CANADIAN IMPORTS.

WASHINGTON, y. G., April 49,
Secretary of the Treasury Foster
was asked today about the proposed
changes, which 1t is said are con-
templated In the present system of
transportation through the terrific
ries of the United States, of goods
shipped over the Canadian roads
under consular seals. The secretary
replied that the department did not
want to injure the business Of Cana
dian roads. The single principle
which the department wanted to
haYe established In the matter was
the protection of American revenue.
The department would treat these
goods precisely as though they en-
tered at New York or any American
port, destined for an inland custom
house.

Der of the reichstag from Geeste-

stand as follows: Bismarck, 1857;
5chmalfield (socialist) 1923; Platt
(guelph) 3343; Adolf (freisinige)
26l9. The apathy of electors is re-
markable, not over 40 per cent hav-
ing voted. This state Of affairs is
largely attributed to the fact that
the natlonalists were supine, mus
tering but bare one-fourth of the
vote cast by them at the last cleo
tion, and to the additional fact that
Prince Bismarck abstained abso-
lutely from taking any part in the
contest.

Prince Bismarck insisted upon

sages the indomitable opposition OF

ment.

THE IRISH TROUBLE.


LONDON, April 1S.--In the com
mons Thomas Sexton, one of the
members from Belfast, who was loud
ly cheered by the McCarthyities,and
by the liberals during the course of
the debate on the Irish land bill,
strongly condemned Parnell's at
Utude when the latter made an at
tack upon the liberals policy. Sex
ton said the liberals position was
not changed, but Parnells attitude
had undergone a change.
Parnell, before full house, again
turned on Healy and Sexton. They
were, he said, trying in an under
handed way to destroy the bill. He
offered to withdraw his amendment
If Morley would withdraw bis, and
allow the house to divide on Sections
amendment, which would fulfill a
dual object. Morley assented, but
the government insisted upon dl.
vision.
Since Healy, across the floor Of
the house, renewed his challenge to
Parnell, the Cork unionist leaders
there sent Parnell assurance that
they will leave him a clear field to
fight out the battle, and that no
unionist candidate or non-unionist
support will obscure the issue. This
offer deprives Parnell of the last ex-
cuse for not facing Healy; but. he
will not fight. The decision of the
Cork board of guardians calling up
on Parnell to resign, shows that ev-
cry chance he had of success had
vanished.

MISCELLANY.


CLEVELAND, o., April 1S.-Baron,
the handsome imported spaniel,
which was presented Mrs. Grover
Cleveland while she was mistress
Of the White House, has been adj
mIred by all lovers Of dogs at the
Cleveland bench show, but no
body thought the little canine would
carry away two blue ribbons.
Such is the case, however, for be-
side taking first prize in the class
for spaniels of all breeds over
twent-eight pounds, Baron was de-
cIared to be the best dog exhibited
at the show, and was given
special award on that account.
Baron was entered in the show
by G. w. Folsom, a relative of
Mrs. Cleveland.
VIOLATION OF THE LAW.
SAN FRANCISCO, April 1s.-A
suit was filed yesterday in The sup
erior court by the people of the state
of California, upon complaint and
information of Attorney General
Hart against the San Francisco
stock exchange. The complaint
is filed for the purpose Of preventing
the defendant from doing business.
The attorney general claims that
the exchange, by its members, con-
ducts business in violation of the
laws Of the state against conducting
lotteries, gambling and games Of
chance, and is therefore Illegal and
against public policy.

MA DE DEfEAlEDs
BERLIN, April 18.-The final re-
turns from Geestemunde show that
there is a aremote chance of Bismarck
being defeated for the relchstag on
the second ballot. He gives no sign
of retiring. A dispatch containing
verse addressed to the emperor in
regard to Bismarck appeared in this
city and met with an enormous de-
mand. 1t requests the emperor to
pacify Bismarck, the great historical
figure of the empire, to whom the
emperor can make advances with
out the sacrifice Of dignity.

