We cannot find space in our coimnns
for the magnificent altd crushin,;
speech, delivered last week, at ' Tindsola
by the "Cumberland War Horse", Sir
Charles TupP, erHigh Commissioner,
for Canada, It was one of his greatest
efforts; and doubtle"ss will carry weight
clot only with the five thousand who
were present on the occasion, but with
thousands more throughout the length
and breadth of Canada. There are
however, two or three silent points in:l
Sir Charles' splendid spsseeh whisk de-
serve special attention, It was the un-
earthing of that most diabolical plot
and conspiracy for handing over this
country to the l.Tnited States. The
public is no pretty familiar with Mr.
Farrer's treasonable pamphlet that was
t xposed by Sir John Macdonald in his
famous speech at Toronto. Since then
Mr. Farrer has publicly admitted his
guilt, but tries to shield uimself from
public obloguy; by the`plea that it was
simply a literary- amusement, and writ-
ten for the benefit of a friend. That
friend, it now turns out, was Mr, Hitt,
member° of Congress for the U. S. But
as shown in the High Commissioner's
speech at Windsor, the pamphlet which
Farrer got secretly printed for a few
favored ones was only one link in the
ehain of a treasonable conspiracy which
has been carried on secretly for two
whole years. The prime movers in
that foul conspiracy are no less than
Sir Richard Cartwright, who as a Ca-
median and an ex -Finance minister of
the Crown wears the insignia of a K.
C. M. G.; Mir. Wiman,, the Canadian
Yankee, who is deeply interested in
building up an.,American trade at the
expense of Canada; Mr. Farrer., an
Irishman, ;whose loyalty to Britain is.
enly measured by a considering of
whatever side his bread happens to
be buttered on; Mr. Laurier, the leader
of a forelorn hope; and, following in
the rear, by Mr: Longley; a pronounced
annexationist, who is in sympathy
with the notorious Jones of Halifax:, N.
S., who wanted to pull down the Brit-
ish flag hoisted on Dominion day. And
now for the damning evidence un-
earthed by Sir Charles Tupper! On
the 22nd of April, 1889—nearly two
years ago—Mr. Farrer addressed a
letter to Mr. Wiman of New York, in
'which he says:."WE RAD BETTER MA1 E
.POR .ANNEXATION AT ONCE, INSTEAD
qtr' WASTING TWO BITESON TRE =BR -
ET." Again: "When Sin Joust Gots'
we shall be adrift without a port in
flight, SAVE ANNEXATION!" Once
More: "I saw Mr. Hear while at Wast -
ln;ton and told him. that Tun SMALLER
FORCES FAVOR ANNEXATION and ALL.
''TIE MORE IF O. IT, BE WITIIELD Then
follows much more in the same strain.
'Farrer's letter' is then transmitted to
Mr. Hitt, who,says: "THERE IS soMIJ
LOGIC I21 WHAT F. SATS OP GOING FOR
A NE(ATXOM AT ONCE. Now will Cart-
wright and Farrer reconcile such pro-
ductions passing between the two

eral party, and the recognized author.
ity- in W 'ishingtoii of the "Committee
on trade relations," with the profession
by Fairer that his pamphlet was pure-
ly a personal and private matter of
correspondence?
Now what would be the result were
the policy of Cartwright; Wiman and
Co., carried into effect? Sir Michael
,H)u1.s-Be.'ich declared the other day in
England that if Canada were to unite
:riti1. the C, S: in discriminating
t-gafnst :Britain in her fiscal'policy, she
could. no longer look to the mother
country for military and naval assist -
Ce, or defence, Not only does the

only requites a word; from the Premier
uaf. England to present Canadian
c'luiseres from. being interrupted in the
enjoyment of their rights as citi:iens of

