SEAFORTH, FRIDAY, Oct. 28th, 1898
West Huron.
It is stated that an arrangement has been
made between the parties interefited, where-
by the West Huron protest proceedings
will be dropped. Mr. Garrow will resign
the seat, and the battle of last March will
be fought oyer again. This, no ddubt, was
found to be the simplest and least expensive
way out of the difftculty. It will be remem-
bered that after a scrutiny of the ballots be-
fore the county judge, and an appeal to the
higher court at Toronte, the result was de-
clared a tie, and Mr. • Garrow wasi elected
by the casting vote of the returning officer.
It is likely that Mr. Garrow and Mr. Beck
will again be the candidates. There should
be no doubt as to the result, let the election
come when it will. We fancy the! Liberals
of West Huron have received a lession which
they will not soon forget, and they will not
again allow themselves to be lulled into a
feeling of over confidence such as 0 nearly
resulted in defeat for them at the Ilast elec-
t ion. West Huron svill have the luxury of
two elections within the next few months,
on S for the Legialature and one for the Do-
minion Parliament. They had better make
one job of it and have both on the same
day.
St. Andrew's Qhurch, Toronto,
and its Late Pastor.
The congregation of -St. Andrew's church,
Toronto, and the conduct of their late pas-
tor, Rev. Mr. McCaughan, have recently
formed thernes for considerable discussion
in the public press not alone of Toronto,
but of the province. It is very rarely the
cane that the translatien of El:pastor, from
one congregation ,to aiskether, or from one
I
presbytery to another, ocskesions a y consid-
era.blee interest °aside 4 the mrnediate
congregations interested, but `, this ease of
St. Andrew's seems to be an 'exCeption to
the general rule. We may here say also,
that we do not think that the relations of a
pastor towards his congregation, or the in-
ternal workings of a congregation are proper
subjects for pablie discussion, or that theyi il
should be ventilated through t e public
press. They are more of a Iami y than a
pnblie nature, and should be treated as
such by the press and the public. How-
ever, in this case, officers of the congrega-
tion and the press of the city of Toronto
were the aggressors, and the matter has al-
ready f eeeived such prominence before the
public that we do not violate any ru- le of
propriety in referring to it here.
St. Andrew's congregation, Toronto, is
a
one of the oldest Presbyterian congregations
in the province, and was the first estab-.
liahed in Toronto. It has, therefore, become.
historical, and this is, perhaps, one of the
reason § why the outside publi take so
great an interiat in its affairs. T e present
congregation have a very cap cioua and
handsome church, on the corner of King and
Simcoe streets, Toronto, with an equally
fine rhanse adjoining the church on Simcoe
-
street. a For many years the late Rev. b. J.
Macdonell was the pastor. His death, how-
ever, Caused a vacancy, and about eighteen
months ago the congregetion gave a call to
the Rev. W. J. McCaughan, of Belfast, Ire-
land. The call was accepted, and Mr. Mc-
Caughan entered upon the pastorate under
the most favorable auspices. He proved a
minister of great ability, power and earnest-
ness. The relations between pastor and
people &leo seemed to be most harmonious.
Preivious to the death of the late pastor,
on account of removals from the part of the
city in which the church is situated to other
residential districts, many members severed
their connection with St. Andriew's, and
united with other congregations ne'‘rer their
homes. With the advent of the neav pastor
and Sunday street cars, many of those who
had left in the way indicated, returned and
reunited with the congregation. In addition
-
to this; the eloquence and ability of Mr.
McCatighan eaptivated a greatmany of the
"rounders" which in a city like Toronto
form cjuite an, army. The church, there-
fore, became crowded to overflowing, and,
to the Outside eye, at least, everything aps
ream& !twat prosperoue and preinieing.
However, a bomb burst on its becoming
known that Mr. McCaughan had received a
most preesing t.tall fretti the Thit (1 Pre -Rh:, -
teria.n chin ch. Chicago. which ie one o
iv
largest, ettlrhieiit nod most pro Fing
gregations in the Windy City. The tension
which this announcement caused was con-
siderably increased by the actions of Mr.
McCaughan himself. Without previous
consultation with his session or managers,
a few Sundays ago, after the close of the
regular service, the pastor undertook to rate
the congregation for financial mismanage-
ment. He made statements which the man-
agers afterwerds denied. He complained of
i

