The entire village was 33in and tastefully men. 0f the 5,000 electors who had assembled to do him honor, fully one- third were reformers; and the address of welcome which the Reform Associa- tion of North Ontario had prepared, and which in his absence was forwarded to him, was one of the most pleasing and creditable features of the occasion, and the best possible evidence of the kindly feelings With which the Old Man is held by the party towhich he hasboenSo long opposed. The Beaverton Picnic. The Liberal-Conservative picnic at Beavertou last Thursday was, with one exception, a much greater success than the most sanguine expectations of its promoters could have looked for. The absence of Sir John A. Mucdonald was that one exception. Important mat- ters of state at the last moment pre- vented his being present to meet the immense concourse who had gathered from far and near largely in his honor. The load expressions of regret and disappointment heard upon all sides at his absence was a. strong proof of the hold the \ eteran statesman and premier has upon the affection of his country- “ We have with Canada a difference of long standing. involving no clear-question of ahsulute right and wrong. touching fin- ancial interests which are sniall ‘at the best. in no way a flagrant or imperative issue. and in every respect a subject for [metal and friendly adjustment. Such an adjustment had been attempted in a treaty which was necessarily acompromise, and which to disinterested on-lmkcrs seemed reasonable. The treaty, warmly resommended by the President under whose authority it had been concluded, was rejected by the Republiam Senate in a bitterly partisan temper. and with an accompaniment of preposterous blaster to the effect that this was not a case for negotiation. And now suddenly the Pre- aident proposes to strike a tremendous blow at Canadian commerce by refusing transit free of duty to their bonded European goods.

Nor have the people of Canada been averse to modify that treaty in accordance with the spirit of the present age. The true case of re- taliation was this: That the Americans wished to modify a solemn treaty and get {or the use of their fisherman privileges in our waters which they renounced in 1818, and for renounelng which they gain- ed a thousand miles of our sea-coast.

The ' "‘ "‘“A-«mnnAnt‘ and as Would reteliute upon the enemy and uvu upon the people of the United States. The 4 President. in his message recommended, and the first section of the bill provided for, the . stoppage of the shipment of freight in bond. This would not hurt a heir of the head of a single Canadian fishermen who had been ‘ guilty of wrong, but would hurt the Cane: «liens of the western provinces, who had committed no wrong. And while the west- ern provinces must pay more for the trans- fer of their freight, American workmen would lose $3,250,W a. year if this provi- 1 sion of the bill was enforced. This would be retaliation with a. vengeance. Mr. Linn (Rep, Minn.) said that if the bill became a. law, the President, with a single stroke of the pen, could cripple or ‘ ruin enterprising men in the Northwest, rob ‘ Duluth and Minneapolis of half their ship- ping, and enhance the exactions Of North- western railroads twenty-five. ‘ cent: It was not on account of selfish ‘ nexthat he opposed the bill, but because) 1 was con- ceived for improper purposes, was uncalled for, wrong in theory and an unworthy exponent of the power, dignity and honor of the American people. Retaliation, as sanctioned by the law of nations, should not exceed reasonable satisfaction; the punishment should lit the crime. For the grievance of which Americuniishermen com- plained, the fishermen themselves had sug- gested a. proper remedy in forbidding the . importation of Canadian fish ; but the Presi- , dent had declined to apply that remedy.

To that gentleman and to him alone was due the credit of lifting the discuSSion to a high 1eVe1 in the plane of parliamentary procedure. But he regretted that while the speech was eloquent it lacked the element of candor and fairness which would have made it one of the greatest pro- ductions Of this session.

The Standard declares that Englan has a right to expect that the Canadians will be careful not to involve us needlessly in diffi- culties with foreign powers if it is possible to avoid them by conciliation and legitimate concession. In return Canada. is certain to receive the full encouragement and support of Great Britain in resistance to unlawful aggression. ‘he St. James Gazette admits that Can- ada’s position is perfectly fair and unassail- able, but reminds Canada that it is some- times impolitic and ’even impossible to take a; , --__‘v -\ the full ardvantagc of a. strong position Slr Charles rapper's Speech Altrncls a Good in!!! of Nollcg.

The sneer they leveled at the President was but a. thin dis- guise for the respect they felt for him. [Democratic applause] Gentlemen on the other side would say that the President had FG‘tchCll his present degree of success mostly by luck, but they would not assert for an instant that it was encompassed by dishonor, and Republican Senators would declare that never during his incumbenco had they been sble to invade his privileges and preroga- tives. [Democratic applause] Gentlemen on the other side might say that President Cleveland was not ugreet man. No one would dare deny that he was an honest man, and he was a great man in the eyes of the country, not ecause ho was a. pos- sessorof qualities which lifted him above all others, but because he was 0. noble type of the American citizen of the land. The Republicans had their uncrowned king; they had their shepherd of tho :eople (he had so many titles that the min was con- fused and paralysed in the contemplation of his greatness); but before the American people and at the ballot box he had been vanquished by the simple ty 0 of American citizen Grover Cleveland.

The denominations of the new bills are 5’s, 10’s, 20‘s and 100’s.

The faces are also distinguished for the beauty of the engraving and the intricacy of the design. It would be time misspent for the counterfeiter to attempt a re-engraving. The danger of photography is also turned aside. The yellow tint photographs an inky black and is so indeli- nitely blended at the borders with the other colors that it is absolutely impossible to photograph.
