Mr. Laurier's motion of censure of the Government, as stated last week, showed an immovable maj'or- ity for the new Ministry of at least 35 in a full House. Sir John Thompsou's reply to Mr. Laurier was a Masterly speoimon of accurate statement, couched in the chastest parliamentary language and deliver- ed with unerringly logical airn and such destructive force that the labored tissue of gossipy statements made by ir[r. Leurier vanished into their original nothingness. The following is a condensed report of Sir Juhu's reply : SIR JOHN T'IIOMPSOM said that when the other day Mr. Laurier had intimated that he intended to arraign the Government for supposed depar- ture from the principles of Sir John A. Macdonald's policy, his utterance wrs so vague that the Government could not understand his objection, and now, after listening to the lengthy address just delivered, he must confess that he did not under- stand it yet`- The only indication given was in the objection taken to Hon. Mr. Abbott, but when Mr. Laurier said this was a departure from Sir John iMacdohald's policy, he forgot that Sir John made him what he was until his present promotion —not only a colleague, but the leader of the Government party in the Senate. This new found desire on the part of the Opposition to maintain the policy of Sir John Macdonald no doubt resulted from the spectacle of united ranks of the followers of that statesman. (Ali, plause.) Mr. Laurier had expressed astonishment that Mr. Abbott had been made Premier, not because he held a dollar in the stook of C. P. Ii., hut because, forsooth, his heart- strings are tied to that great organi- zation. It was no matter that he had led the Upper House without reproach, whilst all the time his heartstrings were tied to the C. P. R. Mr. Laurier had forgotten to state what particular interest of the coun- try is jeopardized by Mr. Abbott's appointment, and when any issue comes before Parliament indicating any surrender to the C. P. R. Co. it will be titne enough to tell us that the heartstrings of some in authority are tied to that interest. Mr. Laurier had spoken of rilral factions and of divisions of the Empire, but he (Sir John Thompson) could tell him that in the •Conservative party there was no rival factions, and no disposition to divide the Empire. 1t was@not in vain that they had for so many years been companions in arms svith Sir John Macdonald. They had learned from hint their first great duty, each to abase his own personal interests and advantages for those of the country; but it did not take very strong eyesight to see across the/louse rival factions all too eager to divide the Empire at a moment's notice for their own per- sonal gratification. As to the refer- ence made to Mr. Abbott's statement In the Senate, if it was to be under stood as declaring a compromise between rivals for the office of Premier, he for once must differ from hie colleague. There was no rivalry. On the other band there was a dis- position to avoid the responsibility which had broken down the, greatest statesman this country ever possess ed. He read the eulogy of I11r. Abbott made by Mr. Power, a leader of Liberals in the Senate, and agreed with the statement that Mr. Abbott is Premier because he was the . best man for the position. In the long experience he had had with Mr. Abbott he had learned to esteem him, if for one reason more than another, because he never allowed any measure affecting his pecuniary interests to be discussed in his presence in council. Respecting the quotation from La Presse, he had this to say, that the Government were iu no way bound by the state- ments appearing in La Presse. He for one was not in the least bound by it, and was sure the Secretary of State was equally independent while he no doubt equally respected the gentleman who writes the opins ion in it. As to the Montreal'Herald interview, Mr. Laurier apparently forgot to state that Mr. Chapleau had publicly and distinctly repudiat- ed that interview as false. As for myself, he said, I have no hesitation to avow, and defend if impugned, the policy I have pursued. I was honored by His Excellency's request that I should advise him as to the course he should follow. I was furs ther entrusted with His Excellency's request that I should undertake the task of forming an Administration. I immediately begged that His Excellency would lay his command in worthier hands. The closeness with which I have followed Sir John taught me the great responsibility of the office ; and reflecting upon the situation , and believing that I could confidently count upon the -united loyalty and support of the whole Conservative party—(great applause) —I believed there were in the ooua- try many electors who would have greater confidence in a man who had not served Ave or six years, but who Was My ilettier not only fn age, but vastly also in public service and position otherwise. As to the alleg- ed agreement for decapitation, no such was ever entered into or con- templated, except by the inventive genius of a Grit editor. When the d?remier.,oame. to. us. .