Dr. Talmage I ai issued an appeal to
all the world for aid to rebuild his ta-
bernacle. He and his congregation
should be ashamed to do etch a thing.
"Senate Reform" is not what the
peeple want, hut Senate Abolition.
Any change on the Senate would be
for the better, but. anything short of
entire abolition is not worth making an
" effoie, for.
• The Dominion Voters' List e are now
being put up throughout OA country.
RefOrMers. in livery polling division

Mr Dalton McCarthy may be sincere
in his anti- French end Cathol ic crusade,

Much as wo are in favor of better
trade facilties with the United States,
we would rather that Mr, 1Vintan had
not undertaken to discuss it last Sunday
while entertaining the Pan-American-
. Congress delegates to a dinner at Nia-

that an indiscretouthat ,be should not
have been guilty of.
We do pot suppose Sir John is losing

Other points of minor intereet were
then brought up, atter which Mrs.
B. Kirkman read a number ot valu-
able extracts froni a book entitled
"Teachers and Teaching."
Mr. Clarkson uext read a pale on
the "Wants and woes of Teaehees,''
which was well received. The tins e
great woes he referred to were isoia-
tion, poverty, and the yearly engage-
ment; for each of which he suggested
remedies that would reduce the
wants of teachers to a minimum. A
motion to haat) the paper published
in full in the looal papers was carried
by a large majority.
the "heathen" Chinee must alone be
debarred from entering a professedly
christain country by a restrictive duty
that is as heathenish as his form of
religion. On that great principle of
the common brotherhood of man, the
course that Canada (and the States
also) has been pursuing towards. China
has been sinful, and the wonder/is that
that country -has stood. it so long. The
people thereof are really to be com-
mended for their inoderatkin. '
We Are All Of One Kin.
To the statement of the Empire that
those persons residing in the United
States should be regarded as foreigners
a correspondent makesthis crushing
reply :
. Right Hon. Jdseph Chamberlain
stated here that he refused to look upon
the L'nited States as a foreign nation,
and recently some noble members of
the House of Lords, speaking in that
august assemblageesaid the same thing.
-Sir John McDonald, in welcoming
'the American Engineers to Ottawa last
week, is exported by •The Empire as
saying that "He hoped and believed
that the intercourse between the people
of Canada and the members of the
Institute, as representing a very impor-
tant body from the United •States,
would tend etill further to unite the
two people together in feeling and as
they now were in blood and language."
There is nothing in Sir John's speeels
about foreigners, nothing about the
necessity of keeping tho dreaded Ameri-
caus. away from us lest our infant in.
dustries should suffer by the contract,
so, according to The Empire, Sir John
must be dreadfully disloyal.
Sir John is right, and thus does he
rebuke his indiscreet followers.
It is absurd to speak of our kinsmen
living across an imaginary line as for-
eigners.

laid over till the next Meeting. The
appointment of auditors Was next
made, and resulted in F. 5letca1f

that a change should be made in the

during the forenoon of the second
day of the annual— meeting. ‘Mr.
Alton Anderson then read an inter-
esting and instructive paper on
Friday's session began at a.m.
After the reading and adoption of
the minutes of Thursday's meeting,.
Mr. Blackwell read a very suggestive
and practical essay on tbe teaching
of Composition. Thoughts, he said,
must precede words. The first thing
to do is to get the pupils to think,
'after which they will have little diffi-
culty in getting words to express the
ideas. Show pictores and get the
class to talk abouthem. The pic-
tures in the reading lessons can thus
be used with great advantage, the
teacher making each lesson in Part
L and Part II. of the First Reader
the basis of an oral language lesson.
He then suggested many valuable
kinds -of exerctses for third and fourth
classes and highly recommended
some that he had tried in his OM
school.
" Mr. J. II. Cornyn next topic up the
subject of Writing, with a class of
seven or -eight pupils from the Brits,
sels public school. He first put some
writing on the blackboard and then
judieiously questioned the class and
asked them to criticize errors which
he put on the board similar to those
some of them made on their slates in
copying his writing. Ile also read
an essay on the su.ccessfnl teaching
of writing in saboots. He teaches
printing at the same time as writing,
condemns tracing, allows pupils to
write with pencil at first, teaches all
the principles from 'the very begins
ning. and requires pupils touse the
muscular movement. Considerable
discussion followed and then 'Mr.
Clarkson read the following resolu-
tions
(1) Resolved, that the Public School

a book written in simpler language
should be substituted as soon as
