The British government has sustain - sed a defeat by a majority of one on a priyate bill, and the present outlook for Earl Roseberry's. Cabinet is any- thing but assuring. Dissolution can• not long be delayed; indeed from the present appearance of things it may take place at any moment. The Radi- cals are pressing their demands for immediate action in regard to the House of Lords, The Irish Nationalists, vela have hitherto usually supported the Gladstonian policy, are diyided among themselves with little hope of .a reconciliation. A motion has been made to set apart ai day for discussing the veto of the House of Lords, with a view to its abolition. The government is not inclined to entertain the motion and a Cabinet meeting has been called to consider the situation. Conservative leaders are preparing to make a vig- erous attack on the government's pol- icy. .Any day may witness a defeat, followed by dissolution. YOU TAKE YOUR CHOICE. New Brunswick under a Liberal Premier, Hon..A. G. Blair, who would likely be one of 11Ir. Laurier's assist- ants if he should get into power, has bad her debt thus increased since Mr. Blair took office. 1884. L.... $1,471,146 1886 1,911,488 1888 2,106,200 1892 2,729,576 This means about doubled. When attaeked about this Mr. Blair's answer fast year was: "We had to increase the ...ebt because the Dominion Govern_ merit was not liberal enough in the way of bonuses to public works." • How beautifully this chimes in with the Grit attack upon the very same Dominion Government because it does spend money to aid public works in the various provinces. The other day, the Hon, Mr Haggart showed up the Grit pretensions to econ omy by quoting their campaign circu- lar puplished in Nova Scotia, in 1878. "The Liberal candidates should be elected because they support a Govern- ment which spent large sums of money an useful public works, because they support a Government which, during Eve weeks, have spent $1,877,794 upon public works in N. S., as against ouly $650.9S8 spent by the late Government in seven years. A Reform yearly ex penditure of $375,559, against a Tory yearly expenditure of $92,830. CLOSE OF THE BUDGET .DE- BATE. The debate in the House of Commons, which lasted a fortnight, was brought to a close on Friday last at 1.30 a m.— resulting in a majority for the gov- ernment of 56, not including three Conservative members who were ab- sent, and two who spoke with the Op- position but had not the courage to vote. These two last named were Dal- ton McCarthy and Col, O'Brien—who found it convenient to withdraw from the House when the voting took place The leader of the Opposition spent two flours in giving in graceful language Isis views on protection and free trade. He was followed by Dr. Montague of Haldimand, who paid particular at tention to Mr. McCarthy—showing the ratter inconsistency of that gentlemen and demolishing with scathing effect the arguments adduced by that "politi- cal acrobat." While the speaking talent on the Conservative side did great credit to those who took part •iu the debate, we might single out the speech of the Hon. C.A. Tupper, min- ister of Marine, in reply to Sir Richard Cartwright,—and also that of Dr. Mont- ague, in reply to Dalton McCarthy, as two of the ablest contributions on the discussion of the new tariff It will now be in order for the House in Com- mittee of the whole to make any alter- ations or amendments in the new tar- iff submitted by the Finance Minister —and, from certain remarks let fall by the Hon. Mr. Foster, in the course of de- bate, the tariff already submitted will undergo some slight modification sous to meet the views of all classes in the eomnxunity. Ab announced by Dr. Montague, in one of the happiest and ablest efforts ever made by a Common er, on the floor of parliament, the aim of the government has been to relieve the btinden of taxation from those least able ter bear it—to take away undue proteetion from those industries which bad got a fair start, and were better able now to exist than when first initi- ated—and/generally speaking, to leg- islate in the interests net of one class in the Community, but to subserve the interests of the greatest number of Ca - median people. The closing address on the budget was made by Col. Prior, M.P,fr Vis rs o to i. , in a fifteen , B.C minutes' speech --in which the colonel emphatically advocated protection AS a necessity for our young and thriving country The Finance Minister an n'anueed that certain additions would be made to the new tariff among which was a duty to be leyied of lis cents per pound un live hogs, so as to protect the farmers of Canada. Altogether the changes in the tariff will be such as to satisfy every reasonable demand, while. providing for the necessities of the pub- lic service. News of the Week in Brief, FRIDAY Apr11 I$th.

I could not read after sunset, and when I would close my eyes, I could not open them; but on whichever side I lay, on that side -I could open my eye. This condition. continued about two years, and was succeeded by An Intolerable Itching all over my body and limbs. I had to have my little boys take shoe brushes and scratch me. It was dreadful. It continued a month and was followed immediately by a tumor in the right side of my neck, as large as a small egg. I at once commenced taking physicians' prescrip- tions and continued till I lost hope. In the mean time the tumor changed its place to tho imme- diate front of my neck, suppurated and was fol- lowed ollowed lay others, till six had formed and broken. "Finally, three years ago,:another large tu- mor o,nor seated itself on the point of my collar bond and in six months another half way back on the bone.
