TOO MUCH SIIIPL1CITV. The Evening News of Toronto remarkes that "Never has a minister of public works been so mueh clis trusted as Mr. Tarte." Perhaps the News will permit us to add that had certain' Tory ministers in that depart- ment been trusted a little less then, the country might be better off now. There is such a thing as too much trust in party politics, and during the decade preceding the year 1895, the country in general and the Tory party in particular, found that out. At the cline of that year the section of the party which remained honest might very well have hung up over their mantelpieces the familiar motto, "13y Trust, 11'e Bust." ; <i _ `•';; WEST HURON LIBERALS.

TII.1'I' I1IST ORICA L S1'13*11)V,a` Without wishing to discourage the proposed subsidy for Prof. I.ingsford's Canadian History we would respectfully enquire : "Is it a good and true history?" It is pretty safe to say that few members of parliament have read it; and as for the signers of Mr. Kingsford's petition it is probable that most of them would be unable to tell any historical fact from a fourteenth century fairy tale. Under these circumstances it might be well to submit the history to a committee of experts who would be willing to act without pay. If these gentlemen should report it to be fairly good history, then the Government would be fairly justified in giving Mr. Kingsford the assist- ance he asks. Can the "Powerful American Feel- ing" in Sudbury be due to the fact that Uncle Sam's warships are arm- moured with niekle steel 9 We trust Biot. The able editor of the Toronto World who describes a green lawn spangled with dandelions as "an eyesore," should take a course of lessons from the art critic. Now that Sir Charles has denied having promised, " as Premier," to buy. the Drummond road, it would be interesting to know in just what capacity he was acting when the promise was made. With Italian taxes at -13 per cent. on land rents, and 13 per cent. on !House rents, and 13 per cent. on all ?yearly incomes over $120, the only .avonder is that revolution has not broken out long ago. If American bad manners have caused the war with Spain, as is Mated in " The Nation," it might pay cur neighbors to establish a ruttier -al university, for the study of etiquette. If Prof. Kingsford's publishers had pert a little more money in adver- tising the first two volumes of his Canadian history, he would not now be ccm,,elled to beg pubis, assist - trance in floating the last. This is a Iesscn which a good many business snen might take to heart. Lie certain American gentlemen are decimating their millions for torpedo boats and -batteries of artil- iary, some modest Canadian Crwsus raxigl.w win more enduring fame by subsidising Prof. Kingsford's history of Canada.

Sir Wilfrid Laurier has declared that the immunity from garnishee proceedings which civil servants now enjoy should be abolished; and this opinion will be echoed by every honest man in the Dominion. The civil service has for too long afforded sanctuary to a minority of deadbeats, who have been a detriment to honest trade, and a disgrace to their more honorable colleages. It is to be hoped that Sir Wilfrid's admirable ideas on this point will soon be embodied in an effective law. At present several honorable gentlemen at Ottawa are disagreed as to the pre cise terms of the statute, and it has consequently been abandoned for a time. Surely, however, there should be little ground for such a division and we respectfully suggest the fol- lowing form upon, which all sides might unite. To wit : "Be it enacted that all privelegos and immunities now enjoyed by, gov eriment employes, in the matter of action for debt, be and are hereby abolished." It will not require a lawyer to un- derstand that ; but on the other hand, no lawyer could misunder- stand it. AMERICANS AGAINST WAR. "Life," which although a comic paper reflects the opinions of the so- called upper classes of the United States, says that among Americans there is almost as much sym}-athy with Spain as with Cuba, and this is born by the +astonishing intelligence that during three weeks after the outbreak of the war, out of a popu- lation of 70,000.000 only 60,000 men were enlisted for service in the mil- itia , while more than that number were required in Cuba alone. This leads one to believe that not only are the "best people" against the war, but that the mass of the population are against it ; and that in fact it is a war of the politicians, the contractors and the Yellow' Kid newspapers. 'Canadians are frequntly assured that the most friendly feelings are entertained by the "best people" of the United States, and we are glad to know that such is the the case ; but Canadians must regret that the actions of the States are not directed by their best people, but on the contrary by the most despicable sections of the popu- lation. It is not the best people of the United States that Canada has to deal with ; and unfortunately the worst, although insignificant in num- ber, seem to be supreme in the coun- sels of the nation I3ELGRAVE The Directors of the East Wawan- osh Agricultural Society will hold their fall show in this place on Thursday and Friday, September 29th and 30th.
