Our readers have already seen refer- ences to the speech delivered by Sir Wilfrid Laurier, on Tuesday, in reply Lo that of Nr Bourassii, one of his own supporters, and a personal friend. Many able speeches have been given within the walls- of Parliament, but old parliamentarians ' say that for masterly eloquence few, if any, have approached that of Mr Laurier. To read it is one thing --,to hear it deliy'er- ed is quite another, and members on I both sides vilere fairly electrified by its "impassioned periods. When, in replyto Mr Bourassa's , assertion that the action of Canada, in sending the contingent to South frica would be taken as a precedent for future action, Sir Wilfrid said tha If It. should be the will of the people of Cana , at any future period, to take part in any wa et England, the people will have to have the he expr sed a sentimentlhat was re. echoed b almost every member, and was •appla ded to the echo. . To show how Sir W frid'e speech was appreci- ated, we can ot do better than 'quote some corn rue s therein.

If such shall he the re- sult, if we can indulge that hope, if we can be- lieve that in that grave shall be burled con- tentions, the sending of the contingent would be thegreateet service ever rendered to Canada since) Confederation," The Ottawa Journal, Independent Conservative, says :- _ "Sir Wilfrid Laurier sat down in half an hour after delivering what in the general esti- mation was one of the moat eloquent speeches °this life.

During the, thirty minutes the Prime Minister was on his feet, . the applause was almost constant. The galler- ies were crowded, and at times could hardly wait till the end. of a period before the uncon- trollable -applause broke out." . The London, England, Times, whose Ottawa- eorresponAent -is • - the -Mail-- Empire reporter in the gallery, said :- "The speech would rank high in any assembly as a model of noble eloquence, but it is not its eloquencewhich will make it live in the annals of the Empire. He has expreesed Mere faith- fuliy and more truly than any other statesman who has yet.spoken, the temper of thenew Im- perial patriotism fostered into selt-conscious- nese by the war. We look forward: to a day, not distant in the life of nations, when a Boer premier of the Soitth African dominion shall kindle with a like devotion to the British The London morning Post sa.ye "Ear 'Wilfrid Laurier speke for Canada in words of impassionate and splendid eloquence."

No • wonder the Liberals are proud of their leader, and the more intimately he is known, he commands the greatest ,possible admiration and respect. , 411.01110+1141414110410110010•410060111110011411••••••••••••••••••••••••• 3 .

WEST HURON ELECTION CASE, • The Opposition in the Honse and the ' Oppositioe papers have devoted a good - deal of attention to the West Huron election case this session, hut not a sol- itary one in either class. is honest enough to give the actual facts. Al- ready two very heated debates have taken place in the House. It is con- tended that the Government is trying to prevent further inquiry intO this 'case, siinpla because the Government is requiring Mr Borden to follow the regular rules of the House; rules which have been in force for years. Last year the matter was allowed to go be. fore the committee as a matter of "privilege;" being unfinished, the case this year is not a matter of "privilege" 'and cannot be so regarded, though tbo ' Opposition ask it. The Government s0 er paper, the same as all other reg- ular said "You mrist pnt it on the business." This is strictly parlia- mentary and the Opposition know it; they know it has no right to come up except1n the proper Order, but this is what made them mad, hence their violent speeches. It happens that on the "order" paper are a number of de- batable questions before the West Hu- ron order is reached. The "orders"are not Government ones -in fact most of them are private members' orders, and' is requiring that West Huron go on the order paper, the • Government is simply following out the practise that has been pursued for years. It is not "burking" inquiry; it is simply doing what any Government would do under the same circumstances, and if tbe Op- position were holiest they would 'stay so,but that would not answer their ob- ject. Their talk is for election pur-- poses, pure and simple, but they may talk until they are black in the feces they may "pavs-and claw the . airnas much as they like,,ftsaafil not. al- ter the fact that the Government's po- sition is correct. The anger 9f the Op- position is make-believe; 'heir profes- sions of purity are hypocritical, and their heroics don't amount to a laill of. beans. The' order concerning West Huron will, no doubt, eventually be reached, but there's a right Ana a Wrong way of reaching it. • ' NOTES.

