MoI Ry & Co. t7lexussels ` l.gs#, FRIDAY, NOV. 30, 1888. Wnurt some of the Conservative journals are waxing so eloquent on "Canada for the Canadians," the "old flag," etc, and kindred topics, it might be interesting for them to devote a little spade to explaining why a man named Brockport, of Now York, was awarded the contract for the Galops oanal, on the river St. Lawrence, and why a person of the name of Harvey, another U. S. sub- jeot, is one of the principal contractors for the Seth Ste '+r:::... weal ? The principle miry ho ecel enough but it wants in be backed up by practice to prove o' ts•factory to m;l,iessed epee. tater.. Tun attention of dairymen and fanners generally is called to the series of letters on the dairy interests of Canada, the first of which appears in this wrek's edition of Tan Peer. W. H. Lynch, the author, is an experienced writer on dairy topics, and the fund of information which he collected on his extended visit to Europe, and which will form the subject of his letters, will be of deep interest to our dairy farmers and will well repay them to possess themselves of this knowledge, which Mr. Lynch so generously purposes furnishing through the press. Tha cheese and butter department of the farm is a very important one and has reached a stage in the history of nations when nothing can beat the Canadian manu. acturer. A erontz is brewing in British Colum- bia over the Chinese question and it will be no easy matter to settle the difficulty. John Chinaman was a nuisance there before the United States enforced the exclusion bill and since that the Chinese appear to make New Westminster and other cities in that province their head- quarters with the hope of smuggling into Uncle Sam's territory. Not only do they work at starvation wages and shut out white men but their habits are filthy and worse that all they ;aro inveterate opium consumers and the habit is being added to the other "accomplishments" of their white brethren. Whether Canada will be compelled to pass an Exclusion Bill or not is not ours to say but the question, sooner or Later, will come up for debate and it will not be easily set- tled. The revenue collected at Vancou- ver during October under the Chinese Immigration act amounted to -$$12,000, indicating that at least 240 Chinese per- sons landed at that port during last month. Tim Ottawa Free Press speaks as fol- lows on a very important question to Prohibitionists :—The resolution intro- duced in the Northwest Council in favor of submitting to the people of the terri- tories the question as to whether they prefer the present prohibitory liquor law ora license system, has been carried by a large majority. .Ss the Northwest assembly has no power to hold au elec- - tion cm the question the Dominion gov- ernment will doubtless be asked to ob- tain the opinion of the people in the manner suggested. But even if the pro- hibitory law is sustained by the popular voice, that will not prevent Liat..Gover- nor Royal from nullifying it by issuing liquor permits to whomsoever he pleases. The members for the Calgary and Me- Lood districts in the Northwest assemb. ly declared in favor of a license law, and announced that, whether sustained by a popular majority or not, the prohibitory law would never be observed by their constituents. Mr. Cayley stated that fifty gallons of whiskey are now being sold daily in Calgary at six dollars per gallon, _Ee-twood. What about a public Hall for Attwood ? W. H. Hill, our new tonsorial artist, is going to do well here. It's what we've been wanting.

The Fisk J ubileo concert was well at tended last week and the usual satisfuc thin given. The troupe is evidently, the best of its kind. Rev, 1)r.

The by-law for the new foundry was not earned on Monday, As two-thirds of the voters had to vote it was found on counting the ballots that while a suffioi- ant number had voted to favor of the bonus there were still seven wanting to make tip the two -third vibe.

The new Presbyterian church will be dedicated on Sabbath, Dec. 10th. The pews are all upholstered and the aisles carpeted. It is a very tidy, tasty edi- fice and reflects credit on the Presby- terians of the town. The Standard says :—We understand that the Reliance Electric Light Com- pany bas decided to put in a plant, erect poles and have electric light in full operation by the 10th Dee. Whether the Ball Co. intend to also put in a plant for the purpose of making a test has not as yet been ascertained. The electric light furnished by either company will of course be submitted for trial before a contract is entered into. 4 re_tr.
