OTTAWA, Jan. 26.-The attendance At the
Dominion bo ird OF Trade this year was smaller
than usual. The Province Of New Brunswick
had not a single representative present. Mr..
]. White. delegate from Montreal, iu tho course
Of his rcmarks on the Donnton Immigration
policy, advocated the old scheme Of The cun.
structtoh Of the Canada Pacific Railway BY
handling the works over to company, together
with certain subsidies.
The Government will, at the approaching ses'
sion Of Parliament, propose tho appropriation
of sutn of money sufficiently larRa to dcfray
the expenses Of sending Commission to the
Sydney tNc~ South Wales) International Ex-
htbitlon, which opens In August next. As al
the gootls which arc intended to be exhibited
must 10 shipped as Montreal by the 1ss of
March next, It will be too 1atc for tho Govern
incnt to request exhibitors to take part ia the
Exhibition nftcr tha appropriation has been
,uadc. Therefore, In accordance with the prayer
Of the Dominion Board oi Trade for immediate
action, circular will at once be Issued request
Ing Canadian manufacturers 10 make exhibits.
A significant notion Of the Board of Trade,
which forcshadows breach in the ranks OF tue
proteetionsts, was tho practscnl refusal Of tile

has been my honor to serve the people
of Kansas in public capacity for the
past six years. During that period l
have endcavorcd to so demean myself
that NO citizen might have occasion to
be ashamed of my cotluct; and the most
1 can do, in this most solemn, most sig
ni6cant, and at the same time most i'm
pressive hour, is TO renew the pledge
that made six years ago, that ito the
welfare, glory and future development
of the State, pledge my best efforts to
the extent of my life, my fortune and
my sacred honor l beg to say that the
conclusion of this campaign leaves no
trace of bitterness or resentment to-
ward any Of my adversaries. They
were all honorable gentlemen, who had
a right to aspire to the place which they
desired to fill, and / can only repeat that
in the campaign which has just closed, l
feel no trace of resentment. no feeling
of vindictiveness towards any one who
has been my rival. 1 therefore particu-
larry desire that at this time, laying aside
all the feuds and disagreements that
have distracted us heretofore, we may
devote ourselves to the glo-
rification of the State of which we are
all SO justly proud. know that you
are anxious TO adjourn that you may de-
part for your homes, and ! will not de-
tain you further than to close by thank
ing you from the bottom of my heart
for this most distinguished honor you
have again conferred upon me-"

In 1913 he proposed that the executive
should be chosen by the National A.

with the title of President.
He was elected TO the Corps Ie0islatif

tiouai Assembly by three departments.
taking his seat for thai Of .Jura. where
he was born. He was President Of the

Of course, the Sc16ntorial contest IN
the Kansas LegislAtuse has resulted Ia
the election Of Senator lngn1k. an& Of
course, Leayenwortk again threw sWay
her inauence and her opportunity, Is
usual, aud allied herself with the for
tunes Of an individual who never lad
the ghost OF chance of Success. Il
does NO good to talk about what might
have been. but we cannot refrain from
asking the the people of Leavenworth
to consider how much better it would
have been for our people to-day if our
Representatives ut Topeka had. from
the first, given cordial and unanimous
support to Mr.. Ingalls,? There was ev-
cry reason for his reelection. and no
good reason why he should not have
been reelected. The interests of the
State the interests of the Republican
party. and the interests Of the country,
all demanded his return: all demanded
that he should be continued in q position
that he had filed for six wears with
ability, and with credit to himself and
the State and a proper regard for the
public good-to say nothing of the poll
CIV of such Acourse-demanded that our
Representatives should have supported
him. But the foolish policy of running
after any man who happens to live in
Leavenworth, without regard TO his tit
ness or availability. has again placed us
in hostility to the victoriou scan,lidate.
and left us without any claim upon
him.
The news of the reelection of Mr..
ingalls, will be hailed with pleasure in
all parts OF the country, and will afford
cause for rejoicing to all those who
believe that ability, integrity, and faith
ful devotion TO the public interest.
should outweigh all considerations of
personal ambition and personal malice /:
II viii be hailed with pleasure by all
those who believe that faithful devotion
to duty should be rewarded, and il viii
afford cause Of rejoicing 10 all those
who believe that campaign conducted
solely upon filth, falsehood and vituper-
alton should not succeed.
Having proved himself during his
present term. To be the ablest Represen-
tative that Kansas ever had in the
United States Senate, Mr.. ingalls, will
now go back TO the United States Sem
ate with reputation and prestige
which will enable him to accomplish
more for his State than any half dozen
men we could send. Instead of being
classed among new members" he viii
now take rank among ''old Senators"
Very few OF those whose terms expire
this year very few have been reelected.
and the class that now ranks him in
term of Office is not very numerous. In
point of reputation, experience and
ability, he will now be clas,ed with
Conkling, Edmunds and Blaine, where
rs any one of his competitors except
Phillips, would have gone TO Washing
ton absolutely unknown to the country.
and total stranger to the work re-
quired of him.
His reelection is victory for the
the State, over the politicians for the
good of the country, over the aspiration
of rival candidates for faithful public
service and devotion TO duty, over
personal malice and personal revenge !;
and, we may be pardoned for remarking
in conclusion, a victory for the Times
LedreHrOyth Times.

