WHAT DID HE MEAN ?

Sir Wilfrid Laurier said im his latest epeech that the people of Canada are noi now in favor of reciprocity with the Unit- ed States. The Montreal Star cannot, ip view of a 1 the conditions, grasp bis mean- ibis statement. Tt

ing when be made

asks,—

the Canadian people wisbed to allow American corn to come into Canada tree, while Canadian barley cannot get into the United States without payment of » high duty?

Did he meao that our people think Am- erican Jumber should come into Canada free, while Canadian Jumber is taxed two d ilars per thousand at the American boundary ?

Did he mean that Canadians think thar our pulp wood should go freely tc the American pulp aud paper mills as raw material, while our shutout of the United States by high duties ?

Did be mean that our people wish the Americans to have free access to Canad. ian logs, while they refuse to buy Canad- ian lumber?

Did he mean thatthe feeling in Canada is that American refineries should continue to get Canadian nickel ore or nickel matie, while the United States imposes high duties on refined nickel to prevent refineries being ertablished in Canada?

Did be mean that Canadians think cheap labour should be brought into Canada from the United S:ates without restriciion, while the American alien labour Jaw s!uts Canadian workmen out of the United States.

In short, did be mean that the feeling in Canada now is thatthe United States should get a!| kinds of favours from Can~ ada, while Canada gets no reciprocal fay- ours from the Uniied States ?

The answer to these questions ought to be given in the force of legislation to pro-~

CORRUPTION IN THE YUKON.

We note that some of the papers say that Mr. Sifton bas fully and satisfactorily answered the statements of Sir Charles Hibbert Tupper io regardtothe admin- strationofthe Yukoo Territory. This position may be taken as preliminary toa refusal on the part of the Gcvernment to grant the public investigation which Sir Charles Hibtberthas demanded. Bat the people of Canada cannot be so easily satie~ fied that sl! is well inthe Yukon. Sir Charles Hibbert’s statements are too ims portant and too definite to be dispoeed of by a speech of the Minister of the Interior, even if they were aot bourne out by the declarations of independent men. For instance, the editoref The Nugget, of Dawson City, (whois now in Utiawa) lately declaied & representa-~ tive of the Montreal] Star that—

to

“The absolute absence of 8 cur ty is the one thing that most militgies againet success in the Yukon distrist, The ad

minstration of the Gold Commissioner's office in Dawson is the most corrupt under heaven. As an instance, 1 know of one piece of land to which there are four cer

tificates on record, and againet on«- half of the claims is a bill of sale, carryiag two- thirds interest. No person with capital can purchase ground without ranning a chance of incurring a lawsuit or having a defective title. If a mixer records his right to @ claim and it proves barren, be is deprived of the pr.vilege of taking up anotherone io that locality, no matter what sacrifice hae been invo!ved in demon- strating thattheclaim contsins nothing. They chargethat instead of encouraging the development of the country, the Gover- ment have thrown every obstacle in the way, not Only through infamous regula~ tions,tut also through jacompetent officals,

A noiversal feeling of uncertainty prevai!l- ed ‘hroughout tbe woole cowatry,and it wos coming 0 @ be more and more recognized fact that to do business, orto obtain any legitimate concessions, a miner had to have a sirong pull somewhere. “Go up and down any of these creeks,” continued the epeaker ‘‘and if you cana fiad one man who says be hes the slightest confideace in the Government officials in the Yukon, Vil forfeitthe claim to my business 10 Dawson. Thisis a very strong state- ment, but nevertheless is substartiated by fact. Ii is almost impossible to get anything or to cooduct busivess at all with the Government without some crooked work beiog resorted to.”

Besides the corruption, there are Gove ernment regulatioos which hinder the dee velopement of the country. Lt is staied that there are any quantity of moderately rich ‘claim? lying idle, simply because under the present regulations it is im 08 sible for them io be worked with any profit.

NOTES AND COMMENTS.

—A suggestion for Premier Farqubar- eon is ceatained in a late cablegram from Paris to the effect that since January last a tax of 25 francs bas been levied upon apmarned men natives of Madagascar.

—It bas been r->ma-ked that two week of debate on the address in the House of Commons bas produced asituation tha’ may make the talk last another week. The signs multiply that 1899’s will be re- member d both as an angry and @ protraci~ ed sessivn of parliam«nt.

—Edward Bok, «ditor of the Ladies Home Journa’, informs literary aspirants that the way to write ia first to have something to say, and then say it ae well as youcan. That is all there is about it. If what you say is something which the world wants to bear, an editor will find it out quick enough when you send him the manuecr'pt.

—A Murray River correspondent of Tne Guardian writes that peoyle ther? are much interested in the Scrimgeour bonded warehoure controversy going Oo in the papers, as Mr. Scrimgeoug comes to that lovality at least twice a year lo see about the bounty money due the fishermen every year. And a great many are en- quiring why does the Minister of Marine avd Fisheries bave such a persistent law - breaker to fil! that office when there are so many law abiding men of their party in the county who could dothe work just as well and who deserve the office more ?

