Il Resolution by Canadian Statesmans
Fayoring Closer Trade Relations with
the United states, Defeated In Parlia.
ment.
OTTAWA, Ont, March O-1n Parliament
at 30 q. IN Sir Richard Cartwright's reso-
luton in favor of closer trade relations
with the United States was defeated by .
vote Of yeas, "a; nays III. During
the debate Mr. Cockburn, OF To-
ronto. who is opposed to COM
mercial union, instituted compart-
sons to show that the various Provinces
Of Canada are enjoying greater prosperity
than the various States of the Union He
said the decline In land values in New
York State from 1870 to 1880 was $780,
100000, while Ontario in the same
period experienced an increase OF
sec, 10000. He asserted that three
quarters of the number of farms in New
York State were mortgaged. Americas
alleged aristocracy, he said, lived only for
DOODLE" and he had nothing kind to say
about the plutocracy. All the Americans
wanted was to get the trade Of
Canada and to give nothing In re
turn. II Canada, as the opposition contend
ed. really wanted closer trade relations, IL
would be better to look back to l177. when
the United States made her offer, which
still holds good. This offer was m invita-
tion to Canada to become a portion of the
American Union on the same terms rs the
States forming the Union Then the resolu-
tions of Congressman Hit were indorsed
by the Canadian Liberals, who pretended to
want only unrestricted reciprocity. Tho
resolutions declared for commercial union,
and this meant political union, and the
Liberals could not deny it. Commercial
union would abolish the custom houses and
discriminate against England in return for
her sacrifices in favor OF Canada. Continu-
ing amid interruptions, he ho.d up an
American political cartoon in which the
American flag trlumphantly waved over the
union jack and the forms Of PROSTATE
tradesmen. He called on the Liberals to
alter their course ii they were loyalsublecta
and desired to live under the folds OF the
union jack. The Monroe doctrine, he said,
would never be realized in America The
American Union could not enter into unre-
stricted reciprocity with Canada, because ii
she did it would be o violation Of treaties
with other nations. Canada was not for
sale, and, come what will, she would work
out her own destiny.
Mr. Davies, Liberal, pictured the de-
plorable condition Canada was in as
a result Of the reckless extravaganza ol
the present Government. Thousands oi
emigrants became disgusted and had
crossed over to settle in thu United
States The enormous taxation and
high duties disheartened them. coupled
with the fact that the most valuable land In
the Northwest had been grabbed up by
boodlers and land sharks, leaving only such
as these spectators might reject fol
actual settlement There was not ar
industry in the dominion which was not
suffering depression which would not be
improved by unrestricted reciprocity with
the United States. 1t was the imperative
duty of the Government TO endeayer tt
make terms with the United States fol
closer commercial relations.

ut OF money,

stated the three, bling out OF money,
neither of them having the disposition TO
work started out with the determination OF
robbing the first person who presented Q
favorable opportunity. They went to Q
secluded part OF the city. placed some
obstructions upon the street car tracks tor
the purpose Of derailing car and in the
confusion that would cnsue secure the
cash box. The first car was thrown on the
track but the driver escaped. Tollefson's
car came next, and was derailed. The
Barrett boys came from concealmcnt AMI
demanded the cash box. The delivery of
1t was refused. and in moment after
Tellefson was shot deal and the Barrett
boys escaped q the darkness with the cash
box which contained so in cash and
car tickets For months the officers and
detectives worked increasingly and un-
successfully for clue. Reddy Barrett
who had been running q saloon without a
license was placed in Jail. He became
angry at his brothers for not hcluing him
and at the same time fearful that Tim
would be arrested for some OF his many
crimes and the facts leak out called in
the county attorney and made confess
ion duplicating all three, throwing the onus
upon his two brothers. He told where the
cash box had been buried and where the
cash envelopes had been hidden. Upon
this the state worke np corroborate evi-
dence that resulted in the con-
vict m of Tim and Fete Reddy was re-
leased. The history Of the Barrett boys
is one of crime from their youth to the
end. While Reddy, run his 'blind Pig" q
the outskirts of the city, the boys were
content with robbing drunken men, and
occasionally women and school children.
The closing Of the saloon threw them
unon the streets. The execution passed
on quictl~ and without dem nnstration.

