The late spring has perhaps deceived us, but next Afonday, June 21st, the days are at their longest. The Canadian summer is short at best, but a late spring makes it shorter still. $owevor, the summer is here, nature has put on her beautiful garments of green, Pre. vidence is kinder to us than we de- serve, and in spite Of our grumbling, there may yet be good returns for the labor of the farmer, There are indi- cations that the financial depression is passing, and optimism is abroad in the land. Let us contribute our share, *4* —Senator Campbell (formerly known as "Archie Campbell") spoke rather plainly recently regarding that un- savory_ public work, the Newmarket Canal, jokingly known as the "Ayles- worth ditch." He intimated that the Government never should have begun the work, and there are indications that they are getting tired of the use- less expenditure. There never was any real need for the canal, and when completed it will be of little practical value. It has been made public, that land along the' canal was purchased by the Government (just before the election) at over $100 per acre. Alto- getber $300,000 has been spent on the "ditch," which if it is ever completed, will be a lasting evidence of a Govern- ment's foolishness, All governments make mistakes, and the Newmarket canal is a costly one, that brings no credit either to those Liberals and Conservatives that asked for it, or the Government that unwisely granted the request. * n * —Express rates were in review be- fore the Railway Commission last week, and the fact was developed than the annual earnings are equal to the gross value of the property engaged in the servi,;e, so that their earnings are one hundred per cent. of the money invested. •We have frequently said that the Express Companies are one of the worst (if not the biggest) ma.. nopolies we Canadians are afflicted with. Now that the tremendous pro- fits have been made public, it is hoped that the Railway Commission will or- der reduced rates, so that a long-suf. fering public may have some measure of relief. It has long been surmised' that the railway companies are very closely identified with the Express companies. It was shown at the in- vestigation, that while the net earn- ings of a passenger car per year were $10,428, the earnings of an express car were more than double, or $21,400. No wonder the public groan under ex• orbitant rates, when they are forced to contribute towards the annual earn- ings !i of 100 per cent. yearly on the Companies' investment, The Railway Commission will prove itself a bene- faction to the shipping public, if it orders a reduction of rates. A very disagreeable feature of the situation is the fact that the companies are united In their efforts to squeeze the public, ..es there is not the slightest pretence of competition, so far as rates are concerned. * + * —The proposal for Church Union has been before the public for some time, and judging from appearances, it is far from practical acepinplish- ment. Evidently the time is yet°tiis- tapt whep even the leading Chgrches • Will see eye to eye on doctrinal points, That some of them are willing to yield, is to their credit,-prgvided that essen- tials are not surrendered. At the Genera' Assembly of the Presbyterian Church last week, there was decided opposition, but the proposal for union was favored by a vote of 140 to 42, and go we presume it will be presented to e congregations for theire- r approval or 4" disapproval. One speaker said --"1'm in favor of -onion beeatose it will give us a opportunity to ev se of r creeds n revise our to do away with the barnacles and cobwebs which have surrounded them." The editor of this paper is of the opinion that "barnacles and cob- webs" have surrounded some of the. creeds, and a creed "house-cleaning" might do good. In some cases, creeds Were formed for us many years before we were born, and Truth is now better known, and perhaps more calmly con- sidered, than in the ages of the past. While there are essentials that we 'never must surrender, new truths are coming to light, and it does seem to the writer that these should influence our beliefs. As a, matter of fact, they - do. Sometimes our creeds and our actual beliefs do not coincide at every point. Hence revision might not be out of piece, in some cases at least, BUTT is s xn ROOS.— Bring along ..'I your produce.

Going To Get Even. A few weeks ago the Harriston Browns were unkind enough to ad- minister a severe trimming to our "Found, y Nine," and this same "Foundry Nine" are going to get even on Friday afternoon, if playing good ball will do it.
