THE CABINET IN A MIDDLE
The death OF Sir T. = Tache, the Premier, has thrown
tho Cabinet into middle. There is an understanding
that the Premier shall come alternately from the Upper
and Lower province, Sir e. P Tache was Of course,
Lower Canadian, and the position made by his
death belongs OF right to Mr. George Brown editor Of
the Toronto Globe and at present the President of the
Council Brown is personally very Objectionable to the
French Canadians in the Cabinet and out of Il, and
especially Cartier, 10 whom he affixed the title Of
Goldfish Cartier" which he still bears The coalition
brought them together but there have suspicious
and jeaousies among them all tho time, and it Ia
thought that il Brown insists upon his right the
strongest Upper Canadian, to be called in Premier
Cartier will resign and the coalition break up The hope
of the spos attendant upon the proposed confederation
and measures dependent upon 1t can alone hold the
Cabinet together The Lower Canadians urging that
under the Coalition il it is sincerenion OF the former
opposing elements it can make no difference from which
section tho Premier may DO taken, and they urge the
selection of Cartier Then comes the question, will Geo
Brown under Goldfish Cartier, and the Lower Cana
dian politicians do not hesitate to openly that he
will serve under Goldfish Cartier, or under power that
shall be namcless long as he can be allowed TO retain
Office and share in its benefits, which just now promise
TO be unusually great. As compromise, however, the
Lower Canadians propose that Brown shall agree TO the
promotion OF John A. Macdonald, an Upper Canadian,
but fast friend and close political ally OF Cartier TO the
premiership over his head Thus matters stand, and
Few days must bring the muddle to elimination The
place in the Cabinet will probably be filled by N.
Cauchon, member for Montmorency, Frenchman who
never goes church. but wieds influence with the
priesthood than any other man.
SLOW TRADE AND QUICK TRAVEL.

And the story Ia the same from week to week. what

rush Of travel The st. Lawrence Hall is crowded and
through that house flows unbroken stream OF pleasure
