The Rev. D. J. McDonnell has
been censured by many illiberal
e itios on accouut of his sermon
wherein he held that moderate
drinking was no sin. The reve-end
a gentleman has beeu charged with
advocating moderate drinking. But
he declared quite the coutrary.

The 1iruui1tou Tituvs, ole of

not very often, rises to t'ellntrl: about
the Ifoltiiulapd election which hes'
resulted after ,t I'ecttiiItt in a majority

In consequence of the discovery of
an extensive system of bribery,

on the grounds of corruption, claim-
ing to b;1 able to prove fully one
hundred cases of bribery. fine
thousand dollars was raised to pro-
secute the case, the petition was
entered, and there was to be a groat
exposure of the immorality of the
campaign as conducted by the Con-
servatives. Within a few days of
the trial the protest was withdrawn.
It would appear, however, that hav-
ing lost all hopes of electing a
Liberal candidate, the Liberal party
has lost that great solicitudes in the
interests of morality, which they
claimed as their motive in proposing
to contest the election,"
EDITORIAL NOTES.
The Toronto Globe says that the
Ilon, Edward Blake will not' oon-
tieue to reside in England. The
Globe said that the Conservative
government would not occupy the
Treasury honchos after the last
February elections.
A newspaper publisher down East
is also a local preacher. In ono
of his rapturous scones, with his
eyes in fino frenzy rolling, he gloried
in thn alleged feet of his always
doing, his maker's well; that he even
took god into his business with him.
The "devil" of his printing ' office
who was present audibly whispered:
That's so, but you spell hila there
with a little g."
The Toronto Globe, in referring
to the i\Iissonr•i tragedy the other
day, wherein nn old Hien was kicked
to death by a young fellow of nino-
teetr, contained the ttatoundillg in-
telligence that the victim's 'post
won't tt:(r statement had heen taken
down by tho coroner. The writer
for that journal having gleaned the
whole of' this world trust fain inter-
view the denizens of the vast beyond.
The Globe is noadsy, anyhow, but
in this ease we think the types ex-
aggerated its enterprize.
Tho Hamilton Spectator does not
chime in with the atutpnlent of a
IFIiron Grit paper that national
currency will be a rallying cry at
the next geneaal election. We
}ave been tolyl by a supporter of
\Ir. \L C. Cameron that M. C. C.
declared since, Itis defeat that he
would have spent $10,000 had he
thought that \[i. Porter would have
made ets good :t showing at the polls
in 'F 1 rnory lust. It may be that the
Grit paper is right and that 1[r,
C'amer'on will di.tlribute is , 2s end
4s of our national currency at the
next general election', as 0 "rallying
(cry." But it avou't tlo, fill the same.

is tite satno Company that furnished
the Uauatliau Grits, Huntington et

ing of tho Canada Pacific for four or
five years. Their gatuo now is ou a
smaller scale, but their nefarious in-
tentions aro quite as apparent as
ever. Having failed to prevent the
Canada Pacific being built, they
are now endeavoring, with the aid
of a few interested Winnipeggers,
to have the ]ted [firer 'Walley Road
built so as to tap the trade of the
C. P. R. Ansi this in the face of a
guarautee in the charter of the C, P.
R, that no such competing road
should be built on Canadian terri-
tory until twenty years after the
granting Of the charter, which
time has not expired_
The Mitchell Advocate ]Hirt meek
came out tt•itlt a trust (Jonservat.i-vo
ring. It seems that some tinge ago
a Grit merchant? of A[itcholl, Thos.
McDonald, paid $1 too much
duty o11 some binding twine• and
can got no satisfaction from the
Aliuisiter of Customs. Assuming
that Mr. McDonald, has a good
case, the Ade/Jerrie does right in
corning out strongly in asserting
his rights. The bane of any party
is :t slavish press. '['lie journal that
honestly end intelligently points
out the errors of its party is a greater
friend to it than the ,journal which
attempts to condone its errors.
We take this extract from tho Arlee-
cute editorial :—
Mr. McDonald is a strong and pro-
minent Liberal, but at the same"
time he is an. honored British subject
and a citizen of Canada, and thereby
entitled to the Same fair play and
rights enjoyed by others, and we
trust that Sir John will take his
erring colleague by the ear anti com-
pel him to do iris duty, or else force
him to step down and out of the
Ministry.,
\h•. Joseph Chamberlain, the
English Cotllllissioner on the Fish-
eries Commission, in tIn'ne or four

upon as a Radical or 'Democrat.
When replying to the toast et the
annual dinner of the. Now York
Ch•Intber of Commerce the other