having been deceive with regard to the
church debt, that it *as muoh larger than
he had been led to bet eve , before becoming
the pastor of the c ngregatior ; that the
congregation were goi g behind financially,
and %alien he went,to the bank to get it
thousa d dollar chequ for his salary cashed,
he found the oongrega ion only had three
hundred dollars t3 t eir oredit, and that
the cheque could no be cashed without
over drawing the acoo nt of the congrega-
tion, and this he refused to do. Among
other things, he said that the usual experi-
ence of a minister is to be idolized the first
year, criticized the second, and' crucified
the third. These statements were published
broadcast in the p pers the following day,
and created' quite sensation. Being a se-
vere reflection u • on the congregation as
well as upon the anagers, and being thus
published broad t to the world, the man-
agers felt in duty ound to place their side
of the case before the public also.- This
they did in a let or from the treasurer,
which -showed tha v instead of the congrega-
tion falling in erre rs financially, the debt
had been reduced y over ten thousand : oi-
lers sinceMr. Me aughan had been its to-
ter, and that the very day on which r.
McCaughan had ado his deliveranc , a
special collection of over three thous nd
dollars had been pi ced on the plates, ind
that, in addition t liberally supporting the
parent church, th congregation supperts
several mission ch robes in different parts
of the city. On t e whole, the managers
showed the congr gation to be in a Most
prosperous conditi n, financially and other-
wise, and that the were not only paying
their way, but were decreasing their debt
and contributing meat liberally to all the
schemes of the church. They further ex-
plained the matter of the over -draft of their
bank account by the fact that in the sum-
mer season, when many of the, large con-
tributors were a. sent on their summer lioi-
days, the Sundai contributions droPped off,
but were always m de up later on. This
statement placed the congregation in a
much different ligh before the public from
that which was made to appear by the
pastor on the Pre ious Sabbath, and wa,s
just what the public bad supposed was the
case, as St. Andrew's congregation is not
only a. large and wealthy congregation col-
lectively, but it las many! very wealthy
members, almost a y three df whom could
support the congregation out of their 'pri-
vate resources without feeling the expense
burdensome.
All this, however, as might- be expected,
made a wide breach between 1 the pastor and
!the congregation, so much so that the con-
gregation, while acknowledging the ability
and zeal of the paator,1 and the good work
he had been doingain their niidat, and their
regret at the propoSed severance of the tie
between them, decided by resolution not di
oppose his translation to Chicago when th
matter came before the Presbytery. At th
Presbytery meeting this resPlution was pr
deiced, and on the Ei rength of it and th
representations m de by the deputatio
from the Chicago c • • gregation, the Preaby
tete, sustained tit; Chicago call, and Mr
MOCaughan left th same evening, with th
Chicago delegates, Cr his new field of labo
In his acceptance o the Chicago call, how-
ev r, he acknowle ged the correctness o
th financial statement put forth by th
m nagers of St. •ndrew's, and expresse
his regret at havin been led t� misrepre
sent the situation i the remarks he mad'
to the congregatio• Irom the pulpit.
Thus ended a ve regretable and unedi
fying chapter in ch rch experience. Ther
is no doubt but Mr McCaughan acted haat
ily and in'udicious . He' is, evidently,
4
man of i pulsive c raoter, and on this oc
casion he allowed 1 impulses to run awa
with his judgment. But the difficulty W

leas France is disputing England's posses-

we ead in the despatches, there has been a
goo deal of loud talking on both sides, and
bot powers are making active preparations
for fear. It is, not likely, however, that the
difficulty will gd ,much beyond this stage.
France already nianifeste symptoms of yield-

