PALPABGY ABSURD.
Plan to Induce the United States to Fur nish Money to Maintain Canadian Can


 nish Money to Maintain Canadian Can als.
 ToRoNTo, Ont, Nov. 24.-A dispatch from Minneapolis Thursday night stated secret committee of the Deep Waterways association, of which C. A. Rowland, of this city, was member, had been appointed to bring to fruition a plan whereby the United States gov ernment is to be induced to furnish S2,0oo,0 900 required annually for the maintenance of the Canadian canal system on condition that the canals be thrown open to American shipping. Concerning it Mr. Rowland said: "The dispatch is palpably absurd It was evidently sent out by some person who did not know one iota of the sub ject about which he was writing.
 Mr. Rowland says that meeting of the executive committee will be held in Chicago next week, at which general matters of business will be discussed and future plan of cam paign marked out.

CONDITIONS.

The physician will not make visits outside the city limits. This ticket isnot transferable and does not apply to the family of the em- ploye, and must be return ed as soon as the term of employment ceases. This privilege is n free gift of the company and is no part of the contract for wages. and may be made void by the company, at it's own option, without notice.
 This is practical illustration of MT Douglas idea, and will surely be appre eiated by the hundreds who receive the cards.
 He says that he bell eyes there are hun treds of workiagmeu and workingWemen who find doctors bill a great burden after period of enforced idleness, and that if this is lifted from them they must feel that their employer is in terestcd in them in some other way than simply 10 get all the work he can for just as little money as he ;an. He says also that there are men and women who keep right at work when it would be better for their health if they would lay off q day or two and have med cal attendance Then again they will now feel frec to consult the doctor when they nave slight troubles, Wh iCh heretofore they would not dc because of the cost.
 The plan goes into effect to-day. Dr. s. J tiruver has been engaged as the physician and enters upon his duties tomorrow.
 The plan is a good one.
 Speaking of the W. I4 Douglas Shoe Co it may be said that their factory is the only one in the city where the principle of arbi- tratioR is recognized and has full sway Mir. Douglas is a firm believer in the prin- clple and has been sin Ce the establishment of the state board of arbitration. He claims that labor troubles would not be as ire quent as they are if manufacturers and help would recognize this great principle, and adopt it.
 The firm obliges every man who is hired to sign an agreement to submit any dis agreement that may arise and which can not be settled by the interested parties to the state board of arbitration. the decision on both sides Pending settlement of any disagreement the men agree to continue at work. This agreement went in fierce December lo, 1888. and has worked well It is signed by the L. P. |. on behalf of the lasters. - Broekton (Mass.l Daily Enter prise.

THE MADAGASCAR EXPEDITION.
The Question Of Granting Credit There for Debated In the French Chamber of Deputies.

PARIS, Nov. 24.-The chamber of deputies was crowded yesterday, the occasion being the debate on the ques- tion of granting a credit for the Mada- gascar expedition. Conspicuous among the diplomats present was United States Ambassador Eustis The principal speeches were made by M. Gaston de nonville Maillefun, ex- treme left, and NJ. Andre Lebon, re- publican, both of whom supported the credit.
 NJ. Julien Dumas, radical republi- can, opposed the credit, and warned the chamber that the minimum expense would be likely to reach POO, GOO. .0OO francs and the campaign would require 30,000 troops, both monetary and mili- tary requirements being overwhelm- ingiy in excess of the credit asked and the military force authorized. All this he declared would eventually ben eft England.

TO AID EMPLOYES.
New Scheme Of the ". L. Douglas sh o, Co.-Win Furnish Their Help with Med icaI Attendance

A New Scheme Of the ". L. Douglas sh oe Co.-Wil Furnish Their Help with Med icai Attendance.
 William l.. Douglas, the president of the world famed W. L. Douglas Shoe Co.,, has always had a great personal interest in the army of men and women who inhabit the great factory at M ontello during the work ing hours of the day, and who make the greatly advertised 8 shoe.
 He is great believer in the idea that manufacturers should have this personal interest in the condition of their employees, and feels that if the idea is carried out to the extent that is possible, that it will result ultimately in the breaking down of the bar riers which have been built up between em- plOyers and those whom they employ. He believes that the breaking down of these in visible but strong barriers would be a great thing for everybody conce rned, as 1t would convince the workin gmen that their em- plOyerS were not their enc mics, as some of them seem to think now, but tlelr friends, with q desire to do all for them that was in their power
 Having strong feelings upon this point, it is only natural that MT Douglas should give the matter some study and aCquaint him self with the result of the trials of such plans n other places. He is satisfied that the scheme he has orig mated is a good one and he has now put it to practical test
 To-day he handed to every person in his emp1oY-and they form a small armv-a card, fac-simile of which is here given: This titlSet entities to full and free medical attendance while em- ployed by the W. l., Douglas Shoe Company. competent and skillful physician will be at the private office of the company at l2 NJ, daily, except Sundays and holidays.
 If Sttd emptoyc should be detained at home by sickness the physician will give full and free medical attendance there.

Death Of J. r. Liggett.

Last Monday night about 9 o'clock
Mrs. W. H. Matheny received the
sad intelligence Of the death OF
her brother, John R. Liggeit
which occurred at his home n Hurt
inoton. w. Va, last Sunday
ni9bt;whereupon she together with
her husband Immediately set out
for Stanton, where they arrived at
$3.50 Tuesday morning just as
his remains were being removed
to the home Of his mother, his
BODY having been brought to Staun
ton on the y;l0 G. 4 o. train.
The funeral took place from Trim
;tv Episcopal church Tuesday even
ing at 5 o'clock.
The deceased was reared in Staun
ton and there conducte! a mercan
Tile business for some years and
seeking to better his fortune and
extend his usefulness, gave up bis
business in Stanton and went to
Charleston VIVA, where he again
entered the mercantile business,
thence he transferred his business
to HUNTINGTON VIVA.
Declining health caused him to
take an ex ended trip to Texas-
Mexico and other places, hol in to
regain his health, but disease
stealthily preyed upon his vitals un
til with Christian resignation and
confiding trust in Jesus, he peace
fully breathed his last. Thus with
him ended "life's trans lent dream. .
His last utterance was to his wife
saying: Hold my hand until |
die. then God will take it"
John was a dutiful son, loving
brother and his departure is sadly
lamented by his relations and
friends.

The Times says Of the treasur!

The Times says of the treasury
status:
During the first third of The
month Of April the expenditures
have outrun the receipts at a rate
indicating a net deficit for the
month of about $l0,000,00O. The
gold reserve has been maintained
at very nearly the level of April /,
having fallen OF bat $4,000, a re
suit largely due to the wholesome
effect Of the Bland bill veto. Bat
the course Of the general business
Of the Treasury is far from satlsfac-
tory and is not likely to improve
until definite action has been had
upon the tariff bill. No one can
deny that business revival is well
started, that the tide has distinctly
turned. The only element OF un-
certainty is in Washington. That
ought to be removed as promptly as
possible. The Treasury requires it,
because revenue from duties will
not come in until duties are fixed.
But the interests Of the whole coun-
try demand it still more urgent
ly. Even at the present rate Of net
expenditures the Treasury can get
on we'll enough but there is a real
ly vast amount Of business which,
If it be not started within the next
two months, will either not be start
ed at all or at - great Disadvantage.
