practised in Toronto, and which he attributed to the action of the Nationa! Policy. The House, however, seemed to think that the weather just then waa more responsible for “Sweating,” and they apparently ob- jected to discussing the question, so after Mr. Coatsworth, of Toronto, had replied to Mr. Edgar, the matter dropped.

On Wednesday, on motion to go into committee of supply, Sir Richard brought upithe matter of the Curran Bridge, and made a motion condemnatory of the Rail- way and Canals Department. Mr. Hag- gart replied, and Cartwright’s motion was defeated by 73 to 36, Col. O’Brien and Mr. Girouard, of Two Mountains, voting with the minority. I have not time to follow the enquiry into this Curran Bridge matter, but there seems to be no doubt that between the rascality of the men em- ployed on the work and the laxity of supervision, the country has paid some

$250,000 for which no value has been re- ceived. It is another evidence of the scan- dalous way in which public works are constructed in Quebec. It would seem that the contractors of that Provinee are wholly devoid of conscience-—at least, they think the Government fair game to be plucked on any and every occasion. There are some who consider that great blame in this Curran Bridge case is attributable to Mr. Schreiber. They say that, in his greed for economy, and as a justification for drawing $6,000 a year, he is attempting to “ bite off more than he can chew.” Five years ago Mr. Trudean was Deputy Minis- ter of Railways and Canals, Mr. John Page was Engineer of Canals, and Mr. Schrieber Engineer of Railways, Mr. Page died suddenly, and Mr. Schrieber undertook his work. Then Mr. Trudeau was superannuated, and Mr. Schrieber took his work, thus attempting to accom- plish now what, five years ago, it took three energetic men to do. The conse- quence has been that Mr. Scbrieber is not able to overtake his work, and some- thing had to suffer, and that something was the Curran Bridge. It is said that Sir Hibbert Tupper went for Mr. Schrieber very lively, and told him that he was responsible for the joss and swindling connected with the Curran Bridge. It is well known that there is no love lost be- tween Sir Hibbert Tupper and Mr. Schrie- ber. Mr. Haggart has promised that there will be afull and careful investiga- tion of this scandalous transaction, and in the interest of honest government and of the Conservative Party it is hoped Mr. Hagyart will bring the rascals to justice, The fact ie simply that the Conservative Party cannot stand any more scandals, and Sir Joba Thompson owes it to his fullow- ers throughout the Dominion to see that there are no more such barefaced robber- ies as the Quebec Harbor Works and the Curran Bridge.

The bill interpreting the government agreement with the C. P. R. relative to the allowance of adrawback of the duties charged on all articles used in the original construction of the C. P. R., so as to in- clude the first steel or iron bridges con- structed on any portion of the line, re- ceived its third reading on Thuraday. It met with considerable opposition on the groand that the C. P.R. had already ac-

cepted all the subsidies and land grants which were due iton the completion of the work. ‘That being an evidence that all original construction had been completed it was not right to extend the privilege asked for every wooden bridge or trestle the railway company naw wished to replace with an iron or steel structure.

In reply it was said the C. P. R. need not in the first place have erected wooden bridges, but might have taken more time and made iron ones; but it had put in the wooden works for the convenience of the country, chiefly to affurd transportation for troops and supplies to suppress the North- west rebellion. The wooden works were merely temporary and should not be termed original construction. ™

Mr. Mulock moved the three months’ hoist, in which he. was supported by Col. O’Brien, Messrs. MeCarthy, Charlton and McMillan. Strange to say, however, Hon. David Mills opposed Mr. Mulock and sup- ported the government measure, which he claimed to be a just one, and founded on an agreement made with the C. P.R. Mr. Laurier and Sir Richard Cartwright agreed with Mr. Mills, and Mr. Mulock’s motion was lost by a vote of 100 togl5; some 20 Liberal members voting with the Govern-

ment. It must be remembered that this was a government measure, and the

majority of 85 was the highest figure polled by the goverament during the session.

On motion to go into Supply, Mr. Laur- ier assumed the role of obstructionist, moving an amendment condemning the Government for transactions with Messrs, @onnolly, regarding the construction of the Kingston Graving Dock, in 1892. The motion was negatived by 61 to 24.

