We desire especially TO call attention to the
use Of
GAS STOVES

for heating and cooking purposes; they are
comparatively inexpensive, can be lighted or
in a moment. and can generally
be located in any part OF room by flexible
tubing, and without cutting or defacing walls;
they are very suitable for rooms not supplied
with sufficient heat. for bath rooms. sewing
rooms, etc, etc. The low price Of gas in this
city. viz: l.25 per .iel feet. net T prnmntly

Mr.. Bright has been throughout hi
whole career q consistent advocate of t.,
cause Of peace. Ills principles, as Il
member OF the Society 81 lrienGs. arc
opposed TO all wars Of aggression, and
he holds that it is q violation of the
moral law To draw the sword except as a
defensive weapon. Acting on these prin-
clples he resi- gncd Office in Mr. Glad
stones government, i'll 1882, on account
Of tho bombarlment 0f the forts Of Alex
andriab BIZ tho English llcet. AS spoke and
voted in the house on his side Of the
question, had some conversation with
him about ii at the time, and lie took
pains 10 explain 20 me, in cxtenuatiOn of
Dir. Gladstonea action on that occasion.
that Dir. Gladstone supported him in the
cabinet as long as he could do So without
destroying the government, and that he
yielded only when he had to choose be-
tween sanctioning some form Of military
operations in Egypt and the breaking up
of his ministry. which would have meant
the return Of the Tories to power and q
still more active prosecution Of hostilities
by them, against the Egyptian National
party.
His attitude on the home rule ques-
ton marks rather the change which has
come over MIR. Gladstone and the bulk
Of the Liberal party than any change in
Mr.. Bright, for since the demand for
home rule was first made, in its modern
form, by the late Mr.. Butt, he has been
its avowed opponent. He was foremost
in pointing out the wrongs Of Ireland be-
foro even Mr.. Gladstone gave any atten-
ton to that country, and he Yves the
champion Of Irish rights when Mr.. Per-
nell and his colleagues were in svaddling
clothes; but he always held that those
wrongs might he redressed and those
rights vindicated in the parliament Of
the United Kingdom.

The most strikingsentencesin the speech
delivered by Prince Bismarck in the Ger
man Reichstag on Monday last we're these:
''The warlike tendencies OF France and
Russia drive us 10 defense; the pike in
France and Russia compel lis TO become
carp. We are better able than any other
nation 10 offer strong resistance TO our
foes" IIo could not have inude his pur-
pose Of war palmer than In these words,
which, reinforced by these Others, have an
unmislakablc meaning "Thc strength we
possess will rcassure public opinion and
the nervousness OF the bourses and the
press Our task now is TO strengthen this
strength. We must, OF course, have the
best OF weapons for the fathers OF families
who will have 10 serve under the present
bills, with the aid OF which we shall be
able 10 place n million good soldiers on
each OF our frontiers. Behind them stand
our reserves" This conscious strength
makes him feel rs master OF the situation, for
lac knows that no other nation can put 70
many men in tho field. 1--WE have" he
continues, in his boastlul spirit, "the
material not only Tor forming an enormous
army, but for furnishing II with officers.
We have n corps Of officers such as no
other power has. When we undertake a
war Il must be peoples war, which all
approve, rs in 1870. II we are attacked
then the Juror 7adoDious will fame ont.
No one can make headway against that"
And, continuing in the same vein, he
hopes Germhnymay "rcmain at peace with
our neighbors, especially with Russia,
which has no pretext for war. Tho spy
affairs with France are not worth consider
ing. No one begins war Tor trihes. In
such cases n sensible man gives way. We
have endcayored 10 maintain our old rela-
tons with Russia, but we do not run after
anybody" lie Is ready for war, IN con-
scious OF his strength and ability to cope
with both France and Russia and will
not step out Of his way TO conciliate
them. And with this declaration
he procldms with the authority Of one
possessed OF supreme power by the viii Of
the nation; 1--WE Germans fear God, and
nothing else in tho world. The fear Of
God makes us wish TO fostor peace. lie
who breaks the peace will arrive at the
conviction that the warlike and cxultani
love Of the Faihcrland, such IA summoned
the whole population Of Prussia to arms
in 1918, is the common possession Of the
entire German nation; and he who attacks

ONE LAW FOR THE RICH AND
ANOTHER FOR THE POOR.

The Republican members Of the House
Committee ON Ways and Means are prepar-
ing surprise for the country when they
present their minority report on the tariff
on the 10th inst. They PROPOSE, as The
N,w York Hcraids Washington correspond
cnt tolls us, TO reform II by not cutting
down duties, but by raising them. They
propose TO raise the duty on the poor
mans blanket, which cost 90 cents per
pound, from "a per cent. TO l20 "The rich
mans fine blanket, costing 95 cents, how
ever, has no such raise. II pays 70 per
cent. now, and is put at 90 per cent. The
poor mans cloth, costing GA cents per
pound and now paying 30 per cent.-sure-
ly that Is high enough-is put up to 1913
per cent. But the rich mans cloth, cost
ing Slips, is to pay only 81 per cent The
poor mans flannel, which he and his wife
and his children use for undershirts, skirts,
etc, costing 40 cents per pound, and now
paying 6S per cent. is raised 10 i22 per
con.t-noarly double, that is TO say But
the fine flannel worn by the rich, and
costing 90 cents. is 10 pay only l0S per
cent The poor mans stockings and knit
underwear, costing 81 cents pound,
and now paying 90 per cent, are raised TO
100 per cent. But the rich mans fine knit
goods, costing sl.l2 pound, or nearly
three times rs much rs the poor mans,
are 10 pay only SO per cent. The poor
woman's shawl. costing 65 cents per
pound, is to pay 1876 per cent, while her
rich neighbours shawl, costing sl.50 per
pound. is TO pay only 81 per cent The
poor mans hat, costing AZ cents per pound,
and now paying 73per cent, is to pay lS5
per cent. whilo the rich mans hat, cost
ing $l.s5 a pound. is to pay only 20 per
cent" And this is the way that protection
protects the workingman.
