HODGENS, AGENT, CLINTON Our Ottawa Letter (Special correspondence of the NEw ERA) Ottawa, Aug. 13.—The Provinoial Op- position menagerie bas already reoeived its sessional addition, and at the present rate of progress will in a few years become quite a star aggregation. Starting with thelnow historic "Calf with tie Cough," which in due time was joined by the "Humber Pig," we have now the "Hodgins Ram." At various periods of their history the Opposition have found themselves with white elephants on their hands, and it is even whispered that "Monkeying" with the Government has resulted in their having to "Craw•tish" out of many ao un- tenable position. No wonder that with this rapidly inoreasing stook on their hands, Mr Whitney and his colleagues are anxious about the administration of the Lepartment of Agriculture, but it would appear that the country is satisfied to leave the management in the hands of its old servants, while the Opposition takes Dare of its own little happy family, THE PLEBISCITE The greatest aotivity is being manifested in all tbe Provinces in preparation for the approaching Plebiscite vote. As far as Ontario is concerned there appears to be an uncertainty In some quarters as to whether or not a fresh registration of vot- ers will be required in the pities and towns. It may be pointed out that the new Fran- chise aot, under which the Plebieoite will be taken, requ res that registration shall only be made when the Bete are more than a year old and as there was a registration last February for the Provincial election there is no necessity for registration this time. At other points where the system of registration is not in force the last vot- ers' lista are to be used and in the unor• ganized distriots special lists are being prepared. The indications are daily inoreasing that the fight will be a bitter one, both sides realizing how much depends on the result. The liquor interest, which claims"to have been quiescent in the Piovincial Plebiscite fights, is now in the thickofthe fray and will spare neither money nor labor to win. The Temperance party realizes that defeat on September 29th will set bank their cause for a generation at least and are, therefore, in a sense fighting for their lives. RETRENCHMENT AND REFORM The report of last year's work in the Post Office Department is a fairly conclus- ive reply to the criticisms that the Govern- ment is not carryingre-election out its P promises of retrenchment and reform; to cut down a deficit which has been steadily inoreasing from year to year until it was i n andto reduce quarterso three of a mill it in two years to almost vanishing point is an achievement reflecting the highest credit upon the ability of the Postmaster General. When it is further remembered that this has been done while the service has been materially improved in every direction, the public satisfaction will be greatly increased. Even if the adoption of Imperial penny postage does result in a temporary deficit the electors will find no grounds for complaint. LATEST YUKON SENSATIONS The Extra Session (Special Correspondence to NEw ERA 1 Up at the Hotibe the debate was con- tinued with considerable animation on both bides, although very few new points were brought out. The new members had a chance to ti y their wings and did fairly well. Mr Care• callen is not a close ri a,ouer and was sadly off in his arithmetic. Having vehemently exclaimed that any school boy could figure out the result of the popular vote in the last election, fell into an aritbtnetical blunder himself that would have cost the said school hoy a caning. He dealt with the li• quor vote, but in the face of docu- mentary evidence that the liquor vote was almost a unit for the ()unset va- tives, he failed to make any headway, and his arguments on the other ques- tions were alike stale. It must be re- membered that Mr Carscallen is only a newly fledged Tory and has not gut right into the "ways that are dark and tricks that are vain" of his new friends. Mr Conmee followed and bet Col. Matheson right as to I he number of officials employed by the Government as fire rangers and inspectors in the timber districts. Col. Matheson claim- ed that there were a "horde" of Gov- ernment officials and that Mr Conmee owed his election to their votes. When asked to say how many he declined to answer, and was informed by Mr Con- mee that there were just six in the whole Province. Nut much of a hos de certainly, but this is another samp'e of the wild ravings of the Opposition. Me Wardell followed with a t eck- lessness in making charges that, fairly astonished his Mende and and foes. These charges were decisively and fatly denied by Mr Conmee, and Mr Wardell had to retract. The floor of the House is a danger ous place to draw the long bow; it a member does not know what he is shooting at be had better not shoot. Mr Ross followed and pointed out that many of the Conservative seats had been won through the three -cor- nered contests. The splitting of the Liberal vote had made a difference of some 12 in the Government'smeJority. Although every imaginable point had been considered in the debate Mr Whitney called on his followers to keep up the discussion, which was done, and the vote was not taken till 2.30 a,m The amendment to the amendment which was a straight party vote, was defeated—yeas 43, nays 49. Mr Craig, absent throuh illness,ss and the Speak- er's eak- er'aVote, shows that Mr Hardy has a