other outsiders aro not ware that these
diatribes emanate from partisans hostile
to the Adininistratiou that has launched
the Grand Trunk Pacific, or from per-
sons interested in rival luso, Canadians
themselves are thus largely responsible
for the misconceptions concerning their
country its resources and climate. It is
unfortunate that it should be so, They
manage such things better in the United
States, where the outs, while not sparing
the ins, never forget that they are Amer-
icans.
NOTES AND COMMENTS.
The Advanee last week exhibited a
painful display of self-righteousness, as
Well as a lamentable lack of ethics of
Modern journalism.
His Tionor the Lieutenant -Governor
on Tuesday afternoon at 3 o'clock pro.
rogned the Outario Legislature aud gave
formal, asseut to the 107 bills paused dur-
ing the session. The 1004 volume of the
Ontario statutes will not be quite so
large as that of last year, when 133 bills
Were put through. Owing to the des-
truction in the great fire of the printing
offices of Warwick Bros. & Ratter there
are only 40 printed "royal assent" copies
of the bills, the balance being in. manu-
script form.
In an article last week, the Wingham
Advanee iusiuuates that it withheld "a
very sharp communication about the
TIlsee simply to return good for evil."
This reminds us that some .s eeks ago our
local cotem stated that it felt like re-pro-
dncing from the Toronto News a des•
oriptive article of another journalist in
the county, bat refrained froth doing so:
and we in common with many others in
Wingham, have as yet failed to get a
glimpse of the article to which our neigh-
bor referred.
Since Sir Hibbert Tupper's Yukon
torpedo exploded so disastrously on
board his own ship, the Tory leaders
have not ventured to bring a siugle
specific charge of corruption or personal
wrongdoing of any kind against the
present Ministers. And yet, although
they still delight to speak of their party
as a "party of gentlemen" -upon this
head see Sir Mackenzie Bowell's utter-
ances on the "nest of traitors" -they
talk vaguely in private against the honor
of Ministers and hint that if they saw fit
they could unfold a shocking tale. It is
not easy to deal with opponents of this
moral calibre. About all one can do is to
paraphrase the sporting maxim and say,
put up your accusations or shut np.
Seeking Advice.
In a recent issue of the Toronto Mail
and Empire the following questions and
answers appeared: --
A, B., Winghatn -Qa.-A got judg-
ment in the Division Court against B,
and garnisheed B's wages. B. assigned
his wages to C. Which has a right to
get the money, A. or C?
Aus.-If the assigument was executed
before the garnishee order was issued, it
will take precedence; but if the garnishee
order was issued and served before the
assignment was executed and delivered,
thea the garnishee order will take pre-
cedence.
T. H., Wiugham.-Qu -A sold a
horse to B, aud B gave a cheque on the
bank for the price. A toad B that he did
not know of anything wrong with the
hors'. B found out that the horse was
blind of ore eye, and he went to the
bank aud stopped payment on the cheque
aud took the horse back to A bat A
would not take it and has sped on the
cheque; will witnesses be admitted to
prove that they would nct believe B?
Ans.-It is always admissible, where
there is a conflict of testimony, to pro-
duce evidence affecting the "credibility"
of either of the parties to the action, or
of a witness whose testimony is sought
to be impeached. B's evidence cannot
be uccessfally impeached merely by a
person swearing that he would not be-
lieve B alien oath. It must be shown
that B's "reputation for veracity,"
where he is known, is so bad that hie
oath ought not to be accepted, when
contradicted by another witness.

Mr, Northrup declared in the recent
debate that the Opposition would have
supported the Grand Trunk Pacific if
the Government had started the line
at North Bay. He is probably mis-
taken. On a through line stopping at
North Bay, traffic from the West would
go by way of Ontario to Portland in
winter, and the Tories would have been
quick to point this out and condom the
Government for its disloyalty. The ex-
tension to Moncton will not only open
Northern Qnebec and Central New
Brunswick to settlement, but give Cana-
dian winter ports a chance to thrive. A
Halifax paper estimates that at present
they do not handle more than 10 per
cent. of the winter exports of the Domin.
ion west of Montreal. Sir Wilfrid
Laurier would like to see us less de-
pendent on American ports and the
building of the Grand Trunk Pacific af-
fords an excellent opportunity for divert-
ing more Canadian traffic to Halifax and
St. John.
We complain that Englishmen regard
Canada as a land of ice and snow, bears
and beavers, as Voltaire did a century
and a half ago. But why blame them?
Here is the whole Tory party declaring
that the Iarger half of Ontario and
Quebec, which. will be penetrated by the
Grand. Trunk Pacific, is a subarctic
waste through whish none but madmen
or boodlers would think of building a
line. Certain allies of the party in
Canada and England go further and de-
scribe the country which the Grand
Trunk Pacific will traverse west of
Winnipeg as a region too poor by nature
to furnish much freight in the form of
wheat or cattle, frosts occurring every
rnonth of the twelve, Englishmen and

Of a, girl and of a boy,
Of a guileless youth and awkward
And a maiden rather coy.

'Tis a tintype we htid taken
At a picnic, long ago.
There's her hand upon my shoulder;
What a silly looking -gee
See the way that hair is plastered -
Is it possible that's me
Yet I thought I was a wonder,
She did, too -she told me so
Wheu we had our tintype taken
At a picnic, long ago.

(Baltimore American.)
Two weeks ago I envied him
The millions he bad got;
But now his pile is just as slim
As mine is, like as not,
Bnt he is worse than I, because
• I'm used to it, you see,
And he, though wondrous rich he was,
Is now as poor as me.
In climbing up he didn't seem
'lo care who else was broke 1
He vowed he'd realize his dream -
No thought for other folk.
But now he knows jest how it feels
To be a bnman wreck,
And have the world's financial heels
Cavorting on his neck.
I was impatient when I knew
He'd maria a monstrous stack.
I sighed, "What ever will I do -
Alas, alas, slack!"
I thought me such a common dub,
With skilless, nseless hands -
Again I've learned that every tub
On its own bottom stands.
Yet I've some troubles, like as not,
That Sully'd hate to own,
Just as there's some that Sally's got
Would make me sweat and groan,
The lesson, then. from Sully is
Along this special line ;
He's glad my worriment ain't his,
I'm glad that his ain't mine.
Live Stook Markets.
Toronto, April 20. -There was a fair
run at the city cattle market to -day, the
offerings amounting to 70 loads, with
1,235 head of cattle, 300 sheep and lambs,
1,200 hogs and 140 calves. There was a
fairly brisk trade, good export cattle and
choice butchers being in good demand.
The market on the whole was about
steady, a little above quotations at the
close of the market last week.
Export -Several good loads offering
and bought up resdily at from $4.60 to
$4.80 the top.
Butchers -There is a good demand for
neat handy butchers' cattle, about 900 to
1,000 pounds, and none too many of this
class offering. Some extra nice butchers'
heifers and steers sold at $4.40 to $4.50.
Feeders and stockers -There is a good
market for choice short -keep feeders and
light stockers. Prices steady at $3.75 to
$4.25 and $4 40.
Sheep and. lambs -Tho market is
steady, with a little firmer feeling for
good grain -fed yearling lambs.
Hogs -The market is a little firmer
this week, best selects being quoted at $5
and lights and fats at $4.75.
The following are the quotations:
