Now shall you find,here in Ottawa and throughout all the land, men vigorously denouncing and *defending the course that a certain septuagenarian politician has elected to take. With hot and bitter Words the Liberals demand to know why Sir Charles Tupper has not accepted the veedict of the people and has not sent in his resignation. To which the Conserva- tive replies that the Prime Minister has both precedent and reason on his side. He has precedent, for did not Alexander Mackenzie wait for twenty-nine days before he tendered his resignation in 1878? And, say these loyal adherents of a defeated cause, he has reason, because the time for the recounts has not elapsed, nor will elapse until Thursday next. I find in Ottawa that the looal Liberals are so much overjoyed at the unexpected • victory of their party that they spend not much thne in denouncing Sir Charles. But in Montreal and Toronto the men, who shortly will be the followers of the Government, are vastly enraged. Sir Charles must know of the strictures of • his enemies, the Liberals, but he never has been a man who was amenable to criticism. In his own judgment he has • the utmost confidence. It was only yes- terday, the day after his seventy-fifth birthday, that I encountered him in the corridor of one of the departmental build- ings. "I am, as you seo, in excellent health and spirits," said Sir Charles, who always uses the most exact English, "The events of the past few weeks have had no evil effect. I have just retprned front a conference with thereGovernor- General, in the course of which I gave His Excellency the first official notifica- tion of the turn that events have taken. His Excellency agreed that the Govern- ment would be justified in transacting the large amount of work that the ex- citement of the elections suffered to fall into arrears. His Excellency said that in justice to ourselves, we cannot afford to leave office with any business unful- filled." And Sir Charles resumed his trot down the corridor; a trot which, for the first time reminded me forcefully of the gait of the Little Premier, Sir Oliver Mowat Hard y's Day at Mast. And of this Little Premier we bear that he is soon to wear the pseudonym no longer. Arthur Sturgis .Elardy's day, long expected, has come at last, The Commissioner of Crown Lands is to be the head et the Government of Ontario, vice Mowat, translated. to. Ottawa. To fill the vacancy caused by Sir Oliver's retirement Hun. W. 11 Balfoar, Speaker of the Legislative Assembly, is to enter the Cabinet, while J. R. Stratton, of Peterborough, is mentioned as the most likely candidate for the post of peesiding officer of the Assembly. Sir Oliver, it is said, is to lead the Liberal forces in the Senate. A week ago Senator Road sue - climbed to a brief illness, and it was said that the Conservatives would fill the vacancy thus created -the only va- cancy in the Ontario Senatorships, Sir Charles Tupper assures me that the Gov- ernment never had any intention of fill. ing the vacant seat. It is well known to the outgoing Administration that Mr. Laurier desires the place for Sir Oliver, and to Sir Oliver the appointment will go. Already there is a little rift within the Liberal lute. Senator Scott for years has been the leader of the Opposition in the Upper Chamber. His friends in the Capital have worked stremmusly to se- cure for him a place in the new Cabinet, but they have been told that the claims of other aspirants aro too weighty. Mr. Scott is an Irish Roman Catholic, and in previous A.dnainistrations the people of that extraction and that faith always have had a representative in the Cabinet. The untamed orator, Charles R. Devlin, of Wright, Quebec, is rnaking a strong canvas for the place, but he has rivals whose claims are being urged by men with the indispensable pull. The chances of Senator Scott's getting the ,-place are nil. Mr. Fitzpatrick, who will sit for a Quebec riding, is Devil's most active opponent Laurier ill Mon treal. It is contingencies like this that are• bringing sleepless nights to Wilfrid Lau- rier, the premier that is to be, Since the day of the elections Mr. Laurier has not visited Ottawa, nor will he come here until he is commanded so to do by his Excellency. To tho Windsor in Monteeal have flocked scores of faithful Liberals. Some have gone on their own account; others have made the journey in order that they might the more thoroughly ad- vance the cause of their nominee to the Cabinet. In his private parlor, with the faithful though defeated Israel Tarte on the one hand and the astute jim Suth- erland on the other, Mr. Laurier has welcomed many a visitor. To the inquir- ing and able gentlemen orthe press who have called on him the Liberal leader has presented an aspect of polite taciturn- ity. His lieutenant Sutherland has . been more talkative. His it always has been to adjust the differences which have arisen from time to time in the ranks oa the Liberals, as they will and mutt rise in any political, or rather, any partisan body. It was with this duty in his mind that Sutherland delivered him- self thus on Saturday last : - "There are men with excellent claims who, nevertheless, in the nature