The bells of Christendom have tolled to-day for the brave, strong, steadfast, unambitious and unassuming man, who successfully led the largest armies jtho world ever saw and was twice elected to the highest civil office in the gift of the American Nation. His body has been committed to the ground ; his good example remains to all generations. 1885. 6a a 1 oy Character in Representative Men. Tue action of the Conservative election agent with respect to Sir Charles Dilke, as reported in another column, will be variously criticized. There are mavy who will say that it is unfair and wrong. A candidate for the suffrages of the people, it will be urged, should be judged only by his public acts. Sir Charles, it will be said, has proved himself to be an able man, and should not be driven out of the service of the country, or lose the confidence of his supporters, simply because his morals are questionable and he is suspected of undue intimacy another man’s wife. But we incline to the opivion that a people with ® | eannot be too careful that their repre-; sentatives are men of high moral charac- ter, and that election agents are justified in challenging any candidate for the peoples suffrages to rebut any charges respecting his private aud moral charac- ter for which there may apparently be goed grounds. Asa rule, the people are judged by their representative meno, and as a rule the man who could be guilty of a gross breach of the social laws of morality, cannot possibly be actuated by those right priuciples which give rise to sound legislation. In the United States the great importance of those considera- tions is now recognized, as witness the keen investigation in the late election of the characters of Cleveland and Blaine ; and in England, we see that a very able aud distinguished politician is in great danger of losing the high position he has won, because he has been, as a private man, ‘‘indiscreet.” It would be well if we, Canadians, were more careful about the private characters of our repre sentative men. scpluipiiaereemscitasamsiaiitn waitin: ~ “An Eye to Business ” After four months the “ Liberals” of St. John have, in view of the coming election, passed a resolution of condo- lence with the relatives of the Hon. Isaac Burpee, and conclude with the fol- lowing paragraph :— ‘* As an earnest and best tribute to his memory, and a mark of tke respect in which he was so justly held, the convention urge upon the Liberal party of this city and county, whom he so faithfully served, to unite in maintaining successfully those political principles for which, under his leadership and guidance, they contended, as representing the true policy of pros- perity 2n? advancement to the Dominion.” On which the Montreal Gazette re- marks : ‘‘Now, four months after the event, when an election is approaching, and it is neces- sary to secure the support of the friends of the late member, the Liberal party has gone through the form of passing resolu- tions of condoleace, winding them up with a political suggestion, after manner of tho disconsolate widow who¢had inscribed upon the toombstone of her late husband the fact that the business would be carried on at the old stand. The St. John Liberals have an eyo to business; it remains to be seen whether they have skilfully managed the affair. — In reply to a representative of the Gazette, of Montreal, Alderman Grenier stated that it was the intention of the French people (the Rouge element) to prepare a petition to the Governor Geueral askiog that the capital sentence on the half-breed rebel should be com- muted to one of penal servitude for life. No committee nor organization has yet been appointed to take charge of the petition, but it is understood that the initiative will be taken at an early date. Parliamentary Sessions.

CANON FARRAR'S MEMORIAL ADDRESS, ‘Eight years have not passed since the late Dean Stanley, whom Americans 80 loved and honored, was walking around this abbey with General Grant, explaining the wealth of great memorials. Neither of them had nearly attained the allotted span of life. Both might have hoped that many years would elapse before descending to the grave full of years and honors. This is only the fourth year since Dean Stanley fell asleep. ‘To-day we assem>le at the obsequies of the great soldier, whose sun set while it was yet day, and at whose funeral services in America tens of thousands are assembled }at this moment to mourn with the weeping family and friends, I desire to speak simply and directly, with generous appre- ciation, but without idle flattery, of him whos> death has made a nation mourn. His private life, his faulis or failing of character, whatever they may have been, belong in no sense to the world. They are before the judgment of God’s merciful for- giveness, We will tonch only upon his public actions and services. Upon a bluff overlooking the Hudson his monument will stand, recalling to future generations the dark page in the nation’s history which he did so much to close.” After eloquently racing General Grant’s boyhood and man- hood the speaker went on :— THE DEVELOPMENT OF MANHOOD. ‘*Tf the men who knew him in Galena, obscure, silent, unprosperous, unambitious, had said—if any one had predicted that he would become twice President and one of the foremost men of the day, the prophesy would have seemed