London and Quebec Wes!

Vierorizs for the Government are re- ported from both these constituencies.

In Loudon at the general election in March last the Liberal candicate was elect- ed by a majority of 185. Now, the Con- servative candidate is elected by a majority of 107. Thus, the candidates being the saine gentlemen, there has been 4 change in London of 290 votes in favor of the Govern-

ment.

Time —a short time—has ‘given the Hon. Mr. Carling his revenge. Previous to the election of yesterday, Mr. Cariing issued a manifzato the electors in which he said :—

“The cardinal principles to which the Lib- eral Conservative party are committed are

these :— i a 1. Canada and Canadianindustry the first

consideration. .

2. The sapport and encouragement of Can- adiag manufactures by the imposition of such duties eo importations as will afford reason- able protection to our howe industries, pro- viding a home market for farm products andl assist in building them up, while having | due regard to the necessities of the public re-

venue. : 4. Extending or commercial inteftoouree

with all other countries upon fair and reason- able terms, but ne discriminating duties sgainat the Mother Cae a : 4. The maintenance of British connection + To encourage by every reasonable means

the settlement of the vast and fertile regions uf the Northwest. ;

6. The adoption of fair and reasonable pro- tection to farm products, the encouragement of every practicable improvement in our sys" tem of agriculture, and the ——— of all available means for the development of our great nataral resources. ;

7. The continued reprobation of dishonest practices in pablic affairs and the puaishinent of teandgressers, be they who they may.

Mr. Carling is to be congratulated upon hus great triamph—the more that he has vaiaed it while standing upon a platform, patriotic apd sensible, such as this

in Quebee West,Mr. Hearn has taken the place of Mr. Thomas McGreevy, his ma- jority being 400, white that of Mr. Me- (ireevy was only 53; so that there has been a Liberal-Conservative gain in this con- stituency of 347 votes.

Every bye-election held this week and last week has resulted favorably to the Government, and no less than four seats have within the fortnight been taken from the Opposition and given to the Govern- ment. ‘To say that all these great and not- able victories of the Liberal-Conservative party are due to bribery and corruption on the part of the Liberal-Conservatives is to say that which is ridiculous, as well as falsd and slanderoas. The Toronto Globe, received yesterday, deciares that

“The Province of Oatario has been most fortunate in the class of men and women by

whom it was settled. They come from the vid world for the pos part ene poe of

ind, ead, having energy, intelligence and Gareher, they manifested from tae first an aptitude for self-government which boded well for the future state whose foundations they !sid.”

Ic is not possible that hundreds upon hundreds of electors of the character here described can have been ‘‘ bought up” by the Government. Tie assertions ofthe Patriot and other Grit organs in explana- tion of the results of the bye-elections are merely wild, foolish and untruthfal. ‘Unrestricted Reciprocity” and political corruption and hypocrisy uninasked, on the part of the (pposition; and a patriotic National Policy with plain, business-! ke methods of administration, on the part of Mr. Abbott,—these are the causes of the splendid results cf the bye-elections.

To the present date there have been,

seats,

Uf these the Liberal-Conservatives have taken irom the Opposition nine sets, and ‘he Grits have taken from the Government one seat,—which was not, however, filled uring last session.

Altogether the Government majority has been increased by eighteenseats as a result of the campaign of election petitions opened by the Opposition.

And the end is not yet !

—An English paper recently had an article on Jehu humor. The writer says that on one occasion he heard the driver of the prison van known as Black Maria dis- tinguish himself. A would-be wit, on the causeway, hailed him, ‘Got any room ic- side, Robert?’ ‘‘There's room for one,” answered the driver, ‘‘we kept it for you.” Net entirely disconcerted, the wit made another shot. ‘What's your fare?” he asked. The answer entirely extinguished — : “Bread and water, same as you had he ore ;

f Reverence.

