I am aware that Mr. Rogers’ knowl- edge of public affairs is most superficial; but, I believe he made this statement know- ing it to be false, and thinking it might pass uncontradicted, hoping, no doubt, to thereby divert public attention from his own inconsistent and treacherous condnet. He may have his own views with regard to what constitutes the duty of an independ- ent representative, but the public man who states that his votes are given from expedi- ency on questions affecting the interests of a large body ot his constituents, has, to say the least, very loose ideas of public moral- ity. I remain,
Yours truly, KE. Hacker. Ottawa, 24th March, 1882.
To the Editor of the Examiner.
Str,— Allow me space in your journal to let the public know the neglect of duty of officials with regard to a contract given last summer on Rocky Point wharf, which was to be finished early in the shipping season. Through neglect it was not till the close of the navigation the work was finished, and before two days had passed the spans fell. Why was it not until the spring, when it could be built substantially and not on the ice ?
Yours truly, REsIDENT. March 31, 1882.
Why Printers are Cynical.
The other day I stood within the com. posing room of a great daily newspaper. iThere was nothing to delight the eye—no | pictures, statues, or sumptuous furniture. / Serious-looking men were standing before their cases so fixedly that nothing less than the falling of the roof would have dis- tracted their attention. Scarcely a sound was audible, but the faint click of type falling into place. I never before realized so forcibly the cause why newspaper print- ers are, it is said, naturally cynical. To-day they set up the type that tells the words of rejoicings and fes- tivity, to-morrow the sanie type is made to prociaim disaster and mourning; the same type which carries to 10,000 homes the inaugural message of the ruler of 50,- 000,000 of people has not time to lose its sharpness by use before it is employed to report the funeral oration in the Capitol in ithe memory of the same man. The moment ary contraction of the forefinger of a des- picable wretch levels exalted hopes, and robes the whoie civilized world in sable. Ii there be a spot on earth where the insta- bility of human affairs is epitomized hourly, it is the composing room of a daily news-
paper.
The St. John Telegraph makes Mr. Blake a present of the following statement:—
‘*Had the late Government remained in power no one can doubt that far greater pro- gress would have been made in the North- West than exists to-day. The British Colum- bia section of the railway would have alse been Surther advanced by a year or more.”
way bitterly opposed by Mr. Blake could have been hastened to completion by his coming into power-—unless he is dishonest in his present denunciations—or unless he was to have been excluded from the Grit Cabinet.—Toronto Mail.

The Khedive is very much under petti- coat government, his wife, Princess Kafi da Hanem, having a strong mind anda stout temper.

The German Emperor replied to the Czar’s congratulations as foilows:—*"*Accept for yourself and the Empress my most heart-felt thanks for your kind wishes. Every word of yours has found a lively re- sponse in my grateful heart. [I beseech the Almighty to bless your reign, and to make it conducive to the welfare of your people jand the strengthening of the peace of Europe.”

A novel feature of European immigration is reported, A steamer from Havre, which arrived at New York the other day, had on board eight larga bears, brought by a party of French labsring mea, who had caught them inthe Pyrenees.. The bears. are to be taken West, where they wil! be put to the drawing of egricultural vehicles, and the performance of other farm work, As the animals passed up .Broadway, the ‘*bears” of Wall street rushed out to take a look at them.
The number of Chinese in the United States will have great advantage from the prohibision of further importation. In the tirst place, they will probably not suffer so much from persecution. la the next place, they will have the benvfit of a steady and good rate of wages. In 1860 there were 34,933 Chinese in the United States ; in 1870 the number was 62,736 ; at the end of 1876 the number was calculated at 104.731 ; in the last census the number is given at 105.488. Since 1876 it thus ap- pears that the number has not increased. But the number of those who come for short periods and go away igain is great ; from 1870 to 1876 the departures were 36,684. .
The dense fogs of London seriously affect the health of that city, and are especially fatal to persons of advanced years. The mortality rate for the week ending Fe)ru- ary 20th, was 2,632, or 35.3 per 1,000. The annual death rate from all causes for the three preceding weeks was 22.8, 26.4 and 27.1 per 1,000. The. city has been enveloped in a dense fog during the greater part of the third week in February and the deaths caused by diseases of the respiratory organs rose .o 994, of which 696 were attributed to bronchitis and 185 to pneu- monia. The quality of the Thames water, supplied by the water companies, Was con- siderably below the standard, aad the same was the case with all the other sources of water supply.
The feeling against foreigners in Russia is continually growing, and high officials do not hesitate to express their anti-foreign opinions. Ata mecting held in Moscow, on the 22nd of last month, General Baran- off, formerly Prefect of St. Petersburg, and at present Governor of Archangel, delivered an eloquent speech upon the de- eay of Russian commerce. He contended that the commerce was stifled by foreigners in the enjoyinent of excessive privileges. The forests also were worked by officials aided by foreign capital. The speaker ex+ pressed the opinion that the remedy for the present state of affairs would be to grant privileges to Russians to construct the Dwina Kasan Railway, to increase the number of steamers, and to make Govern- j}ment grants to seamen’s schools. The speech was received by the meeting with enthusiastic applause. General Baranoff was to leave for St. Petersburg in a few days to submit his views to the Gvvern- ment.
The change which has taken place in 'France in the relations of the cultivated classes in questions of religion, since the | Republic displaced the empire of Napoleon | L{l., was made manifest the other day when Jules Simon’s motion that children in the schools be taught their duty towards God, and towards their country, was re- i jected by a vote of 167 to 123. Notwith- letanding the care which has been taken of | late to extend the advantages of edacation to all classes of the people, it is calculated | that there are still twenty-two per cent. of
We fail to understand how a section of rail-| the children who might be attending school
