The Serator, it i« thougut, would be persona grata to all the factions, and wonld be able to bring about a rco - ciliaticn by removing from the pit the chief bene of contention. The idea is that by making Mr. Pelletier lientenant governor an honarable and dignified pos~ ition (the speakership of the Senate) could be offered to Sir Henri Joly de Lotbiniere, | and a wey opened for the entry into the Cabinet of a representative more sym- pathetic towards the active workers of the party, and more free in the distribution of the epoils. Orrawa, Dec. 18.—The frievily nego- tiations which have been going on between the Minister of Customs and the Secretary of the United S:ates treasury looking to an amicable arrangement for the transport of goods in bond over the Canadian and American territory into the Klondyke and Alaska gold fields respectively, have re- sultcdin an understanding being reached which will obviate friction at entry ports, Under arrangements, the Americans will be allowed to transport goods destined for Cirele City in bond over the Canadian pasres and down the Yukon River, while the gocds destined for the Canadian guld fields will be bonded through to the boundsry from Dica and Skagway. Wisyirec, Dec. 18.-—Mr. Nantel’s attack on Hon. Hugh Joha Macdonald for hie course in dropping the Manitoba School Qiestion from the list of live isturs Ouly excites ridicule bere. I saw a nonber of leading Conservatives this morning, and withont exception, they heariily approved of their local Jeader’s policy in the matter. They claim that the Conservatives of Manitobs have suffered defeat and disror'icn owing to the ec ool question, and that while ‘tery have hecn igktivng bravely and uuceesingly for what ther b-lieve to oe the rights of the minority, they were ne- her supported nor encouraged by the Catholics of Quehee in those ¢ffor's. The Protes:anis of Manituba, they point out, gave the Conservative Gover: ment, which promised remedial legislatior, @ fair majority in June, L#96, whitle tue Catholics of Quene went over in a body tothe sarty which has not given any measure of justice to their western c--teiigionists. The desertion of the Muni bs Catholice by their brethern of Quebec, thy claim, relieves the Cor- eervative party from any other further responsibil.y w the question, and it is even contended that the mejority of Manitoba Catholics themeelves, who feel agzrieved over the treatment they received from Qn-bec, fully justify Hon. Mr. Macdonald in his enrounced poiisy to let the echog! t{uestion Feverely alone, A mirror could not lie if it wanted tc The glace ha8 nothingto gain by flattery. If the roses of health and plumpness and beauty are leaving your face, your mirror will tell you so. Health is the greatest beautifier in the world.
