his wife Fannie Both had been drinking

We are always glad when subject of
q monarchy or empire makes himself
familiar with our republican system Of
government and our constitution. 1t is
with due respect, therefore, that we are
disposed to listen to the statement of
Hon. Peter Mitchell of Montreal that
Canadian statesmen had made a careful
study of our constitution and modelled
their own government upon it. Then
says Hon. Peter, says he: Something
like q hundred years of trial had dis
closed many defects in your democracy.
We in Canada located those defects,
avoided them and thus turned your test
period to profit"
Mr.. Mitchell knows the Canadian gov
eminent system is better than ours be
cause he himself helped to frame it after
locating the defects" in the American
system. Then he proceeds to say that
the sentiment of Canada is dead against
annexation to this country and that any
prominent Canadian official who would
dare advocate it would be committing
political suicide.
If Mr.. Mitchell knows as much about
Canadian annexation sentiment as he
does about the constitution Of the United
States, he is a wise man indeed. He
says that while nothing will induce
Canada to be united politically with US
yet nevertheless she wants our tariff
modified. and if she cannot get this don,
in the direction of reciprocity by con
gress then she may have to confine tn,
reduction of tariff to states that will
reciprocate." This wise Canadian states
man, who avoided the errors Of our sys
TEN when he helped frame the Canadian
government. evidently thinks each sepa
rate state Of this Union makes its OWL
tariff. We are panied to be obliged t
point out this break and ask the Hon
q P. n. to read the United States consti
tuition once more.

SECRETARY CARLISLE al d President
Cleveland probably never took the time
to spend a thought upon the numerous
mis- statements which have been made
during the last few days concerning
their relation toward each other because
they knew that the authorities of these
ridiculous stories would all be hunting
for holes to crawl into in a short time,
as they actually did when the official
announcement was made, several days
ago, that Secretary Carlisle had gone to
Gray Gables to assist President Cleve-
land in preparing his message to con-
gress. The invitation for this visit was
extended and accepted the day that
President Cleveland left Washington,
after issuing the call for the extra SEES
sion, which shows how much these fell
lows know who have been giving the
public in details an account of Secretary
Carlisle's intended retirement from the
cabinet, because of the presidents fail
ure to consult him about his message to
congress. Moral: Get your news from
democratic sources, if you want it to be
straight.

HOW TO LEAVE THE HOUSE.
II Too Late For This Year. 1t win Do Fol
the Next.

II Too Late For This Year, 1t VIII Do Foa
the Next.
The vacation hegira involves much
hard work on the head of the household.
Bric-a-brac must be put away. pictures
and mirrors shrouded in newspapers or
unbleached cotton cloth, upholstered fur
niture covered and draperies taken down,
beaten and put up in camphor or washed
and laid away, according as their texture
demands. Carpets and rugs must be
lifted and sent to the cleaners, winter
clothing must be overhauled for traces
of moth and packed away in trunks or
drawers, kitchen utensils of iron CREASED
TO save them from rusting, and the chin
neys Of open freplaces must be stuffed
to keep SCOT and ashes from settling into
the rooms.
The whole house must be rendered a
waste, if not a bowling wilderness, and
only when the acme of dreariness is at
tanned does the housewife feel that she
can with any peace of mind send her sill
yer to the bank and turn her back upon
her home. Through all her toll runs the
thought that, take what precautions she
may, the sitting summer dust cannot
be altogether excluded and that it is al
ways On lue CttFuS ILlaI sIlS may return
home to find her carefully packed dra-
peries and floor coverings riddled by the
ever diligent buffalo moth. This, too, in
spite of the fact that the whole house is
chokingly redolent of camphor, tar, to-
bacco and that most pervasive and pesky
of vernin antidotes, camphor and tar
balls.
Still. in spite Of her fears, the house
keeper dares not neglect the least precau-
ton, and the responsibility rests sore
upon her. She lies awake late and awakes
early and says to herself, not once, but
many times, that the game. so far as she
is concerned. is not worth the candle.

CHICAGO. Aug. 5.-James II. Walker &
Co. dealers in general dry goods and one
OF the largest and best known firms in the
city, confessed Judgment in Judge Windes'
court on n note for s., 1875 in favor of Ed

few days to the effect that the company

The partners differed as to the receiver
named, and an animated wrangle at once
arose. So far as developed the suspension
of business as indicated by the application

SMALL BILLS WANTED.

MANY FAILURES IN TIE WEST.

Big Chicago Dry Goods Firm Goes Down

Flooded with Counterfeit BilIs-SavIngs
Banks VIII Get the Gold.
NEW YORK, Aug. 5.-The extreme scar
city of currency is called even more en-
phatically to public attention In this city
today than 1t was yesterday. The efforts
Of corporations and firms, both big and
small, here and elsewhere, to obtain a suf-
ficient supply of small bills to meet their
payrolls has caused a regular scramble for
funds. As result the money brokers and
bullion dealers are doing thriving bust
ness. buying and selling gold and silver
coin and notes OF small denominations just
as they would any article of commerce.
Zimmerman s. Forshay estimated that
they handled q. oOO, 900, and several other
firms did an active business. These deal
ers experienced less trouble in getting the
money than they did earlier in the week.
This is explained by the fact that retail
dealers. whose receipts are in cash. have
learned that they can make a new profit by
selling their currency to the brokers
They get their pay in large bills or certified
checks. which they deposit instead of the
money taken in during the day.
Some of the money brokers have adver-
tised in the newspapers their willingness
to pay premiums on small funds, and 9th
ers have sent circulars to retail business
| houses offering from l. to = of per cent
| for currency. They sold the money thu
obtained at an average Of about per cent
reaping neat profit. Their customer,
came from all over the country, and money
was shipped by express for payrolls as fal
/ as Chicago.
1t has been learned that a large share Of
| the gold now coming to this country
probably s., OOO. 600 or 1000, 0OO-will find
its way directly into the savings banks
| The latter, it seems, have sold bonds Il
dealers, who paid more than the nationa
| banks offered.
