While the reduction in the Imperial rate is larger, being 60 per cent. of the former rate, owing to the volume of business done, the saving to the people from this reduction in the domestic rete is by far the greatest. While the whole of the inch of 143,- 000,000, or 120 per cent., in the number of letters carried through the Canadian postoiiice in eight years may not all be attributable to the reduction in rates, there can be no doubt that it has ma- terially stimulated the use of the mails for all purposes.

Some ingenious gentleman down in Quebec has started. a prefix good one too soon. The Quebec Chronicle reported Senator Choquette as saying to an an ience at L'Ange Gardien on Sunday :- " Are our religious interests not more “lured in the hends of one of our own, like Sir Wilfrid Laurier. than in the hands of an English Protestant like Mr. Borden , " I despise rece prejudices, but blood is thicker then water. Let us support our own blood in preference to that of Mr. Borden , The Mail and Empire added to the story this cherecteristic touch F-. “Senator Choquette wee formerly e-momber of Parliament. On the occasion of the victory of 1896 this gentlemen was appointed to the Bench. He has been e Judge for eight ears or thereabouta. A few days ego Sir Wilfrid Laurier invited him to descend from the a',',',',,",, and to take char e of the Government campaign in Quebec. He accepted and was appointed a Senator, wig: the promise of e portfolio. He received from Sir Wilfrid the lines upon which he was to tight, and appeared at Chateau Richer with the message for the people. The messege is conteined in the leaguege just cited from his speech.” The Globe yesterday wired Senator Choquette as to the truth of the statements. He answered as follows t-- " I have sent the following letter to The Chronicle t ' To the Editor Morning Chronicle t Bir,9eluving that your good faith has been imposed upon.
