As silly a story as has graced the‘bu columns of the opposition press in a ) nO long, long time, is that t â€"r which the| M« Oitawa Citizen finds space on its front | Al, page yesterday, with reference to the‘rs first experience of the working of the! m« new Franchise Act, in the taking of l | the Plebiscite, After stating that the|; names of thousands f qualified voters !m were omitted from the lists, the 3 article declares that this is the first 8; black cye for the new Franchise Act, lth' which is shown to be even a g‘t‘eater!t 4 absurdity than was pointed out during a;x the debate on the bill, and that it is \ thoroughly unworkable, &c. Buat Al while this much is amusing, the article * drops into a screaming farce at its conâ€" 4 clusion when it declares, ‘that the C \Government is seriously contemplating 4 repealing the set of last Session altoâ€" E gether, and enactingy the old Franchise t Act with some amendments." _ It is| g abundantly evident that the Citizen‘s| funny man does not confine his atten tions to the editorial columns, it is so 8 highly probable that the Government y will revive an act which its own creators had long discredited and which was animadverted upon with more thorough unanimity throughout te the country than probsbly any picce % ot legislation since Confederation. C An Imaginative Lady. T: Considerable of a sensation was| a caused some days ago by the appearâ€" | is ance of the first of Miss Shaw‘s letters| T on the Yukon in the London (Eng)|s Times, and when that venerable | F journal, pinning its {faith upon the| is statements of its representative, deâ€"| u clarea that there was apparently some | k need of inyestigation, the Opposition | e organs and antiâ€"Canadian section of|t the press shouted for joy. The shoutâ€" ) t ing continued in a very minor key|r however, when it was discovered that | r the Government had only been waitâ€"| 1 ing until the necessary preparations | 1 | could be made. and some plausible exâ€" | g cuse found for ordering an investigaâ€"| c tion, and that same shouting is dying | 1 _| away altogether under r more critical | ; | reading of Miss Shaw‘s letiers. That | j | versatile and imaginative lady found _| that in the mining ‘ields and in the streets of Dawson there is a widely prevailing convietion, not only that |â€" the laws are bad, but that the gfflcers , through which they are administered , | are corrupt. There is no disguising | :fi the universal dissatisfaction, it is imâ€"<| ‘ | possible to talk tor five minutes on | â€" | business with anyone on the mines or 4 | in the streets without some allusion occuring to the subject &c. s | The Weight of Testimony Against Her. No one questions that Miss Sha w had » | opportunity . for conversation on the streets of Dawson, but as to her perâ€" sonal experienceof the mines, of the _| cunditions and workings of which she n speakssocomprehcnsiVely, the simple fact is that she only visited one, and the balanes of her information is the merest hearsay. Most évidently her impressions conveyed in the above d. quotation haye been gathered in the "> |same way, for against them arc the _ | statements of Administrator Cgilvie, ~_| Major Walsh, Exâ€"Gold Commissioner Faweett, Mr. White (Reuter‘s corres pondent) Messrs. Joseph Barrett and Philp, Col. Domville and scores of others, all of whom declare that they or heard no complaints except perhaps against the royalty, and that it was impossible to find anyoné prepared to make a charge against any official even when urged to do so. Wohile it is CUR OTTAWA LETTER. aimost sacrilegous for Britishers to question the conclusions of the Thundâ€" erer, it must be remembered that even it has been victimized and badly vicâ€" timized in the past. No one doubts its good intentions, still it is at least the part of wisdom not to accept absoluteâ€" ly. and without qualification, the storiesfof a correspondent who started in upon her investigation after enjoyâ€" ing theJ hospitality and preliminary |coaching wof Sir Charles Tupper at O:ta wa, and Sir Charles Hibbert Tupâ€" per at the coast. Not Through Fooling Yet. As if the Local Opposition had not had enough of fooling with alleged technicalities, some sapient member of the party signing himself ‘Lex‘ has\ been trying to make it still more ridicâ€" ulous by raising & quibble upon the\ wording of the Act goyerning the by elections. _ WDile the House is inl session it seems, the law forbids the trial of any election petition or the holding of a by election. _ Technically the House is now in session though adâ€" journed, for all practical purposes it has been prorogued till next year. To remove all doubt in the keen legal Clau4s