The Exeter Advocate, 1891-9-24, Page 3DOMINION PARLIAMENT Sir John Thompeon, before the orders of the deer were called, said : I Want to make a short Stetereent to the Houseet the instance of the laite Minieter of Public: Works. I neight remind the HouE;e that et the time of the oecurrence, when the resignation of the late Mieister of Public Works Was annoenced to the House, the House wee notified that another Minister lied taken charge of the Department of Public Werke in consegeence of the resignation of our late colleague. I was somewhat surprised at a subsequent stage, two or three weeks after- wards, at a question being put across the floor of the House as to the position occupied by the late Minister, bemuse it indicated misapprehension on the subject of the position of the hon. member for three Rivers (Sir Hector Lan- gevin), which was not anticipeted at the time the resignation was announced. 13et a -day or two ago the question was asked in the Senate, and the hon. gentleman himself feels that any am- biguity on the subject thas may exist in the public mind end in the minds of rneinbere of Parliament should no longer exist. He therefore addressed the following letter on the matter to the Prime IVIinister : Creme, 7th Sept„1891. Mir Dean Plusue. itIneisrne,—I see that at the last mooting of the Senate a• question was pnt o yoa by one of the Souatore to know whether miresignetion as Minister of Public Works has been accepted. This question com- ing after a similar one in the House of Parlia- ment makeme proceive that there is some mis- understanding about my position, and in order 'to put an end, to it I wish, as intended by me, to -ask you that my resignation may be accepted without delay. I remain, my dear Prime Minister, Yours very truly. lanceoe L. LANDIVIN. Hon. J. 3. C. Abbott, PrimeMinistor, Ottawa. The Prime Minister has written to Six Hector Langevin as follows : Paw's( 001.7NOM 611,10E, OTTAWA, 7th Sept. 1891. Haan Sue liscrron Lenenviee—I have to acknowledge your letter of thia morning re- sguesting thayour resignation may be accepted without further delay,and to say that iu ae- oordanco with your wish 1 shall regard your eresignation as final, and shall lay it before His ,Excellenpy immediatelY• tI remain, dear Sir Hector, yours very truly, J. 3.0. ABBOTT. Mr. Laurier said—Mr, Speaker, the state - 'meat just made by. the Minister of Justice shows that after all there was some reason sfor the anxiety whieh Was manifested in the spublk mind as to the position occupied by the present member for Three River (Sir 'Hector Langevin). Some time ago the Minister of Justice stated in answer to a *4nestion put by myself that the resignation of the hon. gentleman might not be ac- cepted. In point of law it may be so, be. cause no one is compelled to serve unless he is willing to do so. The moment his reins - illation was tendered, and the l'riine Minis- tsr did not insist on it being taken back, from that moment it was accepted. Now, t however, the position has been made clear, • and we understand that from the time the hon. gentlemanplaced les resignation in the bands of the Prime Minister he ceased to be . an adviser of His Excellency. Mr. Foster, in reply to Mr. Rinfra, who . asked. the questionfor Mr. Amyot, said that the subsidies paid to the Bak desChaleurs Railway Co. up to the present amounted to .$524,175. Sir John Thompson, in reply to Mr. Delisle, said that the reasons which justified. the appointment of judges were not safe- • factory expressed in the question as to whether the position of judge is conferred on members of the legal profession as a reward forpolitical services, or as a crown- ing of their success in their professional .sareer. In answer to the second question, as to how it happens that since 1878 no judge has been selected in the Province of Quebec from amongst the advocates belong. ing to the Liberal party, he said that the question was not properly before the House, because it assumed a fact of -which the Government had no knowledge. The ad- ministration of justice was entrusted to men of both political parties. • Mr. Edgar asked Sir John Thompson if the revising officers had been informed of the extension of time for putting in their declarations. He had information that in Muskoka the revising officer closed the pre- liminary lists and had them printed on August 1st and had gone on to hold his final courts. Efe supposed that most people were understood to know what the law as peeped was, but the Government should have taken every step to advise the revising officers. Sir John Thompson said the revising offi- cers had always been commanicated with by the Secretary of State, under whose charge they were. Mr. Chapleau had told •hirn that tbe revising officers were notified (by telegraph on the evening of the day the, Slaw extending the time was passed. The House went into Committee of 'Supply. Mr. Somerville asked for an explanation of the services rendered by Mr. Fabre, sCanadian agent at Paris, for whom the House was asked to vote $3,500. Sir Adolphe Caron said that Mr. Falsre 'woe of assistance to Canadian visitors and -commercial men who had business in Paris. This same man had been appointed by the .Mackenzie Government to the Senate. Mr. Mackenzie—I repent of it. Mr. Somerville said there was no justifi- cation for this item. If the Government wanted a pet in Paris let them put their hands into their own pockets and pay him. This country could not afford to have its money squandered in this way. He pointed out that this man had only induced one im- :migrant to come to Canada in eight or ten years. Mr. Lariviere said that if this man was in any other country than France there would *not be so much opposition. He had been able to render • Canada great service in Paris the capital a the world. (" Oh franied t his bill, which was the founda- tion of portioae of the bill under considera- tion. The officer was, under the