EDITORIAL, NOTES.
To -day (Thursday) has been nem -
ed by Sir John A. Macdonald. for the
consideration of the Senate's amend -
merits to the Soott Aot.
SECRETARY BAIRD, Of the Smith-
*onion Institato, Washington, very
goodenthority, has written a letter
to a newspaper, iu which he calla
attention to the beneficial effect of
boiling increasing the healthiness of
water. Had this praoiiee prevailed
on the first outbreak of the typhoid
disease, al Plymouth, Pa., he says it
is very probable that the number of
casae of ittnees and of death might
Lave been greatly diminished. In
the cholera season, he Bays, this
treatment is especially imjortant.
Ile says writer should be boiled lively
for half en hour, in order to kill
the germs of the disease,
MR t#l.oRox STEi'HENO, President of
the Canadian Pacific liailway, made 1
the following remarks concerning tilei
working of the road. as the adjourr:ed
meeting of the shareholders et Mon
treat on Saturday Last.
"I will not follow the example set the
President of of Ibe Oraud Trunk Company,
and croupy your attention with any opinions
I may have on the condition and prospects I
of that railway, or of any other business I
competitor ; I could not dot do so without
eehng that 1 was guilty of wanton imperti-
nence. With reference to the conundrum
proposed by Sir Henry Tyler to his abara-
holders, about the difficulty of working our
line "with a very severe climate and all
aorta of disadvantages." much greater, as he
claims, than those under which his road Is.
bore, it is sufficient to say that during the
two years we have been working the line be.
tween Lake Superior and the Rocky Moun-
tains, a dietanoe of nearly fifteen hundred.
iniloe, we have no, it may surprise you to
know, had occasion to use a snow -plough to
keep the line open, and during the past un-
tieaally severe winter not one train has been
delayed aminute on allot our lines iu the',
North -Rest by suow or cold weather. Nor
have I any apprehousion that, .in publishing
our weekly statements of earnings, we will
.often be obliged to resort to the explanatory
sable familiar to Grand Trunk shareholders,
"Line blocked by snow." For is it not with.
iu the knowledge of every Canadian present.
that during the peat winter there was more
trouble from snow and more detentions to
trains from severe weather on the 330 miles
of the Grand Trunk Railway between Mon-
treal and Toronto than on all the 2,800 miles
operated by the Canadian Pacific Company ?
I commenced these remarks by saying that I
regretted that tee President of the Grand.
Trunk Company had gone out of his way to
speak ill of this. Company, and I repeat Ibis
regret most sincerely."
"Rev. James Gray, late of this town, who
spent a very large portion of his 35 years'
ministry among the Indiana of Ontario,
made tberemark a few days since that "he
knew intimately almost all the Indiana of
this Province), and they were no more fit to
be entrusted with the franchise than a lot of
barbarians."
The above is from the Clinton New
Eta of last week. If the above state-
ment, attributed by the editor of the
Era to Rev. James Gray, be true,
then the labors of the rev. gentleman
as a minister of the Gospel among
the Indiana of this Province for near-
ly thirty-five years has been a fail-
ure, and the large amount of money
which the Methodist Church confer-
ences annually appropriate for Indian
missions, which is collected from the
members and adherents of that
church, is thrown' away, and the re-
ported success of the missionary
among the red men, which is publish:
ed every,year, is, to put it mildly, in-
correct. The report informs the pub:
lic of the number of Indians in full
connection, as well as the number of
probationers, the number of schools
established among the different tribes
in Ontario and other planes, the num:
bar of pupils attending each sohool,
:and the number of native teachers
employed in leaohing. ' From this re
l'perb the contributors to the mission
(fund learn how the money is spent;
-yet, notwithstanding this reported
progeee of Christianity and civilize -
tion among the Indians, Methodist
ministers who have labored among
%ahem are quoted as authority for
saying that they are no more fit to
she entrusted with the franchise than
"'barbarians."

"Barly in ilfarolr a quantity at stores

a police barraoka, but rather an out -
