The budget debate will then be resumed, If the public read and digest the speeches, they will learn a good deal that should open their eyes. The amount expended by the Do- minion in connnection with the World's Fait was nearly $250.000. The spending of this money was of more benefit to Canada than some of the other expenditures made by the government. • The people of Montreal asked the government for a grant of $250,000 to- wards the proposed international ex- hibition, but the ministershave wisely refused to make the grant. This run- ning to the government for every needy concern that comes along has reached its limits and must be stopped. Our esteemed cotemporary indulges in some literary pyrotechnics because of the illustration given in these col- umns last week showing the absolute impartiality of Judge Toms, anddenies that any "fellow -Mason" ever expected what was attributed to him. Life is too short to fight over these things, but we might say, without any reflection on the Masonic body, that once in a while it has been found that a Mason even in Clinton will do something that is hardly in keeping with Masonic ethics, or the principles of commercial honor, and for the information spegially of our cotem, we will inform him that the fellow -Mason concerned was re- sponsible for the paragraph, and did • expect what is attributed to him. • Manitoba School Question. A despatch from Ottawa of Monday says:—The Manitoba school question, which at one time threatened open dis- ruption between the two races here, is virtually settled. It is stated on relia- ble authority that the settlement is in the main due to the good offices of Lor d Aberdeen, between whom, Sir A. P. Caron (Postmaster -General), Monsign- eur Langevin (Archbishop of St. Boni- face), and Monsigneur Duhamel, of Ottawa, a meetingwas held last week. As a result the anitoba Government may put certain amendments to the school law at the next session of its Legislature, on June 13. These amend- ments will provide that the Govern- ment retains control of the inspection of the schools and its expenditure, but at the same time a Catholic school sys- tem will be inaugur aced ,providing Catholic schools with the same curir- ulum as the Public schools, but with the addition of half an hour's Catholic religious instruction. Three men will be selected by the clergy to form a Catholic school board. The remedial order will be withdrawn. On the other hand The Toronto World says:—Considerable interest is being manifested in the proposed conference of the Manitoba school question. Judging from the utterances of the principals in the conference, it is feared that much good will not result on the meeting, although every effort 11 be made by those who are origin- ating it to arrive at an amicable con- clusion. Lettere received daily by the Manitoba members state that the pub- lic feeling amongst the Protestants there is strongly adverse to any change in the present law. Of the Methodists, 00 per cent are said to be opposed to any interference; of the Presbyterians •and Baptists, 07 per cent, and of the Anglicans, 80 per cent. Fiends of the dominant party in Manitoba do not -hesitate to say that a compromise Should have been considered before the Itetnedial Order was sent forward. Mr. Greenway and his friends are inclined to regard � the order as a peremptory Mandate, although the members of the Dominion Gnvernment have decided •pthetWise. »ISTIICT: MEETINGS, 4A.90,1194.,' The May meeting of the Mettiodist phut Giles r.n Goderloh district was held at Rettsall, ole Ft'lday.

Resolutions of sympathy with Rev Mr Hall, of Ashfield, and Rev F. E. Nugent, Palmerston, were passed. Hayfield was recommended to receive $150 from the Sustentatian fund.— Turner's appointment. 'formerly be- longing to Ontario street, Clinton, was transferred to Londesboro circuit. An effort was made to close Ebenezer ap- pointment, on Holmesville circuit, add Zion from Victoria street, Goderich, to Holmesville, transfer Sharon to Bay- field circuit, in order to make the lat- ter self-sustaining, but it was left over for a year. The circuit schedules show a net increase of 40 in membership over last year, and an increase in connexion - al funds of $217. Rev W. Smyth was e% cted to the Stationing Committee; R v J. Edge and R. Holmes members of Conference S.S. Committee; Rev J. G iloway and J. C. Stoneman, mem- be s of the E. L. Committee; G. Ache- s(), General Conference Missionary C mittee.