minds of the opposition, the minds iwinds of ¢ t Atal in ? ‘Constables Act‘ specially provided ; that the election trials should proceed, ‘ but the matter of byâ€"elections was not noticed, the brilliant legal intellects of | Messrs. Whitney, Carscallen, Foy, et | al, failed to note the tschnicality, just 1:'3 did the supporters of the Governâ€" | ment. Tpere is no more question as to the intention of the Act than there was in the case of the Constables‘ vote, but as the Mailâ€"Empire gleefully declares there was one more chance. slight though it be, ‘to get Hardy into a hole‘ and public convenienase or the dictates of common sense carry no weight, Alas the reviving spirits soon dropped again for without wasting time to disâ€" cuss the matter, the Government adâ€" vised the Lieutenant Governor to proâ€" rogne the House, and the House is proâ€" rogued accordingly, the net effect being that the South QOntario election will be delayed a few days. _ Truly Her Majesty‘s Loyal Opposition in the Untario Local Legislation is to bs conâ€" gratulated on its broad and compreâ€" hensive appreciation of public policy. All Well On The Crow‘s Nest. ‘ The general satisfaction which is felt throughout the country at the rapidly approaching completion of the Crow‘s Nest Pass Railway will be conâ€" siderably augmented by the knowâ€" ledge that the condition of the thousâ€" ands of working men engaged thereon is all that can be reasonably desired. Until the official report of the Commisâ€" sion appointed after the last session of Parliament has been made public, it is premature to express an opinion upon the charges which led thereto, but the recent testimony of independâ€" ent investigators agrees in declaring |that every proper attention is now |being paid to the wellâ€"being of the men. There can be no doubt that much of the alleged trouble was the resuit of a large influx of laborers who were physically unequal to the hard:â€" ships and privations of pioneer railway construction, but the prompt and ready manner in which the Government took action has without doubt greatly imâ€" proved the situation ‘‘The Day‘s Work." The latest volume from the pen of Rudyard Kipling, acollection of short Lstorieo under the title of "The Day‘s Work," has just been issued trom the press. It is not only of the interest which all writings of this popular author have been, but is much more so from the fact that this edition bas been produced from the Canadian press â€" under Canadian copyâ€"tight.. The admirers of Kipling will find much to their liking in the eight or ten short stories which the volume conâ€" tains, and the makeâ€"up of the book, letterâ€"press, illustrations, paper and binding, is of the class that reflec.s credit upon our home manufacturers. ‘The edition is published by George Morang of Toronto. e s W n es YReader, you need help.

The demand came in much stronger than expected, however, in the afternoon, the prices held within & mere shade of the level of earlier sales this weok. There were 8 loads of stuff on the two markets, including about 1,500 sheep and lambs and 2.300 hogs. \Nearly eyerything was cleared off the market when it closed. Export Cattleâ€"The demand for this line of cattle was very slow on account of the poor quality. A few good export cattle brought from $4 to $4.40 per ecwt. but there were comparatively few good enough at hand to land above $4.50 per ewt. Butchers‘ Cattleâ€"Only a few strictly choice heavy catile brought $3.75 to $14. The butchers were out in full force, and bought up nearly everything. â€" Butchâ€" ers‘ common cattle were in fair demand at $3.50 to $3.60 and $3,70 for selections. Bullsâ€"The general market for fat bulls of all weights was easily at the highest leyel for this time of the season, The offerings were a little heavy and the demand fair. _ The quotations reâ€" mained about the same, with the exâ€" ception of a little advance in the heavy bulls, Heavyy bulis are quoted at $3.25 to $3.75 per cwt. Light bulls fetched $2.75 to $3 per ecwt. Stockersâ€"Stockers for Buffalo were slow, but in fair demand. â€" The prices‘ remained about the same as Tuesday‘s market,. â€" Feeders were firm at $3.40 uo $3.75 per ecwt. Milch Cows and Springersâ€"Fat . cows were in good demand, but are very scaree, there only being a few good ones on the market, ~They were quoted at from $20 to $40 each and $45 for choice ones. Sheep and Lambsâ€"About the same number of sheep were at hand as at the last market and trade bad the same irregular movement. Most sheep, and p:u-ticularly the bheavy weights, went ‘reudily at steady prices. while some \ course lots were slow sale. Sheep for DURHAM MARKET. Live Stock Markets.
