to remain IN public life.'' On the same
occasion (if our memory serves US rioht)
another British statesman drew strong
picture before an audience of the t.rakes
progress" as exempli6ed in the descent
Of Hostler Joe Chamberlain from ultra
Radicalism to ultra orylsm. Such
political somersaults are more rare IN
this country than in England, and the
self-seeker who INDUCES in them is sure
to lose caste with all parties. An
English politician usually has one re-
course, however. By rafting to the
party IN power he has fair chance Of
receiving permanent and substantial
reward in the form Of title or sinecure
Alas for poor Hostler Joe, he has not
been awarded any such recompense as
vet tor the betrayal Of his friends AMI
the abandonment OF his principles.
His Tory patrons, it would seem, have
profited by his treason. and euchered
him out of his lawful dues. It will
bring little comfort to his soul (if he,
has one) to know that his disapDoint.
ment in this hope is largely owing to
the very people whose cause he betrayed
at critical moment. This resume of
Joe's history will no doubt interest
many of our readers vino are watching
the movements of our politicians on the
other side of the Atlantic. But to
return to our subject when Hostler
Joe came to this country some few
years ago to endeavor to settle the
fisheries question, it was understood
that in the event Of success he would 1
receive the usual reward Of all triumph
al diplomats patent of nobility from
his sovereign. He evidently overlooked
or moderated the fact that his political
apostacy had made him a peculiarly
odious parsonage in the eyes Of people
who sYmDathized, almost to man,
with the cause he had but recently
betrayed. His personality had pre-
JUDGED his case even before he had
time to present it. Americans were
prepared to djstrust any bargain pro-
posed by q tricky ana unprinclDled man.
Canadians, also. were disguised with
his avowed disregard Of their interests.
Only small clique Of Anglomanlacs
and fossil 'aristocrats" received him
cordially and furnished him with a set
of opinions on the Irish question which
he was imbecile enough to air in public,
even before his diplomatic mission was
ended. It ended, as we know, IN dis
NAL failure. The Fisheries Treaty was
rejected on Its merit, but had been
already damned on the reputation Of its
English sponsor. That was the end
also Of Joseph Chamberlain s hope Of
promotion for his diplomatic services.
His prestige has steadily declined even
in his own home. II MIR. Chamberlain
had really been inspired by love Of
country. If he had been even, q consis-
tent, honest partisan, he would not be
co npelled to retire from public life in
the prime Of his manhood. His mean
jealousy of Gladstone, combined with
his utter selishness, has been the cause
of his downfall. 70 such man the
game of patriotism is ''not worth the
CANDLE" Real patriots do not count
the cost OF the candle, and do count
the game worth playing, win or lose.

Canning Factory.

in the matter OF canned goods, vegetables.

city on Monday evening next to present to
the gardeners and farmers hereabou,s and
to the business men of this city the subject
of canning factory.
A meeting has been called of gentlemen to
meet Mr.. West at the Supervisors Room in
the Court House, and farmers and gardeners
are particularly requested to be present. In
another column is short article on Canned
Tomatoes, written by him, will be found in,
teresting in this connection,
The subject is one that will bear investigs
ton, especially as in Ottawa there are prob
ably five times as many professional garden
ers as in any other city Of It's size in the
State. Some 25 or 30 are engaged in the
business. 1t would be great help to them
if such factory were established, and its
influence would extend also further out into
the country. The creation of demand for
new (or practically new products is always
an advantage to city, and such a factory
would do that.
1t is hoped the attendance will be large
and be of representative business men and
particularly Of gardeners and farmers who
are directly and personally interested.

Everybody says "China Hall"
Aurora and La Sale have Games.

That little game known as "bucking the
tiger" seems to have homes in other cities
than this The tigers lair is found in every
jungle, and lie is bucked by the many wher-
ever he may hold forth. So it seems. The
aurora Express complains of Sunday game
that has done much to demoralize the good
deacons of the anti. German publication city
churches and caused full many pastor to
bemoan a scant collection. On last Sunday
evening there was a decided sensation at one
of the resorts, and the rumpus was caused by
lady who suspected her husbands plea of
having business on hand was not all that it
would seem on its face. She appeared in front
of the place and being satisfied, by hearing
familiar voice, that her husband was within,
called to him to come cut. He paid no atten
tion to her, but when she entered the place
and threatened to call in the police, he was
very meek and went away with her.
La Sale paper also remarks that they
have sports in the Imperial city who are "way
up in G,' hut although they play poker and
other games known to the "perfect," they
never get into trouble. The same paper also
chronicles a prize fight between two little
boys, who were lattered into mill by the
"sports,' and after bewaiing the fact that it
was allowed to 90 on, seems put out because
it was declared draw. The fight was long
and bloody, and decidedly disgraceful.