THe discussion which took placa im re spect tothe art loan exhibition (so-called) has apparently sabsided. Yet it ought to auggest some taoughts about the larger topic of reverence. At first sight this sub- ject may seem to be of net :nach import- ance. But-.on reflection it will be seer, clearly enough, that it refers to a quality in humanity, lacking which there can be no true goodness nor true greatness. For reverence is a feeling the possession of which proves that there is an appreciation of goodness and greatness, the want of which proves there is no appreciation, and, therefore no capability. We cannot be that which we cannot comprehend or estimate. It is not possible to conceive that a man who would stand unmoved while aa heroic deed was being done before him could be hero. Neither is it possible to imagine a great and good mau who-could be perfectly unconcerned in any place or position sug-

gestive of the greatness and good- ness of others. How natural it is for a man of JMiterary§ in

stinct to take cff his hat when he enters a library, suggestive of the wisa and great by whom the various volumes were camposed. How natural for the saldier to be impressed whiie atanding by ‘he statue of a great war- rier, for the artiat to feel subdued while contemplating the masterpieces in a great picture gallery ‘ Nor can we imagine a true believer in God, « sincere Christian, enter- ing the House of Gol with his hat on his head and j king or gossiping easily in the place where prayer snd praise is wont to be

made Carlyle made his grcat Teufeladroch to say that here i¢. inh man

a indestructible RKeverence for whatever holds of Heaven, or even plausibly counterfeits such holding.” Bat reverence to much stronger feéiing in acd communities than in others. The Jews, the Greeks and Romans, the Germans and Hnglish—in fact, all great

qaite

seems be wu

some nations

peoples, have been reverent. Reverence is wholesome, though pushed too far it be- comes superstition. But the people of the United States and Canada are not likely to be superstitious. Their weakness is shown ~—as Matthew Arnold testified when he was in Ottawa a few years ago—in the lack of reverence. in Arnold's judgement this is their ‘‘ greatest weakness ’’—a weakness which will prevent their growth to any great height of greatness and goodness.

Trade With Jamaica.

-

Twat the Canad Sian exhibits from the different provinces of the Dominion, sent to the Jamaica Exhibition list year, have been powertul factors in developing trade * yrowing a

relations and ia showing that

trade between Canada and Jamaica on firm and profitable basis can be estab- are facts

An articie

lished between these countries, now universally admitted. on this subject, which appears in the Journal of Commerce oftheT$ch February, inst., gives interesting information relating to of Canadian shipments to Jamaica, that their quality is

this matter. It is reported equal, and in most cases superior to goods from elsewhere, that the peuple are pleased with them. Moreover, there isa kindly

feeling towards Canada an’? contidence in Canadian geods. Such testimonials, fuv- orable tu Cauadian products,ehave, it ap- pears, lel t» groas imposition, as United States importers have placed cu sale, butter, cheese, &:., fraudulently marked “Canadian,” which were found to be “vile in quality.” Still it appears that **Quashie’’—the poor native—will have

cheap go01s regardless of quality, and that this trade is certain to be monopolizad by

the States, as Canada cannot ¢ mpete in “shady” gools—nor will she stoop to ** shady j tricks of tra le, such Aas

making

te

American grease, or oleomargarine, good Canadian butter.”

The writer, among other important state- ments, says that it is absolutely necessary for all Canadian merchants and manufactur- ers who desira to export goods to Jamaica, and also these whe desire to import goody from Jamaica, to enter into some agreement or understanding somewhat in the nature of a joint stock company. This, be says, is necessary, first, in order to bring influ- ence to bear cn railway freights both ways ; second, to bring the same influence to bear on steamship rates both ways ; aud, third, to dispose of the goods in Jamaica az] ar- range for return cargoes. For, he affirms, the business in Jamaica must be carried on under some co-operative scheme, such as storehouses with sample rooms established in Kingstoa, and known as the Canadian House,—all under the management of one man who knows the country and the people and their business methods. With such an establishment in Kingston, under efiicient management, ‘‘a large, a profit- able, and a growing trade can be established between Canada and Jamaica.” The cor- respondent of the Journal of Commerce on this important subject is a Canadian, who is anxious to serve his native land by assist- ing her to develop a thriving trade with the West ladies, and who will gladly respond to enquiries in reference thereto.

Russia has apologized for the conduct of its subjects towards British soldiers in the Pamir region. The diplomatic proceedings leading up to this result have not been ac- companied by much public noise and blus-

ter. And yet Russia is a bigger nation than Chili.

he appears in Ontario. Gazette remarks that acc rding to the elec- tion returns, his candidat :a, wherever they appear, receive the enthu -iastic disapproval of the same people- Th» lesson is plain. The Jonah Globe, Jonal Cartwright and Jonah Wiman’s trade pol.cy are too much for the popularity of the Liberal chief.” |

—Yoronto Globe: W:: (the people of | Ontario) have had now a «quarter of century of the une chamber, and all parties agree that it has worked admi ably. No better evidence of this is required than the fact that our statutes have tecome the model forall the other provi: ces. Legislation has been steadily progres ive, and so care- fully has it been framed tl at not more than half a dozen measures hav > been dissliowed since the tirst year of Co: federation. Gur institutions, too, are de:med worthy of study aud imitation, not only in the other provinces, but in neighboring States; and in all watters of public policy it may be ssid that the Government of Ontario is an exemplar to the commonw ealths of the coa- tinent.

