Tarte the Premier De Facto. -Lord Farrer's Speech at the Cobden Club --...Mr. Whit- ney's Tour—Proceedings DrOPped. [11'mm Our Own Correspondent] Ott.. ug, 3i.—Eor two months has SIL ,irld Laurier lived in the lotus -land of fetes, dinners and Imperial gatherings As the representative of Eng- land's greatest colony, lie has been re- ceived with deference by the great men of the Empire. Canadians, irrespective of politics, have been gratified at the man- ner in whioh their Premier has been treated across the water. .As a gentleman of broad culture and courtly manners he has been a representative of whom we should not feel ashamed. Bietas a states- man, he has made regrettable errors, some of which were the result of an im- perfect acquaintance with the workings of his new tariff, while other were caused by his advocacy of bad. politics. The Jubilee is over and done with. The statesmen of England gave Sir Wilfrid a .cordial weloome and afforded him au opportunity of making a step towards se- curing for Canada benefits which would have been of incalculable benefit to our farmers. Sir Wilfrid had two courses open to him and he chose the wrong one. LDS mistake in telling the British people that we would not accept any preferen- tial treatment at their hands was la- mentable. The time will soon come when the people of the Dominion will let the Liberal Administration know that they are aware of its leallr's error. Little by little are the people beginning to under- stand the workings of the new tariff. The idea that it gave a preference to Britain has been shown to be thoroughly erroneous. In ehis correspondence it has been pointed out that more than a score of foreign countries enjoy identically the same terms as we extend to the Mother Land. The British West Indies and Cape Colony are denied the advantages which we accord to alien lands. Why the at- tempt should have been inade to induce our people to believe ,that conditions were otherwise only Mr. Fielding can explain. The belief in Ottawa is that when Fielding made his budget speech, he was not acquainted with the intrica- cies of his subject. Sir Richard Cart- wright, who is an authority on fiscal subjects, smiled sardonically as the man who had supplanted him stumbled through Ms speech The old knight knew right well that trouble was in store for Fielding, but saw no reason why he should furnish brains to the oross-roads politician who now holds the Finance portfolio. Fielding and Tarte have proved to be. millstones about the neok of the Government. Tarte will re- main so, for Sir Wilfrid cannot rid him- self of the Warwick of Quebec. Moreover, Tarte knows that a movement is On Not to oust him, and has signified to his friends that if the worst comes to the worst, he will make things unpleasant for Sir Wilfrid and the Administration. This threat, of course, means that Mr. Tarte is prepared to "split" on his col- leagues. It means that he is ready to tell the people of Canada how Quebec was carried in .Tune, 1896. He is ready to tell where the money came from, but it is not probable that, for personal reasons, be will tell where all of it went to. Meanwhile, in La Petrie, Mr. Tarte con- tinues to anatheinatize the men who declined to allow his Drummond County deal to go through. Knowing that the people look with suspicion on this un- savory mattter, he has tried to transfer some of the blame to the Conservatives in the House of Commons. .He says in La Petrie that "the Drummond County bill went through the House of Com- mons without any dissent from the Con- servatives." This, of course, is untrue, but it is fairly near the truth as far as Mr. Tarte's habits go. Hon. Clarke Wallace and other Conservatives were opposed to the nieasure, but they did not make a protracted fight over what was already a dead issue. It was known that the watchful Conservatives in the Sen- ate, led by. Sir Mackenzie Bowell, would me to it that the Drummond County iniquity would not become law. Mr. Tarte dreads an' investigation, He threat- ens the ,Senate with annihilation, and announces tlit any Liberal who declines to fall in with his views will be subjected ' Wilfrid do DOW that he is io political ostracism. The question is: Whatwill Sir Wil t home He must know that Tarte's : echonie is regarded with open suspicion by the people. The Premier, who is an honest man, cannot turn a deaf ear to the serious charges inacle.by the Hunt- , ingdon Gleaner, the . Montreal. Witness, the Stumm Reformer and other Liberal neWspapers. Sir Wilfrid cannot afford to ' ignore Dote'sboast that the Liberal ' party paid $80,000 for a newspaper for him and his sons He must take some action/ The honest Liberals of the Mont- , real district are tired of Tarte and Inc 'petty despotism. He is continually play- . t. ing Richelieu., He is never slow to tell : the people that he is the demiurge from whom .benefits will come. Inferentially he tells his followers that he is the Pre- mier de facto, and that Sir Wilfrid Lam- ' ,er is only the First Minister in main& r When,Taines Sutherland,. the chief Lib - oral whip, went to Montreal to read the riot act to Tarte, he was sent borne with a flea in his ear. Taxte told him that it ethe Province of Quebec the Liberal leader was Tarte, and that no outside interfer- ,ence would be brooked. After which Mr. ,Sutherland vvas shown the door. Sir Wil- frid is not going to have an easy time of it for the next few months. He knows that be should rid hiinself of Tarte, but .the political Old Man of the Sea won't Lord Farrer's speech shows that Free Traders of England properly lieve that the present Canadian Gov meet's goal is Free Trade and the w drawal of protectiou from our menu turers. More than this, the Cobden —who, by the way,seem to have been vanized into new life for this cocas only --take a slap at the Imperiat id Sir Wilfrid, when before mixed a mice& was, or said he was, an ard Imperialist. Let us hear Lord Far Said he:— . "If commercial federation of the E Dire was to be the consequence of w you have done, 1 need scarcely say t we of the Cobden Club should not ri be here. It is became we believe t your efforts are founded on an oppo principle, and will be followed by posite results, that we, followers Adam Sinith,and of Peel, of Bright, of Cobden, are here to congratulate to tbank you. You do not ask us abate one jot of our free trade princip YOU ask for no preferential treatme you make yourselves as large a step the direotion of free trade as your p ent circumstances will permit, and desire to treat the rest of the world you are now treating us. It is needl for me to dwell upon the part wh you, sir, have had in this great mo remit, nor is this the time or place enlarge upon its political and moral b frig. Let rne teoncludee however, by s ing that in our opinion, as in that of great man whose name we bear, statesman who helps to remove the a ficial barriers that shortsighted legis tion has erected between nations truth not only the material interests, but highest aspirations of humanity." We now know exactly where the L erals are leading us. They have deolin to do anything towards securing Canada preferential treatment in Gr Britain. They have scattered their gi broadcast over the world, civilized a uncivilized. They have denied to o own kin thot which they freely give strangers. They have sent their lea to England to exalt the principles Free•Trade, and to tell a little band unimportant doctrinaires that Caned Government is ready to sit at the feet these Gamaliels.

Premier Hardy 1 arful of defeat. He has made a deal ith the Ottawa Government by which will be saved when the ship goes wn. In his pocket the 'Wicked Premier s the promise of the Lieutenant-Gov- norship of Ontario. It is evident that • Hardy still declines to work hard r a living. Of course, Sir Wilfrid may keep his omise to nialse him Lieutenant -Gm/ - nor of Ontario, but concerning this al Sir Oliver Mowat will have a word say. Sir Oliver is an old inan now, d feels that he is entitled to a rest. oreover, he does not love Hardy, and ose who know say that the Minister of stice would be tickled to see the On- io Premier done ont of his sought -for ward. As for Harcourt Ross, Gibson, yden and the other Provincial minis - s, they reeognize that they will have make the fight of their lives. Harcourt s been a lamentable failure as Prov1n- 1 Secretary. Col. Gibson is an affable d lazy gentleman, who possesses in a sicierable degree Hardy's conviction t the province should support him. ss, the 'Minister of Education, is able unscrupu/ous; the firm friend of the ool book publishers, the autocrat of a artnient which has deteriorated under management. Dryden and Harty are irelieatis, who never termed either the eminent or the Opposition. Sir Oliver wat never wanted too many "heavy" n around him.

He is bound to come to the front. is Lord Parrer's Speech at the Cobden Club.

