Sir Hector Langevin, replying to Mr.
Barron, said that the73arr•ie post -office was
built by William Toms, of Ottawa: The
contract price was $25,000 and the total
amount epent'was $30,980.
Sir Hector Langevin, replying to Mr.
McMullen, said that it had been the rule for
some time past that employees of the de-
partments have no lunch hour, except
where medical certificates _.•declared it was
necessary.
Mr. Rowell, replying to Mr. Charlton,
said that half -fare tickets were issued on
the Goyerninerr.t railways to clergymen

r. Lepine, on motion for a return, com-
p • tired that erre French employees of the
Dominion were not half as numerous as the
English. In the Custom House at Montreal

English. If one -teeth part of the injustice
were shown to the English iu Ontario there
would be loud complaint: .
73owe'll said a full investigation would
show that the charge was not borne out.
• Thererwas scarcely an iinpor'tant office filled
without the annaanf, of

that the rEnglish were overlooked. He en-
deavored to do justice to all classes.
Mr. Curran denied that any injustice
was done to the French-Canadians in Mon-
treal.
Mr. Bowed, answering Mr. McMullen,
said thin the investigation now going on in
Montreljt was with a view to superannuat-
ing emp oyes who could be dispensed with.
He expehtod that there would be a saving of
$10,000 a year by this means. The investi-
gation would be continued .at other points
when it was concluded in Montreal.
Sir John Thompsen, upon the, resumption.
of Mr. Kirkpatrick's motion. declaring the
expediency of bestowing some mark of
recognition upon the veterans of 1837-'8,
said that he desired to express his own
opinion as to the desirability of this Gov-
ernment dealing with this question. What-
ever the merits might be in the
public estimation of those who.
were concerned in • the conflict of
that period, this was a question, he
submitted, which, in this Dominion Parlia-
ment, formed as it was of representatives
not merely of those two Provinces in which
the struggle raged fer the time, but of the
newer Provinces having nothing at all to do
with, they should not be called upon to deal
with. I a inappro >•1nate thtParlianien.t•
bo asked t grant any bounty.. They should
remember that this country dated from the
period when the Dominion was formed,
when all the Provinces joined hands in
forming a new nationality. It was for that
reason that the Government had declined to
recognize this as a bounty which they
tltbould grant... With the. object of letting
-theme pact conflictelsefin-gotten as nearly as
possible, the Provinces themselves had
resolved to allow history'' to do justice to
those engaged in them. '
Mr. Flint, in moving the House into com-
mittee on his hill to amend the Canada Tem-
perance AmendmentAct, said that under
his proposal druggists and chemists, inthe
transaction of their business, were . left un-
touched in every particular in which they
were placed by the amendment of 1888 ex-
cept in the sale or purchase • of alcohol or
spirituous liquors, in regard to which they
were plyaced under the restrictions imposed
upon licensed vendors by -the-Canada Tem-
perance Acta The Act, as passed in 1818,
provided proper regulations for the sale' of
liquor by druggists for medicinal and
mechanical purposes and the recording of
such sales, but this provision was consider-
ably weakened by the amendment of 1888.
Itwas to restore the efficiency of the Act
that he proposed the amendment.
• Mr. Barron, in moving the second reading
of the hill to amend the Railway Act, said
tie object was to compel railways to have
separate, doors for the entrance to and exit
from cars. This, he believed, would obviate
she danger caused by passengers crowding
in and out of the same door.
Sir John Thompson said the hill would be
very impracticable. •
Mr. Costiigan introduced a bill to emend
the Petroleum Inspection Act. Ho said the
bill consisted of one short clause giving
the Governor -General -in -Council plower to
make regulations to exonlpt wholly or in
part from inspection such petreleimi Dile as
are not •fit for illuminating purposes.
Mr, Beausoleil said that the Empire of
yesterday contained a telegram from Mon-
treal stating that there was a conspiracy be-
tween _Mr. W. T. R. Preston, himself, and
Mr. Greenshields to overthroav'the present.
Government; that they had held a meeting
to woke it out et the Windsor Hotel, Mon-
treal, on Sunday ;, and that they had secured
possession of letters written by members of
tho Government years ago, which they ex-
pected would be of great value to them. He
said the statement was a fabricatipn.
Mr. Foster held that Mr. Beausoleil had
no 4ht to proceed further with his denial.
Its. Speaker called the next o Ider`on the
paper. c
The House 'divided on Mr. Charlton's
amendment, which was lost on a vote of. 81

