TASTE'S IM- PROPER UTTERANCES. he Toronto Globe comes to the res- t "The Master of the Administra- ' in the following unfortunate de: hen and where did Mr. Tarte say th e was a Frenchman before he was a, Briton ? We certainly have no knowledge that he made any. such statement. It would unquestionably o an improper utterances to come ' from a Minister of a Crown •in a Brit- ish Colony." _ Why not ask Mr. Tarte whether he Aho "unquestionably improper utterance" or not. He has been accus- ed of it a hundred times and has not denied it once. At the banquet to Mr. Iderbette, at be Windsor Hotel, Montreal, on Mon- y,S)ctober 7, Mr. Tette said : " I re - Int from France, where I received the are that French science can give and 1 eturn to Canada more French than ver. I am a•Minister in the British overnn3ent andI have the right to ay that 1 am French.' But I tell you his, if to declare myself a British sub- ject would prevent me being French, then I Would refuse to call myself a British subject. ' Vile make no threats, as the ballot box is Our best defence. We are happy and free under British insti utionerMit-Prance is always my iflFi!nrfntry." • Her Majesty's loyal Canadian sub- jects should feel deeply grateful to Mr. Tarte and his friends that they "make no threats," The fact that they rely upon the ballot box would also be com- ic) ting, but for recent developments t,ario, which seems to indicate ; that in the hands of the Liberal ma- chine even the ballot box has lite mo- ments of weakness. We do not believe that the frisky little statesman will withdraw one word of his declaration, ' which if it means anything at all, Means that he is only secondly a Brit' ton, and that his first allegiance is to his "dear country." Mr. Tarte does not say this kind of thing for fun, he says it for political effect, and the Her- bettejbanquet was not the only occa- elon upon which he has indulged in lan- guage of this kind, "We quite agree With the "Globe" that such utterances are unquestionablfy improper to mine from a Minister o the Crown in a Brit- ish Colony, If other MinIsters-of-th . Crown have not already called Mr. Torte's attention to the impropriety of esihis utterances, they are as much to blame as he is. As Mr. Tarte's gunge cannot well be reconciled with tdvvoul t his posit'? be to reconcile his posi- tion the right thing o o tion with is language, by dismissing kiln from the Government and permit- ting him to take a .position in which there would be no impropriety in him professing allegiance to any power he piety prefer. Under ordinary ciretuns stances Mr. Tarte's regrettable utter - talc& might be allowed to pass unnot- iced', but in view of the arobiguoue at- titude of the Government upon matters of Imperial concern, Mr. Tarte's un - British speeches acquire an importance 'that otherwise they would not possess. • The people of Canada, neither French- , epeaking nor English-speaking, have any sympathy with lukewarmness to- ards the Empire.—Montreal Stets .

Mr. Soaves Wilkinson and family, Elgin street, are contemplating re.. moving to Minneapolis. The concert given in North street Methodist °Imola under the auspices of Professor Simpson, organist, WKS one of the greatest events in a musical sense that was ever given there. Luther's grand hymn "Ci Mighty For - trees" was the opening double 'chorus, the first part of which was sung by the choir augmented by many men3bers from the local choirs and the second part bymore than 60 little girls, all i ar- rayed n white and arranged in the gallery. Really we admired their, chorus singing more than the choir, it was EIO sweet and inspiring. .The an- them "Unto Thee 0 God". was most appropriately rendered by the choir, fol evettnewhwh Miss Roblyn, one of • London's gifted sopranos, made her debut before a Goderich audience, who applauded her warmly on her appear. ance. Miss Roblyn has quite a fine ap- pearance and was dressed in apple green silk, with black lace effect on bodice and skirt. She sang, "I know' that my ktecleemer liveth," with clear ennunciation, but we liked her better in her after song, "May Morning," her voice pleasing more in armee style, Professor Simpson's organ solo, "Offer- 'toire," in F, followed in masterly style. Next on the program was the fine bari- tone solo, "The coming of the King,". well rendered by Mr. Skinner, .one of London's leading. baritones. Be sang "Little Jim" for an encore in very pathetic strains.. Mr. Barron of Lon- don, also a noted pianist, then kindly explained to the audience the different chords of, which, "The Fire -Music in