The evidence of Christ's resurrection, though founded on testhnony which ap- peals to faith rather than sight, is suffi- cient for faith to rest on, and therefore leaves ell unbelievers without excuse. Let.thene but examine the testimony, humbly and impartially, and they can- not fail to be convinced. This remark is true applied to any of the great doctrines of the Bible. It has been proved OVer and over again that yvhere the truth of God is honored with fair investigation it dis- arms prejudice and begets conviotion. Man is endowed with the power of thought, and the possession of this power imposes on him the obligation of thought, the duty to think, and to think for himself upon the great themes of Revelation; to investigate the testimony whereby they are substantiated, so that he may reach just and satisfactory eon - elusions in relation to t1men3. She One Book. NOW, wholly apart from its religions or from its ethical value, the I3ible is one of the books that Po intelligent per- son who desires to come into contact with the world of thought and to share the ideas of the great minds of the Chris- tian era can afford to be ignorant of. All modern literature ;trid all art are per- meated With it There is scarcely a great work in the Iengtiaee that wen be fully understood and enjoyed without this knovviedge, so full is it of allusions arid illustrations from the Bible. This is true of fiction, of poetry, of economic and of philosophic works, and also of the scien- tific and even agnostic treatises. It is not at all a question of religion, or theology, or of dogma; it is a, question of general intelligence. LORD SALISBURY.

The Marquis of Salisbury is a very interesting parliamentary figure, CP rallell from his weaknesses as from his strength, I have heard it said by elder- ly men in the house of conamons thav at one time the present leader of 'the Tory party in the peers was as slender and fragile a looking man as his nephew Mr. Balfour, but it is rather hard to re- alize that fact now. He is extremely heavy, approaching, I should say, 260 pounds, and all his frame is on it large and awkward scale. The head is very large aud the brows equally so. He wears it full beard. The eyes are rather small, though bright, and underneath they have the baggy appearance which used to be so remarkable a feature in the face of the late Mr. Blaine. When he stands up to speak, he has a curious faroff manner, He never consults a note, he never makes a gesture, be never looks at anybody, either befnre him er behind hint or axouncl him, anti his voice scarcely ever has any modifi- cation of tone. In short,, he seems to be delivering it monologue, with entire nu- consoiousness of the presence of any of the brilliant audience Whieh so often gathers to bear him, The voice is strong and penetrating, and yet there is a cer- tain inineingness about it, as of an un- dergraduate that bad not got quite aver the affectations of his first youth. And his speeches, accordingly, are not very effective when delivered. They are too monotonous, too lifeless, too spectral, in fact, to touch those chords of emotion whieh are reached by the real orator, On the other hand, the speeches of Lord Salisbury read better than those of any other politician of his time except Mr. John Motley's, The truth is that Lord Salisbury is a literary man by instinct and to a certain extent by training, and he has all the excellences and all the defects of the literary man turned poli- tician. Marrying all against his father's will, and a younger son, be bad but a small income in the early days of his married life. The late Mr. Beresford Hope fortunately conceived at this crit- ical period the idea of starting the once famous Saturday Review. Mr. Beres- ford Hope was a brother-in-law of Lord Robert Cecil, as the Marquis of Salis- bury then was called, and Lord Robert Cecil immediately became one of the forenaost coutributors of the new jour- nal. He wrote in very goodly company. It is indeed hard to mention any man of eminence of that period who was starting life in London who did not contribute to The Saturday. The late Lord justice Bowne, one of the greatest of our modern judges, Sir Pitzjanaes Stephen, Mr. Leslie Stephen, Sir Wil- liam Harcourt and Mr. John Morley are among those who at one time or another contributed to the columns of the new jonrnal. In those clays it had an enor- roodi reputation, mainly became of the oynioal boldness of its connnents. To a certain extent Lord Salisbury has never altogether ceased to be the Saturday Reviewer. His state papers, written often in periods of great excite- ment and of great peril, have all the lucidity, sharpness and sometimes the acrimony of the articles lie used to eon - tribute to the great satirical journal in his early days. His wit continues to be somewhat sardonic, and to be literary rather than political—that is to say, he thinks more of the turn of the phrase than of the living flesh and blood, the mighty network of emotions, passions and susceptibilities, into which the phrase may sometimes drop like molten lead on living flesh. He, too, has car- ried to a certain extent into public life the intellectual arrogance of tho scholar and the writer. Since he left the house of commons be has lived a life of almost entire se- clusion, except for his daily and brief t appearances in the house of lords dur- ing the parliamentary session and for f his occasional appearances on the plat- form at great gatherings of his party. He lives in Hatfield House, which is c' not far from London, and one sees the announcement, even in exciting times, almost every day that he has left town t for Hatfield. One of the gonsequences o of this isolation is that be sonaetimes t wakes curious blunders in fact and still greater blunders in tactics, and often a speech of his creates dismay in his own 1) party. But he remains a very pictur- scene and a very worthy figure in our political life. His home is a model of 1 ffeotion and the best traditions of piety t cd honor. He is sincerely patriotic, and, 11 whatever be the limitations or narrow- f less of his creed, bis is essentially- an ntellectual and distinguished nature. -"The Celebrities of the House of nq onimons," by T.