Wingham. he annual May meeting of the Methodist churches in the Wingham District was held in that town on Tues- day afternoon and Wednesday, Rev Geo. Buggin presiding. Two young men, A. Rapson, from Londesboro, and W. Dever, from Teeswater, were re- commended as candidates to the min- istry. It was generally conceded that a proposal to enlarge various Districts by uniting several of the smaller ones was a move in the right direction, and the expectations are that Kincardine and St. Marys Districts will cease to exist under these names. Rev A. K. Birks was chosen District Secretary, with Rev Mr Cobbledick and Rev Dr Gifford as assistants. Jackson's ap- pointment, now belonging to Blyth will be returned to Walton circuit; and Alma, from Seaforth, and Turner's, from Clinton, will be attached to Londesboro and make it a double cir- cuit. The reports from the different charges were read, and showed a good degree of prosperity in the church as a whole. Rev J. W. Pring was elected to the Stationing Committee; Rev Dr Gifford and B. Gerry to the S. S. Com- mittee; Rev G. H. Cobbledick and W. H. Kerr to Epworth League Commit- tee; and Dr Towler to the Missionary Committee. Fall District Meeting will be held at Blyth. Guelph Conference Commission The "Commission," consisting of the Guelph "Conference Special Commit- t.ee" and the following laymen, W, J. Smith, W. J. Ferguson, Isaac Hord, H. L. Rice, M.A., J. E. Carson, L. H.You- mans and John Rutherford, met in the Norfolk street church, Guelph, on Tuesday, 21st May, pursuant to the call of the President, Rev. James Mc- Allister. The work of the Commission was to allocate the assets and liabilities of the Conference, to the new Conferences, proportion the amounts contributed to the respective funds in 1894, by the districts forming part of such new Conferences, respectively, and close the financial business of the year. All the members of the Commission were present but two. The President open- ed with devotional exercises, after which the returns fr m the districts to the several funds were received. The duties of the Committee were similar in every respect to the work of the Conference, so far as finances were concerned, and after the claims on the several connexional funds' were met, reports of receipts and disbursements were ordered to be prepared by Treas- urers of the respective funds, and for- warded to the London and Hamilton Conferences, according to the districts, to be inserted in the Minutes of Con- ference for 1895. As usual with church funds, the claims were fully equal to the amounts in the hands of the seve- ral treasurers, and the surplus to be allocated to the new Conferences will not greatly enrich their exchequers. Complimentary resolutions were pass- ed to the President, Secretary and as- sistant secretaries of the Conference, for the manner in which their duties have been discharged during the year, and after a few remarks from the President, expressing regret at the separation of brethren who had been in happy and harmonious relations for the past eleven years, since the union of 1884, the proceedings we'e brought to a close. District Pemplars. The quarterly meeting of the District Temple, I.O.G.T., was held in the Tem- perance Hall, Constance, on Wednes- day. About -45 delegates'were present, all being sumptuously entertained by the members of Constance Lodge. There are 18 lodges in the district; 11 made returns; the membership in the district is 715, an increase of 46. Mr Murdock, D.C.T., gave an excellent ad- dress on the Model Good Templar. Messrs Murdock, Brockenshire and Chant were instructed to draft, a reso- lution of regret at the removal of Mr Lawrason from the district. It was decided to have a question drawer in connection with the next meeting. Mr Murdock was selected as delegate to the Grand Lodge, the officers elected for the ensuing term are as follows:— P.O.T., J. G. Murdoch, Lucknow; D.T., R. 13. Chant., Clinton;V.T., Miss McIn- tosh, Constance; C., W. Brockenshire, Wingham; S.J.T., Miss Babb, Blyth; Sec.-Treas., J. Mcgregoh, Londesboro; M., L.Farnham, Constance; D.M., Mise L. Miller, Clinton; A.S., Miss Ouimette, Londesboro; Guard, Miss Farnham, Constance; Sentinel, A. S. Knox, Au- burn; Chap., J. Gray, Biyth. Mr Brockenshire, who had his camera took a photo of the gathering. It was decided to hold the next meeting in Lucknow, the date to he flxed by the Executive. Disiriet xissjongry Couventlot► The fifth annual convention of the GedetichDietr'.ict Women's Mlselonary Society of•the Methodist church, was heldePresident, Ee a ll, on Thursday, May 10, After ..edMrsLeech, presiding. d o ibnal exercises, reports from the various auxiliaries were giv- en, Goderich North street; Clinton Rattenbury and Ontario streets; Sea - forth, Holmesvillet Varna, Rrucefield, Hensall, Dungannon and Nile report- ing. Meetings are held regularly, and interest sustained in the Society. and awakened in the congregation by hold- ing the general prayer meeting once a month as a missionary prayer meeting. Most