— The Empire, commenting upon the Government victory in W.et Huron :

“Such a victory is a mag tilicent testimony tothe prowess of the Li jeral-Conservative party. It speakes in clarion tones of the powerfal hold which the Li seral-Conservative cause and government have upon the country. It ia a standing monument :o the pluck, force and ability of the bold and sgacious politician who scored 80 noble a success for his party, whe has enhanced to a marked degree the atrength and prestige of the ministry and who has covered himself with glory. It is net often that so hard a fiizht is voluntarily undertaken hy a minister of the crown. It is seldom that one secures so complete a victory and whips so formidable an opponent and the hearty congratulations of Liberal- Conservatives from one end of the country to the other will be offered to the victor who signalizes his entrance to the cabinet by such a solid piece of success. The poiitical consequences of the victory are striking and momentous. It adda to tue *lready large ministerial majority, it restores to the House of Commons a young and vigorous rember of the Liberal-Conservative p.rty, and it in- creases the tactical skill and debating strength of the cabinet in the popuiar chamber. lts moral effect upon the coming by-elections, especially in London, must bs considerable. It drives another long and sharp nail into the coflin of the opposition hopes and chances.”

Another Stable Fire.

BADLY GUTTED AND CONTENTS DESTROYED.

About half-past ten o'clock this morning the alarm sounded for a fire in a stable owned by Richard Heariz, Esq., and sit- uated in the rear of his residence on Great George Street. Tue fire was wel! under way when discovered, and it is not known how it started.

The first intimation Mr. Heartz had of the fire was hearing some one cry out on the street. He ran outside to the corner of the street tosee where the fire was, and his bookkeeper, Mr. Stumbles, went out through the dwelling in the rear of the ol- tice with the same object in view. They soon saw where it was, and with some others at once made an effort to save the cattle and horses in the burning building. But their efforts were futile. in the atable had evident!y-beeh burning for some-tims, aaa it was impossible for testi to work their way through the denae smoke and flames to where the animals were. So they had to abandon the attempt at rescue, and leave the poor brutes to their fate.

The firemen were on the scene as quickly as possible after getting the alarm, and did all intheir power to extinguish the fire, which was «a hard one to fight as it was nearly all amongst the hay and straw. But they stuck to their work well, and, thanks to their efforts and the plentiful supply of water, the fire was socn brought under contrul and finally ex- tinguished. Had the fire ovcurred in the old ** tank days we would likely have an- other and far different story to tell to-day. Instead of being confined to the building in which it started, the fire would likel have spread over a large territory and eae valuable property would have been de- stroyed.

The building in which the fire occurred was used asa stable and coach house. It extended from Sidney Street through to the rear of the Y. M. C. A. building—the best part of a block. The stable was at the Sidney street end, and the coach house at the other. The fire was in the stable. The coach house was not damaged, and its contents were saved. The stable, how- ever, was not so fortunate. It was badly gutted—practically destroyed. Two valu- able Holstein cows and a heifer snd a valuable horse were cremated. The hay, straw, oats, ete., in the stable also came to grief. What was not destroyed was badly damaged. Mr. Heartz usualiy kept two horses.in the stable, but the man-servant had left for the farm with one of them some time before the fire. Had the two horses been in the stable both would have been destroyed. The building was insured for $300 in one of the companies represented by Mr. F. W. Hysdman. Mr. Heartz has no idea how the fire started.

After the fire was extiuguished the firemen were furnished with refreshments by Mr, and Mrs. Heartz.

BUILDING

A + Ottawa Items.

Tbe weather has been of the specics which used to make up a Canadian winter of ‘tye olden times” since Ist inst., the thermometer marking 20° below zero on several occasions, with numerous snowfalls. Now it is very mild and with scarcely any frost.

The winter horse races, the bye-elec.ions and the Quebec Proviacial campaign have tided us well over the dull spell that gen- eraily precedes the opening of parliament.

A few days ago ago Ex-Premier Mercier attended a very large meeting lately in the city of Hull, where things appear to be greatly changed. The Ottawa county and city of Hull formed in the past one of the strongest Mercier constituencies in Quebec. It is not 80 _now.
