The Conservative Montreal Star says
of the Senate that "It has shrunk into
a sort of comfortable club for superan-

Papers that know better, allege that
the farmers of Ontario are prosperous,
in the face of facts strongly to the con-
trary. This is what the grand jury at
Simcoe, a few days ago said in connec-
tion with their court report :—
"We feel that the agricultural com-
munity should have legislation to 1,, !�

That the Americans are willing to
grant commercial union is shown by
the following resolution, introduced in-
to the House of Congress this week:—
"Resolved, that in the opinion of this
House closer commercial relations with
the other states on the American con-
tinent would be of material advantage,
and the House would view with favor
reciprocity ,treaties modifying the
duties upon the peculiar products of dif
ferent countries by tariff concessions on
both sides, conducive to increased com-
mercial intercourse and mutual profit,
widening the markets for the products
!of all, and strengthening the friendly
relations of this country with its neigh-
bors.
The latest matter that is causing con-
siderable talk at Ottawa is the mileage
of Mayor -General Laurie, M. P. The
law allows every member an indemnity
of a thousand dollars, minus a certain
amount per day for absences, and, in
addition, travelling expenses at the rate
.'' of ten cents per mile each way. The
clause reads thus : "There shall also
be allowed to each member of the
House of Commons ten cents for each
mile of the distance between the place
of residence of such member and the
place at which the session is held, reck-
oningsuch distancegoing and doming,
according to the nearest mail route.
Mayor Laurie claims to have been living
in London, England, last year, though
"'.Oakfield, N.S. is his home, and has
drawn 8600 as his mileage for London.
The law may, perhaps, be interpreted
this way, but it opena the door to an
abuse that should not be tolerated.

Speaking of tho volunteers corn mem.

Debating The Xew Tariff.
no Liboraia have always contended
that the imposition of dtltiea for proteo•
tine purposes, was wrong, as it meant
heavier burdens of taxes upon the con.
sumer. When the new °tariff was in-
troduced the Liberals opposed it strong-
ly, showing that the burdens of the
people were fully as heavy as they were
now able to bear. The tariff has been
under disoussiop for some time, and
the Liberal members have certainly
done their best to show that in the in-
terests of the people, an inoremse of
taxes is unjust. At every point where
the new tariff could be attacked it has

attended witG happy results. Chinook
seems to have been invented by the
British and Amercian traders who
frequented the port of Nootka during
the closing years of the last century.
Nootka was then the chief emporium
of the North Pacific. Later on the
traders of ASTon'S expeditions added to
and improved the language thus esta-
nlished. It was a mixture of English
words and words belonging to the
various Indian dialects. The Cana-
dian voyageurs in the service of the
fur and trading companies added
French to the stock, which, at the time
of Mr Hale's visite comprised only
about 250 words. Of these eighteen
were of Nootka origin, 41 were English,
34 French, 111 Chinook, and the re
mainder of doubtful origin. Since then
the number of words has been greatly
increased. The origin of some of them
is rather whimsical. Thus Boston
means an American, Kinchotsh (King
George) a Britisher, and Pasaiuks
Frenchmen. Pasaiuks is an Indian
corruption of Francais, the natives be-
ing unable to pronounce the letters f, r,
and the nasal n. The termination uks
is the Chinook plural. Mr Hale says
the children of the Canadians and
half-breeds whb have married native
woman speak this jargon and nothing
else; in fact it is their mother tongue.
It is the prevailing medium of inter-
course between whites and natives in
British Columbia and Alaska, and is
spoken at all the Indian reservations.
If it be asked how a language compos-
ed of so few words can be extensively
used, the answer is that many of the
words have a very wide meaning, and
may receive different though allied
significations, according to the context.
The faculty of combining and com-
pounding its words, which the jargon
derives from its connection with the
Indian tongues, enlarges the capacity
for expression almost indefinitely. The
jargon is of great use to the missionar
les as well as to the traders, hunters
and fishermen. Mr hale publishes the
Chinook version of the Lord's Prayer,
together with a sermon in Chinook de-
livered by 1L•v. Myron Eolls, amission-
ary on the Skolu>mish reservation. Mr
Ells has published a book of hymns
in the jargon.

It will be seen at a glance that the
sale of these articles to the United States
is over 35 times greater than to Great
Britain, our next best market, yet we
have politicians who assert that it is the
duty of Canadians to ignore every op-
portunity to make better trade relations
with the United States, and to look for
new markets elsewhere.
The following is from the Mitchell
Advocate, the publishers of which are
both members of the church alluded to.
Up this way there are some people who
erroneously think that church difficul-
tied (particularly if they are in the
Methodist church) should not be allud-
ed to in print. However unpleasant
they are, they are matters of news in
which the public are interested, and
we publish this just to let some people
see that the Advocate has no scruples
about making public these matters. The
Advocate says:—
"The divisions caused in the Church
of England throughout different parts
of Canada by unseemly and unauthor-
ized innovations is much to be deplored.
In Orillia there is much trouble, and to
make matters worse, the difficulty is
being fought out in the Toronto Globe
by members of the congregation. At,
St. James' vestry meeting, Toronto, a
disgraceful wrangle was entered into,
one member charging that church funds
were used for the surplice choir. At
St. George's, Ottawa, the greatest con-
fusion prevailed, but the troubles were
finally smoothed over. In the churches
of Ascension and St. Thomas, Ifamil•
tan, there were also ugly storms, but,
adds the Spectator, "they were not as
bad as expected." Such a state of af-
fairs is much to be deplored, and it is a
pity that clergymen will insist on
changes that are contrary to Scripture,
as well as being unauthorized by the
iteubricks of the church. The ars, in
most cases, only done for show, and
should in erery instance be abandoned."

derstood that arrangements have been
made on the Canada Southern Railway
(which will be a link in the line over
which the train is to run) to put down
water troughs between the tracks, so
that engines can take water while mov-
ing and save the stops which would

This practice of taking water while the

hour over the greater part of the way.
