gears of age at the time of his death.
alis father, John Fraser, was a Scotch
;highlander, and his mother Sarah,
flee Burke, was of Irish birth and pa-
rentage., When a lad he worked in
;;the office of the Brockville Recorder,
;where, he learned the trade of printing,
and =accumulated a regard For the
craftsmen that was often felt 1 y them.
He was called to the bar in 1'365, and
ttled down to practise his profession
Brockville. >
,He -has. represented South Grehvrille
since w ; man In
the Cabinets Religiously he dd was a was a Ro-'
;man Catholic, and much that has been
said about his religious influence over
the Cabinet, is all nonsense. He was a
'Canadian before he was anything else.
•Ooe.of the most sarcastic speakers in
the :house, he wad always sure of a
good audience. He was a man of the
strictest integrity, and his manage-
k�.... -:anent of the new Parliament Buildings
gave him a ]acting record for honesty
r : and uprightness. 'The testimony of
even Conservatives to his manly worth,
show that he lived according to princi-
ple, and not as politicians are supposed
^'4 to live, for policy only. •
Hie career ought to be an inspiration to every
:-young Canadian who cherishes an honorable
.ambition for the public service. It should be
an inspiration for honesty, for fidelity, for still-
,ydinees of conviction. It should help us to bring
-about such a condition of public opinion that

It speaks 'volumes for the character of Mr
Fraser that he came personally unblemished
through a long political career. . Never
.once -was there a personal accusation made
ainst him—in facts his opponents were as
rrbady as his friends to admit that his reputation

'The Globe advocates certain reforms

this country would be just as well off
it abolished entirely its militia

made by this Oompany, at Toronto,
will this year be the hugest and most

sixteen different styles. ranging from
their double -bank pipe top to the ex-
quisite little Windsor Model. These
are all choice designs, specially remo-
delled under the personal direction of
Mr Doherty, and seem to be as near
perfection in. all details as possible, but
there is one in particular that calls for
special mention. It is a very hand-
some Wagner Piano Model, with re-
ceding front, surrounded by a beauti-
ful walnut curtain, which gives a pret-
ty effect, and is one of the most hand-
some designs we have ever seen. these
orarans will also be exhibited at Mont-

and will no doubt still further crown
the Company with golden laurels, and
add to the demand for their popular

George M. Pullman took the stand before
the United States labor commission, on
Monday afternoon. He stated the Pull-
man Palace Car Company was organized
July 31, 1887, with a capital of $1,000,000.
The Town of Pullman was established in
1880. Commissioner Wright conducted
the examination of Mr Pullman. He asked
the President of the Palace Car Company
to tell in his own way the objects of the
company and why' the town was built.
"The plan was," said Mr Pullman, reading
from a typewriter manuscript, "to estab-
lish a community for workingmen whioh
would enable them to live in harmonious
relations with the company. The relations
of the Pullman Company are, however,
simply those of a landlord in regard to.its
employees, whioh it treats:as tenants. ' The
basis of profit was 6 per cent. per annum,
which at that time was a fair profit on the
inevatment. The cost of establishing the
streets and . improvements was, of course,
considered in making this calculation.
This does not include the cost of theplant."
"The Pnliman Company," Mr Pullman
stated, "did not sell property within the
limits of the Town of Pullman because the
company did not wish objectionable char-
acters to establish themeelves in the town.
There were in consequence no saloons or
houses of ill-repnte in Pullman, as there
might otherwise have been." Mr Pullman
then proceeded to explain the Pullman
lease.

