THE DAILY EXAMINER.
JANUARY 28, 1891. Burns's Anniversary. | Tux songs of Robert Burns will live for- for they are true to nature in all It is not surprising that the Lyceum |
evor ; ages, was overcrowded last evening by men and | women auxious to hear the songs of Burns
sung by our best singers. A _desire to aid
the poor may charitably be set down
motive of many who were present. Dat the main great attraction was undoubtedly the tuneful Scotch songs, full of pathos or of humor, and expressive of the strength and frailties cf humanity. We congratulate the Caledonian Club upon the pronounced success of their first Burns: and we express the
is «(the
\oniversary concert, hope of the community that Burns’ Anni- versary Concert may be continued year after year.
The Government and Reciprocity.
‘fne Grit organs are never weary of de- claring that the present Government are hostile to Reciprocity with the United States. Nothing can be more untrue. What the Government is opposed to, and what all patriotic, loyal Canadians are opposed to, is what is called ** Unrestricted Reciprocity,” that is, Erastus Wiman's plan to admit American goods free of duty, and shut out English goods. This means Annexation, and is intended for nothing but Annexation by the shrewd Yankee wire-pullers into whose hands some of our leading Grit poli- ticians have placed themselves. To show what the views of the Government at (t- tawa are, we give the following extract from the speech of che Hon. Mr. Chapleau, Sec- retary of State for Canada, delivered on last Friday at Kingston, which was tele- graphed to the New York Herald, from whitch we extract it :
Kivoston, Ont., Jan. isvl.—Hon. Mr. Chapleau, Secretary for Canads, in an ad. leess delivered here last night, referred to the extended powers of Mr. Biaine, and said that he believed that Mr. Blatne was, in his ioner- most heart, a friend of Canada. He said that those who argued that Canada must surrender her growing industries to the United States sre opposed to the wishes of the people of the Dominion. It is impossible, be declared, to have Free Trade with the United States and at the same time to discriminate against England, Canada was, however, prepared for tree trade relations with the United States, He was in favor of fall reciprocity with the United States in natural products. [f at any time there was an expression of ill-feeling be- tween the two countries it never went from this side of the line. , Canada wants to deal with the United States,aa nation with nation,”

Alarm of the Grits.
)°
mete
‘Ine fright which seized upon leading op- positionists when they heard the rumor thata general election is imininent, was wonderful. They ought to have been de- lighted at the news. Judging by all their brave words in the years that are past,
they only desired a chance _ to eject Sir John and his celleagues— they only wanted an opportunity
to test public opinion upon the question of Unrestricted Reciprocity with the States and a prohibitory tariff against Great Britain and all other natious of the world ! The state of alarm and disorder into which they have been thrown, is, therefore,amazing. What better time for an election than the present, when men have leisure to discuss the great issue of Unrestricted Reciprocity ’ The ‘)ppositionists should be thankful to the Government if the chances of an elec- tion are afforded them. But they are, judging by their conduct, evidently filled with fear and foreboding.
The cavse is evident. The Opposition Party is * at sixes and at sevens.” Their oid and respected Leader, the Hon. Alex- ander MeKenzie, has expressed the opinion thatin anyarrangement for reciprocity with the States, ‘‘ England must not be ex- cluded.” One of their ablest men and best debaters, the Hon. David Mills, is known to be disgusted at the turn Sir Richard Cartwright and Mr. Laurier et al have taken. The followers of the party are dissatisfied and restless. There has been too much coquetting with avowed Annexa- tionists, like Choquette. A party conven- tion has been called in « hurry. Efforts are being made to heal the breach. To have a general election precipitated upon them at this junctare isto have that which will overwhelm them with disaster. No wonder that they are sick at heart !
After all these years they have been un- able to frame a policy in support of which siey can unite their efforts for the attain- tainment of the common aim and end—the Government offices at Ottawa. This fact speaks volumes, Lither the Leaders of the Opposition Party are not men of genuine ability, or the Administration of Sir John Macdonald has been conducted with con- summate ability,-- or both. In any case, Sir John Macdonald will, should he decide toappeal to the people at this juncture, vceupy with his party a very strong position, while the Oppositionists will occupy—no p sition at all,

TinkINc themselves remarkably clever,
the grits recently resorted ta the dodge of establishing a soup kitchen in Ottawa, as damaging the Gov- Of
ineans of
course, the event was telegraphed widely. All the continent, the news was served at the breakfast table that the Ottawa were
starving and its mechanics idle ; that pri-

vate relief having proved insufficient, and organized charity helpless, as «@ last re- source soup was being dispensed gravuit- No persons were

more surprised to this alarming
condition of things than Ottawa people themselves, particularly those counected with the numerous charitable institutions of the capital. Enquiry eheited the infor- mation that the responsible chief cook, or **Good Samaritan,” as he modestly dubs himself, Dr. Mark, a
preacher, a physician without practice,
was one retired a professional philanthropist, and an official of the Mowat Government. No complaint was heard as to the quality of the soup; but a more serious obstacle presented itself to the success of the scheme: the applicants were scarce. Two or three little girls and a
couple of old women did present them- while we have ‘sports around town,” who were lark, would have been supplied with unlimited quanti- ties, only that they insisted on paying for it! As will easily be understood of Or- tawe—the of Government and the residence of’ wealthy people—the poor flock to it from all parts of the country, so that there is always more distress seeking relief than in other cities of similar size (45,000)
The Ottawa journal, which was loul in its praise of the disinterested philantrophy of Dr. Mark, was greatly surprised to find that that gentleman’s liberality was not taken advantage of. = It ceeded to investigate and called upon the eharitable societies connected with the toman Catholic church, to which coramun-

