00nIanaRoIAL RI;CIpBOCITY.
The Empire and all the minor Tory
orgaus have recently been hurling Tile
and indiscriminate abuse on eao111 and
4avery supporter and sympathizer with
Cammereial Reciprocity with the
United States. Until of late this was
not argued as a political issue Not
a few leading conservatives are even
now strong supporters of unrestricted
trade relations with our southern
neighbors, Mr. T. D. Ledzard, a
member of the Toronto Commercial
Union club, and a staunch Conservative
has written a letter to the Empire
Strongly' condemning its intolerant
and unreasoning attitude. A reeent
pamphlet issued by the Commercial
Union Club has articles by Mr. W.
Cluxton, formerly Conservative M. P.,
West Peterborough, by Ivrr. A. H.
Campbell, lumber merchant of To•
ronto, both strongly urging the
adoptign of this policy. The Globe,
in a, clever article on Tuesday last,.
predicts that the Conservative party
-will in the near future turn round
and adopt Commercial Union • as its
policy, and carry into effect the wishes
of the people in ,this respect. This
appropriation of measures agitated and
popularized by Liberals, has been a
characteristic Feature of Canadian
Toryism. The session just closed has
shown the party to be readier and
more competent than ever to turn a
political somer-sault. They have
never been debarred by any considera-
tions of consistency.
A SATURDAY WEEKLY MARKET.
Some weeks ago we strongly urged
the importance ' of having a weekly
Saturday market established • at
Wingham, with reduced railway fares
from. the stations within reach. We
showed how .itt-had leen made a success
in othar"p aees,largely sweeling the
a fierchants' sales and the general
aggregate of business done. In speak-
ing to business men, we found that
consideirable4. interest was taken in
r .ty
. tellene bject,'lout the matter had been
allowed to drop. Since then two of
our wideawake neighbors have taken
the subject up in earnest, Clinton and
Kincardine. Clinton inaugurated its
weekly market en Saturday last, it is.
claimed, under fairly favorable circumst.
antes. Considerable quantities of
eggs and: butter were bought in and
sold at good figures. It is useless to
repeat what is so universally recognized
—that Wingham as- to location,
country tributary to it,.the excellence
of its stores, and the• reputation it
sustains for cheap goods, is specially
adapted for the carrying out of such a
movement. A genuine testing time
has Come in the history of towns and
their businesses. . '!!hey must either
move on or be left in . the race.
Enterprise, push and judicious and
eoncerted action will win the day..
This sitting -at -ease, rest-and•be-con-
tented,. let-come.what-may policy is
destined to+ end in disaster to the
individuals and loss to the corpora&
tions. that pursu.e• k.

Qi.MEN: VICTORIA has now reigned
overEngland longer than anymonarcll
lint two—Henry III. and George III.
t5he overtook Queen Elizabeth six
years ago and has outdone Edward
who reigned 148 days over half a cen-
tury. If she lives a few yearn longer
Vietoria will have reigned longer than
any Royal personage of history.
Sin Jong LUBnocx, at a meeting to•
establish a free library in an English
ttawn, said that in 1856' the number of
young persons committed in, Great
}Britain for indictable offences, was
14,000 ;. in 1866. 10,000 ; in 1876, 7,.
0,00 ; in 1881, 60001, and in 1886, 5,-
100: The population had increased
in that period from 1'0,000,000 to 27,-
000,000; eta that juvenile crime is less
that it was" 80 years, ago, although the
number of children is + greater. It
its much' more satisfactory to spend
money upon schools and books than
n' on prisons, and koor•houses, '

the County Council to establish a Roer
House or House of ,Refuge in this

take to don their sweetest smiles and

next meeting they would probably

in doing,
Grip's CARTOON of last week,."aver•
laden," representing the weakness of
the three last additions to Sir John's
Cabinet, is an unusually clever and
suggestive one. Three bulky burdens
—labeled Finance, Marine & Fisheries
and Interior—have badly wracked the
Government cart, whilst the familiar
pbysiogs of Tupper, Foster and Dewd-
ney, as a trio team under the lash of
Sir John, are pulling neither uniform-
ly nor smoothly and the load is evi-
dently far too heavy.

tion.
A profitable two, days' meeting was
held at Kincardine on Thursday and
Friday last. The president, Mr. Ran-
kin, of Port Elgin, ably discussed the
advantages of Teachers' Associations
—Teachers become acquainted ; ideas
are interchanged ; experience tells of
its achievements and encourages the
beginner ; failure explains its troubles
and receives advice ; the teacher's
;horizon is broadened ;, he returns to
his. `duties improved and inspired.
Mr. F. C. Powell gave a splendid les-
son DM; "Surface Measure," which
would prove helpful to every teacher.
A keen discussion followed,.Mr. Pow-
ell replying to some criticisms, that
he would as soon "aska child to eat
what it could not digest .as learn what
it could' not understand." Mr. Arnott;
in a paper on Canadian History, em-
phasized the necessity for simplicity,
conversational teaching,. repetition and
reproduction by the scholars. He
would not attach much importance to
text books. Mr. T. B. Miller approv-
td of commencing at home in teaching
ehis subject instead of the discovery
of America. A pleasant social was
held on Thursday evening. On motion
of Messrs. D. D. Yule and A. G.
Stewart, it was decided that, in future
all; officers shall be publicly nominated
and elected by ballot. Inspector
Campbell explained his methods of in-
troducing
WWritin to . beginners. Miss.
A. A. Powell gave a lesson on phonics:
to a class in attendance, the object.
