But he over did it. He began by referring to Sir Wilfrid Lattriisr's sneering remarks regarding his fa. ther, and for three mortal hours he labored to prove that no matter what Sir Wilfrit Laurier might think or say about it, there has never been a greater man than Sir Charles Tapper, in Canada not even excepting Sir John McDonald, and that no other man had ever done so much tor the country. Everybody had heard this so often before" that it soon grew monotonous, and the result was that by the time he reached the Yukon " fair his audience had lost all interest in either him or his charges.

W: should say there is, bat the scandal lies " the doors ot'the Senate, who, from a parti- zan feeling, threw out a measure, conceived in the best interests of that new country. iilit iiurhmu bstittt, We admire American enterprise and push, but Canadians of both parties should blush at the thought. that a similar enterrrising spirit on the part of the Libera government last year, was banlked by our precious Senate. Had the Yukon Railway as proposed by the gow-rnment gone on, this would never have been built. British Columbia cities would have gained an immense trade now going to Seattle and other American cities. and Can, adians generally would not have been humiliated to enter their own country by an alien railroad.

"Aboot daybreak." said the Scot, with mach satisfaction, as if on the whole, he were content to die. and much pleased it would be at the rising of the sun. He was a characteristic type of his nation, ru ged in face and dry of manner, an 28,",'fln'. who had drifted somehow to this English city and was living there alone, and now he was about. to die alone, without friends, and in a stiunge land.
