Mr. Devitt thermal the Opposition lead- ers 'with making rookiess and illogioal Statements when dtseussing the tariff question. They timid tut agree even in , eheir estimation ot the amount of taxes Which they assorted had boon taken out of the pockets eof the people for the purpose of enrithieg the inauuntotterear, and. a dieter. Mee of leaf a initiate was apparently esteemed a very sinall matter indeed. The Liberals hail aslopted policy after policy, and discarded it again when it proved bar - rim of the results hovel for. When the Liberals talked about how they would have oat down expenses, how =expendi- ture had exceeded what it should have been, and what it was in 1878, he would like them to explain how they would have °oust:acted the publio works which now ooyered this country from one end of the Dominion to the other, and where they Would have got the money to do this, Mr. Montague said the debate to which House of °mention% aceading M the Ilan - (lard report, ono of the most prominent members of that body trade the etatemene that $1,200, Q00,000 of British capital Were driven for investment into, foreign Qom - tries, and the reason assigned was that Me- Money bad. gone abroad to got beyond theresell. of hostile tariffs, because it could not bo invested in England to supply other countries with products. On the lath Pebruaey last it, resoluttoe was passed une animously by the Imperial House, &clan- ing that in the opinion of the House it was incumbent upon her 1Viajosty's Gov- ernment, in the interest of the industrial classes of the United Kingdom, to take steps M reetriet the importation of goods made in foreign prisons by conviets and felon labour. Another evidence ot the change in British sentiment was to be found in the utterance recently made by Mr. Chamberlatn as follows :—" There are a number a people, and I think an in- creasing number, who under the present confations of trade are coming to the con- clusion that our free nettle policy has been a failure, and would therefore be ready to go back in titae direction, of protection." There could em no doubt, Mn Montague said, taking up ea:other branch of the sub- ject, that while there was widespread de- pression in the worldn he depression in the the House has been listening for the past United Stales was meltiplied a hunared- number of days has taken a very wide fold by the unceittainty which existed with range, and although the members on this regard to the tariff of that eountry, and a side of tho House who have already spoken second cause was on account of the in— have given, a vory complete answer to the creased importations in consequence of the points whit% have been urged by hon. tariff reductions made.

SUPERANNUATION ACT.

It was proposed to raise the ed showing also that while hon. gentlemen Period to fifteen years, so that a civil ser - opposite might not liave changed their vent must serve that term before he came poliey, they had changed its name. Now under tho Civil Seryiee Superannuation they, called it a tariff for revenue only wleich being interpreted meant the system they had in England, just as sure as they were sitting there to-cla,y. There was to be no incidental protection, because, if so, it would have been mentioned. They never heard. Sir Richard Cartwright say anything in favour of incidental protec- tion, and Mr. Laurier said that "not a vestige of protection shall remain." At the Ottawa convention he had said :—I call upon one and all to pronounce and give your empbatie support to the proposition that we shall never rest until we have wiped out from our system every trace of that fraud and robbery under which Cana- dians suffer. But reading Sir Richard Cartwright's resolution and speeches, he asked what they could mean but the English system af tariff as explained by the leader of the Opposition. Another view was that of his naerow-gange friend, Mr. McMullen, who said the people wanted to be left alone, Mr. Edwards advocated the removal of beef duties, and said the farm- ers were not protected. What, therefore was to be understood to be the Liberal policy? Certainly the country understood It, and every man in the House who ap- plied fair judgment to it understood, as Mr. Davies had declared, that their next fight would be free trade versus protec- tion. He (Mr. Montague) gave notice to the industries of the country, to the men who had invested their money, and to the toiling thousands, supplying their wives and children with