A Grand Fox Chase,

Tom NcDermott has been sharpening his
bugle and drilling his hounds for week
and says he expects to have them in trim in
about ten days more for the big fox hunt
on the flats about Chicago, announced for
the thirteenth. Ed Smith, of the Garden
City, was in town on Monday, and invited
all the fox chasers in the county to attend
and bring their dogs, Tom McDermott was
enthusiastic for the fray, and toot upon his
bugle brought forth answering toots from the
Milligans, the PARIS, Steve Hogan, Walter
Black kwell, Frank Shaver, Frank Robinson
Herb Highly, Sam Grove, Reubin Porter, and
other hound owners and fox chase experts,
who volunteered their dogs and accepted the
invitation with alacrity. They did more,
they agreed to furnish the fox, as the idea of
chasing an anise bag, proposed by Smith,
was little too tame to inspire the true
hunting spirit.
These gentlemen, with W. W. Taylor, Jay
Blodgett, VIM. Cary and Jim McQuade, will
depart IN special car. the evening before
the chase, and be on the ground in time to
blow the first bugle. Tom McDermott will
act as master OF the hounds,

"China Hall" Opera House block.

The Choral Union is becoming what ether
musical venturers IN this city sadly found
themselves to be in years agone-a thing of
slowly ebbing pulse and fast on the road
toward the inevitable road upon which such
crafts must ever end. The cause for this is
told in stage whisper on the outside of the
mystic circle of controli in about this language.
"The attendance at the meetings has been
steadily falling off for some time, until out of
a membership of eighty, but thirty-tive are
actually in attendance. The trouble is Just
this: many of the members are, or think they
are, good singers; the same old chestnut
choruses are kept up that we sang when we
first began in October; most of these good
singers know them by heart, or think they do q,
which amounts to the same thing in one way,
and think they could sing them just as well
six weeks ago as they can nov. On account
of the best singers not attending, those not
so good are dropping out and losing interest,"
in fact most of the absentees have lost interest
now" Wouldn't it act as a tonic on the
deinquents if Mr.. Harrison should change the
music and give the singers something new
All would much dislike to see the Union dis
solve, but unless something of the kind is
done it may do So

Something About Reddiok's Library


The drawing of books from Reddick' Is
Library is steadily increasing from month to
month, there having been taken out over two
thousand books during the month of January.
The number Of cards out is now one thous'
and and twenty five, over one hundred have
been issued during the mouth just passed
In the proceeding month there were added
about fifty standard novels in the German
language, and these, together with the Ger
man works already on hand, give the Ger.
man reading public about two hundred vol.
umes Of the best poets and writers of that
country.
That the library, during the short time it
has been established, has been of great value
as an educator, is being made more and more
apparent every day, Men talk of the great
works Of fiction and the great historians who
did not know that such works existed few
months ago, while young men and women,
with but little means to satisfy the craving
for more intimate acquaintance with liter.
ature, find the library an inexhaustible mine
from which may be drawn the material for
years Of useful study and mind training.
Instead of there being but one thousand
twenty i've cards out today. year hence
will find book from the library in every
home in this city. 1t should be made plain
to all that this field of study and amusement
is open to all who will but ask, without pay
and without incurrng obligation, other than

Then add another layer of muck and
trash until the pen is full, wetting each
layer with the liquor from the vat. 1t is
said that the liquor in the vat (about
seven barrels) will decompose ten tons
of green stuff. Continue to wet the COM

on it, having previously made holes into
it with long, sharp stick. In two weeks
the heap will be in condition for use.
If any bones are obtainable about the

greatest care. To utilize them, take a
light barrel and put into the bottom a
layer of unleached ashes, and on top of
this layer OF bones, and SO on until the
barrel is full, finishing off with a thick
layer of ashes. Then pour on liquor ma
