The merchants Of Montreal seem to be
seriously exercised over the question OF
canal tolls and port charges. They claim
that there Ia no chance for their export
trade under Its present burdens, and de-
mand of the Government the abolition of
tolls on the Welland and St. Lawrence
Canals and the reduction OF harbor dues
to one.eighth of cent per ton. Then
they think they might have a fair chance
In competition with the ports of the United
States. The Government. on the other
hand. Is represented as reluctant to take
upon itself the burden of sustaining the
steamship lines. and Is limiting that the
forwarders OF freight exact unreasonable
charges aud stand in the way of the devel-
oping oi their own business. All this is
but AN incident in the contest between in
land water routes and railroads. Canada
is evidently not reaping tho advantage it
expected from the Welland Canal, and it
Is doubtful II it would come IL tolls were
removed. The removal of tolls from the
Erie Canal was disappointing in its re-
suits. and probably the enlargement of
that waterway. even il done at the expense
Of the National Government. would be
equally so. 1t is questionable whether.
In the keen competition of railway trans
portation. internal water lines are to sur
vive as factor In foreign trade.

Eating Horse Flesh.
A HUNDRED RoRsEs SLAUGHTERED IN
MANCHESTER, ENGLAND, DAILY.
( From the Liverpool Courier. ]

From the Liverpool Courier.
There NAV be people who prefer horse to
beef. but, as point in dispute, practical
step for solving the doubt is being taken in
Manchester. A hundred horses are slaugh-
tered in that city every week, and cut up and
sold a. butchers meat" The trade is car
ried on in the poor districts, where the steaks
find ready purchasers ranging from Sd. to Sd.
per pound. There can be no pretence for
saying that the flesh of healthy horse is not
fit for human food There are epicares who
prefer it to the choicest beef. but it has been
their rare good fortune to get "dainty dish"
which does not ordinarily come in the market.
The question is not whether the flesh is fit
to be eaten, but whether wholesome animal
is killed for sale, 1t will not pay butcher
to bug healthy horse to slaughter and retail
at prices lower than is paid for beef, and it
may therefore be safely assumed that the ami
mails which find their way to the shambles
are either diseased or so FUSED up as to rem
der them quite unsuitable for a mans table.
There is no doubt, then, that cruel fraud is
perpetrated upon the buyer of this stuff by
the butcher who deals in it, and the only way
to check it is by regulating the sale under
specific conditions, and this is what they are
trying to bring about in Manchester. When
the restrictions are enforced it will be inter
estinQ to note whether horse flesh at Sd. per
pound can compete with American beef.

The testimony in the trial of Buddensiek
makes his case look much darker even
than the unsworn reports. 1t was proved
Thursday. that the dirt excavated from
the cellars was used To make the mortar
OF the walls. Worse than this, 1t was
shown that Buddensiek was warned on
the day the buildings fell that they were
likely to fall. and that. In spite Of the
warning, he kept ss many Of the men at
work as could be induced 10 continue
working. This testimony goes to show
that Buddensiek's responsibility for the
death Of Walter. instead Of being merely
q general liability for criminal negligence
in constructing the buildings. was direct
and specific.

A Chinese Miners Luck.

Years ago John Manuel left home and
family in England and came to Iowa
ELL to seek his fortune. Every year
he added to his pile, and when his
oldest boy was grown he came to share
his labors. One snowy day mighty
cave from the North Star banks crush
ed out the lads life, and the father
followed him to the grave.
The next son came from England,
and they both worked in this same
mine till the father yielded up his
life under another avalanche of earth
and stone. 1t was known that he had
money buried somewhere, but. though
they dug and searched, no one could
find clue to its hiding place. In a
couple of months the second son was
sacrificed in the same manner and on
almost the same spot where his father
and brother had been killed, and
mother and family in England were
bcreaved indeed.
The search for the money was given
up in despair, and the i'll fated men
and their story were all but forgotten.
when this week a couple of China
men, who speak good English, told
that last summer a Chinaman, work
ing on the night shift in the old Jami-
son diggings, saw large box come
down with a cave. On examination
he found that it contained $1,000 and
a sparkling ring. This was doubtless
Manuel's money, for he was known to
have taken diamond ring for debt
of $3.50. 1t had been hidden under
the old Ladd house, owned by the
late Mr.. Carder, in which house Man
uel lived at the time of the accident.
The crafty heather told but one per-
son, fellow heather. swearing him to
secrecy till he should have departed
in safety. The finder is now in the
Flowery Kingdom, where he has
probably become nabob or manda-
rim by this time.-PlGcer Times.