of things, cannot be, provided with port- folios. Sectionalism, unhappily, has to be taken iuto account Mr. Laurier, hew - ever, has a pretty good notion of the men he can depend upon; but I know for a fact that no places have yet been as- signed. If Mr. Laurier were called upon at this moment to fman an A.diniuistra- - tion he would not be in a position to do so. That is to sea, he could not name his Ministry offhand to the Governor- General. He has simply had all the lead- ers of districts and provinces around • bim; there has been a general consulta- tion, which bas cleared the way for the ultimate formatio u of the Cabinet. He • has been quite candid with his friends; has' asked thele opinions; and for the past few days it may bo said with truth that we have been having a family coun- cil. But I can assure you, all reports to the contrary notwithstanding, that noth- ing definite is yet known as to the posi- tion of any naan in the new Ministry."e Row Things Go at Ottawa. As I write, early in the week, there is no indication of the time when the new Premier shall assume office. The old Ministers hold daily Cabinet meetings. The Governor-General, none too well " eae pleased at being oompelled to eschew the delights of the salmon -haunted Res tigouche, drives about Ottawa in a cab, for his own carriages are at Quebec And down the corridors comes echoing the sound of hammer on nail, as th personal belongings of the Ministers ar boxed up by their private messengers The meetings of Council must be of th most completely routine character, for the Premier daily assures the correspond - exits that he has no tidings for them. The Liberals eagerly await the report of each day's meeting, for eaoh day may be th last before their culminating triumph From the ends of the country a few new members stray in, and stray up to the main building, there to pick out theix seats in the House. Already the names o the Conservative leaders have been trans ferred to the desks at the left of the Speaker. The elder Tupper and George Eulas Foster will be together in adversity as they were in the days that precede the Government's fall. Caron, still the Conservative leader from Quebec, sits to the right of Sir Charles. He will be in Opposition a more important man than he was when in power. It was only on Friday last that the ex -Postmaster -Gen- eral and Sir Charles had the interview that brought about a complete resump- tion of friendly feeling. Slime the days of April last, when the immaculate knight was ousted that room might be made for the unsuccessful Millen, there has been no strongly -marked feeling of mutual regard. How signal was Caron's revenge! Wilma Desjardins and Angers all were defeated, while he, the outcast, carried Three Rivers triumphantly. In the days of his adversity no man oould have behaved more pluckily than did Sir Adolphe. I met him the day after the new Cabinet had been formed. I knew that he could ill afford • to relinquish office, and I expected to detect some acerb- ity in his remarks, I was wrong. "The Administration has been reconstructed," said Sir Adolphe, "and I have no com- plaint to make. I am still a loyal sup- porter of the Government, and au out- and-out believer in the policy of the Conservative party. I shall go into Quo - bee and do the best I can to aid in the return of the Administration." How the Bleus Take It. , Since the night of June 23 I have found no Conservative who takes the Government's defeat so much to heart as do the Bleus. These Frenoh-Canadians, many of them ultramontanes, pinned their confidence to the Churoh. Now, even to myself, an English-speaking Protestant, they speak vehemently of the "treachery of the bishops," as they term Ib. Than Emanuel Tessa sometime ed- itor of Le Canada, there it no better known French jouenalist in Canada. He was still indignant when I met him in Montreal the other day. "It was the Mon- day that did it," said, he., "On Sunday the priests were with us, the Conserva- tives. On Monday I know that nine - tenths of the parish priests in Quebec received notice from their bishops that they were to swing around. And they did awing around." "But," said I, "what was the reason for their ohange of front?" "It was simply this," returned Mr. Tasse. "The bishops saw that the cry 'Give us a French Premier' was going to carry Quebeo. They decided that, at all hazards, the Ghana must be on the winning side, and they countermanded their instructions to the cures I do not believe that they ever were thoroughly with the Government: Their mandement was a milk and water affair. In place of telling the French-Canadians to vote only for the candidates who would sup- port remedial legislation, why did they not tell the people to oast their ballots for the candidates of the Government that had attempted to pass a remedial bill and that stood pledged to inscribe a remedial law on the statute books?" These are the opinions of a thoroughly representative Frenoh-Canadian. Mr. Tasse says that his English-speaking partymates are justified in denouncing the people of Quebec. Laurier, he asserts, will not be able to keep his Government together for two sessions. There are too