They were received with open arms by the ge sctutin- eers and introduced to ¢ r ‘atrar. The Conservative worulio? ar once insisted that the Italians should -be eworn singly, which was done, Rosso interpreting. As soon as each regis- tered be was handed sa subpoena to “ho the Appeal Court, and notice was given td the registrar on the ground that they were not British subjects, and did not fultil the residence qualificatioa. ,- ¢ The Liberals claimed these men Aad been naturalised at Peterboro and Kon- don. The Ci oservatives had present at the Appeal Court ou Saturday Mr. Essery, barrister, of London, who gave evidence that none of the men had been naturalized in Londou, and other evi- dence was prodaced of the same kind from Peterboro, but the Appeal Court would not accept the evidence and the court was adjourned until Monday evening.

The popular sentiment in all progressive countries is moving towards Government ownership of railways, yetno matter how progressive other sounisien may be, Canada will = tied down t p fifty years it the Liberals are a ions, and even at the end of that time, while the Government may gain control of the main line between Moncton and Winnipeg, all the profitable branch liues and all tbe terminal facilities on the Eastern section will belong to the Grand Trunk. Railway Company, and the whole of the Western section from Winnipeg to the Pacitic coast will be ones by that corporation.
