well simulated fury in the Council Cham- ber on Monday night. Unless Charles H. does some'thine'in this way he is nothing. The Mayor s motion, ointrodluced by Mr. Gross, commending theiC. P. R. -Co, for ef- forts to draw immigrants to ou'r._own ter- fritory, rather than have any A go to the l States, aciedoupon the ex Reeve like -a red rag upon an pfpfuriated bull. Ml`. Ross opened a oodgate of T'. i'd3 P03 the man who so badly beat him last J'a!?ll- ary. V In Mr. `B028 estimation it was a dreadful crime to attempt to get-the coun- cil to say a word in favour of our great national work. He instituted unfavor- able comparisons between the C. P R, car and its contents, and t-he Dakota one which came here some tnue ago, and then with his usual inconsistency called Mr. 1. -ailev a Yankee humbug, and expressed a doubt about the things. beingtheiprc- ductions of the North West at all. The algsurdityiand folly of Charles II. in this rodomontadc`could hardly be exceeded, and was in strong contrast with the "calm, reasonable and patriotic expressions of his worship the Mayor. We are in a. posi- tion to tell Mr. Ross, that Mr`. Bailey the -nu: ax-nmmvn: Ann iwnafr can, The ex~Reeve worked himself "up into a , manager of the car; is not a Yankee as he avers. but a native of Ontario, and now a citizen of Brandon, Manitoba, and the proprietor of the Brandon Observer, a. Yankee can with Yankee productionsbeen on exhibition here, with inducements to settlers to go to the other side, the in- ference from the ex-Reeve s opposition to the P. R. exhibition, is, that he would have been willing to have supported a motion as long as his arm, commending it, but anything favoring the Great North West and the good of the Dominion at large, produces the same effect. on Mr. toss as theexecution of`Ricl on Philoso- n pher Mills. Of course there is no politi- paper published in that town. Had a cal feeling: in the town council, of course I nbt. o PARTY GOVERNMENT. Anybody who believes that a Govern- ment can be carried on in a free country . without party is laboring under a most manifest delusion. But party as we have. of late seen it on both sides of the lakes, sadly needs reorganizing. The course taken by the Globe, and those -that, act with it, of abusing the party in power no matter what they do, and opposing every" thing they do, i whatever it is, seems in the eyes of all honest men a nuisance which ought to be abated. Instead of-be- ing a corrective and a wholesome check to the party in power, it loses its inu- (nee and is a public injury of a most dan- gerous uatuie. Many stand out from party as the result, take what is called an indcimrdent position, and become what. our Southern neighbors facetiimsly call Mugwumps. Mugwumpery may do some .good, but as Mugwumpery per se, it is a` valueless factor in any government. A (Jovernment without party is indanger of abuses which cannot occur with party government watched by an honest opposi- tion having a well dened policy. But when there is r.op'ol1cy but office and .no higher aim than to support rebellion, if by so doing it can defeat its opponents, it is no wonder that men lose faith in -party and assume the Mugwump role. Party government will always prevail in free States, and it is the duty of all good men to free it from those abuses which of late have brought it so much into disre- pute. : SENATOR GOWAN. Senator (_}owan bv his activity in `the. Senate has proved the wisdom of Sir John M acdonald in calling himfto a seat in the Canadian House of Lords. He is doing his share at any rate to prove that the Senate is not the useless body that some of the Grit sore heads try to make them- selves believe. The speech` delivered a short time ago in the Senate Chamber by Hon. Senator Gowau, and which will the found in this issueof the ADVANCE, will show the nature of the legislation. which he is endeavoring to bring about. .Should the bill becomelaw, an important step will have been gained in securing sub- stantial jnstico in spite of the mistakes of our mag strates. We see also that Senator Gowan has introduced a bill having `refer- ence to pawnbrokers, and is designed to curb the greed of this class of money lenders. The country has reason, to be proud of a Senator so able and so willing- to work for the general good as our vener- able townsman Senator_ Gowan. _.,._. .,...;_... . comivnxmnliii-Any 'r;cxn:'rs., .