bread, that if ever these children got into power the hand of the spoiler would be on them, and that spoil- er wouldbe Bee:hard Cartwright. They had also the -warning uttered by the Trade Bulletin on Febrtuy 15, 1895, Nvhich said that the introduction of a policy based on British free trade would be disastrous, and might lona the country in a pit from ,4 which it would take years to emerge. Proceeding, the hon. gentleman quoted from different authoeities showing the disastrous condition of agriculture in Grant Britain, No matter how good or bad the harvest was them, the market was al- ways so poor that the farmers could not hope for much profit. He had now to Say In regard to what had been urged by Lib- eral speakers that in Great , Britain no farmer mild bo found who was not a pro- teetioniet, so fat as this industry Was con- cerned; and ftirthen that Great Britain's pollee was carried, not by -the votes of the fathers, but by the very stiengest support pf the manufacturers, who contributed /largely to the campaign funds of .the Cob- den Club, and succeeded in getting it adopted in spite of the einal population. Ho made this anther assertion, that every ptotective fight that had been won in the makets of the world had been won large - /3r by the influence of the farmers. In 18/8 the victory for a poteetive tariff and the defeat of the Liberal Goya/Intent were at- taibuteable to the votes of the, agricultur- al class, who desired to retain their oven markets for themselvesomd the expansion of those markets that they might have a better opportemity of selling their prod -dots From the repoit of the English CoriSal resident in Berne, it wotild appeat that Germany was gaining or Groat Britain in supplying matitifitetured articles to the Markets of the world at the rate of ten to one, During reeoat debate in the British Act. Sir Richard Cartwright asked. the Fi- nance Minister to explain the meaning of the clause giving the Governor -in -Council power to exempt certain. classes. This was an invidious power the House should not place in the hands of any body but it- self. Mr Foster replied thee the meaning of the clause coulee not be more clearly stated than it had. been, The object was to take power at any time to diminish the extent of the application of superannuation inre- geed to any class to whom it might here- after be thought that superannuation should be applied. The bill was read a first Mine. HONOURS ON CANADIANS. MaLa,nderlein ask( d whether his Excel- lency the Governor-in-Couneil makes any recommendations to the Imperial Govern- ment with respect 10 the coeferrieg of Imperial honours on Canadians. If not, do suoh moommenclations emanate from his Excellency personally? Mr. Foster—I may say, in answering, that Parliament some years ago, antici- pating some such request as this, made provision for it,and that it supalied mem- bers of Parliament with copies of "Parlia- mentary Government in the Colonies,"on pages 314 and 315 of which Lord Elgin's despatch to the Colonial Seastary,at that tine the Duke of Newcastle, will give to the hon. gentleman full information, and I hope will be very helpful to him in the request he has made. LORD'S DAY OBSERVANCE. Mn Charlton ixtoved the House again into conantittee on the bill to secure better observance of the Lord's day, commonly called Sunday. He was willing to drop the station relating to Sunday excursions and prohibiton thereof hi view of the gen- eral hostility to it. The object of the bill, he repeated, Was not to compel religious Observance, but to permit it. Mr. Ainyot said tlie bill was pure intol- erance,and the hon. gentleman wanted to use the Protestant niajority, Mn Ballard opposed the bill, arguing that Sunday observance was it matter for whit% provision was heady made by pro- vincial legislation. He did not believe men could be rendered vie:teens by Acts of Parliament. Mr. Masson proposed to amend the Manse relating to the publioa ion of news- papers on Sunday by confining the distria bution of religious publications on the Lord's day to churches and Sunday Schools. The amendment as rdopted. Sir Charles H. Tupper declared his ap- proval of the object of the promoter, but riot of the prineiple at the bill. • Mr. Montague thought some of tlie Sunday newspa,pe s that earn() into Can- ada from the United States were of a most villainous and sensational character, and. capable of poisoning the minds of youth, and yet DO effort was made to ptevent their lutroduetion.

