1t is just rs we'll that Lieut.. Bignell is
going to make a thorough exploration of
Lake Mistassini. but we think he is i'm
prudent in deciding to take only Indians
with him. He ought to reflect that the
conflicting nature of the reports about the
size of the lake are in great measure due
to the fact that no large party has been
there. When individuals make such ex-
plorations there is always danger that be
cause their observations have not been
checked they will be disputed. This is
what happened to the first explorer of
Mistassini, and this is what happened to
the engineer of the Geological Survey.
If Lieut.. Bignell expects to settle the dis
pute as to the size of the lake, he ought
to take at least half dozen scientific OBJ
servers with him. Then there would re.
suit body of evidence which could not
be rejected. But if he takes only Indians,
all he says on his return will have to stand
alone and should he find the lake really
smaller than the armchair geographers
have decided that it must be. he is likely
to experience as unpleasant reception as
Du Chaillu encountered when he intro
duced the gorilla to an unbelieving Brit
ish public.

A WOrkmen's Friend.

In Belgium manufacturer named Rey,
who employs some 5000 people has establish
ed a system from which the government pro-
bsbly secured the model of its late legislation
in regard to the relations of employers and
workingmen. Mr.. Rey retains per cent of
the wages of all the people employed by him,
which entities every worker in his service to
the attendance of physical free Of charge
when he is ill. While sick the workingman
gets half pay, and meat and wine when
ordered by the physician. Women during
confinement receive medical attendance free
of charge, and when married workmen dies
his widow receives a pension at the rate of
one third of his wages, if he had been IN the
employ of Rey ten years. and one half his
wages if he had been in his service over ten
years. This pension is generally continued
until the children are able to earn their own
living.
A pension for life is given all workmen
who have been in the employ Of Rey over Is
wears who have become invalided. Goods
are bought by the establishment at Wholesale
prices and sold to the working people at an
adv ance Of from to 5 per cent, and il there
is any profit on the transaction it is used for
the benefit OF the employees. In addition to-
this, Nj. Rey encourages saving by paying q
SUBSTANTIAL inlcre,i on all sums deposited with
him, and he las large number of houses
which he rents to mis- people at rates consid-
erablv below the prevailing price.-Chseago

more recognition than heretofore. I'm
der the present system there is little to in

obtained, nothing but perseverance in
holding on is required to secure promo

right TO precedence over his incapable
associate and more important than that.
the government should have the services

The report that Russia has occupied
Quelpaert, in the Corean Archipelago,
does not sound probable. Only few
weeks ago it was reported that the English
had taken the island and had begun to for
THY it. Now it is said that the English
have not only disappeared, but that their
rivals are doing the fortifying. If Eng
land really did occupy Quelpaert, and
abandoned it in Difference to Russian ap-
prehensions. it can hardly be believed
that even Russian duplicity would go the
length implied to the latest rumor. Such
an act indeed would strain the patience OF
Liberal Government. and might be ex-
pected to break down the endurance of
the less tolerant Conservatives. But
Quelpaert is long way off. and the news
thence is apt to get warped in its travels.

meeting will be held to discuss fully
the questions relating to our interior

interests to this improvement. They
must be aroused as to the nature and
extent of the opposition arrayed
against it. If the people become

will men seek to stop or capital seek

There was no intention of the
Chief Justic to open the book at
any particular place, and no desire
of President Cleveland that there
should be anything prearranged
about the ceremony in any way. The
particular place where he kissed,
therefore, was the result of an acci-
dent entirely. A. the type used in
the Bible is small, the lips of the
President touched six verses of the
ll2th Psalm, from verse 3 to verse
10, inclusive. They are as follows;
A good man showeth favor and
lendeth; he will guide his affairs
with discretion.
Surely he shall not be moved for
ever; the righteous shall be in ever
lasting remembrance.
He shall not be afraid of evil It'd
ings; his heart is fixed trusting in
the Lord.
His heart is established, he shall
not be afraid, until he see his desire
upon his enemies.
He hath dispersed, be hath given
to the poor; his righteousness en-
dureth forever; his horn shall be
exalted with honor.
The wicked shall see it, and be
grieved; he shall gnash his teeth
and melt away; the desire Of the
wicked shall perish.-[ Baltimore

AN ADDRESS TO THE PEOPLE.
WASHINGTON, March S-Tbe fol-
lowing address will be issued to-
morrow by the executive committee
on the Improvement Of the Western
waterways:
WAsnINGToN, March S-To the
People of the Mississippi Valley,
and to the Exchanges and CONNER
cial Bodies: The Forty-eigh
Congress closed its first session
without making any appropriations
for the improvement of the Western
waterways. There were many
causes which brought about such a
result, but the important one was
the failure on the part of the con-
gressmen of the Mississippi valley
to stand and vote together. The
executive committee on the improve
ment of the Western waterways
have always and earnestly advocat-
ed united action on the part of the
people Of the valley in regard to
this great subject, as it believed
that there was little hope of ulti-
mate success, with the fixed and
firm opposition of the Eastern and
Middle states, unless the members
from the interior acted together.
The discussion upon the appropria-
ton for Western waterways in the
river and harbor bill revealed an
opposition in the West which was
unexpected. For reasons not made
clear, many Western congressman
arrayed themselves in opposion to
further work in improving our riv-
ers. BY their action and neglect
the great work has been delayed,
and unless vigorous measures are
taken on the part OF the people in
terested In cheap water transporta-
tion, the work of improving our
waterways will be abandoned or
postponed for years. The executive
committee at its last meeting adopt
ed the following resolutions:
That the boards of trade and 9TH
er commercial organizations of the
commercial centres Of the Mississip-
p valley states be invited to send
delegates to celebrate Improvement
of the Western Waterways Day" at
the Worlds Industrial and Cotton
Centennial Exposition on day to
be designated hereafter.
That the chairman of this commit
tee be requested to confer with the
exposition board Of management on
this subject and that the secretary
prepare and send circular letters of
invitation to the various parties in
terested.
In accordance with these resolu-
tions the managers of the New Or
leans Exposition have set apart the
7th and Sth of April, 1855, as " I'm
pruvement of Western Waterway
Days" These days will be given
to a discussion of what measures are
necessary to reinstate this work of
river Improvement. Some of the
most prominent speakers and orators
of the country, whose names will
be given hereafter, will be present.
This committee now calls upon the
people of the Mississippi valley to
assemble at New Orleans OH the
aboye named days. 1t calls upon
the governors of the Mississippi val
ley states, and upon officers of ma-
