Is apprehended. Every possible vehi-

The cost OF transportation Of men and

francs. OF which only one-third has as
yet been paid to the company. The
carts and wagons used for the commits

still more. The number of teams en-
ployed, at fixed daily hire of Is francs
each, Is $4,000, Of which $4,000 have been
brought from Russia and 1000 requisi-

the one on whose solution rests the

courts that are the inevitable resort OF
the individual citizen. We assert now
and forever that the City Council is not
a court of arbitration as between the
people and violators Of their law, and
the past and present disposition Of such
authorities to constitute themselves
courts Of this kind is one Of the great
est curses of our time. The proportions
that this evil has assumed are Justly ap-
palling, and when we see Council
fresh from the throes of people who
have suffered as we have, called upon to
tread right along in the beaten path
which has just received the solemn con-
domination Of the ballot, we confess
that we are both alarmed and deeply
disappointed.
A week ago DR.. Brickell, as one hum
BILE man, appealed to the Council; we
now appeal to them as representing the
sentiments Of thousands Of men, and
those the men who, by the exercise Of
the highest privilege Of the American
citizen, put them into the Offices they
now hold. We tell the Council now that
the eyes of all honest men are on them.
This is but one phase of the great con-
fiict that is going on between the money
power and ndustry-between the drones
and workers in the great hive Of hui
mainly. ALI along the road that this
city has passed over are strewn the
wrecks of honest toll and honest hope
in the great struggle with monopoly
and the money power.
This paper came into existence amid
the cries and groans Of an oppressed
people. It came to fight the battle of
right as against wrong. It has helped
to the full extent of its ability to drive
from power the worst set of villains that
ever cursed people, but the work is
not yet done. The people have put
their own chosen men into place and
power for the great purpose OF sweeping
away the parasites that Radicalism had
put upon them, and they expect them
to do it. II they betray the peo-
pie and raise an arm of protection over
the head Of wrong and oppression, then
is our duty plain and Well do it. We
repeat, and we want all men to hear and
understand us, that in the conflict be-
tween industry and oppressive money
power, we are now and always on the
side Of the former.
Can we too often say to the Council
that the whole history of the inception,
and progress Of the Sugar
Shed Company Is one Of outrage on the
prime rights Of men. The company
stands out before the eyes of the people
a huge monopoly without the right of
existence, a collector Of subsidy from
the products of the toiler without the
shadow Of right to levy or collect.
There is, then, but one plain duty be-
fore the Council, and that is to lay
their official axe at the root Of the evil.

THE SUGAR SHED COMPANY.

One week ago DR.. d. w. Brickell
memorialized the City Council in regard
to the Sugar Shed Company. The
exposure he made was complete,
and the arguments advanced were, and
are, unanswerable. After that paper
one would suppose that more need not
be said; but we live in peculiar times,
and must act, speak and write &C.
cordingly, IL we would right the
wrongs of the people. Therefore, it is
that we renew this subject Of the Sugar
Shed Company on this day of regular
meeting Of the City Council.
A few points must be continually
pressed on the attention Of these serv-
ants Of the people.
/. The Sugar Shed Company was or
ganized under the general incorporation
law Of the State, which authorizes any
six or more men to organize themselves
into body corporate for the purpose of
carrying on any business not in con-
hict with the constitution and laws Of
the State, or the constitution of the
United States.
2. 1t sought and obtained land from
the city authorities which belonged to
the public. The city authorities had no
right to appropriate this land, as those
acho aHenated 1t knetU full aceH, and as
those noao appealed to k,ao,v as ,ceu.
4. But even after it obtained land and
built sheds, it would be powerless or
profitless, unless SOMEBODY could be
forced to patronize it. The same venal
council that gave it land, usurped
authority and gave it power to tax
all sugar and molasses landed on
the wharves from plantations. Our
present council cannot be ignorant Of
the great outrage thus perpetrated.
s. The company have long been ex-
ceeding even the power given by venal
Council, and extorting without stint,
until public and formal remonstrance
against them has reached thu Council. |
Investigation proves that the remon-
STRANGE is we'll founded, and it is even
discovered that they have forfeited |
their charter, il they ever. really had
one.
6. They claim to have spent some |
$240, 900 on improvements on the levee |
when the Council knows that they have
done nothing of the sort.
z. They claim to be a great conve
nience to commerce, when it is we'll |
known that they have ever been a mani
fest hindrance.
Here, then, is combination in
our midst pOssessed of the nuhIic
levee for private purposes and hold
ing its title from a Council who
never had the right to give it. Here,
then, is combination Of men regularly
taxing the products Of their fellow men
without the shadow of right to do So
their authority to tax being derived
from City Council that could not legally
confer such authority. Even the State
itself, which has conferred limited pow
ers on the city to tax, could not confer
such power on these men calling them
selves company. Besides this, this
of men are found exceed
ing even the Legitimate authority
claimed, and are delinquent in their as
sumed pecuniary obligations to the
,ity-thus FORGETTING even the charter
lnder which they claim to live and act.
Our Mayor has unreservedly acknowl-
,dged the correctness Of the premises

