W. Laurier seems to be the Wish lion just now. e Mail and Empire is very sorry ;''ti>'at Laurier represents Canada at the. is'�nhilee. Doubtless Sir Charles shares grief. ,The judges have decided that the ion election was not sufficiently lvglipt to warrant unseatingMr Beat- ieT Of course the public must accept iledecision, but it will take a great cal to convince the public th t the >e4 tion was not a most outranusly Brant cue, and that the sittinglnem- retains his seat in the rce of ?•!':evepts that were disgraceful, even rtliongb not considered to be legally 1)0 enough to unseat him. ;A'writer in the New York Indepen- ettt, of last week, asserts that Queen +*1Victoria has for years exercised a pow- et'fuI influence in the policies of foreign Countries, her private correspondence :and iersonal efforts with setzerl-.of ;the European monarchs, having pre - .vented wars that had been fully de - tided upon by the ministries of differ- `ent countries. If this he tree it bears out the line of thought expressed by iislas1 week, when we stated the jubi- lee woirlct have a far-reaching influ- ence on the peace of the nations. re' President McKinley is preparing a new Arbitration Treaty that he hopes to ratify between the States and Great Britain, and the better class of Ameri- .lan papers are urging him on, assert- , ing that the time has gone . by when "Nation shall war against nation." ;Some of our good friends who figura- tively "jumped cn" the New ERA for expressing similar sentiments, should note the fact that the world moves in the direction of peace. • The Canadian Wheelman says"there 'snare individual Senators that are agree- able gentlemen—some of them are able "legislators—but as a body the Senate Serves richly every derisive epithet that its detractors have huried at it !during the three decades of its exist- ,.ence. Many of its members are in the last stages of senile decrepitude; in fact eh members prepondel ate. As a leg- islating chamber it is out of harmony '-with the age. The method by which it 'is constituted, is bad. That a Senator- ship is -a life office is doubly bad. Bad -because it puts too much power into the hands of a clever man—we don't 'want legislators that are superior to popular opinion in Canada—bad also because it keeps men drawing salaries and obstructing the machinery of gov- ernment years after their brains and ' bodies have both become useless. These have always been our ideas—heretofore they were only gathered anlong range. They are stronger now for some days spent in the corridors and galleries of the Red Chamber that is allotted to the Senate Branch of Canada's Parliament. If we could only catch on kinescope some of the views of these octogen- =lane that we have had recently, and exhibit them to the taxpayers of this cdu12try, the question of the Senate or • no Sehaite would be settled in six anonths.' The Montreal Star's political record is not one that will inspire respect for its utterances and confidence in its ,motives, rather the contrary; but it probably gets near the core of a ques- tion soon to become a pressing one when it says: "We have not a dollar to waste in keeping up a political alms- house. The Senate is either a deliber- .. ative body, charged with high dutieb in respect to public legislation, and responsible with the Commons for every bill that passes; or it is a burden Tori the public treasury, afraud on the Canadian people, a delusive safeguard to the smaller provinces. There is no escaping the alternative. The Senate ought either to take itself and do its duty without either fear or favor, or it ought in common decency to vote for its own abolition." The Senate is a useless burden, a fraud on the people, .a.drag on the public treasury, and a legislative farce. It is more; It is a tool to corrupt politicians, and a political poorhouse. The few good men in it Are not enough to desodomize it. But it will not heed the Star's advise—per haps the advice was not intended to be beaded. It will neither do its work without fear or favor, nor vets for its Own abolition. The only hope for the Senate lies in the fact that in the nat- ural order of things a few years hence the Busy Harvester may make reform OrAbolitlon possible. The House and tht, Senate The only stir in political matters the past week has been a conflict betwen the Senate and the house of Commons. The former refused to sanction an agreement made by the (:loverntnent with the Drummond County Railway for the extension of the Intercolonial to Montreal for a term of 99 years. The argument of the government was that the Intercolomal. by starting "nowhere," failed to secure a proper amount of the carrying trade, and its extensiou was for the purpose of get- ting this, if possible. The Senate thought there was some crookedness somewhere, hence its action. The government then put sufficient supple. nrentary estirnates to the supply bill to provide for the expense for one year, arguing that it was only an experi- ment, and if it was not successful, would be dropped. The matter was threshed out in the House, and some of the Senators intimated that even the Supply bill would be thrown out until an investigation could be held. Matters began to look serious, but Sir McKenzie Bowels, on Tuesday, intima- ted that he would agree to the vote going through on the understanding that an investigation took place hext session, and prorogation therefore, took place on Tuesday night. There may not be the slightest irregularity in the government's action, but a the same time it is just as well that the Senate has called a halt. The country is willing to see everything done that will facilitate trade, but the govern- ment won't hurtitself by going a trifle slower. Now that cold storage is as- sured to shippers, the fast line of steamers is unnecessary, and the