The present policy of the Canadian govern
ment as far as can be discovered from its
acts, seems to be to avoid direct issue on
the treaty of 1918, and rely upon Its custom
laws to harass and annoy our vessels. All
the seizures of late have been for alleged vio-
lations of those laws. Laws of this kind
which have never been enforced before have
suddenly assumed great importance in the
eyes of the Canadian officials, and the luck
less American vessel which transgresses
them in the slightest particular is gobbed
up and its owners compelled to pay heavy
ransom for its release. This is a shrewd
move on the part of the Ottawa government
for of course the seizure of vessel for vio-
lation of the custom laws affords less ground
for interference on the part Of our govern
ment, than the seizure of vessel for vio-
lating the treaty as Canada con-
strues it, A treaty is an interna-
tional agreement and neither party
is necessarily bound by the construction put
upon it by the other. But customs regula-
ton is entirely the affair Of the nation that
makes it, and other nations are under obliga-
tion to conform to it. The seizure OF a YES
sci for violation of customs law can hardly
be made matter for interference by our
government, while the seizure Of vessel
for violating the constructor put upon an
international agreement by the other party
to it may be. The only way therefore we
can meet the present attitude of the Canadian
government towards our vessels is by assum-
ing the same attitude toward Canadian yes-
sels Our customs laws must be stringently
enforced against them, and whenever one of
them is caught violating our laws in the
slightest particular she must be seized. and
the heaviest penalty imposed. Retaliation
is the only medicine that will compel the
Canadians to abandon their present tactics.

- The English elections are drawing to a
close. There will be twenty pollings today,
twenty-five tomorrow, sixteen on Wednes-
day, seven on Thursday, seven on Friday,
and two on Saturday. The returns at the
end of last weeks voting showed that the
Tories had secured majority of three over
all, that is, over the regular Liberals, the
Parnellites and the Uuionist Liberals COM
bined. There is no prospect that the voting
this week will materially change the situa-
ton, although the absolute majority of three
for the Tories is so small that the pollings Of
this week may wipe it out. But the Tories
and their allies, the Unionist Liberals, are
sure of majority of nearly hundred over
the Gladstone Liberals and Parnellites COM
bined
There can be no doubt that Mr. Gladstone
has been defeated; badly defeated. But the
principle that he mas espoused has by no
means suffered an alarming mishap. When
the last Parliament met, there were in it
hardly more than eighty members, led by
Parnell pledged to home rule; when the
next Parliament meets there will be nearly
three hundred members pledged to the prin-
ciple, led, not only by Parnell but by Glad
stone himself If the Tories form govern
ment their course must be one Of disappoint-
ment; if the Tories and UnionistS together
form coalition ministry, little but calamity
can result; for the opposition in either case
will be composed of well disciplined body,
led by the brightest and most experienced
statesmen in the kingdom. Meanwhile there
is but one definite policy before the Parlia-
ment and the country, and thu. policy is Mr..
Gladstones. He alone has "a cling star by
which to shape his course.

The Senate has done what it could to help
purify the Department of Justice by refus-
confirm Solicitor General Goode
Goode has been in office a year, and if he has
brought forth any works meet for repent
ance for the ballot-box stufing which he
was guilty of some years ago, when he was
candidate for Congress, the public is not
aware of it. The only act of his which has
attracted any attention is the bringing of a
suit in the name of the government to assist
the Pan-Electric spectators, and that is any
thing but reputable act. Goode is said to
have been SO anxious to be confirmed that he
promised Republican senators if they would
vote for him that Republican office-holders
in his department should not be disturbed,
and that Republicans should get a liber
al share of the patronage. If the Presi-
dent would now supplement the Senate's
good work by instructing Attorney General
Garland that his resignation would be ac-
cepted, he would commend himself to his

foods in the market, WE REQUEST NO CHANGE
OF FOOD, but add or more drops four times
daily of Murdock's Liquid Food, and you will find
that their lost or needed vitality will be restored
to them in less than thirty days.
Not case of Cholera Infantum known where
Murdocks Liquid Food has been used, nor death
from Cholera sInfantum where it has been pre-
scribed by physician.
LIQUID Food compare with other Foods and Ton
les? We refer to the State Inspector of Foods for
Massachusetts in his annual report for 1886.
Murdock's Liquid Food contains I41O per cent.
II albumen; all the other foods do not contain
any. Common food does not contain over one per
cent. that is available.
1t contains less organic matter than common
food. and common food contains 1886; the other
preparations from 22.62 to 6o.50 per cent.
1t contains 0.42 of ash, which is indigeStible
matter The others contain from $50 to 23.74
per cent.
a.ations are all TONES, as they contain from
2N.13 to 56.13 per cent
These facts show why Murdock's Liquid Food
excels all other foods and preparations in making
new blood and cleansing the system of disease.

rounds new blood monthly, and the system con-
tains "a to % pounds.

NOT A GOOD MAN FOR a SOLICITOR.
Boston Advertiser.

The Senate did well to reject the nomina-
ton of Solicitor General Goode. He is the
chief man in the department of justice under
agement of government cases in the Supreme
Court. His chief reputation has come from
his unfortunate connection with the Pan
Electric matter But this was not the cause
of his rejection. 1t was due to his participa-
by which, in 1874, he secured a seat in Con-
gress from the Norfolk, Va, district, in spite
of an honest Republican majority cast
against him.

Postmaster Veazey Of Baltimore no doubt
violated the spirit of the civil servic law, and
his condemnation by the civil service COM
missioners is proper enough. But he did on
ly what many other government officials
have been, and still are doing. The Collec-
tor of New York has managed to fill his of
fee up with Democrats notwithstanding the
law, and more than ninety per cent of the
clerks appointed by Commissioner of Pen
sions Black are his political friends. The
civil service commissioners should not end
their investigations with the Baltimore post
office.
Mr.. Randalls tariff bill has been reported
adversely, and referred to the committee of
the whole. The report was submitted by
Mr. Morrison and is explained by this dec
laration: $50 far as it has a purpose affect
ing the revenue of the government, the bill
might well be left to that neglect which, no
doubt, it was expected to receive. But in
the hope that even so uuwise a measure may
open the way for the majority of the House
of Representatives to redeem its pledge for
the removal and reduction of unnecessary
and therefore unjust taxes your committee
report the bill back with the recommended
ton that it do not pass" How the Demo-
Gratis of the House can fulfill their pledges
to the country by reporting adversely a bill
which is but legislative curiosity anyway
is left unexplained.
