Several of our Reform contemporaries are engaged in the pleasant task of ad- vising the Patrons of Industry in regard to the stand that body should take in Dominion politics. They very unself- ishly urge the patrons to cast their votes and influence with the Liberal Party, alleging that the patron plat form differs in no essential particular from that of the Liberals. This allega- tion may or may not be correct, but if the patrons wish to support a party whose policy is taxation for revenue only, they will not fail to give their ad- hesion to the great and progressive Liberal Conservative Party, to whom Canada owes its present proud and commanding position among nations. So long ago as 1SS0, Hon. Mr. Blake, en authority whom Liberals should certainly accept, declared in a public ad- dress that thenecessitiea or Canada had grown sogreat that a tariff which a few years previously had been protective had then become one for revenue only and could not be reduced by any party. Again in 1890 Mr. Blake issued a print- ed address in which he reiterated with much emphasis his former statement, and declined to be a candidate of any party professing to be able to cut downs the expenditures of Canada; that be held woulcl beobtsiningOffiiceby`making promises which they would find them- selves unable to fulfil Aside, however, from the opinions of so eminent a man as Mr. Blake, the patrons can determine this question for themselees in a very simple way. Let them appoint a committee of unbiased experts to examine the public accounts, the tariff' and the consolidated statutes of Canada, and they will find, as Mr. Blake has stated, that no party or Government is able to reduce the ex- penditures without creating a deficit which the country would hereto borrow to pay, or breaking faith with one or more of the provinces and thus destroy- ing Confederation, which very few people want to do. If the patrons should assist the Liberals into power they would find their friends ably to do nothing more than re arranrwe the tariff: They could not lighten any imaginary loadthe people are bearing. It is raid that more taxes should be put on luxur- ies and an equivalent taken off necessit- ies. But a moment's reflection will convince any reasonable man that this is an impossibility. It is the boast of Canadiansthat we have neither the very rich nor the very poor in Canada. Fence we have no luxurious class in a popul- ation with whom agriculture is the main pursuit P upon whom iom wo can cast such burdens as the patrons and Liberals might wish taken from the shoulders of the farmers and artizans. It is clear therefore that a re -adjustment of the tariff means nt,thiug more than the changing of the burden of taxation, (if taxation necessary to the maintenance of government be a burden) from one shoulder of the moderately well-to-do =auto another, which would afford permanent relief. The patrons should not allow scheming politicians to hood- wink them, but should recognize that if the Liberals were in power to -morrow they could do bathing hat- faint,, the p.xliey of the presentGovernmentunless they deliberately set about bankrupting the country. A Notable Convert. A paragraph going the rounds of the papers, states that Mr. Louis Papineau, of themauor ofMonte-Bello, Quebec, has turned Protestant and joined the Pres- byterian Church. The cause of the conversion of this man, who is the son of the French Canadian rebel of 1837, is an interesting one. When Canada was ceded. to England in 1763, the Boman Catholic church was permitted to retain all the rights and privileges it had possessed under the sway of the Xing of France, who of all European Sovereigns was the most in- tensely Catholic. Although the French Canadians were placed nominally under British rule, that is, although the British flag:waved over them, it denoted nothing more than that tho territory was owned by England ; the French Canadians remained as completely nnder the dominion of the church. and as completely French as before the Con- quest. The institutions planted, in the country by France in the 17tH century under the direction of the Jesuits were unchanged. Provision was made by treaty for the onforcementofthe church's demands upon the people by the agree- ment on the part of England that the civil law of Old France, and not that of England, should prevail in the eonquer- ed colony. Practically therefore, Cana- da not only did not change masters at the conquest, but England guaranteed that it never should change. The civil law of Old France prevails in Quebec to -day, and the beads' of the church in that province contend that it shoulcl. prevail as well in. Ontario. finder that law the church,' has the, right to.; collect them to pay auch assessments for the building of churches, priests' houses, ao,, as may be made upon them. Theca are but samples of the extraord- inary privileges that llngland weakly consented to guarantee tothe church when her representatives signed the treaty of Paris in 1763, Under the watchful eye of the church these privil- ogee have e been d e add t a to as occasion ]lea i41'sred.. instead of being diminished: For instance, the church was loyal to the shadow of British rule in Canada as against the Republicanism of the United States during the war of 1812, andfor this the Roman ecclesiastic who up to that time had been styled superintend- ent of the church, with rather limited powers, was allowed tobecome a bishop, with all powers that belong to such an ofiiee in a Catholic country, and was granted by the British Crown X1,000 a year as a reward for what the Crown chose to consider loyalty to itself, but - which was in reality loyalty to the in- terests of that ecclesiasticism which England had so well guaranteed, and upon which they based their hopes,. which still survive, of one day making Canada a French nation onthe American continent. Many other instances might be mentioned to show that the church was constantly seeking by insidious means to {curtail the authority of the British Crown and add to its awn. Such Morasses of hierarohicsl authority and the exactions resulting thelofrom were very aggravating to many. Among those who disliked them. was Papineau, the leader of the rebellion of 1887, and father of the gentleman who has just become a member of so worthy a sect as the Presbyterian, a truly devout member, it is to be hoped.' His rebellion is niisunderstood,by the majority of Upper Canadians. Ile did not object to British rule; he objected to the hierarchical rule which England had not only not removed but had ir- re% oeably fastened upon them by treaty when the territory was in name only made British. He had really imbibed some of the spirit of the mere moderate French nr 1 ' e hre�outo i n is indes- troyed who 1 0.