.il‘Gi‘sT lfi, ism. Our Public _Holidays.

The Toronto Mail thinks an etlbrt should be made to improve the cliar.ic- ter of our public holidays. It says “ they are 1-hie tly of a negative charac- ter, and there is nothing about thfilll to tire the imagination. A public ho-mhy ,~;,Uui.i be distinguished by events of some kind, whereas ours are only. occasions of refraining from busi. ness and going out somewhere—aim- 16931,: 33 a rule——because it is the cus- tom to go out. \Vhen the time occu- pied in travelling is taken out of the day it reduces the number of hours de- voted to distinct enjoyment. of the oc- cgsion to 3, very small number indeed. We have either forgotten how to Inllte a public holiday or We "8"" l‘“°"'- Surely a more shutting up of shop is not enough. Somethifig 01073 Pl"‘ ture-ique, more poetical, more pleasing to the fancy is wanted than that.”

There is a good deal of force in what the Mail says. Our public holidays pan of? in a very uninteresting way as arnle. And yet after all the public will be content to worry through the few holidnys they get in the old fash- ioned ,,.y_ _\ few "extras" on the ye.“-ly programme would please them better than to be told how they should

spend those they have.

Not Final

While it is hoped and expected that mp new arrangement of the City \\'.u-ds will lead to the election of a dignified business-like Council, we do not for a moment look upon that ar- rangement as tinal. The \Vard sys- tem at its heat. has been found unsatis- fgctory and until it is done away with

Ill THE GAIADIAN PARLIAMENT.

—— -— -—o--

(l'l'l'.\\\’.\, August l3.-«lo the commons to-day Sir John Thompson moved that in consequence of Thomas McGreevy's reply to questions asked in the privileges com- mittee, he be summoned to submit to the house in his place next. Tuesday. On mo- tion for su iply, Sir Richard Cartwright submitted t c following nineiidnielit: That the acceptance of gifts or testi ni.»nials of any kind on the part of minis- ters of the crown, or any niembcr of their

- families, from contractors, government

otliciiils or others having pecuniary rela- tions with the government, is entirely opposite to sound rinciples of administra- tion and calculat to bring parliamentary government into contempt and that the example thus given tends to corrupt and deinoralize the otlicials serving under the mini ters who h we accepted or permitted the acce tance of gifts or testimonials as aforesai .

Sir Richard observed that his motion did not condemn the acceptance of pre- sents froui personal friends not having relations with the government. What he protected against was the acceptance

interested financially in legislation or ad- ministration. The thing had become a public evil. It began many years ago when a testimonial was presented to Sir John Macdonald. There was then extenuating circumstances. Sir John was ill and was poor. It was understood that in the event of his death his family would not be well provided for. Not much fault could have been found with this proceedin had the subscription been refused from a l who had a pecuniary interest,and had the names of subscribers been given to the world. A more remark- able case occurred more rec‘ ntly when a. testimonial was presented to the late min- ister of public works. What followed that event was well known. The events had made Canada a by-word and reproach to every part of the civilized world. Can- ada was coining down to the level of a South American state.-

sni JOHN 'l'R0.\ll’S0.\'

said, before stating his position in respect to the abstract proposition made in the

motion, the last speaker was quite inac-1 curate in his account of Sir John McDon-

ald's testimonial of twenty years ago.

It was not then thought that Sir John

wou‘d ever be in a position to show

- tlicial favor to any persons. He was

supposed to be on his death bed. The

persons who subscribed to that testimoni-

al could not have been open to censure,

and, indeed, Sir Richard could not have

intend -d to impute wrong motives for he

believed Sir Richard was himself ii. con-

tributor t - that testimonial. Referring to the testimonial presented to Sir Hector Laiigeviii eight years ago, Sir John did

not care to say more than one thing,

namely, that Sir Hector had sworn that

he did not know the name of more than one contributor and he‘not a contractor; therefore he could not have been influenc-

He protestcd against the statement that

think that had :\b0lltl°“ °f l-he “"'d' Canada had because a reproach and a by

been placed before the electors on Wednesday last it would have been handsomely supported. It was feared however by many Réformers when

the City Bill was being prepared that such a radical reform would not be ac- ceptable to a majority of the citizengand as it was felt that some change should be made at once, re-arrangement on the basis of representation by popula- tion was agreed upon as likely to be W,-cepuble to the greatest number. The light thrown on the subject by the recent campaign, however. seems to show that public sentiment isasstrong for collective voting as we thought it wg. Of course oppositioniats are in- clined to endorse anything if by so doing they can weaken the cause they oppose, and it may be that many who spoke so emphatically for abolition would have been on the other side of it had that question been actually be- fore the electors. Bl“: 8' 3l"93dI stated, we believe a majority are in favor of it, and the Civic Reformer: who cannot now be designated as “a few fanatics,” and “a handful of in- triggers," will be expected to carry abolition to a successful issue when the proper time arrives. Certain it is that Wednesday's victory has paved the way for any improvement which defeat would have rendered impossible of at.tainment——for a long time at least.

