Lieutenant Governor Angers did this because, in his opinion, the administration of Mr. Mercier was prompted by “‘corrupt partizan and unworthy motives, and not by regard to the honor of the Crown or the w and advancement of the community at large." On identically the same ground, Lieutenant- Governor Carvell reserved the Gerrymapn- der-F ranchise Deprivation M rtgage Vote Bill of the Peters Combination; and his ac- sion will be vindicated as the action of Lieutenant-Governor Angers was vindicat

Lieutenant Governor Carvel) virtually said to Mr. Peters, ** You muat either accept the responsib lity of my refusal to assent to your measure, or go about your (private) business.” Yet Mr. Peters clings to his public office, while his friends in Parliament and his organs here are inspired to criticise and misrepresent the Lieutenant-Governor’s action. The case is unique. Though his resignation would necessitate an immediate appeal to the people, anda final decision upon the matter in dispute between the Lieutenant Governor and himself, Mr. Peters con- tinues in office in order that he may be able to ** fix King’s County” and ** make Char lottetown all right for the Grits’ and take away the politics! influence of farmers

—According to a London despatch the Par-| nellites express a hesitant epproval of the Irish home rule bill, though they are dissatis- | fied with the proposal to reteia the land under English jurisdiction tor three years. Glad stone's frankness in anticipating hostile critic« ism is regarded as excellent strategy, and is looked upon in manv guarters as tantamount to spiking the enemy's guns. It is generaily sdmitted that the bill will be allowed to pass « econd reading with little or no opposi ion, and the real fight be reserved for the fina stages.

Mr. Bartlett's Lecture on “Paris.” |
Mr. Bartlett carried his audience, in imagination, to the Gay Capital and en- »bled them, in the light oi Me. L. Hazird’s lantern, to look upon the splendid monuments, churches, palaces and public buildings, the beautiful streets and public quares and parks and gardens with which | succeeding ages of Frenchmen have lelighted to embellish her. At the same time he read a ske ch of Parisian history from the time of Julius Cesar. The lecture was so interesting and altogether delightful that little heed was taken of the coldness of the room. Mr. Bartlett has by his discourse upon Paris distinctly enhanced his excellent reputation as a_ lecturer. There was a large audience. The Rev Mr. Fullerton occupied the chair and con- | veyed to the lecturer the enthusiastic vote of thanks which was moved by Mr. T. C James and seconded by Mr. Artemas Lord_|

Dominion Rifle Association. Colonel Gibson President
A Change of Rifle in all the Matches.
Orrawa, Feb. 22.
At a meeting of the Dominion Rifle As- sociation held yesterday Lieut.-Col. Gib- son was elected President, in the place of Lieutenant-Governor Kirkpatrick who had resigned. : A comman‘cation was read by Col. Til- ton from the New Brunswick Association urging the adoption of the Martini-Henri rifls at all the matches. Col. Tilten strong- ly endorsed the request, and at a subse- quent meeting of theCouncil it was resolved that the Martini only should be used at Dominion rifle meetings, This means that all the provincial associations wil] have to fall into line. ~ a
Major-General Herbert did not agree with doing‘ away with the Snider rifle at competitions 4s long as the militia was armed with it. As regards the arming of the foree, the General favored not the Martini as it is now, but the Martini con- verted into a small-bore weapon, like the Lee-Metford, with magazine attachment. The cost of such an arm would be little more than the simple re-arming with the Martini

DOMINION PARLIAMENT, The Coal Deal Again.
Orrawa, Feb. 22.
As soon as the House of Commons open- ed yesterday Dalton McCarthy presented about a trunkful of petitions signed by sev- eral thousand members of the Patrons of Industry, ete., in favor of free binder twine free oil, etc.
Before the Budget debate was resumed, Mr. McNeil, of North Bruce, arose to a personal explanstion, and calling attention to some remarks in the Toronte Empire, anent the recent discussion of the visit of the Speakerand some others to Lord Stanley on the imperial aspect of the Nova Scotia coal deal, quoted the Hansard report of the discussion to show that Sir John Thomp- son had neither poked fun at the deloga- tion, nor endorsed Mr, Mili’s contention, that they had run a tilt against the British consti’ ution.
Dr. Weldon followed Mr. McNeill and endorsed his remarks. He explained that the flippancy of his remarks in that debate were due toa failure to apprehend that Mr. Mills was seriously raising a constitu- tional = question. So far from their visit to Lord Stanley being an
act of disrespect to their leader, he and his associates had pre- viously discussed the Canadian
aspect of the case with the Premier, and afterwards with the Finance Minister, each of whom received them most cordially. He reiterated his statement of a few days ago, that tha delegstes were within their rights in calling on Lord Stanley and intimated that the house had not yet heard the last of the matter.
Messrs. Bilbey, Monette and Dr. Sproule continued the budget debate till six o’clock.
The budget debate was continued after re- cess by McMillan, of Huron, Dr. Bergin and Messrs. Tarte and Earle, and cl a little after midnight, Mr. Smith moving the ad- journment of the debate. The See then rose. Mr. Reid claimed that he had been elected fox teriff reform and made a general at- tack on the Government, and particularly on Sir Adolyh Caron.
