The Huron News-Record, 1891-04-08, Page 4• . T ke Huron Mows -Rom' 1.44 a Teikr-- 1, 5 in asinine Wednesday. April $$b 1591, INNDR CIRCIEIS.t/ AND IND YID UALISM. "Pat Groat," himself a Catholic and one of the cleverest and beat informed writers on the Arnerioan press, writes a Chicago paper de- fining the difference between lay Catholicism and clerical Catholic- ism. The NEws RaooRo has often pointed out the differenoe, but is glad to have it defined iSy such an impartial authority as "Pat Grant.', We bave reaouted, and will continue to protest against, the interference of any religioua sect, as a body, in matters purely political. Those who introduce religious differenoea into politics are frauds, if not woree, whether each firebrands he Metho- dist, Romanist, Presfiyterian, I3ap- tiat or Anglican. An individual should support Sir John A Mac- donald or Mr. Laurier for the good he can see in the legislation they propose, not at the dictum of bishops, Moderators or general superintendents. "Pat Grant writes : "We must fairly and moderately draw the necess.u'y and never to be forgotten distinctiou between Catholies and clericals, or the inner circles of the church, which in every country seeks to play oft' Catholics against the State iu its political interests, and tries to keep them more and more oxclurive, and always in hot water with their Protestant fellow - countrymen, 80 that men would not politically assimilate with 'each other, but be driven apart and into camps and factions. It is upon this pi1uciple that the clerical ole- . went always trade. '!'hose who rail at the Catholic Church for the roost know nothing whatever about it and their attacks for that very reason rather amus(' than hurt those against whom they are directed. The Catholic Church consists of several inner and one outer circle. The inner circles which constitute the various phases of cleilcalism are virtually op'osed to the interests, the nationality, and the whole tendency and principles of the outer circle which comprises the vast body of the Catholic people. These inner circles, composed of cardinals, bishops acolytes, otc., are ever seeking to draw the people close together toward a common center. They want them to support Catholic interests so for as possible at the polls, to road Catholic papers, to exclude from their society' and friendship all but Catholics. This force as ceutraliziug as it is constant is opposed by the national pride and patriotism of Catholics in all parts of the world and acts exactly like the centripetal force of this earth which draws all the cuter parts of the globe toward a common center. Gambotta in oue of his opening speeches in the early days of the French Republic 'nide the distino• tion between Catholics and clerical- ism plain when he said : 'I respect the Catholic church iu whose bosom I was born and in whose traditions I was reared but I des- pise crafty and cunning clericalism. The enemies of progress and civili- zation to day in France are not Catholics but clericals A bas les elericaux.' Now I beg those who allow their feelings to run riot with their judgment and who are sometimes tempted to say hard things of Catholics to remember Gambotta's distinction. There aro a no greater lovers of freedom than ie was. They are not more able or less sincere iu their opposition, and fur God's sake let there be ee judicious and therefore as effective as Gawbetta." All sects have equal religious rights which other's are morally bound to respect. Ambers of all Roots have equal civil rights which others ore bound by the laws of the land to respect. All Protestants worthy the narue think well of Roman Catholics, but they cannot think well of the politi- cal Notch potch which clerics mix tip with their religious creed. In Huron we have had a taste of how the clerical michine has been work ed in favor of one of the political parties on account of supposed material advantages which the "inner circles," as Pat Grant calla ^t -A---'"'"--;;' tilift ; f-rlit"'tiliti-Lrls ata ,aerit►e from tho .aanditiato• of 1110 pArty. But Protestants are not exempt a't'om tl.ie miserable religioua fana- ticism. With this difference, hon. over, that among Protestants it is some scalawag lay hanger on to the skirts of a church that endeavors to forward bia personal oxide, to the party estrangement of other Ptotes- tante, by trying to arouse the prejudices of hie fellow sectarians, and use these as a lever to obtain a petition for which he is not con- sidered fit. Eveu his fellow church- men may oily tolerate hie presence among them, they well knowing he is only a hypocrite and an unreli- able man, but by hia constant and insidious appeals that they "must stick by their church" they are sometimes inveighled to stick by a "brother" whom they in their heart of hearts know ie a liviug lie, so far as being a member of their church iu the real settee of the term. Which then is the groats+et sinner? The "inuor circles" of the Catholic church which use the laity to forward the ends of the church, or a Protestant denomination which even thoughtlessly allows unre- generate, nominal members to use the church fur their undeserved advancement 1 It would seem that Catholic clericals are not the great- est sinners. The Catholic hierarchy plays off its people against a political party to benefit the church in its mission of Christian enlightenment accord- ing to its creed. A Protestant de- nomination allows itself to bo play- ed obi' against a political party or its candidate. What for l To gratify, too often, the selfish schemes of an individual whom they believe to be unworthy a seat in their inner circle. As by Catholic clericalism) so by Protestant individualism has the Conservative party suffered in Huron. There is too much of the narrow- ness and intolerance of the old Samaritan