lished his chief work, and Poverty,” which speedily obtained a world-wide reputation. He removed to New York iv 1880 and was an unsuccessful candidate for the Mayorality of that city

in 1886. Shorily after his defeat he established a weekly newspaper — the Standard. In 1883 he published his views

on “The Land Question;” in 1884, “Social Problems;” and in 18386, “Protection or Free Trade.” These publications have set many persons thinking. Mr. George’s contentions, summed up in @ line, were for Free Trade andthe Taxation of Laad Values. So strongly was he iv favor of Free Trade, that he advocated the removal of all restrictions upon the manufacture or sale of liquore, contending that the liquor evi! would, under the changed conditions, speedily cure itself. His idea that poverty could be reduced or abolished by th® application of “A Single Tax” on “Land Values” is, of course, ridiculous. But it has been elevated by Mr. George’s logical astuceness aod great literary ability into a political doctrine that ia held by many intelligent persons throughout America aod Great Britain. Mr. George was, at his death, one of the candidates for the office of Mayor of Greater New York. His canvass had attracted a great deal of public attention by reason of his scathing denup. ciations of Croker and Tammany.

THE WITNESS AND MR. TARTE.

"Tae Montrea! Witness has had its eyes opened—~in part at least—to the character of the Government which it helped into ottice and power. Commenting upon the fact that needed improvements to the harbor of Montreal have been kept at a standstill,—“‘though one of the most favorable seasons ever known for such work is slipping by,” the Witness says.

“If it were not outrageous, it would be ridiculous that it should be within the power of a wilful man like Mr. Tarte to stand between the city and the Business Interests no only on the port of Montreal but of the Dominion, and the execution of urgently neceesary harbor improvements. Everything must await the good humor of an unreasonable man who assumes the airs of a petty despot towards the shipping tradeand commercial] interest. Here isa man whose personal opinion in regard to sucha question would never have been considered of the very slightest importance had he not been pl in @ position in which it is possible for him to make that opinion if not over-ride, yet stand in the way of the carefully studied and worked ont plan of experienced engineers, which has the approval of all the greatest business interests most concerned. One of the most experienced dock managers in the world also approves of the same plan, modified so as to give slightly wider piers, but his opinion has apparently no more inSnence upon Mr. Tarte than the opinion of the engineers and of the repreeentatives of the business interests involved.”

Why is Mr. Tarte thus uninfluenced alike by engineers and men of business ? The Witness says :

“Mr. Tarte cares little or nothing about +he shipping and commercial interests, What he cares for is the expenditure of the money where in his blindness he thinks most politica) capital isto be made,”

This is the declaration of a newspaper which was not long since one of the strongest supporters of the Liberal Gov- eroment in all Canada. The ‘Liberal Government ie being found out not alone by the Witness, but by the country at large. Political capital and private capital, not the public good, are the motives by which the Laurier Administration is actuated,

“EARLIER INTELLIGENCE.”

“earlier “,otelligence” about Guardian continues to boast.

. . } inst , the Guardian reported :

“So far as we have heard the proposal that Hon. Mr. Farquharson shall become Premier bas been tavorably received.

On the l&h the Guardian declared

that—

nr iin, . ) *The following would

provably be as the geoeral public as any of

the lates” so far made up:—

Hon. D. Farquharson, Premier and Minister ot Agriculture,

Mr. Warburton or Mr. Bell, Attorney General,

Mr. McLanghlin,or some other, Commis-

sioner Public Works, (It is to be noted that The Guardian was determined to be correct in its intellivence

concerning the Commissioner of Public Works. ]

On the ] 9h it said:

"2° men. of energy, knowledge of public atfars, first-class busine s capacity aod one who will com-

mand the respect of the eutire province, is & prime necessity for the place. Such a man we have pow within the honse and the government in Hon. Donald Farquhar- The moral sentiment of the country is at his back. No man within the province has a stronger claim upon his party; none possesses in larger measure the business qualities so urgently needed at the present juncture at the head of the government, and on all grounds his claims are such that unless personally waived by himself, it is bard to see how they can be got over without irretrievable weakoess and loss of strength resulting.”

On the 25th, the Guardian informed the public that—

“Great interest and importance centres in the meeting of Liberal members to-day to setile the’succession to the Pre- miership. As in the individual man, so in parties, there are opposing principles struggling for supremacy. It is so in the Liberal party in our provincial affairs. On the one side are the elements that make for moral order in the commuuity, and for honest, businesslike and economical man- agement of our public aftirs. On the other side are the elements that would con- tinue the too lavish expenditures of the past and the efforts to conciliate the liquor interest, with other features of weakness. Report has it that the two sections of the party are approximately equal in members in the caucus. We are satisfied that the former commands the respect and confidence of the great! majority in the country, a majority who will never consent to see their chusen representatives relegated to the backyrowal. On the choice made to-day, much will depead as to the futare attitude of the independent thinking por- ticn of the community toward the new ad ministration,”

son,

On the evening of the 25th, the Liberal Partv, in caucus convened, decla‘ed its Opinion of the value of allthis “earlier intelligence” by electing Dr. A. B. Warbur- ton to be theft Leader!

