NOTES FROM THE CAPITAL.

House of Commons.

DEBATE ON THE ADDRESS.

Tre Address of the Commons in answer- ing to the Governor- General's speech passed without a division on Friday evening. Its passage was moved by Mr. Richey, of Hali- fax, brother of the Rector of St. Eleanors, in an excellent address. Mr. Richey de- voted a good deal of attention to the im- proved financial showing of the Intercolon- ial Railway. He said the statistics of the Railway showed that for six months ending Dec., 1878, the working expenses cf seven hundred and fourteen (714) miles were nine hundred and forty-nine thousand and thirty-one dollars ($949,031), while the re- ceipts were seven hundred and thirty-one thousand four hundred and forty-two dollars ($731,442), the excess of expenditure over receipts being $217,589. During the six months ending December, 1879, the work- ing expenses for 840 milea were $753,469 and the receipte were seven hundred and twenty-one thousand two hundred and sev- enty-seven dollars ($721,277), showing an excess of expenditure over receipts of only thirty-two thousand one hundrei and ninety-two dollars (32,192). In other words Dr. Tupper saved the country in, that short space of time no less than $185,397. From a comparative statement, Mr. Richey showed that the receipts of the railway were for seven months of 1879-80 (from July through January) $339,277, against $312,308, for the corresponding months in the previous fiscal year, or an increase in the receipts of seven months of 326,969.06 ! The details show that the business of the road has been steadily increasing: as com- pared with the previous year. Thus in January, 1878-79, the receipts were 2330,- 866; in January of the succeeding year they were $118,000. In December of the first named year the receipts were $103,- 551, and in December of the present fiscal year they were $120,274. In November of the first named year the receipts were $120,413, and this year the corresponding month's receipts were $126,611. The num- ber of miles run by trains in the six months ending December, ‘78, were 1,341,000, against 1,419,194 miles in the six months ending December, ’79.

Mr. Honor, a young French Canadian member, seconded the address. And Mr, McKenzie criticized it. Our readers will be pleased to learn that Mr. McKenzie still leads the Opposition. Mr. McKanzie is a natural born Leader of an Opposition. The country is safe while he is iu that pos- ition ; and it is tv be hoped that he will have health to hold it for fifteen or twenty years at least. He opened the attack with the original remark that the speech was ‘‘a barren one;’ and made a display of his keenness by pointing out the impropriety of which Dr. Tapper is guilty in having supplied Mr. Richey with some pleasing information regarding the ‘‘ Intetcolonial.” He stated that the country is net now as prosporous as wlien he was in power, con- demnoed the emigration policy of the Gov- ernment, attacked the tariff, said Canada does not require an Agent io England, and found fault with the Government for hurry- ing on the Canada Pacific Railway, and for incurring heavier expense than had been asserted to be necessary when thej project of building was first entertained. In short he made just.snch a speech asa very good Leader of the Opposition ought t> mike.

Six Joun Mc Donan replied in a spright- ly speech. Iu his opinion the proposed reform of the Civil Service and the banking system,the railway matters to be considsred and the Tarif changes, afford ample food for the most voracious of Legislators, He said the former policy of his Government had been altered by Mackenzie's Govern- ment, when the latter determined upon building a road by the Government instead ef acompany ; that Mackenzie agreed under the Curnarvon terms to spend two millions a year in British Columbia and to build the whole road iu i8 years; and it ill became Mackenzie to lecture the present Govern ernment for spending too much money, since it was tach less than he (Macken. wie) hal undertaken to expend. The money spent on the Red River district railway Was necessary fo join the two ends ieft un- connected, ant the money spent in British Columbia was being spent in accordance with the terms of Mackenzie’s own adver- | tisemvnt calling for tenders. He said ines’ had been a substantial flow of immigra- tion to Manitoba from the United Statis

the agitation for the repeal of the insolvent laws. He showed the need for the appoint- ment of Sir A. T. Galt. The Imper- ial Government was in negotiation with France, Germany and Austria, and Can- ada’s interests could only receive lively at- tention from a Resident Minister. In answer to Mackenzie’s statements about Ontarie Local Elections, he said there had been eight or nine elections in the Dominion since that. The Government had lost none, and had gaived three new seats.

After recess, that inveterate joker, Bunster, of British Culambia, held forth on the ** Chinese Labor Question.” Both he and DesCosmos, who spoke aft erwards, justified the Government for their railway policy in British Columbia and hoped the Government would not fail to build a rail- way in Vancouver Island.

Mr. Brakes followed. He made one pretty good point against the Government. Referring to the Pacific Railway he read from Hansard statements of the Ministers made last session that Great Britain would, after the appointment of commissioners in trust of one hundred millions of acres of land, guarantee an additional loan ; they had said this arrangement must succeed on this basis ; the House authorized the Gov- arnment to contract for the construction of 125 milosia British Columbia; if the Eoglish guarantee ba not forthcoming, the condi- tion on which Parliament gave its consent was wanting and the contracts must be sub- mitted to Parliameat. Me. Blake objected to the appointment of a Rasident Canadian Minister in England. We believed that a resident agent at Washington would be better than one in London.

In reply to Mr. Anglin in referenca to the relief of Irelanl, Sir Leonard Tilley said the Governamant felt that whatever propo- would make it prosperous

the Government Canada is

sition should act speedily.

and could and should give out of its abund- mca. Mr. Mills objected to the idea of

Canada being prosperous, but he was wil- ling that something should be given.

