Death of the Patron Movemen t--aIttch Talk and Little Work—Sir Qbaries Tupper Dined --.Export Duty on Saw Logs and Pulp Wood. [nom Our Own Correspondent.] Ottawa, June 15.—Crowds have wel- comed Mr. Whitney in his tour through Western Ontario. The Conservative leader was not well known in the western dis- tricts before his reoent tour. Doubtless curiosity brought many a man to his meetings; his well put arguments made hundreds a converts. The feeling in the province is all in favor of a change. Thousands of citizens who would have Toted for any Governinent headed by Sir Oliver Mowat now announce that they Age- 'will not hold themselves bound to vote for Sir Oliver's successor. A. S. Hardy, has made several very SeriollS mistakes since his elevation to the Premiership. His action regarding the Engledue Min- ing Company has laid him open to the very strongest adverse oriticisna. The hanky-panky manipulation of the budget has at last been detected by the people and everybody now knows that the Gov- ernment of Ontario is in debt, and not In possession of a smplus, although this unwarrantable claim is made. Mr. 77lait- ney, Col. Matheson, Mr. Magwood and - the other gentlereen wbo have participated in the trip have found that the people are aware of the dishonesty of the On- tario Government in its attempts to make them believe that the affairs of the province have not been conducted in a hand-to-mouth manner. They know well that the present system must end In bankruptcy, and they are detain -lathed to give the Conservatives a chance of showing what they can do as stewards for the people. Quebec, as a result of Liberal rule, is bankrupt, Nova Scotia is in much the Fame condition. Grcen- way has raised Manitoba's debt; from less than a million to four ;millions. The Liberal governments of these provinces are looking to the people of Ontario to get tbera out of the hole. They remem. ber that at the famous Quebec °maven - ton of Liberal premiers there was moved and carried a resolution pledging the Liberals, if they attained power at Ot- tawa, to secure an increase of tho Fed- eral subsidy to the several proviaces. Mr. Laurier now has a government at Ottawa, and he already has obliged Premier Murray of Nova Scotia by hand - ng over a million and a half to him in yment for certain roads which are etleged to be of Federal importance. On- • tario's people have to pay the major part et of this sop to Mr. Murray. Doubtless Ontario will have to oontribute some- thing to Quebec in the near future. If Ontario continues to have a Liberal 'Government she will be tit the beck and call of the Liberal ringsters at Ottawa. Her wealth is the envy of the people of the poorer provinces. By electing a Con- servative administration the people of the province will be protecting themselvea against Mr. Laurier's esteemed friends, Messrs. Tarte, Murray and Co. If Mr, Hardy be again entrusted with the duty of forming a government the men in power at Ottawa will force him to acknowledge his indebtedness to them, for, in the coming canmaign the Fed- eral officials will be expected io aid their friends the Ontario Ministers. The Lib- erals will go into the conflict with this in their favor, but against thein will be the overwhelming sentiment of the oom- 'nanny. Here in Ottawa the Federal Liberals are assured that Mr. Hardy will be defeated. "If Hardy had taken a snap election last month he would have pulled through all right," said an On- tario Liberal to me the other day, "but now his goose is cooked. He has not half the chance that he had three months ago. Another session of the Legislature will about finish bis government." This is the belief of a Iman who takes his politics very soberly; a man who is a consistent Liberal, but who will not wia- fully blindfold his eyes just because there is that before them which he does not wish to see. Death of the Patron Movement. The death of the Patron movement means that the Conservatives will gain the votes of many anti -Government citi- zens of the province. Every vote cast for •a Patron in '94 was a vote against- Sir Oliver Mowat's administration. It was a vote showing dissatisfaction with the j present order of things, a vote intended ••‘•e• to show the Liberal Government that the man who cast it was against them. The •successful Patron candidates, with three or four exceptions, bave allowed them- selves to be bamboozled by the members of the Government, They have done little good in the House and have lost caste In the country. The general elections of last year showed that to be the case. In place of the thirty or forty Patron mem- bers that the Grand officers of the order talked so sanguinely about there are four Patrons in the House of Commons here. Whenever the next provincial