‘drive a hard bargain with the company. |

They wanted to make such terms’ that would prevent the company coming to Par- liament at the end of two or three years and asking for additional concessions,

Mr. Blake had complained that the road- way was to be free of taxes for ever was nothing new. Canada Pacitic was oue hundred feet wide That was the only land exempt from taxes for ever. The Untted States Government had exempted from taxes’ for over four hundred feet of right of way for its North- ern Pacific. (Loud applause.) $25,000,000 and twenty-five million acres of land, tegether with the® road now com- pleted, aud so get rid of this great respon- sibility for ever, than to be taxed $78,000, - 000 to complete the read, tv run it at a great loss annually, and then have the un- settled and undeveloped land of the North West on their hands besides: He had no denbt of the country’s decision of behat point.

He made a strong point by showing from Mr. Blake's own admissions that if the Company sell their lands for $5 an acre the Government would certainly sell theirs fer a similar sum, and thus speedily recoup the country of the $25,000,000 given as bonns to the Company. (Cheers. }

Be a Government as excellent administra- tors as you ean got, yet the Company would always operate a road at a greater profit than the Government. (Cheers.)

He defended the clause giving the Syndi- cate power to build branch roads, and said that the Syndicate, who were undertaking this gigantic work, should enjoy the benefit of building branch roads through their own lands, and profit by any advantages to be derived therefrom. He argued that the Syndicate would be induzed to build Lranch roads in order te seil cmd settle their lands, and thus obtain freight for their main line. These branch lines would enhance the value of the lands owned by both the Syndicate and the Government. (Cheers. )

To hear Blake speak, one would think that the Syndicate were going to move the lands away from the North West to the heart of Central Africa, and that Canada would never derive benefit from them. It is true, we are giving the land to the Syn- dicate ; but the Syndicate will bring in settlers who will cultivate it, and Canada will benefit by receiving these people. They will be the life blood of the country ; they will contribute largely to the revenue, and they will in time send their representatives (o this Parliament.

He could not see how the Syndicate were to become the ‘‘ landlords of the North- West,” when they only possessed 25 out of 250 million acres.

The Grits appear determined to do all in their power io prevent the settlement of this vast country. They are especially op- posed to Irish immigrants settling there, and they have sent forth the fiat, ‘‘ No Irish need apply.” He reminded Blake, amid the cheers of the House, of his 1874 speech, in which he advocated Chinese iabor, and said he supposed Blake would prefer hordes of Chinese heathens to the houest Irish settlers. (Great Cheers.)

Coming to that part ef Biake’s speech, in which he had advocated building the Sault Ste Marie branch and the utilization of American roads, Mr. Langevin deciared that the policy of the Government in this

respect was ‘*Canada for Canadians.” (Cheers.) They were determined to have

a Canadian Pacific Railway. (Cheers.) They would never consent to spend one cent of Canadian money for the benefit of Americans, but the Grits wanted them to build a large section of road, very largely, if not solely, for the Americans’ benefit. The Government took guarantee that the road would be operated for the first ten years, being convinced that the population and trade of the North-West would be such

iat the end of that time as to assure its

being operated. Mr. Langevin briefly recapitulated the points he had made, and concluded a three

‘* Robert Southey is my name; England is iny Nation; Keswick is my dwelling place; Aud Albums are--— My very great detestation.”

Wuxn THe Press Ovent to Herre rex GoveRNauENT.—-The editur of a London newspaper affrwed that he always su ported the Government when they were in the right. A certain great Minister of | State remarked : *‘ We don't need to be supp irted when we are in the right ; what we d> need is to be supported when we are in tho wreng ! Sic semper!

The following is from a letter written, many years ago, by a settler in Van Die- mens Land, now called Tasmania: “ Even in ovr small establishment, our cook has committed murder, our footman burglary, and our housemaid bigamy !”

An idea prevalent among many young people 18, that it is beneath their dignity te engage in useful employment, especially if it be of an humble character. They think that fine dress, fine looks and idleness, will give them position and influence in society. Of what use are those walking fashion plates, these white fingered lovers of ease, to the world. They may look nice, but is it not much better to be useful, to know that we are doing good to some one, than to be admired simply for good looks? Never shun humble employment, no matter of what kind; take hold of it bravely, and have the consciousness of doing your part in the busy world. Live for usefulness, not for show.

One of the greatest virtues boys and girls can have is self-respect. This is the feel- ing thet lifts them above resenting petty affronts, that keeps them proudly aloof from lvw company, and that preserves them from dealing in flattery and toadyism, Itis not very common among the young, for it is partly the result of experience and reflection ; but wherever it is found, it is a sign of solidity of character, and an omen

of success in life.

As long as the Government wants re- venne, we suppose liquor will be mannfac- tured ; as long as it is manufactured, men will drink it; avd as loug as men drink it, there will be reeruits for an inebriate asylum.——Torento Telegram.

When Mr. Gladstone is at home at Hawarden he begivs the day with Morning Prayer at the village church. His theory seems to be that prayer may help but will not hinder work.

There are of all sorts some 489 churches and chapels in the city of New York, sus- tained at a cost annually of about $5,000,- 000. There are 8,000 saloons, and in them yearly are expended $60,000,000.

A Good Account.

‘To sum it up, six long years of bed-rid- den sickness and suffering, costing $200 per year, total $1,200--ali which was by three bottles of Hop Bitters taken by my wife, who has done her own house- work for a year since, without the loss of a day, andI want everybody to know it for their benefit.”
