CANADIAN CABINET CHANGES.

Governor Dewdney to Succeed the Lato
 Thomas White-A Departmento of Trade.
 OTTAWA, Ont. June gl.-It is now settled fsct that Lieutenant Governor Dewdney. of the Northwest Territories, has been ap- pointed to succeed the late Thomas White as minister of the interior in Sir John Macdon- aids cabinet. As governor of the North west he is succeeded by MT. Royal, i member of Parliament, who was associated with Louis Riel in the Northwest rebellion of 1870; when General (now Sir GnrneD Wolseiey was sent up by the British Government to put down the instruction. Postmaster General Mcclellan, who has been appointed governor of Nova Scotia, will be succeeded by Hon. J. A. Chapleau, secretary of state. John White, of Renfrew, will shortly enter the cabinet to fill the position of secretary of state, vacated by Chapleau Now that the work of constructing the Canadian Pacific has been completed, Hon. J. H. Pope, who is in ill health, will shortly retire from the cabinet as minister of railways and canals, which department will again be merged into that of public works, with the present minister, Sir Hector Langevin, at the head.
 One of the most important changes shortly to take place is that of establishing depart ment of trade and commerce, which was pro vAue0 Aor Dy dcg Ok paTllauent lHSg SoooaoA It is the intention of the government in car rying out the act to abolish the departments of customs and inland revenues, placing all matters of trade connected with these de- partments under the new department of trade and commerce. while all matters of financial character will be placed under the control of the minister of finance
 A strong effort is making to bring Dalton Nc Carthy. one of the ablest members of the egal fraternity in the Dominion, into the cabinet, but so far without success. There are several other changes in contemplation, and it is quite evident that the next few weeks will witness a complete reorganization of Sir Johns cabinet

SIX LABORERS KILLED.
Fatal Railroad Collision at Cable Git
 Near Shamokin.

Fatal Railroad Collision at Cable City,
 Near Shamokin. SHAMoK1N, Pa., June 27.-A fatal accident occurred at Cable City, few miles north of here, on the Pennsylvania railroad, in which six laborers of Q gravel train were killed and five fatally injured. The hands of the gravel train escaped by jumping.
 A freight train from Sudbury, with more cars than it could place on one siding, was distributing the cars on several tracks, when the gravel train ran into it's rear end. The cars of the freight train mounted the gravel train and the laborers were crushed to death.
 Out of eleven laborers but one escaped un- injured. The bodies of four cannot be re- covered until the wreck is cleared. Medical aid was at once summoned from Shamokin, in the hope of saving the lives of the injured, but several died before the surgeons arrived.
 The names of the dead and injured cannot as yet be learned.
 The laborers saw their danger m time to escape, but were so badly frightened that they were unable to move. It is said that the 1agman of the freight train was not in position to flag the gravel train. The dead were brought here and the injured taken te the Miners hospital.

The Senate Passes tho Legislative, Execu-
 The House Discusses the Land Bill.
 WASHINGTON, June 27.-Mr. Plumb gave notice of an amendment to the sundry civil appropriation bill forbidding the purchase for national soldiers homes of products of convict labor, in the shape of material or supplies
 The senate took up the legislative, execp- tive and judicial appropriation bill The only question that created discussion was that relating to renting buildings in Wash ington for the use of the government, MT. Edmunds saying that it would be cheaper for the government to erect than to rent buildings. MT. Allison agreed with him, but said that the house prevented such action. After further discussion the bill was passed.
 A message was presented from the presi- dent vetoing the bill granting a pension to the widow of John Hurley Hurley, in en- deavoring to quell an affray between two fellow soldiers, was knocked overheard from a transport and drowned. The president does not think that Turley met his death in the performance of military duty. MT. Edmunds thought the man was clearly in the line of duty, and wanted to dispose of the bill now, but as there was no quorum present the senate without action, adjourned.
 The house resumed consideration of the public land bill An amendment was adopted allowing entrymen six months, in- stead of three, in which to erect habitable dwelling A long discussion ensued over an amendment reserving title in the govern ment to alternate strips of public land along water courses and the seashore MT. McAdoo favored it, and condemned the system of control over thousands of acres of lands by English sportsmen by securing access to the water. Mir. Herbert opposed the amend ment because it was not confined in it's operation to ard western lands. MT. Laird resented the appellation of thieves to cattle men and other western citizens The amend ment was rejected. Without action on the bill the house adjourned.

