fi ‘ m. EEK. it Alexander Mackenzie. Within a year after the death of the i great conservative Chieftain, Canada has been called upon to mourn the loss j of his ablest, most successful and most 1 honored Opponent. The death of the: Hon. Alexander Mackenzie has remov- ‘ ed from the public life of Canada one? of her foremost citizens, and by the verdict of ”all classes one of her best public men in the truest sense of the term. The tribute paid to his memory by a leading journal opposed to the party to which Mr. Mackenzie belong- ed ably sums up the noble character istics of the man. “In the roll of “ Canada’s noted men no one excelled “ Alexander Mackenzie in sincereity of “ purpose, courage of conviction, or “ earnest desire for his county’s welfare; “ and he had few squals in intellectual “ ability. If less success attended his “ efforts for his policy and his party, “the fault was not in his head. He “ was loyal to his friends after their “ loyalty to Hill was open to question, “ and as steadily loyal to his country. “ There could not well be a higher “ type set for imitation before the “ younger generation in politics. He “ was honored by all men. * l“ * “ He who cmne to Canada unknown “ and pursued a straight path from the “ stonemason‘s block to the premier. “ ship, was able in after life to return “to his native land and receive the “ commendation of his sovereign, and “ the tribute of Scotland’s cities to a “ worthy countryman. If he bore no “ title, it was because he desired none ; “ as he needed none to ensure full “ honor to his name.” Great as were the political services of the deceaSed statesmen during his long public career, his sterling character and the invalu- able lessons which his life teaches are after all the greatest legacy he has left to his country, and the acknowledgment of his virtues by friends andjopponents alike during his life as well as in his death is the grandest tribute that could be paid to his memory.

Referring to the ‘ severity with which the act is enforced, the Buffalo Times enters the following protest: â€"“ Isn’t it carrying t sings too “ tar to refuse a Canadian sailor per- “ nussion to come to Buflalo to find “permanent employment on a large “ vessel? It .s advisable to keep out “ the Chinese, but our opinion of Can- “ adians in general is too high to coun- “ tenance such an apparent injustice.” IF the Mowat Government had had its own way, minors caught smoking wouldhave been sent to jail, whilst the sale of liquor would have been licensed on buffet railway cars. It is fortunate (the Ulflatcbman. THURSDAY APRIL 21. 1892. Immense Selection Editorial Notes. Artistic.

Mr. Meredith’s resolution making-it a corrupt practice for any one having any franchise from or any claim upon the government to contribute funds towards the carrying on of an election, did not meet the ap- proval of Mr. Mowahand this measure of reform was accordingly voted down by a straight party vote. Government contractors centributing to election funds at Toronto IS all rio ght apparently, whilst being a. ver} wrong thing at Ottawa. THE report of the Postmaster-Gen- eral shows an increase of business in all the various departments of postal work. The figures of this report are interesting, as they are a fair indication of the progress of the country, and in- creased activity in general business. The number of post offices is 8,061, being an increase of 148 over the pre- vious year. The railway mileage over which mails are carried increased by 309 miles. There were 1,168,960 more letters carried last year than in the pre- vious year, and 439,036 more of tran- sient papers, etc. The number of registered letters carried was 3,292,300, out of which only 155 .were lost, a number of the latter being traced and the loss made good. The revenue from the postal service was $3,374,887, showing an increase of $151,273, whilst the expenditure was $4,020,739, being AN important case, involving the liability of a railway company for the burning of property contiguous to its line, has recently been decided by Mr. 1 Justice Brooks in the Supreme Court at Sherbrookc. The plaintiffs in the case were the Guardian, the Scottish Union, the Fire Insurance Association, and the Hartford insurance companies, and the defendant the Quebec Central Railway company. The fire in question occurr- ed in the shipyard of Mr. Davie, near Levis, resulting in a loss of about $8,000. The companies mentioned were insurers, and paid the loss, taking subrogation under the rights of the owner against the railway company. The fire occurred on the St. Charles branch of the Intercolonial Railway, over which line the Quebec Central had control for the runing of trains. The defence for the latter company was that they did not cause the fire ; or if they did they were not liable, inasmuch as they used in running their trains the most approved appliances to guard against the setting of fires along their line. The judge over-ruled the plea, and gave judgment in favor of t1 6 in- surance companies an increase of only $80,044 over the previous year LONDON, April 18.â€"â€" Britons have good reason to grumble at the weather now prevailing. People were beginning to congratulate themselves upon an early spring, when suddenly there was a. change in the temperature, and ‘ midwinter weather again set in. Snow- storms prevailed throughout the length and breadth of the Kingdom, and the budding trees and sprouting crops were badly damaged. The telegraph service throughout the country was disorganiz- ed by the breaking down of wires by the weight of the sleet that formed on them, and poles were blown down in every direction. Many towns were, and are still, completely isolated by the heavy drifts and are barred from com- municazion with the outside world by the destruction of the telegraph lines. So great is the damage to the telegraphs that the ordinary force of linemen find themselves unable to repair the lines as fiquiekly as the demands of the service ‘ require and soldiers have been employ- ed to assist them. In the county of Essex the Stour, Blackwater and Lea Riding and other rivers have been swelled to an abnormal height by the storms, and in many places the country is flooded. In some parts the situation is serious. The losses incurred by farmers and fruit-growers are enormous. The meteorological observations show that the storm now prevailing is travel- ling in a north-westerly direction, and it is beginning to be felt in the Baltic. Despatches from Paris and places in the north of France state that hail and sleet are falling and the weather is bitterly cold. It is feared great damage is done to early crops. The troops at Shornelifle baraded to- d .y as usual on Easter Monday, and waited over an hour exposed to the boisterous and cold weath to be inspec- ted by the Duke of Cambridge, the commander-in-chief of the forces.

