The Manitoba Government has sub-
mitted a bill to the Legislature which

The Patron Candidate having been

the loss of the German vote to the Re.

The Germans are a class of citizens who
will not be fooled with. A Patron or

port, but they are not likely to sup-
port a straight Reform candidate for

ja the Manitoba Legislature on Mon-
day night Attorney -General Sifton dis-
cussed the School question, taking the
ground that the Dominion Government
had no more right to interfere with the
National Policy made you rich?" But
the quedien ift most unfair. Where
there is one who can say that he has
acoulnulated wealth by his commercial
operations under the tariff there are
one hundred who can say that their
condition has been very much better
than it was under the Meokenzie tariff,
or would be again tinder "free trade as
it is in Old England." This is shown
by the deposits in the Post Office
Savinga Bank, which grew from $2,-
639,937 in 1877, when the Mackenzie
tariff was doing its worst for Canada, to
$24,153,194 in 1893. The total savings
of the people in the various banks grew
from $13,563,Q00 in 1876 --one of the
other dark and dismal years of Mac-
kenzie rule—to $54,972,000 in 1893.
Inasmuch as the total deposits de-
creased front $14,021,000 in 1874—the
-first year of the Mackenzie blight —to
$13,525,000 in 1877—the last year in
which the people were in despair from
that cause; and inasmuch as they in-
creaadd from $14,128,000 in 1878 to
$54,673,000 in the term of the National
Policy in 1893, we imagine there is a
slight connecting link, between the de-
posits and the policy. In other words,
the people's riches, measured by this
standard,were sit!a total standetill or de-
clining while the Liberals formerly held
power, whereas they have increased by
the enormous sum of forty millions since
the Conservatives resumed power.
While, therefore, an individual to
whom the above question may be ad-
dressed may not be able to say "1 have
grown rich by the National Policy
directly," the vaat bulk of the people at
large, who are depositors at the savings
banks, can truthfully say, "The
National Policy has made such favorable
oonditions for labor in Canada that I am
now able to save a little, whereas be-
fore it came to the rescue I could save
nothing at: all, but:had to draw upon
my little store for support." The ques•
tion we have quoted may be regarded
by the author as clever and cunning; it
is in reality very dishonest. deceptious
and inconclusive.

success in an attempt to dam up the

the Canadian electors that England is

appointment in 1890 of John Senn as

nation subsequent to the election was
also put in. Mr. Andrew Williamson,
of York P. 0., Oneida, was called to

Tobacco seer°,
TORONTO, Feb. 20.—In broad daylight,
while the blurecoated guardians of the
peace sauntered aleng the street firm in
the belief that a mill of justice was in
OPeration every day except Sundays and
legal holidays. ou Court street were enough
to make a man think twice before even
attempting to break a city by-law, a rob-
bery was committed which rivalled the
most famous deeds of that notorious baud
—the Dalton imitators—which is now
servieg; out different lengths of terms in
Kingston penitentiary,
It happened on Queen street west yes-
terday afternoon about half -past three
o'clock. At 186 1-2 Willia,ra Weisser keeps
9 tobacco store. His daughter, a young
lady of 17, Was in the shop when two men
entered. One asked for a package of
cigarettes. While she was engaged in com-
plying with their request one of the men
sneaked behind the counter and grabbed
the girl by the arms.
At the same time he put bis hand over
her mouth, but finding that an ineffectual
damper he pulled a handkerchief from
his pocket and shoved it in her mouth,
thus preventing her from making any out-
cry. •
Then lie dragged the young girl ibto
back room and held her there while his
companion proceeded to loot the store.
When he had ransacked the till he became
alarmed, and, calling to his conipaniou to
follow, he rushed out of the store and ran
up Queen street west. The other robber
left his victim and followed in his foot-
steps. •
As soon as the girl recovered her senses
she rushed out into the street screaming
at the top of her voice. When a coherent
account of the robbery had been obtained
from her the "day -lighters" had disap-
peared onto some side street.

