But in this contest, though the seat had been held by au Opposition member, who was elected by a large majority, the Opposition had not temerity to brivg out a candidate, to match the Minister of Justice, but gave their support toa Conservative who opposed Mr. Thompson on personal grounds aod The result is, therefore, total demor-

another unmistakeable evidence of the fact that the Government of Sir John A. Macdonald is continually gaining strength ia the coautry apd a firmer hold upon the affections of the people. It is really wonderful that after being eight

years in office, the Goveroment is not

only gaining every bye-election held in Counties formerly represented by Grits, bat is actually winning seats from the

Opp»sition. The Government have ob-

tained a magnificent viecory in Antigo- nis h—a victory that is tae more pleasing to persoas of right jadgment, and that it shows that the people kaow how to ap-

The Contest in St. John.

Tae Montreal Herald of the 15th inst., referring to the St. John electiov, says:

“The Liberals have the advantage of some twelve years’ possession of the seat and they are said to be confident of carrying it again. The grounds of their confidence are {disputed by the Liberal Conservatives, who claimed to have worked a considerable change in the constituency since 1882. Without entering deeply into the in- fluences operating in the constituency, it may be said on general principles that a city like St. John (which is included in the county of St. John for voting purposes),for which so much has been done by the Government of the day,is toa certain extent, under obligation to strengthen the Government's hands. For example, the Government brought upon itself the displeasure of a good number of its..supporters by insisting upon building the Short Line Railway by a route in the interests of

ohn. Is there no obligation onthe constitu-

to strengthen the Government by sending it a ewes especially asits action may still be called in question at the next session of parlia- ment? We think the constituency is bound to coasider this, The city of St. John is largely inter. ested in urging on the Government the negotiation of a Reciprocity Treaty, especially in the terms of such a treaty. Will it not be better served by having a Government supporter at the Govern- ment elbow when the time comes for action, as it

may a few months hence, rather than a bitter opponent bent upon making politi- cal capital out of every movement made

by the Government in this connection, regardless of the consequences to his constituents’ material interests? Such considerations must weigh with business men, and St. John city is one of the most important of our Canadian commercial centres. Under ail the circumstances we incline to the opinion that the constituency should lay aside purely party considerations and send the Govern- ment a supporter, snot because} the constituency is intensely Liberal-Conservatiye, for it is not, but because there are important issues at stake and coming to settlement where its railway and trade interests will be better served by having at Ottawa a supporter of the Government, rather than an uncompromisirg enemy,”

Tue following is a eulogistic notice of Joseph Cook :—‘*We have seen of late years a remarkable phenomevon in the re- ligious world. In the most cultured city of our continent, on a week day, and at high noon, # man has stood forth to ad- dress its busy citizene upou the sublimest and most difficult themes, and has spoken with such attractive power as to fill its iargeat halls to overflowing; and these high discourses and great audiences have gone on together for seven years with ever- increasing interest, while hundreds of thousands of persous in different lands have eagerly pored over the reports of these

discourses as they came steaming in from the press. What does all this mean? It means, if I mistake not, that the man who stands

upon the platform of that Boston lecture- ship, which he himself has created, has taken up into his great heart and brain the problems of the age and the wrongs of the race, and is determined to do what he can to solve those problems and to right those wrongs. Like the noble old Roman, he has said: ‘‘ | am a man, and I deem noth- ing that pertains to humanity foreign to me.” And when he seemed to have well- nigh exhausted the current topics of dis- cussion among as, he went forth to sail around the globe in quest of new themes. — Prof. Fiske of ¢ thicago Theological Seminary. ———— eS) a.

Rexicious circles in Ontario are greatly excited over @ serious ecandal just brought to light. Alexander Armour died at Brampton, about two miles from Toronto, two or three weeks ago. He had been a resident of the town for thirty years, had occupied many positions of trust, including treasurer of the municipality, and was a class leader in the Methodist church. He was esteemed for his many virtues, and the whole town almost turned ont to his funeral. Now it comes to light that he was &@ swindler and a forger of the worst kind. Not only has he swindled the muni- cipality, by falsifying his books, out of a large amount, but many trusting psople gave him money to advance on mortgage, which he used for his own ends, handing his dupes forged promissory notes. It is known that $7,000 came into his hands in this way, and these poor people will lose every cent, as Armour left no estate. What he did with the money is a mystery.

