We notice the following passage in an editorial in a recent issue of the Toronto Farm -ere' Sun, whioh, by the way, is one of the most ably conducted papers in Canada. It says : " Generous England offers us free mar- kets, Why should we not do as much for her, if our loyalty is really generous." While ale is true in fact. it is calculated to convey a false impression. Ib is quite true that England offers us free markets, but it is not true that we are under any obligation to her for that offer. If she gave to US something that she does not give co Nome person efse, then we would be under an obligation to her, and we would be un- grateful if we clid not in some tangible way acknowledge her generoeity. But England offers a free market, not alone to Canada, but to every other ,country and nation in the world. We receive no special advant- age in the markets of England that ie not equally open ta every other corentry. As a consequence, we are not under any special obligation to her in that regent. Oa the contrary, we give to England a special ad- varitage in our markets which we do not accord to -any other country. W itever obligation there may be, therefore, it is on the part of England and not on the part of Canada, We did not give her this advant- age because we thought it was her due, but onr own interests, In the first place, it enables our consuming population to pur- chase certain articles more cheaply than they would be able to were this advant- age not given. In other words, it relieves eta of a certain amount of taxation to which we were formerly subjected. In the second place, it has secured for this country and . her products a, certain amount of notice from the. oId country people which they Would net okherwise have obtained. It:was givent Upon the principle of casting our bread, upon the waters, Having secured thie attention, and if 'eve team furnish them witioas good prodactsi" as they oan get elsewhere for the same money, then upon the principle that one good turn deserves anather, we hope to benefit in that way by our preferential tariff. But, the prefer- entiel tariff was not given beertuae it was eupposed we owed that recegnition to Great Britain, bemuse it could not be juati- fied eny such grounds. New, having set the example to our old mother, if she should reciprocate, her action would be greatly appreciated by Canadians, as it would be immeneely advantageous to them. But, whether or not she will do so remains to be seen. She has given no signs iu that direction so far. Should she do so, she could not take any step which would so quickly -and so firmly cement the existing bond between the mother and the daugh- ter. Should she fail to do tio, the impel ial feeling which is now so strong, will not long withstand the strain of self-interest, which is the leading spring wieh nations as with individuals. Premier Roes, in kis recent speeches in the old country, indica t- - ed eery clearly the manner ia which this could be done. He advises that England ehoutd impose a email import tax on all produets imported from foreign couatries, this tax to form a fund to be used in the defence of the nation. If this were done it would reetult in advantage to bath Great Britain and, her colonies. It would lighten the harden of Great BriGain in maintaining her defensive farces, and to that extent would compel the nritions from whom she hae most to fear erouble to aid her in her defence, while it would at the same time give the products of the colonies a slight dvantage in the British markets, and wauld tend to very largely increase the trade and commerce between Britain and her colonies. It would nit only increase the trade, but it would immensely strength- en the sentimental tie between them. By tieing thie, therefore, Britain would be benefitting herself and us at the same time. It ie frequently said that the colonies, and especially Canticle., are protected from invasion by Britain. That her navy and army are ineiutei led largely for our pro- tectien, and that our querrels are her pier - reds, and that for this protection we are under Ku oh a debt to Britain that we should assume some proportion of the cost of the malutenance of these foeces. It is further Reid that Britain has shown a apirit of great generoeity to us, in that while she has main- tained her army and navy all theee years largely for our protectim, that she has not asked us for anything towards their main- tenance. All tide ie partially true, but there is another side to this as to every other qusetion. Our main (imager from embroilment with other nations arisee from our conneetion with. Great Britain. We have no quarrels of our own and are not likely to have any. Whatever danger we may be submitted to on this acceunt is due entirely to our canneceion with ehe mother country. They are her quarrels and not ours, and hence the obligatione which we owe to her an this account are more irriagin- ary than real. On these grounds, therefore, we should not be expected to.. give her everything and receive nothing mare tan- gible than good will, nor will it be wise for us to permit sentiment to obscure our judgment, as some now -a -days seem dis- posed ,to do: Sentiment is all right enough in its:Way, but sentiment will not keep the mill giinding, nor will it furnish food for the hungry, Of late years Caned% has made many and severe