of the societies had also sent bales or boxes of clothing and quilts to needymissions. Goderich North street and linton Rattenbury street Mission Circles each reported having raised fifty dollars during the year, also doing home mission work. The North street "Happy Worker's," under the manage- ment of Mrs (Rev.) Edge, and the "Wide Awakes," of Rattenbury street, with Miss L. Holmes as leader, are keeping the missionary interest thor- oughly aroused among thg juniors, and developing intelligent earnest worers, Mrs -(Rev) Henderson, in a few well- chosen words, extended a kindly greet- idg and welcome to the convention, from the sister churches of Hensel'. Rev Mr Edge, on behalf of the District Meeting, then in session, also conveyed to the convention their sympathy and interest with the ladies in their noble work. Duets were given by Mrs Wren and Hothaw, also Misses Coad and Stone- man. Miss McLepd, of Dungannon, gave a paper on "The Church and her work;" work done unto the Lord is labor glorified, and stamped with the seal that will bring to us the "well done." The address of Mrs McMechan, of London, to which the ladies had been, looking forward with so much interest, then followed. She opened with a plea for the children. Tiain them early in the missionary work; help them to learn who were the first mis- sionaries, and what they did. The ob- ject of the Mission Bands should be not so much to raise money as to se- cure knowledge of the great work be- ing done. Evary auxiliary should have a library; donations of suitable books might be made. A collection occasionally, or five cent tea, would also aid in purchasing books. Do not allow the spiritual or social part of the meeting to become absorbed by the business. An interestingprogram may be given, by illustrating the essays and readings with articles, pictures or drawings of the places described. A president should be a woman who would do nothing that she could get some one else to do for her. We must add our length to the missionary lad- der. Our motto—not your money or your life, but your money and your life. Our reward—a broader culture, a wider experience,an over -Sowing heart. After a short consecration meeting led by Miss Gange, the convention closed with the benediction. M. WASHINGTON, Sec. Linton Cemetery . It takes a great deal of labor and considerable time to get the cemetery into anything like permanent neatness, simply because the proper methods were not introduced at the outset. It is looking much better this year than it ever looked, and the committee ex- pect that once in proper shape, it will not require much labor to keep it in such. The following clauses of the Cemetery by-law, passsed in 1893, will prevent unpleasantness, if borne in mind:— "No plots will be permitted to be elevated more than six inches above the level of the roads or walks." "No mounds of earth shall be raised over graves to ,.a height exceeding three inches over the natural sur face of the lot, nor shall any railings, posts, chains, or other elevated enclosures be permitted." "Accumulations of earth, etc must be removed by persons causing the same." Dogs are not allowed in the Ceme- tery: nor are persons the worse of liquor, nor children, unless accompani- ed by parents or guardians." Church Chimes. Rev T. Sinclair, formerly pastor of Wingham Baptist Church, died at Ridgetown recently. Knox Church, Belgrave, will extend a call to Rev W. G. Hall, a graduate of Knox College. Rev J. McNab, clerk Maitland Pres- bytery has been quite ill, but we are pleased to bear that he is now able to get about again. Rev Wm. Savage, of Guelph, has been in the Methodist ministry for 58 years and is still hale and hearty and held three services last Sunday. The Ball Family of jubilee singers, who give an entertainment in the On- tario street church, on Monday evening next, will also take part in the singing exercises on Sunday. Rev. A. Stewart was this week at t.end- ing the Hamilton Presbytery meeting at St. Catherines, in the interest of the call from Brucefleld Church to Rev W. Muir, Ancaster. Rev Matthew Swan, of Fergus, was one of Acton's business men fifty years ago, but has been in the ministry mans years. He is the father of Rev P. Swan, Hensall. Brussels Methodist Church has a membership of 245, and Rev G. H.Cob- hledick, B. D., has been. invited to re- main as pastor tor the next ensuing year yvhich invitation he accepted sub- ject to the Stationing Committee. The Hamilton Presbytery has sus- tained the call to Rev Walter Muir, of Ancaster, from the Brucefleld Presby- terians. and Mr Muir will he transfer- red to Huron. His induction takes place at Brucefleld, on the llth of June. Rev Wm. Norton, of Mount Forest, has moved to Brussels and will reside in the Norton Terrace which belongs to him. Mr Norton is a superannuated Methodist minister, who entered the minititry in 1856. He has lived for the part five years at Mt. Forest. This is the first meeting of Guelph district for many years that Rev Fat- her Fear, of Elora, has been absent at.

