—A despatch from Quebec reports :
“The Montreal papers have net got the story of Mercier’s deal with Lang!ois quite As a matter of fact, Langlois re- ceived $85,000 and only delivered goode to the value of $11,000and these goods, which consisted mostly of ink, were delivered about tive days before the Mercier Govern- ment was turned out. The province willi now have to hold an auction sale of ink, for if left in stock, most of it will be dried up before it can possibly be used. One of.- ficial says there is enough to last 150 years The best legal authorities say that Mer. cier’s coutract with Langlois is as illegal aa it is outrageous
—The loose way in which the grit Goverr - ment of Quebec transected its business is illuatrated by the fact that some monthea ago Achille Carriar, M. P P., and a chum of Mercier’s made a draft on the accuuntant of the assembly for the full amount of his sessional allowance $800, expecting that the Legislature would ineet in December. The accountant accepted the draft after it had been evdoreed by Mercier’s provincial |
secretary, Charles Lanyelier, and it was discounted at the caisse D economic, Quebec. Now the legislature has been
diasolved without a meeting. Mr. Carrier will have no sessional allowance, and his friend Langelier must arrange the pay ment of the draft ia the best way he can It has caused a smile as broad as the vince.”
pre-
-—~-As the St. Johv Sun says :
“It ia qui'e unnecessary for Sir John Thompson to deny that he had made a cor- rupt bargain with the Connollys, in which it was agreed that the Connollys should help in the by-electious and the minister would dis- contiue proceedings against them. The charge was made by Mr. Preston, the grit campaiga organizer for the provirc- o Oatariv, and was given to the public at a public meeting in North Lanark. The story was intended to influence voters, but seems to have failed of its purpose. The people of Untario know something about Mr. Preston, They are learning something about the minister of justice. And the mera they know about both the less effective are any scandais that Mr. Preston can devise and circulate against Sic Joha Thompson. The Canadian department of justice does not keep a toll taker ”

Letter Frem Mr. Ferguson.
Sir,—If Mr. L. H. Davies felt that he | had come out of the recent election trial | with clean hands he would not show the
article in yesterday's Patriot.
The independent and intelligent electors £ Mount Siewart, Fort Augustus and Tracadie know exactly how much ground Mr. Davies has for jubilation, over hia escape in the election courts (on the pay- ment of costs) when they know that escape | was effected by testimony that ! Solomon ©. Clark was not an agent ot
Davies and Welsh at the late Dominion ‘lection.
The good people of Uigg, Vernon River and Grand View will form their own judg- ment of the ‘‘ moral victory” won by D.vies and Welzh, when they learn that these men hold cheir seats by virtue «f sworn testimony that John F. McLeod was not an accredited agent ct the Grit candi- dates.
I can understand that Mr. Davics is ao constituted that he is ‘‘lost in adm ration of the faithfulness and loyally” of the ‘good men” who had such very bad mem- ories on the witness stand. who appeared, indeed, to have no distincr recollection. of anything that occurred during the cam- paign, except that Solomon C Claike and Jubn F. McLeod were nor actively work- ing for Davies & Welsh. Mr. Davies’ friend, Count Mercier, has, | believe, expressed a like admiration for Mr. Ernest Pacaud.
It would, perhap:, be just es well for Mr. Davies if he did not waste so much sound and fury about what he calls a ‘‘sale of the petition.” He appears to forget, in his pass‘on, that where there ie « sale there must be a buyer as well as a seller. Ii his statement is true that we ‘‘sold the pe- tition,” then he must have beught it, and he is not only guilty of winning his «lection by corrupt meana, but of evading just pun- ishment by a further act cf bribery !
The prowoters of the petition and their counsel vere induced to consent to a settle- ment from their experience ef the **good men” for whom Mr. Davies has auch a “profound admiration.” Considerirg that sworn testimony had been given t» justify the Judges in deciding that John F. Me- Leod and Svlomon C. Clarke were not recognized workers for Davies and Welsh, it would be fi liy to measure, in anticipa- tion, the length to which the *tgood men” might go {in the untried charges) in swear- ing away «#!! connection between the bribes and the candidates Hundreds of corrup' acts could be eas ly proved, and yet, failing to establish such agency as the Judges re- quired—which, in fact, could scarcely be doue except by direct admission—the peti- tion mizht be dismissed with costs. It was this consideration that induced the pro- moters of the petition to accept the cffer of Mr, Davies to pay their costs as well as his own, and drop the petition.
But what shall we say of Messrs. |. H. Davies and William Welsh holding their seats in Parliament on terms like this? If it be true, as etated by Mr. Davies, that Welsh and himself could be 1:eturned by a m:jority of 1590 votes, they must surely have something more to fear than mere voidance of their seats, or they would not eo ewgerly undertake to pay the petition costs.
I have little doubt that the are in their turn ‘‘lost in admiration” of Mr. Davies’ mendaciy and vitrperati n Perh=ps the good peopie will permit me to re- mind them that fa:sehuod ard abueive lan- guage sre only favorite weap ns with those whose psssiong are stronger than their judg- ments and who are not endowed with the gift of expressing their thoughts in words of truth and soberness. Lam, yours, &c.,

Saivation Army. A very interesting meeting was held io the Salvation A:my Barra ks last night cenducted by Sergt. Major Florrie Anderson, leader of the Junior Soldiers Corps, Ati p. m. the junior soldiers agsembicd in the large hall where they were sach pre- sented with a bag, containg cake, candies, apples, etc. At 7 3) a procession was formed and about forty little soldiers, boys and girls, accompanied by a few of the older soldiers, marched out in the open air singing a variety of choiuses. Ou returning to the barracks, the children and their officers alone occupied the platform where they sang some beautiful solos and choruses and recited verses of Scripture. Altogether, the Salvation Army platform last night presented a beautiful appearance and the large audience went away highly gratified and profited by the meeting—and we trust lasting good was done. Probably many who attended the meeting did not know that in the S. Army great pains are taken with the children, and there is a regular system of Scriptural teaching end training going on every Sabbath afternoon in the barracks. Many children have been already saved and give evidence in their lives that they belong to Christ. One little girl, between eight and nine years of age, died a triumphant desth a few weeks ego. She was a little soldier. To God be ail the glory. One Wao Was-Turre.

OR THE LAST MONTH we have been advertising Fancy Holiday Goods, and that truthful advertising pays bas been made apparent by our largely increased sales fur the month of December. We are now going to say a few words about