gov- ernment could just as well have saved the subsidy. Getting Back at Them The feature of Monday's proceedings in Parliament was Sir Mackenzie Bowell's repudiation of the Conservative leaders in , the Commons. He bad been accused, he said, of acting in concert with the Conser- vative leaders in the other House. The fact was that he had not exchanged words with any of them this session, except to bid good -day to Sir Charles Tupper. He acknowledged none of them as his leader, and this remark ',applied more particulary to the gentleman who now led in the house of Commons Having thus repudiated Mr Foster, Sir Mackenzie proceeded to state the fact that Conservatives might be in- volved in the alleged corruption in the Drummond, County railway was no reason why he should draw back. It would be better for the party and the country to get rid of them by exposure. All of this goes to prove the truth of the statement that Sir Mackenzie Bowell is disposed to take his revenge on the "nest of traitors" if he can do so. London Truth says:—"The colonial re- presentatives who are in London are spec- ially gratified at the kindness which is shown to them in every quarter. They are particularly pleased with the kindness which is extended to them by entire strangers, who, perceiving by their uni- forms that they belong to the colonial contingent, come up to them and offer to assist them in every way that they can. This is much to be praised." Some of the Conservative papers are manifesting a candor and frankness that is refreshing, as witness the fol- lowing from the Stratford Flerald:— "Recent changes of Government wroughtwrought by the popular vote possess great suggestiveness. It is quite pro- bable that, in the end the defeat of the Conservative Government at Ottawa and the provincial Government at Que- bec will be a good thing for the party as well as for the country. There was not wanting, indeed, symptoms among the late lamented Ministers at Ottawa of a notion that they owned the coun- tt y and were the masters instead of the people. Certainly they thought them- selves masters of their party and that the business of every Conservative was to do its poodle act. Now they are beginning to learn differentfy, and a short course in opposition will trim off those Uppish notions and tone them in- to real leaders again." Presen tation. The members of the Junior and Senior Leagues of Ontario St. Methodist church met last Monday evening and presented Rev Mr Ford with a Hebrew dictionary, and Mrs Ford a beautiful ring set syithopals, accompanied by the following addreeees:— DEAR Mn FORD,—It is with deep and un- utterable grief that we, the Junior and Senior Leagues of Ontario St. Methodist church, are brought face to face with the hour in which you part from us. The first day you came into our midst yon won, by your sterling qualities, the love and admir- ation of the young people of this church, and never from that day to this, have you said or done anything to forfeit the confi- dence we reposed in you. On the contrary as time passed by your noble qualities be- came more apparent, until today you oc- cupy a placein the estimation of the young people that very few could have attained. During your stay with us you have proved yourself a faithful minister of the Gospel, your sermons striking at the root of exist- ing evils, and especially those which are most prevalent, while we who have come in contact with you as a minister of the Gospel not only, but as a Christian man, have felt your influence for good, and been benefitted thereby, and we ask you to ac- cept this book as a slight token of our ap- preciation of your good work among us, and our beat wishes for your future happiness and prosperity. DEAR Mae FORD.—It is with sincere re- gret that we, the Juniorand Senior Leagues of Ontario St. ohurch, have learned that you art about to depart to a new field of labor, and that regret is not without reas- on. When you first came into our midst the Junior League lived only in imagina- tion, while the Senior League was about to become a thing of the past. But with an energy born of Christian love and charity you brought the Junior League oat of the region of imagination, and plaoed it in the realm of grand realities, while the dying embers of the Senior League were by you fanned into a flame, until to -day it ranks second to no league in the County, and its influence is fait throughout the length and breadth of the town not only, but the coun- ty also. Daring the two years of your so. jonrn with as yon have, apart from the support given to the League as a body, proved yourself to be a true friend to the young people individually, and we ask you. to accent this meals slighttoken of our ap preoiaticn of your goowork among tie, and our best wishes for your future happi- ness and prosperity. d . Both Mr and Mrs Ford made suitable replies, stating that they had endeavored to perform faithfully and punotnally the du- ties devolving upon them, and they hoped to be ever found ready and willing to res. *And to the demands the interests of the Master may require, The Volunteers. The following;partloulare concerning the 83rd Batt. who are patting in the annual drill, are taken from one of the London papers. The Thirty-third Battalion from Huron was the last to arrive at the camp grounds. The nine companies of the battalion (which is considerably the largest on the heights) made rather latestarts for London, meld consequently it was 9 o'olook at' night be- fore they marched into camp. The Brus• eels and Gerrie companies traveled by the C. P. R. to Clinton, where the six oompan- ies were waiting, and from Clinton to Lou- don, the battalion travelled on the Grand Trunk, the only stop between the two points being at Exeter, where a company was picked up. Every man was weary and worn