Deo. 17-tb, 55 tmtivt tott*, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 1st, 1806 NOTES AND COMMEeNTS. It will nowbe inorderfor someoneto explain how it is that the Laurier Gov ernment has increased the estimates by something like eight million dollars more than theConservatives expended, and. by eight million dollars more than the revenue of this country will meet. Where is the free trade policy coming in ? + X = Daniel MeGillienddy, of the Gode- rich Signal, is chagrined because he is not a brother of Thos. Gibson, M. P. 1)4, for East Huron. Dan was an ap- plicant for the Registrarship, rendered vacant by the death ef,Tanees Dickson, and the appointment went the way of A. le Gibson, the M. P. P's brother. We can simply say that Dan would. leave made an etlicieut officer. - The Ridgetovvn Dominion says: - "Mr. Laurier's political guillotine has fallen in this locality. Dr, Delaski ISlarr, who has been Moravian Indian Physician for several years, has been .notified that his services will not be Xequired after the close of the present month, and Dr. McPhail, of Highgate, has been appointed in his place. It is needless to add that Dr. Mare ie a Conservative, and his successor a good Liberal who did active service in the late campaign. x + A Canadian just returned from the States has bad an opportunity to test the sentiment of one great industrial establishment inNew York. Ilis report 4 is that the heads of the firm and the hands in the office are all for McKin- ley, but that the workmen in the fac- tory are all for Bryan. This observer concludes that the majority of the people in the United States have no more sense than the workmen itt this particular factory, and therefore he apprehends that there is some danger of Bryan's election. Rochester banks are "retaliating"' upon the Doniinion Government for keeping a 20 per cent. discount on American silver, by placing the same discount on Canadian silver. The New York Mali and Dispatch calls the Canadian action "a boycott rashly in- stituted, and one that two can play at." But Canadians do not carry to the States any burdensome amount of silver. Their notes redeemable by Government in goldwill still be grabb- ed at by Americans, and where such bills are not received British gold is available. Canadians need not care a flip for the Rochester form of "retali- ation." x + An intelligent correspondent writing on, the subject of the fast steamships and cold storage, observes that this Service for Canada is not a mere question of trade, all important as this is. It is a, question of national develop- ment/and nationatconsolidation, on both of which not only the extension, but the continued existence of trade de- pends with the Canadian Pacific Rail- way or other national roads playing hate the hands of the fast service, and the fast service playing into the hands of the national roads, and a brisk emulation stimulating the whole -a system of general transit should be possible that would defy competition from anything in any part of this continent. If Canada is to •exist for the Canadians, and not for some one else; if consolidation of the federal system, the unificatiou of divergent social elements, the Ilan monizing of races and religions and material interests be good things, whatever best helps to promote these ends must be good things also. No thine in modern times has helped more to civilize, and even evangelize. the world than these great mechanical agencies, which have annihilated space, brought distant peoples together, distributed and adjusted commodities,• inirtimized famine, discouraged war laid the foundation of a kingdom tsict8Ini°80,11;totelseothrinintog.htehnel'osvi'rtwsieih,wicehlisrillcYeoin,,blieetiefrMoaeri's: Laurier's way in regard to the Manitoba school question. Itis that the Liberal restoration of Separate Schools in substitution of natural and secular Langevin persists in apyealing to the party will meet the continued demand Catholic bishops and clericals of Que- bec to agitate in favor of Catholic schools in Quebec for the Catholic• and clerical system. That is, if Archbishop of the clerical party in Quebec for the Manitoba with an agitation for the 1 under the auspices of Mr, Laurier will come out straight, for national schools in Quebec. M. Tarte is said to be preparing plans now for making na- tional sal:toots the issue in the coming provincial campaign, in Quebec. At present the Conservatives govern that proyince; the Liberals desire to add Quebec to their galaxy, and they think national schools the best way thereto. Whether the agitation will im- mediately emceed or not we cannot say, but it will certainly give the bis- hops of Quebec and the AI.P.'s from that province pause ia their program evhich they have hitherto purse -ed. They will have to devote their energy to answering the charge now being made in some of the Quebec papers with strong fads and figuree behind them that the widespread illiteracy of the people of Quebec is largely due to the clerical system; they will be on the defensive, not on the attack. The whole incident also throws a strong side -light on the wisdom of the Catholic Bishops of Ontario, in eh - staining from public agitation in re- gard to the Manitoba schools. There is now no longer any fear of Separate Schools beingfoisted on 'Mani- toba; and if this is to be the result, with still further probable result, of a revolution in the school system of Quebec, of the defeat of the Conserva- tive party in June last, the people may think that the price was not too high to pay. - Believers iu the power and useful- ness of any good roads moverneut now existing in this country must have faith above the portion alloted to the average man. So much is heard and seen of the "good roads move- ment" that the ear and eye is tempted to accept sound and print as proof that the roads are really being improved. The "good. roads movement" may teach the rural path master a better way of employing the energy which is now wasted in the annual rural diver- sion, which, withflne sarcasm, is called statute "labor." If the movement has this good effect the money which the Provincial