tonian, of Pomeroy, W. T. He stands in the saloon with his back to the bar and tells how he could run a uewepuper; how he could ex- pese corruption in bigh places; and how he

could writ: goed, sound common’ sense, and none of your frivolous, try-to-be-fanny stuff. Then he criticises other people’s methods of ranning newsp.pe s, and just wishes some one would give liim the chance to show his jour- nalistic ability. The way to cure one of these chaps is to get him to agree to write a sensible article every day for one week. Before the week is out he is sure to be pumped “dry and will gape worse far an idea than a chicken does with the pip. A great many quiet, bright aud intelligent men imagine they can ‘‘ran newspapers.” It costs some of them quite small fortunes to find out that they ean not. Sven then they are not willing to admit that it is because they do not ‘‘catch on” to the true newspaper idea. They live and die with the notion that it is the fault of the pub- lic and not their own.

‘Debates and Proceedings,

Mr.

Davies’ inconsistency Exposed.

Orrawa, March 15, | Inthe Commons this evening, —

Mr. Davies resumed the adjourned de- bate on Cartwright’s resolution in a speech of two hours’ length. Mr. Davies is a vigorous and forcible speaker, but he has a habit of exaggeration which does not in- spire confidence in his statements unlessthey are supported by incontrovertible facts. In the main his argument was a repeti- tion of that made by Cartwright yesterday. He declared that Unrestricted Reciprocity did not imply a Customs Union or uniform tariffs of the two countries. Canada would retain her present tariff and the United States theirs, with Customs Houses along the border as at present. This was a dis- crimination againct Great Britain, but he was prepared for such discriminatiou if it

be in the interest of Camada and the less of revenue effected by this scheme would be met by

heroic measures of retrenchment. Unre- stricted Reciprocity, he declared, would make prosperity flow over the country like a sunbeam over the landscape. It was a new policy, but in perfect acord with the traditions of his party. He also argued that the National Policy was practically a discrimination against Great Britain, and declared that twenty yearsago Sir John Rose had accepted the principle of Unre- stricted Reciprocity with the United States.

Hon. Geo. E. Foster, who replied, spoke for half an hour, till the Speaker left the chair and resumed at 8. Replying to Mr. Davies, he then read the latter's speech at Charlottetown a few months ago, in which Mr. Davies declared that unrestricted reciprocity was impracticable, and the United States arrant fools if they would acceptit. The fact was the Opposition were merely playing with the question for political purposes. In closing a speech of nearly three hours, Hon. Mr. Foster moved the foliowing amendment :—

That Canada in the future as in the past, is desirous of cultivating and extending trade relations with the Un.ted States in se far as this may not conflict with the policy of foster- ing the varied industries of the Dominion, adopted in 1879, and which has since received in so marked a manner the sanction and ap- proval of the people.

For atime a telegraph wire along the Wabash railway refused to work aud was apparently ‘* grounded.” Line repairers ‘have just sucoeeded in locating the trouble.
