One of the marked features of the
day is the care bestowed on neglected
and dependent children, Very nearly
thirty thousand children from different
fat mes and institutions in Britain have
been placed in Ontario between the
years 1872 and 187. From time to
time there has been much press com-
ment, commendatory and the reverse*
on this system, of transferring these
waifs of the submerged tenth of Brit-
ain's unfortunates. claimiug that our
own neglected poor sbcu:d have our
first care. This is now being done and

Hall tins morning, Mr. Justice, Mefeen
nen handed out judgement in the elec-
tion appeals of West Elgin, and South
Perth.
West Elgin, it will be remembered,
was a tie, at the recount, with the cast
ing vote in the hands of the returning
officer, and the seat was consequently
claimed by itieNish, the Liberal. There
was an appeal, however, to certain hal
lots -47 in all, All these were ruled
out by the judgement save eve ballots,.
which had beeu rejected by the county
judge because they bore other initials
than those of the deputy returning of
ricer, Three ot these were allowed for
McDiarmad and two for McNish, the.
net results beiug to give a majority of
one to McDiarmid, the Conservative
candidate, thereby ensuring hien the
seat.

name in large type overlapped the lines
and went into the dtti•.iston allotted to a
third candidata, named Frame. Judge
McLennan went into this point, and
stated his conviction that there was
reasonable ground for believing that
voters in each of these caaes bad in-
tended to vote for Frame. The result
of the election depended, of ceurse, ou
these ballots. Without them Mr,
1loscrip has a majority of .four, and
the judge having ruled them out, the
seat is given to him.
This closes the appeals in connection
with the recounts, and leaves the Gov-
ernment the gainer by one coustit
uency, namely, West Huron.
Brantford society and the report of S.
Thomsen, the etttetent and euergetie
secretary, contains much interesting
information and many 'useful eugges
tions a .bout future work, The Brant -
toll society is manifestly doing much
good in this child saving wont, In
May 1893 the lion. J. M. Gibson intro,
deiced and carried the Children's Pro-
tection Act through the Legislature
and the fifth annual report of the
Superintendent, Mr, J. J. Kelso, is on
table. From this it appears that in
four years from 1594 to 1897 inclusive,
foster homes for 6031 Canadiau child -
ran Rave beets found. These children
were mainly taken from homes unfit Per
Children and from parents whose lives
were a menace to the moral and mater-
ial welfare of their offspring. Last
year 182 children were placed ha homes
in the various counties in Ontario but
only two were placed in the County of
N.oefii
1*. Had these 6033 children been
perniittei to grow up environed by the
immoral influences of the wretched'
abodes from which they were rescued,
they would have farmed a dangerous
faeter in society, addiug to its immoral
and crimival statistics, and costing the'.
country vastly more for their punish
went than has been spent in saving
them from wretchedness and crime.
While it is the duty of Christians to aid
*eglectea children wherever they are,
it is mauifestly both an individul and.
national duty to prevent children from
growing up in iguorance and immor-
ality and thus increase our criminal
population. Our first duty is to the
children of our owu land and then do
what we can for othera.
POLITICAL MORALITY.
One of the great needs of this coun •
try is a higher standard of political
morality. Men in public life should
be as truthful and honest in political
matters as they are in their private
business, The principles professed and
the promises made, by which a polit-
ical party gains power, should be as
honorably observed and redeemed as a
note is paid or a debt discharged in the
transactions of ordinary life. To make
light of such a course as is often pur-
sued, and laugh, as though a good joke
had been perpetrated, when called
upon to redeem promises made to the
public, degrades political life and react
upon society and tends to lower the
general standard of morals. Just as
robbing an orchard, exchanging an
old umbrella for a new one at a public
entertainment, or borrowing a book
and failing to return it prepares the
persons doing it for a more serious
stealing, so the deliberate failure to
redeem political promises loosens the
bonds of political morality and leads to
all sorts of trickery detrimental to the
public welfare, and subversive of that
righteousness which e-alteth a nation.

The laws of England with regard to
artificial aids to beauty are not so
strict now as they were iu the reign of
Charles Il. In the year 1670 this cur.
boils act of parliament was passed :----
That all women, of whatever age, rank,
prafeessou or degree, whether virgins,
maids or widows, that shall, from sifter
the passing of this act, impose upon
and betray into matrimony any of his
majesty's male subjects by scents,
paints, cosmetics, washes, artificial
teeth, falai hair, Spanish wool, iron.

stored hip, shall incur the penalty of
the laws now in force against witch-
craft, sorcery and such like misde-
meanors, and that the marriage, upon
conviction, shall stand unit and void.
One of the astonishing thins of this
century to the rapid transition of Japan
from what westeru tions call a state
of barbarism to eivilizetion and power.
There is no parallel to it in the history
of the world. This has been accetn-
plished in less than fifty years, It indi-
cates the possibilities within reach of
the yellow race. If the four hundred
and fifty trillion Chinese would adopt
the plan pursued by the forty million
Japanese, a power would be created
that might overrun. European(' ehange
the whole current of history, To pro
duce such a power is the hope of Japan
and, the fear of Russia, and to this fear
may be attributed the scheme of slic-
ing up the Chinese Empire. Japanese
writers, such as Medori Komatz and
Oshoi. Klima, A M, Ph D., admit such
a possibility though denying any-inten-
tion
nyinten-
tion on the part of Japan to make such
a move against the west. The whole
matter is provocation of thought.
The wild rushfor the Yukon gold
fields probably equals anything that
has ever bean. Though nothing but dis-
appointment awaits nine tenths, and
probably a much larger proportion, of
the adventurers, still they are largely
of the nation -making stuff, and if they
do not find gold in the form in which
they look for it they will, many of them
find it where they do not think. The
story of the old Ulan's sons iu the fable
is opposite. Dying, he told them of a
treasure hid in the ground of the farm.
They subsoiled the whole farm with-
out unearthing it, but when they saw
what crops followed that process they
agreed that their father had kept his
word with them. Canada has not only
gold fields such as were never before
known, but she has farms waiting to
be tilled, and the gold -seeking multi
tudes will stimulate the opening of
these. It is there and not in Yukon,
that.real wealth can be made. It is a
question if in gold fields the sowing is
not on the average as heavy as the
harvest, while on the prairies the par
vest is many times the sowing.

It is just .possible we shall have a

the government seem to' shrink from
assuming the responsibility, Mr. For -
