True, no English-speaking • person' was pres- ent to be proved by the appeal, and no reporter wife present to record the ap- peal, and no telegraph office was nigh to communicate the appeal, and the chances were a h.ttndrecl to one that the English-speaking people of Upper Canada would never have known that they had been appealed to.

But for an incidental editorial reference in this French paper we would probably never have known how strongly Mr. Laurier feels on the Manitoba ques- tion, for he grew "eloquent and warm" in appealing to our Christian senti- ments. We can almost see the tine passion of his face as he glows with his theme, appealing in the presence of Catholics to a host of supposititious Protestants (the telegraph wires, if any, cut, the press excluded, scru- tineers un every side road to challenge strangers) ; we can almost hear the rare pleading of his tone and the sil- very tinkle of his words as they fall in free coinage from his lips.

The St. John Telegraph says Powell got the 'solid French vote in Shediac,' which, if true, would not nearly account for his majority."

He has at last, apparently, declared himself against Greenway, the Globe and many Ontario Liberals. In fact he declares himself as a party leader, not merely as a member of parliament. It will now be the duty of the Grits and the Globe who have been calling so loudly for Hon. Mr. Wallace to resign because be does not agree with all his colleagues on this i question, to call for the resignation of French Mr. Laurier as leader of the Liberals. The despatch is dated Grand River, Que., August 24, and appeared in the dailies of last Tuesday (27th) as follows :- "The Liberals of Gaspe county, numbering four or five hundred men, women and children, gathered at Grand River to hear Mr. Laurier's great pro- nunciamento of Saturday last. He told them that if he were Prime Minis- ter he would make it his business to remove the duty on pork and flour, to help the Americans along, even at the cost of sacrificing Western Canadian trade. He and Mr. Dalton McCarthy 'blamed the Government for not set- tling the Manitoba school difficulty. "An elector, one Dr. Ennis, having asked leave to put a question, wanted to know if Mr. Laurier desired a settle- ment of the gnestion on the Greenway non-intervention lines, or according to the Quebec Catholic view. He also asked if Mr. Laurier would support .Sir Mackenzie Howell's action, should he settle the matter according to the Manitoba minority. "The leader of the Liberal party an- swered that bis views as leader of the party were not represented in the matter by Mr. Martin, of Manitoba, and that he would support the Govern- ment's policy if favorable to the Catho- lic minority. He spoke thus as a party leader, and not merely as the member for Quebec East." Commenting on the unstatesmanlike dunib attitude of Mr. Laurier and the above, "Mack" in Toronto Saturday Night says : "But now he has broken that silence, we are told. He has developed an opinion. He has spoken. So sudden and complete a conversion has notbeen seen since conviction met and over- • Lieut, -Gov, Patterson, West Huron's . Member Sworn In. Ana Now On His Way To Manitoba At ten o'clock on Monday morning the Hon. J. C. Patterson, M. P. for West Huron, was sworn in as Lieut. Governor of Manitoba and is now on his way to Winnipeg. The appointment is adistinction well earned by the hon. gentleman and will rneet with the hearty approval of the Canadian people. For West Huron the appointment means in ail likelihood another election before the present parliament expires. It"will now he in order for the Con- servatives of West Huron to be up acid doing. No doubt ere long a Riding Convention will be called and a candi- date placed in the field. PARLIAMENTARY POSSIBILITIES. Farmers' Institute. To the Editor of The News -Record. I have made arrangements with H. J. Hill, Director of the Toronto Indus- trial- Exhibition, to temporarily move my office from the College building, to the Fair Grounds, Toronto. I will occupy from Sept. 2nd to 14th, inclus- ive, a large tent situated East of the cattle ring, and just between and in front of the horse and cattle sheds. • J. W. Wheaton, B. A., Secretary of the Western Dairyman's Association, will occupy an office in this tent during the second week of the show. One or more of the staff of the Ontario Agricul- tural Callege will be present during the greater part of the time. Officers and membert'ss of all Farmers' Institutes, of live stcrcdk, dairy, poultry, fruit grow- ers', and kindred associations, are cor- dially invited to make this tent their headquarters during the time of the exhibition. I will be in attendance in aforesaid tent from 8 a. m. to 4 p. m., each day of the show, and will be pleas- ed to meet Institute officers and mem- bers, also members of other kindred associations, to discuss with them the best means to advance the work of the Farmers' Institute in their respective districts. You are respectfully invited to call on me ; I desire your hearty and active co-operation in advancing this important work. During the second week of the show the following meetings will be held in the aforesaid tent :- SHEEP BREEDERS CONVENE. On Tuesday, Sept. 10th, at 1 p. the officers and directors of the Domin- ion Sheep Breeders' Association will convene to consider the report of the ' onunittee appointed at the last meet- ing of the associations to consolidate the by-laws aid re draw the constitu- tion of each association. Al 2.30 p. the members of this association will meet to