-to, ask our .00•. operation, the answer unanimously given was, "Yes ; we will assist you either by serving under you or by leaving you free to choose others in our places, as you prefer. We are determined to sustain the policy of the Itarty in offioa, or ol?t of iaflfoa.'"' As to the. delay la too forming Of the Ministry, I know that Parliament, will not hold His Excelle loy'a advisers. responsible, because during that period His Excellency lead rro advisers at all. . PROHIBITION. As a preliminary to an eventually possible plebiscite vote on prohibi- tion the government bill brought into the house by the Finance Minis- ter, and passed by a vote of 107 to 88, is of an eminently serviceable character. The result of it will be to educate the people, by the in- formation that will be afforded by it, up to a proper understanding of the probable effects of a drastic prohibitory measure, so that they will be able to intelligently vote for or against it. While we agree with Rev. Dr. Norman and Rev. Mr. Troop, in the Anglican Synod in Montreal, when they de- clared that "God is not a prohibi- tionist," we are fully aware that secular legislation is not always sup- posed to be in accordance with the higher conceptions of the will of God as found in his revealed word, yet the will of the people must be obeyed. And if they want to ex- periment in legislation that is cal- culated to improve upon the higher law, who will say them nay. 'Bibli- cal history has several instances in which the chosen peole were per- mitted to attempt to improve upon the divine law which ended disas- trously, except from the lessons of experience learned thereby. God is not a sumptuary prohibitionist, nor a legislative or moral prohibi- tionist. Freedom of will is the un- derlying thesis of his attitude toward mankind. Mr. Foster's prohibition resolu- tions which were carried, the three members from Huron voting against it, Mr. Cameron consistently so, but Messrs. McDonald and McMillan inconsistently, are :— That, in the op?nion of this House, it is desirable without delay to ob- tain for the information and consid- eration of Parliament, by means of a Royal Commission, the fullest and most reliable data possible re• apecting 1. The effects of the liquor traffic upon all interests affected by it in Canada. 2. The measures which have been adopted in this and other countries with a view to lessen, regulate or prohibit the traffic. 3. The result of these measures in each case. 4. The effect that the enactment of a prohibitory liquor law in Can- ada would have in respect of social conditions, agricultural business, industrial and commercial interests, of the revenue requirements of m un- icipalities, provinces and the Do- minion, and also as to its capability of effectual enforcement. 5. All other information bearing ou the question of prohibition. EDITORIAL NOTES. It is given as a Scotch estimate : "There are good and bad of a' sorts but far worse the Irish." It remain ed for Scotchman, John McMillan, M. P. for South Huron, to amend this in his remarks in the house on prohibition. Mr. McMillan said : "I heard the other day of a condition of things in my native land tor which I- was ashamed. I read a statement from the contractor for the construction of the bridge over the Frith of Forth, in which it was stated that in building the bridge it was found that the workmen of Bi•eohin had fallen into ouch a con- dition that when men were required who were prepared at all times to do their duty the contractor had to employ Italians and Bavarians after the Scotchmen had worked two or three hours, which was the time they were able to work on the foun- dations of bridge. The mom- ent they left work they wont to the hotels, and when they again return- ed to take their places they were not capable of performing their du- ties, hence foreigners were put in their places and the long boasted British workmen had to give place to men who were not, I believe, sup- erior, but inferior, except for this drinking evil." Proceeding, Mr. McMillan said that the sea captains would not take Scotchmen for Bail- ors on account of their drunken• nese; that Italians and Danes and Norwegians and even Chinese were preferred in their stead.

