COMMERCIAL UNION.
Most Intelligent Canadians Said to be En-.
thusiastic AdyOcates


thusiastic Advocates.
TORONTO, ONT, Jan. 5.-The following is
a special to the Mail: The Pail Mall Ga
zette's travelling commissioner, writing
from Toronto, says: Commercial union is
the coming question for Canada. 1t is
talked about everywhere and is question
which will split the Canadian parties and
will determine the whole relationship be-
tween Canada and the United States for
years to come and affect to great if not
vital degree the Anglo-Saxon race upon
the globe. Both the Globe and Mail of
Toronto, the first being a liberal organ
and tine second recently converted from
conservatism to independence, vie with
each other in the strength of their support
My own experience is that outside of Of
tawa, which is the center of ministerial
ism, three out OF five of the most intelligent
men | have met are enthusiastic com
mercial unionists."

NEW YORK, Jan. 5.-The fair plaintiff in
the 100000 breach of promise suit of Miss
Clara Campbell against Charles Arbuckle,
the wealthy merchant, took the stand
again this morning. When ex-Judge Full

she moved about in restless manner.
Tears coursed down her cheeks as her
counsel read appeal after appeal she had
written to her lover beseeching him TO

MI. Arbuckle never told her that anything

Der that Mr.. Arbuckle had sent her a letter
sstat1lng that owing to the condition of his
health he could not marry her or anv other
woman. She believed he said he had ma
larla and bronchial troubles, but she did
not believe he knew what was the matter
with him.
After recess Miss Campbell resumed the

Teller an opportunity to speak.
MIR. TELLER's REPLY.
HIS OBJECTIONS EXPLAINED.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 4.-Mr. Teller spoke
briefly in reply to Voorhees, criticisms of
his former statements. He said that there
had frequently been greater accumula-
tions Of surplus in the treasury than when
the president sent in his message and that
the assumption that the present condition
Of affairs was a threat against the coun-
try's prosperit y was not based upon an
honest conviction. He denied that the
people were suffering under the burdens
of taxation or were crying for relief.

4 BARB WIRE CASE.
The Glidden Patent Nullifed-No More

The Glidden Patent Nullified-No More
Royalty.
DUBUQUE, La, Jan. 5.-Judge Shiras to-
day rendered a decision in the case of
Washburn & Moen VS.. the BEAT 'em Alp
Barbed Wire company Of Cedar Falls. The
findings are that Alvin Morely invented the
same style of barbs covered by the Glidden
patents and exhibited sample OF fence at
county fair in Delaware county in 1859.
The decision nullifies the Glidden barb
wire patents for want of novelty. The evil
dence is plain and the case cannot be re-
yersed in the United States supreme court.
Relying on this decision all the barbed
wire manufacturers will cease paying roy
alties to the Washburn & Moen monopoly.

sHERMAN'S SPEECH.
THE MESSAGE CRITICISED.

d
I WASHINGTON, Jan. 4.-When the senate
assembled to-day unanimous consent was
Sgiven for the introduction of bills. Sena-
or Sherman then took the floor and began
A1is speech on the presidents message. He
laid: sThe president, departing from the
practice of his illustrious predecessors,
kdropped from his recent annual message
all reference to the foreign relations of the
country and interesting questions in ma
(tional affairs, even omitting the usual rec
Eognition of the Supreme Ruler of the uni
iverse and postponing all things celestial
land terrestrial until the surplus revenue
Shall be got rid Of. The existence of a
|currence before and since the close of the
\war. Instead of being danger, it is an
indication of the continuous increase of
lhe domestic productions OF the country
land its foreign and domestic commerce
land of the steady improvement OF it's
I financial condition." OF this assertion he
Igave instances in the administrations Of
Jefferson and Jackson. 'sIf the president
regards this growing surplus as a danger,
|. why did he not as soon as possible bring
his influence to bear upon congress to pro-
| vide for areductiOn of taxation and why
fdid not congress apply remedy? If it
had been the desire to reduce taxes with
but reducing American production, the
TASK was easy. But the enormous powers
iof the speaker of the house were used to
prevent the presentation of such bill. In
this the speaker had, it was understood,
lthe hearty sympathy and support of the
lIpresident and secretary of the treasury.
The president had on what he (Sherman)
regarded as q frivolous reason refused his
(signature to the river and harbOr bill
(which would have appropriated more than
= 5hS10,OOO,OOO for necessary public works, and
NV his veto of the
DEPENDENT PENSION BILL
\ f.e had withheld from union soldiers ap-
{)rOpriations made for their relief. The
house had refused to provide for system
l:of coast denfenses, for a proper increase
l7lnd building of the navy and of the COM
lmercial marine for postal communication
alwith the, South American states. The
},resident had cast doubt upon the power
y If the secretary of the treasury to enter
LOT it as q "pretence or a supposition." But
Il he second section Of the sundry civil bill
HMarch 8, 1881, gave the secretary of the
Stfeasury power at any time to apply the
isurplus or so much of it as he might con-
1sider proper to the purchase or redemption
sOf United States bonds. If evil Gomez to the

AN ARTIFICIAL SCARE
could not be made to cover the faults and
defects of the administration. Senator

presidents message with regard to internal
y \|evenue taxation and said the traditions

tobacco especially should be remitted.
