He depre- sated a disparaging tone regarding aur great neighbor, He bad met many prominent citizens of the great republic and while they no doubt differed from Canadians as to the policy to be arrived at, they had in the main kindly feel- ings towards Canada, He was con- vinced in Great Britain there was a steadily increasing recognition and appreciation of Canada, while at the same time flaying the most friendly feeling for the United' States. While Canada is the greatest of the British colonies, it is more than a colony ; it is a nationality, and on the high read to become a great nation.. (Cheers.) He bellied that the destiny of Canada might be to become one of the most potent factors, in the best sense of the term, in promoting the peace and happiness of the world." (Loud ap- plause.)

THE Toronto Empire's Montreal correspondent furnished an article to that paper, some days ago, in which he charged that one Whalen, contras, tor of the Quebec court house, had been bled by the Mercier Government and their supporters to the extent of `oyer $100,000.. The article was copied in a number of Conservative papers and commented on. It is now said • that -the 111ereier Government will have the editors,eorrespondents and publish ers of the papers which published the article arrested and prosecuted for criminal libel. The prosecutions re- ferred to are taken under the English cemn1on law against seditious libel, it being a high offence and misdemeanor to bring organized government into diorepute and to try to overthrow the existing institutions of a country by the publication of false andseditious statements for the purpose of poisons ing the public inind. Lotter Antenna, who le in this country on, a visit,was the guest of the National Club, Toronto, on Saturday Iast, and in the course of an address he delivered, spoke as follows: oCanada's Gini should be to secure as great ootzamercial intercourse with the United Stated as possible, always waist,- R, 'gig at the tame time full MR. LAURIER AT BOSTON. Mr. Laurier, leader of the Liberins in the House of Commons, was ten- dered a banquet at Boston, on Tuesday night, by the French Canadians of New England. The banquet was a brilliant affair, and was largely at. tended. ' Amongst the prominent Americans present were Governor Russell, of Massachusetts, Mr. Oars ruthers, acting Mayor of Boston, L. G. Burnham, President of the Bos. ton Chamber 'Of Commerce. There was a Large contingent of French Cana. diens from Montredl and Quebec ac conepanied Mr. Laurier to Boston. Addresses were delivered by the chairman, Governor Russell, Mr. Care ruthers, acting mayor of Boston, and. Mr. Laurier. Governor Russel, in his remarks, advocated the removal of all restrice tions in trade between the two countries. The benetite, he •argued, would be mutual to Canada and the United States, The sentiments of Massachusetts towards Canada was one of cordial friendship, which he would wish to intensify by securing reciprocity. Massachusetts always welcomed distinguished strangers, but never so willingly as when these strangers represented a liberal policy which would bind the nations of the earth together in friendship and trade, a policy that would promote the peace of the world. Mr Carruthers, speaking for the City of Boston, echoed the sentiments of the Governor, both as to the hearty weleome that was extended to Mr Laurier and as to the desirability of reciprocity in trade. Mr Laurier delivered a brilliant address. He said : The relations that now prevail between the United States and Great Britian were more worthy of two such nations. Times had changed for the better. Much more was needed, however. Canada was still a colony, but he was proud to say a free country. It was the destiny of the colonies to become independent nations. (Applause.) But how and when Canada, was to become indepene dent did not exact any concern among the people of Canada. England's treatment of her colonies in the pre. sent day was wise and liberal. She allowed thein all that she denied the American colonies in the last century. She did not seek to impose taxes upon the Canadian people, on the contrary Canadians could and did impose taxes on British goods coming into Canada. Britain and Canada were, however, drifting further and further apart, and the time is Coming when they muss; separate, but he was a British subject and as such he hoped that when the final separation carne about it would come in friendship, as a 'stip leaves` the hoose of his father to be. come himself the father of a family. (Loud applause,) But though there was at the moment in Canada, said Mr Laurier, tto desire for independence, the Liberal party of the Dominon be• Iieved the time had come when Cana. da'o Hower of self government should be further enlarged Canada wanted the power of making treaties with .other countries. The Liberals had for some time urged this, but had not sueoeeded in getting it. Opposition to snob a course, however, he believed, would not conte from England, where the Colonial Office would be only " too glad to have Canada take the trouble of making her treaties on herself. Canada wanted this power that she might be the better able to find the markets abroad that had become noses - eery to her prosperity. The one great market Canada needed was that of the 'United States, and if the United States were willing to throw open their markets to Canadians he was sure Canadiats would do the same to them. That was the policy that the Liberal party had adopted, on it they fought the last election, on it they were still fighting, and would eon tinue to fight until they gained the victory. (Applause.) The same prob- lem confronted the United States as Canada, that of finding a market for the overproduction in certain lines, and oddly enough the clauses in the McKinley Bill which attempted to provide a remedy for this evil looked to the same place in part to which the Canadian Minister of Finance bad gone on a reciprocity mission last year --the West Indies. Both the United States and Canada worked for the faraway market and neglected that at their doors. (Applause.) Bluevale Mr John Skilling held a meeting in the old Methodist church, on Friday evening last, for the purpose of organizing a singing class. The attendance was large considering the fact that there were several other attractions tended to draw the public. Mr Skilling succeeded in getting 23 members, and it is hoped that he way double the membership next meeting, which will be held on Friday,tI.e 20th inst.—Conductor W K Snider deliver- ed his famous lecture, "Life on the Rail and People we meet," in the Methodist church, on • Monday, the 16th inst.

After the wedding, a large company assembled about the house, Upon being invited in, they jointly and severally wished, the couple much happiness. After which Mr Baker entertained them in a most gentlemanly manner, and when the time came when they should depart, they did so with a feeling that they had thoroughly enjoyed themselves. At a recent meeting of L 0 L, No. 766, Bluevale, the following resolution of condolence was unanimously ex- tended to Mr Jas Timmins : Bluevale, November 9th, 1891. To Belo rutin JAS. Trtrnut.ts,— In behalf. of the brethren of L 0 L, No. 766, we take this opportunity of extending to you our deepest fra- ternal sympathy in consideration of the severe and painful trial through whiab you have, in the Providence of God, been called to pass. The loss which you have suffered would cause a tear to flow from the hardest heart, more especially on account of the youth and spring-like beauty of her, who has,•as it were in the twinkling o£ an eye, been rent from your breast. We, as brethren, united by the in• dissoluble bond of brotherly love, share your grief and unite with you in drop- ping a tear for the dear departed. We feel that this Loud call is a solemn warning to us all to "watch, for we know not what a day nor an hour may bring forth." May this affliction, which is but for a moment, work out for you a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory. Let us be patient, these severe afflictions • Not from the ground arise, But often times celestial benedictions Assume this dark disguise. She is not dead, the wife of your affection .But gone unto that school, Where she no longer needs your kind pro. tion And Christ himself doth rule. In that great cloister's stillness and scolds igen By guardian angels led, Safe from temptation, safe from sin's pol- lution She live) whom we call dead.