THE '.AMERICAN,, UPON THE FENCE.
 Our esteemed contemporary, the Ameri- can, does not come out honestly and fear lessly as to it's position in regard to the great presidential question, ,but judging from its utterances it is quite willing to re- turn to the ranks of the republicans. As to the nomination of Harrison and Morton it says:
 We do not see now why this ticket may not be supported by all who prefer the republican party in power to the democratic. The tariff issue and a clean campaign is the programme which this ticket, in opposition to Cleveland and Thurman, promises"
 Anyone who is familiar with the history of the American during the past ten years, kaows full we'll that it prefers the republi- can party in power to the democratic, ergo it will either support the regular republi- can nominations this fall or endeavor to cater to both parties. The following from last evenings American will interest demo crats, and show them just how they are rated by that skillfully managed sheet:
 ''The Chicago Tribune prophecies that every democratic procession this fall will carry banners stigmatizing the republican party as free whisky organization. We don't believe it, It would drive too many democrats into the republican ranAs,''

THE nomination of banker Levi P. Nor ton for vice-president was shrewd piece of political work, but it will prove fruit less nevertheless. MT Morton is banker worth perhaps ten millions, and will be expected to furnish poodle enough to cap ture the states of New York, Connecticut and New Jersey. But the bait will not prove tempting enough. The people have confidence in Cleveland and will stand by him.

THE EVILS OF PROTECTION.

THE EVILS OF PROIECIlON.
 One of the gigantic evils resulting from protection as explained by Prof A. l.. Perry of Williams college, is 'sthat the scheme compels the people to pay under times as much as the treasury ever receives in actual tariff taxes" The object of this kind of taxing is not at all to get money with which to pay the debts and provide for the common defense and general wei fare of the United States. The object is to lift the prices, artifcially to the people, of certain selected goods of domestic man ufacture Many of these tariff taxes are designedly put so high as to keep altogether out of the country the class of goods on which they are levied. In this case the treasury gets nothing in conse- quence of the taxes, but the people are compelled to pay in consequence of them, an enormous tribute to the monopolists. Others of these tariff taxes are designedly put so that some foreign goods come in under them and actually pay the taxes, and so much, of course, the gov ernment gets but the government does not get all that the people are made to pay in consequence of the taxes, because the object and effect of the taxes as ''pro- lection" is to keep out some foreign goods that would otherwise come in, and to- raise the price of corresponding home goods to the price of the foreign goods with the taxes added. It is impossible to tell ex- actly how much more the people pay under the tariff than the treasury gets; but it is certainly within the truth to say that they pay four times as much as the treasury gets from the tariff. MT J. s. Moore of New York, one of the best statisticians the country can boast, has said that they pay five times as much as the government gets. On the average of the past few years, the tariff yields about $200, 0,000,000 a year. Yes, and the people pay, on the average, besides that, $500, ,OO0, 900 more, under the tariff alone, to cunning, grasping monopo- lists. -s. -s. ..-..- ..... -

DEMOCRACY and BALLOT REFORM.

"To insist that the ballots to be used in
public elections should be printed by the State
is one thing; to assert that the Saxton Electoral
Reform bill was n wise and expedient piece
Of legislation is quite anOtherD So remarks
" The Sun" in its endeayor to pull David b.
Hill out Of the hole in which his veto of the
Saxton bill left him and his party.
But the Democratic party has not taken its
stand with those holding that the ballots to be
used in public elections should be printed by
the State. Neither has Governor Hill That
was the gist Of the Saxton bill, but the Demo
cratic State Convention of last May adopted
a resolution condemning the bill, giSt and all
Here is the resolution which the Platform Com
mttee reported, and which was adopted with
out a dissenting vote
Resolved That the so-callcd saxton Electoral Re
form bill, passed by the Legislature and now In the
hands OF the Governor for executive act on Is par
tsan subversive Of Democratic principles
destructive Of the secrecy Of the ballot encaclous TO
promote fraud and corruption opposing needless and
useless obstacles to the sufragcs Of tho busy and
hard working voter intended the first blow at uni
versal suffrage Of citizens by DISTINGUISHING the un-
learned elector and introducing nt6 simple sys-
TEN of elections method which may be necessary nm
der the rule OF the British Empire but IS not desirable
among this free people.
1t Will be seen that this is nothing, If not
sweeping condemnation. The bill commended
itself to the members of the United Labor
party, because it opened the door to political
preferment to the poor man. Let the State
pay for printing and distributing ballots, and
the poor man could afford, as he cannot at
present in many districts to run for office.
But this consideration was lost on the Demo
cratic legislators, on Governor Hill and on the
Democratic State Convention The Saxton
bill did not commend itself to the Democratic
bosses, since It was calculated to interfere with
their manipulation Of the votes Hence the
advantage which it would prove to such men
Us those to be found in the ranks Of United
Labor was disregarded. The Democratic party
is always Dragging about its love for the work
ingman, but is ever ready to sacrifice him to a
Democratic boss.
The adverse votes Of the Democratic law
makers, Governor Hills veto and the resolu-
ton Of the Democratic State Convention are
Of a piece. They prove what has frequently
been proved before that the Democratic party
cannot be depended upon to promote ballot re-
form. The three blunders mentioned will cost
that party thousands Of votes at the next cleo
ton. The passage Of the Saxton bill was de-