Text of the Lesson, tom. scin, 941—Mem- ory Verses, le-Is—Golden Text, Dom.. 3011, 23.—Cennmentary by the 1tev, D. Ise Stearns. 9. "Let love be without dissianniation. Abhor that which is evil. Cleave to that whiola is good." The R. V. says, "Let love he without hypocrisy." The Holy Spirit through John Says, "Let us not love in word, neither in tongue, but In deed and in truth" (I John i)1, 18). The title of our lesson is "Christian,Liv Ing," which Is elsewhere defined as "the life of .Tesus made manifest in our mortal flesh." The thirteenth chapter of I °oxen - Wens describes the love that was mani- fest in Christ as never in any other, and He will manifest that love and that life in us in proportion as we present to Him our bodies a living sacrifice (verse 1). 10. "Be kindly affectioned one to an- other with brotherly 'eve, in honor pre- ferring one another." This Is the love r that seeketla not her own; not our own profit, but the profit of many, that they may be saved (I Cor. x, 33; sill, 5), The "therefore" of verse 1 of our lesson chap- ter takes us hack to the "justified freely," "justified by faith," "no condemnation," "freely* with Him all things," etc., of s Ron). iii, 24; v, 1; viii, le 32, and because of all this it is surely a reasonable thing that we should let Him have our whole being, that He way by renewing our in hada transform -us into His own image (Rona. viii, 29), 11. "Not slothful in business, fervent In spirit, serving tbe Lord." The R, V. says, "In diligence, not elothfui," and in the margin says that some nianuseripts give, "serving the opportunity." Tbe latter would suggest the simplicity of I Sam. x, 7, "Do as occasion serve thee, for God is with thee," and the former would be ID the line of Co]. iii, 23, "Whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and. not unto men," 12. "Rejoicing in hope, patient in tribu- lation, contiuning instant in prayer." I think NVO are safe in saying that the hope in the New Testament generally, if not always, refers to the second conilog of Christ and the events therewith associated. See Ram, r1 2; viii, 24, 25; Titus 11, 13; I John 8. The tribulation that work- eth patience Is our privilege all along the journey (Roin. v, 3; Jahn =I, 88; Rev. I, 9; Heb, x, 36, 37), ited the attitude of Increasing prayer is our great privilege as well as necessity (1 Thess. v, 17; Hob. iv, 16). 13. "Distributing to the necessity of saints, given to hospitality." If one should be asked why lie worked so hard early and late at his daily toil, and should reply, "That I may have to give to hint that needeth," he might seem to be a lit- tle unbalanced In his mind, but be would be talking, as well as living, according to the Scriptures (Dph. iv, 28). 14. "Bless them 'which persecute you; bless and °arse not." Now this is easy talking, but the practice of it is not so popular as to have as yet become the fash- ion. It is, however, the plain teaching of our Lord (Math, v, 44), and He always practiced what He preached. If His life is to be made manifest in ue, this phase of it Is surely Included. It VAS beautifully znanifest in Stephen when he in the midst of their persecution looked like an angel and acted like the Lord Himself (Acts vi 15; 6v). 15. "Rejoice with them that do rejoice, and weep with there that weep." Tho unity of tho body of Christ is such that when the members are abiding in Kim if one member suffers all stiffer with that one, and if ono member be honored' all the members rejoice with it (I Cor. all, 26). This is as it should be, but where is it seen? What, then, ails the body? Is it as in Phil. 11, 21, "All seek their own, not the things which aro Jesus Christ's?" If so, how can the body exit the blessing of the Head? Let each ask himself, Am Ie healthy member of His body or a grief to Him? 16. "Be of the same mind one toward another. Mind not high things, but con- descend to men of low estate. Be not wise in your own conceits." On the second clause the margin says, "Be contented with mean things." The margin of the R. V. says, "Be