� cl troyed hierarchical and kingly rule i n France at one blow. W hat he really wanted was that England should release them from the operation of the special privileges which the church had been given by treaty and by unfortunate Acts of the British Parliament. These extraordinary powers have not been diminished to this day, but on the contrary increased. The British flag is over Quebec, very often it has to make way for the French tricolor. The oceans' ional presence of theflag is the only thing British about Quebec. Government is completely in the hands of the church. and must so remain until England de- stroys the treaty of 1763 and all enact- ments of her Parliament based upon that bad treaty. The errors of the treaty have been perpetuated in the North America or Confederation Act. The power to assess all Roman Catholics for the erection of church edifices and priests' houses, coo„ is proving very burdensome to the French Canadians, who are usually so very poor that they barely au bidet. These ohareteeare ten t. upon the assessment roll of the muni- cipality and collected with other muni- cipal taxes, The rolls are prepared by commissioners in the control of the loeaI clergy and all appeals aro to courts subject to the name Influence and oper- ating under laws which prevailed in France in the 17th century, but have long been wiped out by all but the most benighted countries, If the taxed party refuses to pay assessmente, this law is Set in motion under the Union Jack in precisely the same way as it would bo if a fernier of Ontario refused to pay an assessment for building a township bridge, gravelling a road or erecting a town hall. This Mr. Papineau is said to have liked the clergy veryiittle. It is not to bo supposed that the tax would be an unbearable burden upon him, for he is reputed a very wealthy man, but he may have some reasonfor believ- ing that he is to be punished for think- ing too londly,andis eyadingpunishment as others evade payment of similar as- sessments by turning a nominal Protest- ant. Taking tip arms was his father's way of showing discontent, at the exact- ions of a church whose power is guarn- feral ir,nn+mntni}.. h.. 7>•.±..b1.+ -,r: .P-......,. - ing a Protestant is theson's method.. His wealth enables him to do what poorer man dare not attempt. Of the deep piety of this distinguished convert there may be, under the circumstances, a reasonable doubt. It is announcedon good authority that there will be a heal Provincial election this fall, soon after the return of Mr. Mowat from his Western trip. It is also said that Mr. Mowat has issued instructions to adopt the Patron's Plat- form and include the plank that Regis- trars, Sheriffs, Bailiffs, Division Court Clerks, and all other officera paid by the County, be elected by the people. This is Mr. Meredith's Platform, which was so decried by the Liberal atumpers at last election, Mr. Win. Sullivan, an old resident of Carleton openly, has received a letter from his daughter, Mrs. Hiram Millen, dated at Grand Forks, Dakota, 8th inst., from which the following extract is mado "There has never been in the History of Dakota anything like these hard times. There is no money and nothing doing. In some places there will scarcely be any crop not enough to pay for seed -as it is dry. The wheat has ripened too Boon.

The Sarnia has now been out thirty- one days from Montreal for Liverpool and was last reported on August 16 with her machinery disabled. Captain Couch re- fused assistance from the steamship Ripon City. Cables and despatobes are pouring in on the Dominion Line people, who express confidence that the steamer will turn up all right. The Last Message. OrrewA, .Aug, 80.—Senator Llemow, whose daughter is married to Rev. T. Bailey, of Si Barnabas, who is a passen- ger on the missing S,S. Sarnia, has re- ceived a letter from Miss Bailey, of Brighton, Eng., enclosing amessage which. reached her from Per. Mr. Bailey by the S, S. Oity of Ripon, which spoke the Sarnia in mid -ocean on Anguet 7. In the mess- age Mr. Bailey said Capt.

TonoNTo, Aug. 30.—At the Observatory yesterday the Inspector and Probability Officer was seen. He said: "This bad weather which started yesterday after- noon, is caused by a West India hurricane, the center of which came ashore in Florida on Sunday night, and has since moved northward, passing over North Carolina and Virginia. The center is now between Oawego and Albany, N.Y. "All tbo lines aro down in that part of the country, and no reports have been re- ceived up to this. To date, taking in the latter part of the summer or hurricane season, there have been more of this class of storm that affected our Canadian Weather in some parts than in any pre- vious season since this service started. " I ordered up storm signals all over the Dominion yesterday afternoon. As this hurricane comes from the sea, it is impos- sible to tell the position of the center or rate of travel. I only know of one other instance where a storn*ias taken the pecu- liar treolc of the present one—about the. middle of September, 1878. So far there have been four this season. The :first pass- ed to the southeast of Cape Bruton, giving a heavy northeast gale in Eastern Nova Scotia. The second passed directly across that province, leaving numerous wrecks in its wake, On August 23 another took shape. doing terrible work in the way of wreaks and destruction of property along the sea coast from °New Jersey to Massa- chusetts. This last was the fourth, mak- ing probably one of the greatest hurricane ;masons on record." Latest Ottawa Nowa. Creme, Aug. 30.—There was no shoot- ing in the Dominion Rifle Assooiation matches on Rideau range yesterday, owing to the severe storm. It has rained almost incessantly since Monday afternoon.

