These are the dreary, dreary days when we can sympathize With the poet Bryant, when he said : “The melancholy days are come, The saddest of the year, Of wailing winds and naked woods, And meadows bcown and sore. Heaped in the hollows of the grove, The Autumn leaves lie dead ; ' They rustle to the eddying gust, And to the rabbit's tread." But though now everything seems dead, yet we know that in the. full- ness of time the earth will again be clothed in its living verdure.

It is understood he is to be solicitor for the Grand Trunk Pacific Construc- tion Company, and to have an interâ€" est therein. But the greatest, sur- prise to Canadians will be when the “railway-owned Laurier government” is obliged to announce to the world that the Grand Trunk Pacific and capitalists behind them will not conâ€" struct the part east. of the North Bay line but will adhere to their former plan and come via North Bay. There is this further change. The policy of the Conservative party re the purchase of the Canada Atlantic railway is to be stolen ; the govern- ment will buy that line and hand it. over to the Grand Trunk Pacific. Thus the traffic will deflect to Port- land via Scotia Junction. llut llrit- ish capital is very shy of the whole project. BURDEN IS POPULAR “I found Mr. R. L. Bordon Very popular everywhere,” said Col. Hughes. “In his own province, some of the journals opposing him, as in their custom everywhere, seek to be- little him, say nasty things and make themselves ofl‘ensive generally ; but such conduct only strengthens that worthy leader. His forcible, aggressive, yet gentlemanly addres- ses during the recent session of Parâ€" liament have placed him for in ad- vance of any other debater on the Government or Opposition benches. This faci is universally admitted by friend opponent. “In the coming elections the great mass of clean thinking, hon-3st. inde- pendent Liberals are evm‘ywherc join- ing hands with the Conservatives.
