acknowledging the Queens Son-in-

LONDON Oct. 24.-It is now evident
that the parliamentary campaign will not
pass off without serious rioting in many
quarters, as party feeling, which already
u n high, daily grows more bitter. The
marquis Of Lorne, Liberal candidate for
Hampstead, when at Brentiordtown,
seven miles out of London, to deliver a
campaign speech, while addressing the
electors, a mob assaulted him with rotten
eggs and some of them. gaining the plat
form, smashed his hat over his head. The
supporters of the marquis rushed to his
rescue, and a fight ensued. The noble
lord now became so thoroughly frightened
that he hastily departed from the scene,
ran through the streets in a drenching
rain towards the way station, and imme-
diately departed for London. Meanwhile
the fight continued, the supporters of the
marquis being severely handled and be-
coming discouraged at the desertion by
their champion, they retired, leaving their
contestants masters of the field, who then
seized the platform and passed resolutions
condemning the policy of the Liberals.
When the queens ~son-in-law made his
appearance as a Liberal candidate for
Hampstead, it occasioned considerable
surprise, and when he put forward in his
address advanced Radical opinions, the
surprise was greatly increased. He adop-
ted Chamberlain s programme of free edu-
cation, and advocated immediate disestab-
lishment in Scotland. He championed
the principles Of the free land league, and
with regard TO the encouragement of the
subdivision of land, suggested that the
sale of large estates en- bloc should be sub
jected to heavy taxation, while the sales
of lands to be divided into smaller
lots should be left duty free. As to
the house Of lords he hardly went so far as
the Hampstead Radicals desired, being
of the opinion that the venerable institu-
ton might be amended by the infusion of
elected members. He favored the ex-
tension of local self government to Ire

reached here last night from Claredon,

handle of the most devastating praine
fires ever known in this state. 1t il be-
lieved the number OF acres burned over
will approach 500, 900. The country in
which the fires are raging extends from
Canadian river 100 miles south. 1t is i'm
possible as yet to give any idea of the in
dividual losses. In some places the COW
boys were obliged to ride into the lakes
to save themselves. Judge Brown, of
Claredon, was severely burned while en-
deavoring to save his summer crop of
millet, which was destroyed. Fully one-
fourth of his range was also destroyed.

st. Johns Literary society.

To the Editor of THE LEADER.
Though you have heard nothing of us
of late, our silence was not altogether due
to a lack of interesting matter to report.
We had our regular meetings, our de-
bates and other exercises AZ usual. aud
our society is in a prosperous condition,
Notwithstanding the loss of several of our
most energetic members, who were called
to do battle with life in other sections of
the country. But most OF our members
are modest fellows, adverse to notoriety,
and have a delicacy about having their
names appear too frequently in the col
umns of your widely circulated paper.
For this reason We have decided TO have
fewer reports, but to give them IN a gem
eral way. Among important events OF
the past few meetings was the appoint
ment of a committee on constitution. At
present we are governed by a set of rules
and regulations, pending the adoption of
our constitution and bylaws. We thought
this the better way, as a little experience
would show us the needs of our organiza-
ton, and in this way we would be able to
enact such laws as would meet its require
ments. Another event worthy of note
was a debate on the question: who is
the greatest benefit to his country, the
warrior, the statesman or the poet.
This debate was interesting and %instruc-
ttvn Int ,r,,ra1 a 1,mnpH g. sou,o
of our members, inasmuch as it was de-
cided that the question should be dis
cussed from a philosophical point Of view.
1t is a reflection on the ability on the
gentlemen who defended the warrior and
statesman, to acknowledge that the de-
cision was given in favor Of the poet, for
everybody knows that of the three the
poet is Of the least service to his country;
but his defender triumph is due to the
superior ability of the gentlemen who de-
Tended him. His initials are G. j., re-
versed.
The question for debate at our last
meeting, which was continued till
next, is, "Resoired, That the Chinaman
