SOME TARIFF RESOLUTIONS PASSED Provincial Officiais’ Disfranchisment. ~~ Oprawa, April 14. The House of Commons went into com- mittee yesterday afternoon on the tariff, and spent the whole afternoon and the greater part of the evening vession de- bating the second resolution relating to the power of the Government to place goods on the free list by orders in coun- cil. Sir John Thompson and Hon. Mr. Fos- ter pointed out that that power was first taken in the Customs Act of 1877, passed by the grits themselves. Then the grits argued that the power had been abused, but wholly failed to make out a case. The resolution passed on the under- standing that the Government would pub- lish all such orders in council in the Canada Gazette. All the resolutions being passed, the House adjourned at ten. Mr. Mills, of Annapolis, gives notice of a motion, that it is expedient to amend the Dominion Franchiee Act by disfranchis- ing officials employed, and all persons in receipt of wages or commissions from all Provincial Governments, which, by their legislatures, disfranchised Dominion off- cials, or any of them. It is believed here that a very sweeping measure of this kind is likely to meet with much favor in the House. SITUATION IN NEWFOUNDLAND Mr. Goodridge’s Plan of Campaign. Sr. Joun’s, Nfid., April 14. Mr. Goodridge has not completed hie final arrangements for the formation of his ministry, but will announce his cabinet to-day, when they will be sworn in. It is likely to be composed as follows: Premier, A. F. Goodridge; Receiver- General, W.J.Donnelly; Attorney-General, Donald Morrison; Surveyor-General, Law- rence Furlong; Colonial-Secretary, Alfred B. Morine. When they assuine office Mr. Goodridge wi'! Jikely advise prorogation for a month or six weeks 60 as not to face a hostile majority. As the triale progress many Whitewayites will be unseated, and when he presents the money bills at the re-opening, he will probably be able to yass them, if not, he may induce some Whitewayites to change sides.

MacLeod has just received a most interesting letter from Lady Tennyron, widow of the late Poet Laureate. Her ladyship informs Mrs MacLeod that her son, Baron D, Eynecourt is busy preparing memoirs of his father, and that, owing to feeble health, almost the only reading or writing which she undertakes is in connection with that work. It was the expressed wish of the illustrious poet that no memoir of him be written until urgently called for. The work has been so urgently cesired th: t those most qualifiel for the task have undertaken it, and in due course the world will be gratified with the compre- hensive life story of its poet-king, com- piled by the willing hands and loving hearts of those who shared in his toils, and rejoiced in his triumps, and who yet seem haloed with the fragrance of his memory. Perfect health is seldom found, for im- pure blood is so general. Hood’s Sarsap:.- rilla really does purify the blood and restores health. APRON SALE.