The Queen very Busy.

Nsiv Yoiix. Aug. 11.--Edmund Yates’ cable letter from London says: —— The Queen has been unusually busy during an 1”; ten days, what with preparations for the visit of the French fleet, the en- tertainment of the Prince of Naples. the

ent of several tiresome matters of business and certain family affairs. H9; Iajeaty is lo king forward to leaving Osborne, as the bracing air of Deeaide suita her much better at this season than the relaxing climate of the l.~ile_ of Wight. The Empress Eugenie goes this ‘week to Osborne for a few days on a visit to the

Queen. .j<--&—:--"

Another Reconciliation Service.

Loxnox, Aug. l0.—Tho ancient 3-'|=l unusual ceremony of reconciliation has been performed in a Londmi church for the second time within a few months, al-_ tboqb it had not been ' before for many years. The first case was caused by a man who shot himself during the services in St. Paul’: cathedral. The church was purified or “reconcil ,” which is the ecclesiastical word. The second caseAof reconciliationfiwas

as savoring too much of the

it"-

word among nations for political immor- rality. There was nothing in the pro- ceedings before parliament yet developed to justify the extreme language used by Cartwright."l'urning now to the resolu- tion itlelf. Sir John said that if its con- tained one half what Cartwright had said in his speech, the house would, no doubt. feel called upon to vote it down. How- ever menibers wereiiiot tailed upon to vote for the speech, but for the abstract

rinciples contained in the resolution. These general principles were so sound that the mini~ter of justice said he was disposed to accept them. He would therefore not oppose the amendment. Motion passed.

A Novel Commission.

Dr. Heber Roberts at present in Mont- real is medical health oflicer of Butte City, Mont. He istravelling as a special com- missioner for that place in search of any known method of relieving his community from the smoke nuisance. This nuisance at Butte City is of no ordinary nature. It arises from the sulphurous fumes arising from silver and co per smelling furnaces, which it is calcu ated emit as much as two hundred and fifty tons of sulpliurous fumes daily out of their stacks. Butte city is situated on the slope of the Rockies, and is, unfortunately, sub- ject at times to absolute calms. At such times the air becomes so charged with sulphur that one can hardly see his hand before him. It is as bad as a London fog, and affects the health of the people, esp ‘chilly those inclined to pneumonia. The idea is to find some way of utilizing these fumes. Dr. R-ibarts says: “ We could turn them into sulphuric acid if there was sufficient demand, but we could now make more sulphuric acid than is ie- quired at present by the whole earth. To turn it into the streams would poison the water for drinking purposes, so we are in a quandary.” The reporter suggested turning it into sulphuric acid, shipping it to the coast and dumping it into the sea, but the doctor said he feared that would be too costly.

The German Emperor.

The German Emperor evidently sup

poses that his recent invasion of his

rn.iidmotlier's court was one of the most important events which has occurred in the history of England since the Norman conquest. I hear that His Majesty ex- pressed considorable surprise that .the Queen did not command Lord Tennyson to compose anode of welcome to him, especially as he is the first German emper- or who has visited England. Emperor William still finds hit knee troublesome. He has consequently resolved to take a rest at Kiel and to dis use with the usual reviews. As yet 1: e symptoms are not unfavorable, but he has been warned that a brief cessation of activity is absol- utely necessary.

It is understood that their is a com- plaint being made by some of the persons engaged in the mackerel business this year as shippers, that the result has not been so satisfactory as it was reasonable to expect. The run of fish they say was very large and the shipments to the States large and the fish arrived in good condition, but that owing to the opera- tions of American middlemen with whom the shippers here dealt, the profits were all made by the middle menand the ship- pers got left. That is the claim which is being made.--Exch.

Success to the Plan.

The extermination of the mosquito is again promised, this time by 3 French scientist and electrician. His apparatus is a large cage of closely interwoven wires, in the centre of which is:an incandescent lamp. The wires of the cage are connect- ed with a battery which keeps them charged. VVht-nihe cage is set at night in a place infested withgmosquitoes, they flock in swarms to the light, and. pass- ing between the wires. receive a shock which kills them instantly. The tiny sparks which flash out as each insect dies makes the region round and inside the cage a mass of scinti lating light, and In the morning bushels of dead mosquitoes can be swept up underneath. The plan will prove a. gold mine to the seaside towns which first adoptih