Greenway's denial is clear enough. I
would now like to see the denial of Mr.

whom the report refers as attempting
to secure support for his leader in the

that as Mr. Laurier is such a bosom
friend of Messrs. Greenway and Martin,

DISGRACEFUL BLUNDERING.
At a Niagara Valls Fire — Firemen In-
jured. .
NIAGARA FALLS, Ont., Feb. 26.—Shortly
after six o'clock last evening the Preston
two storey brick block on Clifton avenue,
near the post office, was discovered to be ,
on fire. The ground floor was occupied,
by W. L. Flaherty, wholesale and retail
liquor merchant, andH. Preston, cnstoma
broker, while the owner, Mrs. F. J. Pres-
tou and family used the south wing as a
residence. Over Flaherty's store was lo-
cated the Niagara Falls cigar factory. Itt
the drying room of this concern is where
the fire is supposed to have started.
The 'file department reepeoded promptly
but there was a painful delay of some 10
or 15 minutes before the water was turned
on the flames on account of the hydrants
being buried under packed snow; and
even when the hydrant wag reached dis-
graceful bungling and want of discipline
took place amongst the firemen. Eyery-
body seemed to be managing the executive
department. Ladders were raised and
firemen climbed on themby the score.
One ladder gave way and some half dozen
men came down in the crash, and had it
not been .for the drifts of snow they fell in
some of them would have been seriously
injured. As it was, one of their number,
Fireman Webber was badly injured. He
was carried into Smith's drug store and
• his Wants attended to. If not internally
/tinted, he will -probably -be out in a few
days. Two others, Harry Williams and
Chief Chas. Cole, escaped with slight
sprains. •
The block was deluged in the water and
the flames extinguished. Jehn F. Ander-
son, owner of the cigar factory, will be the
greatest loser, 'his loss being placed at
$1,000 on plant and stock; no insurance.

pliances for extracting coal. They pro-

would begin at once and have the works in
operation next year., They declared they

shape of an alleged murder case, the al-
leged murderer being a 13-Year-o1d girl
named Lulu Lacey, wins lived vvith the
family of Mr, Inerfical,, of South Orinisby,
The girl wasbrought to the, ieil here
about 11 o'clock. Saturday night by Con-
stable Clarke and, will have to stand her
trial for the alleged crime.
The victim is an 18 month eld child et
Mr. Pierson. Lulu Lacey was employed
at the Pierson home to do light house-
work and mind the baby. Saturday Mrs.
Piersen went to the barn to do the milk.
ing and left the baby and Lulu alone.
When she returned to the house the baby
Was found to be suffering greatly and /l
doctor was at once sent for, The child,
however, shortly afterwards died from the
effects of 'supposed poisonieg and suspic-
ion at once rested upon the hired girl awl
she was placed under arrest.
It seems that there was a bottle of mai-
clue itt the house, which was procured by
one of the broilers of the dead baby for
some illness. The medicine contained
strychnine, not sufficient to kill it baby.
The girl, on being questioned, stated that
the baby asked her for the bottle and. she
would not give it to him. The baby then
by some means secnred possession of the
bottle and emptied a portiou of its con-
tents into Ids mouth. This story was not
believed by the parents and Lulu was ar-
rested on a charge of -murder. She was
taken before Magistrate Forbes and re -
weeded for a week, when •the circum-
stances cc nnectecl with the case will be
fully iu Wee igated.
A post-mortem examination on the dead
body of the balnewas held. These are the
facts so far obtained, but as yet there is
nothing definite about the case. The sus-
picions of the family may be groundless
and a satisfactory explanation may be
given in time. Lulu Lacey, the prisoner,
denies being guilty of the terrible charge
and maintains great calmness and. uncon-
cern, even in the face of the odds that ap-
pear against her.

The majority of our public school teach-

At this moment hundreds of school
teachers are invalids, go about the per-

amongst teachers; hem:hobs+, d3spepsia,

rising of the Royalists was obtained by
torturing Capt. Williarn. Davies, of the

One of the worst wrecks that has occur-
red on the New York Central & Hudson
River Railroad in some time occurred
about two miles north of Rhinebeck on
Friday. The American express train
smashed into a freight car and dashed into
the river, carrying with it Engineer Jamee
Donohue of New Yorkand Fireman Frank
Green of Catskill. Both were seriously
injured.
Commercial advices from the principal
business centres across the line report
little if any change for the better in the
trade situation. The contract for the pur-
chase of gold has, huscever, done some- es.
thing to restore confidence. All farm pro-'
duce continues extremely cheap, and. era:.
ployment generally is slack. The ex-
tremely bad weather of late has checked
trade everywhere, retrirted deliveries, and.
stopped building and other out -door oper-
ations. The commercial failures for the-
week have been 2701n the United States,.
