They are imminent only so far asthe Tariff Bill] brought down by Mr. Mills of Texas is concerned.

If you scan that measure carefully yeu will

It isa sufficient state- ment to go to Parliament, because this Parliament in the United States and the Executive in this country.

is ready to meet this proposition, because an invitation happens to be put in the President’s message. Again, it was stated that Mr. Bayard’s invitation to Sir Charles Tupper showed that they were ready for it. Mr. Bayard’s invitation to Sir Charles Tupper was previous to the conference.
position was made by Sir Charles Tupper on behalf of the British Commissioners that they should approach this matter on the basis of a general commercial adjustment between the two countries, and to that Mr, Bayard and his co-plenipotentiaries gave a decisive and categorical answer in the negative, and did it, why? Because, they said, in the present condition of affairs, it would be

which is necessary to give it life. Could anything more clearly show that the public opinion of the United States is not ripe for a proposition of this kind? The hon. gen- tleman again says that anvuther indication is Mr: Butterworth’s bill, and Mr. Hitt’s bill. J have not time to lay before you the documents that I have to show you the fact that, for years, bills and resolutions like Mr. Hitt’s and Mr. Butterworth’s, in all essential particulars, have been introduced over and over again in the Congress and in the Senate, and have never got further than a committee, or anadverse report from a committee. So these indications are not strong ones. He blames the Government, however, for having delayed to adjust the fishery question on Mr. Bayard’s _proposi- tion until the presidential year. The Gov- ernment of Canada delayed nothing. In 1885 they made a proposition, and the British Government made a proposition in their behalf, looking to a speedy conference between the two countries to undertake negotiations and settle this matter. That was pressed over and over again by Great Britain, and just sosoon asthe United States accepted this proposition, just so soon that proposition was taken advantage of by the British Government. But it was not delayed a single moment so far as Canada and Great Britain was concerned. It did happen to come off in the presiden- tial year, and for that my hon. friend finds fault with the Government. Yet he brings down a proposition asking Parliament to affirm a resolution in favor of a certain course, and instructing the Government, in this presidential year, here and now, to undertake negotiations with the United States in reference to that proposition. If a presidential year is bad in one respect for the negotiation of the treaty, why is it not bad in another respect? Now, I would rather liken my hon. friend to Homer than to do him the discourtesy of likening him, as one of his supporters did this afternoon, to Goliah.
An hon. Member.—Not Goliah, but Jove.
Mr. Foster.—The Jove of his party. But, likening him to Homer, we may well say that for once he has been found nod- ding. Now, Sir, having gone over these points, I beg simply to conclude by mak- ing one or two remarks with reference to a point which the hon. member for Queen’s, (Mr. Davies) brought up this afternoon. I am sorry he is not in his place in the House to hear my criticism. My hon. friend thought the Minister of the Interior was

‘gentlemen in his eye, and among them he
had probably the hon. member for Queen’s (Mr. Davies), and he was thinking about an utterance delivered by the hon. gentleman. Speaking at Charlottetown before the Board of Trade, not many weeks ago, the hon. member for Queen’s (Mr. vies) made this statement :
“ Under commercial union trade would flow freely between this country and the United States, as it now flows between the several States; while, as nst-the rest of the world there would be a uniform tariff, to be mutually 1 upon to two countries comprised in the union. ‘ Unrestricted Reciprocity’ would differ from commercial union in this respect: that while under it ther would be perfectly free trade between the two countries, each coun would retain the right to frame its own tart against the rest of the world. Canada, for in- stance, might havea 25 percent,jtariff. while that of the United States might be one of 35 per cent. The immediate consequence would be that im- ports to the United States, instead of being car- ried to the great ports of the United States, would be taken to the States by way of Montreal. To this the States, whose people are not arrant fools, would never consent. An unrestricted recipro-

Enforcing the Scott Act.
Srr,—I noticed in your daily issue of the 28th inst., several Scott Act convictions be- fore D. W. Palmer and Henry Wadman, J. P’s., of Victoria, Lot 29. Among the number I noticed Mrs. McNevin at Bonshaw.
Iam informed that Prosecutor Henderson engaged the services of a certain individual at Victoria to do the work, and paid hima stated sum for each conviction. This indivi- dual, not satisfied with summoning six or eight in Victoria, and three or more on the Green Road, Lot 30, but for fear none of those parties would be convicted, witha long steady stride ,he went his way to Bon- shaw, purchases some liquor as a_ traveller, and summonses the old lady mentioned. I call this a mean, contemptible piece of busi- ness. The distance from Crapaud to Charlotte- town is 25 miles, and from Tryon 30 miies ; and parties going .to Charlottetown trom either of those places in winter requires some place to call and get warmed of a cold day, and Mrs. McNevin’s house was always open to persons travelling, and if Mrs. McNevin did keep a little brandy for travellers no per- son but an idiot could complain. The ple of Bonshaw did not complain, and surely the travelling public could not utter a word.
Mrs. McNevin was in the habit of selling liquor openly to every one that came along, and gave it to parties that did not require it, then | say the law should take its course. But such was not the case; she sold no liquor to parties who did not require it, or who was under the influence of liquor, but she keeps a respectable house, and a good respectable fire for travellers; and more, Mrs, MeNevin would get up out of bed any hour in the night and kindle a fire to accommodate travellers. Then, I say, to make this kind old lady victim was nothing short of a mean, con- temptible piece of villiany.
Since writing the above I have been in- formed that not one conviction was obtained against the parties summoned in Victoria, hence the onslaught on a poor old widow woman for sunds.

A new anecdote of the kind-hearted Queen of the Belgians describes her as lately driving leisurely through a Brussels avenue when she noticed a man beating a dog who was attempting to draw a heavily loaded barrow. Queen Maric at once stopped her carriage, and dispatched the footman to a gendarme, who brought the offender up to the carriage, where he was sharply rebuked by Her Majesty.