Government devotes to en- couragement will not be wasted. + x + Rev. Charles A. Eaton finds in his travels that the average Englishman cares little for and knows less of Can- ada. Therefore Mr. Eaton urges his fellow countrymen to rise with him and erect this British Dominion into an independent republic. To do Mr. Eaton justice he does not urge English ignorance of Canada as a reason why Canada should throw herself into the arms of the United States. But why should Canada be influenced in any way by what the average Englishina,n thinks about this country. Canadians cannot know as little about England as Euglishmen know about Canada. They are too intelligent for that. But Canadians can care as little about Englishmen as Eoglishmen care about Canadians. Canadians may not be able to equal the ignorance of English- men of Mr. Eaton's acquaintance, but they can iroitate the indifference of those Englishmen. Canadians do not esteem British connection for Eng- land's sake, but for their own and for humanity's sake. ++ The Huron Signal solicits the opini- ons of the County press on the ques- tion of members of Parliament ap- pointing themselves to public offices. The system is unfair and a bad one. The local member, in holding the patronage in his band, enjoys an un- due advantage over those who elected him. He is elected by the people to represent them, and his every act should be for the publicgood, and calculated to satisfy the majority, not the individual member. Unsnap the candidate seeks the office, and the party to whichhe belongs spends much money in securing his election. Why then, when the member secures the sessional allowance, don't he show a thankful spirit and ender/Ivor to bestow upon his constituents any vacant office, in his gift, instead of using his position as -member, for which he is well paid, as a stepping stone n •into some fat lifedong job. The argument has been used that it would be unfair, simply because one is a, member, to debar him from applying for an of- fice. The argument is no good. The member, ,as such, has an. advantage over other applicants who might be doubtly deserving consideration, but who not being in the circle, is greatly handicapped. THE TIALES IV ill echo the Signal along these lines and assist in stamping out the evil, for such it f the brotherhood of men. Is. Toronto has a population of 178,185 , Mr. J. C. Donaldson, barrister, Fee. itd an asscesreent of $142,464,000. A ! gus, is lying very ill of cancer of the eed increase in both over last year. stomach, and hie life is despaired of. TRE EXET1I11 1.1'iMES Soon oblivion Avill swallow theMani- toba, School Question and still have room in the roof of its gloomy mouth for the politicians who gave the Con- servative party the wrong turn upon that issue. = Ohio orchardists are grumbling over the big apple crop and low prices. One farmer sears he will have three -thousand barrels at 75c. per bbl., or $2,100, while the average yield would be seven hundred bbls. at $1.75 e barrel. His hardship can be seen at once. If it were not Presidental year the farmers over there would ruost likely think themselves in clo- ver. But it is not Presidental year in Canada, and. yet there is plenty of grumbling heard over the low prices, the plentiful harvese not be- ing considered. A market gardener was heard declaring that the late killing frost was welcome in, remov- ing an excess of vegetable products, and affording better prices for which was left, Happy is the lot of a cam- „ munity where such a feeling can exist. + x Gladstone's inferiority as a practical statesman is one of the causes which reuders it impossible for England, hu- manly speaking, to be guided by Glad - stone's superiority in this crisis. There is a tendency to defy the Grand Old Man on the strength of his words, in forgetfulness of the acts of that Grand Old Man, It is the misfortune of Britain and of the Armenians, and of every cause which might be served by Britain's strength, that Gladstene itt the past has been so often in the posi- tion to weaken by his acts the powers of a nation which is now being urged by his words tograpple with the Turk. But Gladstone or no Gladstone there are thousands who believe that if Bri- tain forced the Dardanelles the Arme- n ians !night besaved without endanger. ing Britairensupremacy. These simple people may be mistaken, but their po- sition is supported by the historic truth that the Britieh empire has seldom come to grief on the path of duty. II - II Dairymen have been jubilant over the recent favorable outlook for cheese. The trade Bulletin informs us that never before have factorymen sold their makeup closer than at pres- ent for this season of the year, and. consequently they are in a better po- sition to hold their long keeping cheese, although if any further weak- ening of the market manifested itself, timer would no doubt rush in to realize like a flock of sheep, in which case shippers would have a better show in getting in on the safer basia'as it must be admitted that the price of cheese is above the parity of yalues of other provisions. Another fact which should not be lost sight of in discuss- ing the cheese question is the reported short make in Great Britain, which is estimated by acknowledged authori- ties on the other side to be 25 . to 30 per cent short of a good average pro- duction. If this should turn out to be true, it will mean a deficit of from 1,000,000 to 1,200.000 boxes. That there is a material shrinkage on the other side seems to be borne out by the small pitches of cheese in the pro- vincial markets of England of late. The extent of this shortage is account- ed for not only by the drought dur- ing the past sumnier producing poor pastures, but also front the fact that, many farmers throughout England have given up cheese making, as they found it more profitable to send their milk to the lar ge cities and towns for. daily consumption. The shipments of cheese from Canada during the pres- ent season to the close of last week were 1,058,172 boxes, against 1,052,593 boxes in 1895, showing an increase of about 5,600 boxes; but it must be re- membered that stocks