A parliament scandal is about to be ex-
posed in Canada. 1t Is said that charges
will be regularly made on the floor of the
Canadian House of Commons and will be
backed by documentary and other evidence
of the most conclusive character, attacking
the members for Quebec and others in high
places, including several members of tho
government. The burden of the charges is
that the accused have beer and are still
silent partners in the public contract known
as the Quebec harbor works, and nave
regularly shared in the profits. Between
American defaulters and dishonest home
officials the Canadian youth will have to
learn the beauties of integrity mainly by

The Hon. Ben Butterworth, of Ohio,
who is about the best of The republican
leaders in congress, proposes to make a rep
utation for himself in fighting the bulls and
bears He wants to stop gambling in food
products, and he has bill to prevent deal
ing in futures. His bill taxes future deal
ers heavily, so heavily that he thinks it will
drive their business out Of existence. he
declares that ''option gambling or dealing
in futures has no higher moral quality than
ordinary gambling and it is vastly more
disastrous to the well-belng Of the pc Jple,
especially the farmer class The law OF
supply and demand should govern the mar
ket price of staples. but it has no influence
on the option dealers. The man who sells
hundreds of thousands of bushels of wheat,
although he does not possess a bushel, af-
fects the market. For every bushel Of
grain grown 100 are sold, and that the
etfecT is to lower the market price. -
No doubt bold Ben's bill is good one, but
the cotton farmers will hardly agree with
him that the future business always de-
presses prices. That business kept up the
prices of cotton this year.

$4,000 for Reniamin-

A private bill for a claim of 50. 500
against the government that is attracting
some attention was passed by the Senate
the other day. There was no objection
made to it, for the reason, doubtless. that
one of tine benefciaries of the claim is Presi-
dent Harrison. The history of this claim is
rather interesting Fifteen years ago
Gen. Harrison was member of
the law firm of Harrison, Porter
& Fishback, at indianapolis, Ind.
Near the close of the war Gen. Hovey con-
vened military commission to try certain
members of an organization known as
knights of the Golden Circle. One of the
persons convicted by the commission was
Lamden P. Milligan. A number of years
after his conviction he brought suit
against Gen. Hovey, who was
then governor of Indiana. and the
members of the commission. A motion was
made to transfer the case to the United
States courts, which was denied. An appeal
was taken to the state supreme court, and
the firm of Porter, Harrison & Fishback
wat employed by the state to defend the
commission. That firm filed a brief to
show that the motion to transfer the case
to the United States court ought to have
been granted. The brief covered about
fourteen pages Of legal-cap paper, and the
firm was paid $500 by the state of Indiana
for its services. 1t does not appear that the
firm was ever employed by &e United
States in that case
In 1881, when Gen. Harrison took his seat
in the Senate, a bill was introduced into
that body by Senator Voorhees, to pay
Porter. Harrison g. Fishback $4,000 for
services in that case. The bill has been re-
ported upon favorably by at least one
| committee of congress, and CONDEMNED by
| other committees. For eight years it has
been lingering along in one congress and
another, but Gen. Harrison has persisteutly
| insisted upon the payment of his claim.
| Now that there is congress- that seems
| disposed to favor his little bill the proba-
bility is that he will get the $4,000 which
| he has been waiting for so long.
Would it not be advisable for the House
to inquire carefully into the merits of this
bill when it has the opportunity to do 500
| The fact that tho President is Interested in
| it should not be sufficient reason for pass
ing it. If the bill were a Just one it would
seem as il it would have been passed long
| ago. Doubtless the President thinks his
claim ought to be paid, and so do the thou
sand and one other claimants who have
bills before congress think they ought to be
| paid. No greater consideration, however.
should be shown the President than is
| shown TO any other claimant.

CHAPTER Nv.

