—Almost before we realize it, we
are at mid -summer. 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.

—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,

Horses For The West.
horse buyers are plentiful and those
who have good animals for sale have
no trouble getting handsome prices
for them. Several buyers from the
West are in this vicinity, Jas, Robin-
son of Whitewater, Alan., is buying
up a car of horses; Mr. Hartley of
Winnipeg and Mr. Elder of Brandon
are each making up a car, and John
Johnston of Bluevale is also shipping
a carload West.
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. This game will be
worth seeing, and it is billed to begin
on time, 4.15. The Band will be in at-
tendance and a good all-round time is
expected. Admiesion 25c and • 15c.

Clinton's Celebration.
The semi-annual meeting of, the
South Huron Orangemen was held
at Clinton on the lith. There was a
good representative attendance, and
considerable routine business was dis-
posed of. The various phases of the
coming 12th of July at Clinton were
dealt with, and everything points to a
most successful gathering, and county
secretary Peter Cantelon made an
excellent progress report. South
Perth met the same day, 'and a
telephone conversation with the lead-
ers there was re -assuring of their
presence at, Clinton on the 13th. South
Duron, of course, is solid, And there
will at least be a strong representation
from North Baron and West Bruce,
so that a good gathering, with fine
weather, is assured. There will be
many bands of music, competitive
events in several classes, and a good
program generally. At the meeting
at Clinton P. C. M. Todd gave a brief
account of the British America meet-
ing at Peterborough, and timely ad-
dresses were given by Bro. Hartley, of
the Clinton Collegiate, and the Rev,
Bro. Dunbar, both of whom are valued
active members of the association.

Unfortunate Accident.
An expensive accident took place
at Lepard's Hotel stables on Tuesday
evening, when Mr. Jno. Sanborn's
stock horse, "Maitland," broke one of
its hind legs. The horse was a good
one, and will be a heavy lose to his
owner. It is undecided as yet what
will be done with the animal, but on
account of the break being in the
fleshy part of the leg, it is doubtful if
the life can be saved.