POINTS ABOUT PLANTS.

PLANTS that have been out of doors
through the summer need q gradual change
to confined rooms and heated air.
In window gardening 1T should be re-
membered that we havc all degrees OF
temperature Mt command, from freezing to
torrld. Shelves or brackets at different
heights should be provided to meet the re-
quirements of heat needed by different
plants. .
MosT plants will do well in west windows
II the conditions are right for them, but
north windows are not favorable for the
growth of ordinary house plants. Ferns
and many kinds Of plants cultivated for
their foliage will, however, succeed in north
windows.
In your flower beds out of doors you frc.
Quently hoe aud stir tho soil; don't neglect
it after the plants are potted and in winter
quarters. Stir the soil with fork or other
small instrument; never allow it to bake on
top. Keep it well loosencd, SO that the
water may readily go to the roots.
STUDY your plants. Notice their drinking
habits. You will soon find out which needs
the most water. You will find they will take
but very little il the day is dark; if it is
pleasant they will require more Especially
the first part of winter is this noticeable.
The DAYS are short and often cloudy. The
plants have not filled the pots with roots,
therefore 1t is better to be on the safe side
and net give too much water.

HONEST SAM WELLER.
Dickens Most Popular Character Not
Any Means an Original.

OtCkens' Most Popular Character NOT ~
Amy Means nm Original.
The ever popular Sam Weller, it has
been said, is not an original, and there
can be no doubt that there was a pop
ular actor tempore Pickwick, named
Sam Vale. who performed one Simon
Splatterdash. All his speeches were
larded with the illustrations that the
Pickwickian servant was SO partial to.
.Come on. as the man said to the right
boot" etc., was a specimen. The
similitude Of the two names is curious.
Later Dickens was intimate with a
family of the name Of Weller. one Of
whom became the mother OF Miss
Thompson, the artist. The name is
particularly associated with Dorking,
where, it will be recollected, was Mr..
Weller. Sr.'s inn, 1.-The Marks of
CRANKY" On recent visit we noticed
the name Of Weller on several houses,
as also that OF Sawyer. The town is
full OF inns, and visitors are sure to
note those old. crusted, full-lavored
hostelries, the white Horse" and the
Red Lion" with another opposite, all
three still claiming to be the one
figured in the story. But the Weller
inn is described as having its sign on
the opposite side Of the road, which
proves it could not have been IN the
main street, where there are houses on
both sides, and. indeed, it is plain that
Mr.. Weller's house had not the preten-
sions OF the ''White Horse or Red
Lion" A few hundred yards out OF
town, on the London road, there is
found a roadside inn, which our author
had probably in his eye. The scene
where Sam is writing his valentine un.
der the easy criticism Of his father
suggests the well-known one Of The
Rivals. where Acres is writing his
challenge. Actors always introduce
gag" which they may nave bor'
row.d from Mr.. Weller; addressing
the same lady, being maloproposed
into undressing. We have the same
idea in Sans letter. Il feel myself
ashamed, and completely circum
scribed in a dressin' OF you SANS
curious story of the patient who ''bleM
his head off by eating crumpets was !
grotesque variation Of one related il
Boswells johnson, where the patien
| fancied ..buttered mullins" A careful
study of this admirably drawn char
acter will show that at the opening the
author had not quite grasped its capa
bilities. 1t was only after two or thre.
numbers progress that he had foun(
himself developing his happy varieties
OF humor and illustration, whicl
ripened as he won't along. -Cornhil

Compulsory Education in England.

In a school dislrlct in London there
were many parents who reported no
children in their families. In order to
find just how many children were thus
being kept from school, the schoo.
authorities got two monkeys dressed
them gayly, put them in a wagon in
which was brass band, and started
through the district. At once crowds
OF children appeared and followed the
wagon; which drove to neighboring
park, when the school officers went
among the children distributing candies
and getting their names and addresses
They thus found that over sixty parents
kept their children from schools; and as
a result of the monkeys, the brass band
and the candy. about two hundred
little boys and girls have been set at
study.-Journal Of Education.
