my first visit to the Canadian house of com
] had heard of similar attacks i'll other
states. While the speaker was lerating his
fellow members, much to my amusement,
struggled with the French language in con-
versation with a French Canadian. He told
me much that ought to have been known, but
was not. TIL man in a great black gown
was the speaker. The men who sat on his
right We're known as the government party,
or politically speaking, the Conservatives.
The keen looking men occupying front seats
were the various ministers, The mon are
not like the American cabinet officers.
Here they sit III the house, introduce meas
ures, answer questions, and defend the gov
ernmental policy from the attacks of the OPP
position. On the speakers left are the mem
beers of the opposition, or Liberals. They are
out of power, and their principal business is
to devise schemes of getting back. The gov
eminent and the opposition have seats directly
facing each other. They remind one OF q
spelling match on an exaggerated scale, First

air himself. and then q member OF the oppo-

Brown and the New Minfster.

"Have you called on the Browns yet ?''
she asked, as the new minister was about
to take his leave after making q call.
"I'm just going" he replied. "It's the
third house from the corner, I belieye? ~
"Yes-third house. They are very,
very nice people, and I know you'll like
'em."
When the minister rang the bell there
was some delay in answering it. Mean
while the screen doors permitted him to
hear from the interior. Brown. who
seemed to be up stairs, called over the
banisters:
"Say. Helen, were in thunder is that

"Who are you talking to ?" demanded
q voice from below.

at this jnncture the minister was
ushered in, and Mrs. Brown soon entered
the parior, extended both hands and
gsyly exclaimed:

wanted to see you 80 much! Solomon

sition takes his turn. About twenty feet of
space separates the two parties, and across
this field the sides lombard each other with
hot shots of eioouence and ideas. The room
Is rectangular III shape, with galleries around
the four sides. On each members desk are
printed orders of the day and various bills.
All these are printed in both English and
French, also every measure introduced into
the house must be read aloud in both lam
guages. The speeches are almost always de-
livered in English, although l heard four or
five French efforts.
The house is an active body of bright, ener-
getic men, who discuss measures. 1t is q
place of interest to the visitor, as well as in
structive and especially suggestive to the
American. 1t sets their ~neighbors many a
good example. The house is the governing
body of Canada. 1t is the originator aid
maker of ail the laws. Members of the house
are elected for five years, but il the governs
ment side is defeated, the ministers resign and
another election may take place at once. A
senate helps make up the parliament.
The senate, as far as l was able to judge, is
a body almost, III not entirely, fossilized.
They are a kindly-facei set of old men, who
are appointed for life. They do-well, it may
be doubted if the Canadians can tell what
their senators do as legislators. They are
supposed To rectify the hasty measures OF tho
house. England sends TO Canadn u governor
general, who receives his pay from Canada
S50,000a year, besides large sums for house,
bold expenses. The present governor gem
eral Is the Marquis of Lansdew,,e, an inteiii-
gent man and u most perfect gentleman. He
Is much liked. He lives just in the st,burhs
Of Ottawa, at Rideau Hall-an impressive
name for a very sorry-looking guiernatorlai
mansion.
Canada's premier Is Sir. John A Macdonald.
He has been a political power in Canada for
forty yearSIand more. He looks like the late
Lord Beatbnsdeld. He has a great power
over men. Il journalist told me he refused
to be introduced TO Sir John, because his bus
mess was to oppose iiini. and Sir John had too
great u power III making men friends for aim

son. lie is n walking encyclopedia of
faces ON the industries of the world.
Canadian manufacturers have never had
a more patriotic friend. Manufacturers
associations and various manufactures look
to him as their founder. He was one of
the first to make buttons from sawdust and
to snelt iron ore with crude petroleum. He
was secretary OF the advisory board of the
Centennial exhibition. MIR. Frazer is q fine
and most instructive conversational. To my
American countrymen who have to deal with
him I will say that they viii find him clear
headed and open when they DEL in an honest
manner with him, but keen and justly severe
when any deception is attempted. Canada's
last political issue was free trais and protec-
tion.
The present political stats of the govern
ment is the result OF a movement which began
about 1870. Prior to 1870 protection had been
Ably advocated by the late Hon. Isaac Bu-
chanan aud Mr. John Mclean. At that time
a number of young men, headed by Mr.. w.
II. Frazer, Mr.. w. Fl. Rowland and Mr.. w.
II, Roster, begun the agitation of some vital
questions, which both political parties decried.
These active, progressive men formed a move
ment called 4Canada First keenly alive to
progress, patriotic in love for their country,
believing in its resources aril its ability to be-
come n great manufacturing country, and
impressed with the prosperity of the United
States, they sought the causes of Canada's
stagnation and remedies FOR her betterment.
They insisted on a greater national feeling-a
stronger love for the whole land, and dis
.ountenanced the prevailing sec.ionalism.
Love for PROVINCE must become secondary to
love for Gaiada. These men believed that a
protective tariff was the means of developing
the industries of the country and making it
Able 10 sustain itself in competition with its
great neigllhor, the United States. These
|tieas were stuntly combatted by the free
|~traiers. The canada First" however, be-
liep.i that American prosperity was due to
their protective policy. Up to this time Ca
madam tariff had been for revenue only.
The new party received recruits from
both Conservatives and Liberals. Their
growth was slow. Mr.. Frazer with his
solid business attachments and far-seeing sense
gave up his business and entered politics. He
was ably assisted by Mr.. A. w. Wright, of
Toronto, They spoke throughout the land
and became apostles of the now famous ma
tional policy. They taught the people and
enkindled their enthusiasm. True, the free
traders declared their tradings TO be false.
BY the year 1878 the Conservatives, with Sir
JIo.;i A. Macdonald at their head, ~caughtup
the ideas of the national policy, and with these
principles were carried into power by over
whelming majorities. This party claims to
show many fruits as the result of their cue
cess. Before 1878 Canada had not a single
cotton mill. Now she has twenty. Not a

forty-four young ladies at Chautauqua
where there is n young man. At the
approach of nearly every steamer to the
Ohautauqua dock during the week a
beyy of maidens, fair and sweet, crowded
with spy glasses and opera
glasses ID their hands %anxiously gazing
ut the decks of the approaching steamer,
looking for the possibly coming of some
more young men. Ii is absolutely
unsafe for O young man to stroll about

met o young lady:
"Good morning" said he, raising his
hat and passing on.
"Why, how do you dc? 2" said she, rush
ing up and g%rasping his hand. Where
are you goingp
"To dinner" be replied.
What's the matter with taking me
along? ?" she said, smiling sweetly. And
he took her.
Another young man was rushing for
the boat. He met an old-tlme lady
acquaintance.
where are you go1ng?" she asked.
To Mayville," said he, as lie fastened
on.
Gness 1 will go, too," said she. and
she did.
Then O young friend of mine, who
only arrived here from Cleveland yester-
day, showed me o note he had Just re-
ceived. 1t read as follows:
Dear Friend: Can't you take me out
boat riding this evening at s? l am
just dying to go out on the water.
Sincerely yours, BESSIE.
And the poor fellow will doubtless
blister his hands tonight rowing Bessie
over the ripping bosom of the Chauta-
qua. Just think of it. He was only in
troduced to Bessie last evening.
