Mr. Justice Hawkins, of the

A firth advertised a cure for in-
fluenza under a forfeit of $500 for
any case that was not cured by its
use. A lady invested in the medi-
cine and used it according to direc-
tions without deriving any benefit.
She sued the firm and was awarded
the $500: The defendants objected
that there was no legal contract,
but the judge held them to the
words of their advertisement,
In the American Committee on
Foreign Relations, Mr. Lind, of
Minnesota, said the United States
should not only demand the free
use of Canadian Canals, but should
else "receive free use of the St.
Lawrence in perpetuity." "This
was very important," said . Mr.
Lind, "the United States can build
canals of their own, but they cannot
build a St. Lawrence River." This
is quite true. The United States,
cannat build a St. Lawrence river
neither can they rob Canada of it
any more than they will be allowed
to rob us of our land territory either
by foree, fraud or annexation.
The Govor•mnent and Opposition
parties in Manitoba Provincial
politics are somewhat mixed. The
Greenway Govermnent is supposed
to bo Reform, yet its supporters aro
largely Conservative, such a staunch
one as' Stewart Mulvey being
a candidate on that ticket.
While tho Opposition or Con-
serativo party is headed by a
Reformer, In a report of a Green-
way meeting at Emerson the other
day we find the following :
On motion of Mr. E. Davis,
seconded by Mr. Goodhew, Mr.
Mark Whitely (fertilely of Goderich)
was unanimously made chairman,
and amid prolonged applause took
the seat of honor. He urged
that the best of order be observed
and that all the speakers be given a
fair hearing. In explaining his
position as chairman of what is
generally considered as a Reform
meeting Mr. Whitely said that he
was a Conservative and supported the
Government more especially in
their determined fight for National
Schools. The Conservative party as
a party is not opposing the Govern •
moot. The Opposition is led by
the late0pposition in the Legislature,
who were elected four years
ago on a straight Reform ticket and
most of them turned Opposition only
on the Government's fight for
National Schools; they are Roblin,
Jerme Prendegast, Murtah, etc.
I am a Conservation but who will
say that such an Opposition is
Conservative 4 (Cheers.) Why is
the grand old party name desecrated
by the name "Opposition" if there
is any tree Conservatism about it.
The best Conservatives all over the
country are with the Government.
(Cheers.)
The peculiar notions of liberty
which have to a considerable extent
permeated society under ilia "free"
insthutione of our Auterican neigh-
bors and blossom forth once iu a
while and hear legitimate fruit after
their kind are justly bringing forth
fruit now. The Carnegie Compauy
employ about 5000 man in their iron
works in I'enusylvauia. Thr.y
make t'rorn $18 to $34 a week. The
steady ones of them have each
))nig sod a moderate conipetency.
Lately the Co. has put in improved
machinery and adopted improved
processes, at au outlay of hundreds
of thousands of dollars, in the utak-
iug of steel in order to meet the
fierce competition in the business,
the prices having gone down.
The Co. proposed to reduce, slight•
ly, the price of piecework, but not
the amount of wages the 311311 could
earn, because the improved machin-
ery and process enabled the amen to
turn out more mork, The nreu re-
fused to work or to let new men
work. The company engaged 300
men to watch and guard their pro-
perty. The old workmen shot
down the guards aui.l .refused to
allow the owners to have possce-ion
of their propel ty. The iniliti,i bave
been called out and have overawed
the riotous strikers in the meantime,
But the strikers avow their intention -
to prevent the owners from operat-
ing the mills a8 soon as the militia
leave. The operatives in the urines
iu Idaho have adopted the
same tactics and have killed some
30 or 40 men who were willing to
work for $3 a day. The beauties
of the "free" institutions of the
United States, when operated by
denogogic politicians and their
dupes, are being meat beautifully
exemplified across the border.
The rioters are going a step farther
than doing what they like with
their own. They aro insistiug that
they have the right to do what they
like with other people's • property
and lives. And there aro so-called
statesmen who applaud them in
their anarchistic endeavors to up-
hold so called liberty. There is an
immense aggregation of truth in the
apostrophe, 0, Liberty! what crimes
have been committed in thy name !
The farm hands in the Western
States are even banding themselves
together for the purposed demaud-
ing the same wages per acre tor wit-
ting grain with machinery as it
would cost were it cut by hand,
under penalty --of preveutiud the
owners of the farms cutting it at alt.
They propose to prevent other farm
hands from working,fer $2 and $3
per day. And nuloss the militia is
called out it is feared it a large
amount of grain will remain uncut
and the farmers caused immense
loss through not, being' allowed to
employ whom they like.
A LAKE ROOFED `,irIT1-I
SALT.
No, it isn't frozen salt, and it
isn't underground. On the cons
trary, this remarkable lake may be
seen at any time during the year,
fully exposed, being even at at its
best when the sun is shining direct-
ly upon it. Thi•i wonderful body of
water is one of the saltest of salt
lakes, and situated near Obdorsk,
Siberia. The lake is nine utiles
wide and seventeen long, and within
the memory of roan was not entirely
roofed over by the salt disposit.
Originally evaporation played the
most prominent part in coating the
lake over with salt, but at the
present time the salt springs which
surround it are adding fast to the
thickness of the crust.
In the long ago rapid evaporation
of the lake's water left great salt
crystals ffoating on the surface. In
the course of time these caked to-
gether. Thus the waters were
finally entirely covered. In 1878
the lake found an underground out-
let into the river Obi, which lowered
its surface about three feet. Tlie
salt curet was no thick, however,
that it retained its old level and
now presents the curious spectacle
of a salt roofed lake. The salt coat
increases six inches in thickness
every year. The many islands
with which the lake is studded are
said to act as braces and to help
keep the arched salt crust in poli•
tion. „