In the (iQtage Qf the budget debete on Friday, Mr, Weldor landed one on Sir Richard Cartwright's proboscis that fairly staggered the knight ofthe motel eouptenance, Ur. Weldon bad been dealing caeaticelly with Sir Richard's campaign in the United Statea. After referring to the visit to Boston, Dr. Weldon proceeded : "Then came that famous ennexesion pamphlet of hie paid servant, and then came hie movements to Washington aud Boston, and the intrigues of Mr. Farrar and the movements of Mr. Farrar who was in hie pay as we have heard. I would be glad if the hos. gentleman would contradict this. Was Sir Richard Cartwright at Washington plotting the dismemberment of the empire and the taking away of Canada from the Queen's Dominions ? We know that he was in close friendship and- oomradeehip and political association with Mr, Eraetus Wiman, a gentleman who came to Cana- da and boasted here with impudent falsehoods on his lips that he was a loyal Canadian, and who went to the committee of the American Senate and to $oston public meetings and openly deolared that he was an aenexationiat. Now, in view of the fact that Mr. Wiman was that hon. gentleman's ally, that Mr. Farrar was in that hon. gentleman': employ, that the member for South Oxford had got control of the Globe newspaper, that he himself was at Washington in May, and that he was making these apeeebes in Boston, war there not good reason for our fearing, as 1 may say I did fear, and as I do now fear, that that Hon. gentleman is at heart, although he may not say it openly, an annexationist." When any Minieterialiat speaker ie re- ferring to him Sir Richard usually affects the deepest disdain and this is what he did on Friday. Dr. Weldon had pro- ceeded as far as the words quoted above when Sir Richard, who had evidently been listening, and did not like hie true character to be so vigorously painted, he coule stand the thrashing no longer and he snorted out the words: "Perhaps you had better ask your present Premier about that." The Grits cheered as is duty bound, but Prof. Weldon was by no means dis- concerted. Quickly he replied : "Ah, go hat k to history if you like ; look at the career of Sir George Cartier, who was onoe in arms against hie English Queer, but who afterwards devoted his life to the cervica of his Queen and ended that life as a true servant of his Queen. Sir George Cartier did not take honors from his Queen, and then seek to betray her." How the doo.or's friends cheered at this; but the Grite were dumb. Proceeding, he said : "I wonder, Mr. Speaker, if, when the roar of the Beaton banquet had died away, and the hon. member for Smith Oxford laid hie head upon his pillow and thought cf the early days when his Queen, for good services which he had rendered to her, had decorated him with knighthood, I wonder if then there ever came serosa his fancy the Image of that good Queen, and if there ever came a feeling of baseness that after having taken the oath cf allegiance to the Queen, as all members of Parliament have taken it, and after wearing then, as I am informed he does not wear now, the decoration of knighthood, I wonder if he did not, looking at the future, say I know that this unrestricted reciprocity is humbug ; I know that it is nothing but comma:oial union, and I know that when Cauada puts her feet upon that inclined plane she will irretrievably plunge down to political union with the United States. The hon. gentleman knew that perfectly. Long aeo we read the words which Tennyson puts in the mouth of the old English king when he met first hie beautiful Guinivere after her flight : `Lieet thou here so low whom once I knew in happier summera?'" The drubbing Sir Richard got will not be forgotten by him for many a day. CANADIAN FINANCES AND DUTIES. Mr. Foster in presenting his buds get to the House, dealt succinctly, yet fully, with the present condit- ion of our finances. The revenue for 1889.90 had been greater, and the expenditure less, than was anticipa- ted, leaving a surplus of $3,883,893 on the year's operations ; that is, on consolidated fund account there was this to the good for the year, with a million and a half carried to the re• duction of debt account. There had during the year been an expenditure on capital account of $5,776,301. Thus it had come about that his prog- nostication made three years ago that in 1891 an equilibrium between re. ceipts and expenditures, including capital account, should be reached, had almost been literally verified, for this year the debt had been inereas. ed only by $3,170. This excellent showing, it may be stated, made Sir Richard Cartwright look bluer than one of his own speeches, a tinge of countenance not relieved by the point Mr. Foster made immediately afterward, that the rate of interest on the debt this year was the lowest with one exception in the history of the country. For the present year the revenue to date was $36,656,357, and calculating the 10 days yet to elapse by comparison with last year the total would be $38,858,701. The expenditure, taking into ao count the extraordinary outlay in the °ensue ar.d other matters, would be $36,200,000, leaving a surplus of over $2,000,000. Including capital account there would not be a diger. ence of $100,000 this year, while the debt per capita was lower than it had been before for many years. These statements evoked the great- est enthusiasm on the Ministerial side and exactly the reverse oppo- site. THE NEW DUTIES The discussion of the probable in:. Dome for next year brought Mr. Fos- ter to the changes in the tariff. hers malLkl o-41 lSia41, ,11gl lIMI.,. revision of the tariff this year, but there was one article which appeals, ed to men's palates and pockets that should be dealt with. This was the item of sugar. The Minister discus - J.