consider the report of the officers and directors on said constitu- tion and by-laws ; and to re -consider their action at the last meeting in ap- pointing delegates to meet the Honor- able Minister of Agriculture to consider the record question. The Minister in- forms me that but two delegates are required from each association. At our last meeting we elected seven, therefore, a new election must be held. SWINE BREEDERS CONVENE. On Tuesday, Sept. 10th, at 7 p. nr., the officers and Directors of the Domin- ion Swine,, Breeders' Association will convene to consider a similiar report; and at 8 p. m., the members of this association will convene to re-elect a record committee to meet the Minister as in the case of the Dominion Sheep Breeders' Association ; and to consider the report of the officers and directors regarding the revision of the constitu- tion and by-laws. CATTLE BREEDERS CONVENE. Wednesday, Sept. 11th, at 7 p. m., the members of the Dominion Cattle Breeders' Association will convene to fthe committee ap- Parliament ,is to be called together not later than the 2nd of January next, and the question which has already been raised is how long can it legally sit. The answer to this does not, in the opinion of those who have been questioned, admit of much doubt. Under the constitution, Parliament is elected for five years, beginning from the date of the return of the writs of the previous election. It may, if the Government so determine, he dissolved sooner, but its life is fixed at five years and "no longer." The date fixed at the last election for the return of the bulk of the writs was April 25th, 1891. So that it would appear that the limit of the life of the piesent Parliament is April 25th, 1896. The Liberals in On- tario have contended that the Pro- vii►cial Legislature does not expire un- til four years from the date of the return of the last writ. As the return from Algoma is always considerably later than those from'themore accessible districts, this straining cf the constitu- tion has, on one occasion at least, been turned to profitable account by the Local Government. Thus the third Legislature of Ontario was continued from Dec. 23rd, 1874, to April 25th, 1879, three or four months beyond what appeared to be the legal limit. ' If this line of argument were adopted and nothing is more unlikely, the seventh Parliament of Canada might elairn legal existence Until June drd, 1896, since that was the date of the return of the last writ, the writ for Algoma. But laying aside that as out of the ques- tion it would appear that a session be- ginning on the 2nd of January would have nearly four months in which to transact its business, a period which, in the absence of obstruction, should be ample. Concerning the election which must follow, the only direction given by the constitution is that a session of Parliament must be held within one year of the diose of preceding session,' so that the people might he consulted in the fall of 1896, or the spring of 1897, provided it is done at such time that the new Parliament may meet within the year of the prorogation of the preceding session. consider the repor pointed to draft a new constitution and by-laws. 1 interested parties are invited totend these meetings,wl t to of an le her'memb association ui• not. F. W. HODSON, Superintendent of Farmers' Institutes and Secretary of Associations. Quebec. To the Editor. DEAR SIR,-Quehec may well be called the "ancient" capital -for with the exception of some new buildings lately erected, or in progress of erection, such as the Frontenac Hotel and the new City Hall, everything bears the appearance of antiquity. What is called the "Lower Town" is nearly on a level with the mighty St. Lawrence, whose clear, blue waters rush rapidly along through the somewhat narrow gorge separating Point Levis on the South from Quebec on the North. To ascend into the upper and principal part of the city one bas to climb num- erous flights of iron stairs, very fatigu- ing to strangers, or else by a speedy short cut to take the elevator leading up the vast precipice, on which stands the Frontenac Hotel, overlooking the lower town, the river, and Point Levis opposite. This for a return ticket costs only .five cents. When once on the top of the plateau, you have a com- manding view not only of the city but also of the surrounding country for miles. From this lofty elevation you survey the several depots or statidns of the Grand Trunk, Canadian Pacific, and Intercolonial Railways ; also the beauti- ful islandof Orleans, in theinouth of the harbor, but which extends 21 miles in length Eastward, and consists of six parishes, each the station of a French chapel and a resident priest. You also from the same point obtain a clear view of Beauport, a fertile territory of highlycultivated land, thickly settled by a frming community. To the East Mr. Jacob Wilcox of St.. Thomas, Ontario, is one of the best known men in that vicinity. He is pow, he says, an old man, br4 Hood's Sarsaparilla has made him feel young again. "About a year ago I had a very severe attack of the grip, which resulted in my not having a well day for several months afterwards. I was completely run down and my systonr was in a Terrible Condition. I lost flesh and became depressed in spirits. Finally a friend who had been benefited by Hood's Sarsaparilla advised me to try it and I did so. I continued tak- ing it until I used twelve bottles and today 1 can honestly say flood's Sarsa- parilla had restored me to my former health." JACOB WILCOX, St. Thomas, Ontario.