elec- tion may wan% on, it is a certainty that the contest will be between the old • , parties, with the Patrons out of sight. The vast majority of the men who voted Patron last time will now vote Conserva- • tive. They know that things are worse, • not better that they were in •91. Their discontent still exists, and they believe that the nainisters have come to regard themselves in the light of dictators who ba-ve a prescriptive right to Ail° Ontario. Mr. Horde is shivering in his boots. He fears that his time has come. Mr. Early Is ening out of polities, for he knows that there is little left for him. Col. Gib- son and Mr. Dryden atone are half -san- guine. They hone -the name of Sir Oliver will pull them through. • Col. Gibson hates Hardy, and is ready to back Hon. • G. W. Ross for Premier. The council chamber is the scene of frequent squab- blepea ,And the day of fate draws nearer nd nearer. Much Talk and Little Work. 'Ibis week will probably see the end of the session of the Dominion Parliament. • As hag been pointed out before, thee has been much talk on the part of the Gov- ernment and little work done. The tariff has gone through, albeit the mem- bers of the Administration seem to still have a very uebnlous idea as to just what the preferential clause amounts to. Mr, Laurier's visit to England has glade it possible for, the • Government to slur over a large amount of important busi- ness. But the absence of the Premier has induced the Ministers to attempt to rail- road other business through Parliament. Last week- you were informed of the latest aspect of the • Crow's Nesb case. The Canadian Pacific, by the terms of this "deal" are wen looked after by the Donairdon Government. The other great railway organization, the Grand Trunk, is the latest recipient of Government favors. The Drummond county railway and certain running powers over the Grand Trunk have been /eased by the Federal Administration at a cost of 8210,- 000 per year, ostensibly to give the In.- teroolonial railway an extension to Mont- real. The Drummond county line is a short railway of 90 miles, • paralleling the Grand Trunk for the whole of its length. It commences on tbe Grand Trunk, and terminates on the stune line. The Domin- ion Government, in -order to utilize the Drummond county lie as an extension of the Grand • Trunk, had to conclude arrangements with the latter company in order to obtain running privileges over its track. Of tbe $e10,000 annually to be paid, the , Grand Trunk is to get 81e6,000; the Drummond county people 864,000. The Govern/m.1'A anDotince that the Canadian Pacific railway will now have compeeition, but the statement sounds less plausible when it is remem- bered that the new route is but fourteen miles shorter than that between the Maritime provinces and Montreal by the Grand Trunk, and is seventy-five miles longer than the C. P. R. The truth is that Mr. Tarte bad to do something for the gentlemen of the Grand Trunk, and has done it. The Liberals from the north shore of the St. Lawrence are vastly indignant at the action of the Govern- ment, and are prepared to make things hot wben the matter comes up for dis- cussion in the House. Of course,. the Crow's Nest Pass deal has yet to be rati- fied by Parliament The British Colum- bia Liberals are still determined to tight this arrangment to the best of their ability. The Government's childish bluff to the effect that the Ministers would re- sign if the members of the Liberal party did iirt support the Crow's Nest deal, is likely to prove a boomerang. Mr. Blair, the Minister of Railways, stands pledged to Sir Willinen Van Horne, and all, over the country Liberal editors are defending the deal, using in the operation matter forwarded to them by the department at Ottawa. The people of the county, though, are disposed to look with great suspicion on the deal. The independent press of the country, the independent members of Parliament, unite in de- nouncing the arrtuagement Certain Lib- eral writers have acme their best to befog the public mind on the question. They conceal the greatest point of the whole question: that this Government has given away what was an asset of great value. The Canadian Pacific Railway Company now owns something which should have remained the property of the people. Tlae talk about cutting the rates from the west is a good enough newspaper text, but nothing is said of any arrangement for giving the western farmer means of bringing goods cheaply from the east. The fact is that the people of the whole of Canada have been buneoed by the members of the Administration. Mr. 512 - ton seems to have become the chief par- liamentary ally of the C.P.R., while Joe Martin, Siftou's bitterest enemy not so long ago, now is one of