FRIDAY, DECEMBER 5, 1884,
A CIRCIIMsTANCr4 showing the force of
public sentiment is the acceptance now
of Gladstone's Franchise 13111; (sortie time
since rejected by the House of Lords)
both by the Conservative party and the
House of Lords. It has passed its second
reading, and, on the whole gives general
satisfaction in the House, though, some of
the details are opposed by the Conserva-
tive party.
MR. ALLIsoy has been renominated to
contest Lennox in the Liberal interest,
His speech to the Convention was manly
andstraightfoward. He denied any know.
ledge:of corruption in the former election,
he declared his intention to fight the fl&xt
battle fairly, and he enjoined his support-
ers to do the same, Cannot the Tories :be
persuaded, for oboe, to meet their Oppo
nents on that 'ground 2 It Would:be a de-
cidedly new departure for them.
Ir the government can remove theh'ard
times as they promised they could, :they
have a splendid chance to do it now,
Hard times certainly exist;' no one denies.
this. Let the government show. itself
equal to the occasion -if they can.. If pro
tection makes times better, clap on more
'IsrotecLion. The people who blindly be
1Ieved yhe present government, to C.yare-:.
minded patriots, are beginning to see they
are hypocrites; those who hitherto regard-
ed then] as honest men, find them to be.
rogues, for they glibly promised 1t.positive
cure for all commercial ilia, but have fail-
ed to effect it.
SEVERAL anti -Scott Act papers 'have
intimated that at its next session the Do-
minion government will introduce a mea-
sure allowing beer and light -wines to.be
drank in oountics .passing the Scott Act,,
If this is done, it will:destroy entirely the
et -Teets of the Scott Act, but -While- there
are several members of the ministry, who,;
doubtless, would favor such a measure, -
we doubt very much if Sir John,•with.his
well known anti -temperance .leanings;
even, would allow it to -become .law, He
has sufficient 'sense to know that such an
act would not be popular, and just, now'
he is not goingto run in the face of.pub-•
Ile sentiment. The ministry, as it whole,•
are not, favorable to temperance legisla-
Lion, and even Sir Leonard Tilley,- who.
owes lnuch of his popularity. to his form-•
er position as a temperance advocate, bas,
apparently, to' a certain extent; joined
with the )ichor interest. • But, should the
•gatrerninient give way to the detiands of
the Anti -Scott Act party, which weshould,'.
ibe:sorry to see, they will ;Alienate many •
.of their warmest supporters.
Silt 9ilrcnARD CAXITWRIGHT delivered
a, telling' and decidedly effective political
address, in Montreallast Friday evening,
under the . auspices of tan Young Men's
Reform Club, Sir Richard ;is one of the
best speakers in Canada. _ He can unmask
.a humbug most effectually; alld he is noW
in the position to say to the Tories: "I'
told you 80," and to prose his pointevery
(liurl. When the protection ,wave was
rolling w th full force, Sir Richard fore-
told what the ebb would he, He foresaw
the glutted markets, the dearth of em
ployment,the'rednetion of wages, and the
poverty that always follows. oppressive
taxation. He made no comprenlise• lvjtli
the, powers of evil. He told 11,<•aedonald
and Tilley that they were Wrong, and the
event has proved that he was right;. We
like the man because he has Blear' judg-'
ment and courage to stand up foriwllat he
knows to be 'right, and et 'e like him,. too,
on account of the enemies he has made,
for 11,o reason that he has been honest' in

Successful and Entertaining Services,
"A dreary -place would be thls earth,
Were there no little people in it ; •
The song of lite would lose its mirth,
were there net chndren to begin it;"
• In order to make the services: connected
with the anniversary of the Clinton. Ratteu•
bury street Methodist Sabbath School as in-
teresting and profitable as usual, the assist-
ance of Rev. K. Rues, of Simcoe; was this
year secured, and in anticipating a happy and
profitable time, the results ehdw that good
grounds existed for the anticipations. On
Sunday morning last Mr. Russ preached a
good practical sermon to the children of the
Sabbath School, all of whom were comfort•
ably seated in the centre of the church. In
the afternoon short addresses were delivered
by. •neve. Messrs. Ruse, Gray and Salton, and
the Superintendent. On Sunday evening
Mr. Rues again preached, but this time to
those of adult years. To all of these services
there was a very large attendance, and the
est of attention was given the thoughtful
utterances of the speaker.
ON MONDAY EVENING
the anniversary services proper were held,
and long beforo the hourannouneed for start.
ing, 7.30, the church was filled, so that those
who came afterwards were literally packed
in, whtle some who were unfortunate enough
to be a little late, could not get in at all.
Mr. James Thompson, the esteemed Superin.
tendent of the school, presided, and lost no
time in pushing through the•long but exceed-
ingly interesting programme: The efficient
Secretary, Mr, Will Beesley, read the follow-
ing statistics relating to the school t—

last two quarters, officers 5, teachers 24, scholars 211,

the first -tiro quarters, we suppose is due to the Army
being in town. The increase in attendance in the

a total of 412• The largest attendance for a single
Sunday was 300.. "
.The receipts of the year, including that
raised at the last anniversary, and a balance
on hand of $17, amounted to $181, while the
expenditures only. amounted • to :pm To.
keep .the library and school in a proper state
of efficiency, the officers' this year asked for
the slim, of $75. The Sunday collections
amounted to $64, and, before the meeting
closed on, Monday evening, the pleasing an•
nouncement was made that a total of $86 bad
been raised.
