FOR SALE AT A BARGAIN.â€"A Parliament opened on 16th March. It is now 11th April. and yet so great is the criticism on the government's lack of policy that the debate on the address will not be concluded until next week. The government practically proposes only one new piece of legislation in the speech from the throne. i.e., a redistribu. non of the tidings. The constitution re- quires that after each decennial census there shall be a redistribution of seats throughout the Dominion. fhere is no DrOVi-HOD for any other. The general opin- ion even among independent Liberals is that the government is committing a seri- ous mistake in interfering with the tidings, more especially as by the constitution there must be a redistribution after the census of 1901‘, or a couple of years hence.

Suitable reward will be given by leaving the am: at DR. VROOMAN’ S, Corneer Peel and Cambridge- sts. â€"I4- 2. The difference between the Conservative redistributions and the Liberal gerrymand era is this. The former was obligatory under the authority of the constitution, the latter is not. Conservatives or any party in power after the 1901 census must, where the unit of representation requires it, change the ridings more orless. Quebec always retains a, membership of. sixty-five. The total population of Quebec divided by sixty-five, therefore, furnishes the unit of representatmn for the other province-i. Thus, as in the past, when Ontario, after the decennial census, would be entitled to additional members, as determined by dividing its population by the unit of representation, the constituencies must be increased in numberâ€"say from eighty-nine to ninety-two. It is evident to anyone that under such conditions there must be con- siderable changes of boundaries, for who can alter eighty-nine blocks into nine=y- two without much change. But, such are rendered necessary after each decennial census, under the constitution to preserve the balance of provinces.

The motive i-s merely to acquireaparty advantage. No one should seriously con- demn a party for biking: to their own advantage in a. redistribution after the decennial census rendered necessary by the constitution; but to go in cold blood and perpetrate a. gerryniander on the eve of a. census is regarded as anything but statcinmnship. The Liberals are greatly perturbed on the prohibition question, and their profes- sional heelers of the Prohibition Aliimme are sieking every means to remove from the government the onus of having hum- bugged the people and squandered quartet of a million dollars of the people‘s earnings in a vote which they now retuse to recog- nize. | C0].

Hughes has also given notice that. on the first, opportunity he W111 move and discuss the following motions: MR. W. FLAVBLLE MAKES SOME RE- MARKS ABOUT HIS IMPRESSIONS OF THE OLD COUNTRY. As is the annual custom of the firm of Dundas and Flavelle Bros, :1 representa- tive visited the British and European markets in March. This year Mr. W. Flavelle made the trip, and while he was especially interested in the fabric market, yet the expanding business of this enter. prising firm led him to investigate other departments of trade with the aid of; the firm's representatives in the British; centres. Besides this Mr. Flavelle, with the instincts of a business man. gathered sundry definite impressions concerning branches of trade in which he and his firm are not directly interested. Since his return Mr. Flavelse has been a very" busy man, but recently talked briefly to} The Watchman-Warder on old Country} topics. In the course of his remarks Mr. 3 Elavelle said : "I had a splendid trip over; on the St. Louis of the American line. I; had not been in England for two )ears,i and the thing that struck me most wasi the immense change in sentiment with‘ regard to Canada. We are well known over there and they like us. The Queen's jubilee celebration changed their ideas about us and gave us favor among them. This furor is shown in the numerous ways - in the press and on the street,â€"but its ‘most practical manifestation is in trade. 