THE SCoTcat CoaroEur.--This extra was fairly well attended, on Tuesday everthig, and it was something good and out of the ordinary, it being a Scotch concert consisting of songs and dances, from the "auld land o' the heather." As an old Scotchroan would say, "Ay ! mon, it was guid." Mrs Spence and Miss Laing were attired in full Scotch costume, most attractively. It would require lots of space to de. scribe the interesting things Mr Spence told about Old Scotia and its folks ; his humorous stories convulsed the audience,...and his pathetic words brought tears to many. eyes. The duets were well given, and greeted with applause. "Bonnie Annie Laurie," "Jessie's Dream," and the others delighted the hearers. It is customary to close all Scotch enter- tainments by singing "Auld Lang Syne," and. this was the; way Mr Spence closed -one of the finest, most refined and most pleasing entertain- ments given by the committee of the Star Course. The management are desirous of ' thanking their many friends from Stanley and Porter's Hill who patronized the concert by their attendance. The next and last on the course will be the best of all -the Ladies' Sympli-Ony-sprchestra, of Boston, of 22 members, and a boy soprano -on Easter elonday, April 16th. AonnuorATiarK-A gathering of the Y. P. S. of C. E. through the Execut- ive of the Local Union, to-gether with the ministers and t heir wives.- was held Tuesday'evening, March 20th, in the :lecture room of the Rattenbury St. Methodist church, Clinton. The main object of the meet inz was to pro- mote interdenouuina,itillal „fellowship and discuss plans for a more united effort on the part of the young people of the town and district against the strongholds of .• His Satanic Majesty. Tea was served' at seven o'cloek by the social 'committee of the Rattenbury St, E. L. of a E. after which an informal conference was -held. -Mr-A.- T. Conper,-provincial settetatv Of en- deavor, took charge and guided the discussions in a very happy manner. The following are a few of the topics discussed "What- are we doing as Christian Endeavor Societies?" "In- terdenominational fellowship" "Local Union Rallies," etc. etc. No restraint whatever was felt by those present and the discussions were entered into in a most animated and helpful manner. Something good was received from each society and all were benefited by the experience of the other. It was felt by all present that if there was any one thing given prominence in our O., E. meetings it should be a systi- matic plan of Bibte Study, far too little time is devoted to this important mat- ter. Some of the societies reported as taking up the church catechism every night with good results. Nearly all were progressing favorably in the missionary department and Were fav- orably impressed with a plan for ere tematic giving to missions, from which good results Were sure to follow, As all the young peoples societies of the town hold their regular meetings on Monday evenings the following reso- lution WAS unamiously adopted : "that whereas in the Opinion of the exe-, calve of the local union of Y. P. S, of C. E. of the town of Clinton, con- certs and gatherings of a limier nat. ure held 9n Monday or Wednesday evenings haves distracting effect upon the attendance of the midweeksentices of the town churches, such gatherings Will not be recognized by Weinberg Of the local union." The presidents of varitnis societies in the union Were Ur- ged to present the' above ro•tilution the next regular meeting ot their so- ciety in'as forcible a manner as pos- eible. lprogram of intervisi a t ion of societies was recommended to be pre- pared by the presidents of the differ- ent societies. The union has also adopted the uniform topics as arrang- ed by' Dr. Clark The next regular ineeting of the Rally, which will be hold in Willie chiit'eh on April 30th, Will be of a patriotie nature,. the sub- ject being "Out Country", A reaolu. tion Of thanke Wag tendered the Social comtnittee of Rettenbury St. E. L. of 0. E. for the very aceepteible manner in which they had provided the enter- tainment of the eVening.