bill, which be bed introduced, obliged to etvear that he wee 4 bona fide voter. Why had this been struck out? Sir John Thompson replied that the form of oath drawn up by Mr. Cameron would create confusion. The clause wae finally amended to meet Mr. Caineron'e views. Sir John Thempson proposed a new clause with the view to the betterprotection of the ballots after they have been placed in the ballot boxes. The clauee which he sub- mitted provided that et the conclusion of the poll the ballots should be placed in an envelope and securely sealed up. This was accepted. Sir .John Thompson moved an amendment imposing upon deputy returning officals the duty of delivering the ballot boxes to the returning officer. the clause after discussioa was carried. emu ItEOESS. The committee rose and reported progress on the bill to amend the Dominion Election Act, and asked leave to sib again. The House went into Committee ef Sup - Sir Richard Cartwright, when the item of $25,000 for expenses for the enforcement of the Act to prevent the adulteration of food was under consideration, asked Mr. Pesti- gan if the Government proposed to take steps to punish persons guilty of introduc- ing injurious substences into food, Mr. Costigoat said that the 'awes amended lest session gave power to proceed vigor- ously against offenders in this respeet. The offence under the Act consisted in the intro- duction into foods of substances injurious to health. • Sir Richard Cartwright—f understand, then, that it is the intention of the Govern- ment to carry out the law rigorously ; that in any case brought to their notice, in which tradesmen or merchants have adulterated food in such a way as to be injurious to the customers, the Government are prepared to punish them. Mr. Costigau—Yes. Sir Richard Cartwright said the names of persons adulterating foods Should be pub- lished. • Mr. Costigan said this was being done now. Mr. Armstrong said that wider publicity should be given to the results of the analyses of foods. He called attention par- ticularly to the adulteration of mustard, which in some cases amounted to 40 per cent. Mr. Costigan said it was the duty of his department to see that the law was carried out, and he proposed to see that it was carried out. Mr. Somerville said that he had informa- tion that a sale of public property near Billing's bridge Ottawa, was made to a brother of Mr. bridge,. member for West York, by private arrangement, and not public auction. If it was a fact that a valu- able strip of land was sold to complete the piece of land Mr. Wallace had there, the the committee was entitled to some infor- mation as to the price paid for the land, and the reason why the Government had de- parted from the ordinary course of putting ordnance land up to auction. Mr. Dewdney said that the law provided that land should be sold by -public auction except in cases where long leases existed, in which the lessee was given an opportunity of purchasing. No unusual course was pursued in regard to the sale of land. to Mr. Wallace's brother. This land in ques- tion was a small strip 100 feet in width at one end. and running to a poiut. hi front of the land purchased by afie Wallace from Mr. Williams, who had previously' held the lease of the strip. The land was sold to Mr Wallace under the usual conditions. He did not think that there was more than an acre in the strip. Mr. McMullen said that $175 for this pre- perty, which was within a stone's throtw of the electric railway, was too little. The transaction, unless satisfactorily explained, appeared suspicious. Mr. Dewdney said the price was consid- ered a very fair one. Mr. Wallace said 'Williams, the original holder of this land, was offered it at one- quarter what was actually paid for it, and refused it. Instead of buying the land he assigned the lease to the purchaser and present owner. The land was 40 or 50 feet wide at one end and ran to a point. It was not worth a dollar to the Government. The value was fixed at about four times as much as the original holder was asked, • and that price was paid. The purchaser paid at the rate of about $125 per acre. Mr. McMullen criticised the expenditures on account of Dominion lands, which, he said, were not warranted by the revenue derived. Last year the expenditure was $445,521, while the receipts from all sources were $462,302. The balance to the good of $16,800 was nob sufficient. Mr. Dewdney said that the revenue had not come up to the expectations of the Gov- ernment, but this was partly due to the fact that there was now due over $3,000,000 upen pre-emptions, upon which 6 per cent per ennum was being received. It was ex- pected that as a result of this bountiful har- vest a large part of this would be paid in. It had been considered best not to press the settlers too hard, but to give them a reason- able time within which to pay. Sir John Thompson said the committee were about to deliberate on their report, and in the meantime the evidence was being revised before being distributed. Sir John Thompson moved the House into committee on the bill to further amend the Dominion Elections Act. Section 2 was so amended as to provide that a petition against the return of a candidate must be filed within forty days after thepolling day, instead of thirty days after the declaration of the result of the polling. Mr. McCarthy moved an amendment to clause 10 of the Act providing that notice of petition must be served upon the respondent or reepondente personally within ten days eller the filing of petition, or if such service cannot be effected within that time, it may be done as the court or judge may direct. Mn 1VIc0arthy took eaception to clause 15, whith provides that when the court finds that the candidate *as guilty by his egent or agents of any offence that would render his election void, and when the court finds farther that the candidate was not cognizant of the offences, took precautions to prevent