many French, he says, and the internal bickerings will be too frequent for it to be possible for the Liberals to retain power. All of wbich opinions are Mr. Emanuel Tasse's, and not mine. I give them because I know they will bo of in- terest to the readers of these independent letters. trhe Quotidien on the School Question. It may be remembered that in this correspondence last week Mr. Laurier's latest announcement concerning the ever recurring subject of the Schools of Man- itoba a -as mentioned. The Liberal chief- tain had Fetid that the matter would be settled on the floor of parliament. The Quotidien, of Levis, a Liberal paper, pub- lished the other day whatpurported to be the outline of Mr. Laurier's plan of ad- justment "His intention is," says the Quotidien, "to obtain at Borne the ap- pointment of a Papal nuncio who, with Sir Oliver Mowat, Mr. Greenway and Mr. Laurier, will form a conamiseion of inquiry and draft a remedial bill sat- isfactory to all, which will be passed within six months." I venture to doubt the authenticity of the Quotidien's in- formation. The intension of the repre- sentative of ally foreign power, whether national or ecclesiastical in this or any other Canadian case, would set the coun- try ablaze. Mr. Laurier is too astute and too well advised a politician to make any such error. Personally, I believe that Mr. Greenway will arrive at some settle- ment with the new Premier. When, in February last, Messrs. Desjardens and Dickey and Sir Donald Smith visited Winnipeg, Premier Greenway offered to do either of two things. He would secu- larize the schools completely, or he would allow the trastees to set apart a certain time for religious instruction after school hours on specified days of the week-. The idea was that in school Sections peopled largely by Roman Cath- olics, the parish priest would be allowed to give religious instruction on ono or two of these days, while the Protestant clergymen might choose the remaining periods. There exists little doubb here in Otiawa that Mr. Greenway will renew this offer, and that Mr. Laurier will ask parliament to accept it. That, I think, te what he meant by statiag that the &been question would be settled on the 1100r. o parliament. Certain irreconcilable Baena Canadians would vote against Accepting Greenway's offer. Every Eng- lish-speaking Protestant in the House, irrespective of party, would support it. These gentlemen would. say, "The Pre- mier oe the province says he is satisfied; the Government of Canada. is Satisfied; by adopting this settlement the question is forever removed from the arena of Federal politics, for, once we pass this bill, the matter is beyond our purview." True. there will come a strenuous pro- test from Archbishop Langovin on the one side and from D'Alton MoCarthy on the other. But neither from his' Grace of St. Boniface nor from the ettuely op. • 0 ponents of sectarian schools will the Laurierear s Government have aught to ex - peat. Their protests will fall on deaf The Trade Question. And what of the trade quest on? Un- questianably there exists in the manu- facturing community a certain feeling of unrest, a feeling that lafr. Laurier is doing his best to allay. The other day be wrote to a Toronto firm assuring them that "the tariff will not be incon- siderately tampered with, but due consid- eration will bo given to all interests. would like also to impress upon the bus- iness connnunity that no hasty .ohange is to take place and that no opportunity should be lost of developing trade In every direction during the coming sea- son." Whaewill Sir Richard have to say to this? The old knight has an- nounced repeatedly that the National Policy --otherwise, Protection -must be wiped out. But, when parliament meets, Sir Riehard may have experienced a change of heart -or he may not have ex- pressed the sentiments of the new Gov- ernment. As I have said before, Sir Rich- ard wili enter the Laurier Government as Finance Minister, but he will not re- tain the position long. It is undetstood by him that if he so elect, he can bays the High Commissionership. And if he decline, he will become a private mem- ber of parliament. William Paterson, of Brant. is the man upon whom Laurier, Sutherland and Mowat have settled as the second Minister of Finance in the second Liberal Government of Canada. Reward Declined. In the dying days of their supremacy the Conservative Ministers sought to re- ward, in some way, two or three of their faithful adherents. It was then that Robert Birmingham, the man. whoni Sir John Macdonald set at the helm of the Conservative ship in Ontario, was offered the post of superintendent of the Rideau canal. Mr. Birmingham, from mixed motives, declined the offer. A well grounded fear ,that the incoming administration might demand his resig- nation gave the first ground for his de. eigi0/1. Also, had he accepted this situa- tion, which is worth but twenty-four hundred dollars a year, he would have been compelled to relinquish the Cerand Secretaryship of the Orange order. From the faithful followers of William the Third Mr. Birmingham receives fifteen hundred dollars a year. He elected to stay by the Conservative