sacrifices for the mother land, She has mede these sacrifices cheerfully as a sense of duty. She has sacrificed of her blood and her treesure to uphold and defend the honor of Great Britain hi South Africa, When Canada was doing this, the other nations, Buell as Germany, Russia and France, not only stood aloof but if anything, gave their sympathies to the enemies! of Great Britain. And yet these countries are treated by Great Britain just as never - ably as Canada is. There is the open mar- ket for them there as well as for us. - This, surely, is not as it should be, If we are to give we must surely receive in return. If we are willing to spend and be spent for Great Britain, and we are, we have a right to receive some advantages which are not accorded to her covered, if not her open enemies. We have a greater right to ex- pect this when it can be done without in- jury to either party. And now is the time to make the experiment. Both parties seem to be in right shape to appreci ite favors accorded by the other. This state will not continue long if it is not encouraged. Even the strongest sentiment muet have some- thing tangible to feed upon if it is to be kept elive. An empty title be towed upon a Caneclian politician now an again will not do this, We want sonnethi n that will be of material benefit to tho whole people and eepecially tothe tOilers, those who make the wealth of the country, This is tho end ,to which our statesmen stiould work. Mr. John McMillan Dead. We mentioned Jest week the illness of Mr, John McMillan, ex M. P. for South Huron, but we little thought then that the end was so near. He died ats his reeidence, in Hulletn`on Thursday morning. The an- nouncement of his death will be read a i A feelings of regret and sorrow, liot only iu this county, but throughout the Province. Mr. McMillan, although otherwise physic, ally robust, has been troubled for years wich an affection of the stomach, but with careful dieting he has always hitherto been able to keep the disease in check. Abont two weeke ago however, he took an unusually severe auk, which, it seems, the best medical skill and the most careful nursing could not overcome. Mr. McMillen • was born in the parish of Kirkccrinel, Dumfries - shirt), Scotland, in 1824, and was, therefore, 77 years of age. He came to Canada in 1843, and settled in the township of Hullett, where he has resided ever since. He - has been a prefabs nt figure in municipal and ic local politics a d puiblic affairs for over half a century. It ay be said that he has grhwn up with the county. He assessed the tiOwnship of Morrie when it contained only nine settlerseand 'was assessor of the township of Hullett for nine years, and also reeve of Hullett for about 15 years. He was first elected to the Parliament of Cariada in 1882, representing what wes then Centre Huron for one sesejon, when he retired to make way fon Sir Richard Cartwright. 'After a redistribution of the constituencies he was again elected for South Huroniin 1887,, and ccntinued to representthat conetituency with great ability until the general election of 1900. Ini3 thorough knowledge of agri- cultural subjects, coupled with his seund judgment and superior ability as a debater, soon brought him to the front, and he was yet:men:zed by men of both parties as the leading agricultural member in. the House, and for several years occupied the import- ant pusition of chairman of the agricultural committee, one of the largest and most im- portant committeee of. Parliament. He wad in every sense a self-made man, while his high sews) of honor, his great energy and his superior natural abilities made him a leader among men. He was tin indefati- gible worker, both with head and hands, and while improving his pecuniary poeition he stored his mind with useful information, both respecting hie calling and the public affairs of the gauntry. Such a man could not help succeeding. From a small begin- ning he became one of the moat extensive farmers and stock raisers in the county, and although so active and prominent in public affairs he was alwalkable to give the closest attent ion to his private businese. In short, . he was a strong man, both physically and intellectually, and used hie abilities to the beat advantage for himselfland the publio, As a powerful end convincing platform speak- er, he had few superiors and his services in this respect were always in actine demand and were always cheerfully given. There are few counties or eoestituencies in the province in which hie, voice has not been heard either in connection with political elections or at Farmer's Inntieutes, in which latter capacity his services were eagerly sought, and he was frequently inducted to undertake work of ' this nature when he would have preferred remaining at home. But, his work here is now done. He has acted well his part in life, and he leaves be- hind him a name 'and a reputation, which will not only be an inspiration to younger men, but will be long remembered by his contemporaries. He was a 'man of genial disposieion and good social qualities ; of great natural abilityestrang convictions, a high seuse of rectitedeoand leaves behind an unstained record aryl a name honored wherever it is kriowir. I Such a. life hag not been in vain. Mr'. McMillan was twice married, and his widow, two sone, and one daughter survive bine. The funeral