corrupt practices, and that the offences were trivitel, his election shell not be void, nor hall he be subjected to any disability there- fore, He (Mr. McCarthy) was not willing that the Election Act shortiel be made less stringent than it is in regard to bribery, arid moved an amend:ilea which would ex- cept bribery from the offences by agents for which a candidate should not be held ac- countable, The amendment was not accepted. Mr. Mulock moved the addition of the following clause " No greater council fee or feet Shall be taxed. as between party mad party in respect of their condition with trial than $50 ; when the trial shall can thate beyond one day a sum not exceeding $40 for each additional day the trial shall emitinue, whether one or more °easel 8110. be engaged at the triel, except at to such witness fees aud other actual disburse - oli 1"; Mr. Laurier said there was not the shadow of ground for the insinuation which ,had been thrown out. He regretted that -the last epealter had appealed to the national peejudice, of which there was already too much in this country. It was not because this men was in France that he was at- tacked. He was an immigration agent, attd posed as High Commissioner for Canada at Paris. There was not a shadow of jus- tification for the item. Mr. Foster said that it was not advisable' now that the year had been sterted, to do awe y with the office. He promised that during the recess the Govertuneht would look carefully into the matter with a view to ascertaining what steps should be taken. Arran RUMS. Mr. 'Mt:Mulled objeeted to the further ,expenditure of $10,050 upon the improve- ments at the Hot Springs reservation, near Beal station, N, W. T. The itern was passed. Sir Sohn Thompson moved the House into committee to consider his bill t� amend the Dominion Elections Act. Mr. Cemeron (Huron) criticised the clause providing the form of oath to he taken by the deputy returning officer, poll elerk, or ',agent before voting. The hill propeedl that the offieer should swear that "1 am actually entitled to vote for it member of the Hoese • of Continent for this electotal district at the present election, (Mr. Cameron) con- ordinary actions between party end party as iney he allowed by judgment or order of court allowing costs ; no greater sum (including counsel, fee) then $300 :shell be taxed or taxable against either party as costa in the cause." No decision was arrived at in this matter. AFTER names. The consideration of the Bill further to • amend the Dominion ElectionAct was re- sumed. Mr. McCarthy moved an amendment which would limit an appeal front the trial court to euestions of law alone. It did not meet with the approval of the committee. The committee rose and reported pro- gress. Mr. Kirkpatrick's bill. respecting the Rathbun Company was read a third time. The Renee again went into concurrence on the estimates. Mr. Charlton, when the item for the com- pletion of the Napanee post -office came up, moved in amendment that the appropria- tions for the erection of post -office builelings should be made on some uniform rate, hav- ing regard to the postal revenue of the town or city in which such building is to be erected, and where public convenience re- quires such Building, and where the import - &nee of the town where it is proposed to erect it warrants the expenditure. It was lost on division. The House adjourned at 11.35 p. m. What Pleases a Woman Most. To receive a new bonnet or dress when else did not expect it.

Melancholia, says a medical authority, is a grave disease, especially because of its strange and terrible tendency to induce :suicide and homicide. As the patient's reasoning processes seem to be perfectly clear, friends are seldom sufficiently on their guard. The danger is always present, how- ever, nor is the, highest degree of intelli- gence or of moral worth any safeguard against it, The New York Medical journal has a report of a lecture on the importance of recognizing melancholia in its earlier stage by Dr. Burnet, lecturer in the Kansas City Medical College, of which report we make free use. "There is a marked difference between sadness and melancholia," says Dr. Burnett. "In ordinary sadness there is a cause comprehensible to the individual, and he will seek to remove it. In melancholia there is no apparent cause; there is some implication of the higher faculties, and the patient is usually indifferent to his condi- tion, surroundings and future progress." There are several forms of the affection : Simple melancholia, melancholia agitate, melancholia attonite., and melancholia with stupor. The first two are the most difficult of recognition,and it is these that especially endanger the lives of the patient and his friends. The first important sympton of simple melancholia, is sleeplessness. Another sympton, of the greatest importance, is a dull pain in the back of the neck, extending to the back of the head. It is only within a few years that this symptom has been recognized. The third sympton is depression of spirits, accompanied by slower mental movements and retarded speech and actions. When the first and the last symptons are connected with pain in the neck the diagnosis may be considered as conclusive. In melancholia agitate, these three symp- toms are very marked, but it is not so diffi- cult to diagnose the disease, since the agita- tion is of itself a strong indication. These are generally terrifying hallucinations, an utter indifference to one's self and one's sur- roundings, aversion to food and inability to sleep, except under the influence of drugs. The propensity to take life may come on suddenly or be gradually developed. It is not uncommon to see melancholiacs whose morbid tendencies are first brought on by some suggestion. Every case of melancholia should at an early date be tea into the hauds of a com- petent physician, who can have the entire control of it. Bthjamin L. Peters, of St. john, N.

