(4.) They have cheerfully and warmly

supported the Dominion Government in their pitriotic National Policy of opening up the great Northwest and the Pacilic Coast of Canada by means of the Canadian Pacitiz Riilway®ven though it was strongly represented to them by the Oppvsition, that this Province could obtain no advan- tage whatever from the enormous outlay of public moncy necessary to carry out that policy ; and they have, therefore, establish- ela strong claim upon the Dominion Gov- smment and upon the Western Provinces fC nada to be treate] with favorable con-

sderation in regard to their claim for the

establis! ut of means of constant and speely comm aication between this Prov- ince ani the Miuinland.

(6). They have obtained a survey of. the bottom of the Strait, which proves that the gra lien‘. are easy, and that fine brick clay isthe substance in which the Subway, if constructed, will be laid.

Standing in this strong pesition, with so much gained, it will Liberal ©

mservatives of this Province to rest on their oars and permit the Grit

project to end in failure, merely because |

who have not looked imto. the matter, may

representative gentlemen at Ottawa,

choose to pooh! pooh !! it as a ‘“‘visionary

scheme. It is, in our opinion, of vital

importance that tLe Liberal Conservativ« delegite. in convention should give strong expres the opinion of their Party in tl Provines respecting it, and that they should ‘only men who are able and preparcd to advocate it in Parliament, and

to defend it against all opposition from whatever source—unless, indeed, such op- posion bo backed up by the adverse re- port of a board of competent engineers.

There are several other questions Particularly interesting to the Province

“Mind Your P’s and Q's.”

Tue popularity of the Rev. Job Shenton as a lecturer was evidenced by the large

audience assembled in Y. M. C. A. Hall lastevening. Mr. Justice Hensley pre

sided. Ina brief and happy introduction, | Mr. Shenton explained the meaning of anum- ber of apt phases in common use, and, Jast lof all, that of “* Mind Your P’s and Q's.” | Some years ago there lived ina village of | England, a bar-keeper-—not a literate per- son—-who used to score the purchases of those of her customers who obtained credit on the door,—‘* P.” meaning “pint,” and **Q.” “quart ;” so that if the neighbors saw ** Tom Jones ” too often intoxicated, a friendly one among them would go to him ‘and say ** Mind Your P’s and Q’s Tom ;” | whileothers would remark, ‘‘Tomisnot mind- jing his ** P's. and Q's.” Mr. Shenton did ‘not, however, lecture on temperance, but ‘on the necessity of * minding your P’s. jand Q’s,”—(1) in forming the habits and character when young ; (2) in obtaining a | helpmete--woving, weddimg, ete. ; (3) in , conducting the business of life ; (4) in the ;matter of politics. Under ~ the latter | heading, he dealt a hard blow at those who ‘try to mislead the public by ‘* fanciful financial figures,” and laid down a platform of which the three main planks were _** Progress,” ** Principle” and ** Patriot- ‘iam.” The lecture was at once amusing, interesting and full of sound philosophy. At the close, Mr. Shenton was heartily ap- plauded.