A few of his figures may be explained. For instance, he showed that in 1878 we imported 109,000,000 pounds of sugar; in 1880, 116,000, 000 pounds, and in 1889 223,000, 000 pounds. In 1878 94 per cent, of the imporation was refined sugar and only S per cent raw ; in 1889 ouly 5 per cent. was relined 95 per cent. was raw, showing the growth of the industry. In 1878 the duty was 2.35 cents per pound; in 1889 it was onty 1.58 cents per pound. The 109,000,000 pounds cost$6,185, 000 ; the 223,000,000 pounds only $5,800,000. The Government had dr :Wed, said .dr. Foster, to sweep away with oue stroke of the pen the dirty on raw sugar and thus relieve the people of a burden of $3,500,000 of taxation, and never had a Gover- nment in Canada come down with such a sweeping reduction of taxa- tion. Having to face this reduc- tion, he proposed to meet it in two ways, first, by an even more rigid economy in the public expenditure, and, second by a slight increase in the duties on liquors and tobacco, which he calculated would produce an increa.el revenue of $1,500,000. The Grit idea of taxing tea and cof- fee was properly scouted. As will be seen by the list of changes the in• dustry of sugar refining is amply protected under the new regulations, and the beet root sngar industry of Quebec is given a bounty, for this season only equal to the protection they would have had had the tariff re- mained the sante as it was at the opening of the season. In this con- nection Mr. Foster took occasion to announce most emphatically that this wits in no sense to commit the Government to the policy of bount. ies for that industry. Finally it was announced that the duties on Halt were reduced one-half. UNREASONING FAITII. EXAMPLES IN HISTORY OF ITS INFLU• ENCE UPON IIUMAN HAPPINESS. They were not wretched at all, these -early London citizens ; but, on the contrary, joyous and happy aud hopeful. And not only for the reasons already stated, but for the great fact—the greatest fact of the time—of their blind and unreason- ing faith. It le impossible to ex• aggerate the importance of unreason- ing faith as a factor in human hap. piness. The life of the meanest man was filled with dignity and with splendor, because of the great inheritance assured to him by the Church. We must never for one moment leave out the Church in speaking of the past. We Must never forget that all people, save here and there a doubting Rufus or a questioning Prince of Anjou, be- lieved without the shadow 6T any doubt. Knowledge brought the power of questioning. As yet there was no knowledge. Therefore every man's life, however miserable, was, to his happy ignorance, the certain anteroom of heaven. We are fond of dwelling on the modiieval hell, the stupidity and the brutality of its endless torture, and the selfish• ness of buying salvation with mass- es. Hell, my friends, was always meant for the other man. IIe who saw the devils painted on the church wall, rending. tearing, frying, cut- ting, scouring the poor souls in hell, knew these souls for those of his enemies. Like Dante, he saw among them all his public and his private foes. He looked upward for hie hope. There he beheld loving angels bearing alc.ft in their soft arms the soul redeemed to the abode of perfect blies. In that soul he recognized himself ; he saw the portraiture, exact and life -like, of hia own forgiven and eanotified features.—WALTER BES ANT, in Ha"per's Magazine far July.