Mr Tully has for thirteen years been pastor of Knox Church there and is deservedly recog- nized as one of the ablest clergymen in the county. Arrangements are about complete for holding the fourth annual con- vention of the Huron County Chris- tian Endeavor Union in Blyth on Sept. 3rd and 4th. An effort will be made to have R. N. Burns, of Toronto, address the Convention. A list of practical subjects has been prepared and a most enjoyable time is expected. A list of the subjects will be given our readers in a later issue. At the Ontario street Methodist League, on Monday evening, the Rev W. Smyth gave an address on the sub- ject, "Intimations of immortality," The address, though given with but little previous preparation, was, we venture to assert, one of the clearest and most profound ever delivered to they oung people. The lecturer dealt withpast theories and present views held, and explained some passages of scripture, in a manner which will not soon be forgotten. ARMY NOTES.—The Desperado Bri- gade left town for Wingham on Tues- day. Adjutant and Mrs Taylor, of Seaforth, will visit Clinton twice next week, on Monday, the 27th, for a pri- vate soldier's meeting, and on Thurs- day, the 30th, for a public meeting in the Salvation Army barracks. Capt. McLeod is expecting a visit from the Naval Brigade in the near future; this brigade is composed of the crew of the Army's steam cruiser William Booth. Full particulars will be learned, how- ever, when Capt. Barr, the advance agent arrives. At the meeting of the Epworth League of Christian Endeavor of Rat- tenbury street Methodist church, last Monday evening, Mr W. R. Lough gave a very able and helpful address upon the subject, "The mutual relation of Cross and Crown." The relation of cross and crown, Mr Lough stated, is the law of cause and effect. The cause is the cross, which he defined as suffer- ing for Christ's sake. It might some- times be confession of Christ, (never profession) physical, intellectual or spiritual suffering, or self-denial, in- cluding the giving up of self -ease, ex- travagance and all selfish habits, and self -surrender to the Master's service. He emphasized the need for Christians guarding against extravagance, declar- ing that a stingy Christian is as im- possible as a prayerless one. The crown—the effects, mentioned among others are confession by Christ before the Father, life, power, victory, and eternal weight of glory. THAT TREE. To the Editor of the Clinton New Era. DE4,a Sra,—In you last issue Citizen tells the tree committee that he made a great discovery, having found a dead tree on the streets; he does not say where. V►hy, the •smallest child could have told that when all the other trees had their leaves on. He has made a mistake in saying that we had cut down a green tree along side of it, or inferred so; we did not; it was a dead tree, and it had no leaves on it to guide ns, either. Was it not the committee that you desired to have a crack at, and not so much the tree? As regards the stumps, the men can cat them lower with their saw, when repairing the sidewalks, and the ground is dry to kneel on, not like when the ground is covered with enow and ice, when the tree were out down. There is an old saying that some people should not vee things half done. Yours, W. C. SIsaLE. NEWS NOTES Chatelle will hang on May 31. Dr Fred. Morden of Demoreetville, was found dead in his office.
