H stated • that he did not believe that as e Minister lid was.a czar, but simply servant of the people, whom it would be his endeavor, to serve to the best extent of his ability. He did not pre- tend to be felly up in military matters, but he did intend to fully understand the needs of the Militia Department. (Loud applause.) It was his purpose pose to become personally acquainted with those needs, and he felt sure when he. asked for necessary grants in the House that he • would have the backing of both sides. He had himself rallied to arms in old Essex in 1861, retiring with the full rank of a private, and he was. in deep sympathy with the milita, forces. He recognized, too, that a wide distinction must be made between the paid services •of a permanent force or the hirelings of Europe and THE GENTLEMAN VOLUNREERS d O. iY4i' ► ; MI'• Oust l y e on for Sault Ste.

They were locked together under the grand old -banner Union Jack, and were prepared to fight' for Queen and empire for all that there was in them. He had ascer- tained that in Toronto and Hamilton a number of men were maintained and clothed over the full strength at the ex- pense of the battalions, and he wished to state that he intended to give thein increased establishments before sanc- tioning new regiments in those places. (Loud applause.) He also-•considred that it would be a good idea to utilize drill instructors from the permanent force to spend a month or two with the different • battalions. (Applause.) He wished the volunteers to write to him personally on any matters affecting themselves or to send suggestions, and in order to prevent some official or other from pigeonholing the communi- cations he wanted them 'to -mark the envelopes "private."

In addition, arrangments.were being made with the Imperial Govern- ment for the conversion of the Martini - Henri rifles, which they had in store in Canada. When this had been done they would have 15,000 stand of arms with which to equip the riflemen of Uanada. (Applause.)

Archbishop Walsh, of Toronto, spent his early years in the priesthood in the backwoods of the county of Simcoe. Much of his extensive reading was done by the light of the log fire and the tallow candle. As a bishop, one of his exploits was the removal, within three years, of a debt of $30,000 resting upon the diocesse of Lqndon when he took charge. The civic government of Chicago is in deet water, if not entirely submerg- ed. There is no money in the treasury, and none forthcoming to pay for works ' one or provide for those projected. At the same time the city does not know how to meet the pressing de- mands of those who are out of work. It is now being realized that while the Fair attracted universal attention to Chicago it has not been beneficial to the city. Philadelphia had the same experience. PRESS OPINIONS. Ross Must Go.

TRUSTEES.—We have heard that the Trustees of our school have been notified by P. S. I. Tom, of Goderich, ' c erich that he has withheld his signature from the municipal grant and that he will continue to do so until the Trustees engage an assaistant teacher. We think the Inspector is going too far in this case, in fact beyond what the Minister of Education or County Council expect an Inspector to go. The ratepayers of the section almost to a man are in favor of allowing the school to remain as it is at present. At the time of writing we understand that the Trustees will stand by one teacher and by so doing will at least save the ratepayers two hundred dollars a year.