extravagantly ridicul- ous. But such careers are the glory of the American continent; they show that the people have a soverign insight into intrinsic force If Rome told with pride that her discators came from the ploughtail, America may record the angwer of the President who, when asked what would be his coat of arms, answered, proudly mindful of his early struggles, ‘*A pair of shirt sleeves,” Tbe answer showed a notable sense of the dignity of labor, a noble conviction that men should be honored simply as men, not according to the accident of birth. ‘‘America has had two martyred Presi- dents, both sons of the people. Onea homely man, who was a farm lad at the age of 7, a railsplitter at 19, a Mississippi boat- man at 28, and who in manhood proved one of the strongest, most honest and God-fear- ing ef modern rulers) The other grew from a shoeless child to be an humble teacher in the Hiram Institute. KINGS OF MEN. ‘‘With those Presidents America need not blush to name the leather seller of Galena. Every true man derives a patent of nobleness direct from God. Was not the Lord for thirty years a carpenter in Nazareth? Lincoln’s and Garfield’s sand Gravt’s early conscientious attention to humble duties fitted them to become kings of men, The year 1861 saw the outbreak of the most terrible of modern wars. The hour came and the man was needed. Within four years Grant commanded an army vaster than had ever before been handled by man. It was not luck, but the result of infiexible faith'nlness, indomitable resolution, sleepless energy, iron purpose, persistent tenacity. He rose by the upward gravitation of natural fitness. The very soldiers became impregnated with his spirit. Gen. Grant has been grossly and unjustly called a butcher. He loved peace ‘and hated bloodshed. But it was his duty at all costs to save the country. The struggle was not for victory, but for existence ; not for glory, but for life or death. In his silence, determination and clearness of insight Grant resembled Washington and Wellington. In the hottest of battle his speech never exceeded ‘ Yea, yea’ and ‘Nay, nay.’ THE FUTURE OF THE NATION, ‘‘God’s light has shown for the future destinies of a mighty nation that the war of 1861 was a necessary, a blessed work. The Church has never refused to honor the faithful soldier fighting forthe cause of his country and his God. The cause for which Grant fought—the unity of a great people, the freedom of a whole race—was aa great and noble as when at Lexington the em- battled farmers fired the shot which re- sounded around the world. The South accepted a bloody arbitratement, but the rancor and fury «f the past are buried in oblivion. The names of Lee and Jackson will be a common heritage with those of Garfield and Gvant. Americans are no longer Northexyners and Southerners, but Americans. What verdict history will pro- neunce upon Grant as a politician aud a man I krow not, but here and now the voice of censure, deserved or undeserved, is silevt. We leave his faults to the mercy of the merciful. dius, AN EXAMPLE FOR GENERATIONS. ** Lot us write his virtues on brass for men’s example. Let his faults, whatever they may have been, be written on water. Who ean tell if his closing hours of torture and misery were not blessings in disguise— God purging the gold from dross until the strong man was utterly purified by his strong agony? Could we be gathered in a more fitting place to honor General Grant ? There ia no lack of American memorials here. We add another to-day. Whatever there be between the two nations to forget end forgive is forgotten and forgiven. If the two peoples which are one be trus to their duty, who can doubt that the destinies of the world are in their hands? Let America and England march in the van of freedom end progress, showing the world not only a magnificent spectacle of human happiness, but a still more magnificent spectacle of two peoples united, leaving righteousness and hating iniquity, inflexifly faithful to the principles ef eternal justice, which aro the unchanging law of God.” _—-aae Every year the Judges of Aereize in Eng- ?\ land send to Queen Victoria the written names of three men in each county from whom to choose high sheriffs. She indi- cates her selection by sticking a pin through the names. But this is an empty ceremony, went ashore on Wallace Rock, N. B. She’ for the choices are really made beforehand will probably be @ total wreck. by the Prime Minister. ol a a aie prea Ral ie i aks ee cite Nak “ha a Fh anon eneeelion The Dilke Scandal. THE STORY OF THE SCANDALOUS AFFAIR PUBLISHED IN PAMPHLET FORM. The scandal in which Sir Charles Dilke is involved will not down at his bidding, and even his lavish payment of $125,000 to the aggrieved but purchasable husband has not been potent enough to secure him peac>. His political enemies have now taken up the story in earnest, and deliberately pro- pose to use it as campaign amunition against him in the canvass for the general elections in every way in which it cau be made effective. The tory election agent for Chelsea, the borough which Sir Charles re- presents, has collected what is believed to be the true story of the scandalous adver- ture, and has published it in pamphlet form. ‘The pamphlet has been mailed to every one of Sir Charles’ registered consti- tuents, and copies bave been scattered