For instance the ^Pinmittee r.n Priuting recommended gu lucreHse of salary to Mr. Botterell chief uf tlie Dh tributiou Office and the jjgii,ftr to the Frintipg Bureau of Mr. l^ov.'M of tlie same office, wbere- ijpni!

Mr. itnvot took occasion to declaim aoaitJit the slight put on his couutrj' liJeu aiid on his lai^yuage, instancing tiiefa-r, that, the Senate debates were pubiisiifi iu English alone. ttgain'?t vbicli i.o would move he said next It !.^ iikety that the Northwest Bill ffiltlo dropped this session again iu order lo head ott Messrs. McCanhy aud Ciiarlton from nitroducing the dual lani;uago and Separate School ameinlnients. The latter, especially ijRVfxed question in Ontario at pres- ent auJ neither party in the Hourfe will ciiro, in view of the Provincial ejeclioiis iu Ontario and Quebec to ex- pretri an opiuion on ihe matter. An addiii tual reason why this Bill which is m» in its committee stage will like- ly be droi)ped is a noiice of motion by Col. Aiayot a "Nationalist" to oppose the liiCid option given to the North- west Assembly after the next general election up there to abolish official French if they choose. If the fiery member from Bellechassa gets talking there's no telling what might follow. The condition of the Caraquet, N. B., Railway and the connection with it of its President Mr. K. T. Burns. M. P. for Gloucester, N. B., were dis- cnsced on the motion to go into Sup- ply, bringing out from the Premier the important announcement that no more hranch lines were to be consoli- dated with the International Ry. Another important announcement of Government jjolicy was made on Friday bj' Sir John Macdonald, yiz., that if the Ancericans reduce their import duty on sawn lumber to one dollar per thousand feet this Govern- ment will abolibh the export duty of ?2 a thousand feet on pine and spruce logs. Tlie iicKinley tariff reduces thpAmeriiMu import duty to §1.50, Imt it is ihonght they can be imluced to cut it dov,n still further to one do'ilnr. Still another announcement is of Kreat importance. It is that the im- ment-e triict of laud locked up to the C. P. K. in the Northwest from which the railway is to select the remainder I'f its laneis, will ]u-obably be thrown open to the world this year. The block comprises about nineteen million acres of land. The C. P. R will select their lauds from this reserve at once. Me rrs. Morrison, Greene, aud Bowers the Newfoundland delegates are now in the West. They have en- deavored to enlist the sj'mpathv of the Cauailian Government against French encroachment on the west coast. Mr. Dewduey stated that Canada has up to da^-e disposed of 65,000,000 ftcres of the public domain and had 78,000,000 acres left. C. P. 11. lands in Manitoba now sell at from $4 to §10 an acre. The special committee have recom- mended a trial of three new ballot boxes for use at elections and ask for permission to use them at bye elections as the Government decides. The Railway Statistics show an in- creased mileage but decreased earn- ings. For the ten expired months of the fiscal year there has been an ii^crease of Dominion revenue of $1,575,000. With closed doors on Friday the House discussed the badly managed restaurant of the Commons aud de- cided to adopt the English system and use the restaurant as a club. A scandal, exceeding in maguitaire and dwarfing the Rykert case, has been brought before the House in the case against Hon. Thomas McGreevy, M. P. for Quebec west, in connection \yith the Quebec Harbor contract. Sir Hector Langevin promptly prom- ised to lay the papers in the case on the table of the House and Mr. Mc- Greevy submitted a written statement denying the accusations, which inTolve a breach of the independence of Parli- anient, and declanng that the whole thing was a conspiracy hatched by his own brother and taken up by his po- litical associates As the ca8« has gone to the courts it will not be farther referred to in Parliament this session.

WorUiiff for God. â€" ^^â- T!*:' "There is hardly anything tiiat most of as need more than to get oar daily tasks into the shape of duty done trustfully and hopefully under God," says Rev. Lyman Abbott. "For most, the labors of hfe are drudgery; hard, heavy foil, early and late, hfting burdens, going tbrough the same wearying routine behind a counter or over hooks, rasped by close contract with the coarse and evil and weak side ot humau nature, bearing the sweet but tiresome burden of family lifeâ€" constint care for little children, imprisoned willingly and yet weari- somely within the walls ot home work and care, care aud work, year after year, often uncongenial, often unremunerative â€" such is the life of most of us. What we need is iu some way to get to feel that in all this we are doing God's will, and to trust him for the larger meaning and use there may be in these toils. When ihe servants at Cana were getting the water-pots together and filling them with water,. they little knew what they were doing except that they were doing what they were bid. But, doing that cheerfully, trustfully, sure that some- thing good would come of it, they were all ready for the unexpected but- come, and to perceive the glory that soon shone around them when their implicit obedience was justified. 1 think we may take the same view of our lives. I ihean that we may accept these drudging toils, these cares, these details, this dull routine, as im- posed by God, and may fulfill them in a spirit of trust and glad obedience. And I mean also that we may be sure some great and good results are to flow out of duty so done. If the pro- blems of life haunt us and its vanity teases us, here is the solution doing the work lying under our hands doing the thing we are bid to do," The MarMale Standard Is issued every Thursday, by C.W.