The street between the wall and the
hotel wa called the club room of Ter
matt, and it was there that my feelings
of respect for the cliffs and precipices of
the Matterhorn persisted. For there l
heard the story of the fat German hauled
like a log up the peak by four guides, the
rope tied around his waist and fastened
to his feet with aslip knot, and he swing
ing from rock to rock, suspended thou
sands of feet in the air and they never
bothering to look at him; and of the
Italian count who made the ascent with
eve guides in front, seven behind, and
n man to keep his legs straight against
the rocks; and of the boy of fourteen fol-
lowing in the train of the conqueror; and
of the woman reaching the top, and then,
as the guides literally ran her down,
quietly sleeping all the way back from
the lower hut until the bells of the little
church in Zermatt awoke her.
And yet even the cynics who laughed
at these tales could be stirred into a show
of enthusiasm, and more than once were
we reused from our first sleep by the
ringing cheers with which the men at
the Monte Rosa greeted the return of the
last hero of the Matterhorn. And, after
all, there are certain perils which the ex-
ploiters of the Alps cannot wholly oun
teract.-Century.

oouLD,s READY MONEY.
Ho1 Can Create IA Panic Any Time by
Withdrawing sIs, o 900.

Nfthdrawing slSsooo.Ooo-
How much is Jay Gould worth?
Biscontemporaries, associates and crit
les put him down at about $3.50, 000, 900. !
suppose it is not much exaggerated We
know, who are brokers and in the bank
ing business here, the influence of his
ready money. He has got the best mon
ey in the country; it is all liquid money.
What do you mean by liquid money?
Money which flows like u liquid-like
quicksilver, according to the inclina-
ton, up or down. The Astors, for ex-
ample, do not have liquid money! their
money is in real estate, upon which they
could not realize in tight times as well
as in easy times. But Gould's money Is
here in time of panic as readily as in
flush times.
Almost any time he can withdraw
from the market 81, 900, 900, or can keep
it loaned. Now. the bank surplus is
only so, 600, 900. So you see the pro-
digious power that money has in the
mere ebb aud flow of it. When Mr..
Gould withdraws it, as he is said to do.
though l have no knowledge On the sub
ject, the times are terribly tight here.
Up goes the rate of interest. Men with
obligations are ready to pay almost any
thing. This money comes to him in the
nature of his property.
His property is always earning money
in cash. If he resolves to purchase some
costly piece of property, like the Union
Pacific railroad, he may put his money
out to let interest accumulate upon it.
He is not, however, n money lender in
the sense of Russell Sage, who lends
money to earn money. MI. Gould lends
money with an object in view, in the
nature of Il large merchant. Yet he is
without the conditions of such a mana
polite person.
A friend of mine not long ago Dor
rowed 81, 00O, 900 from him in the midst
of the panic, This man did not conceal
his temporary necessity, but said to Mr..
Gould, or rather wrote to him, that
whatever interest he was minded to ask
would be satisfactory. He says that
Gould said to him, go along until you
get through, and we will see about the
rate then" When they came to settle
all that Gould asked him was ordinary
interests per cent. Such things he
does quietly without further remark,
and hence many persons who are not
very intimate with him, but have had
exchanges of that kind to take place,
think of him with as much respect as
they speak of him.
1t must be remembered, however, that
he has not lived this life and encountered
long hostility and abuse to become a
mere ph~ilanthropist. He is n gigantic
merchant in transportation.-'Gath" in
Cincinnati Enquirer.

