APRIL 8, 1889.

Notes and Comments.

—The suggestion of Hon. Mr. Prowse, that a certain amount be deducted from the allowance of members of the Legislature for every day they are absent at the open- ing of the House, is a good one.

—It is, of course, understood that the business of the Legislature may go on with- out thereporter. Yet it is undoubtedly ad- visable (1) thet a record of the proceedings of the Legislature be obtained, and (2) that the public should be informed concerning the sayings and doings of its representa- tives. Under the present system only the first of these objects can be obtained. The newspapers cannot afford to publish long columns of debate for nothing ; for most of their limited space is necessarily filled up by general news. On the other hand, the Parliamentary Reporter— costing hundreds of dollars every> year—is of no value tv the public ; for it is not issued until near- ly a year has elapsed, and is rarely or never seen outside the Provincial Building. The Legislature of Nova Scotia manages better. it employs reporters who are required to send their *‘ copy’’ to the newspapers ; the newspapers are paid (by the column, if we mistake not) for publishing the debates, and are thus enabled to issue supplement- ary sheets; and while of the newspapers re- ceives a small sum in addition for making up fromthe matter, already in type, the Parliamentary Reporter. This plan might be follewed here with little if any addi- tional cost to the public. We “suggested its adoption several years ago,—but the suggestion was not accepted.

—Harper's Weekly, (April 6), has the fol- lowing, which is as applicable to public men ia Canada as to public men in the States :

‘The rumor that a judge in Obio has ac- tually propesed himself as a candidate fur the seat of the late Mr. Justice Stanley Matthews, if not untrue, of course makes him an impos- aible selection by demonstrating his unfitness fer the office. It is, however, an illustration vi the public indecency which is fostered by the eustom of regarding the great trusts of the government as prizes to be grabbed for and sought by the most persistent personal *‘push,” instead of trusts to be conferred deliberately for acknowledged merit. This tendency, in deed, has already acquired such force that if a aan does not posh himself, that fact. is re- garded as conclusive against Lim. ‘‘ Why, he is not a eandidate,” that is to say, not an ap- plicant urging himself and commanding al! the urgency of ethers which is possible, is supposed to be a conciusive statement against the selection. The truth is that precisely in the degree that a man is fitted for an office, he Aeelines to push for it except in the legitimate way of proving his qualification for it. If during aw election campaign he demonstrates his mastery of the pending issues and the power of leadership, he is naturally summoned to a leading place when his party wins. This is the condition and characteristic of popular and parliamentary government.”

-~ To the Agricultural Committee, on the Sed inst., Mr. W. A. Webster told ina very matter of fact way about his trips on foot through Dakota and the Canadian Northwest for the purpose of learning the actual condition of settlers in the respec- tive countries. His testimony was most mteresting, and he summed it up with a picture of the superiority of Manitoba and the Territories over Dakota, which could not but be pleasing to every true Canadian. Mr. Webster made a comparison of the wheat production per acre in Dakota with the yield in the Cananian Northwest. Messrs. Wilson, Bain and Macdonald at once complained that Dakota was not being given a fair show, and by almost abusive <ross-eXamination, they tried to make the witness modify his favorable regard for our own country ; but Mr. Webster would not yield au inch. He said he was a farmer of long experience, and had by the most care- ful investigation ever undertaken in the interest of immigration, collected the data on which he made his statements. He showed himself familiar with every town- ship in the Western States and our own Northwest, and was more than a match for the Grits who were badgering him.

Practical, Sermon.— Yesterday morning Rev. John Read, the popular pastor of the Prinee Street Methodist Church, preached an excellent sermon from Nehemiah 6th Chap- ter, Gth verse. ‘‘It is reported. - «+ - And Gashmen saith it.” In the course of his remarks he deprecated the too common prac- tice indulged in by talkative ple, who were too eager to circulate scandal, but who were very slow in defending the reputation of the accused. To circulate a scandal is equally bad as to originate it. Those in every com- munity who, like bottled flies buzzed’ about the ears of the people, and like the slimy

viper, were ever ready to wound and destroy their neighbor's reputations, should be ostracised by all good citizens. The rev. gentleman ended his discourse by enjoining upon his congregation the practice of all Christian virtues which improve and dingnify human character.

Orrawa, April 7.

