It has labg been a mystery to the riein'

Up to this time his wife Jean firmly

partied by Sandy Watt, the euab, wha
had run oot o' taaketa, an' wantit to re-
plenish his stook.
On arrivin' at the Grasemarket the
first aotion o' the cronies was to swallow
a dram, efter which they pairted, =bu-
sily agreein' to meat at the West Bow
after the transaction o' their business.
Sae four sae guid, but Johnnie wasna
riabt into the High street till again gettin'
dry, he entered a pu"Iiu•hoose for anitber
dram. At the bar were a number o' sod-
gere, an' afore ane cud say "Jack Robin-
son" Johnnie was in the middle o' them
treabiu' a' roon'.
The drink ainoe began to work, Johnnie
waena lana in explainin' to his new
freende a' aboot his military aspirations,
an' the unkind fate that had hitherto
nipped them in the bad. The sodgere,
seem' the kind o' customer they had to
doe wi', carried him on, an' faithfully
promised to enlist him, though a' the
time ready to burst at the idea o' a five•
fit kiltie, till Johnnie, hauf-dazed wi' the
drink en' fairly in the belief that he Was
on the road to military glory, at last be -
cam' utterly reaklees, an in a short time
was ejected from the premises blbu' foe.
What happened after this is no very
weel heat, but when his cronies met at
the randyvoo at the appointed time nae
John was there, an' it was only after a
prolonged seatob, an' wi' the assistance o'
the poleece, that he was at length diecov•
ered—aleepin' on a stair in a dark close,
and stripped by thieves of all but his
shirt.
Here was a fix. To leave him was im-
possible ; to take him out into the public
street an' tame as he was was equally cot
o' the question ; while to procure a suit o'
alms was beyond their means. What
was to be dans ?
An idea struck Sandy, an' glancin' doon
the close hie e'e fell on the poke original-
ly destined to hand Jobnnie's cauf, but
noo doomed to contain Johnnie bimeel'.
He was stock into the poke ; the poke
was flung inside the mart, an' awe.' the
procession started for bane,
In enterin' the village Johnnie's hoose
was dna o' the firth an' wonderin' what
cud be the cause o' delay, an' anxious to
inspeo' Johnnie's bargain, Jean ,was cot
at the door so sine as the rummle o' the
cairt-wheels was heard. To her dismay
nee John appeared, the big, dark feegars

"What's wrong, Davie? Whaurs my
Johnnie that he's no WI' ye ?" was J'ean's

"My puir 'ooman," :mid Davie, dole-

the darkness, "yer man's a sodger by this

"Eh, me, my bonny man a sodger 1 I

pobilo; and by opponent= a8 well
rads, after this long and severe or-
is admitted to be a etateeman of
IIberal and patriotic aspirations,
a man stands before the people of
1882.
8.--Beoause by the "Franchise Aot of
1885" it ceased to permit the Provincial
lists to be used for Dominion elections,
and adopted an expensive partizan
Bahama for making Dominion lists, with
power to perpetrate groes outrages ; and
has given the oonntry but one revision on
an average each three years, outing in
eaoh instance over $250,000.
9.—Because it went to the oountry at
the last general election under false pre-
tences, professing to be on the point of
850ariag a reoiprocity treaty with the
United States, when ne negotiations were
in progressand no prespe00 of securing
such
a treaty existed.
10.—Because it has distributed 25,000
square miles of timber limits among its
friends and supporters regardless of
value and without consideration.
11.—Because it has utterly destroyed
the independence of Parliament end se.
cured the support ofd slavish majority
by gifts to members and their friends of
timber limits, railway subsidies and other
favors.
12.—Beoauee it makes no attempt to
secure purity of administration, bat on
the contrary is governing the country by
the most shameless and corrupt methods.
13,—Beoause it is not an economical
government but is responsible for a eye.
tem of extravagance and waste in every
department.
14.—Because, when the country is stag-
gering under a burden of debt and tax-
ation, no effort is made to reduce the
debt or diminish the expenditure.
15.—Because the tariff is not adjusted
for the purpose of thawing the revenue
necessary for the economical administra.
tion of public affairs in the busiest way
for the people but on the contrary is
made the weapon of rings and combines
through the operation of which they ex.
elude foreign goods and secure the power
to charge exorbitant prices for their own
wares.
16.—Beoause the promises made on be.
half of the National Policy were found.
ationless and false. It bas neither
obeoked the exodus, nor given a home
market for our farm products, nor in.
creased the price of such products, nor
secured prosperity for the country.
17.—Because the extravagance of the
Government obliged the country to face a
deficit of over 91,200,000 last'year and
will probably result in a deficit of $5,000,-
000 for the year 1894.95.
M.—Because the buried secrete of specu-
lations, frauds and maladministration in
the various departments should be ex-
posed to the light of day, and the accounts
and records should be investigated by
meu who are not interested in oouoealing
facts.
19.—Because Canada is nearly at a
standstill and her people are diebeartened.
Her present rulers are incompetent, and
their policy worse than a failure. We
want new men, new methods, a new
poiioy,
20. —Because Parliamentary enquiry
into grave charges against members of
the Government in the Caron ease was
refused, the character and allegations of
charges changed by the Government to
suit its own purpose, and the emasculat-
ed indictment thus prepared referred to
a commission chosen by itself before
which acquittal was foreordained.
al.—Because their policy has led to the
scheduling of Canadian cattle in Great
Britain and the quarantining of Canadian
cattle in the United States,
The Queen on arriving in London Mon-
day was unable to walk without help.
The General Trunk Line Association
has decided to raise the immigrant fare
between New York and Chioago from $18
to $15 on May 1. Immigrant rates will
be correspondingly raised from other