1t is a sad Commentary on a Christian
community, which takes that distinctive
title from a religion whose founder is
called the CONSIDER because his word
plucks the sting from death, that it r
rounds death with every circumstance of
woe ard gloom. The distinctive minis
try OF the faith seems to fail at the very
point to which it is especially addressed.
The natural Christian tone at the burial
of the lead would seem to be the cheer
that springs from the thought of immor-
tality-a sublime hope, a tender resigna-
ton.
The Christian thought in that hour
should instinctively dwell upon the soul,
not upon the body, and the simplest and
most transformations rite of burial would
seem to be the most truly Christian. But
the ostentation of Christian funerals has
become SO great that burial reform asso-
Citations are formed, both in this country
and in England, to relieve the poor of
the painful and needless cost which,
from mistaken respect for the dead, they
will not spare SO long as o%stentation is
the custom.-George William Curtis in

1T MIST RE PROTECTED

Superintendent Peterson and Chair
man Richardson of the park committee
are exceedingly annoyed by many acts of
persistent vandalism practiced in the city
park after nightfall. The place Is natur-
ally n great resort and hundreds OF citi-
zens enjoy visiting there to admire its
many beauties. Lately it has become a
MIS- tly resort for a lot of hoodlums who
frequently make night hldeous with their
obscene songs. Gangs of them loitcr
about there until . and 3 O'Clock in the
morning and the entire neighborho6d is
scaudalIzed by their conduct
As il this was not bad enough they
have taken to destroying flowers and
shrubs. MANY Of the most beautiful
plants are torn M huIuy by the roots to
be afterwards %trausp,anted or thrown
away to die. The lawns are oltcntimcs
trampled undr foot and some of the rc-
Gently planted spruce aud pine trees have
been broken and utterly destroyed.
Among the most beautiful features Of the
park was a very large bed Of pansics.
The entire bed has been trampled down
and all of the flowers perhaps perma-
nently destroyed.
This sort OF conduct should not be per-
mitted in a civilized community. II the
police cannot protect the park then the
citizens should organize to do so. Van
dalism must be stopped even though 1t
takes c coat OF tar and feathers to do it.
The park is beyond comparison the finest
resort the city affords, 1t is the result
OF much money spent, an infinite amount
oil labor and stands as to the
good taste Of those who have been con
cerned in its Improvement Its spolia
ton should, therefore, not be permitted
and offenders in this respect should b.
treated so vigorously as to make an en-
ample to deter others

LEADER PREMIUMS.
A Variety of Handsome Presents to
be Given to Subscribers This
Month.
Read the List Over Carefully and
Make Your Choice Before it
is Too Late.

We desire to close out all OF our pre-.
miums this month, aud in order to do SO
offer them as per terms given below.
There are nearly 400 premiums, repre-
scnung a cash value of about 5000. All
Of these premiums are to be given to
subscribers absolutely free. No sub
scriber, however, will be entitled to a
premium except by paying his or her sub
scriptiOn in advance the length Of time
| specified In the table below. The only
exception to this rule is where subscribers
have taken the trouble to save the pre-
MUM coupons" We make the exception
only because we advertised to give some
OF the premiums for coupons, and we do
as we agree. Twenty-Five coupons from
THE DAILY LEADER or ten from the
WEEKLY will secure any premium that
Ia,ing one dollar in advance will secure.
If you have no coupons then you must
pay the specified time in advance. These
are our terms and it will be useless to ask
for any others
As the number OF premiums is a little
less than 400 and the circulation OF THE
DAILY and WEEKLY LEADER combined
amounts to over / 400 it will be seen that
there are not enough premiums for all
subscribers. IN giving them out we shall
follow the rule of first come fist served.
New subscribers as well as old may take
advantage ofthe opportunity to secure a
handsome book or picture free. Club
~raisers who are working tor the prizes to
be awarded Aug. | should remember tins
and when sending orders state which one
of the premiums is wanted by the sub
All of these premiums have
been described in previous issues of The
LEADER and although a page could be
filled with descriptions aud testimonials, it
will only be stated that the cash value OF
each is as shown in the table. Anyone
desiring the novels may choose any TWEEN
ty-ive from a list OF $50 which will be fur
nished on application. Samples of all the
premiums may be seen at this office. Sub
scrlbers who have had one or more of the
premiums will not be entitled to the same
premium again, but are entitled to any or
all the other premiums by paying the
proper amount. Following is the list with