On the 26:h the Guardian announced this fact and vestured a prediction con- cerning the personel of the Warburton cabinet which has not been fulfilled in one important and significant particular; and since then the Guardian has been “mum” as to the “opposing principles,” anj clashing ‘‘elements,” though it continues to boast about its ‘earlier iutelligence.”

The Guardian’s stedfastness to its “prin- ciples” iso remarkable that we need not wonder if it should approve the entry of the Hon. Donald Farquharson into the “background” of the Warburton Cabinet, and the mixing of the “elements” as here- tofore.

—Referring to the formation of the Warburton Cabicet, the Halifax Herald says: “ according to the Charlottetown Guardian, without any reference to polities, this is atriumph of the forces opposed to the more moral and orderly elements of the community.” The Herald should note that this was “earlier intelligence”—before Mr. Warburton was selected as the man to form s cabinet! The Guardian does’nt say 30 now,

—Apropos of the care which Tennyson’s biography shows that he took with bis poems,a critic recalls the painstaking labor of Wordsworth, as indicated ip the journal of Dorothy Wordsworth : “William has come back tired; he has spent all che day in thinking of an adjective for the cuckoo.

— Advices from Ottawa report that a

formidable deputation from Western Ontarto interviewed the premier a few days azo, on the subject of the ex-

port of pvatural gas. Not oniy are the gentlemen of the deputation opposed to the granting of a license to a new company but they desire that the present company, the Ontario Natural Gas Company, which is snpp'ying gas tothe people of Detroit, be restricted in the amount it shall export. Four stalwart liberal members, Messrs Lister, McGregor, Cowan and Fraser (Lambton) were present and backed up the high protectionist doctrine propound- ed by the deputation.

—Mr. George Anderson, of Toronto, who sailed from Vancouver on August 2nd,! to visit Japan as Canadian trade commission- er, has returned to bie home. He says that he is well satisfied with the succese of his trip and that he belives that if the matter is properly taken in hand a very large trade can be opeaed between Canada and Japan. He was received very kindly by the Japanese, who were evidently very anxious 'o cultivate trade with the Domin- ion. “All the western Province-,” coa- tinued the trade commissioner, “ will iargely benefit by the development of this trade, aod particularly Manitoba and Winnipeg, which is now the geographical centre and will become the commercial hubio the extension of trade relations with the Orient.”

— Mitchell‘and Gerard. members of the Chambre de Commerer Francaise of Mont- real, bave veen in Oitawa to urge the government to subsidize a direct line of steamships to France. They also advocate the effective repre-entation of Canadian ss aagaat at the Paris exhibition in 1990.

he premier informed the deputation that the offer of a subsidy of $50,000 for a direct French live still held good and would be granted to any compavy which would perform the service under the government conditions, As to the Paris exhibition the intention of the government was to appoint a commissioner, ere long, for the purpose of arranging for a representative display by Canada,

Toronto Star: So far the roller boat is what the critics call a success d’estime. It bas rolled, but not fast enough to endanger navigation in small boats on the bay. Even a stone hooker can avoid a collision when the approaching monster is bowling along at the rate of three miles an hour. The inventor talks of sixty revolutions a minute inetead of six, and of sixty miles an bour instead of three, of feathering paddles, and more of them, of engines in the center, snd of afew other improvements before the roller boat takes all the nu ar- ine business, As matters stand, the leverage gained by a peddier in its down turn it lost the instant it passes the centre on the upturn, and is forced to lift the weight of water that it pushed before it. This caused the boat to “slip,” losing much of the impetus acquired by the downward propulsion. If feathering peddiers were set the whole length of the cylinder, if these peddlers were not so deep, and if there were twice ae many of them aa are con- templated by the inventor; if the engines were geared differently, and worked to their tull power, the roller boat might travel at a high rate of speed. But this isa form- idable catalogue of “‘its,” aud the result is conjectural,

FIGHT PICTURES AT MONCTON.

Moncrox, Oct. 28.—The Monzton Opera House was crowded with people last night anxious to see whether the views exhibit- ed by the Veriscope were, as advertised, the real reproduction of the Carson City fight. It will be remembered that Moncton thertre goors smashed the machine ofa company which gave a fake exhibition and a similar scene was feared last night. The pictures however showed every round of the fight clearly and distinctly and proved to be Dan Stewart’s genuine reprojuction. The etirringseenes were enthusiastically cheered by the audience.
