EDITORIAL NOTES.
The' raising of bogs is falling off
in England. Last year the number
decreased 26 per cent a_d the year
before 22 per cent. England's"scar.
city will be Canada's opportunity,
though the cheap bogs of the A rneri
can West will prove strong compe-
tition as regards price.
The exports of timber` to Britain
increased by over five million dol-
lars the last nine months. In this
as well as in eggs, apples, cheese,
butter, pork, cattle and horses, etc.,
the increase of exports to Britain
shows that the mother country is
the "natural" as well as the beat
market for our forest and farm pro.
ducts.
Statistician Johnson says that
Conservative candidates received
370,342 votes it 1887 and the Re-
for•mere 354,714. There was a
greater difference in 1891, the Con-
servatives polling 378,355 votes in
the latter year as against 352,102
for the Reformers. The average
majority per candidate in 1887 was
75 ; in 1891 it was 122. The re-
sults of the by elections inarea:;ed
the Conservative majorities so very
largely that at the next general elec-
tion the Conservatives may be ex.
pectel to wipe out a considerable
number of the present Opposition.
English authorities say that the
price of English wheat averaalts
24s to 27s per quarter, the lowest
average recorded, and this in the
face of thrashings of new wheat
being disappointing. English wheat
Belling at 72 to 81 cents will not
allow for big prices in this country.
Canada wheat would likely bring
higher prices, being drier. In
Clinton prices now are lower than
the average, price paid here during
the last 25 years. Mr. Jas. Fair, of
Fair's roller mill says the lowest
average, for any year during the
past 25 sears, paid by him, was 77
cents. - -
The Rev. G. M. Milligan, an
eminent Presbyterian clergymen of
Toronto, remarked in ono of his
discourses, "Tike man who is no
lover of his couutry is not a man to
be trusted." This clerical dig at
tho aunexationists is forceful and
true. On which the Telegram apt-
ly remarks : People who are free
lovers in regard to countries, are
only relatively better than thoso
who are free lovers with regard to
individuals. Thu true man is not
the enemy of all other women be
cause he loves his wife, nor is the
true Canadian the enemy of any
'elation, kindred or alien, because he
loves Canada. No nation was over
made great by tnen who believed
that all countries were alike, and
that one was as good as the other.
No, no. True patriotism must be
concentrated just as true love is
centred in the individual loved.

Mcretary Treasurer Poster of the
United States Cabinet is doubtleas
a competent financier and perfectly
well understands souud political
economy. But in order to justify
the American tariff on eggs he does
'violence to oonnnon sense, and we
must presume to his own convic-
tions also, when he says : "Eggs sell
for 15 cents in the States ; in Can-
ada they sell for 10 cents, but the
American consumer does not pay
the 5 cents difference ;the Canadian
egg seller has to pay it." He then
goes on to point out the benefit the
duty of 5 cents is to the American
farmer, by enhancing the value of
American eggs by 5 cents. This is
where he puts his foot iu it, If the
duty enables the American egg
raiser to get 5 cents more for ha.
eggs than ho would get were there
no duty, it id quite clear that
if the duty were off the American
consumer would buy his eggs for 5
cents less, There may be justifica.

the allegation that the Canadian
egg -seller pays the 5 cents duty

BY PROXY.
From Ilarper's Young People.
"Mother," asked Polly, "what
does to do a thing 'by proxy'
mean 1"
"To do it by employing another
person to do it in your place."
"But that wouldn't be doing it
myself," objected Polly.
"People consi'd'erit the same
think," said mother. "If I sent
Arthur on au errand, and he asked
Harold to go for him because his
foot tvas:lame—"
"Arthur hasn't got a latae foot,"
cried literal Polly.
"We must suppose he had, or
that he had the toothache, perhaps,
and so Harold went instead—"
"Harold doesn't like to . do

mistakes," said Polly, thoughtfully.

