in Chicago, and whose utterances, by the

m the subject of the finances of the Do-

minion Here is what it says:

‘Some of our contemporaries in this country have recently had a good deal to say about the Canadian national debt. One would infer criticisms that the Dominion is in a and that investors in her securities have very little chance of making her toe the mark when her paper matures. Yet Canad,’s eredit abroad is excellent. For vs, knowing her immense resour- ees and the character of her people, are

y perfectly content to await the fruition of toeir investments without discount-

from thei bad way financially;

and India third—Canada being, it may be

added, a very close fourth

The Canadian-American follows up these Mail of public

remarks by quoting the Toronto

June, 1886, to prove that the

debt of Canada is just six per cent. of the

An east wind, with snow and rain, made the town put on its most unattractive aspect, and must have repelled many in-

We are not the Canadian-A benedict, but atany rate he appears to

las any we had seen.

There were several small herds of splendid cattle in the stock- yard.

" Heretofore we had seen nothing but shorthorns and shorthorn grades. Here we found, in addition, a small but fine herd of black polled cattle. Several year ling heifers of this breed were pointed out tu me—fat and large, though their owner assured me that they had never been inside a stable.

The early fecundity of horses and cattle here is remarkable. At Qu'Appelle 1 was shown an interesting family of the horse kind, comprising grandmother, mother, a yearling and two foals (five in all), the eld- est of which was only five years of age ; and at Moosejaw a heifer was pointed out which had dropped a calf when only fifteen months old. It is not unusual, | was told,

| for large, lusty young cattle to bring forth

in their second year.

Moosejaw is a “ divisional station” of the C. P. R., and has a population of about 600. It. is the station for the Wood Moun- tain and other districts southward, where coal is said to be abundant, and where herds of cattle range. Consequently it is a place of yreat expectations. The prairie surrounding it is rolling and rich.

The Moosejawers gave a public dinner on the evening of the show—the last of the

‘The development of Liberal strength in the constituency has alarmed Conservative managers, and they are at theic wits end to devise means to retain the seat.”

Not content with simply going to Ottawa once a year, he mixes freely with the people during the recess of Parliament, attends their fairs, hears their complaints, becomes conversant with their opinions on matters of public importance, and is thus enabled to give expression to their views and tourge with force the adoption of measures calculated to advance their inter- ests and to meet their approval.

ON TO CALGARY.

From Moosejaw we _ hastened = on to Calgary, passing by a num ber of lakes, the resort of

wild ducks, wild geese and other feathered game; passing large quantities of coal (ready for transport) at Dunmure, which is the starting point of the Northwest coal and Navigation Company's Railway westward to Lethbridge where the coal mine is; passing Medicine Hat, in the neighborhood of which there are large areas of coal and iron, where we met two young Islanders — Mr. T. Fleigher and Miss Whitlock; passing Langevin on the Division Line between As- sinibvia and Alberta, where there are wells of natural gas,

The prairie, all along the line, is not flat, but ** rolls in the beautiful low swelling in- dulations, touching the sky line in graceful curves in one place and falling gently down to the horizon in another.”

All of it is arab'e, but much of it seem- ed te be unworthy of cultivation, while mil- lions of acres of first-class land remains to be tilled. The soil in many places is light and sandy, and at some points we saw un- mistakable evidences of the presence of too much alkali.

Here and there we saw feeding on the short grayish-brown prairie grass, small binds of horses and cattle; and a large part of this section of the great prairie will probably, in this way be turned to good ac- count for many years te come.

We arrived at Calgary late in the night and put up at The Royal—a house which boasts of seventy rooms--not a bad sized house for a t wn of four years.

Qur first duty, in the morning, was to get sight of the distant Rockies. It was easy to see their peaks away-to the west and southwest—sharply defined in the

There is room on the site of Calgary fora large city; and that is what its present inhabitants intend that it shall be. They already communicate with one another by means of the telephone, and read their newspapers every eveni g under the electric light. Next year they are to have waterworks. Several of their stores and residences are of stone quarried in the neighborhood —snbstantial and. permanent.

Calgary is the capital of Alberta—a post of the mounted police, and headquarters for the ranchers. Its water power is inexhaustible and may easily be drawn on to any extent.