Mr.. Dunstan was at the Australian
golddiggings,-nOt digging for gold him
self, but watching those who were. He
was man who had passion for travel
ing,-a robust, healthy, active man,
with too much energy in him to find
the placid life of WreXham quite salts
flying to either his mental or material
nature. II do wish that Guy would
marry and settle down." his sister had
been saying for many past year. But
Mr.. Dunstan was forty years old now,
and had never yet shown any intention
of doing either the one thing or the
other. He was not fond of settling
down; he was not inclined to wife TAX
ing. He seemed to be cOntented with
the womenkind he always had at home:
his sister to take care of him, his nieces
to pet or tease him,-what more than
that should a man want? my dear,
you would be so much happier if you
were to marry" Miss DunStan would
often say to him with tender solicitude,
but her brother never appeared able to
see the matter in this light. II should
get good many burdens upon my
shoulders that haven't got nOw," he
would coolly answer,-"and gain no
particular advantages that can con-
ceive. l might marry as penanCe, be-
cause my life without wife is too easy
a one; but the longer live the less do
think am likely to do it as pleas
ure." And then, after some such
speech as this, Mr.. Dunstan would
chuckle to himself in way that denot-
ed supreme satisfaction with his own
way of life, and Aunt Susan would sigh
and shake her gentle head. II don't
know where you learnt this sort of talk,
Guy" she would sometimes say, you
never learnt any of it, l am sure, from
me-" Which was an assertion that her
brother certainly never attempted to
dispute.
AS for the two girls-Mr. Dunstan's
being at home was always pleasant
thing to them. Unwilling to take a wife
though he was, he was man who liked
to have women round him, indeed
would hardly have endured house
without a woman in it. He was fond of
his nieces, Whose home had been at
WreXham now for the last half dozen
years., much in the same sort OF way
that he might have been fond of pair
of spoilt pet kittens whom he passively
permitted to plague him and impose
upon him almost without limit for
nine-tenths of the time they spent to-
gether; but over whom, on the rare oc-
casions when he chose to exert it, he
exercised an authority that Gabrielle
herself never disputed. Nor ever re-
sented,-which was perhaps saying
something both for Gabrielle and for
Mr.. Dunstan. But, in truth, Gabrielle
happily for herself), in spite of her will
fulness, liked a man who would not
bear everything from her. After the
fashion of the silly young creatures, she
loved what she called her liberty, and,
simply on the ground of her woman
hood, would think herself justified in
teasing and worrying a man unlimited
ly,-unless he stopped her; but if he
stopped her when she knew she ought
to be stopped she respected him for it:

or her vanity ana iolly were so winning
in their honest sweetness. The elder
woman lifted up her head, and gazed
into them for moment or two; then
she also rose, and in the calm, self-pos-
sessed voice that SO rarely showed the
slightest touch of feeling
1T can hardly be pleasure to any
one to come and see me-" she said. Il
do not mean that / want to shut myself
out from kindness, where kindness is
voluntarily offered me' (she said this
slowly, but and here she was 81
lent for moment, and then went on
rapidly, and almost as with kind of
Impotence and resentment at having
been as it were forced into saying some
thing about herself that she had not
meant to say-"but you see for yourself
that | am a woman oppressed and al
most overwhelmed by trouble. You see
how little fit am for taking any part
in common society. If you ever care
you, or the other lady that you speak of
to come again and visit me, l will
make you welcome; but this is all can
say cannot with truth say more than
this"
''Indeed, We know-we all know that
you have suffered great deal.n Ca
brielle said quickly, half below her
breath, with an almost shy glance at the
black dress; for to Gabrielle, as to many
another young happy creature, great
sorrow was a great mystery, one of the
few things that her irreverent fingers
shrank from meddling with, and at
nearness to which her lips became awe
struck and mute. She glanced at the
black dress, feeling powerless to do
anything more than,-taking for grant
ed las most people would have done)
that the sable garb was the outward
sign of the inward trouble-the natural
consequence and outcome of that. II
suppose her husband has only been dead
very little WHILE" she thought to her
self; and as she stood there, in her bright
fresh happy youth, the girl felt pang
of kindly pain and pity for this other
woman, so little older than herself, to
whom life had given so different a lot.
She put out her hand in the silence
that followed her last words, for Mrs.
Hill made no answer to them, and in a
few moments more they had wished
each other good by and parted.
"She is the strangest woman / ever
saw" said Gabrielle inwardly, breath
ing the fresh air with feeling of relief
as she stepped out once more into the
sunshine, and prepared to tread her
way daintily homeward over flooded
road. 81 never in my life saw any wo-
man with such look in her face. What
terrible thing it would be to live with
her! l think in a months time she
would turn me into stone" And Ga
brielle shuddered at the very thought of
such an existence as she tripped lightly
ON her way; and yet, though she shud-
dered, and though she felt much as
some one might feel who after little
confinement in dark place, had come
back to upper air, and the natural light
of Gods sunshine, still it was with
something else than a mere feeling of
shrinking that she went home, musing
and meditating upon Esther Hill.
There was something in the interview
they had, cold as it had been, that she
could not forget, something in the wo-
mans clouded beauty that haunted her
like a dream.
