LETTERS TO THE EDITOR, | has ied

Dear Sir,—In your paper of yesterday, April 2nd, I find the following paragraph :— i. ‘Phe younger sons of Peers are described in

the Eton School List as ‘Mr.’ while the names | of other boys are put down without any pre fix. Snobbery is rampant:t Eton.” | Laem netau Etonian; but, 1 may now, jin more ways than one, claim the title of (‘fan old Harrow fellow,— an Harrovian, that being the denomination of men educat- ed at Harrow-on-ihe-Hill, a great public school of quite as high standing as Eton. The eldest sons of Peers are legally and | s.rictly ‘‘Honorable Mr.” so andso; but in | courtesy are known by their father’s secon title, for instance: the eldest son of Earl Delawarr, ny schoolfellow and intimate friend, was known as Lord Cantilupe; his younger brother, with him at Harrow, as Mr. West. Theeldest son of the Earl of | Ve: ulam was “Lord Grimston;” tne younger ‘son Mr, Robert Grimston. The eldest son of the Karl of Radner was ‘‘Lord Folkstone;” the younger son was ‘‘Mr. Bouverie.’ These matters are clearly understood in civilized soviety. Im your paper «f April Ist, I find a paragraph, a transcrip’, stating as ‘‘very dreadful intelligence from Ottawa, that Lady Lansdowne sometimes pokes the fire, and brushes up the hearth, in the pre- sence of her guesis,’’ I believe that the writer of that Transcript said it, or wrote it, in joke. The only snobbery that I can see in those two paragraphs is the objection to young gentlemen bearing the names to which they are legally, or by courtesy, entitled; and in blaming the Marchioness of Lansdowne for doing that which any real lady, not a ‘‘Snobucrat” nor or ‘‘codfish aristocrat,” (vide your paragraph,) would do, without a moments hesitation, probably for her own amusement. The ladies and gentlemen, and ths nobility of England and Scotland, will not like to be robbed of their occupation and amusement as | have been, what would your correspondent, or Transcript writer, say to the Duch- ess of Bedford, the daughter of the Duke of Gordon, when in_ the Highlands of Scotland, sitting by the fire- side, twisting or twiddiling a string so as to roast a fowl! Highland cookery cunsisting almost entirely of boiling or stewing. The Duchess sat basting the said fowl from a bowl of broth, (eanaruich) at her Ducal feet. This fact.I know. J have known gentlemen of very high standing in Eng- land, who kept a cupboard of dry wood in their library, and lit their own fire, rather than ring the bell for a servant to do it. I read with pleasure that Mr. Gledstone has appointed, or will apppoint, a new member of the Government to superintend the affairs of Scotland, so that Scotland is onee more Scotland, and not merely a part of Britain. Once more the Scotch Greys and the noble 42nd regiment, the ‘old Highland Black Watch, may unite, as they did at Waterloo, in the cry of SCOTLAND FOR EVER!! I remain, Dear Sir, Your constant reader, Vicu, Duomnut NAN ORp, April 3, 1884. a —

Sirn,—A letter signed ‘‘Leyman,” which appeared in last Saturday's Examiver, contains a statement, or rather a suggestion, which 1s intended for a statement, that the legal profession have formed themselves into a society ‘‘tu veto or obstruct any legislation” they may disapprove of.

The statement is not true. Ata meeting of the Bar Society, called to discuss certain matters proposed by Dalhousie College relative to their Law School, the legal measures now before the Legislaiure were discussed and approved of, with the excep- tion of one proposed “reform.” This measure was intended to give to fraudulent and dishonest debtors the power to do business with their ill-gotten gains in their wives names.

The Jaw unfortunately cannot prevent unprincipled people from swindling their cred:tors, it cannot always prevent them from placing their spoils out of the reach of the arm of law. But it does not permit them to take their plunder and trade in their wives’ names, and bid defiance to the men they have swindled and wronged.

It was the failure to accomplish this purpose which makes ‘‘Layman’’ so very angry, and I am sure if ‘‘Layman” will sign his true name, the accuracy of my statement and the object of his motives will be evident.

The Washington Treaty and Reciprocity.

(Parliamentary Correspondence of the Mon- treal Gazette.)

On the motion to go into committee of supply a few evenings ago, Mr. Davies sub- mitted another amendment on behalf of his party, declaring that steps should be taken at once by the Government to secure a re- newal of the fishery clauses of the Washing- ton Treaty which expire on July Ist, 1885, and that on the commission to ariange the basis of a new treaty Canada should be represented by a Canadian. His speech was moderate in tone and not unduly pro- longed. He dwelt on the importance of the American market to the Canadian fishermen, the advantages that had resulted from the existing treaty, and the desira- bility, of avoiding international complica- tions that may arise if the old order of ihings is restored ous of the trespasses of American fishermen within the three mle from shore limitation. The amendment of Mr. Davies has served at least one good purpose. It has completely vindicated Sir John Macdonald from the aspersicns cast upon him in the past by the Liberal party, as that same party is to day willing to go on bended knees as a suppliant to the United States for a continuance of the privileges obtained by the Premier under the Wash- ington Treaty. As Mr. Hackett,who made an admirable reply to Mr. Davies, pointed ‘out, no condemnation was too severe to be