Mr. Casey, Mr. Caron, Mr. Plumb, and others made a few remarks before the ad- dress passed,

PUBLIC ACCOUNTS,

With commendable promptitude the Pub- lie Accounts and Tables of Trade and Navi- zation were laid upon the table immediate-

ly aftey the passing of the Address. The Public Accounts show : RBCEIPTS.

Customa, $12,900, 659 “xcise, 5,390,763 Post Office, 1,172,418 Public Works, 1,863,049 Loans, 23, 189.908 investments, 1,000,983 frust Funds, 167,144 Miscellaneous (including Fishery

There were at the end of the fiscal year, 1379, 297 Post Office Savings Banks in the Dominion, and 43,043 Depositors, with $2,- 23,239 to their credit, being the largest amount in any year since Confederation. TRADE RETURNS. The Trade and Navigation returns show the total exports for fiscal year, 1879, to be 371,492,099. Total imports, $81,965,000 ; luty paid, $12,940,099. Only thres anda half months of the present tariff are includ- ed in the tables. AN IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT.

The Montreal Gazette makes the import- ant announcement that a Committee of the French Assembly has recommended to the Government the reduction of the import duty on Canadian built ships from forty francs to two fran:s per ton, the latter beinga merely nominal rate, and it is to bs hoped that the news that the Govern- ment has acted upon this sugyestion will aot be long delayed. Fer three years past sur Goveramant has been endeavoring to bring about a reduction of the French duty on our ships, and is prepared as a measure of reciprocity to lower the existing duty on French wines. There is an excellent mar- ket for our wooden vessels in France, where they would bo purchased for the coasting and fishing trade, and an impetus would be given to the industry of ship-building in the Dominion by the granting of the proposed Concession,

THE PACIFIC RAILWAY. General Hewson has issued a pymplet, in

66 Ginn LECTURES.

Proressorn Caven will lecture in St. Patrick’s Hall to-morrow evening on ‘* Cardinal Wiseman.”

Rev. Geo. W. Wopcson, M. A., will lecture in Market iiall to-morrow evening, Subject: ‘* Moses—the Great Hebrew Statesman, Legisiator and Poet.”

It is to be regretted that both these lec- tures are to be delivered on the same even- ing. The subject of Mr. Hodgson’s lecture is one of the most sublime characters in history ; and everyone would like to hear more of the great Cardinal of whom Pro- fessor Caven will speak. Both subjects will, we sloubt not, receive able treatment.

A Good Thing.

German Syrup is the special prescrip- tion of Dr, A. Boschee, acclebrated German Physicias, and is acknowledged to be one

cence

of the most fortunate discoveries in Medicine. It quickly cures Coughs, Colds

and all lung troubles of the severest nature, removiny, asit does, the cause of the affection and leaving the parts in a strong and healthy condition. It is not at experimental medicine, but has stood the test of yesrs, giving satisfaction in every case, which its rapidly increasing sale every season confirms. Two inillion »ettles sold annually. Beware of medicines of similar names, lately intro- duced. Boschee’s German Syrup was in- troducelin the United States in 1868, and is now sold in every town and village in the civiiized world. Three doses will re- lieve any ordinary cough. Price 75 cents, Sample bottle, 10 cents. ee 16+ oe

THE «uestion is frequently asked, ‘*‘ Why are min ster’s sons so much worse than the sons of »ther men?” Because, perhaps, being aware tiat their papas are deterred by their calling from becoming acquainted with the many forms of navghtiress extant, they wish to give the reverend gentlemen the best second- iaud experience that is in their power to bestow. If thisis not the right answer, our second answer i3, because they are not.

STOGK-TAKING.

7 KE hereby inform the pub- lic of this city, and the Island generally, that previous to Stock-taking, we have re- solved to clear out as much of our Winter Stock as possible. We are aware that at this season it is hard to get people to buy even at reduced prices; but in the face of this difficulty we have made up our mind to adopt full measures, and sell our Wool Goods and Dress Goods at a sacrifice.

Our Goods have been very cheap all winter, as the run of trade we have had fully testifies. Our store has become the resort of those Ladies who know how to make a penny go a long way, and who kuow a cheap article when they see it; and when we say we are going to reduce the prices of our Dress Goods and Trimmings, we know we shall be believed. We are particul- arly anxious to clear out our present Stock, in order to intro- duce as much of the newest style of Dress Material as possible, and at the very lowest prices. We shall make special prices on Black Cashmeres, Black Meri- nos, Black Cords and Lustres, Lustrines and Brilliantines.

Our Fancy Wool Goods will be sold at less than cost. Our Stock of this class was the larg- est, most select, and finest in the city, and the remains of it will be sold at a great sacrifice.

Blankets, Quilts, Horse Rugs, &e., will be cleared out at great Bargains.

We make no apology to the Tea-drinking public for drawing their attention to our fine flavored and rich Teas, 32, 36, and 40 cents per lb. They are receiving the highest praise, and those who use them, strongly recommend them to others. Our trade in this article is growing rapidly. Tea appeals to the most subtile of the senses, and as the proof of the pudding is in the eating, so the proof of the Tea is in the drinking. Friends, try it.