it is not because there is no intellect or

with it and dclvc away.
Nearly two years ago the beauties of
this grandly delusive Eden first filmed

Since then Erie came forth, for at that

The people said Erie, and Erie it had to
be. One more proof, Mr.. Editor, that
the people are sovereign in this land.
Since we came here, our township has
grown amazingly, almost beyond credu-
lily. We will not try to tell how much,
for that would tax too heavily your
space and patience. Suffice il to say
that there are scores of houses and cul-
tivated farms now in this township to
where there was one, two years ago.
Aud the people cvincc their intellectual
culture and capacity by organizing and
equipping school districts. holding
schools. church services, and literary
entertainments therein, and by vetoing
at the ballot box the sale Of profitable
railroad stock. The general quiet of
our corner is seldom disturbed. our cit
zens being in the main a quiet and or
derby class of people. To be sure we
have our share of neighborhOod gossip.
but that is nobody's business but our

Scofield Interviewed.

The st. Louis Globe Democrat of the
3lst ult, publishes the following inter-
view with {. J. Scotield. formerly of
this city. In view of statements made
during the recent Senatorial campaign.
Scoficld's statements are interesting.
1t will be seen that he (ScoiielD gives an
emphatic denial to the stories published
by the Kansas City Times concerning
his relations with Mr.. ingalls,.
"Mr. Cyrus Scofeld said Yesterday
to e-DemocJm reporter. in refer
ence TO the letters written by senator
ingalls,, that the publication OF this cor
responience by NJ Munford, of the
Kansas City Times, was an act of bad
faith. Moreover that, if the whole cor
reslSndence had been published. and
not grabbed extracts, nothing derogato-
nv to the character OF Senator ingalls,
could even be inferred lie also denied
in the most emphatic manner the cxis-
tencc of any letter in which Mr.. ingalls,
had ever suggested that Pomeroy be
compelled 10 pay money to secure i'm
munity from prosecution for the York
bribery in the contes; of 1873. The case
against Pomcroy. Scofie.d aserts. was al-
manner of silencin" an unfortunate po-
liiical scandal and reuniiing the Repub-
lican party IN Kansas fact, was a
party measure recommended by leaders
Of the party after mature consideration.
The ''Scoiield letters" were intrusted To
Mumford in 1874, for use in the prepara-
ton Of an article intended to show the
voters of Kansas that Ingalls, was aim
ing at political supremacy in that State.
and this and nothing more could be
shown from their contents. Mr.. ScotieId
also stated to the reporter on leaving
that he had not been on friendly terms
with Mr.. ingalls, for two or three years
but the rupture was for private reasons.
and he was cognizant of no change of
corruption which could be successfully
brought against the present Senator
from Kansas.
"A very complete and convincing his
tory of the Circumstances which have
brought out this correspondence was
given, and want of space alone precln'ics
its publication"