" His manner is worth a hundred thous - mad dollars to him 1" That is what ono of the chief men of the nation lately eaid. about a boy. "it wouldn't be worth an smell to one who meant to be a farmer, or who had no opportunities,but to a young college student with ambitions it is worth at least a hundred thousend." The boy was a distant relative of the man, and had iseen brought up by careful parents in a far off city. Amongother things he had been taught to be friendly and to think of other persons lsefere himselt The boy was on a visit in the town where the man lived. They met on the street, and the younger, recog- nizing the elder, promptly went to his side and spoke to him in his cordial, happy, yet respectful, way. Of course the man was pleased, and knew that anybody would have been pleased. The sentence above was ths outcome of it. A little latter the boy came into the room, just as the man was strug- gling into his overcoat. The boy hurried. to him, pulled it up at the collar and drew down the wrinkled coot beneath. He Would have done it for any man, the haughtiest or the poorest. The boy had not been in society a great deal. He has not learned orthodox selfishness. He posi- tively can't be eaey at the table until his neighbors are waited on. A. chair is torture if he thinks anyone else la less comfortably seated. He wouldn't interrept to let*loose the wittiest or the most timely remark ever thought of. He may leern to do so some day—after he has earned his hundred thousand—but it is doubtful. The expression of his nindlineas may become conformed to popular usage, modified, refined, but the spirit which prompts the expression will only grow with, his years. Do not misunderstand, boys, says the. Congregationalist. You may be truly =- selfish and yet not have this boy's prize. You inay wish to do things for others and, yet feel that you do not know how. The only way to learn is to try; to hesitate for no feeling of bashfulness or awkwardness, but to put into direct and instantaneous practice whatever kind, helpful thoughte occur to you. BC'S That Don't Sting. Be careful of your associations. Bad cotnpany ia not better than none at all. Be careful what you say. You eaai recall some things, but never spoken words. Be careful in your habits and in your dress. Neatness and good manners shouli be necessities. Be careful of your diet. Proper food e,nd drink have much to do with happiness. Be careful of your health. Money cannot buy it—.then why should you squander it ? —Bazar. Professor Tachinni, at Rome, has found that the marching of a regiment of soldiers 1 150 yards away was registered by an earth- quake apparatus located in the tower of the college at a height of 125 feet above the city. Even the African colonies are outdis- tancing Canada in the growth of population. A Principle in Decoration. The great trouble with folks is that when they attempt to arrange the mova,blearticles of a room—the bric-a-brac, pictures and such things—they don't know what they are after. They don't understand what I may, be permitted to designate the theory of arrangement; and results are consequently haphazard—sometimes good and sometimes bad. Now, the human, face preserves cer- tain defined rules of expression that can be literally followed in matters of house decoration. Thus : When the lines which form the mouth and eyes remain paeallel with the lines of the nose, then the face is in what I should call repose ; when the lines are lengthened te form downward angles, the face expresses joy; when lengthened to form upward angles, grief is depicted. Apply these principle to your home surroundings and the expres- sion will be the same. Straight lines, as well as curved lines, produce the effect of solidity, durability and support. This is a constructive axiom, accepted front the earliest ages. On this principle -wain- scotings, doors and mantels are built in straight and curved lines. But it would be manifestly wrong to furnish a mantel with ornaments, whose tops or proportions would give a rounding or straight effect, unless you desire such a room to be stiff and prim. Be Fought at Waterloo. General Wichcote has died, aged 97, the last English officer who fought at Waterloo. He was born in 1794. He fagged at Rugby for Macready, the actor. After serving on the Peninsula he was ordered with his regi- ment to New Orleans and actually sailed, but his ship was overtaken by a faster one with orders to return, in preparation for the struggle of the allies.