the railway's foremost attorneys. The Crow's Nest Pass deal is not through Parliament yet, and we may expect some ,stirring times before it is. Sir Charles Tupper Dined. The complimentary dinner to Sir Charles Tupper the other night walin every way a success. The whole of the Conservative parliamentary party was present. The veteran statesmen made a speech that was full of vigor and flee. In his review of the situation he said:— "In the face of difficulties of a most extraordinary and unexpected character, we were forced a year ago to appeal to the people, and although we grappled with the gigantic) difficulties which were in our way, it was our fortune to fail in obtaining the support of the majority of the representatives of the people. I must, however, tell you that if we failed on the occasion to obtain the support of a ma- jority of the representatives of the peo- ple, we had the thorough satisfaction of knowing the Liberal -Conservative party had polled more Votes than had the Lib- eral party. (Cheers.) You may tell ine that we met with some reverses at the bye -elections. I do not so regard it. If you will cast your minds back to 1891 you will remember that after a desperate strugle our late lamented and ever -to be - remembered and beloved chieftain, Sir John Macdonald, simply obtained a ma- jority of 25. As the result of the bye- electionwhich followed that majority of 25 was, in the course of a few short years, swollen to a taajority of 60. I give you that as an evidence of the im- mense advantage that a Government has in the bye -elections, and therefore that if reverses are sustained under those air- cunastances they are not of a discourag- ing character. But I also invite your at- tention to the fact that the Liberals and the party in power, who are wielding the power in a manner no other party in this country has ever done, who are using every effort of terrorizing, every effort of compulsion, aud most gigantic means of corruption ever before witnessed in Can- adian history, are unable to -day to point to one single men of standing character, or position who has left the ranks of the Liberal -Conservative party." Export Duty on Saw Logs and Pulp Wood. Onoe more have the Liberals helped themselves to the olothes of the Conserva- tives. They propose to re-enact the old 003:193TVatiVO provision lookbeg to the placing of an export; duty on saw logs and pulp wood. The United States man- ufacturers have for yews been draining Canada of these great natural resources. They have spent no money in the coun- try beyond the mere eost of getting out the wood. The Coeservatives, when in power, were ready to impose an export duty on saw logs, but tbe American elolKinley• bill was not so drastic as was expected and the duty was not imposed. eit that time, too, it was not so apparent that the American, supply of pine logs was almost exhausted. The • Canadian Government, if it imposes an export duty on these natural products, will be doing nothing name than its duty. Of course John Charlton, the lumber miller ot Tonawanda, arose and made strenuous cp; osition to the proposed chenge. He took the highly hareanitarian ground that it would be utietret for Cantata to "ill treat" the 'United States, Mr, Charl- ton had no word to say of the disgraceful action of the government of tile republic In respect of the alien labor Jaws. `the House of Coninaoas is heartily sick of Chariton's Amerioanism by this thee, and even his friends forbore to applaud his anti-Catiaditai sentiments. Minister Davies, to whom is due the discredit fca emasculating the alien labor bill nitro - dotted by Mr. George Taylor, the chief Conservative whip, looked as though he would like to encloxse the elews of John Charlton, but prudence inapellecl him to silence, The Government asks Parlia- ment to give it power to impose export duties by Order -in -Council. •The prefer- able method would be to have Parlia- ment pass an act declaring that the duties shall go luto foroe on the day that the Arnerioan tariff bill becomes opera- tive.. The Americans would be shown that Canada is prepared to defend her- self; the power of postponing action weuld be taken out of the hands of our Government, and the people of this coun- try would be given a proof that the Lib- erals have ceased to look to Washington. But the Ministers lack the moral cour- age to take any decided stand. They have not the deterinination necessary to press this measure through. When strong men like Sir William Van Horne are behind them with a sharp stickthey are bound to take action. But so long as in other cases they can postpone and defer, they will do so, no matter what -the in- jury to Canada's prospects may be. Dlr. Laurier's Reception in England. From England we hear