TEH LA. ‘ ‘The 7 Blectric Light.

Tae City Council have with undne haste accepted the contract of the Royal Electric Light Company. Previous to so doing, they did not enquire whether or not the light gave satisfaction in other cities where it was introduced, nor at the recent meet- ing could the gentleman at the board give the slightest information on the subj -ct. The light has been used in Halifax for a short time. A competent engineer, writing on its success in that city, says : There are twenty-five lights in operation up to the present time. The light was tried in the Drili Shed and objected to as it did not

suit the purposes as well as or- dinary gas. As with most novel- ties, a great many people are

attracted by it and in several cases it is used more as an advertisement than any- thing else; buié for steadiness, agreeable- ness and reliability it is certainly far inferior to gas light. As to its effect upon the consumption of, gas in Halifax, for the past three months, | may state that the consumption has been on the increase, The City Council of Halifax have con- tracted to light only a portion of the city with the electric light. It seems they were determined to do so in a hurry, but had they given the Gas Company due notice of the intention, they would have tendered to supply the light. I think your City Coun- cil should have waited until they could see the result of the trial here before embark- ing in the matter.

A Boy Shot at Hermitage.

An inoffensive boy named John Fitz- patrick, son of William Fitzpatrick, oyster- man, North River Road, was last eveniag severely if not fatally shot by a young desperado from this city. The Fitzpatrick family live in a small house near the Hermitage Bridge. They are very destitute, and are real objects of charity. Last even- ing about 5 o’ciock, the boy while standing on the side of the road, saw a horse and cart epproaching. The team was driven by two boys, evidently from the city. On reaching the boy one of the lada in the cart said : ‘* I am going to shoot you,” and be- fore young Fitzpavrick could realize what he had said, he discharged several shots, two of which entered his body. The boy fell on the road unconscious, while the two young desperadoes drove off, careless of the serious crime they had committed and the wounds they had inflicted. The boy was carried to his father’s house, and Dr. Stephen R. Jenkins was sent for. He found that one of the bullets had entered the upper portion of the left breast and the other had entered above the right groin, The doctor probed the wounds but was. un- suce>ss#fi in discovering the location of the bullets. He administered stimulants, dressed the wounds, and did all in his power for the relief of the poor boy. but he still lies in a very precarious condition, and chances ef recovery are very slight’.

The young assassin bas not yet been dis- covered, but we learn that the City Marshai has a clue which will lead to his arrest.

An Assault at the Barracks

AN unseemly quarrel took place at the Gospel Army meeting last evening, between Mr. Chappell, in charge of the ladies’ gal- lery, and Mr. Tanton, who wished to get admission to the part of the Hall reserved for ladies only. A ery of fire was raised, a stampede occurred, and many lives were endangered. While Mr. Chappell seeks redress in the court, Mr. Tanton turns to the newspapers. He writes as follows :—

Sir,—For several years past I have been made the subject of slander, misrepresenta- tien and personal assault at the hands of one Johr Chappell. I have on more than one occasion been obliged to seek redress and successful infliction of penalties before certain society tribunals, and on one occe- sion | was only dissuaded from instituting a public prosecution by the earnest solicita- tion of a number of friends. Last night I was again made the object of another of those attacks while entering the meeting of the Gospel Army, and was only protected from more serjous personal injury by a deficiency in the physical endowments of my assailant. While I purpose pursuing a more decisive course in this matter, I will ask the public if language such as I now quote from the journals of the National Division, 8. of T., is suitable for a door- keeper in the house of the Lord, and a Bible class teacher in a Christian Church, viz.: ‘* Young Jackanapes!’ ‘* Damn Blackguard !” ‘* Bloody Scoundrel |”