Not only so, but the effect of that ob.
noxious measure has been to alienate
a large portion of the American people
from the policy of the Republican gov-

authorities at Washington to make
overtures to the Dominion govern-
ment for reciprocal trade on better and
more favorable terms than have exist

abrogation of the Reciprocity Treaty
of 1854 And should Sir John's goy

WEST IMO TEE11'
ASSOCIATION.
SUCCESSFUL MEETING IN EXETER.
FIFTH -TWO TEACHERS PRESENT.
The West Huron Teachers held their
semi-annual meeting in the public
school, Exeter, on the 19th and 20th
ult.
Mr. G. M. Kilty, President of the as-
sociation, presided at all the sessions
and' discharged his duties very efficient
lv.
The following committees were ap-
pointed at the first session, viz:—Reso•
lutions, Messrs. Jas. Grant, S. J. Latta,
RR. Ross,Misses Pringle and Gregory.
Question Drawers -Inspector Tom,
Messrs D. C. Dorrance and T. A.
Brown.
Subsequently after giving due not-
ice, a special committee composed of
Inspector Tom, Messrs: S. J Latta, J. R.
Balfour and R. R. Ross were appointed
to enquire into the subject of school
grants and their distribution. On mo-
tion of W. H. Johnston sec'd by Jas.
Grant.
The first subject on the program
phonics was taken up by Inspector
Tom.
The Inspector stated that the phon-
ic method of teaching reading could
not be carried out necessfully but a
combination of the look and say and
the phonic methods would produce sat-
risfaotory results. A class of small pu-
pils was then put through various ex-
ercises in word building, making the
subject very interesting and instruct-
ive.
This subject was. furtner . discussed
by Messrs J. Grant, J. W. Hogarth and
J. S. Wren.
G. W. Holman who was on the pro-
gram for TeachersUnions excused him
self, and asked to be relieved _ for the
present.
It was moved by J. R. Balfour and
resolved that the subject of Teachers
Unions belaid over for the present with
the understanding that it be taken up
at the next association meeting.
In answer to a question the Inspect-
or explained the cause of the falling
off the government grant to public
sehools in this district. As the disri-
bution is made upon the population of
themunicipalities it was urged that
Assessors should be more particular
in this part of their work.
In response to a motion of Inspector
Toni sec'd by R. R. Rose, Mr. J. J. Tilly
Model School Inspector addressed the
Association for a short time. Mr. Tilly
pointed out that the present system of
school Assessments was faulty and
that far better results would follow,
were the Municipal Councils to levy a
bulk sum by a uniform rate and dis-
tribute this on the following basis:
first, according to salary paid the teach-
er ; second, accordung to certificate held
by teacher employed; third according
to average attendance, the balance re-
quired by each school section to be
raised as at present.
The Association then adjourned to
meet: at 1.30 p. m.
AFTERNOON SESSION.
The Association met pursuant to ad-
journment. Mr. J. W. Harrison took
up "time tables for an ungraded school'.'
and illustrated his plan ofcarrying out
the same,
Me5.s �i'4
Ross, Latta, Wren en Brown,
Grant and the President discussed this
Subject.
.Mr. Tilly then proceeded with °.an-
a,lysis of mental action" dealing prin-
cipally with, the question. „flow does
the mind act ln.learning"
The subject worked a good deal of
discussion and much interest was man
ifestcd in it by the teachers,
Mr. Jas. Grant then showed his plan
of taking up Canadian History with
beginners. The address was in-
terestine and instructive, and was (Es -
cussed by Inspector Tom, Messrs Bal.
four, Dor'rance, Ross and Latta. The
association then adjourned.
TiIURSDAY EVENING. SESSION.
In the evening a free Lecture and
Concett was given in the Town Hall,
to a very large audience. The Brest
denf, occupied the chair. ]4Ir: r1111cy
delivered an admirable ,address on
"Success in life With special rel:erene.e
to voting heli" The adrli•ess, which
occnpied about an hots in delivery,
was very instructiyo and inspiring,
and was listened to with much interest
After the lecture a short musical pro-
gram, taken part in by the Glee Club
and the Gidley Orchestra, was carried
out.
Ori motion of D. C. Dorrance second-
ed by G. W.Holman, a hearty vote of
thanks was tendered Mr. Tilley, the
Town Colwell, for 'the use of the Hall,
and all those who had assisted in car-
rying out the program, God save the
Queen brought the proceedings to a
close.
FRIDAY FORENOON SESSION.
The association met at 9,15 a. in.