attacks of lameness and toothache.
"Well, it doesn't matter. •Per-

you understand, Polly 1"
"Yes um," animated Polly, as she
started up -stairs.
"I've got all the candy Aunt
Kittle gave me,',." said Polly to her-
self; "hut Arthur hasn't any.
Mother didn't know that."
She pulled open her bureau draw -
to taste a bit of the candy. It look-
ed very pink and tasted sweet.
"There's Isabella's dress right
'under it," exclaimed Polly. '•1've
been wondering where it could be."
She dragged poor Isabella Angel-
ina by her leg from under the
bureau, and proceeded to dress her.
"Polly 1" euddeuly came mother's
voice.
"Yes um."
"You must go to the store for me
Bridget is busy, and I want the
fruit for my fruit cake."
Polly laid down Isabella Angelina
with a sigh.
•'I just hate errands as much as
Harold does 1"
Her oyes fell upon the candy.
"Perhaps,"'murmured Polly, nod-
ding her head.
She slipped the candy in her
pocket and wont down stairs with a
demure face.
"Yes -um, yes -um. Raisins, cur-
rants, citron, and allspice. Why
don't you say all sprites, mother ?
It's correcter. • There's Harold at
the gate!"
She ran after him, and mother,
busy with her cake, did not
hear the little footsteps which pre-
sently pattered up stairs again.
Harold brought in the grocee's
parcels.
"How's this, my boy? It was
Polly I sent to Mr. Slote'a. You've
brought me the wrong kind of
raisins; these are very poor. No
currants at all! Citron, and one,
two, three packages of cloves, cinna-
mon, and ginger; bat no allspice 1"
"Dear! dear !" groaned Harold.
-'It's always the way."
He pushed the pink candy further
into his pocket. It wasn't neatly
so sweet as it had been.

MADDENED BY THE SIGHT OF THE
UNION JACK A OONSTAj3LE
CREATES A SCENE.
A British subject named Mac•'
kenzio thought proper to honour the
Columbian celebration by hoioiing
a British flag last Wednesday over
his home iu Tuckahoe, Westchester
County, New York city. The
village constable, Denis J. Mc
Mahon, soon gathered a force of
some two hundred roughs, armed
with pistols and guns, and surround
ing the Mackenzie home, demanded
an interview with its proprietor,
but found that gentleman, although
absent in body, well" -represented by
his better half, a Virginian by, birth,
and, although devoted to the Stars
and Stripes, dared McMahon and
his armed roughs to molest the: ob-
noxious flag. The following 'de
scription of what then took place
is.given in the New York World :—
Two young hunts:nen were w. t'eh
ing the proceedings from the street.
Both had rifles, and McMahon
directed them to turn the weapons
over to him. Others in the party
had pistols and muskets. and got
ready to use them if necessary.
"Don't shoot a woman, boys,"
commanded McMahon, as he, saw
the preparations hie men were mak-
ing, "but if that British renegade is
in the house, and I think he is, and
he fires shot or brickbats at us,
BLOW HIS HEAD OFF."
This order was received with
cheers, and the men loaded their
guns and awaited developments. A
moment passed, and then they saw
Mrs. Mackenzie go to the parlor
window and pulldown the shade.
All was quiet within after that;
and, finding that no warlike damen-
stration seemed to be coutetnphatad
by the besieged, McMahon yelled,
"Now, boys, down with that rag."
In a trice half a dozen men had
seized the pole and wrenched it
from its suppers. Amid cheers
it fell to the ground. Scores then
glade a grab at the flag and a tussle
ensued, for possession of it. Mc-
Mahon finally secured it, and plac—
ing it in the custody of a lieutenant,
called upon his men to help put an-
other staff in position. This was
done very quickly and then ,the
American ensign was hauled up and
saluted with three times three and a
tiger and howls and jeers for the
British flag. Then McMahon
ordered his comtuand to fall in.
The English trophy was placed in
the hands of a couple of men and
was dragged through the dust all
the way back to 'Tuckahoe. village.
The party had by this time been
swelled by the arrival of recruits to
upward of two hundred. Singing
"Yankee Doodle," "Hail, Calum—
bia," "Ta•ra-ra-Boom-de-ay" and
other melodies, the pa.adors march-
ed up the main street. A halt was
made in front of ex -Overseer
Kerwin's place of business. Then
the dirty, bedraggled flag was held
up while Palph Hodges, a butcher
and formerly an English subject,
SPAT UPON IT.
This seemed to set the crowd wild
again, and they demanded a speech
from their leader. McMahon
mounted a platform, fashioned with
boxes and a barrel, and asked every
man who would pledge himself not
to permit another insult to the
American flag to hold up his hand.
Every hand went up amid tremend-
ous huzzahs. McMahon also paid
his respects to the Britleh Govern•
went, denouncing it in the strongest
language for its brutality towards
Ireland and its coercive policy
towards all the provinces subject to
it. He made each one of his
hearers promise to tar and feather
Mrokenzie if it should be proved
that he removed the flag that bad
been hoisted by the party that bad
participated in the storming of the
castle. and predicted that 'Tuckahoe
would very soon have an evacuation
day—that is the British would be
run out of town. The speech was
rapturodsly applauded. Then those
who had taken part in the expedi-
tion tapped soveral kegs of beer.