kind among those who call themselves Christians. The best and wisest will, or should, discriminate that, whether Catholic or Protestant, they can honestly support the Conservative„party, or any other party, which they believe advocates a policy that will tend to the material advancement and progress of the whole people. Whether all Christians will do it or not, all Protestant Christiane should frown down those among them who would bar the wheels of progress because the chariot of Stats is not run by a Methodist, or a Presbyterian, or an Anglican. or a Baptist, EDITORIAL NOTES. It is expected that the Dominion Government will take no action in the Manitoba School Act, which will become law. by the effluxion of time. It is quite likely a case will bo Made out and appeal made to the Supreme Court of Canada and ultimately to the Privy Council of England. The P.Irnellitea consist principally of a leader without a party. The anti-Parnellites are a party without a leader. That seems to he the dif- ference between the Grits and Re- formers in Canada. The Grits have a leader, in the person of Sir Rich- ard Cartwright, without a party. And the Reformers are a party with- out a leader. Laurier don't seem to count. Russia and France have formed au alliluoe in regard to the mobili- z ttio t of troops and other move - moots iu the event of war, and Lord Salisbury is credited with pro• raising Belgium to defend Antwerp, leaving the Belgium array for de fensive operations in the forts of the Meuse. Though there is a faint smell of powder emanating from Europe, it is probably caused ny the burning of the refuse of the var- ious magazines The Chicago Newg 'a in quite a state of mind over the effeteness of British institutions. It bewails : "It is the fortune of cabinets under the British parliamentary systurn to be amenable at any time to public opinion.” This is a proper estimate of British institutions, those of Canada included. But it is not a misfortune. The people rule in Canada,through their representatives in parliament. If the Ministry do \vest tawir.zeitiortitait'tonne— if it trete-onl,l the, fieri elee°iOP ,aftex' a14 election. Its the ITtlited Stattea the Cabinet Miniaters cau play high jiuks and Congress cannot oast there until the next presidential election. As American Miniatere are not amenable to public opinion, the public take the law into their own hands, hence the lynchings, and gaol murders, and whitecaps and other embodimeute of public opiuion in the form of mob law. Those posted in the cattle busi- neesa say there is a dearth of cattle, That they are not increasing with the demand in Groat Britain. It these are facts our farmers should know. At the prices that have prevailed lately it ie said that the raising of cattle is the most profit - part of far m business. The beat farmer's are becoming alive to this. As au incidence of this we may mention that Mr. W. J. Biggius of Elmhurst farm, Clinton, who is noted for the excellence of the thoroughbreds he raises, has had more demands fur sires this spriug than for many years back. The reason probably being that those who desire them wish to breed them with grades or eold bloods anti pro- duce the best possible beef animals. '!'here has always been and isuo.v a good demand for such. It costs no more per year to raise good grades than paltry mongrels, and at 2 years the former aro %tenth more than the latter at 3 years, Of course the farm is so much beuofitted by the offal from cattle that this should not be lost sight of. '!'hen as to calves: Our farmers should not sell their calves. They are surd to be money out of pocket by so cluing. John McMillan is right when he says sell your coarse graiu etc in the hide and hoof. Farmers dou't kill or sell your calves. liaise them and sell them at 2 or three years old. There seems to ho almost an epi- demic of murder in the rural parts of Ontario. A couple of weeks ago or more a fanner named Rowe was killed on•the highway near Strath- roy. Murray accused Rowe of cir- culating defamatory reports about Mra. Murray. Meeting Rowe, who was standing beside a waggon talk- ing to the occupant, Murray at- tempted to drive over him with' his waggon. Rowe got a small rail and attacked Murray who took a club and knocked Rowe down. He died from the effects of the blow. Mur- ray was tried.at the assizes in Lon- don last Saturday. The jury brought in a verdict of manslaugh- ter with a recommendation to mercy, which was a Merciful verdict under the circumstances. Then on Sun- day last on John Geary's farrn,Lon- don township, where 125 cows are kept, one of the. employees named Hubbard attacked foreman Hodges. The latter struck and knocked Iiub- bard out of tho milk house and down the stops. Hubbard was dead vrhen picked up. The doctor found that Hubbard had been stabbed about an inch below the heart. This caused his death. Hodges denies he used a knife. These are only a few of the warnings that come from our usually peaceful Province that people should not allow their angry passions to arise and bring about the death of a fellow man and possibly their own. Lord Salisbury takes a very mod- erate and quite sensible view of the poeitiou Newfoundland has taken in regard to the fishery dispute with France. Ho says that England is bound by treaty to accord certain privileges to the French on the shores of Newfoundland. The col- onists say they will not allow those privileges or submit to arbitration anent them. The Rritiah Govern - inent repudiate any desire to coerce the people of Newfoundland. The British 'government is bound by treaties, and when the other party held views so strongly an France did there was no alternative. It was arbitration or war. If the New- foundlanders thought the terms of arbitration were injurious to their interests the Government was pre. pared