English and French in Court,

OTTAWA, ONT, Feb. 27.-In regard
TO the continuance of the use of the En-
glish and French language in the courts
of the Northwest territories, it may be
stated that Sir John Thompson 8 amend
ment TO Mr.. McCarthy's bill, preserves
the practice. 1t was suggested by some
that the use of English and French in
court was sufficiently provided for by
the British North American act. That
view, however, is contrary to the one
held by parliament, aud also contrary to
the views of the government. The doc
trines that the provisions of the bill are
not North American respecting the use of
the two languages as applies TO these
courts, Is doubtful.

THE MONITOR WITHIN.

There is pang that all must feel
Who do not do the right,
Remorse will o er their forehead steal,
When drawing near the light.
What greater hell can they endure
When conscience lifts the veil?
Upbraiding, singing oh! how poor,
With some, will be the tale.
A photograph of mental strain
Impressions small and great,
Bringing smiles and Joy. or inward pain,
Indelible as fate.
Transfx ed they stand. without alloy,
Immeasureless their bounds,
Not earth nor heaven can e'er destroy
The circuit of their rounds.
Conscience, book, the record bears,
Inlaid with every deed,
Whether of wheat, or choking tares.
Or good, or corrupting seed.
Then Justice, with her scales in hand,
Shall weigh each passing thought.
And blaIon' d on the beam will stand,
The good or i'll here wrought:

TRADE REVIEW.

Reports Less EncouraZIng-w and Nom
etary Outlook MAKE Dull Business.
NEW YORK, Feb. 28.-R. G. Dun &
Coz weekly review of trade saws:
Unreasonable weather and growing
doubts about the monetary future do not
help business, and reports this week are
less encouraging; yet it must be remem-
bered that reports of dealers everywhere
are liable TO be much Influenced by the
disappointment of past hopes, so that
they consider trade unsatisfactory be-
cause it is not up TO their expectations
and because the distribution does not suf-
fee to clear away stocks purchased ,
though the amount of transactions may
be larger than year ago. TO a trader
who has bought 20 per cent. more than
ia any previous season but has only sold
per cent. more, business is unsatis-
factory. The enormous traffic during
the latter part of last year showed that
exceptionally heavy purchases were
made and clearings Indicate that settle
ments are better than a year ago. Last
week showed an increase OF 4 per cent.
at New York, per cent. at Boston
Philadelphia and Chicago, and 10 per
cent. at all other places. But the pre-
vailing tone just now is one of dis
couragement.
In the stock market the tendency has
been toward further depression as is nat
ural with money working more closely :,
and average has declined 8Io per share
for the week, not Including trust or in
dustrial stocks, which have been espe-
ciallY depressed.
Business failures occurring throughout
the country were Sol, as compared with
total of 27l last week.

Joseph Gilas Biggar. ''the Father OF OBJ
struction."
Joseph Gillas Biggar, known as 'the
commons at Westminster, as "'the
rhinoceros OF the home rule party and
by similar titles, is dead. He was q
character and will be missed greatly
by both friend and foe.
Mr.. Biggar was born in Belfast, Au-
gust 1, 1928, and received his education
at the academy of that city. In his
seventeenth year he went INTO the Office
of his father, who was in the provision
trade, where he worked as assistant until
1861, when be succeeded to the business,
and in 1880, having amassed an ample
competency, he was enabled TO re-
tire. His family were PresbYte-
rians, but Mr.. Bigger became q
convert to the Roman Catholic
church In 1877. He was first elected TO
parliament as Home Ruler from COun-
ty Cavan in 1874 and has been re-elect-
ed continuously by the same constitu-
ency. His parliamentary career dates
from the debate on the coercion bill, in
1875. On the occasion OF the second
reading of the bill he rose, and catching
the speaker eye-the time being p. m.
delivered an address. He then took up
a blue book aud began to read. For four
hours and thirty-avs minutes he stayed
on his legs, blue book in hand drOn-
ing out meaningless utterances. A favor
ite obstructive device of bis was to lie in
wait for bills which but for his 1atchful
eye might slip through during the few
minutes devoted to unopposed business
on Wednesday evenings. Counts. too,

RUTHERFORD. TEX, Feb. 2S.-Mr.
A t. Schmid of Little Rock, Ark. and
large stakeholder in large company
with a large number of cotton seed oil
mills in that state, was in the city yes
terday and submitted to the farmers of
