The Jacksonville Sentinel says;
"Let it be kept before the people
that this administration has not paid Oh

single step toward formulating any plans
for the relief Of depressed or the en-
coursgsment Of single manufacturing

workings Of republican laws collected
to the aggregate of over three hundred

Charitably, we suppose the Seat'''es

error are rarely shown in so eriet
space. Now for the facts: The public
debt was reduced during tho month OF

figures the Sentinel deliberately declares
that this administration has rot paid q

we are told that ''it has not formulated
any plan to encourage a single manu-.
featuring establishments" Very we'll,
it ia no moro the business Of the govern
msnt to assist private manufacturing
Establishments that happen to be de-
pressed because of the hs,d times, than
it il to assist the farmer who finds him
self unable to make both ends meet in
consequence Of the hard times and the
low price Of grain. The farmer, the
laboring man, aud the mechanic under
republican rule, have been taxed heavily
through the instrumentality Of q high
tariff for the purpose OF encouraging
manufacturing establishment" but We
hope no more Of such encouragement
will be given again at such fearful cost
to consumers. Bat We are fu-:her told
that this administration has not fol-
lowed republican plans of paying the
interest bearing bon Is ETC." Well, we
are truly glad they have not. For one
of these plans Of the republicans was to
change five hundred millions Of i've
twenty bonds payable in currency, to
bonds payable in gold coin, aud this
was done when gold was at premiau.
But we would ask our contemporary
when did the republicans redeem any
bonds except when they Issued new
bonds 10 their ssead. Republicans must
do better than the above or their
fault-6nding will avail but littls.

4 Case for Inquiry.

OTTAWA, March M.-In the House
of Commons Gordon moved for cop
les of all correspondence bearing on
or referring to the appointment Of q
Joint Commission with the United
States Government for the surveying
OF the boundary line between British
Columbia and the Uniled States ter
rit Try of Alaska. He stated to-day
that the boundary was practically nm
defined. So long as there were no
troubles there, this was all right, but
New York papers had stated recently
that an American armed expedition,
under Lieutenant Schwatka, had
travelled q thousand miles into Brit
,sh territory east of Alaska, and
Lieu enant Allen was now conduct
Ing an expedition three or four hum
dred miles into British territory. He
could hardly believe these statements
true. seeing that on the Pacific Coast
Canadians and Americans lived very
tremendously. He would like to
hear from the Government on the
point, aud would be pleased 1t assur-
ance could be given that the bou q.
Diary line will shortly be surveyed.
The Minister of Public Works gives
notice that the attention Of the gov
ernment will be directed to the artt-
Gle from the New York papers. He
inquired into the truthfuiness OF the
article and found there was no foun-
datlon for it. The importance Of
having the boundaries surveyed had
received the attention Nf the govern.
ment. It would not overlook the
matter, and the motion was carried.

Court this morning granted Q writ Of
error in the case Of Machim and Gal

They were admitted to bail In the
sum Of CSC, 600 each, and released
from Jail. The time for sending the
two men to the penitentiarry expired

not been granted they would have
been taken to Joliet. The time for
hearing the writ of error has NIT yet

case, Judge Gresham said after ex-
amlning the records of the District
Court he considered the question:
raised sufficiently grave to warrant
him to grant . writ Of error which
would also operate as . stay of pro-
ceedings. This ruling. however, was
not to be taken that he would over
rule the findings of the District
Court on tie final trial. In granting
the stay of proceedings he would feel