Mr. Hagrart, in reply to Mr. Cast; said
-that it would take two or three weeks, be -
fere the complete returns of the stemma were
published.
-' Mr. Paterson (Brant) thought the incom-
plete returns should be brought down.
Mr. Denison objected to incomplete re-

Mr. Haggart, in reply, to complaints about
the delay of the censusi€eturne, said that
the reports that were behind were from one
diatric•t in Nipissing and from lour districts
in British Columbia. He said• that an
approximate return for these district could
bo supplied if necessary.
Mr. Mulocksaid that the census appoint-
ments were dangled before the people before
the elections to serve party ends. This was
most improper. Tile Government was
using the public service to make votes to
keep a few men in office. This v = r-
meites tie wliole ' Administration. ' ven
the documents relating to the public con-
tracts showed that . they were using the
public resources to keep the Cabinet in
power.
Mr. Charlton said that the Post Office
Department appointments had always been
made with an eye to the interests of the
party and net the country. The interests of
party were looked at first, from the appoint-
ment of an official to the awarding of a con-
tra ct for tho,,ei'pl3.e-wlLll at Quebec.
Mr. McMillan criticized the expenditure
upon the Central k xperienental Farm et.

was not justified the beneli

gauce characterized the management of other
experimental farms.
Mr. McMullen said that no doubt the

court martial to be executed by being blown
from the mouth of a gun. Saturday, the

Mr. Daly. said that he was satisfied that

Mr. McMillan said that the experimental
farms were not encouraging the breeding of
horses suitable to the requirements of the
country, or for the foreign market. He ob-
jected to placing stallions in experimental
farms at a large expense when there were
throughout the country superior animals
owned by private individuals.
Sir Richard Cartwright said it seemed to
be an imprudent act on the part of the
Government to agree to pay $30,000 for the
use of six farm sires for five years. It might
have been better to buy the animals out-
right
Mr. •Haggart said that the price was not
higher than that paid by other Governments.
He would suggest to the superintendent the
advisability of selecting next year horses
more suitable to. the requirements of the
country.
Mr. Rowand said that the •most popular
horses in this country were the Clydesdale
and Shire. The Percherone was unsuitable.

TUE UNHAPPY JEWS.
WMOOP
The Outrages by the Reassians Continue
Unabated.
Advices from Elisabetgrad, Russia, state
that recently several th,Q .�sand farm labor -
ere, small land owners, auks , others engaged
in agricultural occupationis in the country
surrounding Elisabetgrad; marched into the
town and proceeded to the Jewish quarter.
The terrified Jew• -I, upon seeing the mob
approaching, made frantic efforts to hide
,gienvel Geafronal heir -enemies.., . A -macs -cries
of "Kill the Jews !" the thousands of
yokels descended upon. their cowering vic-
tims. They attacked the Jews' shops and
d'wellings driving the owners from them
lioldtiig thein powerless to defend them-
selves or their property, and plundered
them of everything valuable. What was
considered not worth while stealing was
wantonly destroyed. Some of the .braver
Jews resisted this looting of their property,
but this only made matters worse for them,
and three of them were killed. Many others
who attempted to defend their families or
Driesseases 3r shear eavarear
wounded. The rioting in the Jewish quar-
ter continued for hours, and although the
authorities were well aware of the outrages
being committed they did not take a single
step to prevent them, nor interfere to pro-
tect the Jews.