Soon afterward the duke' ar- riyed and found the parade ground de- serted. The soldiers were again sum- moned, and a short interview was held. Communication with the continent is still interrupted as a result of the Snow- storms of Saturday 5 A Secret Society of Tremendous Extent Found to Exist in the States_ CHICAGo, April Iiiâ€"A Minneapolis de. spatch says that that city is greatly excited over the discovery of a local society of anarchists whose parent organization is in Chicago. This society is a most powerful organization, and has branches in every large city in the union. The local society is a. particularly flourishing one, and al- though its meetings are held in the strict- est secrecy, neophytes are added at nearly every session. The agents of the society are servant girls or butlers. They secure employment in wealthy families, and nay : close attention to everything that occurs. The manner of living of the families is carefully noted, also the kind of food uSed on the table and the estimated cost of the same, the amount and kinds of wines drank, the furnishing of residhnces, the qualitv of clothes worn by the inmates, and in fact everything that goes to make up a first-class establishment. The agents make a weekly report of all this to the moiety. The ultimate object is not ap- parent, but the wealthy people of the city are already seeing Visions of dynamite bombs and other murderous missiles of assassins. At; Osgoode Hall on Monday, 11th inst, before V. C. Ferguson. a motion was made on behalf of the trustees of S. S. No. 18, Mariposa, for a mandamus to compel the municipal CounCtl of Mariposa to pass a by-law for the issuing of debentures to pay for a new school site and the erection of a new school house. For more than a year the question of change of site was agitated, and finally an award was made establish- ing the old site. The statute makes such an award binding for at least five years. I‘he agitation continued, however, and on 3 the presumed authority of a special meet: t int; held since the award, the trustees applied to the township Council to pass the required by-law. This the council refused to do; hence the motion of mandamus to compel them. On behalf of the trustees it was urged that the Council were obliged to pass the by-law, on it being shown that a majority vote of a special meeting of ratepayers had sanctioned the application for the loan. Council for the township argued, that notwithstanding: the impera- tive language of Sec. 115, it was the right as well as the duty of the council, in the interests of their tomiship and of these particular ratepayers, tosee that. the appli- cants had established a ('lCtl?‘ lot/«l right, to demand what they did; that Sec. 64 is to be read with See. 115 of the act, as a con- dition precedent, and that in the absence of proof that a majority vote had adopted the new site, the Council properly refused: also that the requisition, asking the do» hentures to be made payable in 10 years. was an improper interference with the discretion given to the Council by the sta- ftute, to extend payment over a term not lexceeding 30 years, and that the Court ‘ Would not deprive the Council of this dis- icretion. His Lordship ruled in favor of the township council on each of these points, and refused the mandamus, with costs to be paid by the trustees; but with- out prejudice to any application which they may choose to make on other mater- ial.

But, although it is a. tWo week’s ofibrt and is evidently meant to annihilate the school] master, (has he been reading (loldsmithi lately, think you? Ah! He must havel‘ been) yet, I see nothing very formidable in it. To my mind it seems an attempt. to write something which was forgotten before the end was reached; this is cer- tainly true of theintended second sentence in which he makes “Masterly effort” his subject, but fails to unfold his thoughts regarding it. I am sorry I cannot compl- ment him on either the brilliancy of his argument or the choiceness of his language. I fail to appreciate the elegance in such constructions as “frame an effort,” “great doubts," (but perhaps he meant grave doubts) and “own up.” Despite his dis- jointed sentences,I perceiveheis still blind to his own impertinence. or is always laboring under some hallucination con- cerning my future welfare and conjugal happiness. In his first proclamation, he has me intending to enter the mercantile hue! 1883, now he has me actually engaging in it. Let me assure the boy, and his ad- visers and abettors, that I am still teach- ing school with all the enthusiasm and energy which has hitherto characterized my labors in that calling ; that my plans for the future are not public property, and that all attempts of weak-minded youth to disclose them must ever prove futile. Last, but not least, he acknowledges that all his ravings about my matrimonial in- t tentions are purely imaginary, a. rather humiliating admission, I concede. It is really amusing to have a schoolboy wasting time in publishing vain imaginations about a. fellow-citizen. and then so astutely and courageously hide behind a. nom de plume in the spelling of which one cannot fail to be struck with the idea that he has made a mistakemriting “Cor” instead of “Our.” Sonooamsm.
