French note ii pub'.iihed denying the
storv printed bv th* newspapers of Rome
to the offed that the Bey of Tunli had
issued a decree ordering all foreign em
plovea of the Tunii government to be

sired to retain their offices The note
declares thst the itory li the Invention of

SpeaUitu- of Salisbury's Cabinet Henry
Labouchere suv*, 'The present leam of
Ministers is-arid I sar this without party
-A poor lot. Mr. Smith ii a wor?
thy, decent sort of man; Mr. Balfour is
clever at r. p-trtte, and one or two others
have administrative ability- but I ahould
?av that the onlv one In whom there is
thi* making of a real Miniater is Mr.
Ritchie RriliiRncv disappeared from
their bench w hcu Lord Randolph left it."
Representative Thompson, of Ohio,
who was one of John Sherman's lieu?
tenants at the Chicago Convention in
.lune lust, denies that there was any deal
betweea the ohio Senator and llstrison
and A'iisori Mr Thompson emphaaiies
ihe tnt that Mr. Shermttn was in favor
of Mr Sherman's nomination, aud not
that of suv other man. The interview
- with Mr Sherman never iried
to Bulli air. other mun bul himself to the
Domination, but I can say that lie waa not
lORJ it was Harrison rind not another
whogot it." 4>r course he was not sorry
Blaine sot left, and ha will not weep ff
tin- Maine min is excludeal from Ilarri
? abiaet, as he will be.
i w vin A learned contemporary has
stiidis.l np Canada to far as to find out
tli.it in tba 'itv of Introit there are
8,100 carpenters. Six hundred of them
an- aliena from Canada, and they all ob?
tain work nt reduced wages, while 700
, who ara native ami to the manor horn"
, gel nothing to do because they insiat on
j n llviflg income
If the contract labor law were en
I enforced thees .'Nl natives would hsve
plenty to do. and competition with for
rs who have cut fifty or .eventy
Iflvs BBSta -BBB a dayl wage* would
1 cease.
Hers is ii'iother fact which ii worth a
paaetBg gian
Mil?hiirnn lumber dealers, for instance,
advertise in Canadian paper! for AOU or
1,000 men, and get thom by hook or by
. -generally tho latter. The law li
1 et a dud -alway* evaded-?and the Ameri*
ian woodchopper is choused out of a
job by a cheaper man.
