The Landon Daily News refuses all turl news on the ground of the bet- ting and gambling associated with ,racing,. Why is there not some great paper in. American that will follow .this noble example ? Our eat:anal government has driven lotteries out of the land, some of tlhe States forbid bookmaking at race tracks, and New York city, [older its present eeforcu nrtnt:itisiration, has brought the prince of gamblers, Oin- field, to brief, but it seems as though social games of chance turd batting on elections were. on the increase. The prizes played for at whist parties cost money. The moment a money rcn- sidexation of any kind enters into a game it ceaess'to be a recreat.tion and a pleasure, and becomes a business, Business cenductod on chance, luck and uncertainty, without possible re- gard to law or precedent or reason, is Most irrational and demoralizing. Gambling resorts are rightly termed `;Battle," A gambler cannot be a Christian, for he is full of supersti- tion. A gambler cannot be an hon- est man, for 'to e,uccced h: must load his dice and mark his cards. Gambl- ing leads not oto probable but to cer- tain ruin. . This vice prevails among all classes of society except God- fearing men. The poor match penn'es and the rich slake thousands au the turn of a card, both alike seeking to gratify ,and unnatural craving for ex- citement. All progress is dna `o the establishment of law and order, but the gambler lives in a world where there is neither law nor order, in a •seerld such as oaxiarchiets desire, the insane endure, and demons enjoy. A <ch!urcli that descends to the gambl- er's level, incl makes money by raf- fling, ought to be shunned as a pest. .A family that abstains from all gaanes of chance is the hope of any, commun- ity. . r A.i�r �ti ,,1,'h) F Y ,� LUTE SE:U1TY1 Genuine Carters Little Liver Pills.

Borden Proposes An Aatondntent Condemning the Plan of the Govern. =font—Says the 'Proposal Would lie Fatal to Any System of Stato.Owued Rahways in the West, Ottawa, April 6.—Tho ratification of the amended Grand Trunk Pacific agreement was moved yesterday by Sir Wilfrid Laurier, and the House entered with spirit once more upon a discussion of the National Trans- continental Railway. The Premier's speech was of an hour's duration, and was remarkable for its states- manlike grasp and concise presenta- tion of the details of the changes in the agreement. Sir Wilfrid was in happy form, and though the subject was nearly exhausted last session, he threw the new interest into it which its importance waimanted. He said there were many features of the transportation problem pressing for solution, but another transcontin- ental railway was of first import- ance at the present time. The eas- torn suction, in his judgment, was just as much needed as the western division. He bantered the Opposi- tion on their attitude to the "mountains of information," and said that if they would not come to the mountain, the mountain could not go to them. He added to the information on the northern regions by (,noting from the story of a Jesuit explorer, as published in 1671 in the Jesuit Relations. This early voyageur re- ported very favorably on the soil of northern Quebec and the James Bay basin. When the Opposition saw the nar- row extent of the modifications ask- ed for, Sir Wilfrid remarked, amid the cheers of his followers, they were surprised at the moderation of the Grand Trunk. He then explain- ed in detail the changes made, and justified the action of the Govern- ment in yielding to some of the re- quests of the company. The Prem- ier was listened to with intense in- terest by both sides of the House, and was frequently cheered by his followers. The Opposition Lender, Mr. R. L. Borden replied to Sir Wilfrid in a speech of three hours and forty minutes. Ho attacked the Government for having rejected the Opposition's amendment last fall, on the ground that the contract could not be altered, and thon reopening it and not making the changes they had proposed. He gave a revised estimate of the cost to the country, placing the amount at $150,000,000, or $171,000,000 if the bonds seel at only 90. Ho denied that the Opposi- tion were hostile to the G.T.R., but saw no use in granting public money without security that it would not be used to develop an American port. His dissatisfaction with the amend- ed contract led him to move an amendment, in which he declared for a system of national transportation which would include: (1.) The immediate construction and control by the Dominion of such linos of railway in the west to the Pacific as the enormous importance and increasing development of the great western country require. (2.) The extension of the Inter - colonial Railway to the Georgian Bay, and thence to Winnipeg, and the extension and improvement in the Province of Quebec and in the Maritime Provinces of the Govern- mental system. (3.) The development and im- provement of our canals and inland waterways, and the thorough and efficient equipment of our na- tional ports anti terminals on the Atlantic and Pacific, as well as on the St. Lawrence and on the great lakes. (4.) The thorough examination, exploration and survey of the coun- try between Quebec and Winnipeg, with a view to the future construc- tion of such lines of railway as may be found in the public interests. Mr. Sifton moved the adjourn- ment of the debate, and tho House adjourned at 10 o'clock. THAT TEMPERANCE BILL. Wliat Is In Premier's Mind Will Roach Public Through Rev. Mr. Rankin. Toronto, April 6.—Premier Ross last night drafted his reply to the deputation of Methodist and Baptist clergymen and laymen, who appealed for the fulfilment of tho Premier's pledge to the temperance people, and it will be in the hands of Rev. J. A. Rankin by 2 o'clock this af- ternoon. What is in the Premier's mind with reference to a prohibitory bill will therefore come to the public ear from Rev. Mr. Rankin, Calgary Scandal.

