The. past. week has been marked by several important public addresses by leading men on both sides of the politâ€" ical font-c. and with the session 4 f Par- liamcut. not two \vecks off, there is a seething and bubbling of the cauldron which promises lively timcs in the legislative halls when once the ranks close in the baiilc. First there is a meeting at. Sher- brookc. Quebec, where Sir \Vill'rid sci forth in most uumislakeablc terms his position and thc position of his (lov- crnmcui. on Imperial maltch and his estimatc of the miscrablc attempts be- ing made in some quarters to stir up racial and religious discord :h“ “'c belicvc it our duty ” he said “ as a British colony to take part in this war, and to pcrtuit. 2000 Canadian volunâ€" teers to enlist. in the English army and to fight for the mother country. WE ARE A FREE COUNTRY. ours is a constitutional govcrnmcnt. and our duty is to put into execution the popular will and the moment; the popular will was known to us. we had but one duty to discharge and we disâ€" (vharged it of our own free will. There was no power to constrain us to act as we did; butin the plenitudc of our legislative independence we had the right to reply to the popular will maniâ€" fested to us. “'0 did not do it for the purpose of lending,r England a. material aid which she did not need, but we rc- joiccd at the opportunity of giving in the world a sin-clash) never sccu beâ€" foreâ€"{he spectacle of the colonit‘s bcâ€" hiud the mother countryâ€"and that. wc could not remain indiii'crent. whcu England had a war with one of he: enemies.” To those who would set race against raCc and ct-ecd against crced he said : “ Is there. not in this country enough liberty, justice and enlightenment ? liave not all an (rqual share of happi- ncss and prosperity P ls thcrc not room in this country for a. great nation ? 1.9 there not room enough for each of us to preserve the, pi ide of his origin and at the same time to aspire- to great things in the future?" The country will be slow to helich ill of a man who is ready to speak thus candid- ly but unequivocally at. all times and that is just the. reputation Sir \‘fib frid Laurii-r has. NO CAUSE FUR ALAini HERE. On the same occasion Hon. Sidney Fisher, Minister of Agricultural, ap- pealed to his hears-ls to say, \\ hcthcr the historic pvt-diction that the acccsâ€" ion of tho Liberals to power would deâ€" stroy Canadian industries and ruin the home market had becu verified. 1'11- der Liberal administration Slit-r- ‘orooke‘s factories were humming as they had ucvcr done. before. Had the farmers, he asked, ever received twelve cents a, pound for their chccse before? The fact was that for butter. cheese. and all agricultural products they rc- ceived better prices than ever before. In eighteen years of Conservative Govâ€" - ernment the trade of Canada increas- cd $18,660,000as compared with $82,- 635,000 under only three and a. half ycars of Liberal Government. In 1896 the average tariff was 22 per cent ; toâ€" day it is about 20 per cent. If the tariif 0f the. last (Joust-native ymr were stilliu force an additional sum of $3,000,000 would have bccu taken" from the people. By the Fielding tariff the. sum of $3,000,000 wAs SAVED to the pcople last year. Having rc- fcrred to the development of the Yu- kon. on the principle that thc Yukon ,must pay for itsclf, he pointed out that last year for the first time the luâ€" tei'colouial under Mr. Blair’s mauagc- mcnt showed a surplus as a result of extending the road to Montreal. -ir. Fisher next defended the administra~ tiun of his own department. In reply to tho sneer-s of Sir (‘harlcs Tuppcr , that the cold-storage system was out of date, he read a resolution of the Montreal Butter and L'hecsc Associa- ' 'tiou thanking,r the (-lmcrmumrt for the, Hc Sl‘t‘lll'- V system and approvng of it. (-d the abolition of the United Stall-s quarantine, thus giving (‘auadians 1 access for thcir cattle with the result, .HlCHMlliVD HILL 8: THORNHIIL: that every animal thc farmers wants-d to sell was Sold at a price. previously i Under the four and one- years quarantine 3,762 animals uuk nowu. half éwcrc exported valued at Silt‘lltl. 111 two and one half ycars siucc quaranâ€" iuto the United States. oPâ€"fir Sergeant Fury.

Htccle. the sccoud iu commanud of the North \Vcst Mounted Police. Contingent. and in this; article. our cstcomed citizen, who is rrl'crrcd to as Serge-ant Fury, is shown to havc been a man of cour- age and determination. 011 one occas- ion, in 18345. he was sent. to suppress a. strike in the North “'cst when Col- Steele was suffering from typhoid fever. The following." is taken from the article in question: “’l‘hcre were. in the neighborhood about 1.700 ‘ bad ineu'~gamblcrs. sharps and otln-rs, who lived upon flceciug the workmen. These fellows attempch to provoke a riot on the part of the strikers, and things began to look \'(‘I y cloudy. Col. Steele had been forced a day or two previous to thc events to be (le'sm-ibcd to take to his llt'tl, suffering from typhoid fever. One 'morning his sergeant, a most valuable man, named Fury, who had scrvcd in an Irish rcgitm-ut and was afraid of nothing. came to his sick bed with the information that Hughie ichau. a despcrado, who had to his credit the deaths of three men in A1“ kausaw tho prcvious winter, had been found inciting the strikers to riot. and that Davidson, in attemptingatarre-st lichau, had been badly handled and forced to relcasc his prisoner. Col. Steele ordered Fury to take sufficient force to arrest Bchan, and to shoot. if necessary. Fury did so, and with the aid of his men was dragging Behan to jail, when ho was attacked by the crowd of Ii‘chau‘s sympathizcrs and forced to lit-c, shooting one man in the shoulder. This cxcited the crowd still morc. butjust then Colonel Steele apâ€" pcarcd ou the scene. armed with a \‘Cincht-ster. Uudaunted by his ill- ness, he had ripen from his bed, dress- t‘d and staggcrcd down to the little bridge which lay between the jail and the spot where the mob was collected. Addressing: the int-u, who greeted his appearance with curses and derisivc shouts, he quicily told them that he would shoot down without hesitation the first man who made a motion to draw a pistol: that Magistrate Hope Johnston was about to read the riot act, and that the police Would immed- iately after fire on any party of more than 1‘2. mun. The-re was but nine of thcm, but the dcspcradms must rc- mcmbcr that everyone would die in his tracks lit-fore the mob would be al- lowcd to l't‘nl'tlt‘ Behauâ€"whn. by this time, had been carried across the l)l'l(l){l‘. “ \Vhile the mob stood scowling a few feet. away, .‘Jagistrate Johnston rcad the Riot Act. .The crowd, most of whom were Americans, had heard a good tlcal about British law, and when they heard it expounded by Mr. Johnston, and lookcclat nine magazine rifles that stood between them and l Bellan, they first hesitated, and then melti-d quit-tly away. " That night an cngiue was backed t0 thejail, lichau was put on board, and takcn up the line (50 miles, so that. any attempt at his rescue would have been futile. This did not finish the game, howr-ver, for the next mornng Fury and his men went into the camp of the cncmy, and carried off 20 of the ringleadcrs to fail. Colonel Stccle and Mr. Johnston held court at once. and sentenced each man to a fine of $100 and six months at hard labor. Then taking an engine, they went to where Behan was imprisoned, and ‘meted out the same punishment to l him."