pss’ed upon Sir John by the Liberal party in

1872 In that year Mr. Mackenzie referred ito the treaty asa national wiong and degradation. Mr. Mills declered that it

would destroy the hopes and blast forever the prospects of this country, and Mr. Anglin was not satisfied to barter away our fis: ries for any such paltry price. Yet these san.e men, by their acts, proclaimed that they are willing to appeal as supplicants to Washinet n, tu take the risk of nation al ‘humiliation, in order to obtain an extension of those clauses of the Washington Treaty they so unhesitatingly twelve \yearsago. It is most unfortunate for jmany reasons that Mr. Davies should have

) condenmned

{brought forward his resolution § at |this time Nothing can be gein- ied by foreing the Government to

|take immediate and premature action. The }government is known to favor reciprccity of | trade with the United States and to cesire ja renewal of the fishery clause of the | Washginton Treaty, but it ought to have |been left to their discretion to select the

‘time and manner of seeckirg that con- summation through the Beitish Govern- ment, At present we can expect nothing

‘but a snub from the United Stater. There \1s absolutely no sign to warrant the expec- ,tation that the people of that country will ‘look with favor on any advances by Canada towards reciprocity of trade io fish or any jother natural product. President Arthur ventured to hint in his last message to Con- gress that the appointment of a commission to inquire into the expediency of renewing ‘(he expiring fishery clauses might be desir- jable. Yet not a solitary member of Con- jgress has deemed it worth while aeting on that suggestion, and the treatment of the Morrison tariff bili has confirmed the im- pression that no movement looking te re- ciprocity will be entertained by Congress. The Morrison tariff bill, it will be remem- bered, provides for the admission, free of duty, from Canada, of iron ores, salt, lum- ber, and coal, Yet, as Mr. Charlton admitted, there is not the remotest chance of the measure becoming law. Our ex- perience in attempting to secure reciprocity in the past might have deterred Mr. Davies from making his amendment. Every advance on the part of Canada has been repelled by the United Staces, and in the present state of public opinion in that country it is folly to expect any different result from an application for a renewal of the fishery clauses of the Washington Treaty. There cevld be no objection to the ventilation of the im- portance of our fisheries and the desir- ability of preserving the American market, but when it comes to a resolution declar- ing that Canada shall subjeet herself to another snub from the United States, it is a little too much. There ig yet another reason why a resolution calling for immediate action «n the part of our Gov- ernment is injudicious, A presidential election occurs in the United States this year,a change of cabinet will certainly occur, and it is possible that a change in the political character of the Government may be made. In that event.Canada might expect the United States to lend a more willing ear to the proposals for a renewal of reciprocity in fisheries, and in any event we ought to wait until the election is over

aud. a new cabinet installed before making overtures. Sir John Mce- Donald, who made the closing speech on the ministerial side, pointed out

that the American authorities are already acquainted with Canada’s desire to enter into reciprocity and renew the fishery clauses, ard that the adoption of the awso- lution would simply bring op Canada a rebuff given on more than one occasion in the past. The division was taken shortly before midnight and resulted in the rejec- tion of Mr. Davies amendment by a vote of 60 yeas to 105 nays. </>

Horsford’s Acid Phosphate IN SFASICKNESS.

Prof. Adolph Ott, New York, says: “I used it for seasickness, during an ocean passage. In most of the cases, the violeat symptoms which characterize that disease yielded, and gave way tea healthful action of the functions impaired,”

It has been decided by the Supreme Court of New York that the money which a widow receives 2s insurance on her hus- band’s life cannot be taken to satisfy debte incurred before her husband’s death. The case in which the decision was rendered was an attempt by the owner of a judgment thirteen years’ standing against a deceased hotel man to enjoin the widow from with- drawiug the insurance money from a bank in which she had deposited itp and the Comt held that an injunction must be denied. *‘This decisicn is spoken of asa new one, says the Shipping List, but it is cer- tainly a justand reasonable one; otherwise, the very purpese of insurance for the benefit of a family might easily be defeated.”

‘*A4 professional man with a good income” writes to an English paper that he has recently apprenticed his son, sixteen years old, to a builder. ‘Of course,” says the father, ‘‘he has to work at the bench and go outon jobs, but he is happy and his time wellemployed. When he is twenty- one he will have become master of his trade, and, being an educated lad and sharp to boot, a very few pounds would start him in one of the colonies on the high road to competency. The silly pride of parents he says, ‘‘is the chief drawback to their sons’ success in life.” »

The new water-works of New York city will coat from $25,000,000 to $30,000,000. A 250 foot dam in Westchester county, 35 miles from the city, will make a reservoir holding 58,000,000,000 gallons. The city uses 100,000,000 gallons daily.