The minutes of the .previo+ls sessions
were read and approved. The Presi-
dent then and
a delivered verypointed a
instructing address on "Tho difficulties
in the teacher's path" < The address,
which was very practiea1, showed that
Mr. Kilty had given careful attention
to its preparation, Inspector Toni com-
plemented 112r. Kiley and Spoke with
reference to that part of the address
dealing with Public School examiIlat-
ions. The discussion was further car-
ried on by Messrs, 11, R. Ross, G, W.
Holman, W. II, Johustou and G. Baird.
dealing principaqy with the usefulness
of Public school ex:uilillat'iilb, upon
which a diversity of opinions costed.
Mr. D• C, Durrauce then addressee)
the .-association on "How to make
school attractive," dealing with
the subject in a very practical man-
ner. Mr. Dorrance held that teachers
as a rule are too reserved and should
make themselves more familiar with
their, pupils, this would add. to, not
take from his influence. More attent-,
ion should be paid to School decorat-
ions,
Mr. Tilley then illustrated his meth-
od of introducing,• grammar to a class
of beginners. This proved a very in-
tersting and profitable part' of the pro-
gram, A class of small boys and: girls
from the Exeter Public School afforded
Mr. Tilley a good opportunity of show -
m,, the practibility of his method of
instruction. In dealing with sentences
at first the teacher should conduct his
work hi two stages: lst, the teacher
naming the use of the words and . the
pupil naming the words; 2nd,
the teacher naming the words
and the pupils their uses, continuing
the first stage some time before intro-
ducing the second. The association
then adjourned to 130 P. M.
AFTERNOON SESSION.
The association met pursuant to ad-
journment. The minutes of the morn-
ing session were read and adopted. Mr..
J. R Balfour then proceeded to., solve
problems in carpet, paper, &e. accord-
ing to the method adopted in the Pub-
lic School Arithmetic, This proved
very interesting, and a good. deal of
discussion took place as to the advisa-
bility of following' out the method laid
down in the prest;ribed text
The next on the program was" otlh-
ods of inspection" by L. J. Gilleland
M2r. Gillelal:d devoted himself rather to
the discussion of "hints for teachers."
This paPer showed that the writer had
devoted much time and care to the sub-
ject and, mann gond practical hints
were given. Machine teaching was
denounced and physical culture conn
mended. This subject was furthur
discussed by Jas. Grant, who showed
that he also had given the subject care•
ful and thoughtful attention. On mot-
ion of G. W. Holman seconded by G.
W. Hogarth, G. M. Kelty was unani-
mously elected as delegate to the Pro
vincial Teachers Association for the
present year. Mr Kilty briefly thank-
ed the association for the honor.
The caretakers of school and hall
were granted $1.50 each for their ser-
vices. Inspector. Tom, chairman of the
special committee, referred to above,
then brought in the following report,
which on motion of W. M. Johnston sec-
onded by Samuel Rauch was adopted,
viz:—
1. That the present system of dia-
tributing the grants to our public
schools is not satisfactory, as it does
not in any way tend to improve the
standing of the schools, and should
be changed.'
2. That in the distribution of the
public school grants, the teacher's cer
tificate, the teacher's salary, and the
equipment of the school should be con-
sidered.
, 3. That the grants to public schools
(should be increased.
4, That copies of this report be sent
to the Minister of Education and to the
Last Huron teachers` Association.
The following report of the Resolut•
ion Committee was then submitted by
the chairman ,James Grant, and on
motion of G. W. Holman seconded by
S. J. Latta was adopted: -
1. That in of•the fact that the
law resneetin, Public School exami-
nations is not adhered to by the major
ity of sections, and because of the di-
versity of opinion as to the benefits to
be derived from thein, wo would rec-
ommend that the law be ameudod so
as to make the holding of such'exami-
nations optional.
2. That we re -affirm our previous
resolution in regard to the Public
School History.
3. That a copy of the above be Sent
to the Minister of Education.
4, That the mensuration of the 5th
Form Examination is too indefinitely
stated.
Mr. T. A, Brown then answered sev-
eral of the questions deposited in the
Question Drawer, after which the As-
sociation adjourned to meet at the call
of the Jilxecutiye Committee