AN OLD PROVERB. An oft -quoted and mostfrequeut- ly wrongly ascribed sentence occurs in Laurence Sterne's "Sentimental Journey." It is, however, but a rendering of a proverb much older than Sterne's time. The "Senti- mental Journey" was written about 1767. But Bishop Herbert, nearly one hundred years before, in' his Jacula Prudentum, uses the express Sinn, "To a close shorn sheep God gives wind by measure." Estienne, a French writer, in 1594 said, "Dieu mesure le froid a la brebis tondue" (God measuras the cold to the ehorn ewe.) Estienne gives another form of the proverb as "Dieu donne le froid selon la roblie;" that is, '.God will not let the cold exceed the warmth of the -fleece," or, as it is less poetically rendered by another French writer, with a different and more practical meaning, not so fre- quently falsified by the actual facts of life, "God :lute a man's -coat according to his measure." That the proverb is French in origin there seems no doubt, as various ver- sions of it are found in different writers. In Bulwer's novel of "Rienzi," whose scene is laid in the thirteenth century, he makes one of his characters say, "God will temper the rough wind to the lamb." This is, of course, no proof that the pro- verb was in use as early as that, but it is quite possible that a phrase so well known as this seems to be from the first date of its appearance in literature, had a far earlier origin folklore. A NEW DEPARTURE from all the old established conditions on which proprietary medicines are sold, has been made by the World's Dispensary Medical Aeeociation, of Buffalo, N. Y., who having for many years observed the tbousande of marvelous cures of liver, blood and lung diseases effected by Dr. eieroe's Golden Medical Discovery, now feel warranted in selling this wonderful medicine (as they are doing through druggists) under a positive guarantee that it will give satisfaction in every case, or money paid for it will be prompt- ly refunded. "Golden Medical Dis- covery" cures all humors or impurities of the blood, from whatever cause aris- ing, es eruptions, blotches, pimples, old sores and eorofulou° affections. It is equally efficacious in bilious disordere, tudigeetion or dyspepsia and chronic catarrh in the head, bronchial, throat and lung affections, accompanied by lingering cough.. SERMON TO MASONS. Canon Sutherland, in referrir.g to St. John's Day, et Hamilton, took for his text the words from the Acts of the Apostles : "John fulfilled his course." The mission of the saint was preparing the way of the Lord and to bear witness to Hirn when he came, and he gloriously fulfilled that mission. He discharged the functions of a herald and then as a witness, the latter with such bolds nese that he was consigned to prison. He impressed upon mankind three duties—duty to our God, our neigh- bor and ourselves. As the patron saint of Masonry he has bequeathed to us a beautiful system of morality, veiled in allegory and illustrated by symbols founded on the great prin• ciples of prudence, justice, temper - truce and fortitude. The arch is the symbol of the gate of death, illumin- ated by the light of truth and pro, mise ne contained in the knowledge of a Savior's sacrifice. The moon reminds us that we should reflect as strongly as possible the life of tha Man who suffered and died for us. The seven stars moving in their orbits at His will typify the obedi• ence that should characterize our every action.- The present occasion is one dedicated to the practice of that greatest virtue, charity, which should ever characterize the acts of every true Mason, not only in a practical sense as represented by the donation of silver to the support of the needy and suffering, but also in the attitude maintained toward "MANY MEN, MANY MINDS," but all men and all minds agree ae to the merit° of Bnrdock Pills, small and sugar - °netted.

"I had rattier a remarkable exper- ience while I was chaplain of the army," remarked one of the minis- ters at the pastor's union. "What is it?" "I had been working and talking to the boys about gambling, and they finally turned all the cards in,the camp over to me. The next day they were paid off. The follow- ing day I was passing out and saw a blanket spread out with two lumps of sugar on one corner, and about half the money in tho camp spread out." "What were they doing?"