that Mr. Laur- ier is meeting with a cordial reception. Sir Charles Tupper sails from New York on Saturday next, and Hon, Messrs. Davies and Blair will cross the Atlantic) within the fortnight. All on Account of the Wheel. The bicycle sundry business teas reached vast proportions. Every article needed by the wheelman, and some that he'll never need, is the subject of fierce competition. The competition not only covers the manufacturer, but extends to the retail dealer as well. .13loycle sundries can be found in all sorts of unexpected places. Some of the dry goods people make a speoialty of them, and there are many other concerns that carry them as they would any prime necessity. Of course all this makes competition fast and furious at the regular bicycle stores. Here is au Illustration of the way the thing some- times goes An eagle eyed customer walked lute a Euclid avenue wheel depot last Saturday! evening and asked to look at • locks. He' was shown a look and chain and inquired the price. The proprietor had slzed him up and was determined to make a sale, even if he sacrificed profits to do it. "Ten cents," he replied. A smile of ineffable contenapt came over the customer's classic features. He held the lock to the light Wad viewed it at every possible angle. Then be handed it book to the proprie- tor. "Tain't worth more'n a nickel," he remarked. The proprietor looked at him in sor- row. "If I had known with whom I was dealing," he plaintively remarked, "I wouldn't have put up the price on you. Hero, take it as a gift." And the customer, with a gratified smirk creeping around the corners of his finely chiseled mouth, pocketed the lock and went out into the night. —Cleveland Plain Dealer. Woos of the Hairdresser. My heart bleeds for the hairdresser, writes Walter Besant. That poor artist— that unfortunate man of science—has de- voted his whole life to the pursuit of a discovery as elusive as the elixir of life. He is and always has been conducting a research after something which shall cuver the bald head with a new thatch, shall repair the thinued temple and re new the hireette brown, glheive, I con it, Many are the preparations offered to a confiding public, but the poor hairdresser is fain to exhibit his own bald head as a proof that the discovery, in spite of ad- vertisements, has not yet been arrived at. It must therefore be an additional pang when the seeker after truth reads that a method has been *discovered, not of re- newing the fallen locks, but of making the best thatched of men and women bald. You submit your head to the fa- mous Roentgen rays, and lo, you become as bald as a certain prophet. 'Give me back my hair," cries the man of science thus despoiled. "Read my advertise- ment," answers the hairdresser. "Be- hold my bottle! Yet, alas, I admit I am bold myself, and. that in spite of my bottle." The Reason.

The Dig Business Bone In the Interna- tional Trading In Them. There is a standard joke be the variety theaters, so often told that it has come to have a familiar sound to the ears of pa- trons, concerning a remark made by a city man who beard tint eggs had gape ddwn to a cent apiece. "1 cloe't see bow the bees can do it for the price." Notwith. standing the reduction ba the price of eggs, and the almost unlimited supply of them In all countries that have devcdoped then agricultural resources, it is a fact that tbe trade in eggs, their exportation from One country to another, has become a large item of ieternatioreal commerce, as some recent figures show.

Twenty years ago the manual Danish export of eggs was 600,000; now It is reekoned at 110,000,000. la the same period the importation of eggs into Eng- land has increased tenfold, but only a part of the whole number comes from Deemark, the two other egg exporting countries from which Englarld draws its supplies being Holland and France. France ex- ports to other countries 600,000,000 eggs in a year and Italy exports 500,000,000 eggs in a year, chiefly to Austria and Ger- many. The dairymen of the United States de- pend chiefly on the enormous home mar- ket, and they have rivals in the export of Americn eggs in the Caeadians, Canada ranking next to France and Italy and Ahead of Denmark and Holland as an oaa exporting country. Canada exports to other countries 300,000,000 eggs in a year. For the fiscal year of 1895 the treasury figures give as the total exports of Arent - can eggs to foreign countries lamo doz.. en, which is equivalent to 1,812,000 eggs. In the fiscal year 1890, however, the total exportatious of American eggs increased to 828,000 dozeie, or 3,936,000 eggs, a little mare than twice as much. It is a somovvhat curious fact, that the weight of eggs is materially larger in nor. thorn than in southern climates.