will take place from his late residence to the glace of interment in Constance cemetery on aturday, at 2 o'clock. - a Editorial Notes and Comments lingliSh papers are responsible for the statement that:the health of King Edward is anything but satisfactory. It is said he is suffering from an affection of the throat which has developed into a cancerous growth. He has undergone several opera- tionsjwhich have in some measure stayed thee progress of the disease. If these reports are correct, and they have not been contradicted, the reign of the present Xing will be brief and the Duke, who se recently visited Cana- da and left behind him So favorable an im- pression, may be the occupant of the Brieish Throne sooner than most' people expected. One might as well try to mix oil and water ai to assimilate 'English and Colonial soldiers. There is too Mitch independence in the Colonial to become a mere machine, whereas submission to superiors is bred in the English soldier. An illustration of this was given not very long ago in South Africa. A British General, while on parade', referred to his men as " white livered curs." Three Australians who were in the ranks resented thia accusation and asserted their manhood by telling their commanding ' officer just what they thought of him for using such insulting language to his men. The Aus- tralians were reported for insubordination, court martialed and sentenced to death. The death sentence was afterwards colli- mated by General Kitchener to twelve years penal servitude. The war office has einoe ordered the instant release of these men and they are once more free. The war office has done wisely. Most Colonials willl say that the men deserved credit rather that sensor°, muoh lens punishment, for resenting so base an in ult tied that if any one- should be punt Med it is the "Ielawsted" officer who bad the indeeeney to apply such epithets to his men, in Had the offenders been British sold- iers irt is possible the sentence of the court marbial rmght have beennearried out. It is no doubt necessary to -Maintain proper dis- cipline in the army, but if thcea in command expents thin they ahould re:street themselves suffiniently to treat those under them in a proper manner. ft the officer in this instaboe had Iheensensureder degraded in the service for hie vulgarity it would, perhaps, have had *salutary influence. . Th wagin the Philippines seems to drag rtiong as slowly as the war in South Africa: 13 Hostlitiee have broken out anew in the Phili pines and a large foree of fresh troops have een sent from the United States ' to reinf roe those now there. The American authorities in the Philippinea have issued ordere to the effeot that all the Philippines Must concentrate in the towns and villages and ' any found outtide of the designated places will be treated as insurgents and will be ehot down without ceremony. These extreme measures have been considered necessary so as to oheoke hostilities on the . - part of the natives. . It is pleating to learn, on very good atithority, that the farmers of Manitoba and the Northwest Aro not likely to lose se much by the wet sp_ell after harvest as was at one time feared. There have now been three weeks of exceptionally fine weather and the wheat in stooke has dried lout nicely and in moat instances is turning out very satis- factorily. Threehers ate working night and day, and every effort is lit ing made to have the crop cleared off the fields before winter sets in. II) is said, however, that threshers still have five or eix weeks work ahead of them. We not ice a record of one machine that threshed 2,240 bushels of wheat in one day, but the length of the day is not given. 1 ... Thereiis not-miich change to note in the situation in South -Africa, Skirmishes of more or lcse severity take place weekly and the Boers are always vanquished and driven off with considerable lose. The British forces gent continue to capture prisoners, ammunition and eupplies, but the Boers show no signs of quieting the strife. Getter - al Botha had a narrow escape from capture a few days ago. , Major Remington marched on the commanderenchief's quarters at night, only to find thee Botha had got off with a few hundred yards start, leaving hia hat, revolver and papers behind. Ten prisonere, including Commandant Hada Botha and former Landdrost Sohutte, were naptured. Leon F. Czolgoiz, the murderer of Presh dent Al (4n -inlay, paid the penalty for his crime at:Auburn, New York, at 7:15 Tues• day Morning. He was electrocuted and it was just four minutes from the timo the condemned mau left his cell until he was pronounced dead by his medical attendants. • He went to his doom without flinching and sullenly maintained the same reticence he manifested from the first. He poeitively refused, even at the last, to receive the re- ligious rights of his church saying, " Don't have any praying over me, living or dead ; don't want it. I don't want any of their religion." When his relatives called to see him he appeared perfectly indifferent to- wards them and only answered them when spoken to. He persisted until the last in saying that he alone WWI responsible for the crime and that no person else had anything to do with it. Hie last words were : " I killed the president because he was an enemy of good people, of good working people. I am pet sorry for my crime."