Thanks to the courtesy of Mr. Rowe, of the Government Land Oftice, and Mr. Jackson, lately of the Northwest Council, we enjoyed a very pleasant drive around its wide and picturesque borders.

which was fully caoral, was conducted by the Rev. G. Gardiner. The bride’s dress, a masterpiece of the dressmaker’s art, was of white faille Francaise and white pine? the corsage being trimmed with handsome pearl embroidery. The long tulle veil ws arranged in the new fashion with a small spray of bridal flowers. The bride also wore orna- ments of plain gold, and carried a splendid boquet. The bridesmaids, who wore gold bangles, the gift of the bridegroom, were at- tired in dresses of cream China silk, trimmed

ith Valenciennes lace, with bronze-beaded cpaul ud velvet ribbons and velvet beaded bonnets to match. The bride’s travelling dress was of fine blue serge, made with a Breton jacket over a silk blouse, with antique silver ornaments. Al] the dresses, it should be mentioned, were made by Mrs. Hailing, the well-known modiste of Montpellier. The bridesmaids were Miss Isabel Sanders, and Miss Helen Sanders, sisters of the bride, and Miss Finn, the bridegroom's sister, and they carried lovely boquets of flowers. The bride- groom's best man was Mr. Harry L. Churchill, H. B. M. Vice-Consul at Zanzibar, the bride being given away by her brother, Mr. Archibald Sanders. Laterin the afternoon the bride and bridegroom left for Leamington, where they cid to spend the honeymoon. The wedding cake and refreshments were supplied by Mr. Locke, of Clarence Street.— Gloucestershire Echo, Sept. 30.

The Miss Mary Margaret Sanders above referred to, is the grand-daughter of the late Honorable James Yeo, of Port Hill, and neice of the Honorable John Yeo, of the same place.

**In the Midst of Life,” &e.

On Friday last Samuel Baker, riding on a coal car on his way to work at Back Mine, N. S., was instantly killed by being thrown off and crushed beneath the car. He belonged to Cariboo, where bis family is living.

Says the Pictou Standard: The eldest danghter of Councillor James McKay, of Lorne, had been sick for some time, and dur- ing her illness was in the habit of taking beef, iron and wine. Qa Wednesday last Mrs. McKay went to the cupboard to get some of the medicine for her daughter, but instead: of giving her beef, iron and wine, made a mis- take and took carbolic acid from the shelf. The daughter lived only 30 hours afterwards.

William Walsh, a farmer residing a mile and a half west of Lucan, Ont., while going home from the village one evening last week, accidentally fell into a cattle guard, and, being somewhat stunned by the fall, raised his head above the level of the guard just as the mixed train from the west was passing, when it completely severed the head, killing him instantly.

No less than four sudden deaths have just occurred in Moatreai. Mr. Boucher, who was injured on the wharf on Friday night, suc- cumbed suddenly on Monday, Joseph Cou!- tee, who worked at Samoureat’s factory, sad- denly felt unwell and was taken to the hospi tal, where he diedintwo hours. Dr. F. Du. fort, aged 46 years, dropped dead in his lava- tory. A Miss Morris was dressed to go out for a walk when she complained of an acute pain in her head, and upon being taken to her room expired in « few minutes.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.

The Scott Act Trials.

Sir,—Yesterday the Megistrate’s Court was crowded to its utmost to witness the eleven Scott Act cases up for trial. It was known the day before that a red letter day had come and public interest became unusually excited. I have always raised my voice in the interests of true temperance, and hope to continue to do so as long as llive. But from what I witnessed in the court room yesterday 1 am more firmly convinced than ever that the Scott Act can never make a people sober. Our streets are filled with diunkards and our people can get all the liquor they require even though the Scott Act be vigorously en- forced. et in the face of this deplorable condition of things, we find men ready and willing so defend and support a useless en- actment which never can suppress or mitigate the evil influences of over- indulgence inthe use of intoxicants. Law can never dothis. A higher morality, a deeper insight of the weaknesses of humanity, a firm conviction of the physical and moral rnin which follows inthe wake of dranken- ness, can alone rid the land of the degrading and baneful effects of drunkenness. Mr. Donald L. McLeod, a witness in one of the cases yesterday before the court, testified on oath that he never had purchased any liquor from the accused, and that he believed he had been brought before the court out of pure malice. When this testimony had been given the spectators heartily and loudly applauded (a thing very unusual in our courts). This applause plainly indicated that the feelings of

the people were in opposition to the Act, and went to prove that the indiscriminate summoning of persons

to the court by a gullible prosecutor wa8 not to be tolerated by a justice-loving people. A more wretched and contemptible attempt to obtain convictions was never made ina Brit- ish court. The munificent sum of fifty cents was given by the prosecutor to Terry McAttee for the purpose of inducing Terry to give him the names of persons who had purchased liquor in a house on Water Street. Terry gave names in profusion, and without diseri- mination. On this very incorrect data the prosecutor based his allegation. A summons
