For our own part wo would be
pleased to see Cleveland re-elected,
because the duties will come down,
and if they aro lowered ou the
American side, they will, of no,
cessity, be lowered on this, and
anything that will contributeto
the more free intercourse of the
two nations should be welcomed
by Canadians.
The. Iiaepublicans have made a
bid for the temperance vote,which
is pretty strong and could turn
the balance, but their getting it
is another matter entirely.
Radically Wrong. •
For five years Lieut -Governor
Aikens, of Manitoba, has enjoyed
the honors and omolumente of
— - supervising the actions of the
Legislature in that Province, and
we will assume that he has credit-
ably filled the position, because
be is a competent man. Isis term
of'office having expired, it is an-
nounced that he will be appointed
to a place in the Senate. To a
man of' Mr Aikens' wealth, the
salary ho will derive as a Senator
is of little account, for ho can
very well afford to got along
without it, but wo fail to see any
reasonable grounds why, in his
case especially,he should continuo
to be the recipient of public mo•
ney for which little or no service
is given. With a great any
people the Senate is a condemned
institution, but, unfortunately it
belongs to our system of govern-
ment. 1f the Conservatives do
not anticipate public opinion by
it's abolition, their opponents
must work to that end, with the
assurance of its ultimate accom-
plishment.

declaring the hopelessness of Mr
Mercier's cause in the Qiebec legis-

his friends, and was soon to be rele-

tion. When a vote was taken on the
budget the other day, Mr Mercier

about, neither can the interest be very

Knowledge in two lines is necessary iu
order to rouse the true missionary
spirit. There must be the knowledge
of the facts about the awful destitution
of the heathen, and there should also
be some understanding of the nearness
and preciousness of the Saviour whose
gospel is to be preached to every crea-
ture under heaven. Much tender sym-
pathy suer earnest liberality can be
drawn from those who do not experi-
mentally know anything about the pre-
ciousness of the Saviour, by simply giv-
ing facts about the miserable state of
the heathen. Tho murder in heathen

themselves. When they begin to find

Christ is. how near, how tender, how
sufficient for time and for eternity, then
knowing the facts about the heathen
"who never heard His name," the mis-
sionary yearning must and will become
the ruling passion in their soul.
In order to attain a true interest in
missionary work, wo need short mis-
sionary talks, and by handing; thein
wisely -chosen tracts, papers and Mis-
sionary books to lead them to an intelli-
gent idea of missionary work, and then
the interest must spring of itself. But
it will be deep and abiding only as' we
are enabled to lead them to the living

If interest is fairly aroused, liberality
will naturally spring of itself, but much
can be done in drawing it steadily
forth, and guiding and suggesting as to
how means may be obtained for the de-

THE death of Mr Geo. Case, of
Seaforth, recalls, a circumstance that
ocaurred when he ran for parliament
in opposition to Mr Bishop. Two
very ardent supporters of his, who
resided in Goderich, had fully ex-
pected to see him elected, and in
order to celebrate the event,procured
a quantity of fireworks, which were
duly get off on bearing that Case had
been returned (which was incorrect)
and one of the parties further'cele-
brated it by getting gloriously full.
Going home in this condition, his
wife, no, accustomed to such a thing,
asked her lenge lord what was the
matter. "Why,George Case's 'lected,
dear; Case's 'lected," and that was all
she could get out of him. When he
heard next day that his favorite had
been defeated, he was decidedly crest-
fallen.

with a branchial affection. IIe had au
attack of this nature about 0 week ago,
but nothing serious was apprehended.
In fact lie felt very mu :h better o1 Tues-
day and iris medical attendant had good
hopes for his speedy recovery. On Tues.
day evening he was able to walk around
the house and sat on the verandah for a
short time enjoying the cool of theeven-
ingand chatted freely and cheerfully
with friends who called to see hint. Be'
tween eight and nine o'clock he retired
to bed and soon afterwards complained
of feeling sick. In about two hours rte
passed peacefully away almost as if
falling asleep. Mr,Cresswell was 60 years
of ago although he had the appearance
of a much younger man. IIe was the
eldest of four brothers, two of whom,
Mr. G.E. Cresswell ,of Tuckersmith, and
Mr. Henry Cresswell, of Kansas City..
still survive him. He was a native of
England, and with his father and other
members of the family, came to Canada
when quite a young man, and the family
were among the pioneer settlers of the
township of Tuckersmith. He was
principally known, however, as an art-
ist, to which profession he was greatly
devoted, his high talents whining for him
a wide reputation. At all art exhibi-
tions his printings invariably gained a
first position and most of the art gab

residences of the country aro adorned
by works of rare artistic merit from his
hand: Although highly educated, wide-
ly read, and possessed of natural abilities
of a high order, he never aspired to any
publio position, his heart being in his
studio and his profession engrossing his
entire time and talents. In this, there-
fore, as we hays already said, he greatly
excelled. He was of a genial. social die-,
position and although he never courted
popularity, he had many warm friends
and ardent personal admirers. He had

front of Ranney Bros',shoe store, Lima,

away and ran into the gutter, upsetting
and throwing the child out in front of a
horse which was hitched there scaring
it, the horse stepped on the child's head
crushing the skull. Tho mother, seeing
the horse step on the child, became
frantic and fainted away. It was some
time before she was restored. The child
lived only a short time.
'Warden Lavell of the Kingston peni-

thirds were under thirty years of age

that the first steps in the downward
careers were due to disobedience to
parents, bad company or neglect of the
Sabbath. The majority of these in pri-