ship. He knew that is resignation would please his erstwhile friend and present enemy, Clark Wallace. He knew also that the Liberals would have Touch pleasure in demanding his resignation as soon as they might come into power. Therefore it was that the astute Birmingham preferred the bird in the hand • to the problematical two in the bush. The history of the Grand Sallee- tary will never be wribten, for it will die with its subject. To Canadians it would make most interesting reading. Should he desire, Robert Birmingham could tell us of that inoident in Ottawa when he. Sir John Macdonald and the late C. W. Bunting discussed the Mail's desertion of the Conservative party. It was at that interview that Sir John fin- ally became the absolute dictator of the ministerial organization. The Empire was edited from Ottawa. The editorial writers were constantly in receipt of in- structions from the powers at the Capi- tal. The Mail had never been such an organ. Christopher W. Bunting always knew his own mind and always carried out his own views. It was not this char- acteristic that caused him to alienate himself from the party. The Empire never took the Mail's place, and the Mail, since its return to the post of chief Conservative organ has been in- effective and 'weak. Virtually, in On- tario. during the campaign that has passed the administration had no organ. The Liberals were much better provided .for. Laurier in Command. It was early this week that Sir Charles, summoning his carriage, drove out to Rideau hall and there yielded up office. Not three hours had elapsed before Wil- frid Laurier, who had been waiting at Montreal was summoned to Ottawa. As I write, the comporation of the new min- istry bas not been settled. Mr. Laurier has asked his Excellent*, to permit a pro- rogation of two or three weeks atter the sixteenth inst., the date originally set for the summoning of parliament. The request has heen acceded to. Meanwhile the Conservatives, well-nigh ninety strong in a House of two hundred and thirteen members, go into the fight with much confidence. Undoubtedly they will present capable opposition. Against them they will have rangecl a strong ad- ministration. The battle that this session should bring forth shonld be one fit for gods to witness. NOTES OF THE DAY. France proposes to follow Italy's example and tax the income from the Government bonds. Amerioan ebony is one of the heaviest weeds known, weighing 83.18 pounds to the cubic foot. The Bank of England has ' 1,600 officials on its rolls, and 1,000 clerks. If a clerk is late three times he receives a warning, and the fourth time ho is dis- oharged at once, Lander, Wyo.,• a town of nearly 2.000 inhabitants, enjoys the distinction of being the furthest removed from a rail- way of any incorporated town in the United States. Gen. Sir John Adye, in pleading that old soldiers should be employed in the postal service of Great Britain, says that about 15,000 men every year return from the army to civil life at an average age of 26. Cincinnati wheelmen are making strenuous efforts to have an ordinanee passed which shall regulate the sprinkling of streets. It is suggested that "a path three feet wide shall be left at either side of the street." A Metal Varnish. To varnish iron and steel, dissolve ten parts of clear grains of mastic, five parts of (=umber, fifteen grains of sand- raeh and five of elemi, in a sufficient quantity of alcohol, and apply this var- nish without heat. The articles will not only be preserved from rust, but the var- nish will retain its transparency, and the naetallio brilliancy of the artielee will not be Impaired. 'A. Race Refresher. To refresh the face when tired and weary after a days' outing or traveling it is a mistake to plunge the face into cold water, which really acts as an irritant whereas tepid water produces quite a contrary effect. After vvatiting off the dust on face and ears a little buttermilk, or, failing that, rose-water dabbed on will heal and whiten the skin and take away all feeling of irritation. EVENTS IN HAMILTON.

Whitby, Ont., July 12. -The North Ontario recount developed much more exciting incidents than simply the pre- siding judge's ruling as to ballotsmarked non the oblong spec°, of whieh there were not a few for both candidates. .As the mount proceeded it was discovered that the ballots had been tampered- with since the official cuunt at Beaverton, on July 6th last, when Returning Officer Thos.

In five polling subdivisions ballots that on election night had been counted for Mr. Graham and so certified by the deputies and scrutineers had disappeared, and others marked for Major McGillivray substituted. The fraudulent ballots were not initialled, nor had they been folded. Judge Burnham rejeeted these spurious ballots, but as the genuine ones that had been marked for Mr. Graham were not of course in evidence he could do nothing but report the vot ) fax Major McGilliv- iay 2,344, for Mr. Graham 2,384, rejected ballots, including the 21 fraudulent ones, 36. Major McGillivray expressed a wish ,to resign forthwith when the fraudulent ballots were discovered, but his (lounge', Mr. A, B. Aylesworbh, dissuaded him.

