CANADIAN CRISIS.
The French Government Making Very
Pertinent Inquiries.


OTTAWA (Ont), December 13th.-The
French Government, it is understood has
determined on looking into the question
fully as to how far the terms by which
Canada was ceded to Great Britain by
France have been carried out, and whether
there has been any Infringement upon the
concessions made to the French-speaking
population of Canada at the time the treaty
was signed.
In view of the possible intervention of
France Lord Salisbury has requested full
information, setting forth the questions in
dispute between the Dominion Govern
ment and the French Canadian people, and
what measures have been taken to adjust
them. The political atmosphere of Canada
is anything but reassuring. and an open
rupture between the two nationalities is not
beyond the range of possibility.
Dalton Mccarthy, Member of Parliament,
the nominal leader of the EQUAL Rights
party, addressed large audience under the
auspices of the Equal Rights Association
tonight. He declared that the solution OF
the political differences which beset the
Dominion rested with the English-speak-
ing people. While claiming absolute free
dom of religion for all, he would deny to
any sect the power to intrude itself on the
sphere of civil power.
On this point alone the Equal Rights sup
porters differed from the Catholics, who, he
regretfully observed, were ranging them
selves on the opposite side for an inevitable
struggle Once and for all it must be un-
derstood that the present difficulties would
| never be settled BY annexation. Separate
schools and dual languages must go.

Russia and Austria.
| ST. PETERSBURG, December 13th.-The

Jack, the Ripper, Again.
LONDON, December 13th.-The body of a
woman has been found among the ballast

Put Up or shut I'm.

We are authorized by well known
and responsible citizen of this town
to say that he is ready at any mo-
ment to become one of fifteen to put
up $4,000 town hall.
A site has been offered that will
not cost a penny, and $4,000 will put
up a hall that will, in every respect
be adequate for this town.
Here now is definite proposition
Two hundred dollars is waiting as a
nest-egg for this long talked of town
hall.
There ought to be fourteen other
men in this town who will put 5000
into this enterprise. 1t is a first
class Investment. 1t will net ten pei
cent per annum. 1t is marketable
stock. 1t can be turned into money
at par any day after it is demonstra
ted that it will pay.
Now if any man wants to trump
this card let him call on Mr.. S. D.
Hirschman and cover his 5000. II
there is ready response the hall
can be in use during the present
winter.

practically abandoned the old sour

Now, every house ought to have q

carry this off speedily. They would
always be clean if well paved, and
a drain that is not paved is not fiji
for town-it does not answer the
purpose of a country road unless il

1t will not be an expensive under
taking to give the town good sur
face drainage, and this ought to be
done before warm weather is on us

We Are Getssnk rhere slewIv.
The subject Of free bridge across
the Monongahela is again looming
up.
We supposed it would.
The people Of the West Side had
to wear cut their spite against the
bridge before they would consider
the matter of putting any money in
it.
This was not business, but it was
--spite-and that kind Of thing is
sometimes sweet to the average
man.
The propriety and the good poll
cy, and the immense benefits that
would accrue to the county, have al
ways been as apparent as they are
now, but some men could not see
them.
When the New DOMINION urged
and argued with our people, some
time ago, for the purchase of this
bridge, they turned deaf ear, and
even declared that they would swim
the river first. Well, there are some,
no doubt, who still prefer to swim
the river rather than that any OF
their money should go to the pur-
chase of the bridge. Nevertheless
their money is going into the bridge
in the shape of tolls from year to
year, and when they have thus in
vested enough to pay for the bridge
they will still not have free bridge
There is no worse embargo upon
the business of the county than this
bridge unless it be the public road
leading from it down the river. The
one is necessarily impossible and
the other voluntarily SO.
There are two things which are
necessary to unite the lower end Of
the West Side with the balance Of
the county, we ought to have them
The one is free bridge, and the
other is hard road following the
bank of the river from the suspen-
sion bridge to Collins ferry.
There is no valid reason why We
should not have both of them, and
they will come when our people gel
their eyes open; but then, they will
probably "come high"

GEN. GEO. W. BROWN.


Gen. George w. Brown died at his
home at Grafton Saturday Nov. 30,
at A o'clock A. M. He had been a
very sick man for several days, but
his many friends were not ready to
receive the sad news of his death.
Gen. Brown was born May 10, 1889,
at Kingwood, w. Va, was student
at Washington College, Pennsyl
vania. and lat the age of twenty
two began his public service as depu

tered the Quartermaster's Depart
ment at Clarksburg which position
he held during the war. About 1865
he received the appointment of Quar-
termasier-General, and upon the
death of Gen. Pierpoint succeeded
him as Adjutant- General. He was
appointed Collector of Internal Rev
enue by President johnson, and fill
ed the position for twelve years.
When he became Collector he located
at G ration, where he has since re-
sided, and during which time he has
filled may positions of trust, such as
Mayor and Justice several terms.
He was one of our most prominent
citizens has many friends here and
all over the State who will regret to
hear of his death.
General Brown leaves widow and
two children to mourn his loss. Mrs.
Brown is the sister of Mrs. N. +.
Whitaker, of Wheeling. He was a
brother of Mrs. Jno. A. Ollie and
Mrs. Jos. Moreland, of Morgantown,
and his aged mother now resides at
the home of the latter. The funeral
took place from his late residence at
Grafton on Monday afternoon at 2
o'clock, and we're followed to their
last resting place by a large con-
course of sympathizing and mourn
ing friends.

for the extra session of the Legisla-
ture, although there are few gener-
al matters to which he desires to in
vite the attention of the Legislature,
and these he will include in his call.
1t is believed, however, that to men
ton all the local matters brought to
his attention will result in. some of
the more general topics being lost
sight OF, and he does not feel dispos-
ed to make a selection of the local
matters brought to his notice.

1t is a noteworthy fact that even
the most rabid Republican papers
frequently allude to Judge Fleming
as an honorable, high toned gentle
man whose only fault consists of
weak ness in following the behests of
his party leaders. They appreciate
his sterling character and express
belief that he will be unwilling to
accept the Gubernatorial Office if it
comes to him tainted with any sort
of fraud or corruption. Thus far
they are right. Judge Fleming is
man of delicate conscience and
high conception OF public and pri-
vate honesty which would not per
nit him to take an office to which
he believed he was not truly elected !;
and it is this characteristic of
the man which marks the diff
ference between him and the
late Republican candidate for Gov
ernor, Gen. Golf. During all the dis
cussions growing out of this contest,
not single doubt of COTS accept
ance on any terms has ever been ex-
pressed from any source. 1t in I'M
derstood by friends and foes alike
that he has been and il now willing
to resort to any means, however I'M
fair or dishonest, to obtain the Office
That he would take it promptly and
gladly though it came to him dim
ned with the charges of proved cor
ruption and bribery, no one who
knows the man doubt for a moment.
His friends highest hopes of his
ultimate success lave been largely
based upon his supposed willingness
to buy Democrat. votes in the Leg
islature, and not upon the justice of
his claims. They hope he may win
because his peculiar methods have
heretofore proved successful and it
is to their credit that they claim for
him none of the political virtues
which they so cheerfully concede to
