In connection witn Her Excellency’s addreas in the Opera House we wish to correct the impression which prevails to the effect that the address is to te delivered to women only. The fact is that gentlemen as well as Jadies will be welcome, although all the centre front seats will be reserved for ladies. Her Ladyship’s popularity and well known power of oratory, added to His Excellency’s presence, will, in all probability, call forth a very large number of the people of both town and country, many of whom will he pleased to have an opportunity of being publicly presented to the distinguished visitors,

George Stanley, who is mining in Elorado Creek in the Yukon, writes to his father in Seartle that claims owned by his father and partner Warder, on Eldorado Creek will pan out haifa million in gold nuggets this coming winter. The letter predicts that claims on Bear Creek will turn out as rich as those on Bonanza and Eldorado creeks, the pans averaging five dollars each. Stanley aleo writes that the Canadian Government is exacting a roy- alty of twenty-five cents per cord on wood to be used in thawing the gravel this winter. A similiarcharge is also made for logs used in building cabins for the miners. During the summer forest fires have destroyed a large amount of cord- wood.

elitorvally :

reports “The advertisement soliciting tenders for straightening the carves on the P. E. f. railway at North Wiltshire was cancelled,

because the time would not allow the work |

to be commenced this autumn. On Sir Louis Davies’ recommerdation, the minister of railways consented to the department doing the work instead of by tender.

The Halifax Herald thinks this is not remarkable seeing that Mr. Blair has practically abolished the tender and

contract system over all the railways he is mismanaging. A family grit complaint vsed to be thatthe I. GC. R. was run as a party machine. We wonder what they think of it now. Itis not even a party machine now, but a machine for grinding out patronage to Mr. Blair’s personal fol- lowers, and that w.thout tender or com pe- tition.

—The politica] morality of some of the Liberal papers is still far below even that ofsome of Sir Wilfrid’s most iniquiious colleagues, remarks the Mail and Empire. The Truro N, 8. Times-Guardian is aa example, it recently having administered a severe rebuke to Mr Truro, a good Liberal, who had the an- dacity to write aletter in wh'ch he contend- ed that the spoils sy-tem waa so nething towhichthe party shoud not descend. The rebuke is as follows : “ To Mr. Hamiltoo we dare to say, and to all others we declare, that we are uot distyrbed by bisdiatribes. And as for princip’es and as for small politics, both ean go together. Of the former quantum suff, of the latter just encugh, tor fear we my be too good