majority of 8 at present. With this division the principal interest of the session is over. The Opposition have exhausted their resources, and, al- though t hey may talk to kill time, the final result can hardly be doubted, General Greely's 278 days of Nothing has shown the extreme party rancour of the average Conservative critic so clearly of the Government as theom- com- ments that have beer made upon the al- leged maladministration in the Yukon. Every kind of discreditable story, no mat- ter how improbable, has been eagerly seized upon, and no attempt made to verify the charges before publication. Recent arrivals from the gold fields, however, tell a different story altogether, and until an opportunity offers of securing definite in• formation, it would at least be more digni• fled to withhold judgment. THE GOVERNOR'S VALEDICTORY The valedictory tour of the Governor General and the Countess of Aberdeen is drawing to a conclusion, and it is pleasant to learn it has been enjoyable and benefi- cial alike to their Excellencies and the country. S ince they left Ottawa on July Y 9th, they have had each day pretty well filled np, having stopped at every place of any importance' between here' and the Pacific coast. Each stop has been made the occasion of a public demonstration which wee invariably characterized by ex- treme.c^rdiality and warm expressions of personal regard. Their itinerary is not yet ended, for from Muskoka, where they have been this week, they go east to fulfil esIyeral engagements, among them to take part in entertaining the delegates at the International Conference at Quebec. On returning to Ottawa preparations will be commenced for their final departure as, according to present arrangements, they sail for England about November 12th. In the line of illustrious tenants of Ri- deau Hall the Earl and Countess of Aber- deen will ever take a prominent place in the affections of the people. C. P. R. CoNCEaaIONs The concessions secured from the C.Y.R. when drawing up the Crow's Nest Railway contract a year ago are now coming into effect and the first reduction of a cent and a half per 100 lbs. in the western freight rates became operative on the first of this month. Under the agreement this will be followed by further reductions and the farmers of the Territories will no doubt prove more appreciative of the benefits thus secured for them by the Government than were the members of the Opposition who ridiculed the arrangement on the floor of the House. THE NORTH SIMCOE BYE -ELECTION While no date yet has been set for the by-election in North Simooe to fill the va- cancy created by the premature death of Dalton McCarthy, there is great aotivity th-oughout the riding, and the political pot is at boiling point. The indications are the fight will be between Mo0arthyites and straight Conservatives; and with the fullest appreciation of the potency of the name and memory of their late respected leader, the McCarthyitea are pressing the claims of Leighton G. McCarthy, a nephew of the deceased member. -Should the con- test develop along the lines indicated it is more than likely that no straight Liberal candidate will be planed in the field. AN ANTIDOTE FOR rEIPLINa George N. Morang'a Midsummer Annual "Our Lady of the Snnehine" is proving deservedly popular and has had a phenom. enal sale in all parts of the Dominion. As a bright, comprehensive, and in every way delightful antidote to our friend Kipling'e brilliant exercise of poetioal imagination, ':Our Lady of the Sunshine" is a most sat- isfactory quarter's worth. A Successful College. Mr. A. S. Nimmo, proprieter of Nimmo's Business College, informs us that during the past year 116 graduates secured expel. lent positions as a result of the careful training reoeived at this college. Young men and women contemplating a course at a business college will do well to communi- cate with Mr Nimmo before making a se- leotion of a college to attend. Death. The true story ofthose2 8 days of sof- 7 Y fering by Greely's heroic little band of ex- plorers in the Arctic region has been told by General Greely himself, for the first time, for the October Ladies Home Jour. nal. For years General Greely hos kept an unbroken silence about his fearful ex- perience and that of his companions, as they dropped dead one by one at hie side, and it was only after the greatest persua sign that the famous explorer was induced to write the story. Triumph for Our Butter. Cheering news for Canadian farmers comes from Great Britain, Big British dealers now assert that they are able to sell Canadian butter at as high a price as has hitherto been obtained for the Danish pro- duct, which has ruled the rooat for years. Canadian butter is really. excellent value, the L n 'en expert says, and it is the Most profitable article on the market today, the packing and general get-up being highly complimentary to our shipper4. This very high commendation is, of course, only ex- tended to first grade butter; there is still marketed in Canada much butter that re- sembles the consistency of axle grease. Now that the lesson bas been learned, that for well -made butter, properly put up, a good, paying price will always be paid, there should be a constant endeavor on the part of our farmers to improve and to maintain the standard of their dairy prodult. rLet it not bo forgotten that it is about as easy to produce afirst-class article as a poor on e and much more profitable.