Gour- ley, member for Sunderland and a well- known shipbuilder, asked whether, since the sinking of the warship Victoria, the Government's attention had been directed to the criticism of experts at home and abroad as to the utility of ships of mon- ster size, and whether an enquiry world be made regarding the capability of the lower structure of such ships to prevent capsizing in the event of some of their compartments filling with water, He also asked whether the Admiralty officials were aware that the lower structure of these ships when pierced might, as in the case of the Victoria, disturb the center of gravity and cause them to turn turtle." Right Hon, Sir C. J. gay -Shuttleworth, Secretary to the Admiralty, replied that the Admiralty had not failed to consider the criticisms referred to, but was decid- edly of the opinion that it would be ad- visable to build more ships of the dimen- slobs already decided upon in of the strength of those they might encounter in case of war. The Admiralty saw no rea- son for a special inquiry into the subject, as the question of the lower structure had necessarily been dealt with in designing the ships. Falluro in Real Estate.

May Be blade at the Autumn Session of the House of Comrnons. LONDON, Aug. 80. --The last stage of the Home Rule debate in the House of Com- mons will begin to -day. This begin- ning of the end will be marked probably by another groat speech from Mr. Glad- stune, who will make the motion for the third reading. In this supreme and per- haps his final effort for the Irish cause the aged Premier is likely to touch on a ques- tion or two which the Government has ignored so far in the exhaustive discussion of the hill, Tho Radicals are confident that he will speak from the heart concerning the threatened rejection of the bill by the Lords, and many Liberals agree with them pointhat,t, without reference to the hostile atti- tude of the Upper House, Mr. Gladstone's specb must be found wanting at a crucial. .After Mr. Gladstone will come all the masters of oratorical fireworks *whom the Opposition can muster. Mr. Gosohen, Chancellor of the Excheguer in the Iast Salisbury administration, is expected to make the drat reply to Mr. Gladstone, As he is not a debater of the first order, however, the interests of the Unionists has been concentrated ou the attack which Joseph Chamberlain will make en the Government in Thursday's sitting. Mr. FBriday.alfour, leader of the Unionists, will de- liver their final protest against the bill en John Morley, Chief Secretary of Ireland; Herbert Asquith, Home Secretary; and Sir William Harcourt, Chancellor" of the Ex- cheqpar, alllldebat debaters of the foremost rank, will probably be the Government's cham- pionstionin this final bout with the Opposi• , The Home Rule bill will be passed dur- ing the Friday night sitting. The xnle closing the debate at midnight will be sus- pended by the Government, and at about two o'clock the division will be taken, The close of the six months' struggle will be attended surely with scenes of keen excitement. The Government, 'however, with vivid recollections of the fight that reeently disgraced the House is mak- ing every effort to keep feeliug below the 'danger point. All the Gladstonian mein - bees have received word from headquarters that they must refrain from any demon- stration likely to anger the Opposition excessively, If the Irish members restrain. their enthusiasm sufficiently to conform to this request there will be no recurrence of brawls ou the floor of the House, It now has been decided definitely that the home Rule bill shall be introduced in the House of Lords on Monday, Septem- ber 4, and will be taken to the second read- ing on the following day. The division will be made and the bill will be rejected on September 8, Some sort of a compro- mise at flee autumn oeaeio;. le Luw reword- ed by many as probable. English Opinions of Repeal. LONDON, Aug. 30.—The Morning Post says that the vote in the United States House of Representatives yesterday in- dicates a great ohange in American opin- ion, and shows that the Democrats are practically united for the repeal of the Silver Act. In the face of such a ma- jority, it adds, the struggle in the Senate will probably be shorter than was antici- pated. Tho Times says : The Wilson Bill goes to the Senate with x t all the authority that the very remarkable declaration of opinion of the Lower House can confer. It is evi- dent that the severe and continued de- pression in trade has worked a very deoi- ded change in the popular views. It seems improbable that anything will come out of the Voorhees bill. It is the expiring effort of the silver party. Silver, deprived of the support of the Sherman ace will sink to a level too low to suit the bimetallist notions of a proper ratio or to facilitate the establishment of a double standard. The passage of the Wilson bill will not produce the unlimited improvement in the situation that is expected in some quarters, because the Sherman act is not the only obstacle in commeruiai prusuerity, i+iseai blunders and unsound speculation count for much, but it may he hoped that the removal of the silver incubus will enable the Americans to see more clearly what other measures are required to put busi- ness on a sound basis. Sending It Back. WASHINGTON, Aug. 30, — The Senate Committee on Finance decided to re port back to the Senate the Wilson repeal bill with the recommendation that the Voor- hees bill already on the Senate calendar be substituted for it. The committee also resolved to set aside the National Bank circulation bill, which is now unfinished business in the Senate, in favor of the Voorhees bill and to press the latter -measure as rapidly as the temper of the Senate will permit.
