Read the fol- lowing comments of his on the propos- al to have Mr Meredith enter Douiin- ion politics:- glutton "A number of influential Conservative papers are clamoring forCbief Jaetice Mere- dith to leeve the bench and oome to the as- istanoe of the Conee-.,'Vative Government at Ottawa. It is not only unkind but impro- per to bandy the name of Chief Justice Meredith from mouth to mouth and from newspaper to newspaper, as if he for a mo- ment would consent to leave the bench, to which he is an honor, in order to engage in the petty intrigues of a political struggle. Wry should he be suspected for an instant of a willingness to eecbauge the dignified and honorable position be occupies, for an opportunity to soil bin hands in the mud of Ottawa politics as they ate now constit- uted? If now he were to sacrifice his prin oiples as well as his robe to save the wretch- ed politioal lives of a few panderers, this province would have reason to rejoice over his eeit from the leadership of the Ontario Opposition and the judioiary as well. Moreover, it is proper to enquire, 'whom is he asked to help? Is it a brave band of patriotic? Much abused as the word patri- ot has become, to apply it to the majority of the members of the Ottawa Governme,it would be to makelthe staunchest Conserva- tive laugh. Weakness and self-seeking, pandering and procrastination have made the present Government an object of pity and contempt. The Ministry's absolute lack of principle has left the ship of state rudderless to drift with every wind and tide of circumstance. .Imagine Chief Jus- tine Meredith trusting his fortunes in a sinking ship manned by mutinous sailors, weighted down with barnacles, her sails ragged said dirty, her anchors broken and her hold full of bilge! Vie must imagine hien as having taken leave of his senses, if if we for a moment could think of him making such a fatal move. Chief Justine Meredith does not need to be told, nor do the people of this province need to be told, that the majority of the crew of this hulk have always had their cutlasses sharpened for him and that his throat would not be safe for a moment from the knives of a half a dozen of those who strut the quarter-deck in their tarnished tinsel and moth-eaten feathers. Even the cap- tain, poor Sir Mackenzie Bowel!, hardly dare snatch a wink of sleep unless peoteot- ed oy double look, and bolt, and bar from some of his own orew. I doubt if one or two or a half a dozen of the beat men in the Conservative party could to -day save the old Government tub from going to the bottom, and, furthermore, I fes ' quite per- tain that neither a half a dozen, nor two, nor one, can be found amongst our promin- ent, strong and reputable Conservatives *bo have no axes to grind, who would risk the effort or who really desire the wrecketo_ again roach port. The present outfit at Ot- tawa does not represent the opinions or im- pulses of any considerable body of electors in this province esoept the footsore heelers who are still hoping for a job. There are a number of able and reputable gentlemen in the Cabinet who are overshadowed ani overt swered by those in whom the electors have nQ confidence, but as it seems imposs- ible to get rid of the rubbish without firing the whole outfit, the Conservatives of On- tario will endure defeat with considerable equanimity rather than see the rubbish re- main." to go 00,9k t4 w ere dray ebPie roan,-- Mr and Mrs French have nq.envrable position,and the fact that they, are gaining the confidence of all t he in• Mates, ie evidence of their tact and ability.

Thanksgiving Day To -day is the day set apart by the Government as a National Thanksgiv- ing Day, which is a fitting expression of our recognition of God's goodness to us as a people. It is unfortunate and not altogether creditale, that so many people quite ignore the real in- tent of this day and Took upon it mere- ly as a holiday to be spent in amuse- ments of all kinds. Let us enjoy the day by all means, but let us also keep in mind the purpose for which it was instituted. There is 'no nation on earth that has greater cause for gen- uine gratitude for many blessings it 'injoys than have the people of Can- ada. We have a land remarkably rich in all kinds. of resources. Our rivers, our mountains, our fields and our for- ests are stored with untold wealth, and in every part of the Dominion nature's choicest gifts have been showered up- on us with lavish hands, and withal we possess a climate of unsurpassed salubrity; ' while we have enjoyed al- most complete immunity from the great dillands. Thenters ich have visited so for all these bless- ings Ings let ns be truly thankful. We e are,tgreater be bettter eater n ospe ityewo rid not huan rt are, g ' musore crless edittlic able tons asia people,would but generally speaking the people of Can- ada have abundant reason for gratitude to Providence.

RESOLUTION or COYDOSENCE - At a regu- lar meeting of the board of directors of the McKillop Mutual Fire Insurance Company, held on Friday, October 25th, 1895, the following resolutions of condolence were adopted in memory of the late president, Donald Ross, who departed from this life on October 7th, 1895: "Whereas the Supreme Ruler of the universe in his inscrutable wis- dom, has seen fit to remove from our miast ,by death, our well beloved president, D. Roes, who was a zealous member of our company for the past fourteen years, and president for four years, the duties of which position he diecbarged with a courtesy most agreeable to his follow directors, and a fidelity inspired by a consoientioas desire to advance the interests of the company in every legitimate way, t1 erefore be it re- solved that we keenly realise our loss, and we do at this time tender to the bereaved mother and orphans of the deceased our succor and heartfelt sympathy, in this, their sad bereavement. Resolved further, that while we bow in humble submission of our own mortality, we pray God to eanoti- fy tnis visitation to oar own spiritual good, and that as a token of respect to the mem- ory of the deceased, these reslutions be en- tered in the booke of thie oompany, and a copy hereof be presented to the aged moth- er and orphans of the deceased."

E, Wa'neh Last Friday evening, Rev Dr Shaw, Assistant Missionary Secretary of the Methodist Church, when riding a bi- cycle on Yonge street, Toronto, was struck by a trolley car and thrown down. He was knocked senseless by the blew. The doctors found that his injuries consisted of a scalp wound on the back of his head, but that they were fortunately not sufficiently seri- ous to cause alartn. As Dr. Shaw is upwar ds of 65 years of age, his friends are anxious lest his injury may have results other than the doctors antici- pate. [The Dr• is an old Huroniou, and his friends hope that no serious results may follow the accident.] The annual National Social, held un- der the auspices of the Young Ladies' Mission in the lecture room of Willie clurch', on Thursday, Nov. 14, was largely attended. The urogram consisted of a song by Fred Gilroy, a reading from "Beside the Bonny Brier Bush," by Mr Jas. Scott, a reading by Mr R. Jeckel, Exeter, and a solo by Mrs Hoover. Refreshments wereserv- ed, and after half an hour of social in- tercourse, the second part of the pro- gram was commenced by a song by Mise Mabel Bell; then followed a read- ing by Mise J. Wilson, a solo by Miss Elva Adams, a chorus by six boys, trained by Miss McWbinnie, and a song, introducing the bag -pipes, by Miss McWhinnie. The proceeds were large. NEWS NOTES J. A.

Nominations of officers for the ensuing year. 8. The Sabbath services at the House of Retuge. As to No. 1, the subjects chosen were. (a) A Christi- an's relation to the Sabbath. (b) Christ's methods in Personal work. The former was allotted to Holmes• ville, and the latter given to Trirner'e. Officers were then nominated and the third item reluctantly left over to the more responsible parties for further discussion.