by the time their destination was reached. The establishment of the battal- ion is 413, including the band, but only 350 are in camp, each company being ehorteev- eral mmen, and in some cases two lieutenants. The officers:— Commanding— Col. Wilson, Seaforth, Major Varooe, Carlow, and Major Wilson, Seaforth. Surgeon Holmes, Goderioh. Paymaster Jordan, Goderich. Quartermaster Beck, Goderioh. Number One Company, .Goderioh— Capt. Holmes, Lieut. Chisholm. Number Two Company, Wingham— Capt. Williams, Lieut. Kent, Number Three Company, Seaforth — Capt. Wilson, Lieut, Jackson. Number Four Company, Clinton— Capt. Combe, Lieut. Spooner. Number Five Company, Brussels— Capt. Hayes. Number Six Compeny, Exeter — Capt. C. Rentz, Lieut. Grigg. Numcer Seven Company, Goole rich town- ship—Capt. Shaw, Lieut. Forrester and McDonald Number Eight Company, Gorrie— Capt. Keane. Number Nine Company, Carlow— Capt. Young. Col. M. D. Dawson, the districrt paymas- ter, estimates that the two catnps will cost $34,000, and he has asked the Dominion Government to place that amount to his credit ,n the I3ank of Montreal here. The cost will likely,,exceed that figure, however. A Fond Farewell. Sunday afternoon was temperance day at the London West Methodist Sunday School and the service was held in the church. It being the last Sunday of Rev. B. Clement and family with the school, the officers and teachers took the opportunity of expressing their regret at parting with them. Mr W. Gibson, superintendent, called on the sec- retary, Mr R. Donaghy, to read the address, which was as follows: "To our revered pastor, Rev. B. Clement, and his estimable family, —Itis with feel- ings of the most sincere regret' and sorrow that we realize the near approach of your departure from our midst. During the past 4 years of your pastorage in London West you have endeared yourself to us by your zeal and faithfulness in performing the work suggested by your kind and sympathetic heart. You have gone forth to bind the broken spirit, to place the spiritual image of a God holy and just lot fore our eyes, and unsealed for us the holy Book of Life; and when such a friend leaves as— "For years beyond our The light he leaves behind him lies Upon the paths of men." "Your ministry has indeed been to us in• spiringand consoling. And it is not only yourself, sir, whose kindly sympathy and help we will miss, but each member of your familyhae been a help and an inspiration torus. We have a good many departments of work in our little church, and Mrs Clem- ent has been a worker 'in each and 'all—a bright, cheerful, active worker, whose place it wiil be hard to fill. Any congregation might feel favored by having such a minis- ter's wife, but we have been donbly blessed for we have also had Miss Freeman, and down deep in all our, hearts we are thank- ful for the gentle influence quietly exerted by Miss Freeman, Many a heart has been gladdened 13y a visit from her during the last four years. Then Mise Clement, with her gift of music, has given us many pleas- ant hours, and her work in the Sabbath School asteacher and pianist has been cheer folly given, and we appreciate it. Nor would we forget your boys, whose places in the sanctuary were always filled, and those whose deportment might well be set up as an example to all boys. We pray that the promise of their youth may be fulfilled in a brilliant and useful manhood. We tell you now, sir, that by and bye, when they have made their mark in the world in the pro- fessor's chair or halls of science we intend to point them out assome of our Weet Lon- don boys. In conclusion we would say that we could not ask better for you than that yon may make as many warm and appreo- iativ@fi•iends elsewhere as you have here, nor better for ourselves than that God will send us one who will ever lead us nearer to himself as you have done. Mr Clement replied; and said he was tak- en by surprise. He appreciated the senti- ments expressed in the address, and al- though he had not labored for them, he telt that during his four years' pastorage among them he tried to please no individual, but labored for the people's spiritual good. He said he wou'd always remember the Lon- don West congregation. NEWS NOTES. Mies Hopkirk, Toronto, was drowned in the bay on Monday, while boating, Mgr.

On Sunday Rev Father Therien, of Hull, preached a stirring sermon on politics at high mass. He was speak- ing to the St. Jean Baptiste Society, and said he felt very uneasy in not having some words of congratulation to address to the French-Carfadians this year. The reason is due, he said to the result of the federal and provin- cial elections, which show that the French Canadians have not followed the requests made by their bishops. The reverend preacher caused quite a sensation when Ire said that the French Canadians bad fallen away below in the esteem of the clergy. The French people were guilty, and they will be punished for what they have done. Faith is•disappearing and the future is very uncertain.. Cornwall has been overran with tramps this summer, and they seem to grow bolder every day. Chicken roost and garden rob- beries have been very numerous. and in many oases farmers' wives, whose husbands were working in the fields, were frightened into feeding the lazy "knights of the road." Last week a small army of "hoboes" were camped in a grove east of the town and near the G. T. R., and six empty lager kegs found in one spot show that they were not dying of thirst. One day they killed a well grown calf belonging to a far- mer and roasted it whole. After feasting on the "fatted calf," they sold its skin and bought more lager. On Thursday G.T.R. Detective Holman with the local officers, arrested seven tramps at the depot, and of these two were sent down for two months, and two others got one month each.