clearer definition of Conservatism.
could he given eo concisely cls that
DIr. Chamberlain has given of
Democracy even of R'tdisalisul
with which he boasts of' being
tainted. A rose by any other nacre
would' seiel.las sweet. Conserve-
tivisfil in Canada has been defined
as "with the people, by the people,
for the people." The Conservative
party by whatever name it inay be
called is the real Democratic party
of the country. This will account
for the deep hold it has upon ,rho
country. Actions speak louder
than worde. The progress thtet the
country — the people—.has made
under Conservative rule shows that
it is the People's Carly --the 1)emo-
o•atic party if you will, •
,[l. )Wim:l 0, of New York, spoke
at St. Thomas ono day last week,

neighbors have recovered their

fect development without their as-
sistance and serve Imperial inter-
ests at the same time, they patron-

Tho 1Vitlaeas says that "Senator
Sherman is forced, to confess that
foreign markets are necessary to the
(A ut ricin) ulauufacturers." The
il•'ittteee says that "Continental free
trade is tho best that offers to the
United Status" for the extttusiou of
their trade, Now for tho very rea-
son that Continental free trade or
Commercial Union is the best policy
iv order to extend the markets of
the United States, for that very rea-
son would it ho impolitic and ruin-
ous to Canada at this time. The
United States are surfeiting with a
plethora of over -production of fact-
ories and farms and it is cooly pro-
posed by sounu of our people that
they be allowed to dump their sur-
plus on to Canadian territory. And
as the main policy of the United
States is to get rill of their surplus,
it would be absurd to expect them
to take front Canada our surplus
products which are of the very same
character as those thuy are so anxi-
ous to get relieved of, and which
threatens to produce financial and
commercial disaster unless they so
get relieved. It is very poor en-
couragement to Canada to grant free
trade to the 1Juited States for the
solo purpose of affording a market
for products of the United States,
wltieli products we already -have a
surplus of. • As nye mentioned last
week, the continents of Europe,
South America, and it may•ho Asia
are the countries with which we
can build up a benofteiul traclo ; not
with the United States whose
products and ours possess too touch
of a sameness.

(11(1T DESPONDENCY.
The fact of the matter is, that when
the Liberals dropped their•free trade
and anti monopolistic principles,
they dill a thing which shamed them-
selves, and which, when defeat
followed, leftthent without anything
to fall back upon, without even the
sense of honor which matte them
e0 cheerful under the splashing de-
feat of 1!(78. Thzy made n fight in
llaldimand, lint as there were no
principles and no policy at stake
they lout. The result of this defeat
seems to be that the party, .ars a
party, is no longer in the field. In
East Northumberland the Liberal
candidate has clopte_0s13:.e6.ci('t,nneer-
cial Unionist, pure and simple. The
Liberal organs holt) that he will lose
the votes of Liberal non-commercial
unionists, without gaining those of
Conservative commercial unionists,
anti that is not unlikely. The time
seems ripe for the organization of a
party which will not be afraid to face
living issues. If Mr. Laurier will
not write prohibition and commercial
union on his standard, the country is
waiting for the man who will come
before theta with a positive policy.
There ore constant defections of
manufacturing Liberals to the Pro-
lectionist party and without some
positive rallying cries all opposition
to that party will .become futile.

NO R0031 FOR (GOSPEL SERVICES.
"fhe•Il'itrtess republishes the follow
ing ; —If "special" Sundays • and
"special'' sermons-sgo on multiplying
as in the past, before long there will
belittle room left for the regular old.
fashioned Sabbath services. • Already
few Sundays have not been red lined
as ,'spechil." Every church opening,
induction and Sabbath school must
have its anniversary, with special
services, The schemes of the chlu'eh
most each have one day. Important
events in church history roust be
commemorated. Societies, religious,
quasi -religious, non -religious, and
irreligious, each want a chance for
parade and airing of regalia, with an
annual sermon and collection thrown '
in. Benevolent and charitable in-
•stitntions of all sorts, "hones"
"havens," "hospitals," et alio, come
in for their share. Political and
social movements require "special"
notice, "Temperance," ('Prohibi-
tion," "Whitt Oros+," "Leagues,"
"13antls," "Ribbons," and suolt like
clamor for a show. This kind of
th'ng may' be all right. But what tie
would suggest is that the calender
be so constructed, that each of these
"special" Sundays be marked, that a
man may know where and when he
may; reasonably expect a straight
gospel sermon, unadultered by any-
body's "special" fad.—Knox College
