LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.

~-—~~—---

Letter from fion. D. Ferguson.

Srr,—Even if it were true that the late | Rev. Mr. Frame ever used the severe and | injurious language against any one attribut- | [e d to him by the Reverend John M. Me- | Leod in this day’s Petriot, it is certain that |

he hoped to be forgiven; and ‘it would be very unbecoming 'n any One, more especial- ly in a brother minister. to ,reproduce bitter words, spcker in Private, after the lips Which uttered them were sealed in death. But it is impossible that Mr, Frame ever used such lax guage regarding me. Qur friendship was not interrupted for a day or an hour of the fifteen years during which we were acquainted. It was not in his nature to be false or abusive; and it is necessary to assume that he was both before credit can be given to the extraor- dinary statements of the Reverend John M. McLeod.

After giving what he describes as the} Rey. ‘Mr. Frame’s estimate of me, but which smacks much more of the laboratory of his own mind than that of the late ac- complished editor of the Guardian, he says: ** Is it likely that one possessing such in- formation about the honorable gentleman would make a confidant of him, and volunteer, as he asserts, informa-. tion = on this subject?” There can be only one answer to the question. If the rev. gentleman had the information he speaks of, he certainly would not make a contidant of me. But the converse holds equally good. lUfhe made a confidant of me, he could not have been in possession of the information of which he speaks. I have just to add that a week ago to-day, the rev. gentleman volunteered a private letter to me commencing with the words

admission contained in his private letter to me of the same date, he would not have been under the necesSity of writing a second letter to the press, and he would have avoided a discussion in which he has not won many laureis. The reverend gentleman admits a conver- sation witha gentleman onthe street in which he conveyed the impression that Judge Alley wrote the Guardian article. I am authorized to say that in a conversation with another geutlemon, in a public offiee, he said, in plain terms that Judge Ailey was the writer. He denies that the street conversatiup refers to'the.oue he had with me near the front entrance to the Provincial Building jshortly “after “my return from Ottawa, in March, 1888. [ wonder how many conversations will yet come to light in which Mr. McLeod told what he knew, or what he thought he knew, about the authorship of the Guardian’s article! Judge Alley, no doubt, chuckles with delight over liis success in having public attention diverted from his lobbying and partizanship to a dispute between the Rev. Mr. McLeod and myself. Mr. McLeod persists in regarding the whole question of Judge Alley’s conduct, as resting on the authorship of the Guardian’s article. The truth is, I refered to other articles, as well as that one, in my statement in the Assem- bly; and whether Judge Alley wrote it or otherwise, does not affect the general ac- curacy of that statement.

(Montreal Gazette, 16th.)

The late cable advices from abroad con- tinue strong and excited, and note a_ fur- ther advance on sugar of 1s to 2s per ewt.,

while some private cables say it is difficult to quote the prices on account of the great excitement in the market. The market for refined here has continued

strong and excited, anda further advance 0

je has been scored on granulated, which is now quoted at 8jc. The market for yel- lows has also been very strong, and prices have advanced ic to #¢c to 68 to Te as to quality at the factory.

A London despatch of to-day says :— The sugar market here is extremely excited and prices have risen 2s.

Private advices from New York indicate a strong position in molasses, and state that ‘‘ there is not a gallon here in bond, and not 200 hogsheads in jobber’s hands, something that has not been seen before in an experience of 29 years in the trade.

A Narrow Escarr.—The Halifax Herald reports that an I. C. R. carpenter named Alexander Macdonald had a narrrow escape from beiag run over and killed by an inbound train a day or two ago. It appears that Mac- donald was at work near Moir’s mill, and having finished for the day, decided to catch a train that was moving rather slowly past the mills. He succeeded in catching hold of one of the steps of the car, but just as he was in the act of drawing himself up on the plat- form he lost his hold and fell, It was at first thought that he had been thrown under the cars. The conductor immediately stopped the train, but as luck happened the iron rail on the platform car, which Macdonald struck, prevented him from falling upon the rails, otherwise he would have been cut to pieces. As it was he was considerably bruised.

Parnewt’s Lise. Surr.—Mr. Parnell has engaged Sir Charles Russel, Asquith and Arthur Russel to conduct the libel suit brought by him against the London Times. The trial will take place in Lon- don in the autumn.