broadcast upon the streets of Chelsea, This is the first actual publication of the scandal in England, and this does not mince matters in the least; publishes names, dates and localities without reserve. If the allega- tions were untrue, either Sir Charles Dilke, Mrs. Crawford, or her husband, would have ample grounds for proceeding, both crimi- nally aud civilly, against the publishers. The election agent who has _ pub. lished the pamphlet pleads ‘ truth and jus- tification.” He says that, firstly, the charges are true, and secondly, it is right and desirable that they should be made known, for the culprit is seeking the suffrages of his fellow men to secure his re- turn to a public post of honor and import- ance, and the electors have a right to know the kind of men for whom they are to be asked to vote. It is probable, however, that the agent relies more upon the pro- bable unwillingness of Sir Charles to add publicity to the scandal than upon this technical defence. Iu Chelsea the great majority of the population had hitherto been in total ignorance of the scandal, and its revelation has caused a sensation of the most painful kind, +a ----— Boston Ma-kets. Boston, Ang. 5. Eaas—-There has been a good demand for fresh Eastern, which command 15 and 15$c. The best Northern and Isl:ni are taken at 14 and 1442. Very few Western are worth over 13 aad 13}$c. At the close l6c. is asked for fresh Eastern, which are scarce. We quote P. E. Island at 14 and 144¢. Fisa—There has been an iminense catch of Mackerel the past three days. Ruceipis at outports and here since Friday foot up some 20,000 barrels, inciuding Shore: and Bay trips. Barnstable Bay is. swarming with Mackerel, and large schools are seen in other places. The fish are of fine quality and siza, and a good part of each fare will inspect ones and twos. Prices continne low. Sales’ of Shore have been made at $3 per barrel, with barrel, and Bay at $2.25 to $2.75 per bbl, as to quality. The Bays run smaller than Shore. Cargo lots of inspected Shore have been sold at $2.50 for Ne. 3; $5 for No. 2; and $10 for No. 1. A few lots of Block Island Mackerel sold at $6.50 for No. 2; $12.50 for No. 1; and $17 for extras. Trade has improved a litile and at low prices now ruling dealers expect liberal orders. No Mackerel were brought up by the Halifax steamer on Monday. Nova Scotia Mackerel are not wanted, and have no regular selling price. Receivers who cleaned out a month ayo were fortunate. Codfish continue quiet and steady. The weather is still unfavorable for curing and only small lots are offered. Choice larye dry Bank command $5.50 to $5.75 per q'l. Hake, Haddock and Pollock are without movements of importance.

ENTERPRISING PEOPLE WHO FXPECT TO REAP BIG HARVEST, } The burial of General Graut wiil be in ‘the nature of a harvest for a large number of enterprising people in this city. As soon as it became known that he was to be interred here, and the route of the fuueral procession wes learned, a small army of speculators began to eanvass the propric- tors of empty rooms on Broadway, from which a good view of the procession could be had. A Herald reporter who called upon a number of people who had advertis- ed accommodations found that they had an abiding faith in the willingness of New Yorkers to pay big prices for the privilege of witnessing the last honors paid to Gen. Grant. A balcony is to be built around the second floor of a corner building on Broadway. Seats on this balcony can bs had for $5 each, except at one point which is considered specially desirable, where the tariff will be $10. Then the second floor rooms are all to be let out. One smail room the speculator considers worth $50. About a dozen people can equeez2 into positions where they can sce the processior. But another speculator further up Broad- way beats this all hollow. He has no seats for less than $10 each. He has three or four little arrangements that he calls ‘‘balconies,” but which are really dim- inutive fire escape landings. Three people would take up all the room there is in them, but he ealculates that seven people will gladly pay $10 each for this ‘‘accommoda- tion.” He is willing to let each of them to a party, however, at $50 apiece. There is trouble in the Building Depart- ment over the proposed erection of a large stand onthe east side of Riverside Drive, near 122nd street. An application for a permit has been filed, and Superintendent D'Oench says he will not grant it. The men who propose putting up the stand says it is going up anyway.—New York Hereid. a ee Cholera in Paris. It is reported that there are several cases of chalera in Paris hospital, anda number of other patients with the disease are under- going private treatmentin that city. The authorities of the city and all the news- papers, except the Cri du Peuple end the radical organs, refrain from mentioning the appearance of the disease in Paris, fearing the announcement would frighten away the English and American tourists, who are thronging to the city. The Americans ‘who have been warned are going either to England or Switzerland. The hospitals are actively preparing to combat the epidemic. > HORACE HASZARD offers the following Goodefat Lowest Wholesale Prices: 250 barrels Patent Process Flour, 250 ‘** Choice Superior do, 250 ‘** Superior Extra do, 100 ** Seconds do, 125 °** Amerizan K.
