New Regulations of the Bonding
system.

The treasury regulations in relation to the
bonding privilege are to be issued in few
days, it is said, but they will probably be SO
mild that they will have little adverse effect
upon the business Of roads like the Grand
Trunk or Canadian Pacific. A Washing

1t is reported at Washington that the
government is making efforts to secure an
extension Of the time in which the now IA
nous Congo treaty may be ratified. This
treaty was entered into by the great nations
Of Christendom to keep slavery, fire arms
and intoxicating liquors out Of the Congo
Free State. There was In the treaty pro-
vision that 1t must be ratified by all the pow
ers by July LIST, 1891, in order to be effective.
When general paralysis struck the United
States Senate In the second session Of the
last Congress this treaty was one of the
measures that was not acted on. Through the
efforts since made by the executive branch
of the government several governments have
agreed to aoquiesce In an extension of the
time of ratification, and there is prospect
that the Senate may have another chance
next winter. Perhaps by that time the gra.
cious minority may be in a mood to let legis-
lation go along; and majority of the Sem
ate may have been brought to understand
that there is really popular demand for the
ratification of this humane and Christian
treaty.

The Tory papers of Canada are undertake
ing to hold the Liberals responsible for Sir
John Macdonald's death. The Toronto EN-
pire, one of the most prominent of them,
alleges that "had it not been for the adoption
by the Liberals Of a disloyal and degrading
fiscal proposal and the consequent necessity
for all honest and far seeins Canadians to
throw themselves heart and soul into con-
test for the preservation Of our independence
as people, the noble premier would not
have felt impelled to exert himself to such a
degree as to have shattered his physical
powers" As Sir John had passed the age
OF threescore years and ten, and "by reason
OF strength" had almost reached four score,
this attempt to saddle the responsibility for
his death upon the Liberals seems good
deal forced. But political malevolence In
the Dominion has no limit. A few months
ago the Tory papers of Canada were accus-
ng about half the population of disloyalty
because they wanted closer relations with
the United States. Now they are accusing
them OF manslaughter. Perhaps the two par
ties have an understanding that when they
accuse one another of disloyalty, murder and
thieying that the accusation is to be taken In
a pickwickian sense.

In London they are specializing about the
future Of Sir William Gordon-C Cumming with
horrible bluntness. Some are wondering if
ne will commit suicide, as they really seem
to think he ought to; others think he should
leave England and 60 to throw away his
life in battle with the Turk, after the manner
OF the dispirited and disappointed of the
older days. Colonel Valentine Baker, when
driven out of the English army for greater
disgrace than has fallen upon Sir William
Gordon-Cumming, sought the service of the
sultan. The Turco-Russian War came on
soon after and in that shock of arms Colonel
Baker made great reputation in Europe,
although the Queen would not permit him to
return to the English service. Some of the
friends Of Sir William argue that he too,
might find in the service of the sultan a
career, since war is likely to break out in
Europe at any time.

The action of the Episcopal convention on
the resolution expressing regret that the
standing committee felt obliged to vote
against the confirmation of DIR. Phillips
Brooks is not to be interpreted as indicating
that the majority Of the delegates were in
favor of DR.. Brooks's rejection. 1t meant
simply that the majority were not in favor
of passing a resolution that might be con-
strued as a vote of censure on the standing
committee. Many of those who voted for
indefinite dostponement are undoubtedly in
favor of the confirmation of DR.. Brooks.
One at least of those who so voted had ex-
pressly declared that to be his view.

fully assault private citizens who 60

satisfactory if not quicker answer to
such a query could be got, probably,
by having the offender brought be-
