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 countries by the chief editor of the Globe, that yoices the views of the Lib- 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 �1,., o,,:.s of British 1)rotectiotigiven to Canada not cost us a single dollar to wards maintainitg the British. army and navy; but whenever a case arises, rsucli as the Behring Sea question, it 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 elm Empire, Is that worth nothing? tlelt is the prestige and influence of 'Britain that it may be safelypredicted that no war Wil] be waged for the, next fifty years between the U.S. and f.n "1'ti'Id, Suppose; we had not Great S itrin to back us in ollr coutentioli on the Bullring Son, question, where n' uld Canada with her fire millions of people be pitted against sixty-five millions in the neigibo1]n ; Republic? ' Another important feature of Sir Charley I ,;, ,tTI)l1Ul,'.y ,,. 1'Vlndsor Speech was het commercial relations of this cowl - try with the U. S, The McKinley bill was shown to be directed adversely to Canada; but its effect on our trade has, been neutralized by our opening up new channels and new markets in Great Britain end other countries. 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- ernment; and this has compelled the authorities at Washington to make overtures to the Dominion govern- ment for reciprocal trade on better and more favorable terms than have exist ed. between the two countries since the abrogation of the Reciprocity Treaty of 1854 And should Sir John's goy ernment be sustained on the 5th day of March, as we doubt not it' will bo by , an immensely increased majority, then our government with such a strong backing of the electorate will be in it position of securing freer trade r'elat. ions such as will benefit Canada, with- out impairing the tie which exists be tween us and the mother country. 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 G. W, TIOLMAI'f, See.
