AN HONEST MAN WITH BAD ADVISORS
The Globe prints a letter written
by the late Hen. Alex.. McKenzie,
in 1875, which at once shows his
honesty of purpose and the persis-
tency of party leeches who would
like to bleed the treasury. The
following ie a part of the letter :—
"I would like much to be reliov
ed of the Public Works Depart.
ment ; but I c. nnot see my way to
that at present. It is the great
spending department, the possible
groat jobbing department, the de•
partment that can make or ruin a
Government at such a time as this,
when $25,000,000 are in the power
of its head to spend on publiq works.
Friends (1) expect to be benefited
by offices they .are unfit for, by con-
tracts they are not entitled to, by
advances not earned. Enemies ally
themselves with friends, and push
the friends to the front. Some at

trenches at a distance and approach
in regular' siege form. I feel like
the besieged lying ou my arms

otherwise than by the continued
imposition of very high duties on
goods similar to those wo make,

the most ardent free trader in pub-
lic life to p?esont a plausible sol-

BRITISQ TRADE FEDERATION.
In the political column of the
London Times of April 28 appears
the following : "The executive of
the United Empire Trade League
have cabled their congratulations
to Mr Alexander McNeill upon the
adoption by the Canadian House of
Commons of,his motion declaring
the willingnes of Canada to admit
British goods on more favorable
terms than foreign goods, as soon as
a preference is shown by the United
Kingdom for the production of the
Empire over those of countries ex-
cluding her manufactures by pro-
hibitory duties. It is felt by the
League that this resolution marks a
notable advance in the direction of
Empire trade, and the hope is en-
tertained that Australia and South
Africa will follow the example of
the Dominion. The resolution is
consideret the more generous in the
face of the recent despatch of Lord
Knutsford, which has caused much
irritatiou amongst the advocates of
Empire trade." The committee of
the League intends to consider what
special steps might be taken in Par-
liament and the country in view of
Canada's action.
—The House very properly dis-
missed the petition of the 47 clerks
and hotelkeepers of London, asking
for the impeachment of ' Judge
Elliott. • No proof was offered as 10
the guilt of the Judge, and it would
have been a disgraceful act to have
allowed street rumors to be used
against any Judge, more espeoiatly

Judge Elliott,

AN IMPORTANT DEOIS1ON.
The Pope has confirmed the decis-
ion of the propaganda in favor of the
plan advocated by Archbishop Ire-
land, of allowing American Catholic
schools to be taught by state teach-
ers, religious instruction being given
after school hours, the object being
to relieve Catholics of the burden of
expense of separate schools.
THE APPLE TRADE.
Mr. Woodall of Liverpool, review-
ing the Canadian apple trade for the
season just closing, says the ship-
ments were the largest on record,
the receipts at Liverpool alone reach-
ing nearly 1,000,000 barrels, includ-
ing American. During almost the
entire period prices were much high-
er than in previous years.
THE BRITISH MARKET.
In 1889 Great Britain purchased
from abroad 13,800 horses 555,000
cattle, 677,000 sheep, 137,200,000
pounds of mutton, 43,000,000 pounds
of pork, 502,000,000 pounds of bacon,
155,000,000 pounds of fresh beef, 72,-
000,000 pounds of canned beef, 215,-
000,000 pounds of butter, 215,000,000
pounds of cheese, 94,000,000 dozen
of eggs, 109,000,000 bushels of wheat,
40,000,000 bushels of barley, 52,000,-
000 bushels of oats, and so on. We
might share in that trade, of which
by, the way, the United States has
a tremendous proportion. But it
stands to reason ,that we cannot do it
unless we suit our economic condi-
tions to the market we are seeking
by rendering production cheap, so as
to compete with American produc-
tions in the British markets. r

NEWS OF THE WEEK.
—About six o'clock Sunday
morning a servant girl by the name
of McNeil, of Sarnia, who was em..
• ployecl at_ the residence of John D.
Beaty, of the Northwest transport.
ation company, left the kitchen door
unlocked for the milkman to place
the milk inside and then retired to
her bed, but was soon aroused by
the entrance of a man whose face was
blackened, and who at once attempt•
ed a criminal assault on her, holding
an open knife in his hand, After
struggling for some time she told
him that some of family would bo
up in a moment to call her. He
told her that he had chloroformed all
of the infmates in the house and
demanded what money she had,
amounting to about $6, which she
give him. The miscreant is sup-
posed to have been a tramp, who
was seen by some parties near the
house just after the robbery and at.
tempted criminal assnit. The man
has not been identified.
—A number of Michigan farmers
went east through London on Eris
day en route to Manitoba and the
North-west. Titin is the result of
Mr. M. V. Malnnes' efforts in
Michigan, and eneouraging reports
brought from the North west by,
farmers who have visited it, and
are leaving as fast as they can for
that country. Among the number
was one Mr. John Clark, from
Marion township, Saginaw. Seven
years ago he left Englgnd and set.
tled in the above township, having
one thousand dollars in gold and a
free home. Ho drove to Detroit to
take the train for the North-west.
Using an ox team for one hundred
and twenty-five miles. His boodle
bas been reduced to $150 cash and
a yoke of oxen and wagon. This is
bard luck after seven years of in.
defatigable work and energy in
Michigan. Fie takes a family of ai.t
grown-up men and woman to the
Canadian praries. They have got
a "move on" spirt in Michigan, and
the attractions of the Dominion,
when fairly and honestly represent-
eJ, will bring many like Mr.Clark
into Cjtnada.