attempt to control elections to the House
of Commons at Ottawa and to the Legis-
| lature of the Province of Quebec A
joint letter of the eight bishops, which
claimed for the clergy the absolute direc-
ton of political elections in the Dominion
was three times approved at Rome. and
the last time by the Pope himself. There
upon, in certain counties the priests went
to work with a will, and endeavored by
the basest means to influence the votes OF
their Pensioners. As result, the cleo
ton in. Charlevoix county was contested
and finally set aside on account of the un-
due influence of the clergy. At the trial
many witnesses were examined, and the
testimony revealed the wicked course pur-
sued. One priest told the electors. that
not to listen to him on the question of vot-
ing was dsobedience to the Pope another
that if they voted for the Liberal candidate
terrible chastisement would fall upon the
country, and their harvests be destroyed.
To vote against the candidate supported
| by the priest, was to sci out on the road to
hell; and one cure declared that it was a
mortal sin. The terrors inspired in mems
minds by such cowardly tyranny are
shown by the testimony of the witnesses,
one of whom said, my religious belief,
as a Catholic is, that those who act in OPP
position to religion and their pastors, go
to hell when they die" One was afraid
| the Liberal candidate, and another that he
was engaging in the service of hell.
At the first, trial OF this case, the Judge
| decided that no undue influence had been
| exercised, but on appeal to the Supreme
| Court the decision was reversed, and the
justice, who delivered the judgment OF
the court. said that it was clear to him
that general system of intimidation had
been practised, and as a consequence I'M
| due influence exercised. As there is no
appeal from the decision of the Supreme
| Court, this judgment settles the law. But
| the Ultramontanes deny the authority OF
any civil court, and the Bishop of Ra-
| mouski, in mandement OF this year, in
| sists that the oath of Office is not binding
on the consciences of Catholic judges. and
as Justice Tachereau admitted that this
censorious mandement placed himself
and such of his colleagues as are Catholic
in difficult position, the author of the
article is led to say, "If a single bishop
has already embarrassed the highest
court In the country, the united episcopate
will no doubt hope to achieve a more sig
| nal triumph in future" Thus the matter
! stands in Canada. "On the one side are
the bishops. supported by Pope Plus IN,
| claiming the right to direct the clergy to
use spiritual censures, to compel electors
| to vote against their own wishes; on the
other side is the civil law, interpreted by
a court. from which their is no appeal, by
which elections carried by such undue in
lluence are null and void.

Canada and the Catholics.

A paper in the last number of the North
American Review, on the Ultramon,ane
movement in Canada, represents in an
able and thorough manner the movement
of the Roman Catholic church, which has
for its object absolute control over both pc
litical and spiritual affairs in that Domin-
ion. The danger menacing Canada is
something startling. The clergy of the
Romish church are exhibiting boldness
of intention and tyranny over men
which is not becoming In this age and up
on this continent. There is revealed a
spirit which better becomes the Middle
Ages, when men had not learned to ques-
ton the actions and powers of priests, but
were blindly subservent TO their behests.
Buckle, in his work on civilization, de-
clares that theologians and priests have
been the most bitter foes of human happi-
ness and the most successful ones. And
certainly, this needless and inhuman dab
dians, by the bishops of the Catholic
church, goes to make stronger the asser-
tion of the historian.
At Rome, Canada, in relation to the
American continent, is regarded as 1.-THE
eldest son Of the church" In the con-
summation of the new movement the
bishops and priests of the church are of
course the leaders. But there are second
airy leaders, the descendants of the old
aristocratic families of the Dominion, who
are expected to become faithful echoes
of Ultramontane opinion in the legsla-
ture and the judicial tribunal, at the bar,
10 the lecture room, in houses Of educa-
ton" OF the journals devoted specially
TO the Roman church some were secured
to uphold the new ideas, while those which
dared to differ in the least were speedily
extinguished. A Quebec paper was rash
enough TO republish speech on religious
federation by the Spanish statesman, Cas-
telar. The priests were required to forbid
their parishioners TO read the dangerous
publication in the future, and its certain
death followed.
In 1872, a Jesuit priest asserted the alb
solute supremacy of the church over the
State, and declared that Professionalism
was not religion, and had not a single
right. But the Bishop of Montreal struck
the keynote OF the new movement when
he said, mo one is permitted to he free
10 his religious and political opinions il
is tor the church to teach her children to
be good citizens as well as good Christ
ians, by instilling into them the true prin-
clples Of faith and morals, OF which she
alone is the safe depository" And we
may well believe that the tenure by which
Canadian Protestants hold their liberties is
whatever voting majority they have over
the submissive followers of such preten-
sions.
But the practice of such doctrines fol
lowed. and the danger was imminent
when, less than two years ago, the Roman
Catholic episcopate Of Quebec agreed to