' This seems to be an age of destruction, and the chief motives are prot and plea.- sure, Alarm hes excited the thought! mil. to action, Hand legislation is invoked to check and curb this unfortunate propen- sity. Forests are being swept away for the lumberman present` gain`, and it wail is heard through t-11819116, `.`0h. Woodman, spare that tree. ` Destructive oods and barren lands are ` prophesied as the result ot the fearful forest waste` now going on. rnu g Q, Then fashion is creating a slaughter of ` the feathered tribes to an extent which thruateus utter extinction to many of our , birds. Millions of birds are destroyed` every year to gratify the craze for these bonnet ornaments. So great is the dc! ma.nd_ that sg_me species of Birdslliave al- most disappeared over great" _areas of country in'; the United States. ' The tern." , the head of which is so popular an orn_a- ment in female" head-gear has been so` mercilessly pursued, that for hundreds of miles along the Atlantic coast, it has al- most disappeared, and at the present rate of slaughter, will soon be as rare as the p dodo and apteryx. With the disappear } ance ot so manyof our birds, a large num~ l ber of which are insectivnrous, there will be an increase of destructive `insects. by which cereals and fruits will be endang- ered. Itpis a wonder that" the e govern- ment of the United States has not ere this i done somethingto prevent this wholesale i distruction of birds, and a still greater wonder that women will allow, their love , for personal adornment to produce such a wanton destruction of life. Vanitv and greed,` however, do not stop to reason about the results of their doings. `that some one will be at the head of the `British government with -the wisdom, '1-an cnoub IN ram msr. There is a dark war cloud again in the east. Greece is determined to have. war with Turkey, and the authorities at `Con- stantinople say that war is inevitable. While Greece can put into the eld less than 90,000 men, Turkey. is prepared at once to. confront these with 200,000 men. Russia. of course is urgingvGreece in the c_ourse she is pur- suing, thinking, no doubt, thetime oppor- tune to test the vitality of the sick man. Gladstone is again in power, and the Cza.r s advisers fancy they can do about as they please without any of Britain s in- terference. It is true that activity is visible in British military and naval circles, indicative `ofthe fact that Eastern matters are more than usually `serious. Russia has assured England of her pacic and lamb-like disposition, and that she hasnot the remotest intention of disturb- , ing the peace of Europe. At the same time she is thrcating to occupy Eastern Bulgaria. Not the least reliance can be placed upon the A diplomatic" assertions of Russia. Just before 4 she, Prussia and Austria pounced upon Poland` and. robbed that power of half its territory, Russia solemnly declared te England that there was not the slightest intention to interfere in the affairs of that unfortunate country,` while at the same time the three national plunderers were just ready to begin their work of spoliation. A secret treaty ex,-_' isted between those powere ; the territory each was to take had - been agreed upon, and everything was ready for that most disgraceful act of wrong and national rob- bery, and British statesmen were entirely hoodwinked and unconscious of the con- spiracy against the brave Poles till the storm broke upon the astonished nations of Europe. clt really seems that the troubles in England's domestic `political circle will induce Russia to commence that struggle for the possession of Con- stantinople for whichshe has been pre- paring so long. When the time comes, which cannot lone` be delayed, to deter- mine whether Saxon civilization or _Russian despotism shallprevail in Asia and in the -territory `occupied -by the doomed Turkish empire, it is to be hoped the courageand the skillinecessary for the occasion. Mr. `Gladstone is `not the man. It needs something more than oratorv and nancial ability to. guide the ` ship of state through the perilous `waters ofagrueatforeign war. a ' - - ' ' . snmvron rmrm. That re eating Maine legislator, Sen- ator Frye, is becoming desperate because the Dominion Government is preparing te protect our sheries from the New England sh stealers. He Threatens .to introduce a bill to close American `ports . to Canadian shipping the moment one of the-_ American shing vessel: has been seized. Senator Fryehae no `need to fear that any American vessel will be inter- fered with as long as she is not encroach- ing upon Canadian waters. `but all the Senator s.bluster will not deter the Do- zninion authorities from protecting Cana- dian rights. It is a satisfaction to know that Senator Frye bag but few sympathiz- |e:'a in the American Senate. _. , mason irnounmns. Thelaboritroubles in the South-West have resulted in a collision betwenthe strikers and the authorities and the death of a number of men. This is deeply to be regrettedior the sake of all concerned. It is too late in the ' day for either party in this labor and capital question to assume to settle it by force. It is neces- sary to sustain the `law, and it is quite as necessary to give laborit-s proper re ward. Arbitration and mutual concession will do more to settle the difculties than any amount of force and violence or quoting so-called commercial axioms which _the peculiar circumstances of the times make null and void. Labor must be better paid and capital `must be content with less Drotsa The workman gains nothing by Vi0l. .?nce nor" does the employer for- ward his own interests by an unreasonable display of authority. Both parties must learn to yield something to the other. A Fight with the Strikers.

A Tllere isrno occupation more darxgerous than that of.the railway hrakesxnan, and none for whom there_ are less safe-guards against theperils to which he is constant. ly exposed. Scarcely a day passes that we do not hear of the death of one of this class of men . It is stated that over 15,000 persons are annually injured _in the United States by coupling cars alone. During" 1884, in England, 130 men were killed and over 1,300 injured while be- tween the cars. Should any disease ap- pear in any part of the country producing the "death of as many persons as "are an- nually killed in coupling cars, legislation would be invoked and all the skill of the medical profession would be directed to prevent such a sacrice of life. But the brakesman is permitted to go to his death almost without notice, and but little is attempted to lessen the dangers of his oc- cupation. One would think it would be `possible to attach to" cars a.u_tom::.tie couplers to prevent the necessity of going between them to perform the operation of coupling. From time to time a good many contriyances of. this nature have been invented, but the cost of attaching them to the cars has prevented them going into use. ,It would, of course, be entirely out `of place for the prots of,rail- way companies to be lessened to save the lives of their employes. . It seems strange too, that some means have not been pro- videdlong ago to render the walking on the tops of carswhen covered with ice a little less hazardous. Factory men have been compelled to do much tolessen the but railway companies are permitted to do pretty much as they please. A Bill has been introduced into. the Hcuse of Commons in England to provide for the greater safety of railway travelling. ; A law was enacted in New York two years ago, which provides that after the first day of [July next all new freight cars built or purchased -by any company in that state must be provided with some sort of `automatic coupler. There is a similar law in "force in Massachusetts. That is what we needsin this Dominion, and if Mr. `McCarthy s Railway Com- mission Bill becomes law no doubt the powers of the commissioners will be suffi- ciently large to enforce the adoption of ii. measure so absolutely necessary. - 1' run Bakers.