correspondent of the Courier -Journal. He
was then tied securely to the muzzle of the
corn, his back to it, 'facing the parade. The
gun was loaded with an extra charge of
powder, with a clod of grassy turf
lightly rammed home. The man's face
was pale as death, but he still hacl
a resolute look, and did not , trem-
ble one whit. He certainly. died a
brave man. The word was given by
the commandant and the lanyard pulled. A'
dull explosion followed, and the unhappy
wretch was launched into eternity, blown
into eternity, blown into fragments ! He,
however, had a certain revenge, even in
death, for his right arm, being , tightly
drawn back on the gun, on the latter being
fired, was violently projected back, striking
with force a stalwart sergeant of artillery
on the throat and hurling him to the earth.
The sergeant was six months in hospital
before he recovered •su-fiiciently-,to rejoin his
corps. A party of the deceased mutineer's
regiment picked up the pieces very care-
fully, as to miss any of them would entail
much suffering in a future ,state, and car-
ried the' remains off to be buried by'his
friends.
PASSING • AWAX.
The 'New York Herald is of opinion that
the English nobility "must go." Burghley
House, by. Stamford town, will soon be sold
at auction. It has been in the Cecil family
since 1560. The park in which it is situated
is one of the meet beautiful in England,
and the house contains costlycarvings and
pictures of great value. But the farms of
the estate have ceases -to pay and the ex
penses:. connected with such an establish-
ment have greatly ' increased. ' It will go
under the hammee to the highest.l>.idder—
to some rich commoner, perhaps, or possibly
to scene enterprising Ameriean' who wor-
ships whatever is English, you know. A
large number of the old hereditary estate
owners in England are suffering a similar
embarrassment. • Generations ago they were
the petty. sovereigns of the country ; now
they, are the victims of democratic and
commercial progress. They manage to keep
up the old prestige, but it becomes more
difficult year by year. 'Their "influence
over public affairs is. broken, history ,has
inaugurated a new regime hi which they
count for little, and they have nothing to
console themselves withal except the. glory
of the past and a • sullen, leaden mortgage
which constantly menaces .thein with evic-
tion. The barrier' between classes, , accord-
ing to our democratic contemporary, is
little more than a figment of the imagina-
tion. Brains and money are even now more
powerful than long descent, and in the race
for fame and power the nobility lag in the
rear. In other words, nobility will soon sur-
render to ability. The chivies are ringing
out the feudal Englishman and ringing in
the Englishman of the new times. " One by
one the grand estates of other Hays are
being scold, and in most instances they are
bought, by men who have money, energy
and pluck,' but who lack grandfathers.".
If the land rents contirfue to he collected
and applied for the personal.use of the land
" owners," it will not be reach a wonder-
frtl improvement to 'substitute• the wealthy
grandfatherless for the present titledn obili ty.-
The needed change will not come as the re-
sult of the bankruptcy of the aristocracy.
It will come from public• recognition of the
great truth thatthe land of Eng?and belongs to
the people of England, and not to the few who
have in thae past exercised ,. the privilege of.
charging their fellow countryinen for stand-
ing room and an opportunity to dig a living
out of the sod. When the Stats takes land
rent for public revenue, the so-called land-
owners, whether 'titled. or not will have to
go to work to earn an honest riving. Thus'
the aristocracy will be disposed o, without
necessity .for such slow and tedious pro-
cesses of dry rot as the Herald anticipates.
A man who behaves himself and is self-sup-
porting, can afford to have a grandfather, or
even a title, if possession taf such a thing is
agreeable to him., •

According to a letter recerveu in umaha
by Abet foldstein, a well known citizen, S.
Gerber, who has lived in Omaha for the ast
five years, has been exiled to Siberia by the
Russian authorities. Gerber went last
March to Myszyuca, near the German fron-
tier, his native town in Poland, for. the
purpose of returning with his family, who
had remained in the old country. His ap-
pearance in the little town excited suspicion,
and his arrival soon reached the ears
of the authorities. Fearing arrest by
the minions of the autocrat of all the
Russias, Gerber fled across the frontier -
into a neighboring Germanprovince. Events
proved that his fears -were well founded. .A
demand was made upon the authorities -of
the German town in which -Gerber had
taken refuge, and he wee tnrned over to the,
emissaries of the Czar, who took him in
chains to Myszyuca, where he was tried on .
the charge of running, away to. America.
Gerber alarmed to he a citizen of the Knitted
States, and showed papers proving that - he
was a naturalized citiaen, hot in spite of
this he was sentenced to imprisonment for
one year in jail at Lomsey, the capital of
the province, and afterward to be baskiehed
to Siberia for five years and his property. •