In the St. Anne branch,
was known, six or seven families were supported because the heads ha@ no work this winter. In our Lady and St. Bridget’s branch, ‘‘ very few asked support ou the sole ground of want of employment,” and the Vice-President knew of no special case of great distress and thought the St. Vincent de Paul So- ciety fully able to cope with all the cases of poverty among the Roman Catholic po- pulation. St. Jean Baptist branch had about the same number of poor people as last year. St. Joseph and Sacre Coeur branches had a very small number cof poor to support, not exceeding the figures of last year. St. Patrick's branch covered the largest tield of operation, but the Pres- ident said the figures were not much larger than last year at the same season ; eleven families were receiving support, three be- ing on account of sickness and four being widows.
If there distress Ottawa, the officers of these charitable so- cieties would be aware of it, and it is safe ta conclude that if that if there was none among Catholics there was none among Protestants. The whole scheme of the soup kitchen was a transparent grit dodge which fizzled badly, leaving the grits themselves hopelessly ‘*‘ in the soup.”’

urns’ Anniversary.
Tne Lyceum was thronged last even- ing on the occasion of the Burns’ Anni- versary Coacert given under the auspices of the Caledonian Club, the proceeds of which go towards relieving the poor of the city. Before eight o'clock every seat in the body of the hall and in the gallery was taken up, and chairs had to be placed in the aisles, yet a goodly number of persons were obliged to stand. ‘he programme opened with a short address from the Chief of the Club, Hon. A. A. McDonald, in the course of which he dealt with the work of the Club in relieving distress, and with the splendid work done in the same direction by the Masons, Oddfellows, and other instit ULES, The soloes, ** Tam Gien,” and ** O" a’ the Airts the win can Blaw,” were sung by Mrs. Roome in good voice and with much feeling; and Mrs. James Byrne gave ‘Jessie, the Flower o’ Dumblane,” in excellent style. Miss Tillie Brown sus- tained her reputation in “* Ye Banks and Braes,”’ and also took the place of Mrs. E. H. Norton, who was unable to be presént, singing ‘* Annie Laurie,” the selection Mrs. Nerton was to have given. ‘Scotland Yet,” was sung by Prof. Caven, as only he could sing it, and Prof. Macleod’s rendi- tion of ** John Grumlie” so amused the andience that he was obliged to respond to
an encore. Mr. James Davison was down for two songs, ‘Scots Wha Hae,’ and ‘There was a Lad,” both of which
were well given; and Mr. H. Wilson’s solo, ‘Flow Gently, Sweet Afton,” was favor- ably received. The quartette, ‘Birks o’ Aberfeldy,” was well sung by Mrs. Roome, Miss Wilson, Mr. Davison, and Mr, Wil- son. Rev. Mr. Carruthers was unable to recite **Tam O'Shanter,” as announced, for usaveidable causes, but, instead, he told the story of ‘Jock Johnson, the Tinker,’ in # manner which pleased the audience immensely. Mr. T. A. MeLean recited “Lord Ullin’s Daughter” so well, that he was obliged to respond to an en- core. The violin solo, ‘*Blue Belis of Scot-
land,” by Mr. Vinnicombe, was given in thac gentleman's best style, and was deservedly encored. Later on, Mr.
Vinnicombe and Miss Macdonald gave a violin duet, ‘‘ Moderato from IIL Sonate,” which wasalso well received and encored. Mr. Fietcher’s selection of Scotch Airs on the cornet, was of course, well given, and the piano duet, “* Strathspeys and Reels,” by Misses Wilson and Road was excellent. The accompanists were the Misaes W.lsou,
Lewis and Caven, and Messrs. Dianchard and Tanton. The entertainment was brought te» a close with “‘Auld Laag Syne” and *‘ Gud Sive the Qaeen.”” The
concert may saivly be set down as one of the successes of the season, if not tie most successful. ;

Strengthening
Markets
The Breeders Gazette, published at Chicago, reports that the new year starts in encourag- ingly for those engaged in the live-stock in- dustry, so far as the market for butchers’ stock is concerned. The first two weeks of 1891 have seen more than ordinary activity in the different branches of the market, and “a marked enhancement for cattle and sheep Cattle are worth from 40 to sixty cents per 100 lbs. more than they were the middle of last month, and the advance in sheep is scarcely less marked. That the course of the hog market was not as strongly upward was simply by reason of the largely increased receipts, the ariivals of the first ten commercial days of this month having reached the remarkable average of 49,000 head per day. Of the advance in cattle fifteen to twenty cents has been made within the last week. There were no signs of # reaction until to-day (Monday), when the arrivals amounted to about 22,000 head. The market may—probably will—show wesknees for the next few days, bat the tendency of prices for ali grades of cattle seems at last un- mistakably apward.