Toronto, April 6.—Tho Legislature quickly settled down to business yesterday after the holiday, for a great deal of 1lusiness remains yet to bo done. The whole day practically was spent in committee on the muni- cipal taxation bill. Tho bill was re- ported for,atlio purpose of having the innumerable amendments printed, but it was understood that it might then bo reported back for further consid- eration, 31ore Railway Taxation, Tho Premier introduced his bill for the taxation of railways, all of the proceeds of which aro to go to the Crown. The chief clause is as fol- lows: "Every railway company own- ing, operating or using a steam rail- way in this Province shall pay a tax of $80 per mile for one track, and $10 per utile for each addition- al track, when the line consists of two or more tracks, operated or used in any county in this Province, and $20 per mile for one track, and $5 per mile for each additional track so operated or used in unorganized territory, being the districts with- out county organization, except that a railway company owning and op- erating a steam railway not exceed- ing 100 miles in length from ter- minus, and not being leased to or amalgamated with or forming part of the system of any other com- pany, shall pay a tax of $15 per mile for one track, and $5 per mile for each additional track." The bill further provides that the measure- ment of trackage shall not include switches, spurs or sidings. Hon. Mr. Gibson introduced a bill respecting police magistrates, and one to amend the election law. Met Sugar Encouragement. Mr. Ross introduced a bill to give further encouragement to the beet sugar industry. This has already been explained, being a continuance of the Sc. a pound duty for a further period of three years. Third headings. The following bills were read a third time: To amend tho Agricul- tural and Arts Act (Dryden); re- specting the Lac Seul, stat Portage e. Keewatin Railway Company (Smith, Sault Ste. Marie); respect- ing the Township of Torb!nto and the Toronto & Mimeo Railway Com- pany (Smith, Peel); respecting the City of Toronto (Pyne); respecting the Nepigon Railway Company (Smith, Sault Ste. Marie); to amend the law respecting the des- truction of noxious weeds (Cameron, Huron). Protection of Witnesses. The statuto law amendment act, which received its second reading, contained a number of clauses, which Hon. Mr. G ibson said were of not much importance, but there was one section introduced ,at the in- stance of Toronto. This clause pro- vided that in any investigation un- der section 324 of the municipal act no person shall be excused from answering any question on the ground that tho answer may tend to criminate hint, but yet the an- swer shallnotiv be received as evi- dence against him in any trial under any Ontario act. Hon. Mr. Gibson, in reply to Mr. Crawford, explained that the clause did not interfere with any proceedings under the crim- inal code of the I)oininion. Mr. Whitney declared himself op- posed to any such legislation, on the ground that it tended to encour- age perjury. In committee on the bill to amend the game protection act by prohibit- ing the use of guns in the Tcmagami forest reserve during the close sea- son for defer, Mr. Matheson said that he had been told that the Italians on the Temiskaming Railway had cleaned up all the game there. Hon. Mr. Gibson laughingly replied: "That is just what i would expect. There is no close season for the Italians." Attorney -General Gibson's muni- cipal amendment act contains a clause making controllers liable to the same proceedings as the mayor or aldermen of a municipality. It is retroactive in its effect, and will validate the quo warranto proceed- ings instituted against controllers of the city of Toronto. municipal Taxation. A new principle of taxation was suggested by Iluti. Mr. Gibson in committee. on the bill respecting municipal taxation. It had been sug- gested to him that there was a ground rent, an unearned increment, which there was no reason to ex- empt, xentpt, even though the land itself was taxed. Messrs. \Vhitnie.. Foy, Beck and Crawford were opposed to it, and Mr. Hoyle supported it. 'l'lu>, Attorney -General remarked. that he had suggested it in order to elicit a discussion, and would drop it for the present, though the principle might be heard from in the future. The Municipal Taxation Bill was further discussed, and the committee , rose at 10.45 o'clock. Mr. Graham's 13111 Killed, Tho special committee to Which was referred G. P.