In the past, theaters hed been granted to penniless persons who d.esireti to make money out of them, and when porsoes really invested capital in these enterprises they found no money had been spent in construction at all, Mr. Tisdale pointed out if Mr. Kulock hacl taken the trouble to examine tho in- formation filed with ehe Railway Com- mittee, according to law, he would have been able to inform himself of the facts, the absence of whisth he now deplored, Mr. Mulook said he asked the Minister of Railways for information concerning ntitoeenterprise, and was told that he had ne Mr. Lister thought Mr. Mulock merited the gratitude of the House for bringing this matter to the attention of the House. This Government had been reckless in the ext ome in granting railway oharter,s. Mr. Sproule observed, that Parliament had been in the habit of granting too lib- eral bonding powers, and althugh at- tention had been drawn to it in the past, the praetice was still pursued. VOTERS' LIST. On the item of $40,000 to pay for the expenses of revision of the voters' list, Mr. Mills said the Government had not only Mourned an enormous expenditure,whiela woula be altogether unnecessary if a dif- ferent franthise system were adopted, but they had increased the expenditure beyond what the statute warranted. In several instances two revising officers had been appointed for the same constituency, a course for whit% the law gave no warrant whatever. Mr. Denison pointed out that $150,000 was taken for the payment of judges. Would Mr. Mills advocate that the judges should not be paid? Mr. Mills believed the municipal au- thorities ought to do the work, as they did for seventeen years, and no person com- plained of any abuse. Sir Charles H. Tupper contended that Mr. Mills could not And it precedent for bis course in the proceedings of the British House, and even in this Parliament it was very rarely that a junior rnember would take up it subject in the way the hon. member for Bothwell had, TOLD WHAT SHE THOUGHT OF HER. But She Didn't Have the Satisfaction of Knowing What she was doing. When the ear stoped at Spadina Avenue and. Bloor street a stout matronly -looking woman, with her arms full of bundles, got on. She dropped one of the bundles» as she did so and another portly female picked it up for her; their eyes met and a confused look of recognition came into them. "It's a nice day," tentatively remarked the woman who hail picked up the bundle. "Yes, indeed. I declare, your face is so familiar, I must have met you some- where." . "That's just what I was thinking. Al ehucrh, maybe, or some kind of a meet, ing." "Yes, or a funeral. Say, I believe it was at Mrs. Walker's funeral, on St. Georg( street." "So it was; I hayen't seen you since. Been to see the Walkers lately?" "No, I haven't. My nurse girl up and left me and I haven't had a minute's time to myself." • "That's too bad.

The habit of thoroughness in housekeep- ing leads one to keep rooms in good order and the table beautifully appointed. I know a girl who says that she takes d'n.reat pains with her room whenever she thinks her aunt Mary is coming to see her be- cause Aunt Mary's sharp eyes diseover every speck of dust and observe every trifle that is in the least out of caller. Aunt Mary is it bit of a critic and her niece a little afraid of her comments. In other words, the aunt has made a coward of the girl. I do not like the idea of being in bondage to anybody whether an aunt or a stranger. It would seem to 3310 a, far better way to feel that one must answer to one's self, and that one would not feel satisfied -unless she could look her- self in the glass and say: "There, every- thing is done in the best possible manner and you. cannot find any fault with me to day. Try to, if you, dare!" I wonder whether you are particular to write notes of thanks very soon after re- ceiving gifts or acts of courtesy? The value of a note of thanks is greatly in- creased by its being prompt. If some friend leaves a bunch of violets at your door and you fail to acknowledge it until the flowers bave faded, your thanks when they do come are tardy. When flowers are sent to those who are ill tbey of coarse cannot repay the courtesy by a little note themselves, but some one in the family should do it for them. Your note of thanks should be very genial, showing that you are really pleased by the kind at- tention and happier because of it. Do not be afraid to Nvrite warmly and cordially on such occasions. lf stiff and formal you are unjust both to your friend and your- self.—From Harper's Round Table. Gen. Ouster's Last Fight. June 25th, Custer struck Sitting Bull's main trail and eagerly pursued it across the divide into the Little Big Horn Val- ley. Expecting battle, he detached Major Reno with seven of his twelve companies, to cross the Little Big Horn, descend it, and strike the foe from the west; but Reno was soon attacked and held at bay, being besieged in all more than twenty- four hours. Meantime, suddenly coming upon tbe lower end of the Indian's int mense camp, the gallant Custer and is braves, without an instant's hesitation, ad- vanced into the jaws of death.