.MANITOBA, LETTER.
MINNrinoaA, Mgt., ,Aug, 25,. 1,834.
To elle Editor,of Enc Minot" .New eerie,
Da4a Kis, --Before leaving Clinton for
my trip put west, you Raked use. to Write er
short letter for the readers of the Naw Bat,
on Manitoba Rud, is present prospeote.
I left Clinton on.11uly 1,7, and agnea my
arrival here have been travelling. over the
prairie almost •continually, in ,company
with my brothers, who are on the road
all the time, buying cattle for the Montreal
markets.
One tiling I can eay, to the credit of the
Manitoba farmer, the majority of them are
very hospitable, though the a000tlaniodation
in most oases is very limited, yet they give
willingly what they have, and apologise
that it is not better.
The crops in thin district (along the line
of the Manitoba and North -'Western R.R.)
are very fair; there are certainly some very,
five fields of wheat, and the exception this
year has been no frost or hail, and any
danger to the wheat crop is practically over,
as the farmers in all direotious are busy
relying, and if wheat was only a fair price
the farmers in this district would have
nothing to complain of. The farmers in
the north-western eeotion have an advan-
tage over those in the southern part, in
that they go in for more mixed farming,
raising cattle and hogs in great numbers,
which they are able to turn into money at
this season of the year, when there is not
much else on the farm to realize money
from, besides. they are not dependent en-
tirely on the grain crop, whioh le eo uncer-
tain in this country, on account of hail and
frost.
On the second of this month my brothers
paid out between five and six thousand
dollars for cattle for the Montreal market,
and on the 80th inst. they will pay out the
same amount again, for another shipment.
Other shippers on this line are paying out
large amounts also, and the effect of so
much cash being distributed among the farm -
ers cannot fail to have a good effect among
merchants and others to whom the farmers
are indebted. The price of cattle this year
is very low, and it seems almost an insult
to offer the prices that are given, but land
is cheap, and cattle oan be raised without
much expense, when they are raised in
large herds, as most of thein are.
Two of the principal drawbacks the
farmers in this country have to contend
with are frost, the great distance they are
from the markets for cattle and grain, and
the consequent heavy freight charges,
which seem to about take all the profit
away, and second, the distance they are
from the manufacturing centres, nearly all
the machinery and merchandise used hore
coming from Ontario, and the prices seem
to be greatly enhanoed, what with heavy
freight charges, and, in a great many oases,
where credit is given, the exorbitant charg-
es made by machine agents and others,
which, in a great many oases, have com-
pletely ruined the farmer.
The outbuildings on most of the farms
are of a very limited number, and the
greater part of the machinery is left outside
for the whole year, exposed to all kinds of
weather, which, with the expenditure of a
few dollars, for a building to house all the
machinery, a great deal of money could be
saved. I am pleased to notice, however,
an improvement in this respect over what
it was two years ago.
Minnedosa, the town where I am visiting,
is very pleasantly situated in the Valley of
the Saskatohe wan, surrounded by hills,
has a population of nearly one thousand,
being the most important town on the line
west of Winnipeg. Quite a number of new
buildings are going up this summer, which
gives the place an air of activity and pros-
perity.
I intend leaving here for home next week,
and 1 can heartily say there is no place
like Ontario for me, and in Ontario that
beautiful town of Clinton stands unrivalled
in my affections, as well as in the affections
_n£a_nura3er-gf,, old ,Clinto-nians whom I
have met in my traves, tTie Great majority'
of whom have a tender spot in their heart
for Clinton and its people, and while I
write thus about Ontario, and think that
any one who is in fair circumstances are
better there, considering the convenienoies
and social advantages to be enjoyed, there
are those just commencing in the business
of life, and of limited means, to such Mani-
toba offers advantages not obtainable in
Ontario, any amount of land, and plenty of
scope to develop any ability that nature
has given, either in business or farming; of
course they will havetobe prepared to
"rough it," for a time at least.
Now my letter is long enough, if yon
think it worth pablishing,why do so, if not,
why just consign it to that wicker basket
which yon keep for holding commnnica•
tions not worth putting in your noble paper.
We have only to be away from home for
awhile to properly appreciate our old
friend the NEN Eat, bright and cheery as
ever. Yours truly, IsBAZL TAYLOR.