1They now prefer to buy Canadian pro- ducts. It has been gradually growing upon their minds that our products are oi an high order and of vast quantity. The stuii‘that we have already sent over has met with great favor. I don‘t thunk any country in the world can supply agricul- tural products of greater variety and better quality than Canada. Our high latitude is in our favor, for it is said that not only are the “Men of the North“ the finest type in the world, but that every other product that can be grown in the northern latitudts is of a superior quality. Probably that is true. At any rate our butter. poultry, beef and dairy products have found great favor among English men, and that is as high a recofiimend as they could well receive. A BOUT FEEDIN G IIOGS There is our bacon too. It is making: good headway, but the Canadian farmer cannot hear it too often that he must feed pronerly. That means that pork must not be wholly corn-fed. They believe over there that some corn is all right. but there must not be enough to make the bacon «oft and fat. So far we have done well and entirely out-stripped the Americans, but it wili require care and patience to gain a first place in the English market against the Irish and Danish, which are still along way ahead of us, and it is a market worth having. The amount of poultry consumed by the English people is enormous. Our agent at Liverpool sent us word some time ago that he could handle 20,000 chickens per week for several months if we could get them for him, but of course we could not get that many for him in a year. Farmers ought to grow fowl of all sorts for the English market, but in turkeys and chickens especially there is a most profit- able industry possible. If in chickens they will et the larger sorts such as Plymouth ocks, Wyandottes and oxher large breeds that will dress say five pounds, there is no limit L0 the 'number that can be soldâ€"and at good prices too. Russia is getting upon the English market very rapidly with poultry and eggs. Enormous quantities are produced in that country, and their railways are opening up in every direction so that they will be formidable competitors in this particular product. There is a meat demand for canned‘ goods in England. That is of interest to us, only with regard to vegetables and fruits, for the Australians cangbeat us in meats. They have a cheaper raw material. Of course when our Northwest has been develope'l a littlemore, we may be able to compete with Australia even in canned beef and mutton, but. not now. As to fruits and vegetables, though, vast quantities will be bought there and some ‘place will manufacture them. I think a START A ( A\1\"I ”G FACTORY THE POULTRY MARKET The Academy has been making up for lost time during the past week. It has also been making ample amends for a couple of scurvy productions of the week before. \Ve do not remember that in the same length of time so many really excel- lent performances have been presented here as those beginning on Wednesday evening last with that old favorite, “Uncle Tom's Caoin,” and endlug luau nigm in “David Garrick," the third of a. series by that clever young actor Paul Caleneuve. No larger house has greeted any mm- pany in recent years than that before which Stetsons "Uncle Tom's Cabin" pla v (11 on Wednesday night nf la~t week. The parade had created a good impression, the matinee had been enjoyed by 300 women and children, and the.e s musnclu Hie title anyway. Uncle Tom and Eva have made friends of humanity for ever. Some of the most striking incidents at the z W. l-UVv‘l were well presented. 0f necessity, the narrative was foilmved in 01-h a. \H'\' fragmentary way, but the omission of detail detracted little £10m Lheleswu six-s. Stowe’e book was written to (hurry. Slavery and its villanies were there, the heroism of the black, the piety and patience of Uncle Tom. rhv (efiihlr l‘« my. incorrigible and cunning, litt‘e Eva's melting pmttle and intheoic divalh .vu-re all there. The specialties were particularly good, and provided a glaiellll I‘clml 1mm some of the most ser20us passaues. On Thursday evening the local Dramatic Club tendered Mr. Fred Burke, the oblig- ,ing manager of the Academy, a benefit. On that occasion this aggregation ot‘ clever amateurs presented the capital farce “ My Awful Dad." Apart from the merit of this reparkling comedy, a good deal of diamutic aoility was displayed by the young ladies and gentlemen compri~ed in mm .