Mr. Jjaurier, lioiweveti declaimed himself opposed to tho priuei- pie uf manljood suffrage. TLe M»u. J. A. Chapleau, Secretaty of oiuie, was tae cUittf expoaent of the view* of tlie Government. He Utohkred for ft national franchise framed by the ustioaai piirhauienl based ou the priuci#le of uuiforuuty. Ha hoped ijjsy Blight be able to simplify the machinery and also reduce the cost, fle' gave the cost of the hrst revision iu 1«8G as $4iy.(iOO and of the second, m 1889, as |152,U00. He did not think it ueceEsary to have au annual levisiou 'jf the voters hsts. The (iibcussiou lasted three. days a number of Ministerialists responding later ou to the invitation and warmly Uifendiug the Ace. The appointment to the Senate of â- a-Lieut. Governor Masson to succeed •iLe lute M. Rodier is a very popular tjue. A inoderiUe man, of higU ohar^ sicter, Mr. Mas^^on has the respect of both the great political parties. He was bir John Macdonald's first Min- ister uf Militia m 1878 but resigned in W80 ou account of ill health, and was •called to the Senate iu 1882, a position he resi^^ued m 884 to become Lieut. Governor of Quebec. He is bow summoned back to the sphere he then left. Dnday evening saw the first lively «C9nes of the session altho' the session was three Aveeks old. It arose in Com- miititi ot tSupply over a statement sahmitted on Tuesday by Hon. C. H. Topper as to the expenditure under the different governments for advertis- ing in and subscriptions to news- papers. The Opposition charged that ibe statement was misleading and in- lentionalJy so. This brought yonng Tupper to his feet with au explanation that his statement was ouly intended to be partial and he had said so at the time. Finally Dr. Landerkin began to bacier the Minister of Marine about liis father, the High Commissioner, and used the term "falsehood" as applicable to Mr. Tupper's action. Ytuufj Tupper's blood was now up and iie taunted the witty doctor with being ihe buffoon of the House and declared lus kuguage more tit for a bar-room than for Pariiarueut. Lauderkin, who *ould joke on his deathbed, again proved nis title to be the jester of the House, alter which the pot was allow- «â- 'â-  lo simmer down, but only for a lew minutes. This time the Opposition started in to badger Sir Adolphe Caron, Minister "' Miliiia, over his travelling expenses, and Dr. Wilson was wicked enough to. ^f^^ t= some certain trip of Sir AJoJpJie's to the sea side with a fair lellow traveller. At this the Minister '^ose quiukiv to his feet and liotily re- sented Dr. Wilson's insolence. A ^abbub followed and Mr. Launer ask- «1 that the word should be retracted. ^ir Adolphe contintied speaking not- withstanding that SirJohnJ)d[«cd6nald l^eqneuUy motioned him to sit down. "^ir Adolphe was naturally angry and "6 told the chairman that he would jot retract, but m a feiV minutes at Pje Premiers command he did so. ytof the Ministeriau«ts enjoyed Su: ^°'N«'s predicament as he is disliked y the Onuirio men. The Premier too |«"nly showed that he was angry at '"e inimster's method of zneetiog the J^^ of tlie Oppositiou bees, as in j^"ttee of supply all the other Miii- pts exhibit an even temper and » ^^'Position to fnrnih aU; proper "'nu^tion. • tlj^^"«sday (to-mon-ow) is fixed Jbt,: --.J^f 'iiscn88ion on dual langoaees jwhalton McCarthy's bill.

The shoddy pedlar nuisance has also visited this neighborhood and clings with even greater tenacity than even the Russian influenza. We visited the premises of Mr. Jas. Bell recently and were much pleased with what we saw. Mr. B. has a lot of the finest horses we have seen. His spacious, substantial and yery com- fortable out- buildings are indeed worth a visit. The sheep house, hog pen and henery are his own handiwork and second to none in the country. We also saw his bees they are doing well. More Anon. Karkaway. Xaxwoll. litandard Corretpojidenee. The suow storm on Frida3' and Saturday has given us sleighing again and we hope it will make times livelier. Notwithstanding the lavages of la grippe the population of this town continues to increase. Mrs. W. H. Guy has just presented her husband with a "girl baby." Please accept congratulations friend Harry: Mr. Hutchinson, of Dundalk, occu pied the pulpit in the Methodist church Sunday evening, the lOth inst., but la grippe occupied the attention of a large share of the congregation. Death has again visited us. Mrs. Wm. PhiUips died of inflammation of the bowels on Monday, the 10th inst. This neighborhood has been this week called upon to mourn the death of an old and respected citizen in the person of Mr. E. W. Moore, who died on Sunday last, aged 63 years. Mr. M. had been ailing for over a year, but was in usual health up to two day^ before his death. The funeral on Tuesday was largely attended when the Rev. Mr. Bnggin preached an appropriate sermon to a large ftnd appreciative audience. La Grippe has been quite general, and many have reason to rpmember his unwelcome visit for many a day. Mr. Joseph Halbert joins the army of benedicts on Wednesday, 12th. Miss Maggie Taylor being the happy bride. Our respected young friends have our congratulations.