Daring the discussion, Mr. Mulock, who delights in being personal in his re- marks, and is frequently very insolent, re- ferred to Sir John Thompson in very of- fensive terms. He dgdunced the release of Messrs. Connolly anil. McGreevy a3 a “prostitution of ju-tiee” Sir. John was very warm when he rose to reply. He spoke in a loud voice and could be heard all over the Honse, He said:

“T am sure, Mr. Speaker, you will allow me the indulgence of a few words in an- swer to the irrelevant and abusive attack that the hon. gentleman made against me with reference to the criminal charges. I have only to say that while he has made it the subject of insinuations from time to time, he has not been man enough to challenge me directly upon it, but he has been that description of man that can miike dirty insinuations.of this kind at the close of a debate with reference to another question. If he searched the re- cords of that department under Sir John Macdonald or his predecessors, he would find that in no case has the application for clemency been refused after the rep- rezsentations that were made and put on the table of this House in the case of McGreevy and Connolly.

On Friday Mr. Laurier was again the obstructionist. He proposed a long reso- lution regarding the payment of railway subsidies, which wa3 negatived by a vote of 50 to 20.

Another motion of Sir Richard Cart- wright regarding. the grant to the Cara- quet Railway, was declared to be “lost on division.”

Mr. Haggart conmenced an enquiry last week, before the Public Accounts Committee, into the action of the Auditor- General in connection with the payment of provincial subsidies and the Indian Fund. The Auditor-General was accused of grave irregularities whch had resulted, he claimed, in a los? of $400,000 to the Dominion. The enquiry will not be concluded this session, and, evidently, if there were any bottom tothe charge, it would have been preferred at an earlier date, and not at a period when it is found convenient to drop it when it gets “too hot.” Mr. McDougall is generally allow- ed to ve an officer of the highest integrity, and if in the execution of his duties he may appear over-trict, he usnally has good rea- son for it and has the law to Lack hit up. He certainly is not likely to err on the score of laxity.

The Civil Service kicked up a great row last week because they did not receive their salaries for July on the 15th of the month, as usual. The Auditor-General was blamed, but he was perfectly within his right in not permitting the payments. The new financial year commenced on Ist July. and the Government neglected to provide any money for salaries or any- thing else. If, as had been done in former years, they had passed a supply bill before the close of the last year, there would have been no delay. But as this was not done, payments were stopped in every branch of expenditure on account of the present year’s service, and not until some day this week, when prorogation ehall have taken place, and a lot of indispen- sible red tape gone through with, will the Civil Servants be paid. Even then th have nothing to complain of. Their sal- aries are not due till 3lst July, and it is only as a matter of grace that they are paid on the fifteenth of each month, a fortnight before they are carned. Generally speaking, the civil servants are in a chronic state of indebtedness, and when no pay was forthcoming last week the inconvenience was seriously felt, particu- larly by grocers, butchers, bakers, &e. I heard that one merchant had to provide at the banks for $18,000 of the paper of the civil servants—his customers—who were unable to pay their notes.

Poor Tom Gorman died last Tuesday evening. His sufferings towards the end were very severe, but he bore them brave- ly, and strengthened with the rites of the Church,and surrounded by loving wife and children, conscious to the end, he breathed his last full of hope and without a fear. As I said last week, he worked himself to death. He seemed tocare for nothing else. He was a man with whom it was hard to he intimate—he was not sociable. All he seemed to care about was work. He died on Tuesday, and up to the previous Thurs- day he was writing in bed for his paper. While I cannot help thinking that he was too extreme in his political writings, yetfrom every other point of view, he was @ most exemplary man—in- dustrious, faithful, temperate, a good hus- band and father, and a practical Catholic. It is well known that un the Island he was a strong Conservative, while since he came to this part of Canada, he seems to have followed the Conservative party with a vindictive hatred,, There is said to be a reason for this. The story is that he was led to expecta position from the Government, and coming up here, was offered something worth about $400 a year. This he indignantly refused, and thenceforward he became the mercilesss foe of the Conservative party, This is not difficult to believe, The Island itself has been treated in pretty much the same way, and Islanders appear to be de- serving Only of the crusts which are spurned by the other provinces. Indeed, rather than appoint an Islander to a re- sponsible position, @ Grit is preferred.

Work is plentiful in and around Ottawa, and labor scarce. Last week two hundred men were brought from Montreal to work on a railway at $1,25 a day.