! The Apple Crop.
,The apple cro in this part of Ontario
this year is bet er than the average. In
view l of this fact good many have been at
a lose to aeeoun tor prices being so well
maintained. 'T e following extract from
the last issue of t e Orange Judd Farmer, of
Chicago, will pro ably explain the circum-
stance. It says:
T e apple etop of the United States is
smal er than it has been since reliable statis-
tical ave been co lected. The total supply
from the 1898 cr p of the United States is

thing over 49, 00,0O0 last year and 70,000,-

The failure is idespread, reaching from
the Pacific costt3 Maine, and in none of
the States does t e output of fruit approach

locality seems, to be changing hands pretty
lively. MrSIsaec Jaerott is the next on the
slate, he having sold his 50 acre farm( in
Stanley to his father-in-law, Mr. Gilbert
McDonald, for the sun of $2,800. Mr. 4ar-
rott has since bought the farm of Mrs. J*Ien
Ross, of the London road. The price MIT.
Ross receives is $6,000. As this is amimg
one of the choicest farms in this logal ty,
all things considered, Mr. Jarrott has got
good value for his money. Mr. Alex. Mc -
Be th, of Stanley, has also been extending

borders, and 1 has bought the ferns of
MIs. MeDougall, of the 3rd concession of
Stuinley. E This fine property adjoins Mr.

M Beath ives is in the neighborhood: of
45,509. 1r. Robert Murray, of Tucker-

farlrn of 1 acres. This appeared to be no

NO CENSURE INTENDED. -In your issue
of the 21st inst. your correspoident is sea
cused of censuring Mr. B. II. Hamilton, the
present principal of our school, in an Item
appearing in your issue of the 7th inst.
On referring to your paper of this date I
find that Mr. Hamilton's name is not men-
tioned in any of the Gorrie items, and I
assure him that no reference to him was in-
tended. One of the items contains a kind
wish regarding the school and Mr. McKee,
but in no way refers to Mr. Hamilton. To
assume that it does is to ascribe all the e
honor to him for those who passed the ex-
aminations as well as all the blame for those
who failed. No one who knows the circum-
stances of the ease will do so . unjust and
absurd a thing. Mr. Hamilton taught the
classes only six months and some ef the
successful pupils in the leaving Class had
, been doing that grade of work tor fourteen
1 or fifteen months. Only one of the six sue-
] cessful ptspils took all the leaving work
from him'and this pupil had obtained 583
marks at the entrance examination in 1896.
Mr. Hamilton calls attention to the large
number of successful 'leaving pupils, but for
some reason best known to himself, does
not Say how many candidates wrote. The
result was six passed and three faded, which
is an average of 66,i per cent. On referring
to the school records I find the -lowest per
cent. for any year is 834 per cent, and the
average for all this years Rah per cent. Mr.
Hamilton ignores the entrance examination
entirely. Why? Is it not as important as
the public school leaving ? My opinion is
that it is the snore important of the two.
At this examination eight pupils wrote and
three passed, which is 37i per tent. The
school records show that only one entrance
candidate from here ever failed in a period
of twenty years. I leave your readers to
decide whether or not OUT school has " de-
generated of late" and hope they will keep
cool and not get startled. " la, my certain
knowledge some of tbe-entrance candidates ,
whom I advised not to write were urged by
your correspondent to write!' .This sentence
is a mere fabrication. I neither urged nor
advised any candidate to write ;it either of
the examinations oontrary to M. Hamilton's '
1 wishes. My reply to those who eonsulted
1. me in the matter invariably was, Mr. Ram -
1 ilton ought to know best. Mr. Hamilton
I says my son failed; This is true, and it is
! just as true that I never attached any blame
. to Mr. Hamilton for it. I employed Mr.
1 Hamilton, and when he got into difficulties
during his early career here I was the man
1
:
to whom he came for advice ad sympathy,
both of which were given to him kindly. I
have never said a word about him iii his
I absence that I would not repeat in his pres-
ence, and why he should have -written the
! abusive letter to which I now reply, is a
1 mystery to me. Re -assuring Mr. Hamilton
that no reference was made to him in the
! Gorrie notes published in your issue of the
I 7th inst. and thanking kou for space in your
1 valuable! paper, I remain,-Youu Cons-
;