Here are some complimentary proverbs regarding women: A spauish rhyme has it—"Were a woman as little as the is good. A pea- pod would make her a gown and a hood." An old English saying run ; "IC a mau lose a wife and a farthing he will be soiry he lost the farthing." A French adage goes: ,"A man of straw is worth a woman of gold." And a German: "There ore only two good women in the world --ono is dead and the other can't be found." The Scotch say: "Honest men marry soon; wise inen never," and "The next best thing to no wife is a good wife." The Arabian declares: "Words are women, deeds are men." The Persian sass that a wcmeu's wis- dom is uuder her heel, and that women and dragons are best ant of the world, The German affirms that every daugh- ter of Eva would rather be beautiful than good, and also asserts that whatever theie is mischief brewing a women anda priest are at the bottom of it. Timelier from the proverbs, adages and the like, we find that many emiuent writers have penned opiuioas the reverse of complimentary to the sex.

Farewell to the home where my child- hood was blessed, The home of my fathers before; The fields where they toiled and the ground where they rest— I go to enjoy them no more. I go with a [;top that as fettered with dread, And with heart to my fate unresign• ed; While the shades of necessity darken ahead, The sunset of joy fades behind. Though the flow'rs there I cherished still smile in the light, My smile there no longer will shine; But though morning wipes from them the tears of the night, They still bear the moisture of mine, Till I have forgctten the kind words and free (In silence though long have they slept). And the feelings unspoken, still dearer to me, And the tears of affection we wept; Till I have forgotten the room of my birth, The place of my mother's fond care, Tho love -inscribed circle around the dear hearth, With parent and child mingling there; Till I have forgot how the skies were o'erbent In shining or storm-low'ring hour; How the season would charm as they came and they went, In blight or iu bud or in flower. Till then how the visions of home I shall con, Though far be my wandering track! While cruel misfortune is driving me on; Reflection is calling me back. Farwell to the home where my child- hood was blest, The home of my fathers before; The fields where they toiled and the ground where they rest— I go and enjoy them no more. —John Cluck Murray, in Boston Ideas.

Thomson, Esq., of Orillia, Vice -President Standard Chemical Company of Toronto, Tells of a Visit to the Muskoka Free Hospital for Consumptives. GREATLY IMPRESSED WITH WORK BEING DONE. Personally Raises Several Hundred Dollars to Help • Lessen the Load of Debt. There can be little doubt that the National Sanitarium Association is handicapped in its great work for Consumptives in the fact that its two institutions in Muskoka are far away from any large centre of population. Few people have an opportunity to see for themselves the magnificent work that is being done. These hospitals are away from the public eye. .Any, however, who do visit them, are united in their commendation of the splendid appointments of the place, and, best of all, of the real joy and hope that is being brought to many suffering ones. We are glad to have the opportunity of publishing the following letter from Mr. Win. Thomson, of Orillia, one of Canada's best known lumbermen, which tells what he has seen Himself. It reads : W. J.