Though the Bouse did not sit on Satur- day, the Ministers had no holiday, being in continuous session from 10 in the morning till 6 o’clock in the evening.

All reports telegraphed from here, touch- ing the filling of the vacancy caused by Hon. Mr. Pope's death, are mere conjec- tures. The matter will not be decided till after the House rises,

The terms of the agreement with ‘the Canadian Pacific as to the building of the line from Harvey to Salisbury will be brought down at an early day. There are

}some reasons for believing that in connec-

tion with this undertaking the Frederic-

) ton and St. John Railway bridges will be

made free. Mr. Jones, of Digby, has the ) assurance that work on the missing link will be commenced within a few weeks. Rev. Dr. Herridge, in St. Andrew's Church to-night, preached a powerful ser- mon on Christianity and politics. He de- precated the Jesuits Bill agitationand said the question of supremacy had been settled on the plaius of Abraham. Sir John and many senators and members were present.

ROBBERY FRUSTRATED,

A Plucky Operator.

j

Winnreec, Man., March 6.

At Indian Head this morning a bold at: | tempt was made to robthe C. P. R. and | Dominion Express Co's. office of a large ‘sum of money, Mr, Lewis, who had left lat 11.50 o'clock, leaving three packages of ;monev in charge of night operator Ross \for shipment. About midnight a man came to the waiting office and rapped. On opening the upper half of the door, a mask- ed man presented a full cocked revolver, covering Ross saying, ** I want that money you have ip that drawer without a word.” Ross went to the drawer and got a revol- ver, and, ashe blew oyt the light, the would-be robber fired, missing Ross’ head. The latter fired back and the rascal fled.

Disastrous Fires.

SAVANNAH, Ga., April 7.

At 8.55 o’clock on Saturday a man was lighting the show windows in D. H. Hogan's three storey brick store, on the corner of Boughton and Barnard streets, the heart of the business portion of the city, when some inflammable material caught fire. A high wind prevailed, and in five minutes the

entire building was a blaze. The fire spread rapidly. The total number of build-

ings burned is estiggated at fifty. There was no loss of life or serious imjury to per-

sons. The total loss will aggregate $i,- 250,000.

The Short Line. Montreal, April 6.

_ Mr. Van Horng said to-day that if Par- liament did not rise before the 10th of May, the Canadian Pacific would probably take the Maritime Prcvince members home by the Short Line to St. John.

Under the Stars.

While night envelopes with her tender shade

The loveliness of earth; and tree and flower

Are hid from mortal view, and silent all

The songs of birds and sounds of busy life,

Again [seek the sweet companionship

Ol quiet stars that ever kindly shine;

Again trom earth and all its sweet delights,

And all its sorrowing and anxious pain,

ts velfish aims and wild ambitious hopes,

And from the restless fever of my life,

Ob, quiet stars, I wander forth to thee.

In the sweet music of your re

Obeying nature’s laws ye calmly glide,

Forever bright, and beautiful, an free.

Oh, teach us e’ec to find in nature 8 voice

The voice of God, tranquility and love,

E’en though we mortals feel the grinding wheel

Of nature's ever unrelenting laws

Pags o'er our heads when we have disobeyed.

How many a wanderer through the changeful world

Have ye, oh quiet stars, looked down upon

With silent, quiet, sympathizing eyes, ,

And changed the surging passion of their lives

To patient hope and firm tranquility ?

bo look on me, oh, brilliant, shiningjorbs,

Shed on my life the secret of your calm,

That through the daily pathway of the world,

With willing feet 1 e’er may tread the way

Where duty leads, through pleasure or through rain.

This morn the sun arose with glorious light,

And sweet was labor through the beauteous day;

The strong man toiled, dreamed,

‘The artist fashion-ed some fair delight,

And in the eventide the golden sun

Filled all the land with glowing witchery,

And birds sang sweetly on the woodland bough.

Then lacie settled on a wearied world,

And one by one the beacon fires on high

Began to glimmer from the depths profound

Of vast, illimitable, unknown realms,

Like gleams of inspiration to the brain

Of finite man from the great fatherhood

Of the Supreme Creator of the spheres.

Oh, stars above, ye tell of that great power

To us poor selfish creatures of the dust.

Immortal calm, supreme tranquility.