carried away with them that are lowly." If we will allow our- selves to be carried away with Hini who is meek and lowly, who made Himself of no reputation and tumbled Himself unto death for us, He will surely take possession of us and manifest His life in us. 17. "Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men." Not rendering evil for evil, but, contrariwise, blessing, knowing that ye are thereunto called that ye should inherit a blessing (I Pet. iii, 9). Providing for honest things, not only in the sight of the Lord, but also in the sight of men (II Cor. viii, 21). Whatsoever things are true, honest, just, lovely, we are to think on these things (Phil. iv, 8). 18. "If it be possible, asmuch as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men." This seems very carefully worded. There are those who know nothing of peace, they seem born for .war, and yet somehow they get united to or mixed up with those who are for peace, and the peaceful party seems to be in a good school for the cultivation of patience. Well, we must "let the peace of God rule 151 005 hearts" and be thankful that He is able to subdue, for He is the Prince of Peaoe (Col. iii, 15; Phil. iii, 21). 19. "Dearly beloved, avenge not your- selves, but rather give place unto wrath, for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord." This certainly cannot mean that we are to be satisfied with getting angry, but without taking vengeance. Rather, as In .the R. V. iner- gin, give place to the wrath of God. Let Rim take charge of all the wrath and vengeance business. 20. "Therefore, if thine.eneley hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink, for in so doing thou shalt heap coalsof fire on Lis head " This is a quotation from Prov. xxv, 21, 22, but the last clause of that seage is omitted, ``TheLord shall reward thee.'' 21. "Be not overcome of evil, but over- eOrne evil with good." The ornament of a meek and quiet spieit is in the 8ight of God of great price (I Pet. iii, 4), and the zueek and lowly (me who when He was re- viled, reviled not again; when He suffered, He threatened not, will work in ns spirit and live in es this life whenever we are willing that He should. The vvord 'transformed" in verse 2 of this chapter is the same word that is trans/ated "trans- figured" in Math. xvii, 2; Mark ix, 2, and 'are changed" in Il Cor. iii, 18, and it is used only in these four places. The last passage seems to nie to'show the only way to be thus trzinsfigueed; therefore let us go on "beholding Him" until vve see Him face to face, and then we hall be like nini John iii, 2).

The market was little if at all changed rom the market of last Tuesday, though ve bad, perhaps, a better feeling and core activity. The receipts included .000 bogs, 1,062 lambs and sheep, 50 alves and .not more than one dozen milkers. There was a better business doing in he cattle sbipping department, chiefly wing to more space being obtainable on he boats at Montreal, but prices were ertainly not any firroer, and still ranged rein 4 to 43ec per lb.; in a few oases ioked lots were 10 or 15c more per 100 bs., but as a rule the range NVaS around eic pee lb. About all the stuff sold. The cattle here this morning was argely composed af stockers, in which here was a brisk trade doing for Buffalo; rices ranged from 294 to 131/0), and 334t3 or really choice. The inarret for butchers' cattle was air and unchanged; everything sold; the uality was usually not up to the re- uired mark. The enquiry foe anything eally good was steady enough; and more rst-C]ass meats would have gone; as a atter of fact 4o was paid for picked ts of butchers' stuff two or three tirnes; it for ordinary trade the range was OM 334 to394c; occasionally 3eec was Mined.

"Philip," said Mr. Gratebar, "the Irian that gets the farthest in this world is the man that keeps moving. This may seem like a self evident truth, but there are nevertheless many persons who do not seem to realize it Many a rich prize in life has been lost by sheer laziness. "Keep moving, Philip.
