CANADA Is EXCITED
The Charges of Treason Sweep.
ing Over the Dominion.
a CRISIS SEEMS INEVITABLE.
The People Have Not Been So Aroused
Since the Days of Fenianism.

Bitter Attacks In the Government Papers
on tho Liberals-One Paper Says that
Canada Has an Ugly Habit of Hanging
TraitOrs-ProE Goodwin Smith Talks
About tn TreasonCharges.
TORONTO, Feb 20.-The fuel added by
Editor Farrer, of the Globe, to the
flames of the confiagrat ion which is now
sweeping over Canada has had its ex.
pectant effect. Never since the days of
Fenianism have the people been so thor
oughly aroused. No other subject is
talked of in the streets and at the clubs.
The dispatches containing opinions from
the London newspapers have not tended
to make things quieter. The lines be-
tween the Tories and the Grits are be-
coming more sharply drawn each day,
and a crisis seems inevitable.
Premier Sir John Macdona AIDS
charges of treason are being actively
used to prejudice the Liberal par ty, and
there are bitter attacks in the govern
ment papers. One advises the writer of
the pamphlet and Sir Richard Cort-
wright to go to the United States, adding:
Canada has an ugly habit of hanging
traitors"
The unfriendly attitude of the Cana
dian Ministers to the United States dur
ing the campaign leads it to he feared
that if the government be sustained it
will precipitate hostile action toward
Americans.
Prof. Goodwin Smith, in commenting
on the speeches delivered by Sir John
Macdonald and Sir Charles Topper, says:
eff anybody has been guilty of treason
it is the duty of the Prime Minister, as
the guardian of public justice, to put the
law in force against him, not to babble
about him for electioneering purposes
But, supposing the man guilty, how does
the misconduct of a private journalist
affect the question of reciprocity"

Arrangements for an Enthusiastic Recep-
ti"n Said to Have Boon Made.
DUBLIN, Feb. 0.-Considerable mys-
terry seems to surround Mr.. ParnelIs
visit to America, but that he has con-
cluded to go appears to be decided.
Many communications have passed be-
tween the Parnellites here and leaders in
the United States who favor the cause,
and all the arrangements for an enthu-
siastic reception have been made.
The time of Mr.. Parnelrs departure
will depend altogether upon the exigen-
cies of the campaign in Ireland.
During the day Messrs. O'Brien and
Dillon were quietly removed from the Jail
at Clonmel to Galway, where it is expect
ed they will complete their six months
term of imprisonment.
Bishop MacGivern of Dromore has ad-
dressed a letter to the clergy of his do
cese, in which he warns the faithful not
to attend a proposed Parnell meeting at
Newry. The bishop says that he had
hoped that the poisoned atmosphere of
the divorce court, with its filthy, dis
gushing and scandalous revelations,
would not reach his diocese.

A Singular Coincidence.

LONDON, Feb. 20.-The Pail Mali

sermon viii ch the Rev Charles II. Spur

Savory, Lord Mayor of London, at the
Polytechnic Institute in Regent street.
The two discourses are identical in al
most every particular, long passages in
the Spurgeon sermon being delivered I'M

Lord Mayor Savory, whose attention was
called to this singular coincidence, said
that he was unaware of the similarity,
and that he had never, to the best of his
knowledge, seen the sermon referred to

A Village Postmaster in Connecticut
ShOrn of u Flowing Beard.
NoRwALK, Conn, Feb 20.-Wilton, a
small town six miles north of this city,
is enjoying a White-Cap sensation.
Richard H. Fitch, the village postmas-
ter, who wears long and flowing beard,
was notified few days ago by letter
embellished with a skull, cross-bones
and coffin in blood that he must sacri-
flee the beard or suffer the penalty. He
paid no attention to the warning, think
ing it a joke, but during the morning
his whiskers were reduced to a stubby
beard
Mr.. Fitch refuses to explain when and
where the outrage occurred, but it is
limited that it took place while he was re-
turning home through the woods.

Worlds FAIR Appoin: msnt
WASHINGTON, Feb. 20.-The President
is expected to send to the Senate either
to-day or tomorrow the nomination OF
.x-Gov Charles Foster of Ohio as the
successor of Secretary Window. Know
ing politicians say that this is to be the
oucome of the controversy over the
Treasuryship portfolio.
- The offer was probably not unex-
pected Governor Foster has been iden
titled with the Harrison Window policy
in finances, and his counsel has been
sought by both the President and the
late Secretary of the Treasury.
Since the death of Secretary Window,
it is now learned, correspondence on the
subject of the succession has passed be-
tween President Harrison and the ex-
Governor, and the position of the Presi-
dents mind was fully settled before the
conference in New York yesterday took
place.
Mr.. Foster is a self-made made. He.
began life as a poor boy. Slowly he
worked his way up and in time came to
be a mill-owner. A town was built up
in Ohio from the money that was dis.
tributed from his mill, and that town is
to-day known as Fostoria.
Although Mr.. Foster will be classed as
q Western man, he will be to all intents
and purposes a representative of the East,
as his views on the financial situation
are in harmony with those held in the
East. In financial matters Mr.. Foster
will probably follow in Mr.. WINDOWS

The naccarat Scandal.

LONDON, Feb 20.-The Star, the Home
Rule organ, referring to the baccarat
scandal in which the Prince of Wales is
involved, says that England is no longer
the slave of royalty, and that the sover-
eign of England no longer rules but
only reigns, and that the guiding
of the fgurehead ought not to be tar
nished by royal folly and blunders. The
extreme Radicals generally applaud
these utterances; but British public
opinion, even among the working classes,
is showing signs of sympathy with the
Prince, who is regarded as having been
subjected to more abuse than he deserves.
Mr.. Gladstone especially is said to dis
approve the attacks.

Watsrbury's Great Prosperity
REASONS WHY WE SHOULD ALL
SING GLORY HALLELUJAH

lListen to what the Real Estate Weekly
Record says:
Concerning Waterbury the Weekly
Record saws "Among the architects
there is a very cheerful feeling over the
buildinV outlook for the coming year
Capitalists are already talking up large
projects, some of which will surprise the
public when announced. One prominent
architect has on haEd no less that four new
factories and extensions, and this means
prosperity in all lines There will be con
siderable done in the way of new blocks
and the center of the city will wear diff
erent aspect when the years building is
completed. Everything points to pros
porous .building season."
sRThe Waterbury Furniture Company
saw this in advance and this is why it is
building on Field street, on the line OF
the New Park, a storehouse, equal in
size to its new building on South Main
street. Nothing is so embarrassing as
to be short of room in the busy season.
AS soon as we sell a Chamber Suit. a
Parlor Suit, a Range or Stove, we
want another on hand to put in its
place. We don't have to ask the
people to appreciate our efforts be-
cause the world knows they do. We
mean to have room enough to crafty
everyone's wish, and show them a
stock of goods that will make them
feel glad that they came to Waterbury
to buy their goods.
One great pleasure to us in doing
business is that Our Customers become
our Firm Friends. Our great aim in
life is not the mere matter Of money
getting, but to build up safe, steady.
reliable business, in which the people
have confidence.
Our prices are the lowest and oul
goods the best money can buy. Goods
delivered free.
