that a vast majority of Americans would like to see England humiliated.

- In a recent speech, while showing that Canada has afways manifested its willing- ness for closer “trade relations with our neighbors, from whom had come nothing but rebuffs, Sir John Macdonald called at- tention to the tact that he and the people still held to the view that he enunciated in 1878. He then prononnced as he does now, and the country with him, in favor of reci- procity, ** so far as the interests of the coun- That is the distinction be- tween the policy of the Conservative party with the patriotic section of the Liberals on the one hand, and the Grit leaders and their adherents on the other hand. This Grit {policy is reciprocity, ‘° far as the interests of the United States and the ex- igencies of Girit vtlies seeking may require." One is the Canadian policy; the ucher is the policy of men who make the interests of their country subservient to those of a for- eign land, at least so far as may serve their own objects.

Dr. Schurman was lately interviewed at Ithica by the Times and is reported to have said that it is an open secret that Sir Charles Tupper was the head aud front of the jate British Commission of fisheries. It was he, and not Joseph Chamberlain, who asserted Canadian rights and secured al) the concessions for Canada that were got in the fisheries treaty. His services were re- warded by a baronetcy. I think this in- dicates that he is not likely to return to Canadian politics. Sir Charles isa man of great ability, and is so recognized by Lord Salisbury and the British Government. He has made them feel the value of Canada as a part of the Euspire to such an extent that the colonial policy has been revolutionized in the last few years. Formerly the British Government has been willing to let the colonies go, but now that the Canadian Pacific Railroad gives them direct com- munication around the world, connecting all parts of the Empire on their own terri- tory, Canada is as valuable to the Empire as ireland or Scotland.

A Private and Confidentiai

CIRCULAR SENT TO THE GRIT BOSSES URGING THEM TO ORGANIZ£ AND CAPTURE NEW VORERS.

—_--e

A telegram to the Halifax Herald reports that the following private and confidential circular has been issued by the Grits to the party bosses throughout the Dominion in connection with this years’ revision of the voters list. It is strongly recommended to the careful attention of the friends of the Liberal Conservative party:—

‘“‘ Organize in every polling sub-division a committee of three to proceed mentally from some point thersir and taking each lot suc- cessively, ascertain who is qualified to vote thereiu, or what residents gre entitled to vote on income, and find out by the last Dominion voters list what reform voters can be added.

Place all such names on the list of additions and Mil in all the columns fully.

follow up in succession all the concession aud side lines, not omitting the non-resident uwners and tenants. In some cages tenants tay not be able to qualify as such in conse- queace of not having resided in the riding for w year ; perhaps they can qualify as income voters, or in some other way.

\fter all your names have been secured ar- range them alphabetically, surnames first. Call this committee together again within a week and see if there are any omissions and complete your work.

{f any are not qualified to enroll by reason ot their being under age or otherwise on the first of June, but if they will be able to qualify before the final revision, put their names at that time on aseparate list and keep it for the secon revision.

Proceed at once to fill in the declarations, have them signed by the intending voters sev- erally and made before a justice of the peace, commissiouer or notary public. Arrange these declarations in the order in which the names appear on the first list and attach the list thereto aud hand it in to the revising barrister, but keep a copy of the list of voters as a check on the revising oflicer’s clerk. .

Prepare at the same time and in like man- uer a list of the names of Tories to be struck off, and p wticalars, giving the reasons why they should be struck off. If the voter so to be struck off has qualified on income, and has ceased to be a resident or has lost a part of his income, place in the list of objections ‘ in- sutficient income’ or ‘has ceased to reside in the electoral district.’

in like manner note the case of every owner who has sold his property and of every ten- ant, occupant, farmer's or owner's son, who has lost his qualification.

it would be well to have some person who knows the facts verify the objectious and have these declarations attached to the list of voters to be objected to.

These lists should be all carefully revised and the declarations examined by some com-

decently clad and the soldie

He r@ards famine probable and says the common necessities of life are already held at a very high figure. The bread that 1s so'd to the poorer classes is almost untit for eating. The people are becoming more and more shiftless and the death rate is in- creasing at an alarmingly rapid rate. ; Captain Fraser produced a copy of La Patnea, Hippolyteorgan, published on Feb. 23rd at Gonaives, containing an account of the battle and massacre at Grand Saliemn. Legitime’s army began an atiack on the outposts early in February, and were re-

They rushed at the prisoners, shooting and stab- bing them right and left. Some were frightfully hacked and mutilated. Butchers robbed the dead. rifling their pockets, stripping them of such trinkets as they wore, then looted the town, breaking into houses, smashing mirrors and furniture, abusing women and firing the town, and

News from Oitawa.

OTraWa, March 10.

The Government of India has made a col- lection of agricultural products of that country and they are now en réute to Otta- wa, where they are to be distributed among the several experimental farms for testing purposes.

The High Commissioner, in his annual report to the Government, says frequent enquiries were made last year at the Lon- don office regarding the prospect of set- tlement in the Maritime Provinces. He says that the Dominion officers in Great Britain have steadfastiy discoun- tenanced pauper immigration to Canada. He expresses regret that Canada’s export of butter appears to be decreasing, and urges our farmers to go in more for horse raising and export to Great Britain. ' Satisfactory negvtiations are goimg on with Anderson & Co. for the fast Atlantic service. The Haldimand election has been pro- tested; and the writ was seryed on Colter yesterday.

Negotiations with Japan for a direct in- terchange of money orders are progressing favorably.

A bill will be introduced by the Minister of Justice, reducing the quorum of the Superior Court from five to four in cases where a supreme court judge may have heard the argument in the court below.

Excitement at a Dinner.

Lonpon, March 10.

Prince of Wales has returned to London. Mr. Conybeare, M. P., attended the annual Cornish dinner at the Holborn Restaurant on Saturday. At the toast pro- posed to the Prince and Princess of Wales as Duke and Duchess of Cornwali, all present, with the exception of Conybeare, rose and sang ‘‘God Bless the Prince of Wales.” Seeing Conybeare sitting, the diners became furious and shouted, ‘‘ Stand up, Conybeare,” “ He is disloyal,” ** Turn him out,” ete. Conybeare finally rose.

A Protest Made.

Sik,—The meanest, most treacherous and dastardly being under the canopy of heaven is the scandal-monger. At present they are enjoying a feast, while fanning the embers of a scandal, manufactured against a furmer resident of this city. I have made enquiries as to the truthfulness of the ra- mor, and find it a most malicious and un- mitigated falsehood. The same informa- tion could have been gained by these human vultures, but they do not wish to have their minds disabused—preferring to cir- culate the scandal, regardless of how many hearts it may cause to ache, or many eyes to weep. It isto be regretted that even among church members—who should be examples of the Golden Rule—we will find these slanderers. (Out upon such hypoc- risy. Let every reputable citizen shun these slimy, venomous scandal-mongers, and give them to understand that our com- munity must rid itself of the pestilence.

Yours, CHARITY.