—The London correspondent of the New York Tr.bune calls attenuon to the extra- ordinary change of seutiment in Great Bri- tain on the question of free trade and pro- tection. He says that the imposition of duties on imports has been ovenly adyo~ cated iv quartera which have always b en regarded, hithertc, as stronghdids of fre: trade orthodoxy. He points out that there has been a complete fa'lure to arouse ai agitation againstthe decision to impos: duties on bounty-fed sugars when import- ed into India. A few years ago, he rays, such a proposal would have evoked a storm in England, but now the protests of free traders Lave faller fat and elicited no

esponse from the public,

—The Journal reports that it is pro- posed to form a company, uncer the joint stock companies act, to be known as * The Summerside Steamehip Company, Limit- ed,” with headquarters at Summerside, to operate a sieamer or steamers On the route toand from Cape Tormentine to Weat Cape, snmmer and winter. The capital stock of the Company has been placed at$8,- 000, in eight hundred shares of par value of ten dollars each, for the purchase cf the steamer Mayflower. Six hundred shares will be offered the public at par on the following terms—25 per cent on al- lotment, 25 per cent within 50 days from thedate of allotment, 25 per cent within sixty days ofthe. date of allotment, and the remainiog 25 per cent as soon as called

—Commenting upon the danger of a panic consequent upon au elarm of fire at the Vpera House during the progrese of ap enteriainment or avy public gavkering tuerein, the Guardian says: Tbe public safety imperatively demands that sufficient avenues of escape shall be provided and always ready tor instant use especially when a large body uf people are present in the Opera House. We are told that there ig always some person in the Opera Hou-# on such occasions with a key to the sidedoors and ready to open them if Occasion requires. This does not meet the case. When, in case of panic, bun- dreds of peojla are struggliag to make their @seape is ne time to begin the un- locking of doors. It might pot even be

possible fir the map with the key to reach the door at such atime. Avd the kvow- ledge that these doors are usually kept

Peacefully paseed away at Faleonwood, on ‘luesday, March 28th, 1899, Mr... B J. Macdonald, Matron of the Hospital tor

which she

mouths, bore with ex- | emplary patience and Christian | resignation. Everyibing was _ done

which the best medical ski/] and family aff-ction could devise, to alleviate ber sufferings and effect her recovery. But all | was of no avail, aod ehe at ja-t vielded up — ber soulto God who gave it,and her body to the dust from whence it was ‘iaken. Almost the last words she uttered to her fellow ‘officers were: “ Keep cheerful, keep cheerful, [ ehall not be long with you.” For the last seven~ teen years, the writer wes intimately ac- quainted with her, andyde: can truly say that she discharged the very arduous duties of her position faithfully and well. In the words of another, * Her death will be sincerely regreited by many frieods,and it, moreover, involves adisuinct loss to the public service. Mrs. McDonald was com petent and ac’ ive, kind and popular, a wo- man of prov d ability aid character, It wili b- difficult to fiod a person who will so well fulfil the duties of the responsible position which she, for meay years, neld io the hospital.”

She had a strong sense of justice, and an utter abhorrence of anything like injastice, erp cially towards ber proteges, the in mates of the institution, who regarded ber a8 & mother injdeed as she was in fact the matron. On Wednesday a number of the patients expreseed a desire to see the re- maine®, wen that desire was at once com- plied witn, and, upon their being asked who it was? it was pathetic in the ex- treme to hear several of them exclaim, “mother,” “moti er,” “mother.” As an evi- dence of the high esteem in which she

was held may be mentioned the nume.-, ous fl ral gifts coniributed. Among

others, crosses by Mrse.(Dr.) E. 8. Blan- chard asd Mr. C. D, Rankin; crescents by Messrs. Wm. McPhail, R MacPherson, L. C. Worthy and the Y. P. 8. C. E. of Zon Church; a potted flowering plant by Miss Mary MacOarron; wreaths by Mrs. Mal- colm MacLeod, Mrs.Geo. A. B. Macden~

ald, Mr. G. Waller and Mr. L. G. Whear. Oo Thursday at 1.30 p.m., Rev. M-.

Fuilerton conducted the -services at the house, when the remains were accom- panied by a large namber of friends to Zion Church where services were con- ducted by the Rev. Mr. Thompson, a large audience being in attendance. Thence the funeral proceeded to the People’s Cemetery. The pall bearera were: Messrs C. D. Rankin, G. Davison, S. Lowe, J. T. McKenzie, G. Hughes and Samuel MeDoua'd.

To the bereaved husband and daughter, and otLer relatives we tender our sincere and heartfelt sympathy.—Com,
