Again we have passed the meridian of July, the summer month, and once more has been celebrated the immortal memory of the victory of King William at the Battle of the Boyne. Many and varied bavebeen the nature of these celebrations, ranging from the grand city parade with its mounted guards, gorgeously dressed officers and. soul thrilling bands, whose music and display would grace a royal pageant, to the up country "walk" with rowdyism and carousal that might well cause the name of Christianty apd Pro- testantism to blush and tbe bones of King William groan in their tomb from very shame. Our memories of the 12th celebrations, of fifteen or twenty- years ago, are anything but creditable to the Order. We are told that things have greatly changed since then, that a new class of men have taken hold and re -organized the rural lodges and that altogether a new order of things has grown iip. We are glad to know that this is so, but there is still room for im- provement. No one will deny that there are Orangemen of the very highest respectibility, men who stand high as citizens of our country, men who are conscientiously enthusiastic in maintaining and defending the claims of Orangeism, but at the same time it is painfully apparent that too many who are identified with the cause are nothing more than.blattant chumps, whose highest pleasure is to carouse and whose respect and re- verence for religion, for Protestant- ism is borne of bitterness and fostered in strife. They care not for creed ; their ideal -le prayer is "To Hell with the Pope." Are these the men that Christianity is looking to, to champion her cause? Are these the men, or are men surrounded by such associates the ones who are to lead the van- guard of christianity ? of civiliza- tion ? Surely not. Protestantism needs none of it. There are thou- sands that have never seen the inside of a lodge room who are just as thoroughly British, just as loyally Cauadian, just as purely Protestant. I sneak not of political divisions. I number among my personal and political friends, loyal Orangemen and when 1 oppose them I do it out of no whim or caprice, but from a sense of justice and right, .I be- lieve that Orangeistn, as exemplified in what we sea around us, is not having a good affect Upon this com- munity or any community, but is hindering the consummation of that day when Canadians shall live in harmony and each will religiously Attend to his own affairs of creed and be gracious enough to allow his neighbor the same privilege; when old, sores will be hes,l'd, when semi- barbarie fends louglit under the cloak and the perjured naive Of christianity will be, forgotten and we will Ifve as brethern and deal with affair:a only of today. No ;natter what. the object for which ()rangeistn has an exam to eiefst it should at once and forever cease the its object is to he a moral power in I the world,it must purge itself of the blasphemer, the inebriate, the whited sepulchres, whose breath is as the blight front a moral lazar-house to all they approach? if the object is to present in its most attractive forte the cause of Protestantism, the cause of liberty, it must be shorn of its vauntinga and its offensive bearing towards its opponents; in short it must seek vigilantly to, eradicate from within its precincts every principle, and every individual that would in any measure bring discredit to the cause he assays to champion.

Sir Charles will consequently- take the first steamer for England. Rev. Alex. Grant, speaking at the Northwest Baptist Convention at Winnipeg on the school question, declared that to put religion, whether in the form of exercises or instruction, into the State schools was to do the children incalculable da:nage.

From then on until lost to sensation, the even, roll- ing thunderous sound which had characterized its commencement was reputnecl, and gradually declining, died away on the hearing. Houses were shaken, windows rattled, dishes moved, and in soine instances, it is stated, furniture tottered.

The Ottawa Correspondent of Tho World writes :—Even Conservatives admit that 1ifr. Laurier has got together a strong aggregation. Indeed the politicians da not hesi- tate to say that it is the strongest Ministry shoe the first Confedera- tion Ministry. Whether they will be able to justify this opinion remains to be seen." Mr. Laurier comes to office with the cordial respect of political oppon- ents as, well as friends. this private record is as stainless as his personal character is engaging and attractive. He counts warm friends an both sides in politics, and many will he found. to echo the remark once made with regard to hint by Sir John iac- I donald :*"I can trust Laurier without the slightest fear. He is in capable of breaking his word even if he wished to.—Times London, England. "It would seem from the course some Orangemen pursued that it was formed for the assistance of Roinanisin. Be took the side of the Supreme Grand Master, N. Clarke Wallace. Think of the grand majority that was rolled up for him in the recent election. What Orangeman would be ashamed to stand by him?

According to a local gentleman, the apple barrel industry promises to be an important one of .this season. A few years ago 100,000 apple barrels were sent out of Laurbton in one season.
