10 15 The Waterworks. The town council held a meeting on Tuesday evening for the discussion of the contract for the waterworks recom- mended by the joint committee of members of the Board of Trade and council. Messrs. John Kennedy, J. B. Knowlson, Edward Flood, and Col. Deacon were the representatives of the Board of Trade on the committee present. After the most careful con- sideration for several weeks, the committee recommended the acceptance 1 Che *fllflatcbman. THURSDAY. MAY -;-. everv other grade up to $1.50 per roll. Gent WALL PAPER.

It is important that all entitled to the [franchise should have their names ' placed upon the lists. The question arises, whether after all it matters much to the country whether those should have a vote or not, who:are so indiffer- entabouttheinivflegesofthefranchkm as to require that the necessary stepsi for the putting of their names upon the 1 lists should be attended to by others. 9 Were both political parties to leave the public severely alone in the matter‘ we presume the result would be quite safe enough. But where one political party is active in the worlf of revision, whilst the other is negligent, the case is entirely different. It is to be hoped, therefore, that both organizations will do the work thoroughly, so that the , lists when prepared will represent the full voting strength of each consti- tuency. THE effect which Unrestrlctea ne- ciprocity would have upon our cattle trade with Great Britain= is clearly defined in the following comment of the Toronto Mail. As the general election EULLUUDJJ vvu».-- .r_-v- country. While the operations of the company would be of great benefit to Three Rivers they would inflict great in- jury upon the Whole Canadian cattle trade, in case they led the British Government to schedule our cattle in British ports on the same terms as American cattle. It is, in fact, reported that the Minister of Agriculture has been officially advised from England that this would be done, in which case the duty of our Government is plain.” SECRETARY BLAINE has not yet abandoned the pretensions of the United States to the exclusive right to Behring Sea. He cites, in defence ot his pc sition and that of his country, the right which Great Britain exercises in regulating the fishing in the gulf ex- tending inland from a straiwht line ‘running fiom Duncansbay Head, in Caithness, to Rathray Head, on the coast of Aberdeenshire, in Scotland. The two cases are scarcely a parallel. There are no promontories in Alaska running out on both sides of the Behring Sea, so as to entitle the latter I to be considered a hay or gulf, or in} 1nd sea. It is an open sea, pure and simple, dotted With islands. Mr. Blaine endeavors to get around the difi‘iculty by submitting the question :4â€" “\Vhy may not the United States prescribe a space around the Pribylofi‘ islands, in which similar prohibitions may be enforced?” The answer to this ‘ is easy, that international law has . already prescribed a three-mile limit , around these islands, and along the . shores of Alaska as well. THE deputation of citizens which [ i‘. waited upon the town council on Mon- l i day night advocated a scheme in which l :3, all classes of the community are equally Fl interested. The purchase of ground: for a prOper landing place at a con- q venient point. and the construction ofl Y a wharf on the same, would supply what ‘may be described as a long felt want. ‘The landing place hitherto used has been nothing short of a danger, perhaps a disgrace, whilst the distance to be travelled to reach it has destroyed a large share of the pleasure to be derived from excursions down the 1 river during the summer months. It i is needless to say that this is a matter which comes lzome to the entire com- munity, and it is to be sincerely hoped C c rl c i s c l 1 s i that any possible rivalry as to site, or, what is more likely to stanu in the way, delay on the part of the council will , not prevent the question being settled in favor ot‘a new wharf and landing at ' once. The suggestion is a good one, that a $1000 or so of the Queen’s square property fund be devoted to the purpose. This fund wit/z z‘lze earnings, according to law must be invested for the public benefit, andfas it is a large ‘ one now, the investment of the small portion required in the property in- dicated would be approved of by the ratepayers. The Government has done its part in deepening the channel, and it becomes the town to act now in its own interests. which Unrestricted Re- THE WATCHMAN. l l THE London (Eng) Times had an important article upon the political situation of Canada, as indicated by the . relative strength and policies of the‘ two parties at present in the House.

