| OTTAWA. Sept. 21.-Sir Charles Tupper in the
House OF Commons tonight took up the Ques-
tion OF the Aberdeen Topper correspond
ence regarding the designations OF the
late Ministers OF the Crown. He said
the Canadian system of government was the
same as that of England. In what hs had TO
say he disavowed his Intention TO assail ths per-
sonal representative of tho sovereign. He then
proceeded to give review of the correspond
ence which passed between himself and Lord
Aberdeen.
He argued that tho Governor General was
not In position to know the strength of
the political parties In the country by any
other means than by vote of tho House
OF Commons, and therefore his Excellency
had no right to say as he did that Sir Charles
would not have a majority in the house II he
did summon Parliament. He cited n number

Hunters for time out OF mind have been pick
ing up tho horns Of deer In the woods. This has
been the case especially in the preserved forests
Of Europe. Now q correspondent of tho London
Field writes to protest against this practice be-
cause he associates It with the decreasing size
OF deer In fenced preserves. He writes:
" 10 1t not q mistake to gather the cast deer
horns to the extent which Is now so prevalent
In every deer forest and has not this some
thing to do with the deterioration in tho antlers
OF the present day2 can remember the time
when no such thing WAS practised. and who will
dispute the fact that the heads were better then
than now? In my opinion the shed horns of
the deer is natures great tonic, seeing also that
they are SO fond of eating them"

BERNE, Switzerland. Sept. 21.-A mistake on
the part Of the Swiss detectives has caused
great annoyance to Mr.. George F. Curtis of

Mr.. Curtis was locked up in spite of his ener-
gstic protests. but later the production Of his

made to him for the unfortunate mistake.
Mr.. Curtis then went to Geneva. where tho
police made the same mistake IS to his identity.
and he was again locked up. II was i'm possible
for him TO convince tho authorities of Geneva

If we need not fear the productive
powers of the earth ever falling us,
we need never fear over-population,
for never was there a time when the
world could not support ten times
it's population. Forsooth! pessimis-
tic, political economists try to
make us believe that we are suffer
ing from over population, when the
state of Texas alone can support
half the population of these United
States. France, country less fer
tile and with no more resources
than the great Empire state OF the
West, supports at least forty mil
lion people. Never need the peo-
pie of the earth fear the ravages of
the cold while we have coal mines
already discovered sufficient to last
for thousands of years. Never
need the world fear lack of clothes,
as long as there are in the South
millions of acres of the choicest cot
ton lands uncultivated; never need