went to the well, which is within
a low yarda of the house, and taking
off the covoriug he endeavored
to pull the plug out of one of the

and there was about 15 feet of
water in it. The plug was three
feet below the ground, and in try•

ran to the nearest neighbor's a
quarter of a mile distant. It must
hove boon 15 minutes before assis-
tauce came, and when the body was
secured a few minutes later it was
about 20 feet under the surface.
There was a slight bruise on. the
forehead and the hands wore lac
eratod in trying to raise himself out
of the well. Deceased was 40
years of ago and leaves a family of
six small children, the youngest

Masonic order.
ROMANISM IN CANADA.
At the meeting in Cook's Church,
Toronto, last week several papers
were read by divines attending the
Pan -Presby ter•ian Council on the as-
pects of Romanism. Third on the
programme was Rev. Dr; Laing, of
Dundas Ont., who dealt with "The
Aspect of Romanism in Canada."
He said that. Rotnanism was
the same in .Canada as else-
where. All the phases found
in other countries were Fere, and
in addition there were aspects sim-
ilar to thie country. The Church
of )tomo was more securely in-
trenchad in the Dominion than in
other Protestant countries, and that
Romanism was of the Jesuitical and
ultramontane variety. In Man-
itoba the percentage was 13, in
Ontario 16 and iu Quebec 80,
while the presentase throughout
the Dominion was 41, Theoretical-
ly Replan Catholicism hud no spec•
iul rights not possessed by . all
others in any province except
Quebec, but gradually they aro
gaining many privileges in many
other parts. The public schools
are not Protestant, for the Catholic
bishops, although they have their
own separate schools, see that noth•
ing anti papal creeps into the
public schools and the prieats are
allowed to exercise an undue in-
fluence. Separate schools have not
yet succeeded in getting a foothold
in the Maritime Provinces, and in
Manitoba, also, it is to be hoped,
that the recent decision of
the Imperial Privy Council
has settled the questtion final-
ly, while in the Territories
the endeavor to established them
has 'boon successfully resisted.
(Applause) The hierarchy in Quu-
bee has special privileges; the
church is by law establish, and
other privileges graciously granted
in the last century to a conquered
people are now haughtily insisted
upon as inalienable rights. Largo"
tracts of p.toperty are hold by the
Catholic Church in Quebec, and
she is immensely wealthy, owning at
the preaout time $240,000,000
worth 'of real estate, an am—
ount which is being steadily
augmented. In ,tithes $4,000,000
is collected and $6,000,000 more in
various other ways. In 1839 the
hierarchy put in a claim for the
right to levy taxes in Ontario,but the
following year this claim was quieted,
doubtless for a monetary considera-
tion. The struggle is still going on
in the great North-west, and the
end is not yet. Civil liberty, more-
over, is seriously affected in Quebec.
The cardinal prince of the church
is placed on an equality with the
representative of her Majesty Queen
Victoria, and treasures have been
laid before the Parliament in this
Dominion, endorsed es decrees
which have been amended and ape
proved by the Pope of Rome. The
division of Municipal parishes, the
civil marriage law and many other
purely temporal and political mat•
tem have been subject to the domina-
tion and influence of the priesthood.
But the work of evangelising the
French-Canadians was going brave•
ly on in Quebec, the North-west
and other parts, and the results,
direct and indirect, were far from
discouraging.

he will begin hie speech. "are jigni6•

John only hit the ground in the

they passed a neighbor who yelled
to John :
"Where are you going 1"
"Durn if I know," he replied, as

