Canadian distrust' of English policy crops
out in every debate in the Dominion PaTlia-
ment. Sir John A. Macdonald, one of the
High Commissioners and the Premier of Cam
ada, while deprecating the display of nervous
ness on the part of Opposition speakers, be-
trayed his own anxiety. He doubts while de-
Tending English policy in appointing the High
Commission to settle the Fishery question and
prepares the Canadians for concessions by talk
ing of compensations for yielded rights

The continual trouble is for people to find houses
fit to live in or in which they are fit to live. Some
body wrote to The Waterbury Comm american that
he had been hunting for house for ten years and
could not find one to suit him." WhereupOn A
Builder" responded in the same newspaper " that he
wOud engage a lot for him, and build house to
suit him, and have it ready for occupation within
six months But he puts in a cayeat against
large bedrooms except for state occasions" he
thinks that bedrooms should be Just big enough
for ono bed four chairs one Nottingham, one bu-
reau one wash-stand and one dressing table, with
good clothes-closet, and two windows that should
slide up and down." If you make them bigger, ne
adds, "the first thing You know will be that you or
your wife will slip in another bedsead for accommO-
dation" The folly of building seems to be without
limit for nobody wanting to hire house ever found
one which not either too large or too small We
are getting over the trouble somewhat in New-lork,
and fiat can now be hired here very much as il is
to he had in Edinburgh. But, of course in small
places like Waterbury, Conn., the case is different