The Empire :â€"The opening of a fast} direct route between Canada and Asia,‘ besides drawing an enormous trade in transit to Europe, will also enable us to do direct trading for ourSelves. The Cana- dian J mmml of Fabrics records the inter- esting fact of the establishment in Canada of agenmes for a China and Japan company dealing in silks, furs, tea, coffee and other Asiatic produce. Hitherto this trade has been done through London. but hence’ forth it will be done more and more by direct importations. Instead of coming from the east, goods we have termed “Uri- ental ” will come to Canada round the world from the west, the shorter way. The Toronto Email :â€"The anxiety which the French papers of Quebec are display- ing concerning the steady stream of emi- gration from that province to the United States arises in part, no doubt, from a natural feeling of regret at the loss of population. But the possible political con- sequences are not lost sight of. The representation of the provinces in the House of Commons is determined by the population of the neighboring province! The number of Quebec’s members is fixed at sixty-five, and this number divided into that of the population determines the unit ‘ of representation for the rest of the Do- lminion. The smaller the population of Quebec the smaller the unit of representa- Ition, and the greater, therefore, the number of representatives of the other provinces, while that of the Quebec mem- bers remains fixcad. For this reason the emigration movement has an important 1 political significance. LOSDDN. May 16.â€"The transatlantic cattle trade committee toâ€"duy completed their report. The: ’r-eport‘ approves the United States regulations for the inspect- ion and shipment of cattle. It says ocean steamships. which are only occasionally chartered for the ocean cattle trade, have in some instances an unsatisfactory class of otticers who are, generally speaking, without experience in this particular trade. The fittingr and ventilation of such ships are also frequently unidapted to the uses to which they are put. The foreman en- ga ged for the vovage are usually experienc- ed and skilful, but the men employed un- der these. foremen to feed, water and otherwise attend to the cattle while travell- ing across the Atlantic are generally un- ; skilled and in many instances totally un- iable physically to endure the hardships of a rough voyage. The report says the ldiflicult and dangerous duty of of attend- ‘ing to cattle in shipment to Europe is badly paid, and the cattlemen are fre- quently compelled to work .ch'r/iothing. As a result the cattle are often left with. out food or water for considerable periods. The accommodations provided for the cattle are inferior, and in numerous instances it is shown that the cattle on shipboard have been treated with great cruelty. One witness testified that he had seen men spitting tobbacco juice into the eyes of cattle, and that he had also seen men pouring water into the ears and nostrils of cattle to make them rise tol their feet. The committee is inclined to Aâ€"o-Aâ€"Fflbâ€" : believe that cruelty to. cattle is rarely practised, except by the inferior class of cattlemen known as “stifl's.” The report recommends‘ that where ample ventilat- ' ion for cattle is impossible such vessels should be considered unfit for the trans- Atlantic cattle trade. The employment of “stifl’s.” the committee says, should be stopped, and the foreman and his assist- ants should be required to sign the ship’s articles, and the men should be thus placed under the authority of the captain of the vessel. The forestry commissioners at New York are fighting against the building of any railway through the Adirondack forest preserves. They have applied for an in- junction to stop the building of the Ad- irondack and St. Lawrence railroad. At the office of the Northern Pacific Railway Company in New York on Satur- day, it was stated there was no truth whatever in the report that the Northern Pacific Company has sold or is about to sell its terminal lines of railway in Manitoba to the C.

LINDSAY, THURSDAY MAY 2:, .2891 Premier Mercier has forwarded to L’Elcvtcur for publication ail the docu- ments in connection with his new count'.l ship. Its othcial title is “Count; of the Apostolic Palace and of the Court: of Latmn.” The insignia of office consists in a. golden cross, golden chain,_ and a. mantle ornamented with a cross. Before wearing these emblems the titular has to take an oath of fidelity to the Pope, and nuke the declarations of faith required by the apostolic constitutions. The new title entitles its bearer to all the privileges of the nobility and he must select a Coat of arms which is placed on all the objects be- longing to the Count, as well as on his visiting cards. The Premier will have to select a coat of arms. The news of his creation as a count was announced to the Premier by the Pope himself at the private audience, thuugh the brief is dated March 24, the day on which he landed in France. The documents consist of letters from Cardinals .l‘ujnlfini and Lednchowski, in which it is stated that the title is given T0 REWARD MR. MERCIER for having settled the Jesuits Estates and University questions, and of “ having pro- tected the rights of the religious societies, and for the other Christian qualities which he possesses.” The title is made hereditary in his family, and descends to his children in the male line. The Premier, in acknowâ€" ledging the honor in a. letter to Cardinal J acobini, secretary of the Propaganda. says : “ You cannot imagine how Confused I am on the receipt of your letter of yes- terday, transmitting me ‘he brief, which creates me Count. with right of succession in my family. I would certainly refuse this honor, of which I am unworthy, if the Holy Father. in his extreme kindness, had not imposed it upon me by a formal order to which I must submit. I pray God to render me and my children and other (18 cendants worthy of this honor, which f .Llls not only on my family, but more especially on my beloved country Canada.” \VIXNIPEH, Man, May 17.â€"-The follow- ing particulars have been learned concern- ing the destruction of the mails by fire in the accident at Straight Lake to the Cana dian Pacific railway passenger trainzâ€"The postal car was behind the tender, both, of which followed by the baggage car, were precipitated through the tressle which had been burnt. Both the mail clerks on duty happened fortunately to be at the time taking supper in the dinning-car else they would doubtless have been killed. One of these clerks reports that all ordinary ietters,lexcepting Some fifty, were destroy- ed, as also was a large registered bag, ; made up by Montreal P.O., labelled “Port Arthur and Winnipeg Mail Clerk.” This bag contained registered mails from all points west of Port Arthur, all of which were consumed by the fire which burned the wrecked post-office and baggage cars. A registered box for the postmaster at Victoria and two registered parcels from To- ronto for Nipigon were lost. It may thus too, be assumed that any registered letters for Port Arthur itself shared the same fate. For places west of Port Arthur contained in the bag from Montreal there were twenty registered letters: between Ottawa and Port Arthur there were eleven, most of which were probably delivered before the accident occurred- ' with no more common or dangerous malady than Catarrh. ' It begins with a cold in the head, often resists all forms of treatment, and runs from simple irritation of the mucous membrane to chronic inflammation and destructive ulceration. Before Clark’s Catarrh Cure Was known the doctors adopt~ ecl along course of constitutional treatment with their patients, but now they recom- mend them to go to the druggist and get a package of Clark’s Catarrh Cure. When ‘ the druggist cannot supply, the remedy will be sent by mail on receipt of 50 vents.
