Itexists forthe purpose of checking ill-eonsidered measures, such as the Yukon contract certainly was. Last year it threw out the Drummond Railway bill and saved the country—on the admis— aion of the Minister of Railways, himself, —close upon a million of dollars. It has pat its foot upon several other “ deala ” of a like kind, saving the country incalculs able expense. {n the prevent case, it has saved four or acres of minera] producing lands and it has avoided aa intervational difficul’y with the United States—io which the United States weuid have been placed atagreat advantage. What it has lost is a mere bagatelle in tte comparison. At the worst it has lost, for a few months, the conatruction of a bun- dred and fifty miles of tramway on the road to Klondike. But we have no doubt that the needed tramway or railway will be constructed in good time—unlees the bottom shall fall out of the Klondike boom more quickly than is anticipated. As in the case of the Drummond extension, the Government will

Even now there is before Parlia. meéenita measure which provides for the construction of the needed railway without

cost to the country in respect to either land = or money. Under | these circumstances there ought

to be no difficulty in at once con- cluding another bargain and having the needed railway “go right along.” In the meantime, the Government and their pets have learned that the Senste is always to be reckoned with and that they must not make bargains creating gigantic land monopolies and involving the country in international squabbles.

The action of the Senate isthe more satisfactory in view of the means adopted by the Government’s agents and the agents of McKenzie and Mann. The Senate was ‘ireatened with annihilation, the Senate was coaxed, and it is hinted that personal indugements were beld out to individual Conservative Senators if only they would be false to their duty to the country and vote for the contract. wae vain,

When I visited Eugland iv 1869 ’70, I was told thatthe most disagreeable thing [ shoud meet wsbroad would be “the disagreeable Englisbman.”

Ju first—secoud—and third class cars and elsewhere I was constantly looking for “the disagreeable Englishman.” I was received everywhere with kindness— from Lord Harrowby of the Queen’s Privy Couucil [one of the ncblest menI ever met] —Field-Marshal Sir Jobn Burgoyne—the Baroness Burdett-Coutts—the Lord Bishop of Gloucester and Bristol, &., &c., down to the cab-drivers.

For instance a London stationer, at whose shop I called one day to buy adiary, finding I was ad American told me how much he thought of my country, insisted upon presenting me with the diary, and would take no pay.

This was only one of many kindnuesses I met with. I never found “the disagreeable Englishman” until after several months’ travel I met two of them at my Rotterdam hotel, but before leaving the hotel Ijfound that they were only pretending to be Eng- lishmen and were really both Americans.

The last letter I wrote before leaving England, as will be found on paga 37 of my Autobiographical Sketches, contained this.

“For the past few weeke I have been mingling constantly with the men, women aod children of the great middling classes, who compose the body of England and Scotiand. I have found them orderly, law-abiding, ready todo kindness, express- ing kind feelings towards our country,