GILROY & WISEMAN. of that and only seven miles from the city you see the famous Montmorenci Falls, said to be from 50 to 60 feet high- er than the falls of Niagara, but not nearly so capacious or wide. There are so many objects of interest to a strang- er, and so many old historic associa- tions connected. %with the ancient capital of Canada, that it would require a lengthy letter to describe them all. Suffice to say that Dufferin terrace, the citadel, the plains of Abraham, on which was fought the great battle that gave Britain possession of Canada from the hands of the French, the Alartello tower, the Basilica or R. C. cathedral, the English' cathedral, Laval Univer- sity, &c., are all worthy of inspection and interest. Nothing is more refresh- ing to a tourist in "doing the city" than to seat oneself for an hour in one of those lovely parks which furnish lungs to the city and a place of calm repose to the traveller or the laborer weary for rest. One of these is the "Gover- nor's Garden," a delightful park, with walks, fountains and flower beds of all descriptions, within which, near the front and overlooking the river and Point Levis is the tall marble monu- ment erected just 70 years ago, in the tiine of the late Earl Dalhousie, a form- er Governor, in memory of the two distinguishedenerals who fought for the position of Canada, viz„ Wolf and Montcalm. Over the ashes of these two heroes, British and French, there is (as it should be) a fitting monumental tablet telling of their valor and virtues, and a becoming tribute to that univer- sal brotherhood which ought to ani- mate friend and foe and every race and creed that must one day be all con- signed to a common grave. In passing through the city, where I sojourned fur a day or two on my way West, 1 observed hordes of tourists and visitors, many of them Americans, „who had come over by rail and boat to see the sights and obtain a betteracquaintance with their more Northerly cousins. Indeed such was the throng that it was with some difficulty accommodation could he procured tor them in hotels and in private boarding houses. The Frontenac hotel, lately built by the C. P. R. Company, a magnificent struc- ture, said to he one of the lineation this Continent, and capable of accoffi mod at- ing nearly 1,000 guests was full -to over- flowing. So were many other hotels and boarding houses. It was a rich harvest for the cabmen, whose num- bers are legion, planted at every public square or corner of the city. To a stranger nothing seems more odd than the vehicle called the "Cateche," used by the French cabmen, a two wheeled sort of gig, very high up and rather awkward looking, arranged to convey twopassen ers, and what with the con- tinuous jolting or horse motion and the break neck speed at which the poor animals are driven up and down those steep hills, one has the presentiment of being dashed out, and yet few tourist, s there are who do not for diversion avail themselves of this means of loco- motion in seeing the sights in and around the city. To visit Quebec is like visiting some old world city of the past centuries -streets narrow and xvinding, antique structures of stone, quaint looking tenements which one would almost fincy were inhabited by ghosts or goblins, tier above tier of old fashionedbuildings looking down into the chimney tops of those in the "lower town" -such is the melee presented to a stranger visiting the ancient capital for the first time. And yet with all that quaintness, there was ample evidence that the good people of Que- bec dwell together as brethren, in unity and good -will, on the principle of "Live and let live." Why should it not always be so ? H. D. S. Aug, 1895. The Ancient Foresters. DR.

There were 137 delegates present at the biennial session of the subsidiary High Court at Guelph last week. The report of the high chief ranger said that •nine juvenile branches had been instituted since last court, and rapid increase had been made in that branch. He recommended that the Companions of the Forest come under the government of the high tour t, and that a graduated scale of sick benefits be drawn up. therefor.

The work of the laws and judiciary committee had been largely increased during the term by revising by-laws of suborbinate courts. Ott his visits west he had been most heartily received, and he had been de- lighted to see the warm fraternal feel- ing that existed throughout the order. He gave a review of the sixteen decis- ions which he had made on appealed points during his term of office. The following suggestions were also made : Let all courts have the same scale of contributions ; let there be one design and color of regalia ; make some pro- vision whereby the several courts in each district can fraternally visit each one once a year ; that the incoming ex- ecutive council take the necessary steps to procure Dominion incorporation of the Ancient Order of Foresters. The report of W. Williams, the per- maneut secretory, showed asset, July 31, 1893, $35,864.98; June 30, 1895, $47,920.40 ; liabilities, July 31. 1893, $2,027.10 ; June 30, 1895, $1,663.15 ; in- crease of assets, $12,055.42. He recommended a revised scale of inonthly contributions to beneficiary fund, and would like to introduce a class of insurance embodying paid-up policies and division of the profits (if any) of the expense rate. Two-thirds of the courts have taken out bonds for officers. Mr. Williams had visited several courts, straightened out their finances, and afforded them temporary aid. The financial returns were im- proving, hut still should come more promptly, to enable the secretary to make returns to the government. Some courts were running too close to the minimum rate for sick benefits, and he urged an increase and uniform rate for sick benefits, apportioned as .to age. Among the District Chief Rangers appointed were E. W. Watts, Clinton, for Huron; and A. J. Mitchell, of Mit- chell, for Perth. Number of courts June 30, 1895, 137 ; number of mein ers June 30, 1895, 12,- 499 ; number of juvenile branches June 30, 1895, 49 ; number of juvenile mem- bers Jnne30, 1895, 2,590.
