CANADIAN POLITICS.

A late Ottawa despatch says that
Sir Richard Cartwright, the foremost
English-speaking statesman OF the
Liberal party now in public life,
gave notice in Parliament that he
would move that the Queen be
asked to give Canada the power to
negotiate her own commercial
treaties. 1t is added as certain that
the Liberals will raise the banner of
unrestricted reciprocity with the
States early this session if the lead
ership of Hon. Wilfrid Laurier con
tinues. Laurier is a brilliant French
Canadian, who is the chosen Paria-
mentary leader of the whole Lib
eral party. On the other hand it is
stated that SIR John Macdonald, the
Conservative Premier, will dissolve
Parliament and appeal to the coun-
try at an early date, the statutory
term of the House of Commons hav
ing another year to run notwith,
standing. The chief issue will be
the maintenance or severance of the
present relations with the British
Empire and new relations with the
United States.

The Facts i'm the Case.

To the Editor of THE EVENING STAR:
About two weeks ago a STAR telegram told
how a Methodist lady died from paralysis
caused by the refusal OF an Episcopal minister
to administer to her the holy communion.
The following letter gives the facts. Please
insert in the STAR. Respectfully,
J. OWEN DORSEY.
From the southern Churchman o. llchnlond. Va
New WINDSOR, n. Y, November IA. 1889.
''MR. EDITOR: Your editorial in the issue Of
November prompts me TO make q statement
of the facts with reference to Mrs. Greenlng,
OF whom the telegram from Newburg speaks
as being refused the holy communion on the
ground of her being a Methodist
shortly after 1 became rector Of this parish
was asked by Mrs. Greening TO baptize her.
After her baptism (she being an invalid and
unable to 60 to church, l regularly admins
tered to her the holy communion each month
in her own home. This was followed for year.
"when q short time ago the bishop an
nounced his intention Of visiting the parish for
confirmation / notified Mrs. Greening that her
confirmation would be private, as her baptism
had been, in view Of her age and infrmlties.
To my great surprise 1 learned, few days
after, that she did not wish TO become an Epis-
copalian, preferrins to join the Methodiss
church.
Il called upon her to say that such decision
would remove me from being her spiritual
pastor, since il she were TO become q Methodist
the clergyman Of that church Gin Newburg)
would claim that right 1 was compelled TO
say to her that pending her admission into the
Methodist church it would not be consistent for
me to continue administering the communion
to her. Notwithstanding, / expressed my glad
willingness TO do if the Methodist minister
should wish me, and urged her to take imme-
diate steps 10 enter that church, that she
might soon again enjoy what had been OF such
comfort to her soul. Two days after she was
stricken with paralysis. The members Of the
family are indignant because Of the fabrication
and its notoriety, insisting also that her physi-
cal condition rendered her liable to pass away
at any time. When she died, in accordance
with the earnest wish OF the family she was
buried from St Thomas church, and closed
my minisrrations to her by reading the service
over her remains. Truly yours,
"kENNETH MACKENZIE, JR"