Burned Paper and Ginseng Root, Which Bring Him Palley Prices. One of the queerest shops in Chinatown is that of a Chinese doctor, who wears large diamond rings and prescribes sharks' fins, birds' nests and snakes' tongues for his patients. For prescriptions for indi- gestion it is his oustoin to °barge his pa- tient 81. When that sum has been paid, he writes Chinese °tweeters on a long strip of pa- per, This lie burns, uttering incantations. The ashes he permits to fall into a glass of water which is given to the patient to driak. This cure is said to work every time, but a New York physician who has examined it says it consists of nothing more or less than- the aclnainstration of charcoal, long known to practitioners as a cure fur dyspepsia. A much more expensive prescription which this Now York Chinese doctor puts up for his patients is ginseng. There are some species of this peculiar plant foe, which the Chinatown doctor charges as much a 8100 per pound. Ginseng is supposed to infuse new life into him v ho takes it. To the devout Chinamen ginseng represents the fountain of youth, and for a small part of its pre- cious wood be will Often spend his last cent.

I had an hour all to myself in Delphi, and thought over my day. The drive from Iton, the port of Delphi, is beautiful. The road is perfect. It isa French road. It passes through olive groves, the like of which fax N igorous life I have never seen, or, seeing, L.. e never marked, and then begins the ascent along the zigzags which furrow the face of the mountain. It re- ealled to my mind the road from Giardini to Taormina, the road from Palermo to Monreale. • .A very modern dogcart, driv- en by a very modern French archnologist, with a very modern French girl at his side, came bowling down the road at a reckless pace. The awe of Delphi was not yet upon us. Then we reached a large village, Chryso by name, -which is, being interpreted, Goldsborougb—a corruption, it is suggest- ed, of the ancient name Orissa; not an un- natural corruption, if one remembers the popular slanders against Delphi. Chryso seemed larger even than it was. Claraber- ing fax uphill, it waylays the traveler three times, and as we traversed it three times, the children of the village threw wild flowers into our anainges. When we went down, I must add, tee withholding of a copper tribute roused the wrath of the youthf al neighbors of Delphi, and other missiles than wild flowers were hurled into the carriage that I occupied.— B.

THE SUNDAY SCHOOL. LESSON XIII, SECOND QUARTER, IN- TERNATIONAL SERIES, JUNE 27. A. Comprehensive Beview of the Quer- , ter's Lessens—Golden Text, Math. xxiv, 14—Comm6ntary by the Rev. D. M. SteEaS70 s. LI.—Peter Working 'Miracles (Acts ix, 32-43). Golden Teat, Aots ix, 13e, "Jesus Christ maketh thee whole," Luke's concise statement of his eospel as giving an account of all that Jesus began both to do and teach is in this book follow- ed by an account of all that ;Jesus contin- ued to do Fuld teach through His apostles, but specially through Peter and Paul. Whether it be either of these, or the proph- ets of the Old Testament, or our Lord Himself, and whether it be miracles or prophecy, it is all the selfsame Spirit work • hag and dividing to every man severally as Ile will—that is, as the Spirit will (I Cor, xii, 11, 18). Neither the healing of ,ZEneas nor the raising to life of Dorcas was be- cause of any goodness or power in Peter, but wholly through the Lord Jesus Christ, beoiLbs. oni many tinned because of these h LESSON IL —Conversion of Cornelius (Acts x, 30-44). Golden Text, Acts a, 43, "Whosoever believeth in Rim shall receive remission of sins." God in heaven readietik and regardeth the hearts of all men, .8,33d where Ho sees any one honestly and ear- nestly living up to the light they have and seeking with all the heart ear more Heevill find a way to reveal Himself to them. In this case Ho 'used an angel and men to bring to Coxnelins one whore He knew would show him the way. Peter preached the life and death and resurrection of Jesus of Nazareth and the forgiveness of sins through Him. LESSOR Ill.—The Resurrection i1 (lor. xv, 12-26). Golden Text, 1 Cor. xv, 20, "Now Is Christ risen from the dead and become the first fruits ef them that slept." The alternate lesson for this day showed us Barnabas and Paul spending it year at An- tioch teaching the people. This resurrec- tion lesson undoubtedly sets before us the substance of that evhich they would teach —namely, that all believers should cleave unto it risen Christearho is in heaven at God's right hand for us. LESS= IV. —Peter Delivered From Pris- on (Acts ail, 5-17). Golden Text, Ps, =iv, 7, "The angel of tbe Lord encamp- eth round about them that fear Rim and delivereth them." The great enemy of God and num cannot destroy the work of God, nor the soul that is redeemed by the precious blood of Christ, but he will, if be ean, destroy the body of the believer. LESSON 7.