ENGLAND'S VIE THE St. James? Gazette devotes a leading editorial to the discussion of Canadian interests as affected by the prospects of tariff revision in the true% awarded to j ethi1 al friends under tii•,e new regime as they had been, without tender by the late governrlrent. But Mr. Mtlleuk has chosen the fair straight forward course and while there may be some disappointed ones the country, I am sure, will commend him in the end for the eourse be is taking. Ile is most anxious that every tenderer in the past who has reason to believe his tender although the lowest was overlooked, would communicate their suspicions to him,. Since I drew attention to this matter before, some very strange revelations have come to light. ,lie wants your co. Operations on this matter. You will 'be surprised to learn when the House nets the amount of nUonev his vigilance has saved the country. THE. COUNTY PRESS. There is no ageney in the county that is vested with the same amount of power, for good or evil, as the country newspaper. When I started out in these letters from Ottawa some three years ago to have a week- ly ghat with the electors of Canada I did so with a view to keeping thele thoroughly posted as to what w;Ts going en behind the scenes, that when it came time for ahem to reel der their judgment at the poll, there might be nothing hidden from them. It was more to expose the political sinner than • any remuneration I might receive for my letters that I initiated this feature of journalism and the fact that now some 130 papers of the country press have asked me to furnish, them with cor- respondence from the capital. stands in evidence, I think, that my efforts have been appreciated and points to the good I may yet be able to do. With such a powerful lever in my hand I have for the future as in the past determined to direct my- efforts towards securing honest, economical and pure Government and in this, throwing party allegiance*,to one side I feel I have nine -tenths of the people and press of Canada with me We have our Liberal, Conservative and Independent press. Those who have carefully watched the events of the past few years cannot but be impressed with the idea that the day is fast approaching when tete press of the country will altogether be ran on fair independent lines free from party servility. Thebe are very many people in Canada who today believe that the patron- United States,. and urges the govern- ment to do something for Canada, which it says, is infinitely mote important than Guiana and South Africa. Continuing, the St. Jaynes Gazette says: "It would be well, before it is too late, for the Government and Parlia• went to consider whether the Dotu. inion has received the attention ib deserves. the consolidation of the Empire is an absolute necessity; yes nothing is done to accomplish what Mr. Chamberlain, long ago, promis- ed. What has he done, and what is be going to do for Canada?" Continuing, the St. James' Gazette points out Canada's temptations, alas refers to the alleged "boast of the A.nglophobe American papers, that she has no chance even of a customs union until Canada joins the United States." OH OTTAWA LETT 4:p Ottawa, Dec. 8.—Without in the least detracting from the interest other members of the Government are throwing into the work of the r respective departments, I must say that it was a fortunate thing for the taxpayers of Canada, when Mr. Laurier selected for his Post Master General a man possessed of the ability,' energy and courage as that shown by Hon. Wm. Mulock. There is not 0 department itt the whoe service where complete organization Is more needed, than in the Post Office Department and for that duty a wiser selection could not have beets made. 11r. Mulock is a millionare without doubt the wealthiest mem- ber of the House of Commons, and it is therefore apparent that he is not in the Government for salary or what he can make out of his position. His whole heart is nolo bent on the great work he has undertaken to give to the country a complete Branitfierd., Dela, tT'13q 4etilsn petition trial yesterday rday a.fte'rnoon was of short duration.. .After some unimportant witnesses. had been ex- • unlined, Wm.
