this Fall, and it must look out for
breakers ahead. The Mail SAYS.

The Mail says. speaking of the
prospects of the Republicans carrying
the State:
Tue Democratic bosses may do the
job for them. 1t will be only neces.

which they have steadily pursued for
dozen years past, and which has
reduced a Democratic majority OF

thing will be effected. 1t may as
well be understood first as last that
the people will not tolerate any long.

Do the people of Garrett county
know that we have an experiment
station in this State, and that the
General Government proposes every
gear to appropriate fifteen thousand
dollars for the purpose ? Such sta
ton we have and the Director, Col.
Alvord, man of experience and
practical knowledge, expects to pay
US visit this season. The probable
tiles are that he will visit different
sections of the county and if desired
will lecture before the farmers of tn
different sections. Keep this in re-
membrance. and when Col. Alvord
comes among us we will turn out and
show that if Garrett was the last she
is not the least, and give him a well

"Gone Democratic"

old colored woman on the avenue.
She had belonged to his family before
the war. He chatted with her a

CANADIAN PAR LAMENT.
Protracted Debate on the Seizure
in Behring Sea.

/ in Behring Sea.
OTTAWA, April 26th.-In the Com
mons this evening Prior of Victoria
B. c., brought up the question Of
the seizure of Canadian vessels in
Behring Sea, and said he wished tc
impress upon the Government the
imperative necessity of bringing
matters to a speedy settlement. He
hoped Sir John Macdonald would
urge the Imperial Government to
settle the question once and for all,
and urged that be should cable the
Imperial authorities to order a gun
boat to protect British citizens in
Behring Sea. IL this were done he
ventured to predict there would be
no more complaints about the i'll
treatment of Canadian fishermen by
the United States.
Davies of Prince Edward Island
thought the conduct of the Amer
lean Government in the matter re-
prehensible, and urged their posi-
ton be strongly opposed by the
Canadian Government. He said the
Dominion should have an Embassa-
dor at Washington to deal with such
matters as this.
Sir John Macdonald said the
House should remember the question
was one which did not affect Canada
only. American vessels had been
seized as well as Canadians. Others
had been rendered bankrupt and
ruined by the seizures; many Amer
lean vessels had been abused by the
Alaska Commercial Company. The
question was one which affected the
whole world, which opposed the
claims of the American Government
to monopoly of these waters. 1t was
an imperial question, and when they
found England demonstrated strong
ly they might leave it to her: The
delay in negotiations is due to the
American Government and not to
England. He believed Sir Julian
Pauncefote, the new ambassador at
Washington, was peculiarly qualified
to deal with such a question, and
that Canada's interests were safe in
his hands.
The British Government had as
surred him of their belief that the
claims of Canada were just and those
of the United States unfounded. If
the American Government continued
to insist that the whole of this sea
was closed to the world it would lead
to serious complications, and he did
not want by a single word to add to
the calamitous consequences. Lord
Lansdowne, the ex-Governor-Gen-
eral, when he retired from office, had
taken the views of the Canadian
Government with him and laid them
before the British Government.
The great wrong Canada has suf-
fered at the hands of the United
States, he was sure, would impel the
Imperial Government to settle the
question, if not peacefully, then

HALLS SAFE & LOCK Co:
GENTs-Doubtless you are acquainted
with the facts of the recent fire which COM
pletely destroyed the business portion of
our town. We wish you could see the Safe
we just bought of you.
TWAS opened with difficulty, because the
outer sheets of both doors were badly
warped, and the bolts would not turn, but
the combination Is in perfect order, and by
using wrench we opened the bolts by the
Combination.
The inside doors, and cabinet work, and
everything inside is in perfect order.
1t is a pleasure to see the admiration ex-
pressed by everyone at seeing it in such
good order. We think every other Safe in
town was scorched inside, though all the
Hall Safes are in good condition. We are
satisfied it would be to your interest to
send a salesman down at once, as nothing
but Hall Safe will sell now
The outer doors of ours must be repaired,
and our Safe is again new The old one
which we sold stood it as well as before,
and better than many new ones. (This
was the third fire it has passed through).
