Senator Payne.

Columbus, II. - Senator elect
Payne spent the day calling on Gov
ernor Headley and visiting the State
departments. He to night rendered
a banquet to memters Of the Legis-
lature, and in the course of his re-
marks the Senator said his election
was a high compliment to the DEM
ocrats of Northern Ohio and their
loyalty 10 the party. Tie civil SER
vice law, he said, was Ike trying to
clean the Augean stables with a
tooth brush; that the only remedy
for the service which has been
under the control of Republicans
for the past twenty years, and all
Offices flied from the highest to the
lowest by representatives of that
party, was to elect a democratic
President. This would be che only
complete and radical remedy. He
favored tariff for revenue limited to
necessities, economically adminis-
tered and so adjusted as to encour-
age productive industries at home
and afford just compensat on to
laborers, without fostering monopo-
lee.

Canadian Parliament.

Ottawa, 1.-THE Governor General
opened Parliament to-day in person. In
his speech he Sc d, II rejoice to learn that
although the last harvest has been less
productive than its predece sors, and al
though there are indications that the
rapid expansion of your commerce will
be to some extent followed by over-trad-
ing, the general condition OF the domin-
ion is such as to justify me in congratu-
lating you on its prosperity"
The relations of the Dominion with
British Columbia are pronounced of a
most cordial character. Owing TO the in
crease of population amendments to the
northwest territories act are deemed ex-
pedient. The progress making by tie
Indians is pronounced satisfactory. The
more advanced Indian communities
should be encouraged to assume the re-
sponsibility of self-government.