here are very light. as almost allethe make up to August has been exported, while it is well known that last. year It this time the cold storage room was filled to repletion with summer goods. After a, peroid of low prices for this prime product of, the Canadian far- mer, the prospects now seem to be most cheering. The appreciation of cheese values should help tho other farrn. products. Robert Porteous. one of Pais/ey's most influential citizens, is dead. The nucle body.of a man was dis- eoVerecl floating on the Niagararapids Monday. No clue to his identity. Sir Mackenzie Bowell, Mr. Corby, M. P., and Mr. W. H. Biggar, M. P. P., have offered medals for competi- tion in the schoolof Belleville. There is now another Senate vac- ancy. Senator Ferguson, whose death has been looked for for several months died at his home near Toronto last week. Deceased had been suffering for months from Bright's disease. He represented the Niagara district in the Senate, appointed by Sir John Mac- donald in 1892. At the Toronto police court Thos. McDonald was sentenced to four years at Kingston Penitentiary, and Edward Macpherson to threeanda, half years in the (same institution, for highway rqbbery on Michael Cashman, whom they assaulted and robbed on the night of Septenaber 17, while the, latter was on his. way to work.. The Zuriche Pam The annual fall exhibition of the Ray Branch Agricultural Society was held at Zurich, on Wednesday and Thurs- day last. As usual it was a success, every department being well filled. A better show of hors et has not been seen in any show ring this year. The weather was all that could be desired and everything passed of satisfa.ctorly to exhibitors and sight -seers.

Upon pure, rich blood and you need not fear -nervous prostration. Nerves are weak when they are improperly and insufficiently. nourished. Pure blood is their proper food, and pure blood comes by taking Hood's Sarsa- parilla, which is thes the greatest and best nerve tonic. It also builds up the whole system. Hood's Pills are the favorite family cathartic easy- to take easy to oper- ate Bethesda. Several couniamicatiens have lately appeared in the Advocate from the pen of the Hurondale correspondent, in which greatspace has been given to the Bethesda Church trouble, We deeply regret that this matter should have been dragned with such persist. ence into the newspaper columns, for we think that the church alone, and not the general public, should be the judge of the actions of the trustees, and that the time to nave the diseus- sion is at the meeting of the Board, We further regret that H. C. has nob given the public a. correct review of the case, for he has so thoroughly mis- represented the whole affair that we as trustees have determined to give the public the plaits unvarnished facts in order to enlighten those who have read his communications and who know little of the real state of affairs, and justify the trustees and the honor. able people of this neighborhood who by hum have been made the object of so many ,contenuptable insinuations. We wish to maintain no correspond- ence; our object in writing this Is to assert once and for all that the trus- tees of the church have acted honor- ably throughout this trouble, and to deny emphatically, the barefaced mis- representations of the H. C, the facts simply stated are these. The past or - garnet had presided at the organ for several years, but for sense time past there has been a desire in the congreg- ation for lier resignation. She was made acquainted with that feeling by successiye pastors but refused to give way. At last a meeting of the trustee board. was called to consider the mat- ter. After due discussion it was de- cided to dispense with her services, and mark, the resolution to this effect was passed withottt a dissenting voice in an almost fall board. The secretary was then instructed to send her en in- timation of our action. .Now this let- ter sent by the Secretary is the "for- gery" he is accused of;like many others of the H. C's charges, this oue is posit- ively silly, the rules of the church state that the Inkster appoints and dismisses the organists. The pastor shnply car- ries out the will of the people and lie together with the board instructed the Seeretary to scud this letter, a fact which cannot be denied. After the first meeting was held someone made the impoetant discovery that written notices to attend their meeting had not been served upon the members of the board, a thing unheard of here. He also found that a retiring pastor was present. On these grounds a few hoped to invalidate the acts of the first meeting. For the seke of peace, and to have the Matter fully settled, the trustees consented to a, second meeting and there we learned that custom is law and that transacted busi- ness cannot be voided by such mean- spirited quibbling. The former Meet- ing was declared legal by the pastor and all its minutes were adopted; does not this very fact plainly show that it is an overwhelming majority of the congregation who are acting through thew representatives, the board of trustees! Surely we have some sense of justice 'although the II. C. appears to claim all of that commodity found in this seetion for himself. Even he has not kept himself unspotted from the world. The charge that the trus- tee board was a party to the locking of the organ was laid at our doors. To free ourselves from this imputation we passed a resolution to the effect that we repudiated the act and regret- ted that the organist should have been humiliated by the net of an unauthor- ized. person. For the IL C. to say that the board apologised to the organist for their action is a pure misrepresen- tation. Our actions needed no apology for they were all open and above 'board and we intend to stand by them. He stated that at the second meeting nothing could be laid to the charge ctf the organist. He should have substi- hated "was" for could be, and then he would have been correct. We have no desire to speak against the past or- ganist, but there is an end to patience and we have heard so much of that argnment that we dismissed her with- out cause.