LOCAL BRIEFS. —On Friday of last week, Mr. Ambrose.Smith, the popular and effi- cient accountant of the Molsone Bank here, was taken seriously ill, and by the following day, his condition was so alarming and his suffering so intense, that in the afternoon his father, Rev.

Miss Smith arrived on the evening express, and his father, who had to drive all the way from Forest, a distance of about 40 miles, arriv- ing later in the nnght.

'Mr. Smith had not been in good health for some time pre- vious to his present illness, aud the operation for appendicitis was one of the most et itical the doctor had ever been called upon to per- form, but proved very successful, and at the time of writing Mr. Smith's condition is even better than could have been hoped for.

And, by the way, that fail shlow was nothing to be ashamed of either. The header that planned it might have graced a wider sphere of usefulness in the show besiness, but they devoted all their ener- gas to the task befere them, and their h rd work brought its ovin reward. The d y of special attractions was yet in its in- . far,or ginadity and long headedness, which but the show nommittee, with that ch racterized all the r actioue, had this fe ture of the fair specielly marked ien their pr gramme, and the financial returns sh wed the wisdom of!having a ealithurnp- iai exhibition and a baby show as a relief fr m the monotony of prize cabbages and cr zy quilts.

But this pleasant retrospect has led us from the subjeot in hand. Wm. Jewitt's weekly shipment of hogs from our st4ion gives Bluevale gnite a business like air. During the early morning the tall pigracks, with their squealing inmates, go lumbering past. From' the shipping yard come the stern commands of the shippers mingled- with the shrill protests of the porkers, while the fuli wagons come and the empty wagona go. , When at last the car is filled, when the train with its living burden has disappeared down the shining track, the profits and loos are counted up, the farmer slowly wends hie way homeward with_a pleased and happy smile upon his sun -browned countenance and the peace and quietness which had been tio rudely dist rbed again Betties for another week.— Rev Dr. Moffatt, general agent for the Upper Canada Bible and Tract Society, delivered his annual address in the Presbys terian church here _Wednesday night.

In the eager desire, shown by almost everyone, to see at the expense of others, might be drawn a fitting comparison with the actione of their hurnbler brethren. Many were so overcome in the rush that they had to be carried' away, ard one lady had her dress so badly torn that she had to fight her way out and go home. The next morning the floors were covered with beada, jet., etc., which had been torn off in the conflict.

Blyth. NOTES —A most disgraceful affair oocur- red last Friday morning, about 1 o'clock, at the north end of our village. Such swearing is not often heard outside the slums of cities. The men who were at it should feel ashamed of themselves when they sobered up, in fact the right place for them to have been put was in the lock-up, but although it occurred not far from the conatablea_house, he either didn't want to ge p or didn't wake, although quite a few of neighbore heard it—Mr. T. Watson, wh has been leader of the Presbyterian choir ofthe past years, has placed his resigns ion in the hands of the committee, on a unlit of hie voice weakening.

Campbell leader, as he has been first tenor under Mr. Watson and has a first-class voice, in fact is suitable in every way for the position.—A number of Dr. Cook's friends tenured him a banquet en Monday evening, in Scott's hail.