- uh, The house was not as large as on the night before, but those Who attended “rte thoroughly appreciative and pleaSed. The plot was simple. A somewhat gay old gentleman named Adonis Evergreen was, by his frequent demands for money, a dismay to his son. a young barrister in London. After putxinz up wish this dis- comfort for some years. the young man was rid of it by the old gentleman's marry- ing a wealthy widow. Around this out- line many amusing and clever situations are gathered, and the Whole l'n' .» . ; - a a very wholesome and bright bit of dia- logue and acting. As the 0.: e: r. “rte-3n, Mr. Will Hainbly of thr Bank of Mt"' ~e=i| staff, scored a decided success. There have been uunv-rous prtfe “owls lure \\ ho exhibited much less ability in 7;.king their parts than did Mr. Ham'ly. H:- task was not an easy one. As the central figure he was Occupied, with little respite, the whole evening, and maintained his sprightly manner and excellent leading to the last. The physical demands of this part were not light, but Mr. Haml) 3 was quite equal to them. He hall a very intelligible and consis'ent (- Vimpliora of the character he was actinmai dintt rm eted it with admirable vigor and «a-‘ih-ulOL. it Mr. Hambly should ever tire of the count- ing-house he has a congenial calling in the stage. Mr. Willie Baker had a straight walking part, requirinz composure-and efi‘ective utterance. His rendering had both, and 'in a character that provided little opportunity for. striking work Mr. Wm canning factory started right here v. ould make money. THE PAST LINE On the way over I met Wlbh Mr. Dohell who has been investigating the project for a fast line of Atlantic steamers. He said that the ship-buildiv'g industrv has greatty revived and the scheme cannot now a t a hearing at reasonable rates. It would be a dec1ded advantagq-, so much perm..ps to carry freight, for there is a service now equal to the requirememe of the tradr, but as an adverti=ing medium {Or lfis country. Imean by that, that it would pay Canada by inducing the travel f1 om Europe to China and vice i’eI‘Su. It Womd make the country known. :\ow the American steamships and railways do nearly the entire transcontinental traffic, and thousands of people pass bv our dr‘oxs and hardly know we exxst. The Quaker Oats people spent half a million doliars last year in advertisin g.

A rominent and interesting figure in the p ay was Mrs. Bibbs, wno was impersonated by film. A. U'Lough in. Mrs. O'Loughlin was complete m.:ter of this animated and entertaining ( nuacter. Perhaps no other member of the club was quite as much at home, and objm tined the character undertaken so thoroughly as did Mrs. O’Loughlin. To her vil‘orts. we ' eiio. ve, much of the credit for the prepara- tion and execution of the niece “as due. As Mrs. \Vedagain, Mi~s O‘Leriry merited. and has received unstinted praise. Her acting was marked by astrcngth and poise unusual in an amateur. Together with this, her splendid voice and pmsexme ren- dered Miss O’Leary a most pleasing and effective character. Dr. Day was exceed- inely well made up, and his impersonation of the Dutch baron left the impression that he knew his part and regarded this particular Dutchman asa \‘ei v decorcus gentleman. Messrs. Frank blmnnon, Leigh Knight. Bernie McAlpine. 'l‘. Sprattt and Herbert Beall, and Misses E. Knowl- son. E. Neelands and Miss M. \l'alters took subordinate parts well, and contri- buted their share to the success cf the play. To Messrs. Begbie and Britton belongs the credit for a very clever optical illusion presented earl} _in_the evening. On Monday night Paul Cazeneuve and a strong company gave a splendid presenta- tion of the great German drama “Faust" before a good audience. As Mephisto, Mr. Cazeneuve is a success. While witnout the massive roportions and stentorian voice of Griffit , who played that here last, Mr. Uazeneuve is not seriously deficient in these qualities, while his facial expression. reading and gesture are in many respects superior to those of his contrere. The great teaching lines of Goethe‘s immortal drama were well brought out. Faust and Marguerite were exceedingly well repre- sented by Mr. Davis and Miss Taylor ..... . On Tuesday night the same company play- ed “Don bzesar de Bazan,“ a romantic Spanish drama, before a fair house, but not as laree as it would have been if Lindsay people exercised ordinary jucgu-ent in their play-going. The acting and reading were excellent throughout. A~ we go to press Mr. CazeneuVe’s company is playing the comedy “David Garrick," “hich ter- minates the engagement. It: cahould be impresaed on Canadians. THE ACADEMY OF MUSIC 75 Cents per annum fa 5*“