When they returned in the evening they found the unfortunate girl lying on the floor, suffering terribly. Dr. Hall, of Lit- tle Britain, was sent for, and when he arrived the girl was in a comatose state, and it was with difficulty she could be aroused. In answer to the doctor she stated that she had taken a large dose of 'elate, but the symptoms did not indicate that the salts had been used. The doctor pressed her to give a clear answer as to the medicine she had really taken, when she confessed she had taken powered saltpetre, which was kept in the cup - boatel with the salts. When asked why she had done so, she replied that she wished to end her life, as she was no good, and tired of living. She died about 12.30 the same night. Freight Agents in Session. Kingston, July 10. -The Committee on Classification in connection with the Freight Agents' Association. continued its session this morning. and the Com- initte on Bureau Freight Inspection also held a meeting.

RHEUMATISM'S VICTIMS AFTER SPASMODIC EFFORTS FOR A CURE USUALLY- GIVE UP. There Is One Medicine What Has Cured Thousands After other Medicines Had Failed --A Released Sufferer Adds His Strong Endorsation of This vroaderfai Remedy. From the Trenton Courier. What an innocent sounding name ham rheumatism, and yet how terrible a real- ity to the thousands who suffer with 11. Doctors agree that rheumatism results from poison of and deposits in the blood, but as to just bow they can be reached and eradioated, it would seem that their knowledge fails. The usual treatment is a long series of medicines which may give texuporary relief, but do not our, and then the patient 'usually gives up, thinking that there is no medicine that will cure him. This is a mistake. Rheu- matism is not a necessary evil, and because one is growing old • it is not Im- perative that one should accepb rheuma- dam as a natural accessory to advancing yeahe There is a remedy for rheumatism despite the general belief that it cannot be cured -a remedy that has cured thou- sands of the most severe oases. A noted instance of the truth of this assertion which has just oorae to the knowledge of the editor of the Courier, is the case of Robert Franais, Esq., formerly of Tren• ton, now retired from business in Rat Portage, Ont., and still residing there. He has been a victim of rheumatism for over three years. Last winter he visited his friends in Trenton and was then con- templating a laslt to the south in searoh of relief from his constant foe. He had to use a staff in walking and went at a slow pace. This Christmas he was here again on a visit to his friends, sraarb and erect and without the stick or the sor- rowful look of a year ago. His friends and acquaintances all accost him as a new man and oongrathlate him on his healthy, fresh and. active appearance in contrast with a year ago. He has cheer- fully and gratefully given the following statement of his efforts after a ours. "My home is at Rat Portage, Ont,where for years 1 was engaged in business and where I still reside. For three years I have been a great sufferer from rheuma- tism. I tried several highly recommend ed remedies to no purpose'as I continued. to grow worse till it was difficult for me to walk. I was for thirteen weeks 0011 - lined to my bed at home and in the Win- nipeg hospital. I was then induced to try the Mount Clement Springs. I took six courses of baths of twenty-one baths each without any seemingly beneficial result. I read of several cures in the Courier from Dr. William's Pink Pills for Pale People, and friends who used them with benefit to themselves urged me to try them. I did so mid after a short time I felt an improvement in my oondition. I have taken twelve boxes in all and my improvement has been continuous and satisfactory, so that I need the cane no longer and I have increased my weight from 140 pound e to 175 by the use of Pink Pills. I am not entirely free from rheumatisiti but I am a new man, one thousand per cent better than I was a year ago and I attribute my health en- tireln to Dr. William's Pink Pills." Dr. William's Pink Pills strike at the root ofa the diseaeo, driving it from the system and restoring the patient to health and strength. In cases of paraly- sis, spinal troubles, locomotor ataxia, sciatica, rheumatism, erysipelas, scroful- ous troubles, eto., these pills are super- ior to all other treatment. They are also a specific for the troubles which make the lives of so many women a burden, and speedily restore tbe rich glow of health to pale and sallow cheeks. Men broken down by overwork, worry or excesses, will find in Pink Pills a certain cure.

TORONTO. Toronto, July 11, -There were quite 80 loads of offerings In the market this morning, and trade all around was terri- bly dull. Fax anything but the best butchers' cattle prices were weaker, and the demand, both for shipping and ex- port cattle'was light. The laest prate paid fax shipping cattle was 3%o, and no one seemed to care to buy at all. • The recent bad break in the 01(1 Country markets has quite demoralized the shipping trade. In butchers' cattle the little really choice stuff here sold at from $3.12% to $3.50 per 100 pounds, but ordinary good cattle sold at 82.71 and 8e.80, with 83 as the outside figure for loads.