SOMETHING DEAD IN TIIE BREAD.
He says there is something wrong
with the party whose adherents fear
to hear the other side, that it is the
Oran with the paste diamond who is
afraid of the light, that something
is rotten in Denmark when one
white man is afraid to hear another
talk.
It reminds him of a fellow up in
the mountains who got married in
•She olden days and went by elate
on a bridal trip to Charleston. At
the hotel the waiter brought him
codfish balls for breakfast. He had
never seen any. He supposed them
to be fritters. He stuck his fork in
one of them and took a bite of it.
He liked the taste of it but little
-and the smell less. After several
frantic and unsuccessful attempts t_o
masticate and sequester it his atoms
ecu became critically rebellious.
He took it out of his mouth, slipped
it under the edge of his plate, and
turning to his wife said :—"Sallie,
the landlord looks like a clever man
arid I wouldn't hurt his feelings, so
we won't say anything about it, but
I'll be --if there ain't something
dead in that bread."
LIKE A CAT FIGHT.
After ,jumping on the woman's
suffrage plenk he atiked the boys in
a confidential way if they have ever
seen Mrs. Lease, the Third Party
orator. -"Well, 1. have," says he.
"Well, boys, she is a plumb sight.
if I had a 'houtid dog that would
bark at her as she passed by the
gate, I'd kill him before night.
She could sit on a stump in the
shade and keep the cows out of a
oneJhundred-acre cornfield without
a gun. She's got a face that's hard•
er and sharper than a butcher's
cleaver. I could take her by her
heels and split an inch board with
it. She's got a nose like en ant
eater, a voice like a cat fight and a
face that is rank poison to the nak-
ed eye."
1IfAT PESTIFEROUS ANIMAL.
In describing what will become of
the Third Party he gives this little
allegory :—"I have somewhere read
a story of a lion who lay asleep in a
forest. There came along a pesti-
ferous little animal whose name I
will not call, who, with an old
grudge against the lion, thought it
would be some satisfaction to slip
up and bite hits, for he thought he
wee dead. The lion was not dead.
It awoke and simply placed hie paw
upon this pestiferous little animal
and all that was left of him was a
greasy spot in the sand and a little
stench.
" I want to tell you, my fellow
citizens, that the Democratic lion in
Georgia is alive and awake, and in
November he will place the paw of
his power upon this pestiferous little
skunk of a Third Party, and all that
will be left of it will be a little
greasy spot on the sand and a little
stench."

A despatch published . in last
weeks papers stated that , "the .
British Government was anuexipg
all/ the Islands in the Pavia* that
have not already been appropriated.
Some time ago the British flat war
hoisted at the the Union group, and
now the Royalists have raised it at'
Gilbert Island."
A representative of the London
Free Press showed the despatch to
the venerable Dr. Paton, the Pres.•
byteriun missionary to th a New
Hebrides, et the close of his dyer -
flowing meeting in the Presbyterian
Church.
"It would be the greatest blessing
if it were true," be exclaimed, clasp-
ing his hands together. For years
the Australasian authorities have
been urging upon the Honie Govern-
ment the desirability of taking pos-
session of one or two of the groups
in their vicinity, and the Itew
Hebrides are as yet independent."
"What do you say would be tha
benefits of such annexation?"
"It would make their trade more
secure and increase it ; life and
property would be protected, and
many of the evils from which we
suffer now would he remedied.
"It would render missionary
work much more effective," suggest-
ed the reporter.
"Yes, it would be a blessing in
every way. You see, at present
Britain, Germany and the United
States hay e established a sort of
joint protectorate over several of
the Islands and agreed between
themselves that no liquor shall be
sold to the natives; that slavery
shall be prohibited, and that the
natives shall not be supplied with
firearms, which they use in fight-
ing amouget themselves or to kill
t .e wbistes. Liquor, you know, has
about the same effect on a South
Sea islander as it has on an Ameri-
can Indian."
"Are the natives. in favor of
British annexation 1"
Dr. Paton replied that they were
—the feeling was almost unanimous
in the New Hebrides so far as he
could judge. A British man of -war,
the Dart, visited the Islands recent-
ly, and from almost every Island
that she approached deputations of
the chiefs and people came off with
petitions that Great Britain would
plant her flag there and take pos-
session of the islands.
"Were these. Christian natives
only, or did the others join in these
petitions?" was the reporter's next
question.
The doctor, in reply, named two
or three islands that he said were
wholly Pagan, and from these the
petitions were just as strong and
urgent. The people are practically
unanimous, I believe, he concluded.
The doctor stated that the unpro-
tected islands are the rendezvous of
the slave traders, and those who
minister to the vicious tastes of tate
s'tvagos. The British were held in
tl.e highest esteem, because the
missionary work was nearly all done
by them. But the natives wanted
nous of the French, who were very
tyrannical and cruel in their treat-
ment of the natives. They avenged
wrongs by treachery, and in making
reprisals on the natives for evil
der ds, they would slay innocent and
guilty alike. He had heard of their •
euticing a lot of natives down to the
shore uuder pretence of trading,
and thea butchering them offin the
most ruthlesa manner with shot and
shell fired from the ship. The
Germans wete sometimes cruel in
their treatment of the people, but
the•English and Americans never.
They would inflict punishment for
outrages, as was perfectly right, but
thry were always most careful to
find out the guilty parties first.
The French would not allow a mis-
sionary on an island that they had
;•ossession of, and in one case the
commander of one of their vessels
had landed with a file of soldiers
and marines and taken Mr. Jones a