—Paul Begins His First Mis- sionary Tour (Acts xiii, 148). Golden Text (Mark XTI, 15), "Go ye into all the world and preach the gospel to every crea- ture." The truth set forth in tho first les- son in this review is here made Tay prom- ineat, that all real work for God, whatever or whoever may be the chttemel, is the work of, the Holy Spirit. Be Calls, sepa- rates, fills and sends forth Barnabas and. Saul to do the Lord's work by preaching the word of God. The Spirit moves, the word is spoken, and tho work is done. "Be filled with the Spirit." LESsax 17L—Paul Preaching to the Jews (Acts aiii, 26-89). Golden Text, Acts xiii, 88, "Through this man is preached unto you the forgiveness of sins." This sermon. was at Antioch inPisidia in.the synagogue' on the Sababth day, and the substanoe of it was as always, thedeath and resurrection of Jesus, and through Him the forgiveness of SIM, to the Jew first, and also to the gentiles. One has said that the Christian- ity that does not start with the forgiveness of sins through the blood of Chirst is im- potent. Beware of it. Lessor!' VIL—Paul Preaching to the Gentiles (Acts aiv, 11-22). Golden Text, Acts xiii, 47, "I have set thee to bo a light of the gentiles." From Antioch to Iconium, then to Lystra and Derbe, 'Paul and Barnabas went on preaehiag the same gospel everywhere and. enduring persecu- tion everywhere for Christ's sake and the gospels. It is probable that Saul's experi- ence, as described in II Cor. xii, 2, 4, was in connection with his being stoned at Lystra. LESSON TILL—The Conference at Jeru- salem (Acts xv, 1-6, 22-29). Golden Text, Acts as', 11, "Through the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ we shall be saved, even as they." Me devil hates God's way of peace by the blood of Christ alone and will either suggest some other way with- out the blood, Cain's way, the way of our new theology people, or something in ad- dition to the blood and the free grace of God, like these false teachers from Judiaa, and many among us who, while they pro- fess to trust in Christ think they must do their part or they cannot be saved, and. thus they despise the grace of God, Lassag IL—Christian,- Faith Leads to Good Works (las. ii, 14-23). Golden Text, Jas, ii, 18, "I will shew thee any faith by my works." The last verso of this lesson makes it plain that James is as cleat as Paul upon righteousness imputed to us apart from any works of ours, and such passages as Eph. ii, 10; Titus iii, 8, shove Paul to be as clear as James upon the ne- cessity of works as an evidence to men of our salvation. We axe sa-ved, not by our works, but by His work alone, in order that, as saved people, we may serve the living and true God while we wait for His Son from heaven (I Thess. i, 9, 10). LESSON X.—Sins of the Tongue (Jas. iii, 1-13). Golden Text, Ps. Yeaiv, 13, "Keep thy tongue from evil and thy lips from speaking guile." Not only works, but words, mast indicate that we have been born of God and haye become new crea- tures in Christ Jesus. If the heart is right and filled with the word of God, then the lips will speak right things, for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth spe.aketh (Prove =ill, 16; Math. ail, at, 36). LESSON XL—Paul's Advice to Timothy (II Tim. i, 1-7; iii, 14-17). Golden Text, II Tim.'15, "From a child thou hest known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make thee wise mato salvation." To know the Scriptures from childhood is the • greatest blessing a ehild can have, and the mothers and grandmothers who, like Eu- nice and Lois, thus -twain the children will have greatly added not only to their own but to others' eternal joy. As to being furnished for all good eTorks, our lesson states that the Scriptures alone—of course In the power of the Spirit (John vi, 68)— are sufficient to thoroughly furnish any one. , LEsSON XII,—Personal Responsibility (Rom. xiv, 10-e1). Golden Text, Rom, Icier, 21, "It is good neither to eat flesh, nor to drink wine, nor anything whereby thy brother stumbleth." Nab only worke and words, as previously stated, but even our eating and drinking, should prove to others the reality of our new life. Self in every form is to be renounced', and Christ have fall control. "Unto Him and tot unto self," must be our thought, remem- bering that all believers must; stand before His judgment seat, taxi every one of WI give account of himself to God.
