bg MA i4 â€"The tory press are ‘bringing the .elections on ngnt Nov. 2rd. Hardy had better get ready. â€"The British Parliament has been proroguea for a a time, and both parties are reported to be dissatisfied, and it is certain neither at present would like to face an election. ‘The opposition has been quiet and forced no fighting, but whether this springs from _jJealousy among the leaders or as a matter of pelicy to let the tories have a free hand at making all the mistakes â€"Mayor Fleming, of Toronto, has been appointed Assessment commisâ€" sioner at a salary of €4,000, and Alderâ€" man Shaw has, by the vote of the 'al)::"wfl been placed in the Mayor‘s echair. â€"The Premier of Spain was shot dead on Sunday by an assassin named Golli He ,eon’eeoes to being a memâ€" ber of in Anarchist Association. All Europe is indignant and it is certain a .crusade against anarchists and even .socialists will be begun. â€"The sush to the Yukon gold fields .continues ; even from the north. Whale tishers on the Arctic Ocean have left their boats for the gold, and from the south and east maultitudes have left .their business to try their luck in the Arctic. We notice the Ontario mutual Insurance Society has retused to take risk on men going there this fall. The yovernment continues to plan for the proper administration of law and jusâ€" tice in the district and extra squads of the mounted police areâ€"being sent in. British Cotumbia .merchbants are makâ€" ing a good thi:g out of it, as provisions, to get enter duty free, must be bought in Canada, and Americans are spending thousands there that would otherwise be spent in Seattle or San Francisco. We have a wide awake government. â€"The Law Officers of Gt. Britain have decided that Germany and Bel guim have a right to our preferential ‘tarif till the denunciation of the treaties goes into effect next year. "This is tiaking an honorable view ot matter and a refund of the excess of .duties will have to be made. It does not amount to a great deal, ing a very fraternal visit to the Em ;peror of Russia, They both proclaim themselves chamJ)iom ot reaee. and Emperor Wm. adds his willingness to thrash any nation that makes any tuss A warm welcome has been exâ€" tended and Francee will wonder now where she is at, in the affections ol ;the Bear. possible, is not quite certain. Ottawa, August 9th,â€"Liberal Triâ€" amph. One toreseen result of the reâ€" went liberal trinmph, in respect to the denunciation of the German and Belâ€" gian treaties by Great Britain, is the too plainly expressed chagrin of the tory press and people. Ot course it was n t to be expected that these proâ€" tection mad adhberents of a sadly disâ€" comfited party would sing the praises of Sir Wilfrid and his party‘s policy, yet many of note have gone a great way towards doing so. ‘This great stride towards free trade within the Empire doee not bring the slightest modicum of balm to the torn heart of the party of discontent for it is only another nail in its coftin and a fresh reminder that its fond visions of a speedy return to power are only as the deceptive mirage of the desert. ure all treaties with foreign nations affecting Canada will only be entered jnto with C#pagda‘s approval. The deâ€" punciation of the Belgian and German Liberrl triamph. _ It has the honesty and patnotisim to say that it is the greatest achievement of Sir Wiltrid‘s eareer and that it is the first time a British Colony has successsully assertâ€" ed its right to a voiee in a matter of great imperial concern ; that tew Canâ€" adians of either po itical stripe will feel disposed to be little Sir Wiltrid‘s vieâ€" tory. And yet there are other leading tory organs which cannot see statesâ€" men beyond the pale of their own party lines, but which attributes this wonderâ€" ful move on the part ot Great Britain as a natural consequence of a long gourse of agitation by tory statesâ€" men. A conservative is nothing unless he is coolly assumptive, for the pride of jJong rule has implanted in the tory breast a peculiar cenceit which will sake many stern rebuffs to remind him that the world can really move withâ€" put him. The Imperial Goyernment in denouncing these treaties is at once golony to frame its own fiscal policy, It is a practical recognition ot the legisâ€" intive independence of Canada. We gould not be a much freer nation than we now stand, and there can be no reasonuble doubt but that for the ftuâ€" greaties is a clear declaration of the utmost liberty for our country by Great ‘The Montreal Star, however, alâ€" though hostile in the extreme to the Premier and his Cabinet could not well maintain its staneing as a gre..t Canaâ€" dian journalâ€"an honest teacher and leader among the peopleâ€"were it to join the lesser lights cf the tory party a beating the bush for ray«ns otf disconâ€" tent and disapprobation, at this great iifl&in harmony with colonial ideas o% selfgovernment and the right of a Editorial Kste and Comment. â€"The Emperor of Germany is OUR OTTAWA LETTER. .
