The statement is so obvious as not to admit of argument that Mir. Morrison and
 those whom he represents, are free traders and not tariff reformers. His bill is free trade bill and not tariff reform measure.
 And why not Simply because they hold that any protective duty is burden and should be removed. Knowing by experi- ence that they cannot successfully attack the system of protection as a whole as free traders, pure and simple, they endeav- or to break 1t down by piece-meal, under the dismalest pretence of tariff reform. Yet they are free traders as much in the one line of effort as in the other. .-Boston Commercial BuLLetSN.

Hartford Times: The massive state capitol of New York, at Albany, which has so far cost $17, ,5O0, ,OOO, with pros pect of going to twenty millions or over, is now offered for sale at auction. Sep- tember 15 is the day named. To anybody desiring neat and cheap article in state capitols, this affords desirable opportuni- ty. It may be cheaper for the state to sell it's big building for what it will fetch. and build new one, under srr1ct anti-jobbing conditions. The reason why this costly pile is in the market is that somebody whose duty it is to pay the annual water tax of $1 has probably gone a-fshing, for getting all about this little indebtedness
 The county treasurer has, therefore, in- cluded the building with other property in the city which is in arrears for water taxes, and he proposes to sell it just as he
 would any other piece of property, unless meanwhile somebody steps in and pays the arrearage. The exact amount charged up against the building on the treasurer's s books is only $3. 74-$1 is for water taxes, g. for advertising, 50 cents for auction eer's fees, and "A cents for sundries. }

The election in Londonderry City, one of the two great centers of Professionalism in Ulster, shows how evenly divided are the two great parties in the north of Ire land. Justin Mccarthy is defeated by only three votes. This represents the actual majority which can be mustered against home rule in one of the strong holds of the Orangemen- three votes. Yet fonmonths the Tory and Chamberlin forces have been arguing about Ulster on the as- sumption that it was practically a unit against MT. Gladstone's scheme of legisla- tion. The Londonderry election furnishes an instructive commentary upon the text of the Ulster controversy as found in Lord Randolph Churchill's and MT. Chamber. lain's speeches.

FINANCE DEPARTMENT.
Salary of Minister, $12 600 Carried.
Salary of Auditor General, $4,000
Mr.. Dole moved the item be stricken out
He was sorry the report of the Auditor
General had not yet come in. Last session
on investigation it was found that the posi-
ton was not of much use to the country.
The reports of the Auditor for the last two
sessions only covered page of paper and
were utterly worthless. They were only
an apology for a report. The department
was intended TO be check upon improper
expenditures, to see that money was spent
as i'll the Appropriation bill. At the end
of 1884 lots of money had been Illegally
expended. During the past biennial period
it is reported that large amount has been
spent without authority There is no
utility for the Office as it is carried out. 1t
would be much cheaper for the nation to
purchase a stamp, so that all vouchers to
be confirmed be stamped. He had nothing
but the most friendly feelings towards the
present occupant of the position, but pub
lie claims caused him to make the motion.
Mr.. Kalua moved the item be deferred
for the present
Mr.. Kaulukou moved it pass as in the

Mr.. Castle said he would like some in
formation on this item.
His Excellency Mr.. Gibson regretted
that the Minister of Finance was not pres
ent. He was not fully acquainted with the
duties of the Finance Department so
could not speak authOritatively on the
subject. A resolution had been passed
asking for written statement of the in
debtedness of the country. The informa-
ton to be given he was sure would be
perfectly satisfactory to the House. He
would move that the item, with the one
following il (interest on National debit be
deferred for the present. Carried.
