MuMulleu's for a return showing tjj* expenses of the bare junketings abri'iiit of the luiuisters and trade cammissioaers was oppcsed by Sir JoLd Jiiicdouuld 111 such- an uuparlia mentary way that Mr. Laurier ttireat- oiied to divide tlie House, upon which itiie Premier agreed to allow Mr. Mc- Jlulltii'd tuotiLii to pass at a subse- quent ritage aud iu ii luodifted form. Mr. JiLCarlhy's bill to abolish the official use of Ereucli in the Northwest Territories is not so important as Mr, McCaiihy's speech. It was something of a surprise and was attentively listened to hy bcth sides of the House. The able ^jember lor North Simcoe reviewed the question of two hinguages mil two rces as affecting the whole Bouiiiiipi) aud took the ground that so long as Cauada recognized another â- official bntjuage beside English so long would national u;jiLv be wanting. He declined that most oi our difficul- ties were due to this racial cleavage which threatened to rend the Domin- ion ia twain ' He was several times intern] ptnl by the J^rench members whn displayed a good deal of feeling nu the subject. Mr. McCarthy warned them to let him alone as he had a right to his opinion aud intended to maintain it. When he spoke of the "conquest" of French Canada the French members suggested "cession" as a better word, but Mr. McCarthy thought hifi own expression better. Although he took high ground with fefpect to the whole Dominion it must KOt be forgotten tlat his bill applies to the Northwest only. The Prercjer ':vas evidently grieved at Mr. Mc(;flrthy's line of argament, and said it raised Fueh a grave issue that they must have time to consider ii- Mr. LiHurier's few remarks indi- «atefl tlias he did not regard the bill 'tself asa terrible affair but he disent- from many of the mover's atter- ances. Col. Denisnu. of Toronto, seconded tje bill and it passed it« first reading. When It comes up for its second read- mg there will be a big debate not secontl i;i interest to the great Jesuits "ebate of last session. How parties ^lU vote on it is as vet unknown. the issues raised by Mr. McCarthy "epei-baps greater than any raised 5"iec .Confederation. Jie 'lanking system was discussed oalnrday morning: between ahont .J'"y P^n-'inion bankers and the Min- istfr of Finance. A scheme of nation- ' currency was snggrested and con- nl emned. It was the general opinion, J'^ever, that the banks notes of one ^roviDee should be made a legal tand- ^^ in all. The government will also wobably provide in their forthcoming "i.a guarantee fand for the protection ' "ppositors and noteholders of any "K that closes its doors. The ^^aericar, Kystem nf government bonds » hasifi of circulation was generally J^n^emned by the bankers. Most of J ^Tiks wish the present system of «'^ctilp,tionl(.ftunaisturbed. At .J " " granted that every Markdaleite wishes to see hia viflage a fair bized prospering town i.i the near future. Now what are we doioR to accomplish this end Very little has been done so far. True our little affairs, such as sidewalks, roads and I'udges, ^.. e.. Hi-f. heing looked after better than they have ever been, but It will take corsiderable legislation 01 this sort lo affect the mowth of our village. What about that Commiitee which was formed to do their utmost to get some manufacturers to establish them- selves here. Duudalk is springing up in this direction aud it is likely they will succeed if they mean business and pull together. It is a well known fact that the great majority of the towns of Cauada owe their success to the:r nianufnctures. Take away the factories and what is lelt in a few old dry bones who hang ou for dear life to the little pile they may have made, afraid to spend one dollar until they see it yield a refund of 50 per cent, ready to cry down any new scheme eithtr financial, social or moral which has been started for the benefit of the village at laige. In writing tlie ab.Q.ve I am well aware o^ \yhat 8oc»e of our men, es- pecially the Xieeve has done in endeav- oring to secure a High School for this place also in regard to Railway mat- ters, but it is quite plain to all that if we do not make a start sometime in the direction which has been iudicated. Miirkdale will be left in the race. Thanking you Mr. Editor for yonr valuable space and trusting this subject may change from letter to an open question. 'Mabkdale an open Oomity Conncll.

At noon last Friday Mr. Neil Macdonald, of the 10th concession, Glenelg, was in his usual health and spirits. An hour later he was cold m death. He was working at the Glen- rodden saw mill. A sleigh load of saw logs had capsized, but nobody was hurt. fcfome time afterwards Mr. Macdonald wished to reach the other side of the spot where they lay and -tead of walking around the logs he started to cross them. Being on a side hill they started to roll the de- ceased lost his footing an.l was shot out Jii front of the logs which- rolled over him. Streams of blood shotirom his body, be was a corpse. His legs were broken in several places his shoulder blade was fractured and the side of hifi face broken in. The accident took place in the sight of several of the deceased's horrified fellow work- men, but they could have rendered no aid. The excitement for a time was intense. Mr. Macdonald was about fifty-five years, and leaves a f jmily of grown up children. His wife died three or tour years ago. â€" ^Durham Chronicle. XarkdaU Ibxkcta. WsDNESDAT, Jan. 29j.l889.