Walkure," was composed, which amus- ed the audience, not being accustoined to notes explanatory. Mr. Barron is a dainty little artist, and played beau- tifully the different parts. The seventh number '"Hosanna," by Miss Eva Acheson, was a revelation. Never be- fore did we bear her sing so well. She received quite an ovation,hatreturned .the honor with a bow. A pretty duett followed next, given by Misses Roblyn and Acheson,with chorus by the choir. "Because 1 love you, dear," was ex- ceedingly well rendered by Miss Set - *wall Brown, who is fast tvinningfavor in musical circles. Next was a well - rendered duett by Miss Roblyn and Mr, Skinner. Professor Simpson opened tbe second part with= organ solos •Miss Ausebrootte's solo was "He that dwell- eth," and was sung•with f4reatdeptb of sour. Miss Ansebrooker has a very nice appearance as a. public singer. The violin 'solo "Hungarian idyll," was quite a gem, and Miss Laura Acheson made quite a pretty picture while play- ing, her arms and hands are so beauti- fully moulded and show to advantage, while she so deftly uses them on ber violin. For an encore, which wa.s well deserved, the skilful violinist gave "Some, Sweet Horne." Mr. Skinner followed with "The Haven Akin," and for encore a fittesthrilling sailor song. "The Magdalene" chorus opened with a quartette composed of Misses Brown and Franks, Messrs. Skinnet and Hen- derson. Both ladies sang meritorious- ly, but Mr. 'Gordon Henderson quite excelled himself in manner and voice. He has quite a pleasing tenor voice. Mr. Barron chose for his piano solo "The Dwarfs of Greiggs" not our band Master, by the way, but a Norwegian composer. Then receiving an encore he said he would play "A Cradle Song," and smilingly turning to the audience, added, "of tny • own." The composi- tion was very pretty. "The Bobolink." by Miss Eva Acheson was quite a gem. ."Let him be" delighted all. She Ap- peared to the encore and sang "A. Nightingale song," Duett, "Come to the Saviour," by .Miss tioblyn and Mr. Skinner, followed by the pretty kilo "Dorris" given very well by Miss Rob. Ism with violin obligato by Miss Laura Acheson Which was very effective. Miss Roblyn received a warm encore, which she answered with another solo. The finishing number was another double chorus of choir and children, "Unfold ytfrortals," the lovely anthem of Gounod in the Redemption. The program was long but showed great care and artistic merit. Professor Simpson's ability as a choir leader can, not be questioned. The Lyceum company presented Hamlet on Tuesday, Nov. 7th, to as large an audience as filled the Victoria Opera House on their two preceding presentations, "The Merchant of Venice" and "Othello." The Marine Band turned out and gave "Hamlet," quite an • ovation. Having ask literary gentleman and one • o hii seen Booth and all the great actors of the day, includingmany "Hamlets" i the m largest American cities, to give us his opinion of this latter day "Hamlet" we beg leave to subjoin the eriticiarn of the litterateur: The late performance of "Hamlet" by the Lyceum company both surprised and pleased me and I am an older theatre goer than even the best of English and American actors and actresses who have flourished within the lest half century. Of the really great Hamlets I have seen all, Booth the elder and younger, Macready, Charles Kean Fechter, Forrest, Valdenhoff, and sun- dry minor players, yet I aver that the Lyceum company's rendition of -the play a few nights since was as a whole eminently good and satisfactory. Each character was well sustained and - the Prince and Polonius Were specially good. Those who played Laertes and Ophelia, overdid their parts eornevehat and acted too much so to speak. The King and Queen were Very Intelligent- ly preeented and the grave yard' ecene. In spite of the drawbacks of bumf& merit, room and effective properties, was evatisfactory. The grave diggers were capital. It is doubtful I think Whether Shakespeare hitniself ever saW his play as well presented throughout. The tragedy, it le trite to eay, is et colonel work of art, unaPproachable save by himself, for truly none but hinirtelf could be his parallel.

The Squash which took the prize,at the World's Fair, 1893, was raised by Mr. Warnock, one of the directors of the Greet North-Western Fair here. .It weighed 865 pounds. The first' squash be raised was in 1890 and it weighed 2715 pounds. In 1898 he had 8 squashes.- - weighing each 086, 855 and 344. This year of '99 there was a falling off owing to the dry summer and the greatest weight attained this year was 286 ' pounds.
