The impression is that Mr. Blake would have Canadians believe that they can never get anything out of Great Britain, no matter what the dominion may do to benet British trade. This is re- garded as an Irish separatist assertion. The following sentence in Mr. liluke s speech has been vigorously criticized. In his speech Mr. Blake said: "Confederation was accomplished, and since confederation has been accomplished. the English gov- ernment hnve, in the most unmistakable fashion, given the government of Canada to understand that from that time forth we must not expect that the British people or the,Eng|'u.-h government should be called upon to take any active part in the de- fence or protection of Canada. . . that if we should unhappily come into collision with the United States, it was ourbwn arms and our own stout hearts that we must look to for protection.

NAPANI-2E,Dec. ll.-'l`he matter (isms poor house for Napanee has long been der consideration by the charitably-disposi ' ed citizens, and a deputation waited on the county council on` Thursday afternoon last. and again laid l 3 matter before them. The arguments in favor of the scheme were set forth by each member of deputation, but it looked as if the matter would again be laid over for consideration. The commissioners said in their remarks that they found the scheme was opposed by the country people. and they would be ready to endorse it when public opinion was in.favor of the undertaking, and we hope that public opinion will be in favor in the very near future. for a poor house would be the means of ridding the country comparatively of the tramp nuisance, and that alone should be a great incentive. The charity of kind-hearted citizens has been sadly abused by those gentlemen of leisure. ll- \l7..,I........J....