to hear their views in the matter, but it must be remembered that the conditions of the arbitration were imparted to the colony before they were agreed to by the Imperial Government, which, being responsi- bin for the peace of the Empire, must be responsible for the condi- tions under which it endeavored to procure the settlement of an extreme- 1y'di'ffiunt`t au'bj-ect.'' Ftfttlrttr tt i ftfi ° .4..d. if the Freuuh insisted on what .tltey claimed wore their privileges they cquld enforce their claim° as against the colony unless the Imperial Government interfered. Newfound. land cannot stand alone, it must act in concert with the Imperial au- thorities which alone has the power to enforce any decision that may b arrived at. An exchange says, "There is a probability of the CrownLands port- folio being divided up, Mr. Hardy continuing to control the minerals of the Province, and Mr. Awrey taking t' e timber ori hie fiends". If all the wooden heads in the various departments were gathered under Mr. Awrey, there would be a veritable 8h.t,.iug up of timber, and the financial and educational interests of the province would stand to he more largely administer- ed in the iutereete of the people of the Province. IN MEMORIAM. MALcoM I\1°TAGOART. "Thera is bet one immortal and bio name is Death." Mr. Malcom McTaggart, the wise and upright business man, the kiud-heerted philanthropist, is no more. He died on Suuday, March 5111 at 4.45 a, 111., at his own residence. He always had boon au usually healthy Luau uutil a few .veoks ago whau he was afflicted with a peculiar intern- al truuble which accomplished its deadly work quietly, quickly and with little pain. For a weak pre- vious hia condition war so precar- ious that death was expected almost hourly. His family and friends though prepared fur and auticipat- ing his demise, still to the last he remained conscious. At times it seemed as though he had passed away, but a faint respiration would shortly bo distinguished, until Sun- day morn, the final spark of life went out. His age was seventy-one, '1'o not many is it given to reach the allotted --three score and ton, null. our lamented friend by a strict ob- servance of the rules of health hard- ly showed hie age. His acquaintance was wide spread, being one of the earliest inhabitants and mauufactur- ers of the town, and reached high social popularity and honors, always taking in all matters an observing and practical view. None could know hitn and not recognize iu him a keen relish for social pleasures and -a sincere sympathy for the un- fortunate who was debarred from them. He would, when solicited, advise in the most kiudly, reliable and practical way. In church busi- ness matters leo took an Active part, beiug connected with Willis church since its commencement, and on many times by his thoroughness and wise diacriurivation brought order and harmony out of seeming autau- glement and confusion. Always ready to give financial aid generous ly. In this connection we know it would it would be distasteful to hint, were he living, to enlarge, but no one will underrate the weighty financial part Mr.McTaggart played, and the loss now sustained by the church. In the full poaseasion of a mature intellect, a well stored memory and a kindly disposition unimpaired by over seventy years of life's vicissi- tudes, the void left among his asso- ciates by his taking off may well be considered in the nature of a pub- lic as well as family bereavement, and hia removal the loss of an import- ant and influential factor in business and social life. That his course through life will leave its impress upon the rising generation is one hope amid the gloom that hangs heavy over his departure. The fun- eral took place Tuesday afternoon to Clinton cemetery and was very large ly attended. Deceased was born in Argyle - shire, Scotland, on the 11th March 1820. Came to Canada iu 1831. First settled in •Darlington, county of Durham. Then went to Beach - villa, Oxford county. Finally set- tled in. Clinton in 1854, where he commenced the manufacture of fan- ning mills which obtained a Pro- vincial reputation for their excel- lence ; and the 'uannfaeturer for itis probity. Messrs Chidley and Mc - Murchie were afterward,associated with him. About ton yars ago the business was taken over by the pres- ent firm and Mr. McTaggart retired from active business, having by in- dustry, prudence and upright deal- ing, which constitute the essence of successful buainess life, amassed to fair competence. • The life partner mud grown up family of ono daughter and three sons, we feel sure will have the respectful sympathy of all classes of citizens in Clinton, and hundreds throughout this and surrounding counties will echo the locally uni- versal high estimate of the aper- atter of deceaaed, and regret at his demise.

Mrs. Catherine Whitely, relict of the late Noble Whitely, died in Clinton, at the residence of Mr. Jas. Scott, on Monday, April 66, at the age of 88 years. etre was one of the pioueers of Oodericb township, having settled, about fifty five years ago with her late husband on a farm on the Huron Road, at,nut live miles from Clinton, opposite the old landmark that for many years was known as the "Big Elm" and which took up part of the roadway. Deceased was a remarkably kind- hearted lady, and the surviving pio- neers of the township will have kindly recollections of her. She was sister of Mr. Charles Lovett, of the Base Line, Goderich township. The funeral will leave Clinton to -day, Wednesday, at 11 a, in., for the Maitland cemetery near Goderich, where her husband, whose memory she fondly cherished, is buried. THE COLLEGIATE INSTITUTE \V10 closed yesterday out of respect to the memory of the late I1-Ir.Mat'oliu Mt: Taggart, who had been a tees ee and whose burial took place in the afternoon.
