ID EBATE On THE FRAMING
PRIYLEEE ELL.

The debate on Sir. Packer ill II re
1atioL the ranking of documents, which
ofieTed rather tal-eiy yesterday, took :;
lively turn to-day and caused more ez-
element thaa anything that has occU.c-
Ell this session SINCE tie salary repeal
biz was disposed Of. Mr.. kasson, who
represents II Granger constituency, and
Is anxious to be recognized as Il Granger
leader, took the floor for q dead set
against the pending bill or any 9th T
tESt III any shape proposes to restore ii e
frankirg I..iviieSe. He Is an able taltler
and was consequently listened to with
great attention by lnaIlce on all sides.
The House was filed With Guestioners.
WHO propourded many questions which
he found difficult to answer. He GiS-
claimed a:.r purpose Of specially repre-
scltIUg or defending the Postmaster
General or Pos:otlice Department. but
asserted strongly that the repeal Ct the
ranking privilege had resulted in q great
saving 10 the Government, Bat IN spite
OF this assertion he coUld not explain
how ii happened that there were greater
deficiencies than heretofore, and why Ii
was that III. GTesswell's estimates for
tie next fiscal year were much greater
than ;hoSe he had recommended for the
c1rrent wear.
Beck, who is always ready with facts
s::d l:gGEcs, worried kasson a good deal
iv lis pertinent questions. He stated
that he mad no confidence in tie Post
raster General. aud that he was the only
high Government official who did 70.
. mmand his confidence. Becks CUES
tons, however, led 70 very exciting and
dJso-deriy seeae between himself ard his
colleague, Mr.. Grassland The latter is
a member OF the Committee Oh Post
ot1ces AID Post-roCGs, ard IS an earnest
opponent Of restoration of the Thanking
privilege il any form. and therefore oD-
poses the pending bill. 4 few weeks
ago he argued as kassCn did today that

lican valley, feel that W. too have some
thing Of which to boast.
Our bottom lands and rolling prairie,
are not inferior to the best ia the Sta;e.
VIZ are yet young in our experience. but
enough has already been verified to
show that for the farmer who attends to
his little domain, as a Thrifty laboring
citizen should. there is an abundant har-
vest in store. The lau1-hoider i, the

there Is yet room for more. Red cloud

A nucleus Is already formed which can

awake to every interest which tends to
add to our prosperity, always watching

tion did not rule, attempt to come to definite con-
clusons but only to throw light matters OF dis
cussion. However, he thought the Belfast case one
suitable for mediation, which he described as arbi-
tration without the power of enforcing its award,
and this he considered might the feelings Of the
masters. Mr.. Ewarts behavior in these circum-
stances was most creditable to him. He entirely
agreed to the proposal for mediation backed by the
moral force and support to which Sir George camp
bell had referred, and he pledged himself to bring
the question next day before the association OF en-
ployers.
After this there could be no real difficulty. The
council of the Flax Spinners Association was called
together the following morning, Wednesday, and it
was plain that no mere question of form would IN
terfere with a settlement, the moment desire to
settle became general among the masters. 1he
mediation idea dropped out of view, OF rather the
work of mediation had already been done. They
invited deputaton from the workmen to be pres
ent, and a basis of agreement was soon reached
There evidence, says the report In Inc NortheTh
Wing, of generous spirit on both Sides ana an
anxiety to settle the dispute without the interven-
tion of third parties. The amount of the proposed
reduction in wages was, so far as 1T touched the
men and boys, divided, and instead of two shllings
a week was fixed at shilling for men, and three
pence instead of sxpence for boys. The women
Jared worst They don't seem to have been repre-
sented in the deputation; their interests at any
rate were less insisted on and 1t looks, am sorry
to say, as if the men had sacrificed them. They re-
sumo work at the full proposed reduction Of six
pence per week. There may be some reason for tins
not stated, but the effect is that the compromise is
made at their expense.
And so tue long struggle is over. and Belfast is
once more hard at work The mills are all throneed
this morning their fires alght the machinery whir-
ring and from the chimneys Mr.. Ruskin's obelGks

smoke are once more rising. The working classes
go back to their tasks 100000 poorer than when

tions of employed and employer. Let us nope their
